Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions; Together with Death's Duel

Summary

This book presents Done's reflection on the physical and spiritual life of the person or the relation between the body and soul. Although written in the 1620s, when Donne was already in his fifties, the book radiates an uncanny sense of the modern era. For example, in one chapter, the author talks of how diet and exercise are keys to a healthy life! The other one is dedicated to patience and tolerance for others as vital virtues. Thus a book is interesting both in terms of historical reference and for philosophical research.

    We all experience intense emotions like anger at times. Not only is anger normal, but it can serve as a great motivator and a way to improve one’s emotional intelligence. It can encourage self-improvement, instill a sense of self-control, and even trigger our “fight” response which is necessary for survival. At the most basic level, anger can help children determine whether they’re being treated fairly and allows them to tell when things aren’t right. That being said, anger can become a severe problem if it grows out of control and leads to aggressive behaviors. 
    An angry child isn’t a bad one, nor are their attitudes and actions necessarily a result of behavioral problems. These intense emotions are often triggered by psychological, social, or even hormonal problems, which is why parents should try to understand where their children’s anger comes from to handle the situation effectively. In most cases, the root problem is not apparent, which is why parents automatically assume that their children are misbehaving, so they take action accordingly. Grounding or yelling at a child who can’t control their anger isn’t going to fix anything and will likely make things worse.

    Disclaimer: This is NOT the official book. This is a Summary & it does NOT Accompany the official book. 
    Maltz was the pioneer in understanding how our self-image (a term he popularized) significantly governs our ability to reach—or fail to reach—our goals. He formulated techniques to refine and control our self-image—including visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation—inspiring countless motivational experts, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners over the past five decades. 
    Our summary of "Psycho-Cybernetics" streamlines Maltz's timeless wisdom—rooted in solid science—into an accessible format. It presents actionable strategies for thinking and acting that yield measurable results. This isn't just a book—it's a life compass steering you towards the port of personal fulfillment and peace of mind.

    The surprise breakout star of Bravo’s hit reality show, Southern Charm, introduces an essential lifestyle guide as refreshing and fun as a gin martini.   “Patricia on #SouthernCharm, like lookin’ in the damn mirror. Cheers queen.”—Lady Gaga   Fan-favorite Bravolebrity Patricia Altschul from the primetime show Southern Charm finally brings fans her eagerly anticipated opus on etiquette and living a glamorous Southern lifestyle. Patricia provides advice on every situation, from hosting a memorable cocktail party, to decoding the dress code for any event, to handling a drunken boor at the dinner table, to delivering the perfectly phrased insult—like her now iconic “shameless strumpet.” The Art of Southern Charm takes readers inside the world of Charleston’s most captivating grande dame, who (with Michael the Butler) offers a blueblood’s blueprint for curating and celebrating life at its best.   “Some viewers might watch the Bravo reality show Southern Charm to witness the escapades of Charleston’s young elite, but at T&C we watch just to see Patricia Altschul in action . . . She’s the show’s resident expert in decorum, manners, and entertaining.”—Emily Selter, Town & Country   “Since Southern Charm premiered in 2014, Mrs. Altschul, 78, has emerged as a tart-tongued matriarch doing the work of a Greek chorus for a cast in which half the members can barely figure out how to get out of bed before noon (and once there, how to proceed without a beer) . . . Some of Mrs. Altschul’s points of view may seem out of touch . . . But her commentary can also be incisive and funny, sparking roundups of her zingers across the internet.”—The New York Times
