    EQ+MH=PH Emotions! How to live...

    “How emotional you are!”  
    So often we hear this comment from a friend or a family member.   
    Mostly we fumble as we think of a response because we do not know what to say as we cannot relate to what it means to be ‘emotional.’  
    Emotions make us human.  
    They give us information about what is going on inside us.  
    Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the level of awareness of what is taking place or going to take place. It is the ability to comprehend and use that knowledge effectively. Emotions help us reflect on how we are mentally equipped to give our life direction. Our emotional responses make us win friends, build healthy relationships or lose them. It is our EQ that allows us to stay ahead at work, and be focused and cheerful.   
    In recent times there is a lot of focus on one dimension of human well-being, physical health.  
    But then, physical health is just one part of our overall health. A partial one.  
    The equation to have a healthy life begins with a healthy and high EQ plus a healthy mind.  
    Once these two, our emotional quotient (EQ) and mental health (MH) are in place then our physical health (PH) will be in good shape. If we have a high EQ then even if we have any physical illness it will not make us stressed or discouraged to live a good and effective life. This seems understandable and logical but is very difficult to follow. This is where this book helps. Not only to open the perspective of well-being and health to have a multidimensional outlook but also to sustain it. too,

    America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why neoliberalism became so prevalent in the United States and why it's time for us to turn our backs to it. 
     
    While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don't fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and explains how we can use this pivotal point in time to create a more positive future. 
     
    This book traces the history of neoliberalism-which applies to a set of capitalistic philosophies favoring free trade, financial austerity, and deregulation-up to the present. Hartmann explains how neoliberalism was sold as a cure for wars and the Great Depression. He outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education. 
     
    Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or choose to return to FDR's Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.

    Albigensian Crusade and Hussite...

    Eastern Christians did not acknowledge the Pope's supremacy, and many Catholics felt that it was lawful for him to declare a crusade to bring schismatics back to the obedience of Rome. German knights fighting the Orthodox Russians at the Battle on the Ice in 1242 believed this, as did the Hungarian prosecutors of the 1235 invasion of Bosnia, which was thinly disguised as a crusade. The Church even extended the object of crusade to believers in communion with Rome, who refused to obey lawful authority. After peasants revolted against the Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in 1204 over tithes and land rights, Pope Gregory IX was persuaded to declare them heretics and proclaim a crusade against them, and when the “heresy” of Catharism began to take root in southeastern France toward the end of the 12th century, both Church and State considered the use of force to extirpate it. 
    If John Wycliffe was the “Morning Star of the Reformation,” Jan Hus was the Guiding Star of the movement. Hus started as a Czech priest, but he quickly became notorious for debating several Church doctrines such as the Eucharist, Church ecclesiology, and many more topics. Today, he is viewed as a predecessor of the Lutherans, but the Church viewed him as a threat, and the Catholics eventually engaged Hus’ followers (known as Hussites) in several battles in the early 15th century. Hus himself was burned at the stake in 1415, but his followers fought on in a series of battles known as the Hussite Wars, and Czechoslovakia’s inhabitants by and large remained Hussite afterward. About 100 years later, Martin Luther would spark the Reformation across the continents. 
    The Albigensian Crusade and Hussite Wars: The History of the Catholic Campaigns against Christian Minorities in Europe before the Protestant Reformation examines the origins of the Cathars and Hussites, the conflicts with Catholicism, and the results of the fighting.
