Summary

The national bestseller and undying testament of a wife’s love for her husband as he embarks on the fight of his life. On a story assignment in France for the New York Times Magazine, Martha Weinman Lear has just escaped tourist-infested Cannes for a quiet pension in the hills behind the Riviera when she gets the call from New York. Her husband has suffered a massive heart attack and is in the hospital. Harold Lear, a fifty-three-year-old urologist and leader in the field of human sexuality research, suddenly finds himself in the helpless role of the patient. Ripping into the Lears’ lives and marriage, Hal’s coronary disease sends them on a journey through New York City’s medical maze. With bittersweet poignancy, Lear chronicles her husband’s valiant efforts to combat his sickness as more heart attacks and devastating postsurgical complications befall him. A stunning work of medical drama and journalism, Heartsounds is above all the gripping story of a passionate, enduring love.

    The 10 Laws of Trust - Building...

    Because of trust in leadership, in each other, and in the mission, a tiny company like John Deere grew into a worldwide leader. On the opposite spectrum, a lack of trust is what eventually sank the seemingly unsinkable corporation of Enron. 
    A culture of trust for all companies large and small is invaluable. Trust turns deflection into transparency, suspicion into empowerment, and conflict into creativity. And what many have learned unfortunately is that no enterprise is too large or too successful to withstand a lack of trust within its walls. 
    In The 10 Laws of Trust, JetBlue chairman and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Joel Peterson explores how a culture of trust gives companies an edge. Consider this: What does it feel like to work for a firm where leaders and colleagues trust one another? Peterson has found that, when freed from micromanagement and rivalry, every employee contributes his or her best. Risk taking and innovation become the norm. 
    In clear, engaging prose, highlighted by compelling examples, Peterson details how to establish and maintain a culture of trust, including:Start with integrityInvest in respectEmpower everyoneRequire accountabilityKeep everyone informedAnd much more! 
      
    As Peterson notes, “When a company has a reputation for fair dealing, its costs drop: Trust cuts the time spent second-guessing and lawyering.” With this indispensable resource for businesses large and small, you will learn how to plant the seeds of trust throughout your organization--and reap the rewards of reputation, profits, and success! 
    Figures, questions, and appendixes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Do you always feel the need to apologise in your relationship? Does it make you anxious? 
    Are you led to believe that you’re crazy? 
    Do you know someone who has the power to make you feel guilty, trapped and confused? 
    Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that occurs in abusive relationships. It’s the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events that occur around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity. 
    Gaslighting can happen in many types of relationship, including those with bosses, friends and parents; but probably the most devastating form of gaslighting is when it occurs in a relationship between a couple. 
    Have you been led to believe that you’re crazy by someone who is, in fact, crazy? 
    My clients often ask me: 
    ◆ What is it that turns people into gaslighters? 
    ◆ What is a gaslighter personality? 
    ◆ Why does a narcissist gaslight? 
    ◆ What are some common gaslighting techniques? 
    ◆ What are some steps you can take if you are being gaslighted? 
    ◆ How do you know if you are a victim of emotional abuse by gaslighting? 
    ◆ How do you deal with a gaslighter? 
    ◆ How should I respond a gaslighter’s mind games? 
    ◆ Can I get out of this nightmare? 
    ◆ How can I find myself again? 
    ◆ How can I recover after years of power games, control and manipulation? 
    The topics and concepts described in this book are functional and practical and will have a direct impact on your life, both in romantic and non-romantic relationships. You don't need to be an expert on the subject; just take a deep breath, relax that knot in your stomach and grab this book!
