books about: emotional     books:       Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life230 reviews Henry Cloud, John Townsend Zondervan, 2002 Good book... life changer I am so happy I bought this book. It has so much information. It is a book that needs study... not just a read. I grew up with alcoholic parents and very codependent relationships. I am glad there is a Christian and biblical based book that speaks to the fact that when you are a Christian loving on people it does not also mean you are a doormat for others to take advantage of. God gave us ...             The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change, 2nd Edition196 reviews Christiane Northrup Bantam, 2006 Every 40ish Woman Should Read This Book I have gained so much information about menopause from this book.

Women need to begin by taking real care of themselves and everything else falls into place. If ...             Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys108 reviews Dan Kindlon, Michael Thompson Ballantine Books, 2000 Must read... and you won't be able to put it down! This is the best book I've seen about raising boys. My husband and I both have read every single page -- it's the first parenting book we've ever really read together, and we've talked about all of it. My husband felt like he was reading about all the secret struggles he went through as a child too. This is the first book that's made me want to change the way I parent...             The Language of Letting Go (Hazelden Meditation Series)68 reviews Melody Beattie Hazelden, 1990 Taking Care of Ourselves A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations. I happened to be in Barnes and Noble with her when she bought Melody Beattie's book, and after perusing a few of the passages, I bought one for myself. What a difference reading The Language of Letting Go made (and continues to make) in my life. I've ...             A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father103 reviews Augusten Burroughs St. Martin's Press, 2008 Why............... are people like Burroughs' father allowed to procreate? This story was so sad, but there were amusing moments. I am amazed that one can come through a childhood like his and still feel such obvious love for his parents (I blame his mother too). It's a tribute to his character that he was able to survive and be successful in his life after the madness he was exposed to. Disturbing as this book ...             Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men187 reviews Lundy Bancroft Berkley Trade, 2003 to policemen, social workers, court personnel, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, homosexual couples and women If you fall into any category in the title, this book is a must read. It is a monumental work of "this guy Lundy" (as named by one of his reluctant clients). I had to dig deep into my mis-assumptions and misunderstanding of what's behind the abuse. Abused women? If these two words recall a weak silhouette of a housewife with an immigrant background with "no other choice", be ready to change that ...             Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High131 reviews Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, ...

When John Gottman talks, people listen!             Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence84 reviews Daniel Goleman, Richard E. Boyatzis, ... Harvard Business School Press, 2004 Primal Leadership This is a very intersting book. I am new to leadership and just starting to go through book and I find it with many fascinating ideas.             Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ39 reviews Daniel Goleman Bantam Books, 2005 An Audacious Proposal for a Paradigm Shift in our Public Schools Most of the reviews of this book claim it gave them new insights. Me too. Only what I "take home" as most important from this book is quite different than what others have said in their reviews. I spent my working career as a civil servant (now retired), an employee of the Federal government. Firing someone who passes their 2 year probationary period is more difficult in the Federal civil ...             Working with Emotional Intelligence73 reviews Daniel Goleman Bantam, 2000 Working with Emotional Intelligence Daniel Goleman encountered many leaders of industry emphasizing the importance of emotional intelligence rather than technical expertise in excelling in their respective businesses.

Increasingly organizations are ...             The Thyroid Solution: A Revolutionary Mind-Body Program for Regaining Your Emotional and Physical Health5 reviews Ridha Arem Ballantine Books, 2007 Excellent reference for those with Thyroid problems and Doctors alike I love Dr. Arem! He gave me my life back. I read his previous edition of this same book a long time ago. I found out things about Hashimoto's that none of my previous Endocrinologists seemed to know. I was stunned at how much an imbalanced thyroid can effect your body. I was also intrigued by his different approach to T 4 and T 3. I had very poor health back then, so I managed to get an ...             When Bad Things Happen to Good People123 reviews Harold S. Kushner Anchor, 2004 Fantastic read! I chose to read this book because my Dad was diagnosed with Brain cancer and i found it to be extremely helpful, without being too 'religious'. I am not a church person, but i do believe in God. This book just seemed to wrap it's arm around me and let me think and feel exactly as i needed to, without offering any of that unhelpful help that others tend to, without thinking their words through ...             Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing182 reviews Christiane Northrup Bantam, 2006 Fabulous! This is a well-rounded approach to women's physical health, and the mental-spiritual connection that ties it all together.

Pain. My mom found this book on a plane. Someone left it there perhaps accidently as they were gathering up their suitcases, or as I prefer to believe, because they finished reading it and wanted others to read about it. That's why I love books so much they are meant to be read, shared, enjoyed. My mom read it and then gave it to me to read. I may leave the book on a park bench or on the beach. This ...             Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt to Manipulate You68 reviews Susan Forward, Donna Frazier Harper Paperbacks, 1998 For those in need, I highly recommend this book! I myself am currently in the FOG that she describes in this and it has hit home very well and helping me redeem myself. She's VERY good at explaining and assisting. Sometimes I feel she's right there. Very informative about the different types of emotional blackmailers. I'm not done reading, but have gotten 3/4 of the way and I am so happy I bought this book. It caught my eye one day browsing ...             Identical5 reviews Ellen Hopkins Margaret K. McElderry, 2008 The Compulsive Reader's Reviews There are so many similarities between Kaeleigh and Raeanne. They're identical twins. They share an absentee politician of a mother, and lonely drunk of a father. They both have had a painful childhood, and for both, it all began with a gruesome accident. But the source of that pain is entirely different for each girl. For Kaeleigh, it's the pain of a father who loves her too much, who loves ...             Emotional Vampires: Dealing With People Who Drain You Dry79 reviews Albert J. Bernstein McGraw-Hill, 2002 Useful, Informative, Easy to Read I came across this book when a close friend of mine ran into issues with a difficult person in her life.

I have tendencies toward the obsessive-compulsive side, while he tends toward the ...             The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize it and How to Respond220 reviews Patricia Evans Adams Media, 2003 This book saved my soul Verbal abuse kills your soul one word at a time. This book helped me realize that no amount of explaining on my part would ever get through to my husband how his words damaged me and others. After 20 years, it hit me that he will never change. Please realize that verbal abusers can be women as well as men (the author doesn't emphasize this enough). All in all, this is the most helpful book I ...             Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships77 reviews Daniel Goleman Bantam, 2007 Intelligence + Awareness = Healthy Relationships! (translation: Read this Book!) Daniel Goleman's book, "Social Intelligence- The New Science of Human Relationships", is a thought-provoking, analytical immersion in how people interact with one another on a daily basis. Goleman is perhaps widely recognized for his earlier success when he wrote about a similar theme in his previous book Emotional Intelligence. Goleman's theories are intellectually stimulating and ...              search for books blackmail, boundaries, controlling, conversations, creating, emotional, emotionally, hazelden, identical, intelligence, intelligent, language, leadership, learning, manipulate, meditation, menopause, mind-body, obligation, physical, protecting, recognize, regaining, relationship, relationships, respond, revolutionary, solution, vampires, verbally books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
