I liked this book because Heather and her friends seem like real people.The book makes me feel like it was a true thing like it really happened in live.It's fun to pretend that you are the charater. It's a great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This collection of lectures is such a welcome change from his meticulously written texts. Kohut was a genius. This theories are brilliant - but his writing is complex, bordering on tangential. That's not a problem in this collection. Additionally, Kohut's theoretical explanation of self psychology is brought to life with many practical examples. In certain instances this text is like a "how-to" for the beginner and experienced to profit from. The most disturbing aspect of this work is how much longing it inspires. Those lucky advanced students got so much from a genius. They were priviledged to see his "real" and practical side. He let his guard down while filling their minds with the wisdom of his experience. You may find yourself wishing you were one of those lucky candidates at the Chicago Institute.

This two-in-one volume combines the already classic "Darkover" novels THE HERITAGE OF HASTUR (1975) and its direct sequel SHARRA'S EXILE (1981). If you have yet to discover the magic of Marion Zimmer Bradley's legendary creation, this a perfect volume to get introduced to the world of the bloody sun and its inhabitants. Read about the unwilling Comyn heir Regis Hastur, his forbidden love to his paxman Danilo Syrtis. Read about the dangerous Sharra matrix, a conspiration to overthrow the Comyn Council and numerous other wonders of the world of the red sun. Do not miss it.

This is a phenominal book! I bought it in 1996 as an X-ms gift and got one for myself. The pictures are stunning and depict the variety of images we know and love as Christ from the ages. It is my favorite coffee-table book, and off-season, it keeps my bible company. Out of print now, it is well worth the higher price of a used edition. All glory to him!

Marion Woodman is wonderful and wise and her work is very thought provoking. She talks about our relationship to our shadow sides, the dark aspects of ourselves and how this gets developed, why it's important, how to integrate it with the rest of our lives. She is a Jungian analyst and teaches through the use of metaphors and dreams. Some of what she was saying about addiction was particularly insightful. At the end of her lecture she takes questions from the audience and this helps to further develop the ideas she is presenting. I thoroughly enjoyed this tape and look forward to listening to more. Also check out her work with Robert Bly - I love what they do with their interpretations of fairy tales and the way they tell stories together and are so invested in helping people to understand what goes on beneath the surface of their lives.

I enjoyed this book very much. This is the first book I have ever seen written about this particular book of the Bible. It tells the story of Hosea and Gomer as told in the book of Hosea in the Bible. The author wrote accurately in the parts that are also covered in the Bible. She wrote the details very convincingly.

Do you want to say to yourself, with unwavering conviction, "Hey I'm good at this. People listen to me, and they pay attention when I speak?"

Your listener is more apt to listen to you, when the strength of your idea is communicated in a way that they feel comfortable with.

This book is a tool that teaches readers that instead of trying to get your listener to do what you want, adjust your own communication style in a way that is easy for your listener to hear, understand, appreciate, listen to, and want to act upon.

While there are always exceptions, men exchange bottom line information. And women tend more often to communicate to build relationships.

A wonderful example that the author offers to show how to communicate to men is:

"Your colleague has been unable to attend a meeting. He comes to your office after the meeting and asks, 'How did the meeting go?' This is an open-ended question, and as such it implies that he wants a full, general explanation of the meeting. Do not be misled. He does not want a full, general explanation; what he wants is: 'It was a successful meeting. We decided to postpone the sales presentation for a week. John will get back to us about the details.'"

This doesn't mean giving up being who you are. It just means that if you want to experience feeling understood, respected and appreciated you must adjust your communication style in a way for your interlocutor to best receive want you are sharing.

This book is fun to read because Marian Woodall considers enough scenarios to support her points, that even if you don't do some of the social taboos that she has identified in this book, you will recognize yourself as having done them several times in the past - and that is certainly life affirming.
