This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in nonverbal communication tackles the science of smiles and their extraordinary social impact. When someone smiles, the effects are often positive: a glum mood lifts; an apology is accepted; a deal is struck; a flirtation begins. But not all smiles are equally benign: a rival grins to get under your skin; a bully's smirk unsettles his mark. Who flashes more fake smiles, popular kids or unpopular kids? Is it good or bad when a bereaved person smiles? Much more than cheerful expressions, smiles are social acts with powerful consequences. Drawing on her research conducted at Yale University and Boston College as well as the latest studies in psychology, medicine, anthropology, biology, and computer science, Marianne LaFrance explores the compelling science behind the smile, revealing that this familiar expression is not as simple as it first may seem. Her groundbreaking work shows how the smile says much more than we realize—or care to admit. To read this book is to learn just how much the smile influences our lives and our relationships.

Download or read book Five Steps to Resurrection written by Anna-Nina Kovalenko and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Main themes: love, woman as its object and its source, emigration as a cultural experience, the philosophy of spiritual ascent, compassion for the animals, for the world. (One of main characters of the novel is Stacey, the cat adapted by heroine who then perished, but she came in critical time to save it.) Genesis and memorable events of the second half of the twentieth century, beginning of the twenty-first. Brief annotation: to an extent, Five Steps to Resurrection can be considered an alternative to Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marques, in which a man and a woman, destined for each other, finally unite in advanced age. The narration, done in the voice of the female protagonist, maintains an ironic and skeptical distance, offering a bitter smile at times. In contrast to Marques, the author of Five Steps focuses not on physiological details but rather on visual descriptions (whether aesthetical or anti-aesthetical) as well as on subconscious processes. This novel, as the authors earlier novel White Horse, is written in a wreath form: each chapter begins with the last line of the preceding chapter, and the conclusion goes back to the foreword. The authors interest in the philosophical teaching Everest, and the work of its spiritual leader, D. Arundel, is apparent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorraine is a quiet, meticulous thinker that has gone her whole life blaming her father for her childhood torment and her failed relationships. She has hid behind blame, regret and doubt, building walls around herself in order to remain invisible - in the hopes of alluding hurt and heartbreak again. Those same walls come crashing down as she finds herself facing a judge who sentences her to mandatory therapy. Lorraine's therapist helps her break through to the truth of her paralyzing fear, and forces her to stop pointing her fingers in blame, take responsibility for her a waiting destiny and step off the edge into life. Winston is a high level executive making big moves and seemingly has it all together. He, however, is convinced no one would ever understand the pain he has silently experienced and the tears he has cried for the love he lost. He is too ashamed to reach out for help and too afraid that everyone deserves forgiveness, but him. A chance encounter on an elevator ignites his heart. This leads him to an old friend that will help him see that forgiveness may be the very thing that will give Winston the second chance he has been praying for.Living in fear is a slow long drawn straight line to nothing. We struggle to set goals and to create a realistic dream; too afraid to live. We choose fantasies filled with knights in shining armor coming to rescue us from our sin and personal state of woe. We decide not to change on our own, knowing what's necessary to complete our purpose. When does it end? When do we stop living in fear of the unknown or fear of success or fear of inadequacy? When do we take the leap of faith, when do we take the opportunity to step off the edge?
