Par Janelle Barlow. 2023
The third edition of this bestseller (over 275,000 copies sold) builds on the tested formula that helps organizations recognize the…
value of complaints using updated examples and concepts in the age of COVID-19. The first edition of A Complaint Is a Gift introduced the revolutionary notion that customer complaints are not annoyances to be dodged, denied, or buried but are instead valuable pieces of feedback-not to mention your best bargain in market research. Complaints provide a feedback mechanism that can help organizations rapidly and inexpensively strengthen products, service style, and market focus. Most importantly, complaints that are well received create customer loyalty.This new edition condenses the tried and true eight-step formula into a tighter, more efficient three-step formula. From her work with clients, the author has updated industry-specific complaint examples and added in new concepts, such as a process that enables employees to handle complaints with increased emotional resilience-something that is sorely needed since dealing with increasingly difficult customers is a common occurrence in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Handling complaints doesn't have to be a negative, soul-crushing experience. Janelle Barlow gives the right tools to treat each of them as a source of innovative ideas that can transform your business.The Final Days of Jesus: The Archaeological Evidence

Par Geoffrey Wagner. 1972
First published in 1972 Five for Freedom is a candid study of five European fictional heroines as anticipatory of contemporary…
feminism: Madame de Merteuil of Choderlos de Laclos’ Les Liaisons dangereuses, Jane Eyre, Emma Bovary, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and Tony Buddenbrook. Professor Wagner clearly believes that, in the first place, the role of women in the development of fiction has been underestimated, while the claims to originality of many recent female liberationists have been equally overestimated. This is a far-ranging, lightly-handled book with insights into both mode of fiction, as it developed and answered women’s demands, and into the role of some of its leading heroines; for Professor Wagner’s studies do not limit themselves strictly to the ‘five for freedom’ but foray into Balzac’s Cousine Bette, Catherine Earnshaw of Wuthering Heights, Anna Karenina, and Eca de Queiroz’s Portuguese Bovary in Cousin Bazilio. This brilliant little study is topical, readable, yet learned. It will be useful for scholars and researchers of literature, Women’s studies, and Gender studies.Manifestación sin tanto rollo: Te cuento todo, aquí no hay secretos

Que entiendas que es fácil, divertido, y que es real que sí puedes tener todo eso que quieres, tomando en cuenta todo lo que te estaré platicando en este libro.» Karla Barajas creció en un entorno donde las terapias alternativas eran lo más común, por ello, conceptos como tapping, sanacióncon manos y Ley de la Atracción resultan familiares para ella desde que era pequeña.

Par María Moreno. 2023
Compilación de una década de ensayos sobre literatura, escritura, lectura, autoras y autores de la genial cronista argentina. Desde el…
futurismo radical de la omnipresente Virginia Woolf hasta el misterio intacto que sobrevive al suicidio de Alfonsina Storni. El amor por Chile, con la grafía exaltada de la oda a Gabriela Mistral, a Pedro Lemebel, a Raúl Zurita. Como él, María Moreno atestigua: "Yo vi a las mejores mentes de mi generación...". Ricardo Piglia, Fogwill y Horacio González, algunas de ellas: la etiqueta periodística reserva a las amistades o a las obcecaciones la redacción del obituario. Pero aun así reúne una década de intervenciones críticas dispersas, publicadas en distintos medios, y las ponencias, discursos y presentaciones de libros leídas en voz alta tiempo atrás. María Moreno ha reescrito cada uno de estos microensayos que, en un solo volumen, reafirman su fenomenal erudición, su indispensable insolencia intelectual, su indómita vigencia. La crítica dijo: «Somos muchos los que consideramos a María Moreno la mejor cronista argentina de todos los tiempos y una de las voces documentales más lúcidas de la lengua, entre otras hipérboles razonables».Jorge Carrión, The New York Times «Sus análisis desgarran el texto sobre el que se posa su mirada. La elaborada ingeniería crítica elude la solemnidad que suelen ostentar los aparatos críticos académicos ortodoxos. No porque la autora los desconozca; tan solo por elección de tono y configuración».Andrés Tejada Gómez, Otra Parte «El cruce permanente, la sorna y la mirada al detalle literario y extraliterario imprevisto hacen también a la particularidad de su escritura».Natalí Schejtman, Radar «...una poética de la lectura y una política de la crítica que, en vez de justificarse en la arrogancia del Juicio, se compromete en la reinvención de sus objetos. Su táctica es metódica y eficaz».Revista Ñ «Lo que parece repetición se revela otra cosa. Leer será, incesantemente, el arte de ese desvío».Gabriel Giorgi, Bazar AmericanoMicrotraumas: Cuando no sabes qué está mal, pero nada se siente bien
Par Meg Arroll. 2023

cada día como lo merecemos. Este es el resultado de la acumulación de rasguños, cortaditas y golpes psicológicos. El embotamiento emocional, las microagresiones,las relaciones familiares, las humillaciones durante la infancia, la positividad tóxica y el gaslighting son todos ejemplos de microtraumas que tienen por efecto algunas consecuencias como la ansiedad de alto funcionamiento, la sensación de languidecer, el perfeccionismo desadaptativo, comer de forma emocional y tener problemas para dormir.Nature and Supernature (St. Michael's Lectures #Vol. 1973)
Par E. L. Mascall. 1976
In the fall of 1972, St. Michael’s Jesuit School of Philosophy and Letters at Gonzaga University inaugurated the St. Michael’s…
Lectures as a forum for outstanding international scholars to examine the question of God in modern thought. The theme for the lecture series is much the same as that of the famous Gifford Lectures, but the approach is not only philosophical but also theological. The uniqueness lies primarily in the dynamic inherent in the structure of the series. A lecture in a tripartite form (over a three-day period) is given each fall. As the series unfolds, each lecturer is to enter into dialogue with the immediately preceding lecturer and, to the extent that he wishes, he may respond to other former lecturers in the series. At the same time, each expands the discussion by his or her own creative contribution. As a result there will develop an ongoing exchange among thinkers of international reputation.Becoming Psychic: Lessons from the Minds of Mediums, Healers, and Psychics
Par Jeff Tarrant. 2023
A scientific, brain-based approach that provides an understanding of psychic abilities, spirit communication, and energy healing.Jeff Tarrant was fascinated by…
the paranormal as a child but then his training as a neuropsychologist turned him into a hardcore skeptic. If something could not be reliably and consistently demonstrated in the laboratory, then it wasn&’t real. These rigid ideas were gradually worn away as he repeatedly witnessed and experienced things that simply should not be possible—telekenesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, mediumship, energy healing, and more….This book follows his journey of studying, interviewing, and testing a wide variety of mediums, psychics, and healers as he tries to determine what is going on in their brains when they engage in these supernormal abilities. Readers will get to know these gifted people, exploring what makes them tick and discovering firsthand evidence that this stuff is real. If we can understand how the psychic mind works, might the rest of us be able to use this information to help develop our own abilities? Becoming Psychic uses knowledge uncovered through case studies, expert interviews, and research to offer a variety of practical insights to help readers develop their own psi abilities. Each chapter concludes with a &“try it yourself&” section, helping readers apply specific concepts and techniques into their own psychic development practice. In addition to uncovering the tips, skills, and tools identified in Tarrant's research, the book also explores how to use brain-hacking technology, such as neurofeedback, audio visual entrainment, and pulsed electromagnetic fields to &“nudge&” the brain toward heightened psychic abilities--as well as quieting internal chatter, supporting empathy, and enhancing creativity—all the mental skills necessary to move from balance and wellness to the extraordinary! Becoming Psychic fills an important gap in the psychic development literature. There are books that tell the stories of psychics and mediums. There are books that focus on the science and evidence for these practices, and there are books devoted to teaching you how to develop your own skills. This book contains all of the above and more!Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It's Time to Heal but You're Not Sure You Want To

ancestral tribal wisdom with a fusion of two Western healing systems: Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy • Shares stories from her healing work around the world, showing how this system can help resolve PTSD, depression, sexual trauma, addiction, and chronic illness • Presents action steps that readers can take immediately to engage the personal healing process The journey to healing trauma is not always straightforward. As Euphrasia &“Efu&” Nyaki reveals in detail, the healing process is a complex ritual of energy movement on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Born and raised on Mount Kilimanjaro&’s slopes in Tanzania, East Africa, Efu explains how she came to develop her profoundly successful system for helping people heal trauma by integrating ancestral tribal wisdom with a fusion of two Western healing systems: Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy. She shares how her journey to become a healer was initiated by her Grandfather, who told her the legend of the sacred healing snail of the Nyaki clan. She explains how she discovered Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy, and how combining these therapies created a powerful system for releasing cellular memories and healing the intergenerational and collective traumas hidden beneath the surface of suffering. Sharing stories from her healing work around the world, she presents action steps, such as meditations, breathwork, or creating a family tree, that readers can take immediately to regulate their nervous systems, deepen their awareness, and engage the personal healing process. Demonstrating how trauma survivors can transform their suffering into vibrant wholeness, the author shows how healing trauma is the result of bringing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our lives into an integrated coherence.
