Book excerpt: From the field's pioneer, an exploration of the neurobiology and psychology of wisdom: what science says it is and how to nurture it within yourself, at any stage of your life What exactly does it mean to be "wise?" And is it possible to grow—and even accelerate—its unfolding? The modern epidemics of suicides, opioid abuse, loneliness, and internet addiction are damaging people’s health and destroying the social fabric. This book shows how you can take control of your life by increasing your wisdom. For over two decades, Dilip Jeste, MD, has led the search for the biological and cognitive roots of wisdom. What's emerged from his work is that wisdom is a very real and deeply multi-layered set of traits. Across many cultures and centuries, he's found that wise people are: Compassionate and empathetic; aware of their gifts and blind spots; open-minded; resolute and calm amid uncertainty; altruistic decision-makers who learn from their experiences; able to see from many perspectives and "altitudes"; and often blessed with a sense of adventure and humor. If you seek to be a wiser person—with your family, at work, and in your community—here's the place to start, with the researcher who's launched and advanced this exciting new path to our highest human potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth mentoring programs must change in order to become truly effective. The world’s leading expert shows how. Youth mentoring is among the most popular forms of volunteering in the world. But does it work? Does mentoring actually help young people succeed? In Older and Wiser, mentoring expert Jean Rhodes draws on more than thirty years of empirical research to survey the state of the field. Her conclusion is sobering: there is little evidence that most programs—even renowned, trusted, and long-established ones—are effective. But there is also much reason for hope. Mentoring programs, Rhodes writes, do not focus on what young people need. Organizations typically prioritize building emotional bonds between mentors and mentees. But research makes clear that effective programs emphasize the development of specific social, emotional, and intellectual skills. Most mentoring programs are poorly suited to this effort because they rely overwhelmingly on volunteers, who rarely have the training necessary to teach these skills to young people. Moreover, the one-size-fits-all models of major mentoring organizations struggle to deal with the diverse backgrounds of mentees, the psychological effects of poverty on children, and increasingly hard limits to upward mobility in an unequal world. Rhodes doesn’t think we should give up on mentoring—far from it. She shows that evidence-based approaches can in fact create meaningful change in young people’s lives. She also recommends encouraging “organic” mentorship opportunities—in schools, youth sports leagues, and community organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is quite rare to encounter an “authentic” Christian––living in obedience to Jesus’ Word. This spiritual guide focuses on the practice of what Jesus taught in easy, non-religious terms. It explores how we may apply Jesus’ principles to our everyday lives. He stated in John. 7:16, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me.” This true life adventure includes a legacy of spiritual wisdom discovered in an abandoned cottage on the edge of Exmoor Forest. Some beautiful sketches of a Yellow-Necked mouse added to the intrigue of wondering why the scribe signed his work as “Wiser-Mouse”. Now, rescued from the ruin of dampness and decay––his messages are woven into the Legacy as, “The Lost Notebooks of Wiser-Mouse”. Spiritually mature Christians need to challenge the widespread, insidious teaching and practice of unsound doctrine. 1 Cor.2:15. Do we blindly follow the traditions of man and his churches? Or, do we obey the commands of God in the Holy Bible? They are distinctly different. “But in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Matt. 15:9. The Holy Bible is the final arbiter on all matters of Christian doctrine. It is utterly irrelevant as to WHO is right––authenticity is focused only on WHAT is right! The Wiser-Mouse Legacy is for those who seek to live the immutable doctrine of truth as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Shakespeare’s plays are riddled with passages, scenes and sudden plot twists which baffle and confound the most devoted playgoer and the most attentive commentator. Why, for example, didn’t Hamlet succeed to the throne of Denmark at the instant of his father’s death? (It’s not because the Danish throne was elective.) Why does Chorus in Romeo and Juliet promise his audience ‘two houres trafficke of our stage’ when the play obviously runs almost three hours? How is it that Old Hamlet sent his son to school in (Protestant) Wittenberg but his Ghost was sent to (Catholic) Purgatory? and is there cause-and-effect here? How can Lancelot Gobbo be correct (and he is) when he claims Black Monday (the day after Easter) and Ash Wednesday (the 41st day before Easter) once fell on the same day? And what is a ‘dram of eale’? This engaging and lucid book solves these tantalizing riddles and many others.
