Cambridge University Press A Handbook of Wisdom Psychological Perspectives A HANDBOOK OF WISDOM PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES By Sternberg Robert J Author Jun012005 Paperback
Book SynopsisA topic ignored in mainstream scientific inquiry for decades, wisdom is beginning to return to the place of reverence that it held in ancient schools of intellectual study. A Handbook of Wisdom, first published in 2005, explores wisdom's promise for helping scholars and lay people to understand the apex of human thought and behavior. At a time when poor choices are being made by notably intelligent and powerful individuals, this book presents analysis and review on a form of reasoning and decision-making that is not only productive and prudent, but also serves a beneficial purpose for society. A Handbook of Wisdom is a collection of chapters from some of the most prominent scholars in the field of wisdom research. Written from multiple perspectives, including psychology, philosophy, and religion, this book gives the reader an in-depth understanding of wisdom's past, present, and possible future direction within literature, science, and society.Trade Review"This handbook provides a valuable compendium of the current state of knowledge about wisdom. It is a worthwhile read, and the conscientious reader will be more knowledgeable if not wiser." -David D.

Cambridge University Press Heuristics and Biases
Book SynopsisJudgment pervades human experience. When do people make judgments that serve them well, and why are they accurate in these situations?

Cambridge University Press Emotion and Narrative
Book SynopsisEmotions have a life beyond the immediate eliciting situation, as they tend to be shared with others by putting the experience in narrative form. Narrating emotions helps us to express, understand, and share them: the way we tell stories influences how others react to our emotions, and impacts how we cope with emotions ourselves. In Emotion and Narrative, Habermas introduces the forms of oral narratives of personal experiences, and highlights a narrative''s capacity to integrate various personal and temporal perspectives. Via theoretical proposals richly illustrated with oral narratives from clinical and non-clinical samples, he demonstrates how the form and variety of perspectives represented in stories strongly, yet unnoticeably, influence the emotional reactions of listeners. For instance, narrators defend themselves against negativity and undesired views of themselves by excluding perspectives from narratives. Habermas shows how parents can help children, and psychotherapists can aTrade Review'In this highly engaging and interdisciplinary book, Habermas integrates philosophy, linguistics, psychology, and psychoanalysis to explore the intersection of emotion and narrative as fundamental to human communication. Narratives both form and transform our emotional experience; Habermas weaves a compelling story that places emotion at the center of human interaction.' Robyn Fivush, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Psychology, Emory University, Georgia'This is an outstanding achievement. Nestled within this masterful work, which explores the transformational power of narrating our emotional experiences, is a story of the author’s boundless curiosity, passion, and humanity, which radiate from every page. If you, like me, are fascinated by the role of narrative, you cannot afford to be without this book.' Antonino Ferro, Member of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society and the American Psychoanalytic Association, and Recipient of the Mary S. Sigourney Award'This book sheds light on a fundamental axis of our human existence. It clearly and precisely explains the why and how of the daily exchange process in which we tell others what we just went through and we listen to others telling us their own experiences.' Bernard Rimé, Psychological Sciences Research Institute, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium'This is the most far-reaching exploration of emotion and narrative to date. It opens up new and compelling perspectives on emotions as a social and communicative phenomenon, on our power to transform emotions through narration, and on the significance of perspective-taking for coping. For the interdisciplinary field of memory studies, it is a true godsend.' Astrid Erll, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany'No book on the subject of emotion and narrative can hold a candle to Habermas' cutting-edge and wide-ranging monograph. Meticulously researched and cogently argued, this landmark work will be essential reading not only for specialists in emotion psychology, but for everyone interested in autobiographical storytelling and the centrality of narrative to emotion.'

Little, Brown Spark When Men Behave Badly The Hidden Roots of Sexual
Book Synopsis“An exceptional book” (Helen Fisher) by a leading evolutionary psychologist and sex researcher that lays out a new theory of sexual conflict, exposing the roots of the dangerous dynamics that underpin men’s predatory behavior — and what can be done to address it.Sexual conflict permeates ancient religions, from injunctions about thy neighbor's wife to the permissible rape of infidels. It is etched in written laws that dictate who can and cannot have sex with whom. Its manifestations shape our sexual morality, evoking approving accolades or contemptuous condemnation. It produces sexual double standards that flourish even in the most sexually egalitarian cultures on earth. And although every person alive struggles with sexual conflict, most of us see only the tip of the iceberg: dating deception, a politician's unsavory sexual grab, the slow crumbling of a once-happy marriage, a romantic breakup that turns nasty.

Book SynopsisIncome inequality has become the defining issue in the U.S. since the end of the recession. With stagnant wages and declining mobility among the working and middle class, many Americans believe the economic system unfairly favors the wealthy. Education can change this. To do so, however, we need to create the right conditions for students to succeed (i.e., increasing opportunity) and explore solutions to help them move ahead (i.e., improving mobility). This issue of the Journal of Social Issues, Education Inequality: Opportunity and Mobility, focuses on this theme.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION Reframing the Inequality Debate toward Opportunity and Mobility 619Norman Eng and Allan Ornstein SECTION I: OPPORTUNITY School Finance & the Distribution of Equal Educational Opportunity in the Postrecession U.S. 629Bruce D.
