7 Habits Of Highly Effective People 15th Anniversary Editionby Stephen CoveyISBN 0743269519 (0-7432-6951-9)
Softcover, Simon & Schuster

› Find signed collectible books: '7 Habits Of Highly Effective People 15th Anniversary Edition'Book summary:Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ancient Chinese Revealed'Book summary:Winner of the 2003 Independent Publishers Book Award for Best Multicultural Non-fiction. Recognized as the newest and most accurate translation of Sun Tzu's ancient classic with six significant improvements over other translation: 1) It uses the Taipei compilation of the main Chinese textual traditions instead of older fragmentary sources. 2) It individually translates each Chinese ideogram to let readers see the precise formulas in the original text. 3) It offers English sentences that clarify the central meaning of the text but chooses words to demonstrate the range of meaning in the original. 4) It preserves the original weight of ideas by creating one and only one line of English for each line of Chinese. 5) It duplicates the original format of the Chinese by grouping and numbering lines clearly to preserve the original contextual associations. 6) It assumes that Sun Tzu was rigorously consistent in his ideas. The imprecise word usage that creates contradictions in other versions are eliminated. [via]

The Devil's Dictionaryby Ambrose BierceISBN 1934255025 (1-934255-02-5)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Devil's Dictionary'Book summary:Herein are contained the sardonic definitions published by Ambrose Bierce as The Cynic's Word Book in 1906; augmented, edited and republished by the illustrious author in 1911 as The Devil's Dictionary. Unlike other editions which modify, tone down and make moronic additions to Bierce's original Devil's Dictionary, presented here are the complete contents of the 1911 edition without deletions, modifications or embellishments, of any kind, which might diminish the impact of the original politically incorrect collection; hence, the redundantly worded description of this volume as "Complete and Unabridged". This editorial license would surely have caused Bierce to go ballistic if he were still alive.
Ambrose Bierce was an extraordinary individual: a veteran of the American Civil War, renowned writer, political pundit, social commentator and, in many ways, a philosopher who was ahead of his time. His mysterious disappearance, in 1914 during the Mexican Revolution, was the subject of the movie: Old Gringo.
Shortly before he vanished, he wrote to a friend: "Good-bye - if you hear of my being stood up against a Mexican stone wall and shot to rags please know that I think that is a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs. To be a Gringo in Mexico - ah, that is euthanasia".
His own definition of cynic suited him well:
"CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision." [via]More editions of The Devil's Dictionary:

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Loca De La Casa/the Crazed Woman Inside Me'Book summary:Este libro es una novela, un ensayo, una autobiografía. La loca de la casa es la obra más personal de Rosa Montero, un recorrido por los entresijos de la fantasía, de la creación artística y de los recuerdos más secretos. Es un cofre de mago del que emergen objetos inesperados y asombrosos. La autora emprende un viaje al interior en un juego narrativo lleno de sorpresas. En él se mezclan literatura y vida en un cóctel afrodisíaco de biografías ajenas y autobiografía novelada. Y, así, descubrimos que el gran Goethe adulaba a los poderosos hasta extremos ridículos, que Tolstoi era un energúmeno, que Montero, de niña, fue una enana, y que, con veinte años, mantuvo un estrafalario y desternillante romance con un famoso actor. Pero no deberíamos fiarnos de todo lo que la autora cuenta sobre sí misma: los recuerdos no son siempre lo que parecen. Un libro sobre la fantasía y los sueños, sobre la locura y la pasión, sobre los miedos y las dudas de los escritores, pero también de los lectores. La loca de la casa es, sobre todo, la tórrida historia de amor y salvación que hay entre Rosa Montero y su imaginación. [via]

Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectivaby Stephen CoveyISBN 8475098355 (84-7509-835-5)
Softcover, Paidos Iberica Ediciones S A
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'Book summary:Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change'Book summary:Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

They Have a Word for It: A Lighthearted Lexicon of Untranslatable Words and Phrasesby Howard RheingoldISBN 1889330469 (1-889330-46-9)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'They Have a Word for It: A Lighthearted Lexicon of Untranslatable Words and Phrases'Book summary:Which came first: The worldview, or the words to describe it? Very possibly the latter, argues the author of They Have a Word for It. "Finding a name for something," says Howard Rheingold, "is a way of conjuring its existence." While collecting words for this book, Rheingold says he "became sympathetic to the idea that we think and behave the way we do in large part because we have words that make these thoughts and behaviors possible, acceptable, and useful." Rheingold's refusal to pull together words for entertainment value alone--though many of these words, and Rheingold's commentary on them, are highly entertaining--is what has given this book (previously out of print) a kind of cult following.
Hawaiian contributes a word (ho'oponopono) here that means "solving a problem by talking it out"; Japanese, a term (kyoikumama) for a "mother who pushes her children into academic achievement"; Indonesian, a word (kekaku) meaning "to awaken from a nightmare"; and Mayan (some things, it seems, are universal), a concise way to say "stupid in-laws" (bol). While it is the Asian and obscure linguistic groups that seem to come up with the most "powerful" ideas, German wins for packing a whole sentence's worth of meaning into one (albeit long) word. How much happier Strunk and White would rest if we could just say Torschlüsspanik when discussing "the frantic anxiety experienced by unmarried women as they race against the 'biological clock'"; Treppenwitz when referring to the "clever remark that comes to mind when it is too late to utter it"; and Schlimmbesserung when lamenting "a so-called improvement that makes things worse." --Jane Steinberg [via]

On a 12-day trek through the Cevennes, Stevenson's cross to bear was Modestine, a stubborn, manipulative donkey he could never quite get the better of. After many humorous trials and tribulations, Stevenson found that his disdain for the creature had turned to love, and at the end of the trip he said goodbye with much regret. Written in just a few months when he was in his late twenties, the publication was initially a means to earn a quick buck. Little did Stevenson know that his Modestine would become one of the great characters in travel literature. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook'Book summary:How to Wrestle Free from an Alligator: 4. If its jaws are closed on something you want to remove (for example, a limb), tap or punch it on the snout.
Though it's being marketed as a humorous title--after all, it's unlikely you'll be called upon to land a plane, jump from a motorcycle to a moving car, or win a swordfight--the information contained in The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is all quite sound. Authors Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht consulted numerous experts in their fields (they're cited at the end of the book) to discover how to survive various and sundry awful events. Parachute doesn't open? Your best bet for survival is to hook your arms through the straps of a fellow jumper's chute--and even then you're likely to dislocate both shoulders and break both legs. Car sinking in water? Open the window immediately to equalize pressure, then open the car door and swim to the surface. Buried in an avalanche? Spit on the snow--it will tell you which direction is really up. Then dig as fast as you can.
Each survival skill is explained in simple steps with helpful illustrations. Most stress the need to be prepared--both mentally and physically. For example, to escape from quicksand, you will need to lay a pole on the surface of the quicksand, flop on your back atop the pole, and pull your legs out one by one. No pole? No luck. "When walking in quicksand country, carry a stout pole--it will help you get out should you need to."
Hopefully you'll never need to know how to build a fire without matches, perform a tracheotomy, or treat a bullet wound. But in the words of survival evasion resistance escape instructor "Mountain" Mel Deweese, "You never know." --Sunny Delaney [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel'Book summary:Piven and Borgenicht's Worst-case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel is, like their previous bestseller The Worst-case Scenario Survival Handbook, a pithy, witty and surprisingly useful guide to getting through life's stickier patches with body, soul and even dignity intact.
The difference here is that the authors have addressed the kind of glitches, pitfalls, disasters and conundra one might encounter when sojourning in distant or hostile lands. Hence there are sections offering advice on: How to Control a Runaway Camel; How to Survive in Frigid Water; How to Pass a Bribe; How to Deal with a Tarantula; and so on. Some of the problems and chapters might seem a little far-fetched and remote (How to Cross a Piranha-infested River); others all-too local and everyday to be confined to a travel book (How to Survive a Mugging). Each and every chapter is clearly written, accompanied by simple but effective illustrations, and derived from the accumulated wisdom of top survival experts in various armies, navies, academies and universities. There's also a very handy appendix dealing with general travel tips, such as which thumb-gestures to avoid when you don't want to insult the natives, and how to say, "Hello, I have been seriously wounded" in Japanese. This is a must-pack for all modern adventurers. --Sean Thomas [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'Book summary:Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Diccionario de Simbolos/ A Dictionary of Symbols'Book summary:Desde los egipcios, la simbologia ha sido la gran ciencia de la antigüedad. En Oriente ha perdurado sin interrupcion hasta ya entrado el siglo XX y en Occidente inspiro todo el arte medieval y, en gran medida, el renacentista y barroco, hasta que el descubrimiento del «Inconsciente» volvio a revivir los simbolos en ambitos y maneras muy distintos. Este Diccionario de simbolos es la ultima y definitiva version de la obra en prosa mas importante del poeta y critico de arte Juan Eduardo Cirlot, quien en los anos cincuenta, en Barcelona, conocio al musicologo y antropologo Marius Schneider, que le inicio en la simbologia. Publicado por primera vez en 1958 con el titulo Diccionario de simbolos tradicionales, fue traducido al ingles en 1962. Cirlot continuo elaborando nuevas voces y articulos que introdujo en la segunda edicion castellana de 1969 y en la segunda edicion inglesa y americana de 1971. En esta edicion, que puede considerarse la tercera, han sido insertadas nuevas voces, hasta el momento solo publicadas en ingles, asi como el articulo «Simbolismo fonetico», ultimo ambito de estudio simbologico de Cirlot, recuperado de su publicacion periodistica. En el epilogo, Victoria Cirlot situa en la vida de su padre la construccion de esta obra siempre en expansion y la relaciona con la poesia y la critica de arte. Muestra la vivencia simbolica de Cirlot aportando documentos ineditos, como por ejemplo la carta a Andre Breton en la que se relata el sueno aludido en la voz cicatrices. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Inteligencia Emocional/Emotional Intelligence'Book summary:Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, this book argues that a view of intelligence based on IQ is far too narrow, and instead makes the case for "emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human success. Emotional intelligence is defined in terms of learned self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be loved. People who possess high emotional intelligence succeed in careers and personal relationships. An outline of how parents, educators, and adults seeking self-improvement can cultivate emotional intelligence is included.[via]
Un verdadero fenómeno editorial que revoluciona el concepto de inteligencia, la inteligencia emocional es la que nos permite tomar conciencia de nuestras emociones, comprender los sentimientos de los demás, tolerar las presiones y frustraciones que soportamos en el trabajo, incrementar nuestra capacidad de empatía y nuestras habilidades sociales, y aumentar nuestras posibilidades de desarrollo social. En esta revolucionaria obra ideas prácticas que resultarán útiles a todos los lectores, en especial padres y maestros, son presentadas. Las innovadoras estrategias que plantea ayudarán a erradicar la violencia y otros rasgos negativos que son la causa de muchos males que aquejan a nuestra familia y nuestra sociedad.More editions of La Inteligencia Emocional/Emotional Intelligence:

La Loca De La Casa/the Crazed Woman Inside Meby Rosa MonteroISBN 8466313281 (84-663-1328-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Loca De La Casa/the Crazed Woman Inside Me'Book summary:Este libro es una novela, un ensayo, una autobiografía. La loca de la casa es la obra más personal de Rosa Montero, un recorrido por los entresijos de la fantasía, de la creación artística y de los recuerdos más secretos. Es un cofre de mago del que emergen objetos inesperados y asombrosos. La autora emprende un viaje al interior en un juego narrativo lleno de sorpresas. En él se mezclan literatura y vida en un cóctel afrodisíaco de biografías ajenas y autobiografía novelada. Y, así, descubrimos que el gran Goethe adulaba a los poderosos hasta extremos ridículos, que Tolstoi era un energúmeno, que Montero, de niña, fue una enana, y que, con veinte años, mantuvo un estrafalario y desternillante romance con un famoso actor. Pero no deberíamos fiarnos de todo lo que la autora cuenta sobre sí misma: los recuerdos no son siempre lo que parecen. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Mas Alla Del Bien Y Del Mal'Book summary:Pese a los elementos tematicos que comparte con Asi hablo Zaratustra mismos completamente distinto. Entre una y otra obra hay, fundamentalmente, un reajuste de la mirada: el paso del simbolo al concepto, de la poesia a la psicologia, de la confianza a la sospecha, de la lejania que permite dejar de lado los defectos a la optica microscopica que pone de relieve las miserias.

Comme Un Romanby Daniel PennacISBN 2070725804 (2-07-072580-4)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Comme Un Roman'Book summary:Un prof peut-il conseiller à ses élèves de sauter les pages d'un livre, de ne pas finir un roman et même de ne pas lire ? Oui, si c'est le seul moyen pour les faire entrer dans le monde magique des livres. C'est en tout cas le parti pris de Daniel Pennac : auteur à succès depuis Au bonheur des ogres jusqu'à Monsieur Malaussène, il est aussi professeur de français, et il a bien compris qu'il ne sert à rien de vouloir forcer les élèves : si on leur donne le droit de sauter les premières pages de description du Père Goriot de Balzac, on leur laisse une chance de se laisser envoûter par Rastignac. Et c'est l'essentiel, car se priver de Balzac, et de tous les autres, c'est passer à côté d'un grand bonheur. Et d'une grande liberté.
Redonner aux lecteurs un accès aux textes ; rendre aux textes leur pouvoir de fascination, de subversion, de magie : tel est le credo de ce traité de lecture, qui est en fait un véritable traité d'humanisme. Et qui se lit, bien sûr, "comme un roman"... --Karla Manuele [via]
