Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman’s brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds”—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny.
Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart.
The best news is that “emotional literacy” is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans
Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as citing facts, is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that s when I feel truly alive.
So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.
Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that She s gone too far! and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.
Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you ll read Coulter s take on:
Her politics: As far as I m concerned, I m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.
Hillary Clinton: Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.
The environment: God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It s yours.
Religion: It s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.
Global warming: The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!
Gun control: Mass murderers apparently can t read, since they are constantly shooting up gun-free zones.
Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.
Illegal aliens: I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.
If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter. -

Ramadan and Fasting – Rewards Unlimited
Ramadan and fasting in Ramadan are one of the VERY beloved acts of worship (and Ibadah) in the eyes of Allah!
This book provides Allah’s commands, prophet guidance and scholarly advice and interpretation on a great Islamic month – Ramadan. It also covers the virtues of fasting – rewards that no one can comprehend.
Consider the following about Ramadan and Fasting.
The prophet said, ““Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of earning reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven, and whoever stays up during Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of earning reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven.” (Agreed upon). ”
Nothing probably explains more about the blessings of Ramadan than the Night of Decree (Laylatal Qadr) – the worship during that ONE night is better than worshipping Allah for more than ONE THOUDAND months!
On the Night of the Descree in Ramadan, descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees,
In this month, Allaah opens the gates of Paradise and closes the gates of Hell, and chains up the devils, as is stated in al-Saheehayn (al-Bukhaari, 1898; Muslim, 1079), from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Ramadaan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained up.”
Whoever prays qiyaam in Ramadaan with the imam until he finishes, it will be recorded for him that he spent the whole night in prayer, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (1370) and others from the hadeeth of Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever prays qiyaam with the imam until he finishes, it will be recorded for him that he spent the whole night in prayer.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani
