The Intelligent Conversationalist: 31 Cheat Sheets That Will Show You How to Talk to Anyone About Anything, Anytime
by Imogen Lloyd WebberHave you ever been at a cocktail party when all of a sudden you feel like an outsider in the conversation because you have absolutely no idea what the person is talking about? You're standing around with a glass of wine and someone starts talking about how the stock market did that day leading to the career highs of Ben Bernanke and the best way to short a stock. You stand there completely silent because you know nothing about the stock market, let alone the history of economics. You're being pushed to the outside edge of the pack and there's no way to reach gracefully for your iPhone and Google. Fear not: Imogen Lloyd Webber is on a mission to make everyone as conversationally nimble as she has learned to be as a cable news pundit. Her solution: get a few cheat sheets and study up. Remember cheat sheets, those slips of paper filled with facts? As Imogen might say "Google is good, but a cheat sheet is forever..." In eight cheat sheets, Imogen takes you through the facts that come up in most conversations: the English language, math/economics, religion, history, politics, geography, biology and culture. From the history of money to who signed The Magna Carta, Imogen shows you how to get back in a conversation, win any argument and most importantly, how to pivot out of a tough conversational bind. Imogen Lloyd Webber's The Intelligent Conversationalist will help you talk with anyone about anything anytime.

The Intelligent Optimist's Guide to Life
by Jurriaan KampThe world isn't coming to an end, contrary to what you may have heard. But the media's near-exclusive focus on conflict and disaster means that the progress and everyday acts of brilliance taking place across the globe go unnoticed. Jurriaan Kamp shows that optimism--intelligent optimism, not a rose-colored-glasses brand of wishful thinking--is good for not only your mind but your body too. He details a whole host of health problems that can actually be linked to pessimism. Moreover, there is good reason for optimism: Kamp proves that on the whole we're living longer, becoming smarter, working less, and growing richer. Not only that, democracy is on the rise, and violence is declining. This book will help you tune out the media's focus on sensationalism and negativity and turn on your natural optimism so you'll drop into a "real world" that's richer than you ever imagined.
An Intelligent Person's Guide to Philosophy
by Roger Scruton"Philosophy's the 'love of wisdom', can be approached in two ways: by doing it, or by studying how it has been done," so writes the eminent philosopher Roger Scruton. In this user-friendly book, he chooses to introduce philosophy by doing it. Taking the discipline beyond theory and "intellectualism," he presents it in an empirical, accessible, and practical light. The result is not a history of the field but a vivid, energetic, and personal account to guide the reader making his or her own venture into philosophy. Addressing a range of subjects from freedom, God, reality, and morality, to sex, music, and history, Scruton argues philosophy's relevance not just to intellectual questions, but to contemporary life. .

Intelligenza di un genio
by James Morcan Lance Morcan Augusto CelentanoIntelligenza di un genio: Tecniche segrete e tecnologie per aumentare il QI di James Morcan, Lance Morcan Il trattato definitivo sui metodi di apprendimento accelerato. Scritto da James Morcan e Lance Morcan, autori di romanzi, registi e ricercatori indipendenti, con la prefazione dell’illustre scienziato giapponese Takaaki Musha, "Intelligenza di un genio" sfata il mito che geni si nasce e non si diventa. Svela come, nella maggior parte dei casi, l’intelligenza superiore alla media sia acquisita attraverso tecniche cognitive superiori o tecnologie di stimolazione cerebrale. Tra i geni più noti di cui si parla c’è il fondatore della Apple Steve Jobs che, a 19 anni, cominciò a praticare un’antica disciplina in grado di attivare parti precedentemente dormienti del suo cervello; Albert Einstein che arrivò alla straordinaria teoria della relatività usando un raro metodo per accedere al subconscio; Kim Peek (il vero Rain Man) capace di leggere qualsiasi libro in cinque minuti e comprenderlo per intero; il genio della matematica indiano Srinivasa Ramanujan che, pur non avendo ricevuto nessuna istruzione, creò formule straordinarie sbalordendo il mondo accademico; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart che compose intere opere in uno stato di alterazione mentale. Tra le scoperte che vengono rivelate ai lettori ci sono anche le onde cerebrali comuni nei geni e i vari sistemi per indurre tali onde; tecniche mentali che l'élite mondiale e le celebrità usano in silenzio per elaborare informazioni durante il sonno o in mondi virtuali; sostanze chimiche che studenti e intellettuali in tutto il mondo adoperano per potenziare al massimo il cervello, e tecnologie all’avanguardia che importanti uomini d’affari e atleti professionisti impiegano per ottenere un vantaggio mentale sui concorrenti.

Intentional Living: Choosing a Life That Matters
by John C. MaxwellJohn C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters in INTENTIONAL LIVING. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve.

The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life.In INTENTIONAL LIVING, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

Intentional Walk: An Inside Look at the Faith That Drives the St. Louis Cardinals
by Rob RainsAn inside look at the faith that guides the all-stars.The St. Louis Cardinals have long been one of the most successful franchises in the major leagues. They have won 11 World Series titles and some of the most famous players in the history of the game have worn the storied “Birds on the Bat” uniform.While that on-field success has been well documented, Intentional Walk is the first book which goes beyond the story of what happens on the field to take an in-depth look at the men inside the Cardinal uniforms, and examine how their strong Christian faith is one of the driving forces behind their success.Intentional Walk features the stories of Adam Wainwright, David Freese, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday, Carlos Beltran, Jason Motte and other members of the 2012 Cardinals, written as those players and the rest of the team tried to repeat the 2011 world championship. The book talks about how they became Christians and offers their testimony about what it means for them to have God play such a prominent role in their lives.Playing for first-year manager Mike Matheny, a strong Christian as well, these men talk about their success and failure, about the challenges that come from playing baseball at the highest level, and how thankful and blessed they are to have that God-given ability. In the end, however, what is far more important to them is their life-long relationship they have established with Jesus Christ.

Interconnected: Embracing Life in Our Global Society
by Ogyen Trinley KarmapaPlucked from a humble nomad family to become the leader of one of Tibet’s oldest Buddhist lineages, the young Seventeenth Karmapa draws on timeless values to create an urgent ethic for today’s global community. We have always been, and will always be, interconnected—through family, community, and shared humanity. As our planet changes and our world grows smaller, it is vital we not only recognize our connections to one another and to the earth but also begin actively working together as interdependent individuals to create a truly global society. The Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is uniquely positioned to guide us in this process. Drawing on years of intensive Buddhist training and a passionate commitment to social issues, he teaches how we can move from a merely intellectual understanding to a fully lived experience of connection. By first seeing, then feeling, and finally living these connections, we can become more effective agents of social and ethical change. The Karmapa shows us how gaining emotional awareness of our connectedness can fundamentally reshape the human race. He then guides us to action, showing step by step how we can change the way we use the earth’s resources and can continue to better our society. In clear language, the Karmapa draws connections between such seemingly far-flung issues as consumer culture, loneliness, animal protection, and self-reliance. In the process, he helps us move beyond theory to practical and positive social and ethical change.
