Sparks fly and passion ignites in these heart-racing novels-with a bonus novella-of Damien Stark, a powerful man who always get his way, and Nikki Fairchild, a fiercely driven woman who only says “yes” on her own terms. Kenner’s riveting and emotionally charged Stark Trilogy has quickly become a sensation among romance fans. ![]() ![]() So many people have opened up to others only to be shot down or criticized. It calms the soul and reduces their anxiety. ![]() ![]() I have discovered the importance of listening to our clients, hearing them out, and providing an empathetic ear. Yalom quotes Carl Rogers who identified essential qualities of an effective therapist, “accurate empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.” I encourage my brothers and sisters in behavioral health and other service positions to daily practice these simple characteristics. He asked his clients, “If your tears had a voice, what would they be saying?” Yalom asks, “ What do you do when your client weeps?” He suggests counselors to not be so quick to comfort and get out of that sadness, but rather to stay with it. It is a powerful part of therapy to come alongside our clients as they process their emotions. I have learned the therapeutic value of being in the moment with a client when they are dealing with a stressful thought, and listening to the symptoms that he/she is experiencing. How counterintuitive it was for me when leading groups at Grand Canyon University to gently nod a person out of their comfort zone. ![]() In my opinion, people go to great efforts to remain in a comfortable state.

Because of its focus on the institutions of capitalism, the book could be rechristened ‘The Code of Capitalism’ (rather than of Capital). The ‘code’ refers to the laws of property, contracts, trusts, financial intermediaries, and corporations that are able to transform an asset into capital and thereby generate private wealth in a capitalistic system. According to Pistor, capital is made from two ingredients: an asset (in a very broad sense, including any object, skill, or idea) and the legal code. This new, brilliant and clear (including for non-experts) book by Katharina Pistor is titled 'The Code of Capital' and explores, as the subtitle specifies, 'How the law creates wealth and inequality'. ![]() ![]() Ian Rankin is also the recipient of honorary degrees from the universities of Abertay St Andrews, Edinburgh, Hull and the Open University A contributor to BBC2’s Newsnight Review, he also presented his own TV series, Ian Rankin’s Evil Thoughts. ![]() He has also been shortlisted for the Anthony Awards in the USA, and won Denmark’s Palle Rosenkrantz Prize, the French Grand Prix du Roman Noir and the Deutscher Krimipreis.
