Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Have you ever wanted to lash out at someone but lacked the appropriate putdown The Machiavellian's Guide to Insults takes a humorous approach to dealing with such annoying personalities as the drama queen, the wealth flaunter, the self-proclaimed brain, the temperamental twit, and the talkaholic. Recommended insults range from the subtle and seemingly unintended to the outright declaration of war. Both have a place in your arsenal. Had Machiavelli written a book on insults, this is the book he would have written. He would have suggested calmly wounding your enemy with a tailor made barb without coming across as if you've been wounded yourself. Often the best putdown is a comment which seems on the surface to be well intentioned. And ham-handed attempts to relate or sympathize can be the most effective ways of underlining your opponent's weaknesses. These are far more humiliating than any angry outburst could ever be. Learn how to eviscerate the proud homeowner, the would-be tough guy, the bully, the boastful parent, the second guesser, and many others. Machiavelli would also have suggested having these insults ready beforehand, since, despite the old cliché, revenge tastes best when it is a dish served piping hot.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'A Spiritual Book about Family and Faith'My mother and dad, Mary and Victor Vivio were born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, in the early part of the twentieth century. My father's parents, my Nanna and Nonno came to America from Italy, arriving at Ellis Island at about 1900. My dad would often say 'I'm glad my dad didn't miss the boat!' My parents loved America, loved life and loved their family. They tried to pass on their love and wisdom to their children. This book may make you laugh a little, cry a little, and hopefully enrich your life a little. If so, in writting it, I have achieved my goal.The idea of this book came about as our family would gather and remember stories and anecdotes from my parents after their passing. I wanted to write a book to honor their legacy, and I wanted share my memories with their children and grandchildren.As I began to reflect more on my parents' lives, I saw parallels in their lives and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. In particular, as I looked back on 'my father's wisdom and my mother's love,' I began to realize that they were both both filled with the love of God the Father and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. My parents were not particularly religious people, although, they raised their children Roman Catholic and saw to it that we had the opportunity to attend Catholic schools. Beyond this religious foundation given us, the lessons taught us, and the experiences they shared, were very much in line with the lessons taught by Jesus. So, I thought, why not write this book with a broader appeal for people everywhere who would benefit from 'My Father's Wisdom and My Mother's Love.'. …
