Born on November 12, 1651 (though there is some dispute about the year), in San Miguel Neplantla, Mexico, Juana Inés de Asbaje y Ramírez was the illegitimate daughter of a Spanish father and Creole mother. Her maternal grandfather owned property in Amecameca and Juana spent her early years living with her mother on his estate, Panoaya. Juana was a voracious reader in her early childhood, hiding in the hacienda chapel to read her grandfather’s books from the adjoining library. She composed her first poem when she was eight years old. By adolescence, she had comprehensively studied Greek logic, and was teaching Latin to young children at age thirteen. She also learned Nahuatl, an Aztec language spoken in Central Mexico, and wrote some short poems in that language. At age eight, after her grandfather’s death, Juana was sent to live in Mexico City with her maternal aunt. She longed to disguise herself as a male so that she could go to university but was not given permission by her family to do so. She continued to study privately, and, at sixteen, was presented to the court of the Viceroy Marquis de Mancera, where she was admitted to the service of the viceroy’s wife. When she was seventeen, the viceroy assembled a panel of scholars to test her intelligence. The vast array of skills and knowledge she demonstrated before the panel became publicly known throughout Mexico. Juana’s reputation and her apparent beauty attracted a great deal of attention. Interested not in marriage but in furthering her studies, Juana entered the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites of St. Joseph, where she remained for a few months. In 1669, at age twenty-one, she entered the Convent of the Order of St. Jérôme, where she would remain until her death. In the Convent, Sor Juana had her own study and library and was able to talk often with scholars from the court and the university. Besides the writing of poems and plays, her studies included music, philosophy, and natural science. Her small room was filled with books, scientific instruments, and maps. Though accomplished, Sor Juana was the subject of criticism by her political and religious superiors. When her friends, the Viceroy Marqués de la Laguna and his wife María Luisa, Condesa de Paredes (the subject of a series of Sor Juana’s love poems), left Mexico in 1688, Sor Juana lost much of the protection to which she had been accustomed. In 1690, a letter of hers which criticized a well-known Jesuit sermon was published without her permission by a person using the pseudonym “Sor Filotea de la Cruz.” Included with her letter was a letter from “Sor Filotea” (actually the Bishop of Puebla, Manuel Fernandez de Santa Cruz), criticizing Juana for her comments and for the lack of serious religious content in her poems. Sor Juana’s reply, the now famous Respuesta a Sor Filotea, has been hailed as the first feminist manifesto, defending, among other things, a woman’s right to education. Her fervent reply was the subject of further criticism, and the archbishop and others demanded that she give up any non-religious books or studies. She continued to publish non-religious works, among them several villancicos (a poetic form typically sung as a religious devotional for feasts of the Catholic calendar), about St. Catharine of Alexandria, written in a more feminist than religious tone. Controversy surrounding Sor Juana’s writing and pressure from those around her, including her confessor Núñez de Miranda, resulted in Sor Juana’s forced abjuration. During this time, Sor Juana was required to sell her books as well as all musical and scientific instruments. Sor Juana responded by devoting herself to a rigorous penance, giving up all studies and writing. In 1695, a plague hit the convent. On April 17, after tending to her fellow sisters, Juana died from the disease around the age of forty-four.

Winterson's award-winning novel is the story of a girl adopted by working-class evangelists in the North of England in the 1960′s – and leaves at the age of 16 for the woman she loves. The book (and subsequent BBC mini series) are loosely based on Winterson's actual life in Accrington, Lancashire. While the story is written in first person, Winterson claims the story "isn't autobiography in the real sense."A parallel account of her life at this time is given in her 2011 memoir, Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal? which is also a must read.Get a copy here.

A sweeping exploration of the ways in which emotions shaped the course of human history, and how our experience and understanding of emotions have evolved along with us. "Eye-opening and thought-provoking!" (Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered Brain ) We humans like to think of ourselves as rational creatures, who, as a species, have relied on calculation and intellect to survive. But many of the most important moments in our history had little to do with cold, hard facts and a lot to do with feelings. Events ranging from the origins of philosophy to the birth of the world's major religions, the fall of Rome, the Scientific Revolution, and some of the bloodiest wars that humanity has ever experienced can't be properly understood without understanding emotions. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, art, and religious history, Richard Firth-Godbehere takes readers on a fascinating and wide ranging tour of the central and often under-appreciated role emotions have played in human societies around the world and throughout history--from Ancient Greece to Gambia, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, the United States, and beyond. A Human History of Emotion vividly illustrates how our understanding and experience of emotions has changed over time, and how our beliefs about feelings--and our feelings themselves--profoundly shaped us and the world we inhabit. Title: A Human History of Emotion: How the Way We Feel Built the World We Know (Hardcover) Author: Firth-Godbehere, Richard Publisher: Little Brown and Company Date Published: Hardcover – 1 Jan. 1900 Category: Psychology Subject: Emotions Binding: Hardcover Reading Age: Books for Adults No. Of Pages: 336 pages Language: English ISBN-13: 978-0316461313 Amazon Price: £28.00

Note: This article was originally published in April 2015, but was significantly expanded on 29 November 2016 to include more in-depth information on hypnotic mind reading techniques. Wouldn’t it be great if you could uncover a fact about someone that they hadn’t yet divulged to a living soul, and then use this information to enrich their life? This is exactly what Milton Erickson regularly did. He was renowned for making unbelievable – yet accurate – predictions about people. He once astounded a doctor colleague of his by congratulating her on her pregnancy. This sounds all perfectly normal, you might be

Greg Githen’s How to Think Strategically: Sharpen Your Mind. Develop Your Competency. Contribute to Success is unlike many business strategy books, focusing on the underlying perspective and micro skills rather than on the business options and strategies themselves. It is a book full of concepts, well documented with supporting analogies, biographical examples and case studies from Christopher Columbus and Benjamin Franklin to Kodak, Oakland As Baseball Team and IBM. I found the book to be well organized, building on several models created by the author and supported by a number of supplemental resources. The 20 micro skills outlined throughout the book fit within this framework and are explained in excellent detail with relevant examples for each. Throughout the book, Githen also addresses leadership styles, perception, decision-making skills, and application of micro skills in developing a strategy. For writing a strategy, the author has presented a very excellent model consisting of 5 steps. This model is used to explain a few of the company strategies presented. Following the last chapter, there are several appendices valuable in assisting organizations in using the book to train their employees. I liked the way the author explained his concepts. How to Think Strategically by Greg Githens is an excellent book which can be used as a supplement in a Strategic Management Course or in an organization training their managers to become strategic. Highly recommended!
