Finding Rose
Summary
Rose is delightful, flamboyant, and a widow. Having just lost her husband, Rose's daughter steps in to find Rose increasingly disoriented and forgetful. Even as a nurse, Maureen does not recognize the early signs of her mother's dementia - a diagnosis that changes her mother's life and those close to her. The contrast between the reality of Rose's condition and the "Casablanca Style" in which she lived is stark yet beautiful. The story follows Maureen and Rose as Maureen learns skills to open communication with her mother through her mother's confusion, being open to stories from the past that may be new to her, how to work through being part of the Sandwich Generation and understanding family conflict arising from a dementia diagnosis. Through Maureen, you will learn practical skills to understand and communicate with someone with dementia at the early and middle stages. It gives insight into what it feels like to have dementia and how to answer difficult questions without using reality orientation or the therapeutic lie such as "Where is my husband?" when they have passed away - maybe a long time ago. It helps families understand they are not alone. This book parallels Still Alice's medical description of the illness but picks up where Still Alice leaves off. Finding Rose provides practical application for how to stay connected with your loved ones.

Emotional Intelligence
Summary
Are you tired of struggling emotionally and socially in each and every environment that you end up in? If so, then keep listening. Maybe you are always in conflicts with your friends, finding that they oftentimes end up avoiding you entirely. Maybe your romantic relationships are always cut short because you feel like you are entirely misunderstood, no matter how often you try to better yourself. Does this sound familiar? If you find that the social situations that you end up in are like pulling teeth, it may be that you lack emotional intelligence. Now, this is not something that people generally want to hear, but keep listening — when you lack emotional intelligence, you struggle to relate to other people. You find that you cannot directly empathize with others, or you may feel like you struggle to make good, solid emotional connections. You struggle with your own emotional abilities as well — you may find that controlling your temper or behaving in a way that is not impulsive becomes an impossibility for you. When this happens, the unfortunate end result is that your relationships suffer. When your relationships suffer, you feel worse about yourself, and the entire situation repeats, over and over and over. Eventually, you find that your own emotional state is just too much. You may withdraw or choose to believe the emotions themselves are the problem, not you. However, that could not be further from the truth. Your real problem lies in the lack of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is your ability to relate to other people. It is the ability to really understand what other people think and feel. It is your ability to recognize that, at the end of the day, social skills and relationships matter. And ultimately, your emotional intelligence actually begins to matter more than your IQ. In fact, in many contexts, people will choose someone emotionally intelligent over having an IQ. It matters to people, and because of that, you should be eager to develop your own emotional intelligence. This book is here to help you with exactly that. Through guiding you through the fundamentals of emotional intelligence, you will learn how to better relate to others. This book will teach you this by providing you with the following: Information on what emotional intelligence is, why it matters, how you develop it, and what it does for you Understanding empathy and how it will directly relate to your ability to become emotionally intelligent The four pillars of emotional intelligence, what they entail, and why they matter: self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management How to build your own emotional intelligence up And more Even if you feel like you are too far gone in terms of your relationship capabilities, you can still learn to grasp these concepts.
