TRENTON, NJ, January 09, 2013 (Press-News.org) Are you a business leader? A community leader? A civic leader? Or a spiritual leader?
If so, are you emotionally intelligent?
Emotional intelligence affects the intellectual and spiritual dimensions of our lives and leads to an emotionally healthy person and successful leader! In Emotional Intelligence and the Church (Bridge Logos Winter 2013) by Rupert Hayles, Jr., readers are offered a pathway to improve their emotional well-being and to embrace their overall spiritual development.
"As we learn to appreciate the differences among people and understand how our life experiences affect all our reactions, we will be able to change the way we respond to others, and we will be able to achieve self-acceptance as well," says Hayles.
Emotional Intelligence not only addresses the individual but is a powerful resource tool for leaders in the private sector, government, and non-profit sectors. According to Dr. Todd W. Hall, Professor of Psychology at Biola University and Director of the Institute for Research on Psychology and Spirituality, "Rupert Hayles does a masterful job of explaining Emotional Intelligence in a way that is clear, compelling, and applicable. His method of explaining the concept and utilizing real life case studies sets his work apart from others. It is a tremendous read and one that would be beneficial to all leaders, whether they operate in the social sector or corporate realm. I highly recommend it."
In the forward of the book, Jim Mellado, President of Willow Creek Association and Ministry Director of Willow Creek Community Church writes: "How do we serve and lead others in a healthy way when we are on a healing journey ourselves? Are there processes in place that can help a leader understand what their emotional blind spots are and then provide transformation strategies to help him or her deal with them along the way? What do you do when ministry leaders seem oblivious to their shortcomings and the church suffers because of it? How do you handle things when that person is you? How does a leader engage a healing process without the healing process becoming an undue distraction to the staff or congregation? This is what Emotional Intelligence and the Church is about. It's a powerful topic and one that requires brutal self-awareness, honesty, and courage to confront some of the painful truths that will help us come to terms with some of the deep 'whys' behind our behaviors."
In Emotional Intelligence and the Church the reader will learn:
The basis for change and why it always starts with ourselves
How to work on ourselves first
The background on emotional intelligence
The spiritual approach to emotional intelligence
The current disposition to "self"
-Independence and Failure in Self-Discovery
-Psychological Disorder and Recovery
-Trauma and Emotional Denial
-Physical Illness and Life Difficulties
The power of the next step
-The Power of Empathy
-The Power of Assessment
-The Power of Change and Transition
The power in the future
-Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace
-On Being Liberated
-On Experiencing Inner Healing
Hayles states, "The reason for the focus on emotional intelligence is because of my own recognition as a leader, that if I did not get control of my emotions, my leadership would be doomed to failure. I could not grow unless I had exposure in this area . . . on one fateful date in 2006, God showed up, and the revelation of my emotional shortfall took me by surprise and thankfully continues to take me on a never-ending journey."

Fishing for Findings in Space Station Bone Health Study
2013-01-09
For centuries, people have gazed at the constellation Pisces and imagined starry fish swimming in space. Aboard the International Space Station, however, astronauts have a much closer view of real finned friends, thanks to the Medaka Osteoclast investigation. Sponsored by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the study will help scientists uncover new knowledge about human bone health in space and on Earth.
Living in the Aquatic Habitat, the Medaka (Oryzias latipes) fish serve as a model for researching the impact of microgravity environments on osteoclasts ...

Heat-resistant corals provide clues to climate change survival
2013-01-08
In a future shaped by climate change, only the strong – or heat-resistant – will survive. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences opens a window into a genetic process that allows some corals to withstand unusually high temperatures and may hold a key to species survival for organisms around the world.
"If we can find populations most likely to resist climate change and map them, then we can protect them," said study co-author Stephen Palumbi, a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and director of Stanford's ...
Cheap and easy technique to snip DNA could revolutionize gene therapy
2013-01-08
A simple, precise and inexpensive method for cutting DNA to insert genes into human cells could transform genetic medicine, making routine what now are expensive, complicated and rare procedures for replacing defective genes in order to fix genetic disease or even cure AIDS.
Discovered last year by Jennifer Doudna and Martin Jinek of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and University of California, Berkeley, and Emmanuelle Charpentier of the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine-Sweden, the technique was labeled a "tour de force" in a 2012 review in the journal ...
Space-simulation study reveals sodium rhythms in the body
2013-01-08
Maintaining the right sodium levels in the body is crucial for controlling blood pressure and ensuring proper muscle function. Conventional wisdom has suggested that constant sodium levels are achieved through the balance of sodium intake and urinary excretion, but a new study in humans published by Cell Press on January 9th in the journal Cell Metabolism reveals that sodium levels actually fluctuate rhythmically over the course of weeks, independent of salt intake. This one-of-a-kind study, which examined cosmonauts participating in space-flight simulation studies, challenges ...
Most physicians do not meet Medicare quality reporting requirements
2013-01-08
Washington, DC – A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study shows that fewer than one-in-five healthcare providers meet Medicare Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) requirements. Those that meet PQRS thresholds now receive a .5 percent Medicare bonus payment. In 2015, bonuses will be replaced by penalties for providers who do not meet PQRS requirements. As it stands, more than 80 percent of providers nationwide would face these penalties.
Researchers analyzed 2007-2010 PQRS program data and found that nearly 24 percent of eligible radiologists qualified ...
Genes and obesity: Fast food isn't only culprit in expanding waistlines -- DNA is also to blame
2013-01-08
Researchers at UCLA say it's not just what you eat that makes those pants tighter — it's also genetics. In a new study, scientists discovered that body-fat responses to a typical fast-food diet are determined in large part by genetic factors, and they have identified several genes they say may control those responses.
The study is the first of its kind to detail metabolic responses to a high-fat, high-sugar diet in a large and diverse mouse population under defined environmental conditions, modeling closely what is likely to occur in human populations. The researchers ...
Brief class on easy-to-miss precancerous polyps ups detection, Mayo study shows
2013-01-08
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Most people know a colonoscopy requires some preparation by the patient. Now, a Mayo Clinic physician suggests an additional step to lower the risk of colorectal cancer: Ask for your doctor's success rate detecting easy-to-miss polyps called adenomas.
The measure of success is called the adenoma detection rate, or ADR, and has been linked to a reduced risk of developing a new cancer after the colonoscopy. The current recommended national benchmark is at least 20 percent, which means that an endoscopist should be able to detect adenomas in at least ...
New research may explain why obese people have higher rates of asthma
2013-01-08
New York, NY — A new study led by Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers has found that leptin, a hormone that plays a key role in energy metabolism, fertility, and bone mass, also regulates airway diameter. The findings could explain why obese people are prone to asthma and suggest that body weight–associated asthma may be relieved with medications that inhibit signaling through the parasympathetic nervous system, which mediates leptin function. The study, conducted in mice, was published in the online edition of the journal Cell Metabolism.
"Our study ...
