Lucas is the only man who can satisfy all her desires. Sally has a broken wrist and is struggling to cope with being off work and home alone. She's eaten nothing but soup in days and is sick to death of daytime TV. She goes for a walk but is distracted by the delicious smells coming from the local café. The tall and tanned Greek chef, Lucas, wants to look after Sally...and not just by feeding her with his delicious fried foods. He invites her back to enjoy a meal with him alone that night once the café is closed. His special brand of optimism and dominance has Sally bending to his will and begging him for more. Their less than innocent evening meal is finished off by a trip to the bedroom with a pot of chocolate spread because, as Lucas says, the only thing better than a hot naked woman is a hot naked woman covered in chocolate!

Call Me an AS presents a holistic, integrated, and principle-centered approach to solving personal and professional problems by teaching others to look inward instead of outward to achieve personal fulfillment. Dr. Lorenzo Suter is the best-selling author of Self-Empowerment. Suter hosts and speaks at events all over the world. His passion is to empower entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders, and business owners to help them attain massive success. Once cited in the Interior Journal as a “prototypical entrepreneur,” Dr. Suter has literally built his entire career on that definition even before the term entrepreneur came into common use. He is a high-energy, fiscal-conscious, and goal-driven executive and motivational speaker. Through anecdotes and scriptures, Suter provides practical advice that will help anyone strengthen their intuitive decision-making skills while also sharing detailed guidance on how to change. Some changes are easier to accomplish than others. When our troubled emotions result from lack of knowledge or skill, people can sometimes be taught techniques to help themselves. For one reason or another, the troubled person has never learned what to think and do in the face of life changes that create chronic or recurrent distress and dysfunction. Their problems are not the result of deep emotional troubles but of a lack of knowledge or skill to cope effectively. From the outset, I met a mountain of obstacles—obstacles not due to a prejudiced or unwilling mind but to an unconscious single-mindedness and an automatic habit of judgment I had never noticed before. Initially, I wondered if I would ever be able to step outside my structured mind. This was certainly a challenge to be reckoned with, and something in me responded with energy. One must be able to have (1) humility, (2) ingenuity, (3) fruition, and (4) knowledge to gain understanding that (7) contentment and (8) greed can detour you from understanding your (9) senses and becoming a (10) Christian. I am now in a place where I no longer feel sad. Instead, I have happy sorrow! Wasted energy does not produce the code. One must have emotional agility. Call me an as! Lil Cuz (titular character of a children’s book) would suggest for you to Beat Adversity and Aspire to Live (a chapter in Self-Empowerment), and live in The Tr-Youth (an Autobiography).

Principles of right and wrong guide the lives of almost all human beings, but we often see them as external to ourselves, outside our own control. In a revolutionary approach to the problems of moral philosophy, Philip Kitcher makes a provocative proposal: Instead of conceiving ethical commands as divine revelations or as the discoveries of brilliant thinkers, we should see our ethical practices as evolving over tens of thousands of years, as members of our species have worked out how to live together and prosper. Elaborating this radical new vision, Kitcher shows how the limited altruistic tendencies of our ancestors enabled a fragile social life, how our forebears learned to regulate their interactions with one another, and how human societies eventually grew into forms of previously unimaginable complexity. The most successful of the many millennia-old experiments in how to live, he contends, survive in our values today. Drawing on natural science, social science, and philosophy to develop an approach he calls "pragmatic naturalism," Kitcher reveals the power of an evolving ethics built around a few core principles-including justice and cooperation-but leaving room for a diversity of communities and modes of self-expression. Ethics emerges as a beautifully human phenomenon-permanently unfinished, collectively refined and distorted generation by generation. Our human values, Kitcher shows, can be understood not as a final system but as a project-the ethical project-in which our species has engaged for most of its history, and which has been central to who we are.

'The Rational and the Moral Order' is a significant book providing a comprehensive theory of morality. The opening chapter is simply marvellous. Baier provides a cogent response to Hume's conundrums on practical reasoning: logical entailment, he argues, is not the correct model of the relation between reasons and that for which they are reasons. Indeed, the giving of reasons is, in part, a social enterprise, and there is no necessary connection between rationality and self-interest. Just as the giving of reasons is a social enterprise taught to succeeding generations, so too is the moral enterprise, for a moral order is a social order of some sort. It is a social order that encourages a critical stance toward, and permits the correction of, its mores. Moral precepts can be sound or unsound, and yet can be relative to a moral order. In the concluding chapter Baier shows how his theoretical framework can be used to confront some of the moral problems people face, problems which have also exercised contemporary philosophers. Though there are many philosophers who believe that killing is worse than letting anyone die, there are few that defend the view other than by raw intuition. Baier deploys the resources of his theory of morality in support of this widely shared but poorly defended viewpoints. "Along the way, Baier deals with virtually all the problems that have taxed moral philosophers for a very long time -- rationality, responsibility, morality's relation to law, the good life, prisoner's dilemma, moral motivation, and others. The Rational and the Moral Order is careful, insightful, and convincing." --Theodore M. Benditt, University of Alabama

Philosophical theories of emotions, and to an extent some theories of scientific psychology, represent attempts to capture the essence of emotions basically as they are conceived in common sense psychology. Although there are problems, the success of explanations of our behavior in terms of believes, desires and emotions creates a presumption that, at some level of abstraction, they reflect important elements in our psychological nature. It is incumbent on a theory of emotions to provide an account of two salient facts about emotions as conceived in common sense psychology. As intentional states, emotions have representational and rational properties: emotions represent states of affairs; and they are rationally related to other mental representations, figure in rational explanations of behavior, and are open to rational assessment. Emotions also have a close relationship to a range of non-intentional phenomena: in typical cases, emotions involve physiological changes, usually associated with the activation of the autonomic nervous system, which are proprioceptively experienced; and they often involve behavioral tendencies, as well.

The ethics of creating -- or declining to create -- human beings has been addressed in several contexts: debates over abortion and embryo research; literature on "self-creation"; and discussions of procreative rights and responsibilities, genetic engineering, and future generations. Here, for the first time, is a sustained, scholarly analysis of all of these issues -- a discussion combining breadth of topics with philosophical depth, imagination with current scientific understanding, argumentative rigor with accessibility. The overarching aim of Creation Ethics is to illuminate a broad array of issues connected with reproduction and genetics, through the lens of moral philosophy. With novel frameworks for understanding prenatal moral status and human identity, and exceptional fairness to those holding different views, David DeGrazia sheds new light on the ethics of abortion and embryo research, genetic enhancement and prenatal genetic interventions, procreation and parenting, and decisions that affect the quality of life of future generations. Along the way, he helpfully introduces personal identity theory and value theory as well as such complex topics as moral status, wrongful life, and the "nonidentity problem." The results include a subjective account of human well-being, a standard for responsible procreation and parenting, and a theoretical bridge between consequentialist and nonconsequentialist ethical theories. The upshot is a synoptic, mostly liberal vision of the ethics of creating human beings.

Clearly written, with minimal technical jargon, the book features many contemporary real-world examples. Through a unique conceptual framework, students will learn how to assemble a coherent logical argument, assess sources, and organize and present written and verbal arguments.
