Books by John Eliot

Canzoni del venerdi sera introduce la poesia di John Eliot al pubblico italiano grazie alla collaborazione del poeta con un gruppo di giovani e talentuosi traduttori. Ognuna delle quaranta poesie e presentata con testo a fronte inglese - italiano, per arricchire l'esperienza di lettura.

In his third collection of poetry, John Eliot examines thoughts, fears, hopes and feelings surrounding the conclusion of life. His own fear of death finds poignancy in the mundane sufficient to elevate it to the spiritual.

John Eliot's second collection of poems is a eclectic miix of new work drawing on his background as a teacher of religion, his home in France, music, history, fellow poets, the deaths of a parent and of close friends. He enjoys playing with words as a jazz musician plays with notes, and invites his readers to find their own meaning in his verse.

Were you ever advised to "just relax" before making a big speech? Don''t. From Texas A&M professor and celebrity advisor, Dr. John Eliot, this insightful guide takes a sledgehammer to what most of us think we know about doing our best. Eliot explains how mainstream psychology moves us in the wrong direction when it comes to stress management and performance enhancement; techniques like visualization and goal setting, based on pseudoscience rather than empirical evidence, often get in our way rather than propel us forward. Drawing on field-tested experiments and extensive research in neuropsychology, Eliot shares why these "common sense" strategies tend to come up short for the majority of people--and how, instead, great accomplishments are more likely to result from "Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket", "Thinking Like a Squirrel", and "Embracing Butterflies As a Good Thing". These counterintuitive practices not only trigger your full natural talent, but also teach you how to thrive under pressure, not dread it. OVERACHIEVEMENT incorporates Eliot''s work with Fortune 500 companies, Olympic athletes, renowned surgeons, military pilots, and Grammy-winning musicians, providing you with a powerful combination of inspiring stories and life-changing tools, offering the skills needed to overcome stress and rise above your peers in the boardroom, on the playing field, or in the normal day-to-day of life.

John Eliot's short collection contains poems of love and hate, poems of religion and death, loss and grief. Poems to touch your soul. Poems to carry with you and return to read again and again.

In this graphic adaptation of OVERACHIEVEMENT, Dr. Eliot offers the rest of us the counterintuitive and unconventional concepts that have been embraced by the Olympic athletes, business moguls, top surgeons, salesmen, financial experts, and rock stars who have turned to him for performance enhancement advice.
