I will also plug "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport.

While it may also be a good vocabulary tool for an English class, the "Feelings Wheel" was actually developed as a therapy/counseling aid. I believe this one is a variant that does indeed focus on finding the right words for your emotions.

I completely agree. Cantor was powerful and very dangerous, and now his political career is at least significantly delayed.

There are lots of good books on this subject too, some of which are just pretty interesting reads even if you're not interviewing. My favorites:

Another tip to keep in mind: HR is terrible.

There's a challenging dichotomy here that's worth discussion: #2 and #3 highlight the need to communicate and articulate what you want, but #1 and #4 highlight the pitfall of too much (and/or the wrong kind of) that communication.

The always-helpful folks over at Lifehacker have a good article on this.

There are a variety of other suggestions in the link below, including surfboard wax, vegetable oil, or lubricating oil:

Where's President Bartlet when we need him to smack down some bible thumpers?

I once knew a woman who did almost everything in the world for her kids, including letting them sleep in her bed with her almost every night until they were around 10 years old. (Is that normal??) She may have had the best of intentions, but I swear the kids' emotional well being was severely affected, they seem to…

I think it's fun commentary. :-)

Keeping on topic with this article, I guess the point is that if she's going to be immature, inexperienced, demanding, uncultured, inexperienced in bed, indecisive, and ignorant about investing...she might as well at least be young and hot, so why stop at only 4 years younger? ;-)

This is an excellent way to clarify, thank you!

You are presuming that young sex is good sex, and I can say without hesitation, this is often not the case. The dirty little secret of the younger girl who wants an older guy because she thinks guys her age are bad in bed is...she's bad in bed too.

So older men dating younger women for sex is predatory, but younger women dating older men for money, experience, life skills, fancy dates, culture, sex (!), direction, and financial security is...not predatory? :-)

Or from the man's point of view: She'll expect you always pay for everything, she's immature, inexperienced, demanding, uncultured, inexperienced in bed, indecisive, and ignorant about investing. What's the up-side, again? :-)
