Marya Hornbacher, author of the international best sellers Madness: A Bipolar Life and Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia, offers an enlightening examination of the Twelve Steps for those with co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders.In this beautifully written recovery handbook, New York Times best-selling author Marya Hornbacher applies the wisdom earned from her struggle with a severe mental illness and addiction to offer an honest and illuminating examination of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous for those with co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders.Relaying her recovery experiences, and those of the people with whom she has shared her journey, Hornbacher guides readers through the maze of special issues that make working each Step a unique challenge for those with co-occurring disorders.She addresses the difficulty that many with a mental illness have with finding support in a recovery program that often discourages talk about emotional problems, and the therapy and medication that they require. At the same time, Hornbacher reveals how the Twelve Steps can offer insights, spiritual sustenance, and practical guidance to enhance stability for those who truly have to approach sanity and sobriety one day at a time.
Book Synopsis How to Stay Sane by : Philippa Perry
Download or read book How to Stay Sane written by Philippa Perry and published by Picador. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SCHOOL OF LIFE IS DEDICATED TO EXPLORING LIFE'S BIG QUESTIONS IN HIGHLY-PORTABLE PAPERBACKS, FEATURING FRENCH FLAPS AND DECKLE EDGES, THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS "DAMNABLY CUTE." WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BUT WE WILL DIRECT YOU TOWARDS A VARIETY OF USEFUL IDEAS THAT ARE GUARANTEED TO STIMULATE, PROVOKE, AND CONSOLE. An Economist Best Book of the Year Everyone accepts the importance of physical health; isn't it just as important to aim for the mental equivalent? Philippa Perry has come to the rescue with How to Stay Sane -- a maintenance manual for the mind. Years of working as a psychotherapist showed Philippa Perry what approaches produced positive change in her clients and how best to maintain good mental health. In How to Stay Sane, she has taken these principles and applied them to self-help. Using ideas from neuroscience and sound psychological theory, she shows us how to better understand ourselves. Her idea is that if we know how our minds form and develop, we are less at the mercy of unknown unconscious processes. In this way, we can learn to be the master of our feelings and not their slave. This is a smart, pithy, readable book that everyone with even a passing interest in their psychological health will find useful.
Book Synopsis How to Stay Sane in a Crazy World by : Sophia Stuart
Download or read book How to Stay Sane in a Crazy World written by Sophia Stuart and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did you last go back to bed on a Sunday morning with magazines and some tea and cake? Or sink into a bubble bath by candlelight and listen to soothing music? When was your last massage or vacation? If you can’t remember the last time you took care of yourself like this, this book is for you. There was a time when Sophia Stuart needed this book, too. She lived a crazy life with no true relaxation, and soon enough she found herself in front of a surgeon who told her that she had three tumors in her throat and that she needed a five-and-a-half hour surgery—plus almost a month of medical leave to recover. And that’s when she fell apart. But the kindness of strangers helped her through it all. Her anonymous blog teamgloria.com gave her an outlet to express everything she was feeling—her fear of the pain, her anxiety about the operation, her frustration about being stuck at home, and anything else that came up. Her writing also focused on all the glorious people, places, and things that make life delicious; and slowly, it helped her realize that she wanted to live differently. On teamgloria.com, Sophia wasn’t an executive or a media specialist; she was just another person sharing her thoughts and creativity. And through this she forged deep virtual friendships with people who cheered her on and taught her how to stay sane in a crazy world. This book brings together what she learned. It’s full of practical ideas and sweet inspirations (and even a few shopping lists at the back) to guide you to a more serene place. Because sometimes the world just looks better after a stroll or reading a novel in the park or making a kindness kit for yourself or a long nap on a summer’s afternoon. So grab this book, with its gentle suggestions and peaceful images, and use it as your own little slice of tranquility.

Download or read book Going Sane written by Adam Phillips and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being sane has long been defined simply as that bland and nebulous state of not being mentally ill. While writings on madness fill entire libraries, until now no one has thought to engage exclusively with the idea of sanity. In a society governed by indulgence and excess, madness is the state of mind we identify with most keenly. Though ultimately destructive, it is often credited as the wellspring of genius, individuality, and self-expression. Sanity, on the other hand, confounds us. One of the world's most respected psychoanalysts and original thinkers, Adam Phillips redresses this historical imbalance. He strips our lives back to essentials, focusing on how we—as human beings, parents, lovers, as people to whom work matters—can make space for a sane and well-balanced attitude to living. In a world saturated by tales of dysfunction and suffering, he offers a way forward that is as down-to-earth and realistic as it is uplifting and hopeful.

By looking at some of the new and tried and tested techniques, from meditation to mental preparation involved in extreme sports and military training, Emma has devised a programme that will help everyone achieve mental stability.

Book Synopsis Going Mad to Stay Sane by : Andy White
Download or read book Going Mad to Stay Sane written by Andy White and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-destructive behaviour has traditionally been viewed in an entirely negative light. As a result, attempts are constantly made to 'fix' it without asking what its actual purpose may be. Going Mad to Stay Sane invites us to rethink our attitudes. It sets out to understand the soul's purpose in visiting violence upon itself; substance abuse, compulsive sexuality, obsessive dieting or the grandiose hauteur of a superiority complex all come under scrutiny. In analysing its roots and its manifestations, the author asks us to consider the possibility that the impulse to visit violence upon oneself may be the only means available for the soul under siege to preserve itself and state its distress. Self-destructiveness is a notoriously difficult phenomenon to bring to healing, not least because the various schools of psychology have such partisan attitudes towards it, approaching it from within the narrow parameters of their chosen theories. This book, rather than arguing for one perspective or another, finds a place for them all within the compass of a mythical tale: the story of King Midas, who wished for everything he touched to be turned to gold. Through the tale of King Midas, Andy White shows how our self-destructive urges can also point the way to our salvation. Andy White was born and brought up in Africa. He trained in London, practised as a psychotherapist for many years and now lives in North Devon as a writer and artist. www.andywhiteartist.com Coming soon, ''Path to Wholeness'', a guide to the individuation process.

Book Synopsis Sane Society Ils 252 by : Erich Fromm
Download or read book Sane Society Ils 252 written by Erich Fromm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the publication of the seminal Fear of Freedom, Erich Fromm applied his unique vision to a critique of contemporary capitalism in The Sane Society. Where the former dealt with man's historic inability to come to terms with his sense of isolation, and the dangers to which this can lead, The Sane Society took his theories one step further. In doing so it established Fromm as one of the most controversial political thinkers of his generation. Anaylsing how individuals conform to contemporary capitalist and patriarchal societies, the book was published to wide acclaim and even wider disapproval. It was a scathing indictment of modern capitalism and as such proved unwelcome to many. Unwelcome because much of what Fromm had to say was true. Today, as we settle into the challenges of the 21st century, Fromm's writings are just as relevant as when they were first written. Read it and decide for yourself - are you living in a sane society?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do they call it “insane”? “Out of sane” is better. Losing all of that sanity that is supposed to get you through life. Instead, I found myself falling out of life. Twists and turns, twelve surgeries causing chronic pain, leaving me permanently disabled with complete loss of independence. Two soul-stealing marriages all leading to deterioration into a world of pain, alcohol, drugs, and pills. Walking hand-in-hand with mental illness. The hate. The anger. The sadness for what used to be. I hope this helps others out there not to fall out of life as I did. Or at least, know there is someone out there who feels your pain.

Book Synopsis How to Stay Sane and Successful in the Covid World by : Kathryn Mayer
Download or read book How to Stay Sane and Successful in the Covid World written by Kathryn Mayer and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can COVID-19 be a path over or around the obstacles we've put in our own paths so we can reach our higher potential?When the pandemic took a wrecking ball to everything we think of as normal, some people refused to despair. What did they know that the rest of us didn't?COVID-19 opened a unique moment where we can find time to recalibrate, to face our fears and demons, and to change our relationship to ourselves and our careers. The rigid old rules are gone, and we need to find ways to adapt to a world that values speed more than perfection. We get to fill that void through more self-compassion and reinventing our paths to success. As a society, we humans are proving ourselves resilient and adaptable, creating new processes and rituals-from moving our professional and social lives over to Zoom to changing the way we shop to co-birthing an international movement for racial justice. But making these huge pivots can still be a struggle.An executive coach, Kathryn C. Mayer watched the cascading crises reach critical mass, and she asked, "How can I be of service to the people I'm coaching? What do people need now?" That two-part question led her to create a plan that helps others move through this challenging time and come out stronger on the other end: the four-part SANE Formula: Small Steps; Accelerate Experimentation; Nurture; Exercise Your Network. She was thrilled when her first post-COVID group began to try out the process by actively networking and moving faster and not overthinking things-taking small but firm steps to get past those fears and demons-and wrote and published her ebook to share these insights with a wider audience than she could reach in small-group training.
