Download or read book Redirect written by Timothy D. Wilson and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there were a magic pill that could make you happier, turn you into a better parent, solve a number of your teenager's behavior problems, reduce racial prejudice, and close the achievement gap in education? There is no such pill, but story editing -- the scientifically based approach described in Redirect -- can accomplish all of this. The world-renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson shows us how to redirect the stories we tell about ourselves and the world around us, with subtle prompts, in ways that lead to lasting change. Fascinating, groundbreaking, and practical, Redirect demonstrates the remarkable power small changes can have on the ways we see ourselves and our environment, and how we can use this in our everyday lives. "There are few academics who write with as much grace and wisdom as Timothy Wilson. Redirect is a masterpiece." -- Malcolm Gladwell
Book Synopsis Own Your Self by : Kelly Brogan, M.D.
Download or read book Own Your Self written by Kelly Brogan, M.D. and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times best-selling author presents a radical alternative to psychotropic meds: discerning the meaning in your symptoms and your struggle as a way to reclaim your health and your self. For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings-sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry-are somehow "not okay." And, all too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is, though, that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coalmine-sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today. In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D., author of A Mind of Your Own, shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional, and physical pain away-that the best way out is through. She explodes the mistaken belief that our symptoms-from mood changes to irritability to fogginess and fatigue-are evidence that we are sick or broken. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well, and get free. The journey includes: • Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms, and whether you are a canary in the coal mine • Learning the 2 major risks of medication that most doctors are not trained to disclose • Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness • Starting the process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr. Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol • Taking an emotional inventory of energy drains and toxic relationships • Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine • Identifying the most likely places you have given your power away • Understanding what the science has to say about psychedelics as a tool for awakening • Navigating health challenges with curiosity and the proper tools • Guidance, support, and many Travel Tips shared from the trenches! Our experiences, Dr. Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge, and transform in order to truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing, and also something more: a journey of coming home to ourselves.
Book Synopsis Me, Myself, and Us by : Brian R Little
Download or read book Me, Myself, and Us written by Brian R Little and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does your personality shape your life and what, if anything, can you do about it? Are you hardwired for happiness, or born to brood? Do you think you're in charge of your future, or do you surf the waves of unknowable fate? Would you be happier, or just less socially adept, if you were less concerned about what other people thought of you? And what about your "Type A" spouse: is he or she destined to have a heart attack, or just drive you to drink? In the past few decades, new scientific research has transformed old ideas about the nature of human personality. Neuroscientists, biologists, and psychological scientists have reexamined the theories of Freud and Jung as well as the humanistic psychologies of the 1960s, upending the simplistic categorizations of personality "types," and developing new tools and methods for exploring who we are. Renowned professor and pioneering research psychologist Brian R. Little has been at the leading edge of this new science. In this wise and witty book he shares a wealth of new data and provocative insights about who we are, why we act the way we do, what we can -- and can't -- change, and how we can best thrive in light of our "nature." Me, Myself, and Us explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but are as commonplace as yesterday's breakfast conversation, such as whether our personality traits are "set" by age thirty or whether our brains and selves are more plastic. He considers what our personalities portend for our health and success, and the extent to which our well-being depends on the personal projects we pursue. Through stories, studies, personal experiences, and entertaining interactive assessments, Me, Myself, and Us provides a lively, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic look at the possibilities and perils of being uniquely ourselves, while illuminating the selves of the familiar strangers we encounter, work with, and love.
Book Synopsis Surrender to the Sheikh by : Lena Blake

Book excerpt: Surrender to the Sheikh When Kaled, a powerful CEO and notorious playboy, is forced to step into his brother's shoes as Sheikh of Rheadur, his life of freedom and indulgence is suddenly threatened. As the second in line to the throne, Kaled never wanted the crown—or the crushing responsibility of ruling an entire nation. But tradition demands that he marry, and Kaled refuses to be tied down in a loveless union. Instead, he concocts a bold plan: a marriage of convenience, where passion is allowed but love is off-limits. Adeela has spent her life under the iron grip of a patriarchal society, yearning for a taste of freedom. With dreams of reuniting with her American mother, Adeela is desperate for a way out. When the future Sheikh offers her an irresistible deal—one that could give her the independence she craves—she seizes the opportunity. But as the sparks between them ignite, Adeela finds it harder and harder to protect her heart from Kaled's raw and magnetic charm. He never wanted to be Sheikh, but now he must rule his people and surrender to the woman who captivates him in ways he never expected. In Surrender to the Sheikh, duty collides with desire, and a union born of necessity becomes a love story for the ages. Will Kaled and Adeela be able to resist the powerful pull between them, or will they surrender to the passion that threatens to consume them both?

I’m Helena and my high-powered lady-lawyer life has always been enough for me…until I found my one-night stand dead in my bed. Now, I’m suspected of murder, and the horns that have sprouted from my head have marked me as a supe, even though I'm not one. My career is in shambles and my reputation ruined—all because of a billionaire tech genius who wants the magical artifact that's landed in my lap—even though I never wanted it in the first place. The suppressants I've been taking have kept my horns hidden and my magical powers at bay, but the sexy time pills I took with my now deceased one-hit lover have messed with my system. And my abilities are surfacing. Not only are my powers unpredictable, but they cause me extreme physical pain. So does my attraction to Ford, the hot incubus professor. I can banter with him all day, but I won't allow things to go any further than a battle of wits. I don’t need anyone else, and I’m not going to succumb to his charms. Except he smells like gingerbread and makes me think all kinds of sexy thoughts. Then there's Crystal and Maddie, fellow wives of my ex-husband. I want to hate them, but they’re growing on me—practically insisting on a friendship. Now, I'm on a mission to prove myself a worthy protector of my artifact, hoping that the gods will bestow powers on me that I can use against the man who is determined to ruin my life, wreck Maddie's wedding, and make Crystal his next victim. My blood is up, my horns are hard, and I'll head butt anyone who tries to stop me. This is book 2 in the Powers of the Zodiac series.

A successful real estate developer who could have any man he desired, but only on his terms. Recreational love was all Michael wanted; no feelings required, just a good time for the night. He only gave his heart away once, and twenty years later, he is reunited with the love of his life. Determined to win Spencer back, he agreed to a simple fling. Could he still play by the rules of recreational love, or would he lose his heart instead? Spencer Talbot returned home to escape rumors and gossip after being abandoned at the altar by his philandering fiancé.

When his first love reappeared after decades apart, his world was turned upside down. The attraction between Spencer and Michael was overwhelming, but the timing couldn’t be worse.

Book Synopsis The Teacher's Body by : Diane P. Freedman
Download or read book The Teacher's Body written by Diane P. Freedman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These highly personal essays from a range of academic settings explore the palpable moments of discomfort, disempowerment, and/or enlightenment that emerge when we discard the fiction that the teacher has no body. Visible and/or invisible, the body can transform both the teacher's experience and classroom dynamics. When students think the teacher's body is clearly marked by ethnicity, race, disability, size, gender, sexuality, illness, age, pregnancy, class, linguistic and geographic origins, or some combination of these, both the mode and the content of education can change. Other, less visible aspects of a teacher's body, such as depression or a history of sexual assault, can have an equally powerful impact on how we teach and learn. The collection anatomizes these moments of embodied pedagogy as unexpected teaching opportunities and examines their apparent impact on teacher-student educational dynamics of power, authority, desire, friendship, open-mindedness, and resistance.
