Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping wilderness adventure and survival story It was getting colder. Johnny pulled the fur-lined hood of his parka over his head and walked towards his own cabin with the sound of snow crunching beneath his boots. "He should be back tomorrow," he thought, as a star raced across the sky just below the North Star. "He should be back tomorrow for sure." Seventeen-year-old Johnny Least-Weasel knows that his grandfather Albert is a stubborn old man and won't stop checking his own traplines even though other men his age stopped doing so years ago. But Albert Least-Weasel has been running traplines in the Alaskan wilderness alone for the past sixty years. Nothing has ever gone wrong on the trail he knows so well. When Albert doesn't come back from checking his traps, with the temperature steadily plummeting, Johnny must decide quickly whether to trust his grandfather or his own instincts. Written in alternating chapters that relate the parallel stories of Johnny and his grandfather, John Smelcer's The Trap poignantly addresses the hardships of life in the far north, suggesting that the most dangerous traps need not be made of steel.

Book Synopsis The Worry Trick by : David A. Carbonell
Download or read book The Worry Trick written by David A. Carbonell and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you truly in danger or has your brain simply "tricked" you into thinking you are? In The Worry Trick, psychologist and anxiety expert David Carbonell shows how anxiety hijacks the brain and offers effective techniques to help you break the cycle of worry, once and for all. Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question ourselves and our decisions, causes us to worry about the future, and fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. Based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this book is designed to help you break the cycle of worry. Worry convinces us there's danger, and then tricks us into getting into fight, flight, or freeze mode—even when there is no danger. The techniques in this book, rather than encouraging you to avoid or try to resist anxiety, shows you how to see the trick that underlies your anxious thoughts, and how avoidance can backfire and make anxiety worse. If you’re ready to start observing your anxious feelings with distance and clarity—rather than getting tricked once again—this book will show you how.

Download or read book Needing to Know for Sure written by Martin N. Seif and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful skills based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you break free from the fear of uncertainty and put a stop to compulsive checking and reassurance seeking. “How do I know I made the right decision?” “What if I’m wrong?” “I need to know for sure.” Do you have thoughts like these—thoughts that cause you to second-guess yourself, and lead to anxiety, stress, and worry? Do you find yourself repeatedly checking your email for no reason, asking others for their opinions about something again and again, or lying awake at night overanalyzing and planning ahead in an attempt to feel less anxious? If so, you probably have a problem with compulsive reassurance seeking. The good news is that you can break free from this “reassurance trap”—this book will show you how. In this unique guide, you’ll find proven-effective tips and tools using CBT to help you tolerate uncertainty, face specific worrying scenarios, and gradually reduce the compulsion to incessantly seek reassurance. Most importantly, you’ll learn to deal with those pesky “doubt attacks” and trust your own judgment. Asking for reassurance is a self-reinforcing behavior—if you do it, you’re less likely to handle stressful situations without needing further reassurance. And so the cycle continues. The CBT skills in this book will help you break this exhausting and painful pattern, so you can build self-confidence and improve your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices, this guide offers breakthrough insights and simple techniques for developing deep-seated, long-lasting confidence Too many of us miss out on opportunities in life because we lack self-confidence. Whether it’s public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don't feel equipped to handle the challenges we face. Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to “get over” our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it’s only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it. Drawing on the techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cutting-edge form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, The Confidence Gap explains how to: • Free yourself from common misconceptions about what confidence is and how to build it • Transform your relationship with fear and anxiety • Clarify your core values and use them as your inspiration and motivation • Use mindfulness to effectively handle negative thoughts and feelings. “This book could save you years of psychological struggle, yank you out of negative emotional patterns, and help propel you to a much happier, more productive life.” —Martha Beck, author and Oprah Winfrey’s life coach

Book excerpt: You find yourself facing a painful situation, but don't you have the emotional resources to overcome it? Expectations have been placed upon you, to fight against pain and difficult situations and conquer them. Unfortunately, you have fallen into a trap. Pain, anger, fear, sadness and shame are notoriously difficult emotions to manage as they have been forged by nature to protect us. It is natural for humans to suffer. However, suffering is not just about physical or psychological pain. People also suffer from emotional pain, doubts in self-worth, uncomfortable feelings, and painful memories. Because we dread or worry about suffering, we do everything we can to avoid such feelings. We constantly seek to minimize our suffering. Many of us give importance to improving our feelings, but a good life is a lot more than simply the absence of suffering, and we all want to live a good life and make the best of our short stay on this planet. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focusses on the problem of human suffering, but it also deals with much deeper matters. It addresses the understanding of human suffering as an important factor in realising a good life. This new form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) asks important questions such as "What is my real purpose in life?" YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVE SUFFERED ANY OF THE FOLLOWING IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS: - Anxiety, depression or anger. - Intense or uncontrollable emotional explosions. - Instability in interpersonal relationships and self-esteem. - Concerns about abandonment. - Feeling desperately misunderstood. - Feelings of helplessness and despair. - Self-harm and notions of suicide. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS BOOK: - You will learn to notice your thoughts, images or memories, recognising them for the products of the mind that they are, and not absolute realities. - You will learn to Look at your own experience from a privileged position, from above, decentralized, promoting the perception of your own emotional experience. - You will learn to give up control of your thoughts and let them go, give them space, sort through them and thus diminish the influence and the power that they wield. As you can see, it's a vicious cycle, and the longer this cycle continues, the more we become out of balance. We can do something about human suffering when we become aware of the cycle and learn how to respond differently to our pain. Stop living someone else's life now and learn to break the vicious cycle of suffering.
