Overcoming Gambling: A Guide For Problem And Compulsive Gamblers
by philip mawerProblem gambling is a significant issue in the UK where the number of gambling addicts is estimated to be around 250,000, according to the Gambling Commission's British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2007. It affects a wide range of people from teenagers and students to housewives and retired people, with increasing numbers of people gambling online. Numbers can easily be doubled considering that for each compulsive gambler there is at least one concerned "significant other". Numbers are rising annually, particularly in the UK, due to the softening of gambling advertising laws, an increase in casinos, and the popularity of internet gambling. In the USA, many industry insiders predict a return to internet gambling (stopped in 06 by banning deposits to internet casinos). The recession may also make some people more willing to take risks with their finances. This book analyses how and why people - from those with high incomes to the ordinary housewife or struggling student - gamble compulsively, and looks at how to stop.

The Pain Chronicles: Cures, Myths, Mysteries, Prayers, Diaries, Brain Scans, Healing, and the Science of Suffering
by Melanie ThernstromEach of us will know physical pain in our lives, but none of us knows when it will come or how long it will stay. Today as much as 10 percent of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain. It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas that prevent proper treatment, to devastating effect. In The Pain Chronicles, a singular and deeply humane work, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages---from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging---to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading-edge pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a wide range of disciplines: science, history, religion, philosophy, anthropology, literature, and art. Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear. Both a personal meditation and an intellectual exploration,The Pain Chronicles illuminates and makes sense of the all-too-human experience of pain and confronts with extraordinary grace and empathy its peculiar traits, its harrowing effects, and its various antidotes.

As each successive generation moves farther away from nature, the growing disconnect is expressed through physical as well as mental stress, from depression and fatigue in adults to attention disorders and obesity in children.

Through observation and conscious practice, we can open up to the power of nature to transform our lives, uplift our spirits, and even to direct our bodies to a healthier potential. For everyone who has a sense of something missing, who wishes to make a difference in their world, who yearns to reclaim their sense of wonder and awe, or who struggles with their health or emotional balance--nature speaks to all who will listen.

The Path of Remembering
by Maureen KennedyOn a sultry August night more than twenty years ago, Maureen Kennedy was awakened by spiritual guides who directed her, a little humorously, to take dictation. This was the beginning of a more than twenty year odyssey during which she has been tutored about life as a journey on the path of remembering. These guides, whom she calls the Committee, assert that life's learning is a process of releasing fear so that we may remember who we are--beloved beings of Spirit, held in a web of eternal safety. The committee declares that the triumph of love over fear is the quintessential human lesson. Our assignment is to make love believable in the world through us. After 9/11, the Committee explores the illusion of evil as fear that judges harshly. They comfort the mother of a young equities trader who sacrificed his life by rescuing strangers at the World Trade Center. They guide their scribe through the emotional and physical challenges of dealing with illness. The Committee speaks about the evolving consciousness of our species, as we turn from limitation and struggle to creativity and joy. They remind us that our purpose is to become who we are so clearly that we shine in the world. From these teachings come the tools to claim our power, and the courage to live and love with an open heart.
Patience

Stories offer quiet interludes throughout this little book. Anecdotes about animals, sports stars, and happy family outings make these short, varied readings as entertaining as they are instructive. Gentle reminiscences of India, tales from Easwaran's Hindu heritage, and inspiration from the world's saints lift the reader's spirits and give courage. Just keep trying, Easwaran says, and you'll find there's no end to your patience - no end to the wisdom, love, and compassion in your heart. This book makes a thoughtful gift for anyone seeking a life that is kinder, more stable, and serene.
