Wesley BoydAlmost Addicted will help you assess your or your loved one's drug use and evaluate its impact on relationships, work, and personal well-being.Do you think your pot smoking is hindering your relationships? Does it feel as if you're just a tad too dependent on the pills your doctor prescribed for pain? Almost Addicted will help you assess your or your loved one's drug use and evaluate its impact on relationships, work, and personal well-being.Most people who abuse illegal drugs don't fit the image of the dysfunctional, hustling addict who can't fit into normal society. Between the estimated 10 percent of the population who are true addicts and those who don't use drugs at all falls a group of regular drug users who oftentimes don't realize how much their use is affecting their daily lives.According to J. Wesley Boyd, MD, of Harvard Medical School, and Eric Metcalf, MPH, these people are almost addicted. Whether their drug of choice is legal or illegal, an upper or a hallucinogen, an almost addicts' drug use is negatively impacting their quality of life--but falls short of meeting the diagnostic criteria for substance abuse or dependence.For the first time, Boyd and Metcalf describe what it is to be almost addicted and provide almost addicts and their loved ones with the knowledge and guidance to address and evaluate their condition. In this book, readers will find the tools toidentify and assess their patterns of drug use;evaluate its impact on relationships, work, and personal well-being;develop strategies and goals for abstaining from or cutting back on drugs;measure the results of applying these strategies; andmake informed decisions about next steps, including getting professional help if needed.

Alone Time
by Sybil GeldartBeing alone gives you the chance to think about yourself and your needs and goals without undue pressure, distractions or interference.The importance of personal space in a changing world. In Alone Time, clinical psychologist and professor of psychology Sybil Geldart, PhD draws on personal anecdotes, case studies, and research to help you live well despite an ever-changing world. Taking time on your own allows you to take a slower, more deliberate pace and explore inner strengths, set goals and overcome problems. Practicing solitude is an age-old part of Eastern traditions of health and well-being, and ensuring some personal space and time alone – when self-initiated – will help you live a more fulfilled life. In Alone Time, Dr. Geldart shows how solitude allows us time for self-reflection, to gain self-knowledge, and to seek a better understanding of others. Perfect for all life stages, from school-leavers and young professionals on, Alone Time includes tips, advice and exercises to help boost mental health and attain that elusive work–life balance. Dr. Geldart also shows how voluntary distancing has numerous benefits in life – from work and study to overcoming stress and anxiety, and, most of all, in being emotionally healthy and inspired to work towards a healthy and happy future.

Alpha Docs
by Daniel Muñoz James M. DaleIn the tradition of Scott Turow's One L and Atul Gawande's Better comes a real-time, real-life chronicle from an impassioned young doctor on the front lines of high-stakes cardiology. It takes drive, persistence, and plenty of stamina to practice cardiology at the highest level. The competition for training fellowship spots is intense. Hundreds of applicants from all over the world compete to be accepted into the Cardiovascular Disease Training Fellowship at Johns Hopkins. Only nine are chosen each year. This is the story of one of those fellows. In Alpha Docs, Daniel Muñoz, M.D., recounts his transformation from wide-eyed young medical student to caring, empathetic professional--providing a rare inside look into the day-to-day operations of one of the world's most prestigious medical institutions. The training is arduous and often unforgiving, as Muñoz and his colleagues are schooled by a staff of brilliant and demanding physicians. How they learn the art and science of untangling cardiac mysteries, how they live up to the standards of an iconic institution, how they survive the pressures and relentlessly push themselves to reach the top ranks of American medicine, supplies the beating heart of this gripping narrative. Readers accompany Muñoz as he interacts with his mentors, diagnoses and treats patients, counsels worried family members, and struggles to stay awake for days and nights on end. Lives are saved--and sometimes lost. But the rewards are immediate and the incentives powerful. As Muñoz confides after helping to rescue one man from the throes of a heart attack: "I knew where I wanted to be: not watching but doing, on the side of the glass where I can help shape a patient's fate. I would be a cardiologist." A unique yet universal story about striving to be the best in a high-risk, high-impact field, Alpha Docs provides fresh perspective on the state of America's healthcare system as it captures all the fulfillment and frustrations of life as a doctor in the twenty-first century.From the Hardcover edition.

by James Villepigue Rick CollinsMen are losing their masculinity. Guys are urged to get in touch with their "feminine" side at the expense of the traditional attributes that make men "male." Not only has "manliness" become a dirty word in a society of beta males and couch potatoes, but there's actually less and less of it in the blood of too many American men, with studies showing declines in average testoterone levels over the past 20 years. Today's men need a major adjustment of alpha attitude, and "Alpha Male Challenge" is the 10-week plan for reclaiming the masculine, competitive edge guys need to be on top of their game in every aspect of their lives.

The Alpha Solution for Permanent Weight Loss: Harness the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Change Your Relationship with Food--Forever
by Ronald J. GlassmanFor the last twenty-five years, Dr. Ronald J. Glassman has helped thousands of his patients lose weight--from five pounds to 150 pounds--and keep it off. And he knows that the answer to overeating is not another diet or exercise regimen. The answer is to harness the power of your mind. The Alpha Solution presents his phenomenally successful scientific approach to easy, permanent weight loss--and proves that you literally can think yourself thin. For many of us, the result of years of poor eating, or eating for psychological and social reasons rather than nutritional ones, means that, subconsciously, we have been conditioned to eat the wrong foods in the wrong quantities. Despite our desire to be lean, strong, and healthy, we're still subconsciously programmed to overeat, crave certain foods, and snack unnecessarily. This is why diets don't work: Even if we know we should choose salad over pizza, our subconscious mind--ingrained with years of negative eating habits--undermines our efforts at every turn. The solution? Give your brain a new food blueprint by tapping into its "Alpha" state--the state right before you fall asleep in which your subconscious mind is open to suggestion and change. Through a series of simple questionnaires, Dr. Glassman guides you through the process of identifying the food issues you need to overcome and creating two personalized scripts tailored to your specific weight loss needs. You will then record the scripts on a tape or CD and listen to the recordings each night as you fall asleep. The changes are immediate and dramatic-- you will begin reaching for healthy foods, keeping proper portion sizes, and turning down the fattening, sugary foods you used to crave. Within days, your eating habits will be transformed and you will begin melting away the pounds--seemingly without effort! Filled with success stories, The Alpha Solution is already changing the lives of people everywhere. Losing weight has never been this easy-- and you will never have to "diet" again. What could be better than that? No counting calories No carb restriction No complex menus No special workouts Finally, a medically proven way to change your relationship with food forever- no diet or exercise required! This revolutionary book reveals how to literally think yourself thin: by simply and easily training your brain to automatically crave healthy foods in the proper portions. Whether you want to lose ten pounds or fifty, The Alpha Solution will quickly make diet struggles a thing of the past--and keep you fit and thin for life!
An Alphabet for Joanna: A Portrait of My Mother in 26 Fragments
by Damian RogersA gripping memoir from acclaimed poet Damian Rogers about being raised by a loving but erratic single mother who is today diagnosed with a rare form of frontal-lobe dementia. In the vein of Plum Johnson's They Left Us Everything, Leanne Shapton's Swimming Studies, Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle and Susannah Cahalan's Brain on Fire."Evocative, beautifully written, heartbreaking . . . of special interest to all whose loved ones suffer from dementia." --Margaret Atwood (on Twitter)"An Alphabet for Joanna is a braid of tiny stories that weaves us into a nest of belonging despite circumstance and injury . . . A memoir of stunning thoughtfulness, Rogers presents us with a loving treatise on what it means to be human." - Leanne Betasamosake SimpsonThroughout her childhood in Detroit, Damian Rogers was never given a satisfactory account of the circumstances that led to her own birth. The "truth" behind the stories she was told by her mother--the free-spirited, beautiful and troubled Joanna--constantly shifted, and Damian was left only with fragments: her mom's trip to California in 1969 after finishing high school, a mysterious trauma and psychotic break, then a return to Detroit, pregnant. Now, as 40-something Damian struggles to cope with Joanna's early-onset dementia, she realizes she may never know the full story.A riveting portrait of a time and place (the leafy suburbs of Detroit, Michigan and working class neighborhoods of Long Beach, California in the 1970s and 80s), An Alphabet for Joanna is also an unconventional mother-daughter saga, and a creative exploration of how memory shifts and shapes our most intimate relationships. Acclaimed poet Damian Rogers crafts a unique work that is both a moving memoir and a powerful philosophical reflection on how we build lives out of fragments of stories. And by tracing her mother's story into the present day she poignantly shows that even when memory fails, we can remain connected through a web of art, empathy, imagination and love.
Alphabets and the Mystery Traditions: The Origins of Letters in the Earth, the Underworld, and the Heavens
by Judith DillonReveals the esoteric mysteries encoded in the order of the alphabet• Explores the secrets hidden in our alphabet and how each letter represented a specific stage on the alchemical path toward enlightenment• Divides our alphabet&’s sequence of letters into three distinct parts: the first representing Earth and the natural year, the second the Underworld and the hero&’s journey, and the third the Heavens and astronomical cycles• Reveals how the ancient secrets encoded in the numerical order of the alphabet can be found in Mystery Traditions and divination systems throughout the worldOur alphabet hides a Mystery older than its magic of turning sound into shapes. Secrets lie in the choice of objects chosen to represent early alphabet letters and their order, a pattern inherited by numerous traditions, an alchemical spell to return the sun from the dark and guide the soul toward enlightenment.Revealing the spell hidden in our alphabet, Judith Dillon explores the importance of the placement of each letter in early alphabets and how each letter represented a specific step on the alchemical path of self-transformation. She investigates the alphabet&’s spread around the world, beginning in Egypt and then spreading through Hebrew, Greek, and other ancient systems of writing and divination. These include Germanic Runes, Celtic Oghams, Tarot cards, the I Ching, and the wisdom of Mother Goose. Comparing the mythic attributes of many traditions, the author reveals the commonality of a numerical placement of symbols and how the hidden message was adapted by multiple peoples using objects and shapes from their own traditions.Examining the esoteric wisdom encoded in the alphabet, Dillon divides the numerical sequence of letters into three distinct parts. The first family of letters represents the Earth and describes the cycle of the natural year. The second family represents the Underworld and symbolizes the hero&’s journey through judgments and death into the light of day. The third represents the Heavens and its astronomical cycles. Together, our alphabet symbols are a spell of alchemical stages on a path toward the light. Hidden in plain sight, our alphabet represents a transmission of ancient wisdom, the great alchemical Mystery of transforming dark earth into shining gold, of releasing the soul from the bonds of matter into the gold of enlightenment.

A Alquimia das Ervas: Um Guia para Iniciantes - Conhecendo, cultivando e aplicando ervas medicinais.
by Rodrigo Brandani Adidas WilsonAo selecionar ervas que consigam se desenvolver excepcionalmente bem, seja em ambientes abertos ou fechados, seja em vasos ou no solo, você deverá ter em mente o que você deseja obter de seu cultivo de ervas e vegetais. Se o espaço destinado ao seu cultivo recebe menos do que cinco horas diárias de luz solar talvez seja melhor plantar suas ervas em um ambiente fechado, e para agua-las e para colhê-las quando for cozinhar usando elas. Aliás, plantar em um ambiente fechado ainda lhe ajudará a ficar livre de ervas daninhas, pragas e variações de temperatura. Sementes são baratas, porém, demoram muito tempo para crescer demandam muitos recursos para fazê-lo. Por outro lado, existem as mudas, que crescem mais rapidamente, porém, geralmente encontram-se disponíveis somente na primavera e no verão. Muitas ferramentas são necessárias para se fazer o trabalho na sua plantação, dentre elas temos: pás, enxadas, luvas, vasos, enfim, tudo o que for necessário para fazer o serviço. Lembre-se de que solo fértil também é um elemento importante, pode-se prepara-lo naturalmente ou compra-lo pronto em lojas especializadas. Caso opte por fazer seu cultivo em um espaço fechado utilizando vasos você pode comprar misturas de adubos prontos, feitos especialmente para este tipo de cultivo, assim não terá problemas para plantar suas ervas, e, além de facilitar seu trabalho, estes adubos prontos também previnem que pragas destruam suas plantas.

Si el espacio recibe menos de cinco horas de luz solar al día, es mejor optar por la casa para un acceso más fácil, especialmente para regar y cocinar. Además, esto ayuda a prevenir malezas, plagas o temperaturas fluctuantes. Las semillas son bastante económicas, pero toman más tiempo y requieren más recursos para crecer. Mientras que, por otro lado, las plantas de semillero son de cultivo más rápido, pero solo están disponibles en primavera y verano. Varias herramientas de jardinería son esenciales, puede ser una pala, guantes, ollas, recipientes, prácticamente todo lo que necesita para el trabajo. Y recuerde, algunos suelos fertilizados también son importantes, esto puede generarse naturalmente, o con una solución de compost de uso general de una tienda de jardinería. Para jardinería en contenedores, una mezcla de tierra para macetas empaquetada puede ser de gran ayuda, ya que casi no tendrá que preocuparse por las plagas. Tabla de contenidos Introducción 1.

Alquimia emocional
by Tara Bennett-GolemanEl libro que te enseña a hacer alquimia con la mente para sanar el corazón. Prólogo del Dalai Lama. Los alquimistas convertían el plomo en oro. Y Bennett-Goleman nos recuerda que, igual que ellos, todos podemos transformar los momentos de confusión o dolor emocional en instantes de claridad. Este mítico best seller explora nuestra mente y nos enseña que todo lo que nos preocupa cabe en diez patrones emocionales básicos (incluidos el miedo al abandono, la exclusión social y la vulnerabilidad). Pero también nos muestra cómo liberarnos de ellos y reemplazarlos con empatía gracias a la práctica del mindfulness, la alquimia emocional que puede cambiar la estructura de nuestra mente a través de la aplicación consciente en el terreno de las emociones. Solo así lograremos, como señala el Dalai Lama en el prólogo, orientar nuestra vida interior hacia la verdadera felicidad. La críticaha dicho:«Que este libro tan importante encuentre su camino en los corazones de los lectores para que pueda realizar su misteriosa y curativa alquimia en beneficio de todos.»John Kabat-Zinn

Als Gleicher unter Verschiedenen?: Diskriminierung evolutionspsychologisch
by Lydia LangeWarum fallen Menschen in alte, zerstörerische Verhaltensmuster zurück? Wegen schlechten Charakters oder einer schlimmen Kindheit? Wenn wir die evolutionär geformte Natur des Menschen berücksichtigen, erkennen wir Möglichkeiten zur Kooperation und zu regelhaft gestalteter Konkurrenz.Soziale Diskriminierung als Begleiterscheinung der kulturellen Evolution kann kooperatives Verhalten untergraben. Konkurrenz als unverzichtbarer Bestandteil für den Prozess der Evolution muss dem gegenüber nicht notwendig in Feindschaft und Aggression münden, sondern kann menschengemachten Regeln folgen. Dieses Buch versucht zu zeigen, Ansatzpunkte in der frühen Phylogenese zu suchen und nicht zu große Hoffnungen auf unsere neuesten kultur-evolutionären Errungenschaften (gesinnungsethische Empfehlungen, Antidiskriminierungsgesetze, Änderung sprachlicher Symbole) zu setzen. Wenn die evolutionär geformte Natur des Menschen berücksichtigt wird, erkennen wir Möglichkeiten zur Kooperation und zu regelhaft gestalteter Konkurrenz. Dies wiederum kann helfen, dass evolutionspsychologische Erkenntnisse zur Vermeidung oder Verminderung sozialer Diskriminierung beitragen können.
