Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight
by Sharon HellerIn the publishing tradition of Driven to Distraction or The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing, this prescriptive book by a developmental psychologist and sufferer of Sensory Defensive Disorder (SD) sheds light on a little known but common affliction in which sufferers react to harmless stimuli as irritating, distracting or dangerous.We all know what it feels like to be irritated by loud music, accosted by lights that are too bright, or overwhelmed by a world that moves too quickly. But millions of people suffer from Sensory Defensive Disorder (SD), a common affliction in which people react to harmless stimuli not just as a distracting hindrance, but a potentially dangerous threat.Sharon Heller, Ph.D. is not only a trained psychologist, she is sensory defensive herself. Bringing both personal and professional perspectives, Dr. Heller is the ideal person to tell the world about this problem that will only increase as technology and processed environments take over our lives. In addition to heightening public awareness of this prevalent issue, Dr. Heller provides tools and therapies for alleviating and, in some cases, even eliminating defensiveness altogether.Until now, the treatment for sensory defensiveness has been successfully implemented in Learning Disabled children in whom defensiveness tends to be extreme. However, the disorder has generally been unidentified in adults who think they are either overstimulated, stressed, weird, or crazy. These sensory defensive sufferers live out their lives stressed and unhappy, never knowing why or what they can do about it. Now, with Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight, they have a compassionate spokesperson and a solution-oriented book of advice.
Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Co-dependency
by Terri ColeAre you the person everyone comes to when they're in a jam?Do you regularly accommodate others' needs and preferences?Does it feel like chaos will ensue if you don't handle the travel plans, divvy up the check at group dinners, sort out your friend's latest crisis, and so on?If these questions resonate, the odds are good that you are one of the overgiving, overextending individuals struggling with what psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole has termed high-functioning codependency (HFC).When you hear the word codependent, you might think of the traditional enabler framework involving a hapless victim and their selfless rescuer. Terri certainly did. But after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviors that fell outside of the classic model.The ironic truth with HFC is that the more capable you are the more codependency doesn't look like codependency.In Too Much, you'll discover how to identify your HFC blueprint (or why you relate to others the way you do), the source of the attraction between codependents and narcissists, and how to cultivate emotional resiliency, practice real self-care, and much more.Each chapter includes tips, self-assessments, and exercises to help you transform how you see yourself and the world, avoid relapses, and stay centered in your own experience so that you can relate to others in a healthier way."How you feel, what you think, what you want matters. In fact, those things need to matter to you the most," writes Terri. "By choosing the path of healing and recovery, you are coming home to yourself." Here is a book for making the shift "from too much to just right," so you can live a life that's full of authenticity, freedom, and joy.

Too Nice for Your Own Good: How to Stop Making 9 Self-Sabotaging Mistakes
by Duke RobinsonIf you're like most folks, you were raised to be "nice." Yet now you find yourself asking: "If I'm so nice, why isn't my life better?" Renowned minister and lecturer Duke Robinson has the answer. Robinson says that well-intended behavior is essential to a humane society, but carries a down side. Being nice often means we take on too much, tell little lies, strive endlessly for perfection, and fall prey to other self-defeating behaviors. Now Robinson outlines the nine unconscious mistakes nice people make daily, and he shows how to correct them and avoid unnecessary stress with life-affirming actions. Learn how to: <P>Say "no" and save yourself from burnout<P>Tell others what you want, and actually receive it<P>Express anger in healing ways that maintain valued relationships<P>Respond effectively when irrationally criticized or attacked<P>Liberate your true self.<P>Are you, like many of us, too nice for your own good? This remarkable book will empower you to get what you need and deserve out oflife... and still be a nice person!<P>"I hope many people will find and read this book, and benefit from Duke Robinson's honesty, eloquence, and
Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control
by Allan E. Mallinger Jeannette De Wyze[From The Front Flap.] The rewards of perfectionism are obvious: success, financial security, the respect of friends and colleagues. But, inevitably, perfection comes at a price- too often, the loss of intimacy, emotional authenticity, and self-esteem. The tendency toward perfectionism and a host of related behaviors are hallmarks of the obsessive, a personality style that contributes to an outward appearance of poise, confidence, and strength but inwardly can cause anguish, suffering, and turmoil. The result of more than ten years of clinical research and observations from Dr. Allan Mallinger's private practice, Too Perfect helps identify the destructive patterns obsessives can unwittingly fall into, as well as the enormous emotional toll such behavior exacts on the obsessive and on friends and loved ones. From the compulsive worrier to the endlessly orderly "neat freak" and the driven workaholic, Dr. Mallinger shows how a disproportionate need for control-and an overwhelming fear of the uncertainty that exists in uncontrolled situations-can lead obsessives to adopt paralyzingly rigid roles almost like armor against life's uncertainties. But in ruling out the unexpected, these protective roles too often end up depriving the obsessive of emotional closeness, leisure time, an overall feeling of well-being-the very things the obsessive strives to ensure by virtue of his or her "flawless" performance in life. Fortunately, assures Dr. Mallinger, change is possible for even the most stubbornly resistant obsessive. Through both extensive case histories and specific suggestions for behavior modification, Too Perfect illustrates the road to change and offers hope to people who have sacrificed their right to happiness to their need to be right-and those who love them.
Too Safe for Their Own Good: How Risk and Responsibility Help Teens Thrive
by Michael UngarCanadian children are safer now than at any other time in history. So why are we so fearful for them? When they're young, we drive them to playdates, fill up their time with organized activity, and cocoon them from every imaginable peril. We think we are doing what's best for them. But as they grow into young adults and we continue to manage their lives, running interference with teachers and coaches, we are, in fact, unwittingly stunting them. Internationally respected social worker and family therapist Michael Ungar tells us why our mania to keep our kids safe is causing us to do the opposite: put them in harm's way. By continuing to protect them from failure and disappointment, many of our kids are missing out on the "risk-taker's advantage," the benefits that come from experiencing manageable amounts of danger. In Too Safe for Their Own Good, Ungar inspires parents to recall their own childhoods and the lessons they learned from being risk-takers and responsibility-seekers, much to the annoyance of their own parents. He offers the support parents need in setting appropriate limits and provides concrete suggestions for allowing children the opportunity to experience the rites of passage that will help them become competent, happy, thriving adults.In many communities, we are failing miserably doing much more than keeping our children vacuum-safe. They are not getting the experiences they need to grow up well. An entire generation of children from middle class homes, in downtown row houses, apartment blocks, and copycat suburbs, whose good fortune it is to have sidewalks and neighbourhood watch programs, crossing guards, and playground monitors, are not being provided with the opportunities they need to learn how to navigate their way through life's challenges. We don't intend any harm. Quite the contrary. In our mania to provide emotional life jackets around our kids, helmets and seatbelts, approved playground equipment, after-school supervision, an endless stream of evening programming, and no place to hang out but the tiled flooring of our local mall, we parents are accidentally creating a generation of youth who are not ready for life. Our children are too safe for their own good.

Too Tired to Fight: 13 Essential Conflicts Parents Must Have to Keep Their Relationship Strong
by Stephen Mitchell Erin MitchellHow couples with kids can transform 13 common relationship fights into closer connection, from popular Instagram counselors Erin and Stephen Mitchell (@couples.counseling.for.parents).Parenting changes a couple&’s relationship in fundamental ways, but most parents are too exhausted from the demands of life, work, and engaging their kids to prioritize their relationship. This can lead to repeated conflict and an overwhelming sense of anxiety, anger, hurt, and loneliness…just when you need your partner&’s support the most. The good news: conflict is actually a sign that you are trying to connect with your partner—you&’re just stuck in an old pattern of communication.In Too Tired to Fight, Erin and Stephen Mitchell use their 20-plus years of counseling experience to walk couples through the 13 conflicts that are not just normal but necessary to keep a partnership strong once kids enter the picture, including: The &“Your Parenting Is Wrong&” ConflictThe &“I&’m More Tired Than You&” Conflict The &“Stop Choosing Your Family Over Ours&” Conflict The &“Sex Life? What Sex Life?&” Conflict In each scenario, they show how this conflict plays out—and offer scripts, questions for reflection, and their tried-and-true Conflict to Connection Equation that couples can use in the moment to communicate true repair and resolution. Their secret: by expressing your feelings and intentionally listening to your partner—not just venting or reacting to your stress-response system—you can work through the &“pain points&” of parenthood together and actually make your relationship happier and healthier as a result.
A Tool for Determining e-Learning Readiness (SpringerBriefs in Educational Communications and Technology)
by Cathy James-Springer Katherine CennamoThis book presents a tool to determine e-learning readiness in workplace organizations.

The book concludes with a look at practical ways of using the information gathered from the data produced.
The Tool Instinct
by François OsiurakHumans use countless tools and are constantly creating new ones. We are so prone to materiality that the changes we implement in our environment could put our very survival at stake. It has therefore become necessary to question the cognitive origins of this materiality. The Tool Instinct examines this subject by diametrically setting aside the idea that tool use is limited to manual activity. It proposes an original perspective that surpasses a great number of false beliefs regarding the relationship between humans and tools. The author argues that the human tendency to create and use tools relies on our ability (one that may be unique to our species) to generate our own physical problems, thereby resulting in a reasoning that is directed towards our physical world.
Toolbox Resilienz: Skills für den Umgang mit kritischen Situationen beim Lernen und im Klinikalltag (essentials)
by Martina Kahl-ScholzResilienz ist mittlerweile als Schlagwort überall da zu hören, wo Menschen sich Herausforderungen gegenübersehen – egal, ob das für den privaten oder beruflichen Bereich, für einzelne Personen, Teams oder ganze Unternehmen gilt. Resilienz ist aber kein Allheilmittel, das man sich im Vorbeigehen aneignen und dann jederzeit anwenden kann. Vielmehr beschreibt Resilienz eine innere Haltung, die sich allgemeinhin aus mehreren Bausteinen zusammensetzt – genau das gilt für die ureigene Widerstandskraft, um die es in diesem essential gehen soll, auch.Aus eigener Erfahrung beschreibt die Autorin, welche Herausforderungen das Medizinstudium und der spätere klinische Alltag bereithalten können – und dass man zwar theoretisch darauf vorbereitet sein kann, die praktische Erfahrung aber doch die Vorstellung davon meistens um Längen schlägt. Dieses essential soll eine kleine Hilfestellung bieten, um durch das Näherrücken an das Thema „Resilienz&“ einige Skills zu vermitteln, die das Lernen erleichtern und auch den Umgang mit kritischen Situationen im Klinikalltag einfacher machen. Damit hilft man als angehender Arzt/angehende Ärztin nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch den Patienten, die man behandelt.
