Amor vs. codependencia: Vive tus relaciones en plenitud
by Adriana Páramo Moguel"Lo que te ofrezco es darte las herramientas para que hagas consciente lo inconsciente, que sepas por qué te relacionas de una forma determinada, para qué estás con un tipo de personas en específico, cuáles son los resortes que te mueven a reaccionar como lo haces". ¿Te has preguntado dónde termina el amor y empieza la codependencia? Adriana Páramo analiza las razones de fondo que determinan la manera en que amamos. En gran medida, todo se remite a nuestra niñez. Lo que aprendimos en los primeros años impone cómo afrontamos la vida de adultos... pero nada está perdido, aún es posible amar de otra manera y acabar con las manías. Este libro va más allá del lugar común, porque todos sabemos que "primero debemos amarnos a nosotros mismos para amar a otros" pero pocos conocen cómo hacerlo. Desde un punto de vista psicológico y con enfoque emocional, la autora nos explica cómo transformar nuestras ideas sobre el amor romántico.

Lo cierto es que ni tenías mariposas en el estómago -quizá algunos bichos sí-, ni te rompen nada: sólo ocurre que tu cerebro responde a las emociones y a los hechos de formas diversas, un mágico coctel de oxitocina, adrenalina, dopamina, endorfinas, y demás cosa fina, arman tremenda fiesta en tu cabeza.

An Absorbing Errand: How Artists and Craftsmen Make Their Way to Mastery
by Janna Malamud SmithAn Absorbing Errand uses stories of artists' lives, personal anecdotes, and insights from the author's work as a psychotherapist to examine the psychological obstacles that prevent people from staying with, and relishing, the process of art-making. Each chapter is devoted to a problem intrinsic to the creative process and illustrates how these very obstacles, once understood, can become prime sources of the energy that actually fuels the mastery of art-making.Ultimately, An Absorbing Errand provides a philosophical, historical, and analytical look at the creative impulse and how certain artists from a wide field mastered their craft. From Julia Child to Charlie Chaplin, Lady Gaga to Michael Jackson, famous painters to established writers, Smith shows us how each overcame the obstacles they faced in the pursuit of their creative visions.Many people carry within their hearts an aching sense that they have something they want to express through art; or that they will not feel complete until they've brought out some hidden part of themselves. Yet they cannot begin to do the work of bringing their creative idea into the world. Or, maybe they've begun over and over, but they can't stay with their labor long enough to finish it. An Absorbing Errand is a supportive companion, an enlightened and compassionate ballast, a guide for anyone who has ever picked up a pencil to write, or a paint brush to paint, or any tool -from chisel to loom- to pursue any serious craft, and then put it down again frustrated, discouraged, and unable to continue.An Absorbing Errand is unlike any book about creating art of any kind, and aspiring and working artists alike will find it both original and invaluable.
An Address to All Believers in Christ: By A Witness To The Divine Authenticity Of The Book Of Mormon
by David WhitmerDavid Whitmer was selected by Joseph Smith to be one of only three special witnesses to the Book of Mormon. Because most of the book was produced in David’s own house, he was an eye-witness to the translation process itself, and to the early history the Latter Day Saint movement.Later in life, David compiled this Address to All Believers, honestly critiquing actions of Joseph Smith and the early church. The reflections and honesty of an older man bring us priceless information on Joseph Smith and the early history of his movement. But it must be noted that Whitmer maintained his testimony of the Book of Mormon to death. That fact alone commands attention to the information and insights he provides.-Print ed.

An Anti-Zionist Path to Embodied Jewish Healing: Somatic Practices to Heal Historical Wounds, Unlearn Oppression, and Create a Liberated World to Come
by Wendy Elisheva Somerson PhDUnapologetically anti-Zionist and firmly rooted in Jewish spiritual values—a liberatory model for Jewish healing Body-based tools and faith-based practices for processing trauma, reclaiming our agency, and building a world where "never again" means "never again for anyone""...an accessible pathway for healing from historical trauma, releasing it from our bodies, and preventing it from being passed on to future generations. This may well be the missing piece for breaking the pattern of violence undergirding Israeli apartheid and occupation.&”—Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World Dr. Wendy Elisheva Somerson, PhD, shows how Jewish history lives in Jewish bodies—and how antisemitism and oppression disrupt our access to safety, dignity, and belonging. This unmetabolized trauma can lock us into a survival state that brings historical grief into the present moment…and keep us from exploring critical questions that help us tend our legacies and live into a better world.How does ancestral grief live on in our bodies and keep us from feeling safe—and how is that fear enacted on other peoples?

An Arrow Through The Heart
by Deborah Dew HeffernanWhat if, like most women, you were overwhelmed by the struggle to balance work and family? So you did everything to be healthy and stress-free -- ate right, kept fit, never smoked, practiced yoga. And what if, out of the blue, your body betrayed you? Like most American women, Deborah Daw Heffernan worried about breast cancer, not heart disease, the nation's number-one killer of women. Yet on May 12, 1997, Deborah, a slim and health-conscious executive in her mid-forties, was stricken by a near-fatal heart attack in her weekly yoga class. There was no warning and no family history of heart disease. There was only the sudden explosion inside her chest. After emergency surgery and a harrowing string of complications, Deborah faced a long and uncertain recovery, overshadowed by the looming prospect of a heart transplant. An Arrow Through the Heart is her unflinching, soulful, and surprisingly funny chronicle of that first year -- which might easily have been her last. Anchored by the rugged landscape of Maine, by the fierce love of her husband, and by their two estranged families, who dropped everything to rally around her, she learned to do simple things all over again, one breath at a time. Ultimately, it was a year of healing both body and soul, of "finding meaning everywhere, like Easter eggs." This book is about how illness, oddly enough, can give life back to us. For the tens of thousands with cardiac disease, it will be a welcome companion on the road to recovery. For the rest of us, Deborah offers a powerful testament to the unexpected joy that can come from living in a state of impermanence.
An Arrow Through the Heart
by Deborah Daw HeffernanIn the words of Mehmet Oz, MD: "An Arrow Through the Heart is an epiphany for women who mistakenly believe that they are immune from the ravages of heart disease. Using her heart as a magnifying glass, Deborah Daw Heffernan provides readers with a window into their souls." This groundbreaking memoir was first mentioned on Oprah Winfrey's life-saving 2002 show announcing cardiovascular disease as a leading cause of death among young women. That tragic fact is still true. With both depth and humor, Deborah Daw Heffernan recounts her first year of recovery from the massive heart attack that ambushed her in a gentle yoga class--during the prime of her life and despite her impeccable health history. Ranging from high-stakes action in the OR at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to quietly unfolding seasons on a lake in Maine, An Arrow Through the Heart is a moving and informative story of what it takes to find one's own path to true healing. Ultimately, Heffernan combines allopathic and complementary medicine to create a sensible recovery strategy for our times. She touchingly describes her husband's devotion and the toll that her cardiovascular disease takes on him, as well as how he, too, grew from the experience. Weaving their story with the lives of family and friends, Heffernan demonstrates how illness can be transformative for all involved. Not only an empowering companion for cardiac patients, this medical classic is a guide to recovery from catastrophic change of any kind. Above all, it is a powerful testament to the unexpected joy that can come from leading a life of acknowledged impermanence. Updates include cardiovascular data for today's reader, links to the author's website and other resources, a new section on SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection), and-- spoiler alert--a heart transplant in 2006. All author's proceeds are donated to cardiac causes. Deborah Daw Heffernan is a graduate of Georgetown and Harvard Universities. She has worked as a teacher in Switzerland, an associate dean at Boston University, and a freelance writer. For fourteen years she was vice president of a leading Boston-based corporate training/consulting firm--until a near-fatal heart attack changed her life forever. She lives with her husband, Jack, on a small lake in Maine.
An Art of Spiritual Warfare
by Robert L. Moore Grant Schnarr"Grant Schnarr's words pour forth with an eloquence born of integrity. Here is truly a spiritual autobiography, written with the passion and experience of a man who knows the terrain of the spiritual battlefront, understands the tactics of the enemy, and wages Holy War-- that is, a war of love. He is an inspiring friend to all, rousing us to join the battle and share in the victory. And in the end, when the smoke and dust have cleared, we discover that, in a miraculous way, our lives have shifted from being self-centered to being spirit-centered."-- Ray Silverman, PhD, editor, Helen Keller's Light in My DarknessWarriors do not always wear armor. Sometimes they wear three-piece suits or denim. Nowadays, thousands of people search Sun Tzu's ancient war manual for business strategies. Grant Schnarr goes deeper, finding in the old general's savvy a wealth of wisdom about how to defeat our one true enemy---our own negativity. Here are brilliant tactics for enlisting our higher powers and outwitting our tendency toward self-destruction. Whether you fight addiction, depression, a debilitating fear, or a quick temper, Grant's penetrating insights impart courage. His unflinching honesty, often funny stories, and practical exercises can help anyone make peace at home, at work, and in the private depths of being.
