Overcoming Worry and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, 2nd Edition: A self-help guide using cognitive behavioural techniques (Overcoming Books)
by Mark Freeston Kevin MearesOvercoming app now available via iTunes and the Google Play Store.Up to 44 in every 1000 adults suffer from a condition known as Generalised Anxiety Disorder. This is much more than the normal worrying we all do - it can be a debilitating disorder leading to significant personal and social problems and sometimes financial loss. Using established and proven CBT techniques, expert clinicians Kevin Meares and Mark Freeston help readers to understand that it is their propensity to worry, not the multitude of problems they worry about, that is the root of the problem. The user-friendly, step-by-step approach explains why they worry, how to recognise what feeds it and develop effective methods of dealing with it. With each step the authors introduce new ideas that add to the picture of worry, and use questionnaires, exercises and tasks to help the reader understand and then challenge unhelpful habits and beliefs.
Overcoming Your Alcohol, Drug & Recovery Habits
by James Desena Joseph GersteinRecognizing that an addiction to 12-step programs can be just as dangerous as an addiction to alcohol or drugs, this book provides techniques to counter the self-defeating beliefs that lead to addiction. It enables those who have gone through Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and formal 12-step addiction treatments to overcome the self-destructive beliefs and attitudes that these programs promote. These include the idea that addicts and alcoholics are powerless, the belief that addiction is an incurable disease, the assertion that people who slip inevitably lose control, and the notion that those who reject the 12-step approach are doomed. Devoted to helping individuals indoctrinated in 12-step dogma recognize their destructiveness, this book provides effective psychological techniques to vanquish negative thinking and help individuals regain control of their lives.

Overflow: How the Joy of the Trinity Inspires our Mission
by Michael ReevesWhat does the Trinity have to do with missions? As it turns out . . . everything.Too often, we put theology in one part of the Christian life and missions in another—and they never meet.

But is that really the way it should be?Michael Reeves wants you to understand that the doctrine of the Trinity has everything to do with the practice of missions. When a Christian sees the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as divine persons who are so full of love that it radiates and overflows into creation—and into the lives of human beings—our perspective on missions is radically changed. No longer is missions an obligation or a drudgery. Instead, realizing the abundance of love that goes forth from God, we who have received and delighted in such love are motivated to go forth as well.Let the radiance of God&’s triune beauty capture your heart. Then God&’s great mission won&’t be a chore, but will naturally overflow from your joyous delight in Him.

Override: Discover Your Brain Type, Why You Do What You Do, and How to Do it Better
by Connell Cowan PhD David Kipper MDBased on today&’s breakthrough science into neurotransmitters, Override reveals a clear path to overcoming bad habits that sabotage our success in career, love, and healthy living. Why, when we all want to live healthy and vital lives, do we so often botch it up? Why do we make decisions that negatively impact our work, relationships, and lifestyles? Why do our brains always seem to get in the way of our goals? The answer lies in our brain chemistry. Virtually all of us suffer from an imbalance in either serotonin or dopamine—neurotransmitters that send signals through our nervous system. Shields, deficient in serotonin, unconsciously seek to avoid the discomfort or an over-stimulated nervous system, while Swords, deficient in dopamine, tend to feel under-stimulated and look for ways to create sensation. The coping styles we revert to under stress, depending on our type, have evolved to help us survive. But they are also the root cause of our most destructive and stubborn behaviors, from risk aversion to gambling. The good news is that these behaviors can be modified. In this illuminating book, readers will first identify their personal neurotype through an easy and accurate test. Then, through focused strategies, they&’ll learn how to understand their vulnerabilities and break out of self-defeating patterns to make meaningful change. Combining groundbreaking research with inspiring real-life stories of struggle and transformation, Override provides a practical, easy-to-grasp, yet revolutionary framework for achieving the life you really want.

Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time
by Brigid SchulteAccording to the Leisure Studies Department at the University of Iowa, true leisure is “that place in which we realize our humanity.” If that’s true, argues Brigid Schulte, then we're doing dangerously little realizing of our humanity. In Overwhelmed, Schulte, a staff writer for The Washington Post, asks: Are our brains, our partners, our culture, and our bosses making it impossible for us to experience anything but “contaminated time”?<P> Schulte first asked this question in a 2010 feature for The Washington Post Magazine: “How did researchers compile this statistic that said we were rolling in leisure—over four hours a day? Did any of us feel that we actually had downtime? Was there anything useful in their research—anything we could do?”<P> Overwhelmed is a map of the stresses that have ripped our leisure to shreds, and a look at how to put the pieces back together. Schulte speaks to neuroscientists, sociologists, and hundreds of working parents to tease out the factors contributing to our collective sense of being overwhelmed, seeking insights, answers, and inspiration. She investigates progressive offices trying to invent a new kind of workplace; she travels across Europe to get a sense of how other countries accommodate working parents; she finds younger couples who claim to have figured out an ideal division of chores, childcare, and meaningful paid work. Overwhelmed is the story of what she found out.
