Stop Trying: How to Receive--Not Achieve--Your Real Identity
by Cary SchmidtFrom looking outwardly to please others to looking inwardly to define ourselves, we constantly try to cultivate or construct our identities. But guided by the whims of culture or the faulty advice of tradition, we often find identity collapses when life falls apart or change threatens that fragile structure. Is it possible to discover an identity bolstered with unassailable confidence, strengthened for the challenges of life rather than destroyed by them, and free from the whims of cultural pressure? Yes! It is an identity received, not achieved—an identity established in the gospel. In Stop Trying, Cary Schmidt&’s storytelling creates compelling scenes in which you&’ll see yourself and your self. You&’ll understand why defining your identity outside of Jesus Christ is ultimately fragile, hollow, and unsatisfying. And you'll discover that your truest and most fulfilling identity is a byproduct of a relationship that changes everything.

Stop vermoeidheid: Hoe je je leven terugkrijgt
by Lisa GibsonHet chronisch vermoeidheidssyndroom (CVS) is een van de vaakst gediagnosticeerde "mysterieuze" aandoeningen. Meer dan een miljoen Amerikanen lijden aan het chronisch vermoeidheidssyndroom, en dat worden er alleen maar meer. Deze ziekte treft meer mensen dan multiple sclerose, lupus, en vele soorten kanker. CVS komt vier keer vaker voor bij vrouwen dan bij mannen. Waarom neemt CVS toe? Is het een soort epidemie of is CVS een vangnetdiagnose geworden voor alle aandoeningen waarbij je last hebt van vermoeidheid en pijn, maar de dokter niks kan vinden? Een syndroom is per definitie een rijtje symptomen die systematisch gelijktijdig optreden. In werkelijkheid is chronische vermoeidheid dus geen ziekte, maar een stel symptomen. Deze symptomen kunnen ernstig, levensbedreigend en invaliderend zijn. Dus de hamvraag is: wat veroorzaakt al deze symptomen? Dieet, ziektes, omgevingsfactoren, of alle bovenstaande? Helaas heeft de gezondheidszorg meer vragen dan antwoorden. Door deze onbeantwoorde vragen blijven mensen met CVS uitzichtloos achter, en moeten zij zich neerleggen bij het feit dat ze misschien hun hele leven last zullen blijven hebben van deze invaliderende symptomen. Maar je hoeft je leven hierdoor niet te laten bepalen. Er zijn zowel traditionele als niet-traditionele behandelingen die je kunnen helpen om erachter te komen wat de onderliggende oorzaken van je symptomen zijn en hoe je deze symptomen kunt verminderen. Wat is de oplossing De beste manier om CVS te overwinnen is om erachter te komen waardoor je symptomen écht veroorzaakt worden. Dus in dit boek laat ik je het volgende zien: - Dat virussen en infecties symptomen van CVS kunnen veroorzaken - Waarop je je kunt laten onderzoeken bij de dokter - Welke veranderingen in levensstijl je kunt toepassen om je symptomen te verminderen en je leven te verbeteren - Technologische vorderingen op het gebied van de behandeling van de onderliggende oorzaken van CVS - Medicijnen, supplementen en voedings

Stopping the Noise in Your Head: The New Way to Overcome Anxiety and Worry
by Dr. Reid WilsonIf you or someone you love suffers from excessive worry, anxiety, panic, OCD, or phobias, you know how crippling it can be. Of course, worry can be an important asset when it forces our attention on problem-solving. But anxious worrying can cause us to unnecessarily focus on a threat, to retreat and avoid, and to seek reassurance and safety—which is no way to foster a life of growth and excitement. In his fifth published book, Dr. Reid Wilson proposes a groundbreaking, paradoxical approach to overcoming anxiety, worry, OCD, panic, and phobias by moving away from comfort, confidence, and security and willingly moving toward uncertainty, distress and discomfort. Through the use of unconventional strategies, readers will learn how to confront anxiety head-on and step forward into the face of threat. Drawing on a range of sources—from firefighters and fitness instructors to Sir Isaac Newton and Muhammad Ali—Stopping the Noise in Your Head: The New Way to Overcome Anxiety and Worry demonstrates the importance of shifting our perspective and stepping toward our challenges in order to regain control of our lives.

Storied Companions
by Karen DerrisA professor, mother, and Buddhist practitioner helps readers discover new ways of facing and experiencing life, death, and impermanence.&“With my diagnosis of grade IV brain cancer, I no longer observe the truth of impermanence from a critical, analytical distance. I am crashing into it, or it into me.&” Facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, Karen Derris—professor, mother, and Buddhist practitioner—turned to books. By reading ancient Buddhist stories with new questions and a new purpose—finding a way to live with her dying body—she discovers new ways to make them immediate and real. For instance, reading with her terminal prognosis, she becomes one of the four omens (the four signs of impermanence and suffering) the young Siddhartha sees in his excursions from the palace. What would it mean for her to be in the crowd, straining to see the prince with her own sick and impermanent body—to be pushed aside and out of sight by the palace minders, just as our society so often tries to brush aside anything uncomfortable, but to nonetheless be seen by the young bodhisattva? Or reading as a mother, maybe she shares something akin to what Queen Maya may have felt, knowing she was dying, giving her newborn son over to her sister&’s care? What will it mean for her own children to be motherless? She follows the knotted threads connecting Milarepa&’s angry, vengeful mother to Karen&’s own mother, who physically abused her throughout a traumatic childhood. By placing herself into these stories, she turns them from distant and static narratives into companions, and from companions into guides. Storied Companions interweaves Karen&’s memoir of her life of trauma and illness with stories from Buddhist literary traditions, sharing with the reader how she found ways to live with the reality that she won&’t live as long as she wants and needs to. Honest, powerful, and insightful, Storied Companions itself becomes an invaluable companion, guiding the reader to discover new ways of facing and experiencing life, death, and impermanence.
