Mind the Gap
Author: Graeme Codrington
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 0143529110
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
The way you parent, the clothes you buy, your relationships with your boss and your daughter, your attitude to money and sex, are, to an extraordinary extent, defined by the era into which you were born. Parents, the church, teachers and employers think they understand youngsters because they, too, were young once. But adults no longer live in the world that existed when they were teenagers. We may occupy the same space, home, classroom or office but we live in different worlds. And these worlds often collide. We've moved in one century from a 'built to last' to a 'throwaway' society. No wonder age differences are so vast. In this book you will discover your generation and those of the people who make up your life. Once you understand what makes them, and you, tick, the 'gen gap' begins to shrink. Fasten your seatbelt for a generational roller coaster ride - you may never think the same way again! In this book you'll understand why: your boss insists on endless meetings and conferences; your 20-something student doesn't want a 50-something computer teacher; you're in your 40s but still trying to prove yourself to Mom and Dad; your teacher should be learning from you.

Unwinding Anxiety
Author: Judson Brewer, MD, PhD
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593330447
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller A step-by-step plan clinically proven to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic or as personal as having kids at home and fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone. We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic. But it's also what drives the addictive behaviors and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media). Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought. So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome. Dr. Brewer teaches us to map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity, and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work. Distilling more than 20 years of research and hands-on work with thousands of patients, including Olympic athletes and coaches, and leaders in government and business, Dr. Brewer has created a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.

Know Your Own Mind
Author: Harold Sherman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780998255668
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
In this book, first published in 1953, Harold Sherman makes clear how we can attune our minds to the God Consciousness within through proper exercise of meditation, faith, prayer and intuition. By learning how to develop these faculties, we can help to rid ourselves of the loneliness and insecurity we feel. This makes us strong within, and with this new strength we can at last begin to know the joy of living a full life! * The book contains many highly interesting case histories of men and women who have had unusual, supernormal experiences. For those who are skeptical of the extrasensory powers of the mind, Harold Sherman gives many fascinating illustrations of his own adventures in the realm of mind. * He also reveals how to relax body and mind, how to picture in consciousness what is desired, how to cause the creative power within to bring this picture to pass in real life through right use of the power of prayer supported by faith. Five basic prayers are presented, designed to reach the God Consciousness and to place the individual in such attunement that he can attract anything to him. * The reader of this book will also find a technique of healing so clearly set forth that he will immediately begin using its methods in his own life. * From Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking: "I have just read your book, Know Your Own Mind. It is in the best tradition of the Harold Sherman books, and I find it enlightening, interesting, and helpful. You have a sound philosophy and understand of life and people." * From Ernest Holmes, founder of Science of Mind: "Know Your Own Mind is really a wonderful book. It very understandingly presents the high workings of the mind and the functioning of the intuition. I particularly like your idea that God speaks to man through the intuition. I can wholeheartedly well recommend Know Your Own Mind to all who are in search of self-development through coming better to understand its mental and spiritual truths. No one could study your book without deriving great benefit and self-advancement." -ERNEST HOLMES, founder of Science of Mind

We Know What You Want
Author: Martin Howard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781932857054
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
In this handbook for locating the hidden sales messages that bombard us everyday, Martin Howard explains the new techniques that corporations are using to make subconscious approaches without your consent. It covers the five major zones where consumers are being confronted: in the retail shopping context, at major events and concerts, through information media, personal friendships, and your computer. Up until recently, there was a social contract that alerted consumers to advertising messages. They were clearly labeled, endorsements were obvious and certain areas were off-limits. That contract has been broken, and many corporations are resorting to underhanded methods to persuade. Our shopping centers, stadiums, telephones, friendships and editorials are all “fair game.” Marketing messages have crossed into the social sphere. We Know What You Wantpoints out dozens of examples of how these signals are being relayed and gives you the tools and techniques to decode these messages and make your own decisions. Inspired by the popular bookCoercionby Douglas Rushkoff, this book presents key ideas and case examples in a practical, easy-to-follow, illustrated format. Rushkoff himself contributes the Introduction.We Know What You Wanthas Rushkoff’s full support; he calls it “an entertaining yet McLuhanesque ‘Medium is the Message,’ filled with engaging graphics and provocative but easy-to-follow guidelines for maintaining autonomy in a world made of marketing.” Martin Howardhas spent over 15 years in the marketing field with over 10 of them in advertising agencies. While witnessing the decline of the traditional advertising agency, he became interested in emerging forms of communication and stumbled upon the writings of Marshall McLuhan and others, who charted the profound but underestimated impact of electronic media. Now a strong advocate for media literacy, his interest is in making these theories accessible to average consumers and students. He lives in Brisbane, Australia.

How to Change Your Mind
Author: Michael Pollan
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735224153
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Now on Netflix as a 4-part documentary series! “Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York Times A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.
