For the first time in her life, Dr. Beth-Anne Blue is turning her musings inward, shifting the focus from others to her own journey. And this book? Consider it an open invitation to join her. Imagine Dr. Blue sitting down with herself, engaging in an intimate, revealing session-except this time, she's the one in the chair.
A writer at heart, Beth-Anne has spent over two decades as a psychologist, licensed in three states, guiding others through their stories while quietly tucking away her own. Now, she fully embraces her inner scribe, bringing those long-buried pages-thoughts, insights, and raw moments-to life.
Pearls and Purse Straps is a deeply personal collection of anecdotes, a fusion of wisdom and vulnerability, penned by an award-winning writer who also happens to be a brilliant psychologist. It's candid, thought-provoking, and profoundly human-a testament to the power of self-reflection and the beauty of finally telling your own truth.
La neurodiversidad puede ser vista desde tres aspectos: como hecho biológico, como paradigma y como movimiento.
Como paradigma enseña que no existe un tipo de cerebro normal y que cada tipo cerebral aporta a la biodiversidad y creatividad humanas.
Una novela trepidante y una indagación filosófica sobre la libertad y la razón
LA ECONOMÍA DE ESTADOS UNIDOS SE ENCUENTRA EN RUINAS. Las empresas cierran, en las tiendas es imposible encontrar los productos básicos y la población empieza a perder la esperanza en recuperar la prosperidad y la autonomía. La respuesta del gobierno es aumentar cada vez más las regulaciones, el control de cualquier actividad y el colectivismo.
La rebelión de Atlas es una novela de misterio, pero, como dijo Ayn Rand, no sobre el asesinato del cuerpo de un hombre, sino sobre el asesinato --y el renacimiento-- del espíritu humano . Es la historia de un hombre que dice que parará el motor del mundo, y lo hace. Es ese hombre un des-tructor malévolo o el mayor de los libertadores? Por qué tiene que luchar, no contra sus enemigos, sino contra aquellos que más le necesitan, incluso contra la heroína a quien ama? Obra cumbre de la gran defensora de la razón y de la libertad individual frente a los excesos del Estado y su mentalidad autoritaria, en ella, Rand expone cómo el declive de la competencia entre las grandes empresas, la desmoralización entre quienes deberían liderar la actividad económica y creativa y la inercia del ciudadano común conducen a la pobreza moral y material. Mezcla de thriller de acción en las altas esferas y de reflexión filosófica sobre el Estado y el individuo, La rebelión de Atlas resume la filosofía de Ayn Rand en una historia que integra de forma magistral cuestiones relacionadas con la ética, la metafísica, la epistemología, la política, la economía y el sexo. Si quieres leer un único libro y entender la visión del mundo de Rand, éste es el libro.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller--nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS'sThe Great American Read.
Who is John Galt? When he says that he will stop the motor of the world, is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battles not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? You will know the answer to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this book. You will discover why a productive genius becomes a worthless playboy...why a great steel industrialist is working for his own destruction...why a composer gives up his career on the night of his triumph...why a beautiful woman who runs a transcontinental railroad falls in love with the man she has sworn to kill. Atlas Shrugged, a modern classic and Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism--her groundbreaking philosophy--offers the reader the spectacle of human greatness, depicted with all the poetry and power of one of the twentieth century's leading artists.
Candid essays on personal and cultural American nostalgia, focusing on the author's working-class, Rust Belt family history.
What does it mean to be nostalgic for the American past? The feeling has been co-opted by the far right (Make America Great Again, after all, is a plea for the past), and associated with violent periods of our country's history when white supremacy was even more dominant than today. Can a liberal white woman still be sentimental about her childhood, her European immigrant family history, her working-class upbringing?
In Dreadful Sorry, Jennifer Niesslein explores her nostalgia problem with grace and curiosity. The essays recount her thoughts upon rewatching Little Women with her sisters and mother, her hand-to-mouth childhood, the effect being not the right kind of white had on her Polish immigrant ancestors in the U.S, and her family's own racism. Niesslein weaves together personal and structural questions of class, whiteness, history, and family with humor and charisma.
A book for anyone who wants to think about their relationship to their childhood, family history, and place.

A comprehensive exploration of spirituality and philosophy

A Quest for Wisdom is a wide-ranging volume which brings together 25 of David Lorimer's highly acclaimed essays. David hopes that readers will be inspired, as Dr Albert Schweitzer put it, in our common task 'to become more finely and deeply human.'
Eastern Spirituality and Western Psychology offers a practical path to harmony between spirituality and Western psychology, between heart and mind. This book:
It guides readers by clarifying the relationship between spirituality and psychological growth, and demonstrates that psychotherapy and spirituality are complementary aspects of human development, with both essential for optimum mental, existential, and spiritual growth. It is up to everyone to take responsibility for making the changes that enable us to contribute to the well-being of the whole.
In this insightful book, the authors reflect on this revolution and consider how it is likely to evolve in the future. It paves the way for those interested in the transpersonal, whether psychologists, psychotherapists, Orientalists, or spiritual practitioners.
As the book says, We are all starved of one and the same thing, 'love, ' where all differences dissolve. The message of hope given is Vasudhaiva kutumbakam (The world is one family) and if, at last, you are able to see through the falsity of multiplicity, Oneness will then be revealed to you.

The notion of Last Drinks has entered deeply into the Australian lexicon, but there is another kind of Last Drink, the last one that an alcoholic takes before she or he gets sober. My Last Drink is a collection of inspiring and hitherto unpublished stories, original for this book, that canvass and explain how thirty-two recovering alcoholics managed to stop drinking and to stay stopped.
The only person who I knew who didn't drink was my mother. She had a bottle of gin that lasted seven years.
