I Ching In Plain English
by George Hulskramer Rosalind BuckThe I Ching is based on the idea that all phenomena in the universe are founded on two opposing forces. Initially these forces were referred to simply as dark and light. Later, the terms were changed to Yin and Yang. Yin is the female, passive, flexible and gentle force at work in the universe, and Yang, the male principle, is characterised by decisiveness, activity, hardness and a certain rigidity. In the I Ching, all forms of life and therefore also the functions of the human spirit are associated with Yin and Yang. The Yin and Yang forces are at work in all processes of growth and decay, in the cycle of the seasons, in everything we think, do, experience and undertake. In fact, without the interaction of Yin and Yang, there would be no life.

I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression
by Terrence RealA bestseller for over 20 years, I Don&’t Want to Talk About It is a groundbreaking and hopeful guide to understanding and destigmatizing male depression, essential not only for men who may be suffering but for the people who love them.Twenty years of experience treating men and their families has convinced psychotherapist Terrence Real that depression is a silent epidemic in men—that men hide their condition from family, friends, and themselves to avoid the stigma of depression’s “un-manliness.” Problems that we think of as typically male—difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage—are really attempts to escape depression. And these escape attempts only hurt the people men love and pass their condition on to their children. This groundbreaking book is the “pathway out of darkness” that these men and their families seek. Real reveals how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships, and break the legacy of abuse. He mixes penetrating analysis with compelling tales of his patients and even his own experiences with depression as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons.
