Toms and Dees: Transgender Identity and Female Same-Sex Relationships in Thailand
by Megan J. SinnottA vibrant, growing, and highly visible set of female identities has emerged in Thailand known as tom and dee. A tom (from tomboy) refers to a masculine woman who is sexually involved with a feminine partner, or dee (from lady). The patterning of female same-sex relationships into masculine and feminine pairs, coupled with the use of English-derived terms to refer to them, is found throughout East and Southeast Asia. Have the forces of capitalism facilitated the dissemination of Western-style gay and lesbian identities throughout the developing world as some theories of transnationalism suggest? Is the emergence of toms and dees over the past twenty-five years a sign that this has occurred in Thailand? Megan Sinnott engages these issues by examining the local culture and historical context of female same-sex eroticism and female masculinity in Thailand. Drawing on a broad spectrum of anthropological literature, Sinnott situates Thai tom and dee subculture within the global trend of increasingly hybridized sexual and gender identities.

Too Fast to Think
by Chris LewisOur lives are getting faster and faster. We are engulfed in constant distraction from email, social media and our 'always on' work culture. We are too busy, too overloaded with information and too focused on analytical left-brain thinking processes to be creative. Too Fast to Think exposes how our current work practices, media culture and education systems are detrimental to innovation. The speed and noise of modern life is undermining the clarity and quiet that is essential to power individual thought. Our best ideas are often generated when we are free to think diffusely, in an uninterrupted environment, which is why moments of inspiration so often occur in places completely separate to our offices. To reclaim creativity, Too Fast to Think teaches you how to retrain your brain into allowing creative ideas to emerge, before they are shut down by interruption, distraction or the self-doubt of your over-rational brain. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to maximize their creative potential, as well as that of their team. Supported by cutting-edge research from the University of the Arts London and insightful interviews with business leaders, academics, artists, politicians and psychologists, Chris Lewis takes a holistic approach to explain the 8 crucial traits that are inherently linked to creation and innovation.

Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight
by Sharon HellerIn the publishing tradition of Driven to Distraction or The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing, this prescriptive book by a developmental psychologist and sufferer of Sensory Defensive Disorder (SD) sheds light on a little known but common affliction in which sufferers react to harmless stimuli as irritating, distracting or dangerous.We all know what it feels like to be irritated by loud music, accosted by lights that are too bright, or overwhelmed by a world that moves too quickly. But millions of people suffer from Sensory Defensive Disorder (SD), a common affliction in which people react to harmless stimuli not just as a distracting hindrance, but a potentially dangerous threat.Sharon Heller, Ph.D. is not only a trained psychologist, she is sensory defensive herself. Bringing both personal and professional perspectives, Dr. Heller is the ideal person to tell the world about this problem that will only increase as technology and processed environments take over our lives. In addition to heightening public awareness of this prevalent issue, Dr. Heller provides tools and therapies for alleviating and, in some cases, even eliminating defensiveness altogether.Until now, the treatment for sensory defensiveness has been successfully implemented in Learning Disabled children in whom defensiveness tends to be extreme. However, the disorder has generally been unidentified in adults who think they are either overstimulated, stressed, weird, or crazy. These sensory defensive sufferers live out their lives stressed and unhappy, never knowing why or what they can do about it. Now, with Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight, they have a compassionate spokesperson and a solution-oriented book of advice.

Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control
by Allan E. Mallinger Jeannette De Wyze[From The Front Flap.] The rewards of perfectionism are obvious: success, financial security, the respect of friends and colleagues. But, inevitably, perfection comes at a price- too often, the loss of intimacy, emotional authenticity, and self-esteem. The tendency toward perfectionism and a host of related behaviors are hallmarks of the obsessive, a personality style that contributes to an outward appearance of poise, confidence, and strength but inwardly can cause anguish, suffering, and turmoil. The result of more than ten years of clinical research and observations from Dr. Allan Mallinger's private practice, Too Perfect helps identify the destructive patterns obsessives can unwittingly fall into, as well as the enormous emotional toll such behavior exacts on the obsessive and on friends and loved ones. From the compulsive worrier to the endlessly orderly "neat freak" and the driven workaholic, Dr. Mallinger shows how a disproportionate need for control-and an overwhelming fear of the uncertainty that exists in uncontrolled situations-can lead obsessives to adopt paralyzingly rigid roles almost like armor against life's uncertainties. But in ruling out the unexpected, these protective roles too often end up depriving the obsessive of emotional closeness, leisure time, an overall feeling of well-being-the very things the obsessive strives to ensure by virtue of his or her "flawless" performance in life. Fortunately, assures Dr. Mallinger, change is possible for even the most stubbornly resistant obsessive. Through both extensive case histories and specific suggestions for behavior modification, Too Perfect illustrates the road to change and offers hope to people who have sacrificed their right to happiness to their need to be right-and those who love them.
Too Safe for Their Own Good: How Risk and Responsibility Help Teens Thrive
by Michael UngarCanadian children are safer now than at any other time in history. So why are we so fearful for them? When they're young, we drive them to playdates, fill up their time with organized activity, and cocoon them from every imaginable peril. We think we are doing what's best for them. But as they grow into young adults and we continue to manage their lives, running interference with teachers and coaches, we are, in fact, unwittingly stunting them. Internationally respected social worker and family therapist Michael Ungar tells us why our mania to keep our kids safe is causing us to do the opposite: put them in harm's way. By continuing to protect them from failure and disappointment, many of our kids are missing out on the "risk-taker's advantage," the benefits that come from experiencing manageable amounts of danger. In Too Safe for Their Own Good, Ungar inspires parents to recall their own childhoods and the lessons they learned from being risk-takers and responsibility-seekers, much to the annoyance of their own parents. He offers the support parents need in setting appropriate limits and provides concrete suggestions for allowing children the opportunity to experience the rites of passage that will help them become competent, happy, thriving adults.In many communities, we are failing miserably doing much more than keeping our children vacuum-safe. They are not getting the experiences they need to grow up well. An entire generation of children from middle class homes, in downtown row houses, apartment blocks, and copycat suburbs, whose good fortune it is to have sidewalks and neighbourhood watch programs, crossing guards, and playground monitors, are not being provided with the opportunities they need to learn how to navigate their way through life's challenges. We don't intend any harm. Quite the contrary. In our mania to provide emotional life jackets around our kids, helmets and seatbelts, approved playground equipment, after-school supervision, an endless stream of evening programming, and no place to hang out but the tiled flooring of our local mall, we parents are accidentally creating a generation of youth who are not ready for life. Our children are too safe for their own good.

by Stephen Mitchell Erin MitchellHow couples with kids can transform 13 common relationship fights into closer connection, from popular Instagram counselors Erin and Stephen Mitchell (@couples.counseling.for.parents).Parenting changes a couple&’s relationship in fundamental ways, but most parents are too exhausted from the demands of life, work, and engaging their kids to prioritize their relationship.

Toolbox Resilienz: Skills für den Umgang mit kritischen Situationen beim Lernen und im Klinikalltag (essentials)
by Martina Kahl-ScholzResilienz ist mittlerweile als Schlagwort überall da zu hören, wo Menschen sich Herausforderungen gegenübersehen – egal, ob das für den privaten oder beruflichen Bereich, für einzelne Personen, Teams oder ganze Unternehmen gilt. Resilienz ist aber kein Allheilmittel, das man sich im Vorbeigehen aneignen und dann jederzeit anwenden kann. Vielmehr beschreibt Resilienz eine innere Haltung, die sich allgemeinhin aus mehreren Bausteinen zusammensetzt – genau das gilt für die ureigene Widerstandskraft, um die es in diesem essential gehen soll, auch.Aus eigener Erfahrung beschreibt die Autorin, welche Herausforderungen das Medizinstudium und der spätere klinische Alltag bereithalten können – und dass man zwar theoretisch darauf vorbereitet sein kann, die praktische Erfahrung aber doch die Vorstellung davon meistens um Längen schlägt. Dieses essential soll eine kleine Hilfestellung bieten, um durch das Näherrücken an das Thema „Resilienz&“ einige Skills zu vermitteln, die das Lernen erleichtern und auch den Umgang mit kritischen Situationen im Klinikalltag einfacher machen. Damit hilft man als angehender Arzt/angehende Ärztin nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch den Patienten, die man behandelt.
