Falling Together: How to Find Balance, Joy, and Meaningful Change When Your Life Seems to be Falling Apart
by Donna Wilk CardilloThere are times in life that shake us to our very foundations. We wish for things to get better, fast. But the truth is that moments of “falling apart” are also our most powerful catalysts for growth and change. In Falling Together, Donna Cardillo, a registered nurse, Dr. Oz blogger, and beloved public speaker, reflects on the overwhelming challenges that fall into every life, and the renewal that comes when we are able to meet them with courage. A funny, big-hearted self-help memoir that takes on issues like divorce, caregiving, and burnout—and many women’s biggest enemies of all, fear, insecurity, and self-doubt—Falling Together shows how to turn the challenges that threaten to knock us to the ground into the building blocks we need to become more successful, more joyful, and ultimately, more alive.
Falling Up: My Wild Ride From Victim To Kick-ass Victory
by Dana LiesegangSometimes an unexpected fall can lead a person to reach for magnificent heights. Dana Liesegang was a lively, athletic, 19-year-old engineman in the U.S. Navy when she was sexually assaulted by a fellow sailor, thrown off a cliff, and left for dead. She survived—but woke up in a hospital hours later paralyzed from the neck down, with doctors giving no hope for recovery. They underestimated the spirit and stubbornness of their patient. In Falling Up: My Wild Ride from Victim to Kick-Ass Victor, Dana recounts her agonizing and sometimes comical struggle from total dependence to doing the “impossible”—walking again. In the process, she learns the importance of forgiveness, discovers the awe-inspiring power of belief and perseverance, and transforms herself from silent victim to outspoken advocate and inspiration for people everywhere.
Falling Upward, Revised and Updated: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by Richard RohrAn update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard Rohr In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation. Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of life Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering" Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.
Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by Richard RohrIn the first half of life, we establish our identity--climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and begin to embark on a further journey, one that involves challenges, mistakes, loss of control, broader horizons, and necessary suffering that shocks us out of our prior comfort zone, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. In Falling Upward, Father Richard Rohr offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how our failings can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth.

False Images, Deadly Promises: Smoking and the Media
by Ann MalaspinaThough it's illegal to advertise tobacco products on television and Big Tobacco no longer sponsors major sporting events, it doesn't mean that cigarettes have been relegated to the back pages of little-read magazines. Quite the contrary. Though they might not be advertised--at least in the traditional meaning of the word--cigarettes continue to hold a prominent place in the media.
Fama, Fortuna y Ambición: ¿Cuál es el verdadero significado del éxito? (Life Essentials #Volumen)
by OshoFama, Fortuna y ambición es una obra en la que Osho medita, entre otros temas, sobre el dinero y el poder, dejando claro que no son negativos mientras esta abundancia material no sustituya a la espiritual o la haga a un lado, y que no es necesario desear con intensidad para obtener las cosas materiales o espirituales, pues se presentarán precisamente cuando menos las estemos esperando y después del esfuerzo personal necesario para lograrlo. La sociedad engendra la idea de la ambición, de ser poderoso, de ser rico. Es una sociedad completamente equivocada. Produce personas insanas, psicológicamente enfermas. Y cuando han alcanzado la meta que la sociedad y el sistema educativo les ha impuesto, se encuentran en un punto muerto. La carretera se acaba; más allá no hay nada. Así, o se convierten en falsas personas religiosas o saltan a la locura o al suicidio y se destruyen.

Familia adicta: Un padre y un hijo cuentan cómo es salir del infierno
by Mauro FedericoEsta es la historia de una adicción que pedía a gritos ser escuchada pero que nadie oyó. En estas páginas honestas y descarnadas, un padre narra cómo fue el proceso para dejar atrás la culpa y hacerse responsable; y el hijo, adicto, cómo fue el suyo desde que tocó fondo hasta que hizo su última rehabilitación. Este es un libro escrito a cuatro manos por un padre y un hijo. La historia es la misma, contada desde el lugar protagónico de ambos. Juntos cuentan cómo se reencontraron y aprendieron a vincularse. Cómo, a cuatro manos también, y con la inestimable ayuda de amigos y profesionales, reunieron los pedazos de una familia rota y volvieron a mirarse a los ojos con afecto y compasión. Mauro Federico es periodista de radio y televisión, y sus investigaciones sobre el narcotráfico fueron tema destacado en los medios. Mientras él se adentraba en ese mundo feroz y oscuro en busca de información, su hijo Ariel también lo hacía, pero desde el lado del dolor y la desprotección. Estas son páginas imprescindibles para comprender que no se sale solo de la dependencia de las drogas, y que si no hay familia dispuesta a superarlo, no hay adicto que se pueda recuperar.

Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be
by Timothy P CarneyThe bestselling author of Alienated America traveled the country asking families and experts the same two questions: Why is parenting so hard now? And why are the results so bad?Our culture tells parents there's one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can't do that, don't bother.How is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it's time to end this failed experiment in overparenting.Have more kids, have more fun, cancel the travel soccer games, let your kids wander off, and give them deeper sources of meaning than material success. This is an old-fashioned view, but every day the evidence validates it. Drawing on rigorous research—both as a reporter and as a dad of six—Carney demonstrates why modern parenting is so misguided. The high standards set for modern American parenting are unrealistic and setting parents—and our kids—up to fail.Researched over three years and written in between rec baseball games and church picnics where nobody was watching the kids, Family Unfriendly is deeply wise, energetically told, and destined to be the most consequential book about parenting in years.
Family Whispering
by Tracy Hogg Melinda BlauParenting is something you do. Family is something you are.--TRACY HOGG Before her untimely death in 2004, Tracy--aka the Baby Whisperer--and her longtime collaborator, journalist Melinda Blau, conceived a fourth book that would apply the commonsense principles of baby whispering to the "whole family." This ground-breaking book explains why "family" is defined by much more than the relationship between parent and child. By widening the lens to focus on the family as an entity, Blau uses the Baby Whisperer philosophy to illuminate how the multiple bonds and interactions that unfold within a household of adults and children coalesce to form a larger family dynamic. By taking this wider perspective, she enables readers to see everyday challenges--such as sibling rivalry, communication, and time management--with fresh eyes. Informed both by research and stories of real families, this new book is filled with the handy tips and memorable acronyms that Baby Whisperer fans have come to expect. The advice is simple, practical, and often counterintuitive (asking kids to help more around the home can make them happier; setbacks can often make a family closer). The hopeful message is that with insight, awareness, and "family-think," we can actually design our families to be happier and more productive, improving the daily lives of parents and kids--and, thereby, benefiting society as a whole in the process.
Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders Piece by Piece: A Practical Guide for Parents
by James Lock Aileen Whyte Brittany Matheson Nandini DattaThe book illustrates how parents who are participating in family-based treatment (FBT) for their child's eating disorder (ED) may enhance their chances of achieving optimal outcomes for their child by more successfully navigating the challenges that often impede progress in treatment and recovery.The stance of the book is transdiagnostic, so that the information provided spans all ED diagnoses including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and atypical ED presentations as well as conditions that fall outside current diagnostic criteria. This book aims to help parents identify how they can make the most out of FBT therapy no matter which ED symptoms their child experiences. Case vignettes across the diagnostic and clinical spectrum are used liberally throughout the book, not only to illustrate examples of some of the specific challenges families face, but to help parents normalize the emotions they may feel around their experience of trying to help their child and around their experience of participating in the FBT intervention itself. A respectful and supportive tone makes this resource accessible and jargon-free for parents, and provides useful information and approaches for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and allied health practitioners who deliver FBT to young people and families.
