Vulnerable Minds: The Harm of Childhood Trauma and the Hope of Resilience
by Marc D. HauserA new, hopeful pathway to understanding children&’s trauma and providing effective interventions to build healthier communitiesEach year at least a billion children around the world are victims of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that range from physical abuse to racial discrimination to neglect and food deprivation. The brain plasticity of our most vulnerable makes the adverse effects of trauma only that much more damaging to mental and physical development. Those dealt a hand of ACEs are more likely to drop out of school, have a shorter life, abuse substances, and suffer from myriad mental health and behavioral issues. The crucial question is: How do we intervene to offer these children a more hopeful future? Neurobiologist and educator Dr. Marc Hauser provides a novel, research-based framework to understand a child&’s unique response to ACEs that goes beyond our current understanding and is centered around the five Ts—the timing during development when the trauma began, its type, tenure, toxicity, and how much turbulence it has caused in a child&’s life. Using this lens, adults can start to help children build resilience and recover—and even benefit—from their adversity through targeted community and school interventions, emotional regulation tools, as well as a new frontier of therapies focused on direct brain stimulation, including neurofeedback and psychedelics. While human suffering experienced by children is the most devastating, it also presents the most promise for recovery; the plasticity of young people&’s brains makes them vulnerable, but it also makes them apt to take back the joy, wonder, innocence, and curiosity of childhood when given the right support. Vulnerable Minds is a call to action for parents, policymakers, educators, and doctors to reclaim what&’s been lost and commit ourselves to our collective responsibility to all children.
Vyasan Mukti ka Marg: व्यसन मुक्ति का मार्ग
by Dada Bhagwanव्यसन वह वास्तव में क्या है, कैसे घूसता है, उसका आधार क्या है, आधार किस तरह हटाए, वगैरह की विस्तृत समझ परम पूज्य दादा भगवान ने यहाँ खुली की हैं। व्यसन वह किस तरह ज़ोखिमी है, उसकी विस्तृत समझ फीट करा देते हैं, सही समझ ही व्यसन के प्रति उसका अभिप्राय बदलकर एक दिन उसे इसमें से मुक्त करके रहेंगी। इस पुस्तक में दादाश्री ने व्यसन में से मुक्त होने के विविध उपाय बताए हैं। जिसमें से एक उपाय, चार स्टेप का अनोखा तरीका, जिसमें (1) व्यसन वह गलत है उसका दृढ़ निश्चय करे (२) किस तरह गलत है उसकी समझ इकटठा करके जागृति में रखें, (३) तय करने के बाद जितनी बार फिर से व्यसन होता है उतनी बार प्रतिक्रमण-प्रत्याख्यान करना है और (4) कोई इसके लिए भूल निकाले, अपमान करे, फिर भी उसका रक्षण नहीं करना है। जिसे खुद व्यसन है उस व्यक्ति के लिए तो इस पुस्तक में से कईं सारी चाबियाँ मिलेगी ही लेकिन साथ ही साथ खुद के नज़दीक की व्यक्तियों में किसी को भी व्यसन है, तो उसके साथ खुद को कौन सी समझ से व्यवहार करना है, उस बारे में दादाश्री द्वारा दी गई समझ भी नया ही दृष्टिकोण देगी। जिससे खुद को राग-द्वेष न हो और सामने वाले व्यक्ति को भी व्यसन में से बाहर निकलने के लिए पोजिटीव साइन हो जाएगी।
Vyasan Muktini Vaignanik Rit: વ્યસન મુક્તિની વૈજ્ઞાનિક રીત
by Dada Bhagwan‘વ્યસન’, ‘addiction’ આ શબ્દ આ કાળમાં એટલો તે સામાન્ય થઈ પડ્યો છે, કે લોક ઘણાંખરાં અંશે કોઈ ને કોઈ રીતે આમાં ઝલાયેલા હોય છે. વ્યસન એ ખરેખર શું છે, કઈ રીતે પેસે છે, એનો આધાર શું છે, આધાર ખસેડવા શી રીતે વિગેરેની વિસ્તૃત સમજણ પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદા ભગવાન અત્રે ખુલ્લી કરે છે. આ પુસ્તકમાં દાદાશ્રીએ વ્યસનમાંથી મુક્ત થવાના વિવિધ ઉપાયો દર્શાવ્યા છે. જેમાંનો એક ઉપાય છે, ચાર સ્ટેપની અનોખી રીત, જેમાં (૧) વ્યસન એ ખોટું છે એનો દ્રઢ નિશ્ચય રાખીએ, (૨) કઈ રીતે ખોટું છે એની વિગત એકત્રિત કરી જાગૃતિમાં રાખીએ, (૩) નક્કી કર્યા છતાં જેટલી વાર ફરીથી વ્યસન થાય એટલી વાર પ્રતિક્રમણ-પ્રત્યાખાન કરીએ અને (૪) કોઈ એના માટે ભૂલ કાઢે, અપમાન કરે તોય એનું રક્ષણ ન કરીએ. જ્ઞાનપ્રાપ્તિ પછી પોતાનું અંદરનું સુખ પ્રાપ્ત થતા ઘણાયે મહાત્માઓ વ્યસનોમાંથી સહેજે મુક્ત થઈ જાય છે. છતાં જેને વ્યસનો ચાલુ હોય એમના માટે દાદાશ્રીએ લોકનિંદ્ય અને લોકનિંદ્ય નથી એવા વ્યસનનો ભેદ દર્શાવીને લોકનિંદ્ય વ્યસન સામે લાલબત્તી ધરી છે.

WA. La vía japonesa de la armonía
by Laura Messina¿En qué consiste exactamente el espíritu japonés? 72 palabras para entender que la verdadera felicidad es la compartida. Wa significa armonía, pero como todas las palabras japonesas evoca mucho más. Wa es, de hecho, todo lo que es suave, sereno y moderado, pero también hace referencia a todo lo que es japonés. Wa es un prefijo que se aplica tanto a cosas como a conceptos. A través de wa, Japón nos enseña su mejor lección: la belleza, la alegría y el civismo se construyen con grandes dosis de compromiso, mediante el trabajo continuo en uno mismo, ejercitando la paciencia, haciendo las cosas con cuidado y nunca a expensas de otros, porque una felicidad verdaderamente duradera es un proyecto de todos y nunca de uno solo. Laura Imai Messina, autora italiana afincada en Tokio y creadora del blog Japan Mon Amour, realiza en este libro un viaje a través de setenta y dos palabras que simbolizan y encarnan el encancanto y la esencia de Japón, y nos desvela el significado oculto de unos nombres llenos de poesía; como las setenta y dos estaciones del antiguo calendario lunar japonés, que cada cinco días da la oportunidad de renovarse. Las enseñanzas procedentes de Japón son más actuales que nunca, incluso en Occidente. Pero, ¿en qué consiste exactamente el espíritu japonés? El antiguo nombre de Japón era Yamato que, dividido en sus ideogramas, significa «Gran wa», es decir, «Gran Armonía». Y esa armonía, que es una prioridad de la cultura japonesa y domina las palabras y actitudes de su gente, es también un concepto en el camino, un sistema de absorción, elección y adaptación, que le da a Japón ese halo de misterio mágico que fascina al mundo.
WALK: Slow Down, Wake Up, and Connect at 1-3 Miles per Hour
by Jonathon StallsA transformative collection of essays on the power of walking to connect with ourselves, each other, and nature itself.In 2010, Jonathon Stalls and his blue-heeler husky mix began their 242-day walk across the United States, depending upon each other and the kindness of strangers along the way. In this collection of essays, Stalls explores walking as waking up: how a cross-country journey through the family farms of West Virginia, the deep freedom of Nevada&’s High desert, and everywhere in between unlocked connections to his deepest aches and dreams--and opened new avenues for renewal, connection, and change.While most of us won&’t walk or roll across the country, the deep wisdom and insights that Stalls receives from the people, land, and animals he meets on his pilgrimage have profound impacts for each of us. He shares how walking deepened his relationship to himself as a gay man, offering deep and clarifying emotional medicine. He confronts the systemic racism, classism, and ableism that shape and reshape the communities he walks through. And he invites readers to become awakened activists, to begin healing our culture&’s profound separation from the natural world.WALK is for those who crave to feel and embody, not just know and study, their way through complex themes that live in each chapter: vulnerability, human dignity, presence, mystery, and resistance. With dedicated practices--like connecting to Earth stewardship, moving into vulnerability, and walking and rolling with intention--Stalls&’ WALK is an urgent and glorious call to slow down, look around, and engage with the world in front of us. It awakens us to what we miss when we&’re driving by, flying over, and rushing past what surrounds us. It&’s an invitation to move, to connect, to participate deeply in the world--and to dissolve the barriers that disconnect us from each other and the living Earth.
WAM: Tales of a Wandering Loon (Inspirational Series)
by Chris YoungAs a kind, chatty, and good-humoured man with a zest for life and a passion for helping people, Chris Young adored his job as a social worker. But things fell apart when, in 2008, he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. His illness brought about the end of his calling and he found himself in need of a new project and purpose.And so it came to be that in 2011, Chris began a campaign called Walk a Mile In my Shoes. He walks around the edge of the UK – the edge of society being where many people with mental health problems feel they are – without spending any money and relying on the kindness of strangers.In 2015, he joined forces with See Me Scotland to distil the success of the coastal walk into a series of events, inviting other people to join him and discuss mental health. He encouraged them to literally walk a mile in each other's shoes. Walk a Mile: Tales of a Wandering Loon is the story of how a normal, nurturing childhood turned into one of neglect and abuse and how this, combined with a little faulty brain wiring, led to a severe and enduring mental illness.

WHOLE: How I Learned to Fill the Fragments of My Life with Forgiveness, Hope, Strength, and Creativity
by Melissa Moore Michele MatriscianiA five-point plan to usher you through heartache and toward a stronger, healthier place.“I know how to kill someone and get away with it.” The words spoken by her father when Melissa was a teen haunt her to this day. Two years later, after confessing that he was the serial killer nationally known as the Happy Face Killer, Keith Jesperson was arrested for the murder of eight women. The pain, guilt, and shame that followed her father’s conviction stigmatized Melissa for years until she figured out a way to use her emotions as fuel to free herself from self-imposed limits and set out on a journey to rebuild her fragmented life.Through her work as an Emmy-nominated investigative journalist, television host, educator, and advocate, Melissa created WHOLE, a five-step program to better develop her own approach to healing: Watch the Storm, Heal Your Heart, Open Your Mind, Leverage Your Power, and Elevate Your Spirit.Among other things, she found that the commitment to your core values makes all the difference in getting unstuck; that forgiveness gives the greatest chance of making a future not defined by the past; that there is great value in vulnerability; that creativity is essential to living a full life; and that hope is the basis for everything we feel, believe, and do.In each phase of the program, Melissa inspires you to embrace your past to find wholeness within the parts of your life that you believe to be “broken.” If you are stuck in the rut of a painful experience—whether depression, trauma, pain, fear, addiction, or guilt—you will find comfort in this book’s advice, self-evaluation, and action plans.WHOLE is a powerful journey of recovery and awakening that reframes the pain experience so it can be used as a way to invite understanding, growth, and transformation into your life.

WISEgenerosity: A Guide for Purposeful and Practical Living and Giving
by Christopher GabrielThe question was, &“What am I supposed to do in life?&” The answer: &“Be generous.&”Think about the most successful people you know—those with wealth, power, and status. Are they happy? Are they enlightened? Are they fulfilled? Maybe . . . and maybe not. Sometimes, the glitz of a social media façade hides a lonely, unfilled, and unrewarding life. Chances are, the happiest, most grateful, and most graceful people you know are the ones who have prioritized more than simple &“success.&” Instead, these are the women and men who have chosen a different path—an others-first perspective that prioritizes giving over self-gratification and self-promotion. And not just generosity—WISEgenerosity. In this landmark work, Chris Gabriel presents the guidebook on generosity for the modern age. Forgoing outdated and superficial assumptions about vague, undirected, merely &“feel-good&” giving, Chris brings laser focus to generosity that is W.I.S.E.: Well-grounded Inspired Satisfying Effective Filled with practical instruction, uplifting stories, challenging self-examination exercises, and detailed models, WISEgenerosity cuts through the confusion surrounding why to give, how to give, what to give, when to give, and where to give. Then, it takes you by the hand and walks you down a thoughtful, proven path to a purposeful and productive life—your best life—with generosity that is meaningful and effective for both the giver and the receiver. This is WISEgenerosity.

by Arielle FordLove. It's right up there with air, food, and water as the most necessary of ingredients for existence.

Wabi Sabi Love teaches you to: turn conflict into connection and differences into mutual passions move from "annoyed" to "enjoyed" establish new beliefs and habits that better serve your relationship cultivate humor, humility, and generosity to diffuse those moments when you would normally retreat or slip into tired judgments, criticisms, or resentments Using real-life stories of couples who applied Wabi Sabi and found their relationships transformed, Wabi Sabi Love can revolutionize your relationship whether you're navigating financial challenges, raising children, caring for aging parents, coping with a seemingly insurmountable betrayal, or just facing mundane frustrations and everyday stressors.

by María ValeroEste libro se creó para ser compartido, intervenido, colmado de vida. Coge un lápiz, sé imperfecto y descubre tu mejor versión. «Me lo merezco. Porque soy, porque estoy, porque existo, porque viví, porque aguanto y porque camino. Por los que me quieren y por los que no, por mis sueños y por mis miedos, merezco.» Wabi-sabi es un libro para ti: para que lo prestes, para que escribas en él, para que reflexiones y aprecies tu pequeña evolución. Es una invitación a explorar la belleza de las imperfecciones, a disfrutar de los momentos fugaces y a acoger con calma los altibajos. Un trocito de vida compartido en forma de poema para que puedas contemplar tus propias experiencias como si fueran parte del ciclo de una flor. En armonía con la naturaleza, nos desarrollamos, crecemos y evolucionamos.
