Your Mind

An Owner's Manual for a Better Life

By: Christopher Cortman,Harold Shinitzky

Ten crucial psychological truths that provide “a clinical framework with concrete ways to tackle standing emotional issues” (Foreword Reviews). During tens of thousands of hours facilitating psychotherapy, Drs. Christopher Cortman and Harold Shinitzky came to realize that most people are unaware of ten crucial psychological truths—truths imperative to maintaining mental health and well-being. As a result of this lack of awareness, people become anxious, depressed, and generally unhappy; if they learn the ten truths, they are more likely to lead productive, fulfilled lives. Do you know that: Emotions are understandable and contain valuable information? Our behavior has a hidden purpose? We all have an internal saboteur whom we must identify and control? We can change how we act if we change how we think? Time heals nothing? Your Mind: An Owner’s Manual for a Better Life combines extensive psychological research with decades of clinical practice in a practical, easy-to-digest narrative. Through examples and exercises, Drs. Cortman and Shinitzky present a step-by-step strategy to help you make use of the truths and become a happier, healthier you.

Take Control of Your Anxiety

A Drug-Free Approach to Living a Happy, Healthy Life

By: Christopher Cortman,Harold Shinitzky,Laurie-Ann O'Connor

A Non-Pharmaceutical, Evidence-Based Approach to Mastering Anxiety and Living a Productive, Well-Balanced Life Do you know what really triggers panic attacks? Are you aware of what thinking patterns create anxiety? Are you a chronic worrier? Have you ever self-medicated with alcohol or tranquilizers? According to mental health professionals, anxiety disorders have emerged as the common cold of mental illness. Every family is touched in some way or another by anxiety issues and, with ever-increasing frequency, diagnosable anxiety disorders. In Take Control of Your Anxiety--an easy-to-read, self-help book for the layperson--Drs. Cortman, Shinitzky, and O'Connor present the current understanding of anxiety: its genesis in the brain, its functions and contributions to human survival and growth, and its progression to pathology. Each of the five major anxiety disorders is featured in a chapter that explores its etiology, practical steps and exercises for successful resolution, and real-life case studies of patients who have overcome the disorder. The authors use some levity to teach their concepts, including Dr. Seuss-like poems, popular music parodies, and other easy-to-remember aids. A tool box of simple resources and self-help techniques is also included. Most importantly, the authors emphasize a non-pharmaceutical, evidence-based approach to mastering anxiety issues and living a productive, well-balanced life.

Dharma of the Dead

Zombies, Mortality and Buddhist Philosophy

By: Christopher M. Moreman

With the increased popularity of zombies in recent years, scholars have considered why the undead have so captured the public imagination. This book argues that the zombie can be viewed as an object of meditation on death, a memento mori that makes the fact of mortality more approachable from what has been described as America's "death-denying culture." The existential crisis in zombie apocalyptic fiction brings to the fore the problem of humanity's search for meaning in an increasingly global and secular world. Zombies are analyzed in the context of Buddhist thought, in contrast with social and religious critiques from other works.
