Everything Is Personal is an empowering book for those who have tried to change without experiencing much success.

Everything is Personal is an inspiring chronicle of the authors inner journey to alter her behaviors, only to discover how difficult change can be even when the desire is strong. She recognizes she is not alone. Research shows ninety percent of those who make New Years resolutions fail by the end of the year. Relying on the guiding principle that Everything is Personal and her love for Quantum Physics, brain research, and learning theory, she devises a change process that is simple and effective. As she gradually revises her self-defeating beliefs, she discovers true inner happiness, unconditional self-love, and compassion for others. Her journey is personal, but the answers she finds are universal.

Founded in 1883, the Chicago Manual Training School (CMTS) was a short-lived but influential institution dedicated to teaching a balanced combination of practical and academic skills. Connie Goddard uses the CMTS as a door into America’s early era of industrial education and the transformative idea of “learning to do.” Rooting her account in John Dewey’s ideas, Goddard moves from early nineteenth century supporters of the union of learning and labor to the interconnected histories of CMTS, New Jersey’s Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, North Dakota’s Normal and Industrial School, and related programs elsewhere. Goddard analyzes the work of movement figures like abolitionist Theodore Weld, educators Calvin Woodward and Booker T. Washington, social critic W.E.B. Du Bois, Dewey himself, and his influential Chicago colleague Ella Flagg Young. The book contrasts ideas about manual training held by advocate Nicholas Murray Butler with those of opponent William Torrey Harris and considers overlooked connections between industrial education and the Arts and Crafts Movement. An absorbing merger of history and storytelling, Learning for Work looks at the people who shaped industrial education while offering a provocative vision of realizing its potential today.
PAIN: Why Do We Continue to Suffer? explores the scientific reasons behind the ongoing problem of unrelieved pain. But it’s not just a medical problem. Due to the complexity and subjective nature of pain, various cultures and religions throughout history have taught that relief of pain is not important and in some cases should not even be attempted. These views and biases continue to impact current attitudes about pain and pain relief. Any discussion about pain today must include the topic of opioid abuse, although when used appropriately, opioids are often the most effective method to relieve severe pain. One chapter attempts to provide a balanced assessment of the risks and benefits of prescription opioids, in the context of other current medications and alternative methods for pain relief. Later chapters discuss recent research toward discovering safer and more effective ways to relieve pain—offering the reader hope that there will be less suffering in the future.
