Author David L. Lyons grew up during the 1950s and 60s in the small community of Whitehall in northern Alabama. As a child, he dealt with abject poverty and the stigma of being born to an unwed mother, which greatly affected his childhood. Lyons realized he was different from other children on the first day of school, when teachers asked students to tell the class who their fathers were and what they did. He never knew his father. Instead, he was raised by a single mother-a rarity in 1947, when he was born-with the help of his maternal grandparents. In his memoir, A Long Way from Whitehall, Lyons recalls the adventures, misadventures, and unusual characters he encountered living in rural Alabama. He includes tales of family, holidays, schools, and childhood mischief, as well as memories from his time in the navy, his return to civilian life, his time in college, and his eventual career as a police officer and a commissioned officer in the US Army. Lyons also provides a collection of food recipes and home remedies used during his youth. This personal narrative presents a story of survival, perseverance, and the tremendous drive to overcome early difficulties. Lyons' life story demonstrates that with hard work it is possible to achieve your dreams.

Tapping

Self-Healing with the Transformative Power of Energy Psychology

By: Donna Eden,David Feinstein, PhD

“A lucid guide to energy psychology that demonstrates techniques and procedures that can bring about remarkably rapid changes in the way people feel and move through the world.” —Bessel van der Kolk, MD, #1 New York Times nonfiction bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score What if the answer to what’s holding you back was at your very fingertips? That’s exactly the solution presented in Tapping. We all face a range of issues in common areas of life, from worry, depression, and trauma to self-defeating habits, addictions, and relationships. Thankfully, Tapping is an accessible and authoritative new work that offers a vibrant response to the psychological and spiritual trials presented by a world in unprecedented distress. Renowned clinical psychologist Dr. David Feinstein, along with the world’s most sought-after expert on energy medicine, Donna Eden, promise: “Whether the emotional issue at hand is caused by stress or anxiety, physical ailments, aging, the pressures of parenting, work, or staying centered and grounded in this world, we offer a framework and a set of tools to help you show up at your best.” Tapping energy points on the skin while bringing problems and goals to mind changes the brain in ways that help to overcome those challenges and support those aspirations. This stimulating practice places an astonishingly effective tool into your hands, quite literally. Emerging from time-honored healing traditions, the procedure signals your nervous system to reduce fear, anger, stress, and grief while activating brain regions involved with problem-solving and managing emotions—to help you find inner balance and take charge of the internal models that govern your life. As cultural historian Dr. Jean Houston declares in her foreword, this “is a stunning call to action at a time of desperate personal and collective need.” Created for everyday and professional readers alike, here is an unprecedented resource for self-care and personal growth. Through their extensive research and field-tested refinements on this method, Eden and Feinstein combine the scientifically validated effectiveness of tapping with the best practices of psychotherapy, helping you move forward to a healthier and happier life.
