Discover the power of mirror meditation to help you awaken self-compassion, increase self-awareness, and gain the confidence needed to thrive. Seeing ourselves clearly isn’t always easy—especially in the age of social media. Technology has eroded our capacity for authentic self-reflection. As a result, we feel more anxious and depressed, have shorter attention spans, and have become more estranged from ourselves and each other. We’ve also become more critical of our physical appearance, and this self-criticism can damage our confidence and stand in the way of our happiness. In order to heal, we must come face to face with our true selves—not the images of ourselves that we alter and post online. If you're ready for self-reflection that has nothing to do with selfies, this book will reveal the way. Based in cutting-edge neuroscience, Mirror Meditation offers mindful practices for increasing your self-awareness, managing stress and emotions, developing self-compassion, and increasing your confidence and personal presence. Using the three principles of mindfulness meditation—attention to the present moment, open awareness, and kind intention toward oneself—you’ll realize just how much your self-criticisms are affecting you. Then you’ll have a choice—and a practice—to treat yourself with more self-acceptance. Self-awareness can help you break free from both your inner critic and the external world that stokes the fears and anxieties that we are never good enough, never have enough, and are never safe enough. The simple self-mirroring technique in this unique guide isn’t grounded in technology—just a commitment to be present with yourself.

It’s time for a kindness revolution. In The Kindness Cure, psychologist Tara Cousineau draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to show how simple practices of kindness—for ourselves, for others, and for our world—can dissolve our feelings of fear and indifference, and open us up to a life of profound happiness. Compassion for ourselves and others is our birthright as humans—hardwired into our DNA and essential to our happiness. But in our fast-paced, technical savvy and hyper competitive world, it may come as no surprise that rates of narcissism have risen, while empathy levels have declined. We now find ourselves in a “cool to be cruel” culture where it’s easy to feel disillusioned and dejected in our hearts, homes, and communities. So, how can we reverse this malady of meanness and make kindness and compassion an imperative? The Kindness Cure draws on the latest social and scientific research to reveal how the seemingly “soft skills” of kindness, cooperation, and generosity are fundamental to our survival as a species. In fact, it’s our prosocial abilities that put us at the head of the line. Blended with moving case studies and clinical anecdotes, Cousineau offers practical ways to rekindle kindness from the inside out. We are wired to care. The very existence of our human species evolved because of an intricate physiology built for empathy, compassion, and cooperation. Yet we have an epidemic of loneliness, indifference, and cruelty, and we see these destructive trends on a daily basis in our families, schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces. This important book teaches effective skills in compassion, mindfulness, and social and emotional learning, and reveals successful social policy initiatives in empathy taking place that inform everything from family life to education to the workplace. Kindness has the exponential power to renew relationships and transform how we think, feel, and behave in the world. Will you be a part of the revolution?
This book is a part of a two part series: Tell It Well, To Do and To Teach as Jesus did focuses on the first seven chapters of Acts and Tell It Well, The Ripple Effect Continues focuses on chapters eight through twelve. The two studies can stand alone, but you will gain more by doing both.Why the first twelve chapters of Acts? Luke sought to teach to the lovers of God what JESUS came TO DO and TO TEACH. We will observe the ripple effect of Jesus' short three-year ministry through the life of Peter. Peter is the Apostle one might least expect to be the role model we are given to follow. His impetuous and impulsive behavior caused him to receive rebuke on more than one occasion. Yet, every time we read the names of the early church leaders, Peter's name is always listed first. Obviously, Peter's walk represented Christ well enough that the LORD gave us twelve whole chapters to examine how he walked the walk and talked the talk after Christ's ascension.Our goal is to read the Biblical passage enough times that we will be comfortable enough to tell it to another. Not just tell it, but to tell it well. This is essential to our authentic walk with Christ. The only Bible we own is the one we know! We will read the passages in the New International Version (NIV), King James Version (KJV), Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), Amplified (AMP), and The Message (MSG). Please keep in mind that any translation beyond the original Greek text is a paraphrase of the original text. We will study each translation to enjoy the differing nuisances, as scholars seek to communicate the Word of God. Our goal is to enjoy the heart of each translation not to tear it down. Consider each translation as the scholars attempt to tell it well based on their chosen communication style. Essentially, Tell It Well provides a no excuse Bible study because all of the material is in the workbook.
Motherhood is hard. Really hard. That's why we need a well. For centuries, neighborhood wells served as gathering spaces that provided community and relationships for women. This seven-week Bible study offers a modern day "well" for mothers to gather and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation.
Learning and sharing continue to be a fulfilling part of my life. I have taught in elementary and high schools. As a professor of Communication in the University System of New Hampshire, I had the opportunity of initiating a program of international education for college students as well as international teacher exchanges. Through years of international service I had the privilege of meeting and working with children, parents, a number of community leaders and educators in England, Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey, Switzerland as well as the United States. The universal themes of Tara's Tales are the result of learning and sharing with people throughout the world. Tara Stuart I am a graphic designer/illustrator; I have an Associate's Degree in Art, from the Art Institute of Atlanta, Atlanta Georgia. I have been working as a graphic designer since 1983. My task with Tara's fables was to design a platform to visually pull you into Tara's thoughts and vision. I loved working with Tara on this and many of her other fables, and would suggest you read all of her works. Philip Thomsen Tara Stuart has worked and played with children of all ages in many parts of the world, and is co-author of "I Always Knew I Was Different," concerning the study and case histories of gifted and highly gifted children. She has taught in elementary and secondary schools. In 2005, after a number of years teaching at Keene State College in New Hampshire, USA. Tara was named Professor of Communication Emeritus. Extensive travel, work and study in Europe, Asia, Africa and America have deeply influenced the universal theme of Tara's Tales. The encouragement of joy and wonder in children provided the inspiration. "Mountain is the second Tara's Tale to share with children of all ages. Earth's vision and power to change the land is related to the impact which change brings not only to the land, but to the many animal friends of Hill. As Hill evolves into Mountain, he seemingly loses his friends and has to face loneliness. "In Mountain, Tara Stuart has created food for the mind, heart, and soul, as she does so well. As a mother and teacher, I have always read and discussed meaningful stories with my children and pupils. And now - my great grandchildren, once hearing the thought provoking fable of Mountain, are saying, 'Please read it again." Judy Hall Mother and School Teacher in New Hampshire
One of the New York Times' most popular journalists presents groundbreaking scientific news about marriage. And, surprise: It's good news. We've all heard the statistic: Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. It's enough to make many couples give up when the going gets rough, thinking that's what everybody else does. But what if it weren't true? What if, in fact, it's not only possible but often easier than you think to save a seemingly troubled relationship? These are the questions Tara Parker-Pope asked herself after her own divorce. An investigative journalist on the health and wellness beat, she turned to some of the top biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and other scientists for the facts about marriage and divorce. Those facts were more positive and provocative than she'd ever expected, and For Better offers page after page of astonishing, eye-opening good news. Parker-Pope presents the science behind why some marriages work and others don't; the biology behind why some spouses cheat and others remain faithful; the best diagnostic tools created by the most cutting-edge psychologists to assess the probability of success in getting married, staying married, or remarrying. There are questionnaires to uncover potentially damaging hidden attitudes toward spouses. There are tools to show the impact of routine, fresh activity and how small adjustments can make a huge difference. Tara Parker- Pope's genius is for exploring the science behind the big issues that affect our lives every day and translating that science into advice that we can use-every day. For Better is the definitive guide to the most profound relationship of our lives.

Young adults are at a significant and pivotal time of life. They may seek higher education, launch their work lives, develop personal relationships and healthy habits, and pursue other endeavors that help set them on healthy and productive pathways. However, the transition to adulthood also can be a time of increased vulnerability and risk. Young adults may be unemployed and homeless, lack access to health care, suffer from mental health issues or other chronic health conditions, or engage in binge drinking, illicit drug use, or driving under the influence. Young adults are moving out of the services and systems that supported them as children and adolescents, but adult services and systems--for example, the adult health care system, the labor market, and the justice system--may not be well suited to supporting their needs. Improving the Health, Safety, and Well-Being of Young Adults is the summary of a workshop hosted by the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC) in May, 2013. More than 250 researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and young adults presented and discussed research on the development, health, safety, and well-being of young adults. This report focuses on the developmental characteristics and attributes of this age group and its placement in the life course; how well young adults function across relevant sectors, including, for example, health and mental health, education, labor, justice, military, and foster care; and how the various sectors that intersect with young adults influence their health and well-being. Improving the Health, Safety, and Well-Being of Young Adults provides an overview of existing research and identifies research gaps and issues that deserve more intensive study. It also is meant to start a conversation aimed at a larger IOM/NRC effort to guide research, practices, and policies affecting young adults.

Through Tara’s story and other service members and their families stories, we can learn that everyone must balance the demands of the system with the art of caring for oneself. Hyper focused on the failed systems, Tara would soon learn that she was disregarding the fact that her own system was overwhelmed and overstimulated. She nearly became a casualty herself. She would transition from the role of the mental health provider to the patient in a way she never saw coming. As a trained psychotherapist and seasoned Army Officer, she was motivated more than ever to expose the harsh realities plaguing our military today with respect to failed policies, toxic command climates, and a grossly negligent and a failing military mental health system. She was motivated to bring about necessary and everlasting change to our Armed Forces-even if it meant losing her career. She takes a very clinical approach through self-disclosure and through the stories and disclosures of other service members and their family members to capture the scope and magnitude of the problem. She elevates solutions to the senior brass and policy makers within Tracer Patient. Her determination is second to none and her motivations are only well-intentioned. She speaks hard truths to power and refuses to quit until suicide rates decrease and until we fix an epically broken mental health system. She addresses the problem and provides impactful solutions as well as exposes those that have attempted at every turn to sweep the problem under the rug and pretend that it doesn’t exist. The book serves as the mirror to improve insights among the most senior leaders in the institution so that we can then begin our clean-up efforts as an organization. Tracer Patient aims to bring insight, then spark action and to motivate the reader, so that everyone, regardless of what system you may find yourself, to stand up to these things that are happening and to do your part to bring about systemic changes affecting us all. Enjoy Tracer Patient!
Anxiety is real. I cannot diagnose, treat, or examine you for this condition but I can share with you how important it is to know self, examine self, and ultimately treat yourself. My journey with this is new but I can share with you things we can do to improve this condition. For you that don't experience anxiety, believe me this is a good book to relax and enjoy and to just be informed. It is a pleasure for me to share my experience about anxiety with you and it will be with even more pleasure that it can help somebody along the way. Encouragement is needed in all walks of life and sometimes what we need to help us get better is just that, get better! No one knows self better than self. Mental well-being is not talked about or dealt with as it should be. Anxiety is designed to separate us from our spiritual beliefs and create drastic fear but this too can be defeated. Become purpose-driven as this is a big key. Let's stop just existing and operate in purpose! My grandmother used to pray every day and every day in her prayers she included this statement, "Lord, thank you for keeping me in my right mind." If I may have your attention for a while, sit back, relax, and join me in this book as I share my experiences with you and hopefully give someone good conversations, and good energy, and good pointers to share with others or use in our everyday lives.

Teaching and Learning in a Multilingual School: Choices, Risks, and Dilemmas is for teachers and teacher educators working in communities that educate children who do not speak English as a first language. At the center of the book are findings from a four-year critical ethnographic case study of a Canadian high school with a large number of emigrant students from Hong Kong and rich descriptions of the multitude of ways teachers and students thought about, responded to, and negotiated the issues and dilemmas that arose. The solutions and insights they derived from their experiences of working across linguistic, cultural, and racial differences will be extremely valuable to educators in other locales that have become home to large numbers of immigrant families. The book is designed to help readers think about how the issues and dilemmas in the case study manifest themselves in their own communities and how to apply the insights they gain to their own teaching and learning contexts: * Each chapter includes four components: an excerpt from the ethnographic study; an analytic commentary on the ethnographic text drawn from a variety of theoretical perspectives and academic disciplines (including interactionist sociolinguistics, language minority education, English as a Second Language education, critical literacy, anti-racist education, and critical teacher education); a pedagogical discussion; and suggestions for further reflection and discussion. * The book features the use of ethnographic play writing to engage readers with the issues that arise in multicultural/multilingual schools. The author's play Hong Kong, Canada is included in its entirety and is used to stimulate further discussion of the issues raised in each of the chapters. * Although it is organized around two different kinds of schooling dilemmas--dilemmas of speech and silence, and dilemmas of discrimination--everyday dilemmas of curriculum and assessment are also discussed throughout the book. * A methodological discussion of the choices the author made while designing, conducting, and writing up the critical ethnographic case study makes the book useful in qualitative research methodology courses. * A set of strategies and activities is provided for helping students develop English oral presentation skills.

In “Cactus,” a young girl comes to fear the outside world following the freakish, accidental death of her adventure-seeking, naturalist boyfriend in the California desert; in “Wig,” a woman must help her best friend face life-threatening cancer while covering up an unseemly affair with her friend’s husband; in “Fish,” the narrator sits watch over a dying uncle, trying to pay for past sins while administering to his final needs, but distracted by the ravenous fish in the Koi pond near the hospital; and in the collection’s stunning title story, the bonds of friendship and pet ownership collide in the most startling and unexpected ways. With a keen insight into the edges of human behavior and an assured literary hand, Ball is the new book by one of the West’s most provocative stylists.

Anxiety has become a growing topic over the last several years. More and more people have come out to the public, saying that they have or are suffering from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are becoming more common as our society continues to become more and more fast-paced. People begin to automate more actions every day to reduce the amount of brain power they have to use. Thoughts become more automated to save energy; hence nobody even notices why they are having anxiety - they just are. This type of automation can happen to anyone that is living a fast-paced life and is often the source of anxiety. This book is designed to help you manage your symptoms of anxiety by introducing more mindfulness into your life.
