By Karla Dougherty. 2008

anxiety, irritability, and highs just intense enough to be embarrassing. Instead of being the life of the party, someone with Bipolar II might be too nervous to go to the party at all.

In Less than Crazy, health writer and Bipolar II sufferer Karla Dougherty shares her story, presenting the first patient-expert's guide to recognizing and living well with this condition. Covering both adults and children, this accessible, all-in-one resource includes information on diagnosis, conditions that may mimic Bipolar II, and treatments.The List: 100 Ways to Shake Up Your Life

By Daisaku Ikeda. 2017
What do we do when we’ve lost all hope? Is hope something found or something made? What can one person…
do against the vast forces that run our world? How do we remain optimistic when the world seems to be falling apart around us? Renowned Buddhist thinker and peace activist Daisaku Ikeda has spent his life wrestling with essential questions such as these. In these intimate essays—selected from more than forty years of his works—he shares his inspirational journey to find answers and hope in troubled times. Growing up a “child of war,” Ikeda shares vivid stories that lie at the root of his lifelong dedication to creating peace: his homes burning down during the Tokyo fire bombings of World War II, his eldest brother’s death on the frontlines in Burma, his encounter with an American airman who parachuted into his neighborhood after his B29 was shot down. Ikeda’s incisive commentaries on terrorism, good and evil, aging and death give us new perspectives on approaching the world with hope. Lyrical reflections on poetry and friendship highlight how such spiritual pursuits are the wellsprings hope in dark times. Each essay suggests ways in which each of us can connect our personal search for strength, wisdom, and hope to the collective desire to bring about a just, humane, and caring society. In Hope Is a Decision, Daisaku Ikeda invites us to dig deeper into our own lives so that we can change the world around us.Brand New You: Applying The Secrets Of Branding To Your Career, Business And Life

By Elizabeth Crary. 2014

to autism, ADHD, sensory issues, or other developmental delays A short course for busy parents, teachers, and professionals, Helping Children with Their Feelings sets parents on a clear, practical path to increase their child’s understanding of his or her own and others’ feelings. Often young kids need remedial or basic help learning about feelings—an essential precursor to effective social relationships and success in school.

The short exercises help build children’s skills and provide realistic expectations for parents to determine whether their child is developing typically or has special needs. Further resources offer more in depth material of a practical nature on each of the steps in building emotional literacy.Raising Confident Girls: 100 Tips For Parents And Teachers

Prime Time: How Baby Boomers Will Revolutionize Retirement And Transform America
By Marc Freedman. 1999
Over the next three decades, the number of Americans over fifty will double, swelling to more than a quarter of…
the population. Already we are living thirty years longer than a century ago, with further gains expected in the coming years. The end result is a new stage of life, one as long or longer than childhood or middle age in duration, and one spent in unprecedented good health. Yet, as individuals, and as a society, we've shown little imagination or wisdom in using this great gift of a third age. Marc Freedman identifies the new longevity as not a problem to be solved, but an opportunity to be seized-provided we can engage the experience, talent, and idealism of older Americans. At a juncture when the middle-generation faces a time-famine, struggling to simultaneously raise kids and work long hours on the job, the older generation is awash in free time, poised to succeed women as the trustees of civic life in this country. In the process they stand to find new meaning and purpose in their lives, and abandon the limbo-like state unfulfilling for so many older individuals. Freedman argues that the aging phenomenon, the massive transformation that many portray as our downfall, may in fact be our best hope for renewal as a nation.21 Days to Master Lightening Up Your Life

By Eleanor Roosevelt. 1960
Las espléndidas páginas de Lo que aprendí viviendo no pretenden ser unas memorias al uso. Tampoco un manual de autoayuda.…
En ellas se reúnen las palabras de una mujer sabia que caminó despacio, pisó fuerte y llegó lejos, sonriendo. «Nadie me hará sentir inferior sin mi consentimiento.» Bastan estas palabras de Eleanor Roosevelt para darse cuenta de que detrás de su sonrisa afable había un espíritu fuerte y combativo, dispuesto siempre a aprender algo nuevo y a luchar por una causa justa. Cuando escribió Lo que aprendí viviendo corrían los años sesenta; Eleanor ya se había retirado de la vida pública y vivía rodeada de hijos, nietos y amigos. Quedaban lejos sus años como primera dama de la Casa Blanca, pero aún le sobraba energía para contar sus experiencias. No le costó confesar que había sido una chica tímida, a menudo ignorante de los temas que se comentaban en las conferencias y banquetes a los que acudía con su marido, pero sus ganas de saber y el propósito de no quedarse atrás le ayudaron a seguir adelante. Con el pasar del tiempo también descubrió que nadie se convierte en heroína de la noche a la mañana: hay que andar paso a paso y echar una pizca de humor a la vida para descubrir que un problema no es tal si lo tomamos como un reto, que nuestro tiempo es valioso y hay que disfrutarlo, y que podemos encontrar un espacio propio aunque estemos rodeadas de funcionarios, cenando con John Fitzgerald Kennedy o charlando con Frank Sinatra.My Cancer Is Me: The Journey from Illness to Wholeness
By Nilima Bhat, Vijay Bhat. 2013
The inspiring story of one man’s relationship with his cancer and how it healed him . . . ‘You have…
cancer.’ These simple words come as a terrible shock. Life, as you know it, changes in an instant and nothing is the same again. Panic and fear overwhelm you as you desperately pin your hopes on doctors and on medical treatment. But this is only part of the story. While your doctors work towards healing your body, you must heal your inner self, just as Vijay Bhat did to beat his cancer. When he focused on himself, Vijay realized that his cancer originated within and only then manifested as a ‘tumour’ in his body. The authors believe that healing requires a ‘person-centric’ approach, where the focus is the whole person and all the aspects of his inner and outer life, rather than an ‘organ-centric’ one, where the focus is merely the disease or affected organ. According to them, cancer is the result of your physical lifestyle along with your mental, emotional and spiritual processes and the ‘stressors’ associated with these processes. For instance, negative thoughts and attitudes are mental stressors while negative emotions such as anger and guilt are emotional stressors. Healing these aspects of yourself is essential for physical healing. The authors guide you through your process of self-discovery, showing you how to find your stressors and teaching you how to recover from them. The book also gives useful information on the biological aspects of cancer and its causes; dietary and nutritional needs of cancer patients; how to maintain optimum immunity; how to confront loss and death; and the role of the caregiver. My Cancer Is Me is a thought-provoking and sensitive guide for anyone who has cancer or is supporting a loved one with cancer.Cincuenta innovaciones que han cambiado el mundo
By Tim Harford. 2008
A través de las fascinantes historias de cincuenta ideas e inventos, el autor de El economista camuflado explica en este…
nuevo libro cómo la innovación puede cambiar nuestras vidas y alterar el complejo sistema económico global. Hay innovaciones, ideas e inventos que permiten curar el cáncer. Otras nos permiten llegar a nuestros destinos de vacaciones mucho más deprisa. Son divertidas. Generan dinero. Y, por descontado, los inventos tienen éxito porque resuelven un problema que alguien, en algún lugar, quiere resolver. El arado, por ejemplo, tuvo éxito porque ayudó a los agricultores a producir más comida con menos esfuerzo. Sin embargo, los inventos configuran nuestra vida de manera impredecible, y, mientras resuelven un problema para alguien, a menudo crean un problema para otra persona. ¿Por qué el código de barras cambió el equilibrio de poderes en la industria alimentaria? ¿Por qué el gramófono incrementó la desigualdad económica? ¿Y cómo el alambre de púas forjó el futuro de Estados Unidos? Las innovaciones también afectan a una compleja red de conexiones económicas. A veces nos complican la vida, otras rompen viejos límites y, en ocasiones, crean patrones completamente nuevos. ¿Por qué, por ejemplo, la píldora anticonceptiva incrementó el número de mujeres en las facultades de Medicina y Derecho? Con el talento de le ha convertido en el más célebre divulgador económico, Tim Harford describe el funcionamiento de la economía a través de la sorprendente historia del plato precocinado, el Estado del Bienestar, la dinamo, la estantería Billy, la propiedad intelectual, el iPhone, las maquinillas y hojas de afeitar, el papel moneda o los paraísos fiscales. Algunas de estas historias se centran en fuerzas económicas vastas e impersonales; otras son relatos del genio o la tragedia de los humanos. Como el intento de desarrollar un «rayo mortífero» que, en cambio, llevó a inventar el radar, un dispositivo esencial para que los viajes aéreos sean seguros. Y todas estas innovaciones nos cuentan una historia, no solo del ingenio humano, sino también de los sistemas invisibles que nos rodean: de las cadenas de suministro global, de la información omnipresente, del dinero y de las ideas. Y, al final del libro, podremos aunar todas estas lecciones para preguntarnos cómo deberíamos pensar en la innovación hoy en día. ¿Cuáles son las mejores maneras de alentar nuevas ideas? ¿Y cómo podemos pensar con claridad sobre qué efectos pueden tener estas ideas y actuar con previsión para maximizar los beneficios y mitigar prejuicios?Pegasus: Leading the Way to Light & Love
