The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Teen Anxiety: Activities to Help You Overcome Fears and Worries Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Move past anxiety and discover what really matters to you. Written by three experts in teen mental health, this powerful workbook offers evidence-based activities grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with anxiety, build resilience, stop avoiding the things you fear, and lead a fuller, happier life. Anxiety is what we feel when we’re scared about some future event that may or may not happen. When you’re struggling with anxiety your mind is trying to protect you from danger, so it’s busy telling you about all the things you can’t do. Along with these thoughts come a host of feelings and bodily sensations—such as sweaty palms, restlessness, lightheadedness, and stomach aches. But it’s not the anxious thoughts that make anxiety a problem. It’s the actions we take, or don’t take, as a result of these thoughts. In The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Teen Anxiety, you’ll find helpful alternatives to the ineffective strategies and habits you’re currently using to deal with anxiety, such as avoidance. You’ll find basic information about anxiety to help you recognize what it looks and feels like, mindfulness tips to help you stay in the moment when you feel worried about the future, and tips to help you connect with your own values so you can start putting the important things in life first.
Ordinary Christology: Who Do You Say I Am? Answers From The Pews - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Ordinary Christology is defined as the account of who Jesus was/is and what he did/does that is given by Christian believers who have received no formal theological education. In this fascinating study Ann Christie analyses, and offers a theological appraisal, of the main christologies and soteriologies operating in a sample of ordinary churchgoers. Christie highlights the formal characteristics of ordinary Christology and raises questions about how we should respond to the beliefs about Jesus held by ordinary churchgoers. Empirical findings have important pastoral, theological, and missiological implications, and raise important questions about the importance (or otherwise) of 'right' belief for being Christian. This book presents a model for how the study of ordinary theology can be conducted, with the in-depth theological analysis and critique which it both requires and deserves.
You Say You Want a Revolution? Radical Idealism and Its Tragic Consequences - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Why have so many of the iconic revolutions of modern times ended in bloody tragedies? And what lessons can be drawn from these failures today, in a world where political extremism is on the rise and rational reform based on moderation and compromise often seems impossible to achieve? In You Say You Want a Revolution?, Daniel Chirot examines a wide range of right- and left-wing revolutions around the world—from the late eighteenth century to today—to provide important new answers to these critical questions. From the French Revolution of the eighteenth century to the Mexican, Russian, German, Chinese, anticolonial, and Iranian revolutions of the twentieth, Chirot finds that moderate solutions to serious social, economic, and political problems were overwhelmed by radical ideologies that promised simpler, drastic remedies. But not all revolutions had this outcome. The American Revolution didn’t, although its failure to resolve the problem of slavery eventually led to the Civil War, and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe was relatively peaceful, except in Yugoslavia. From Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia to Algeria, Angola, Haiti, and Romania, You Say You Want a Revolution? explains why violent radicalism, corruption, and the betrayal of ideals won in so many crucial cases, why it didn’t in some others—and what the long-term prospects for major social change are if liberals can’t deliver needed reforms. A powerful account of the unintended consequences of revolutionary change, You Say You Want a Revolution? is filled with critically important lessons for today’s liberal democracies struggling with new forms of extremism. Daniel Chirot is the Herbert J. Ellison Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Henry Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. He is the author of many books, most recently, The Shape of the New: Four Big Ideas and How They Made the Modern World (with Scott L. Montgomery) (Princeton), which was named one of the New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books of the Year.

A Stranger Like You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: He had been watching her for days. Methodically, he’d researched her background on the Internet. She’dbeen raised in New Jersey and had gone to Yale—according to Variety she was on the fast track andHarold Unger, her boss at Gladiator Films, was paying her six figures for it.Surprisingly, Hedda Chase was not attractive. A photograph revealed the calamity of her looks, a gangly,unsmiling woman in somber clothing, with a bent nose that should have been fixed and a distracting littlemole on her cheek that beckoned a dermatologist. It was a face you might have seen in a history book,chronicling some anonymous woman’s plight in the Dust Bowl, and Hugh could only assume that, in a townlike Hollywood, where most of the women insisted on being perfect, her indifference to her appearance wasdeliberate and may have accounted for the attitude she exuded, a kind of forlorn complacency. She lived ina bungalow in Los Feliz, on Lomita Avenue. It was a one-story Spanish-style cottage, circa 1920s, hiddenbehind tall hedges, with a single garage in the rear. A small toolshed supplied an ideal hiding place, and itwas from inside its sweltering quarters that he’d witnessed her for the first time. At half past six on aWednesday evening in late spring a vintage blue BMW pulled into the driveway and parked in the garage,its flanks buffed to a shine. Chase emerged from the dark garage into the golden haze of sunset, pulling hersunglasses onto her head. She was talking to someone on a cell phone, a stack of scripts under her arm.Just the sight of her made him sweat. In truth, Hugh was accustomed to feeling inferior around certainwomen, his wife being one of the few exceptions—it was something he’d been working on with histherapist. Even his boss at Equitable Life, a consummate barracuda, liked to remind him of his pitiablestatus on the corporate food chain. As Chase passed the shed, he caught a whiff of her perfume, ajackhammer jasmine, and felt the prickly little hairs on his neck go stiff. She paused in the driveway, listeningwith contempt to whoever was on the other end of the conversation. She was dressed in a droopyensemble, a scarf tied around her head in a failed attempt at bohemian flair. It was no outfit for a studioexecutive, he thought. A plane flew overhead, roaring over the orange rooftops. She shut the phone irritablyand went up the steps of the small porch, unlocked the door and disappeared inside. A light came on in thefoyer and then another in what he predicted was her bedroom.It was almost dark. Through the small window of the shed he could see the last of the sun sinking into thebrown horizon. The air began to cool. A car pulled into the adjacent garage and a moment later a manemerged, Chase’s neighbor, and disappeared inside the house next door. The air smelled good, someonegrilling a steak. Hugh slid out of the shed and walked down the concrete driveway. A shoulder-high cementwall ran along the edge of the property, over which Hugh could see the neighboring yards, the lights justcoming on in windows, a trio of children being called indoors for supper. It seemed like Hedda Chase liveda nearly ideal life, he thought idly, one that he would intentionally disrupt, just as she had disrupted his.He grabbed a metal green chair, the sort of chair his grandmother would put out on her porch insummertime, and brought it around to the side of the house where the lights from the kitchen windowstreamed out onto the driveway. He climbed up onto it, wobbly as a surfer, and looked inside. There shestood at the sink—they were facing each other, the thin glass of the window between them—opening a jar ofherring. Gingerly, as if involved in a scientific experiment, she forked the fish onto a cracker, hors d’oeuvresstyle, and ate it then took a glass from the cupboard and filled it with vodka. Sipping her drink, she turned onthe radio. The phone rang and she answered it, frowning. He heard her say: “No, Mother! I’ve told youbefore, I can’t do that. I can’t and I won’t.
Are You Positive - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Tyree Johnson stands accused of first-degree murder in a South Carolina courtroom. His crime? Making love to his girlfriend after he had been diagnosed HIV-Positive. The defense, however, claims there is reasonable doubt that Tyree's diagnosis was wrong-that, according to numerous scientific studies, these so-called "HIV tests" are fraught with errors, and have been ever since their inventor, Dr. Robert Gallo, lied on his patent application. Furthermore, Tyree's lawyer argues that there is no scientific evidence that HIV is transmitted by heterosexual intercourse, and that Tyree's girlfriend died from taking lethal anti-retroviral drugs rather than from any HIV/AIDS illness. Ripped from the headlines of today's newspapers, Are You Positive? Raises serious questions about whether anyone has ever been properly diagnosed as HIV-positive, and whether most people today are dying from the HIV medications prescribed by their doctors.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
