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.

Don't Listen to Phil Hellmuth: Correcting the 50 Worst Pieces of Poker Advice You've Ever Heard - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What if many of the fundamental “truths” you’ve heardabout poker turned out to be false?Recognize any of these commonly held beliefs?• Preflop play doesn’t matter that much.• The key to getting paid off is playing looseso no one can put you on a hand.• Bigger 3-bets get more folds.• Calling is weak.• You have to bet this flop becauseyou don’t want to give up.There is certainly an element of truth to some of thesestatements, but by and large they are big misconceptions.Perhaps this shouldn’t bother us because, as poker pros, weprofit off the mistakes of others. But when we see so manyhigh-level players making so many fundamental mistakes intheir games, and having those moves endorsed by televisionannouncers, it’s enough to make us scream, “Stop! That’snot how it’s done!”This book focuses on correcting the greatest fallacies inpoker. There are an astonishing number of them, providingour common understanding of the game with an incrediblyshaky foundation. This did not come entirely as a surprise.Like many new players, we struggled to sift through allthe competing voices. One author would say this, anotherwould say that. For Dusty, it took more than 3 millionhands to generate an income that exceeded the sum totalof his bonuses.Hoping to give our readers a better leg up than wehad, we systematically take on what we recognize as flawedadvice. The two of us have combed through more than fourdecades of conventional poker wisdom. No one is spared:world champions, on-air commentators or other flavors ofthe month. Not even we are excluded from our criticism.One by one, we challenge each misconception, takingon what we feel are the top 50 ways to lose at poker. Byproving these misconceptions false, we think we benefit ourreaders in such a way that, by implementing these newfoundunderstandings, they can become more profitable tomorrow.We want this book to ultimately function as aFactCheck.org or “MythBusters” for poker. We hope you’llcome to look at us as watchdogs out to protect your interestsby questioning the powers that be.As we did in our previous books, Treat Your Poker LikeA Business and Way of the Poker Warrior, in this book wecover the game’s most frequent scenarios, seeking to providesolutions to situations that arise every 10 minutes rather thanonce a month. Our criteria for choosing misconceptions weresimple. Are they costing people money, and can we prove it?We hope to relate with our readers, letting them know thatthe scenario that’s vexing them now once did the same to us.Unlike our previous books, this is a comprehensivemanual that aims to troubleshoot the poker process fromthe top down, complete with hand analyses and a readerquiz at book’s end.The process of writing this book has led us to thinkabout coaching. Golfers don’t have 10 swing coaches.Baseball players don’t have 10 hitting coaches. Footballteams don’t have 10 offensive coordinators. But in poker,we tend to entertain advice from all comers, which leadsto confusion and a fragmented playing style. Why do wedo this?Profit motive.
Healing Hepatitis C: A Patient and a Doctor on the Epidemic's Front Lines Tell You How to Recognize When You Are at Risk, Understand Hepatitis C Tests, Talk to Your Doctor About Hepatitis C, and Adv - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Get the facts about Hepatitis C Having hepatitis C can be a transformative, extremely tough experience—especially without the right information. Healing Hepatitis C remedies that by combining the personal story of Christopher Kennedy Lawford, who unknowingly contracted the virus during his years of drug use, with the medical expertise of Dr. Diana Sylvestre, who has devoted her career to treating hepatitis C sufferers. Together they deal with the stigma and misinformation, and the fears and frustrations of this illness. Healing Hepatitis C serves as a valuable sourcebook for medical and treatment information: from what hepatitis C is to what it does, and from what to expect during treatment to how to communicate with your physician, to finding the support you need. Most of all, it walks you through the process of facing the diagnosis and treatment head-on, showing you that it is possible to get through hepatitis C—to be cured of it—without surrendering your life to it. Together Lawford and Sylvestre offer hope, humor, and medical expertise to help patients, their friends, and families navigate the numerous challenges of hepatitis C virus education, testing, and treatment.
The Transplanted Executive: Why You Need to Understand How Workers in Other Countries See the World Differently - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: With the passage of NAFTA and GATT, the steady integration of the European Community, and the emergence of promising new markets in Eastern Europe and the Pacific Rim, businesses around the world are globalizing their operations with unprecedented speed. But as executives working in foreign countries have discovered, organizational cultures can differ dramatically from country to country, and management practices effective back home can fail miserably abroad. The Transplanted Executive provides a comprehensive resource for managers of any nationality striving to understand the diversity of workplace values and traditions--and how they can be used to maximize employee efficiency, morale, and the bottom line. Offering sensible solutions to everyday problems, this informative volume shows how employees with different cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds respond to specific managerial techniques. The authors demonstrate, for example, why effective incentive systems in Japan might decrease productivity in United States, and why successful efforts to create team-based cooperation in Russia could alienate rather than motivate workers in England. Each chapter focuses on a different management problem--effective communication, motivation of workers, turning groups into teams, leadership skills, and quality management production--and following each chapter are quick reference charts that neatly summarize the text. The authors also include a table which provides cultural profiles of nearly 50 countries from major business centers around the world. Now more than ever, multinational managers need to be in touch with the range of cultural issues that can affect their overseas operations. With The Transplanted Executive in hand, managers the world over will have a user-friendly guide to understanding and mastering the subject.

You Are Here: A Portable History of the Universe - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe and our relationship to it, as seen through the lens of today's most cutting-edge scientific thinking. Christopher Potter brilliantly parses the meaning of what we call the universe. He tells the story of how something evolved from nothing and how something became everything. What does a material description of everything and nothing look like? What is it that science does when it describes a reality that is made out of something? In between nothing and everything is where we live. Here, for the first time in a single span, is the life of the universe, from quarks to galaxy superclusters and from slime to Homo sapiens. The universe was once a moment of perfect symmetry and is now 13.7 billion years of history. Clouds of gas were woven into whatever complexity we find in the universe today: the hierarchies of stars or the brains of mammals. Potter writes entertainingly about the history and philosophy of science, and he shows that science advances by continually removing humankind from a position of primacy in the universe, but the universe responds by placing us back there again. With wisdom and wonder, Potter traverses the cosmos from its conception to its eventual end—while exploring everything in between.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.
