In this no-nonsense guide for men, psychologist Jonas Horwitz presents straightforward, jargon-free strategies to help you identify and overcome depression, once and for all. The damned thing about severe depression is that it takes over your brain, body, and spirit. It wants you to say to yourself, "There is nothing I can do to make myself feel better. I am helpless in the face of my problems." Even at this very moment your severe depression is whispering in your ear, "This is all bulls@#t." Your depression has lived with you for a long time, and has seldom left your side. It's relentlessly pessimistic, and wants you to believe that your misery will never end. These are the lies your depression is wanting you believe. With this unique guide, you'll learn why it's so important to take your severe depression seriously—just as you would if you had cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or any other life-threatening illness. In addition, by viewing your depression as a separate entity—The Beast—you'll discover how it tries to trick you when you are most stressed to do things that leave you feeling much more depressed. You'll also learn how changing your behavior can actually change your brain chemistry. And, most importantly, you'll find actionable solutions to put The Beast in its place so you can start feeling better now! In order to overcome your depression, you must understand its nature. This book will help you understand The Beast, stop feeding it, and take back your life.

Genre: Religion
ISBN: 1506449441

At the heart of our current moment lies a universal yearning, writes David Zahl, not to be happy or respected so much as enough--what religions call "righteous." To fill the void left by religion, we look to all sorts of everyday activities--from eating and parenting to dating and voting--for the identity, purpose, and meaning once provided on Sunday morning. In our striving, we are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. Seculosity takes a thoughtful yet entertaining tour of American "performancism" and its cousins, highlighting both their ingenuity and mercilessness, all while challenging the conventional narrative of religious decline. Zahl unmasks the competing pieties around which so much of our lives revolve, and he does so in a way that's at points playful, personal, and incisive. Ultimately he brings us to a fresh appreciation for the grace of God in all its countercultural wonder.

On June 9, 1978, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) president Spencer W. Kimball announced a revelation lifting the church's 126-year-old ban barring Black people from the priesthood and Mormon temples. It was the most significant change in LDS doctrine since the end of polygamy almost 100 years earlier. Drawing on never-before-seen private papers of LDS apostles and church presidents, including Spencer W. Kimball, Matthew L. Harris probes the plot twists and turns, the near-misses and paths not taken, of this incredible story.

Almost half a century after graduating medical school, Dr. Louis J. Rosenbaum examines the state of American medicine prior to the enactment of Obama-care. He examines the decline of morality and standards in our culture as well as relevant federal regulations, court decisions, tort law, and media bias, and he describes their adverse impacts upon physicians and patients. He explains how the current focus on controlling costs eclipses consideration of ill-conceived governmental policies. He notes that the free-market American health-care system minimizes delays in providing necessary treatments and achieves cancer survival rates superior to those of countries with socialized medicine. He documents universities’ failure to teach medical students and doctors to control costs by evaluating the benefits and risks of possible treatments. His pragmatic suggestions are based on forty years of practicing, teaching, and conducting research.

"Everything has changed but the way We think." Attributed to both Leslie Groves and Albert Einstein right after the Hiroshima explosion, We humans still think as We always have about pretty much everything. It may be the source of Our present anxieties. Respect and Responsibility, with their sibling Justice, have seemingly become lonesome doves, as near to extinction in some manner as so much wildlife and Our stable atmosphere. Government policy and more rigid and brittle individuals have come together to hamstring Our present and Our future. We yet have a lot to learn about Ourselves. This book hopes to begin a new discussion.
