From the Preface: My goal in this revised and updated edition of It's Not as Bad as It Seems is to offer skills which you can use to make healthier choices, to have more control over how you think, feel, and act, and to generally develop what Edward Garcia, a therapist in Georgia, once called emotional muscle. Since the earlier editions of this book, I have come to think of myself as a coach or personal trainer for emotional muscle. Getting our thinking in shape does not require mumbo jumbo, psychobabble, or years and years of endless discussions of childhood events. Rather, it is a process just like getting our bodies in shape that requires skills and practice. Now that I have been working in the field of psychology and therapy for more than twenty years, I am convinced more than ever that the road to emotional muscle, wellness, contentment, and happiness can be found in the tools offered in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) which is the foundation for this book. If you are ready to get in shape and create emotional muscle, then I have made every effort in this edition to offer you the training and equipment to do so. You will learn about those colorful sharks that swim around in our heads and largely cause emotional upset and behavioral problems (for example, procrastination, overeating, drinking too much, not exercising, and so on). More importantly, you will learn how to put those sharks in their place and take charge of your thinking, feeling, and behavior to achieve greater happiness and effectiveness in daily living. You can learn to be your own therapist in order to cope more effectively with daily stress. You will be presented with examples which illustrate just how the change process works within therapy. And perhaps best of all, you can learn how to empower yourself in many ways and stop being a victim of your past as you learn that today you can control your outlook, your thinking, and your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. So, now it's time for you to get started. I wish you the best of success as you get your thinking in shape and develop your new emotional muscle.

"The purpose of this book is to encourage and give hope to anyone that has experienced or is going through a rough time. It was not the experiences that brought each character through that determined the outcomes, but how each character handled the situations ... All things are possible through Jesus Christ"--Page ix.

My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

This is a reissue of the novel inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream: We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold... And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS NOW A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING AMY ADAMS, GLENN CLOSE, AND GABRIEL BASSO "You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist "A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal "Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

The inspiration for the film starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, this resonant story of a mother’s unsettling quest to understand her teenage son’s deadly violence, her own ambivalence toward motherhood, and the explosive link between them remains terrifyingly prescient. Eva never really wanted to be a mother. And certainly not the mother of a boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much–adored teacher in a school shooting two days before his sixteenth birthday. Neither nature nor nurture exclusively shapes a child's character. But Eva was always uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood. Did her internalized dislike for her own son shape him into the killer he’s become? How much is her fault? Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with Kevin’s horrific rampage, all in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. A piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence and responsibility, a book that the Boston Globe describes as “impossible to put down,” is a stunning examination of how tragedy affects a town, a marriage, and a family.
