Heart Breath Mind
Stress is not in your head, it's in your body--this is the key to peak performance that Leah Lagos, PsyD, BCB, an internationally known expert in biofeedback and sport and performance psychology, wants us to know. In this book, she shares with readers for the first time the same program that she uses with top athletes, CEOs, business leaders--anyone who wants and needs to perform at their best. What makes her scientifically proven 10-week program unlike any other is that she recognizes the link between heart rhythms and stress to create specific, clinically tested exercises and breathing techniques that allow you to control your body's physical response to stress. She pairs this training with cognitive-behavioral exercises to offer a two-tiered process for strengthening health and performance, enabling readers to respond more flexibly to stressful situations, let go of negative thoughts and emotions, and ultimately be more focused and confident under pressure.

It is a clear, practical guide for people who make choices that matter and want fewer regrets. You will learn a compact protocol for mindful decision-making you can use in minutes, not months.

The Loneliness Epidemic
We live in the most connected age in history, yet millions of people feel more isolated than ever. Notifications replace conversations, friendships fade under the weight of busy schedules, and communities that once anchored us have dissolved into digital noise. The result is a silent but growing loneliness epidemic-a crisis that affects our health, our relationships, and even the stability of our societies. This book offers a new way forward: treating human relationships not as optional extras, but as essential infrastructure for a meaningful life. Drawing on psychology, sociology, history, and cultural traditions, it reveals how ancient friendship rituals, shared community design, and conscious digital detox practices can rebuild the connections we crave. From the neuroscience of belonging to lessons from cultures that have preserved third places and communal bonds, readers are guided to see connection as something that must be intentionally designed and sustained. Along the way, compelling stories and research highlight how the attention economy and relationships intersect-why constant scrolling leaves us more disconnected, and how reclaiming our focus creates space for real intimacy. Practical exercises invite readers to map their own "connection ecology," experiment with digital boundaries, and design daily habits that nurture closeness. This is not about abandoning technology or chasing shallow fixes. It is about reimagining how we live, work, and gather-so that authentic human connection becomes the measure of a life well-lived. Whether you are seeking to rebuild human connection, strengthen friendships, or design richer communities, this guide shows how to move from a life of isolation to one rooted in trust, belonging, and shared humanity. By the final page, you will carry a practical framework for weaving relationships back into the fabric of everyday life-proving that loneliness is not destiny, but a challenge we have the power to overcome.

If you have ever felt flooded with information yet starved of insight, this book offers a sharper way to think and act. Through field-tested tools, compact stories, and a set of daily practices, it turns vague intention into concrete inquiry so you can move from noise to signal in work and life. Along the way, it restores the pleasure of learning without the pressure to perform. - Learn curiosity as a repeatable habit, not a personality trait - Practise the Socratic method for everyday life to dissolve stuck problems - Build durable problem-solving skills with falsifiable tests and cheap experiments - Use creative thinking exercises that produce ideas on schedule, not by accident - Apply cognitive psychology for personal growth to calibrate confidence and cut bias - Install habits of inquiry that improve meetings, decisions, and relationships Strengthen critical thinking for adults with clear frameworks and humane language By the end, you will keep a personal bank of questions that change your life and a small set of rules that help you learn to think clearly when it matters most. This is an accessible, rigorous guide for thoughtful readers, makers, managers, teachers, and parents who want less performative certainty and more grounded progress-one well-aimed question at a time.
Ageless Thinking
What if the secret to living well past 90-or even reaching a 100-year life-was not hidden in a pill, diet, or exercise routine, but in the way you think? Modern science shows that the brain is far more adaptable than we once believed. Through the power of neuroplasticity, we can rewire our minds, cultivate resilience, and continue to learn, create, and grow at every stage of life. This book reveals how adopting an ageless thinking approach can transform the experience of aging from a slow decline into a sustained ascent. Drawing on cutting-edge cognitive longevity research, timeless philosophy, and stories of people who reinvented themselves late in life, it shows that the real key to vitality lies in training the mind as deliberately as we train the body. Readers will discover: - How to build mental fitness habits that strengthen memory, creativity, and focus well into later years - Why adaptability-not rigid routine-is the true predictor of lasting vitality - The role of purpose and aging well, and how small daily rituals create enduring fulfillment - Practical tools for future readiness, from 10-year thinking to designing a life that thrives beyond retirement This is not about denying age-it is about rejecting the false choice between youth and decline. By cultivating a longevity mindset, readers will walk away with a practical framework to expand their potential, design a meaningful path through every decade, and remain fully alive, engaged, and evolving for a lifetime. For professionals, lifelong learners, and anyone who wants to thrive in the era of extended lives, this is both a guide and a call to action: to embrace ageless thinking and create a future as vibrant as you dare to imagine.

This book makes sure you win first."If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." - Sun TzuHere you will walk deep behind carnivore lines and learn every hidden mechanism: the fragile masculinity, the cognitive dissonance, the tribal signalling, the herd instincts disguised as "personal choice."

No shouting. No moral superiority. Just calm, surgical "compassionate assassination" - until the only possible outcome is surrender to non-violence.

Sexual Confidence Among Black Women
Sexual self-esteem and sexual assertiveness are two constructs that tend to be beneficial for women's sexual satisfaction and sexual health. While these concepts are associated with positive consequences that concern women's sexual self-perception, there are other concepts that may lead to negative consequences. Self-objectification and self-sexualization are constructs that may have positive and negative outcomes for women's sexual relationships. Little research has explored how race impacts these relationships; based on the existent stereotypes of Black women, there is reason to believe that Black women may have more challenges in terms of sexual self-esteem and self-assertiveness.
Childhood Abuse Impact on Sexuality
Emotional fluctuations in at-risk children are then shaped by invalidating caregiving environments through repeated exchanges and operant learning. Invalidating environments can include the rejection or oversimplification of emotions by family members, leading to misunderstood/poorly communicated emotions, and subsequent reinforcement of extreme emotional reactions. Over time, emotionally invalidating environments and poor communication between children and caregivers lead to further emotional fluctuations-now emotionaldysregulation-and thus, irregulated behavior. Maladaptive behaviors (e.g., selfinjury) emerge during adolescence, and pose a significant risk for developing BPD. These learned behaviors function as emotional regulation/avoidance strategies but also exacerbate the risk for BPD by disrupting healthy emotional growth in relationships, leading to interpersonal dysfunction.

The Ailing Science
"The Ailing Science" is an interdisciplinary exploration of the human being through biology, psychology, anthropology, social structures and history. It argues that much of the science used to understand the human mind is incomplete or fundamentally flawed. Most modern psychological theories were created in limited European environments and later treated as universal truths. This book challenges that intellectual heritage and proposes a new, global perspective on the human mind.Drawing on biochemistry, hormone dynamics, neurology and human physiology, the book shows how our thoughts, emotions and identity arise from the body interacting with culture, food, environment and political power. It explores how historical civilizations, including ancient Egypt, already understood the mechanisms of social control, and how similar patterns of influence, manipulation and governance continue in modern societies - transformed in appearance, but structurally unchanged."The Ailing Science" investigates the deep continuity between biology, culture and political systems. It reveals how the mind cannot be separated from the body, how science has often ignored global human diversity, and how modern democratic structures still reflect ancient methods of shaping behavior.This book is a manifesto for a renewed understanding of humanity - scientific, historical, cultural and political. It invites readers to question inherited models, to see the forces that shape society, and to rethink what it means to be human in a world built on both knowledge and illusion."
