The End-of-the-Line Club
A diary of the emotional impact of selling most of your things and moving into a retirement community.In 2023, 18% of the U.S. population is 65 and older. This is us, my husband and me. Way over. Many of us have considered whether we want to radically upend our lives, get rid of most of our beloved possessions, and move into a place that does many things for us. How would that be? You've given up your job, now you're contemplating giving up the rest of your previous identity and moving in with a bunch of old people. Really? When my husband and I made this move, it was not from immediate need. It was anticipating that need. My husband's back was getting worse. We chose to make our life easier. We were asked by many friends what it was like, living in a senior retirement facility. I had no idea how life-wrenching the move would be. I started keeping a diary because I'm a writer; this is what I do.
Dreams And Dream Stories
Dreams and dream stories presents a collection of imaginative narratives that explore how inner vision, symbolic imagery, and spiritual reflection shape an understanding of human experience. The work brings together accounts recorded with care and immediacy, portraying dreams as meaningful encounters rather than fleeting illusions. Through vivid scenes and shifting emotional tones, the book examines ideas related to morality, uncertainty, transformation, and the search for clarity within the unseen layers of existence. The opening establishes the author's belief in the coherence and significance of dreams, suggesting that they offer a pathway into deeper truths that daily life may conceal. As the collection unfolds, it reflects on the tension between fear and revelation, using extraordinary and often unsettling scenarios to illuminate questions surrounding mortality, awakening, and the boundaries between worlds. Each narrative encourages readers to consider how imagination can sharpen awareness, prompting reflection on the forces that shape intuition, insight, and personal discovery. The result is a contemplative exploration of the dream world as a source of guidance, mystery, and introspection.
A Rabbit in the Clouds
Why do we see meaning where there is only chaos?From the ancient myths that shaped civilizations to the modern conspiracy theories flooding our social media feeds, the human urge to believe is one of our most powerful and least understood traits. In "A Rabbit in the Clouds," psychologist Daniel Chabot takes you on a fascinating journey into the hidden architecture of the human mind to reveal why we are so prone to irrational beliefs, pseudosciences, and "fake news".Drawing on decades of research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, Chabot explains the "illusory pattern perception" that makes us see rabbits in the clouds and patterns in random events. Through a rigorous yet accessible lens, this book explores: The Making of Beliefs: How our "System 1" intuitive brain prioritizes survival over truth, creating mental shortcuts that lead to profound distortions of reality.The Social Engine: Why crises like the COVID-19 pandemic trigger a surge in conspiratorial thinking and how the need for cognitive closure drives us toward "ready-made" explanations.Personality and Commitment: The traits that make certain individuals more vulnerable to radicalization and the "escalation of commitment" that turns harmless beliefs into belligerent fundamentalism.The Scientific Antidote: Practical tools and strategies to develop a scientific mindset, enabling you to decode information, identify cognitive biases, and navigate a world of misinformation with clarity.Whether you are curious about the psychology of religion, the mechanics of propaganda, or simply want to sharpen your own critical thinking, "A Rabbit in the Clouds" offers an essential guide to understanding the complex web of interdependent factors that shape what we believe and why we believe it.

Before the Story
Before the Story is not another self-help book. It is an invitation to step out of the invisible narratives that have quietly shaped your life-and to meet yourself before those narratives ever began.Long before we choose who we become, a story is written for us. It forms through expectation, conditioning, praise, criticism, and survival. Over time, that story hardens into identity. We live inside it, protect it, defend it-often without realizing it was never fully ours.With clarity, depth, and rare emotional intelligence, Cherie Bassiri guides readers back to the moment before that story took hold. This book does not ask you to fix yourself, improve yourself, or become someone new. Instead, it reveals something far more powerful: the recognition that nothing essential was ever missing.Blending insight from psychology, mindfulness, and lived human experience, Before the Story gently dismantles the beliefs we mistake for truth and the roles we mistake for self. It invites a quieter, deeper kind of awakening-one rooted in awareness rather than effort, and freedom rather than striving.This is a book for those who sense there is more beneath their thoughts, patterns, and inner noise. For those who have done the work, read the books, and still feel something unresolved. And for anyone ready to stop searching for answers and begin remembering what was always there.Before the Story does not offer a method. It offers a return.

We have optimized profiles, carefully curated photos, and text conversations that go on for weeks - and somehow, it's still not working. Because no algorithm teaches you how to hold someone's gaze.

How to start a conversation without wanting to disappear immediately afterward. How to actually listen - which remains, to this day, the single most attractive thing a person can do. How to handle rejection without it ruining your entire weekend. How to recognize when a door is open and when it's firmly shut. And how to understand that every awkward moment, every weird exchange, every catastrophic first date is actually your best story at the next dinner party.Because the person you're looking for doesn't live inside your phone.They're at the coffee shop in your neighborhood. The bookstore you always go to on Saturdays. The bar where someone just freed up the stool right next to them.This book doesn't promise you love. It promises you something better: the confidence and the tools to go looking for it.For everyone who has ever thought they were better at texting than talking. This one's for you.

The Bell
In a coastal village where memory is managed as carefully as stone walls and weathered paths, an old church bell hangs in its tower - intact, visible, and never rung.When Mara returns after her mother's death, she expects mourning and distance. Instead, she encounters a community structured around an absence: a silence that has hardened into custom, a bell whose stillness has become unquestioned authority. No one speaks of why it was never rung. No one needs to. The village has learned how to live without asking.As Mara sorts through her mother's belongings, she begins to understand the cost of that quiet. Her mother was not simply a caretaker of tradition, but its final restraint - a woman who chose mercy once, and left others to live with the consequences. What the bell withheld spared the village in the moment, but required years of unexamined obedience in return.Mara does not arrive to expose a secret or restore a ritual. She does something more dangerous: she listens. And in listening, she unsettles the careful balance that has kept the village orderly and unresolved. Truth surfaces slowly, not as confession or revelation, but as pressure - in what people stop avoiding, in what children echo without knowing why, in what can no longer be left unnamed.The Bell is a quiet novel about restraint, inheritance, and the moment when silence stops being protection and becomes a choice. It asks what happens when a community is no longer told what to believe - and must decide, together, how to live with what it already knows.

At Your Side
Take a closer look at the unpredictable world of elder care, and you will see people who cannot speak suddenly find their voices. They will not sit together but will happily sing together. They will not look at each other but share a prolonged hug after the meal is done. Take a closer look and you will see the beauty and the dignity of those in their final days. In these sixteen vignettes, Forbes moves beyond the clinical charts and first impressions. She stands, sits and squats at the side of her elderly charges, in their homes, in hospitals and everywhere in between. Blending her love of the elderly with that of writing, the author honours the intimate moments of humour and humanity that arise when caring for society's sometimes forgotten treasures. Moving beyond the power of the vignettes, Forbes then brings together the threads of aging and humility as she seamlessly weaves in interviews, diverse sources and imagined lectures.

It will appeal to anyone who has cared for others, who seeks to, or expects to do so in future.
Raising a Child with Complex PTSD
Your child is safe now. So why does everything still feel like a crisis? You changed the environment. You provided the stable home, the warm meals, the consistent bedtime. You did everything the books and the caseworkers told you to do. And your child still rages. Still shuts down. Still pushes you away at the exact moment they need you most. The parenting strategies that work for other families have failed in yours, and no one seems able to explain why. The answer is Complex PTSD, a condition recognized by the World Health Organization that develops when a child endures prolonged, repeated trauma during the years their brain is still forming. It rewires the nervous system, distorts the child's sense of self, and turns the very relationships meant to heal them into sources of fear. A guide built for the parents no one prepared This book translates the neuroscience of developmental trauma into language parents can use at the kitchen table, in the school meeting, and during the 2 a.m. meltdown. It explains why your child's brain responds to safety as though it were danger, why traditional discipline makes the behavior worse, and what to do instead. Every chapter is grounded in peer-reviewed research and illustrated with composite case studies drawn from real family experiences. Practical tools for every stage of the journey Inside you will find a complete breakdown of trauma-informed parenting strategies including the PACE model, co-regulation techniques, and felt safety interventions organized by age group. The book provides scripts for the ten most common daily flashpoints, a step-by-step guide to navigating IEPs, 504 Plans, and school advocacy, and a parent-friendly decoder for the most common CPTSD behaviors including rage, dissociation, fawning, food hoarding, lying, and regression. Therapy, medication, and systems navigation demystified A full section covers evidence-based treatments (TF-CBT, EMDR, ARC Framework, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, DBT for teens), how to evaluate therapists, when medication helps and when it harms, and how to fight insurance denials. Additional chapters address crisis response and safety planning, sibling impact, co-parenting alignment, child welfare navigation, and caregiver burnout prevention. Appendices include ready-to-use templates Trigger mapping worksheets, a family crisis safety plan, a therapist screening checklist, an IEP accommodation request letter, a photocopiable letter to your child's teacher, a caregiver stress self-assessment, and a curated directory of organizations, hotlines, and therapeutic provider directories are all included. This is the book for the parent who has been told their child just needs firmer boundaries, the parent sitting in the school parking lot after another call from the principal, and the parent who loves fiercely and still feels like they are failing. The science says your child's brain can change. This book shows you how to be the reason it does.

At Your Side
Take a closer look at the unpredictable world of elder care, and you will see people who cannot speak suddenly find their voices. They will not sit together but will happily sing together. They will not look at each other but share a prolonged hug after the meal is done. Take a closer look and you will see the beauty and the dignity of those in their final days. In these sixteen vignettes, Forbes moves beyond the clinical charts and first impressions. She stands, sits and squats at the side of her elderly charges, in their homes, in hospitals and everywhere in between. Blending her love of the elderly with that of writing, the author honours the intimate moments of humour and humanity that arise when caring for society's sometimes forgotten treasures. Moving beyond the power of the vignettes, Forbes then brings together the threads of aging and humility as she seamlessly weaves in interviews, diverse sources and imagined lectures. These extra layers bring depth and understanding to what it means to age -- and to serve others. At Your Side: A Collection of Final Days offers valuable insights and reflections on lives lived and the impacts that anyone can have on others at any stage of life. It will appeal to anyone who has cared for others, who seeks to, or expects to do so in future.

Hauntings Resolved
For those seeking answers to the age-old question of whether there is life after death and what those who have passed from this physical realm to another are doing in that afterlife, this book gives encouragement, comfort, truth, and spiritual guidance.

Her methods are described in detail to help the reader rethink his/her attitude about life and death, as well as providing invaluable advice on how one can be open to receiving guidance from and giving help to the "Spirit Helpers." This beautiful narration offers an explanation, dispels fears about death, and gives help to those who Barber refers to as the "sensitives." After reading, you'll master your own mental, emotional and physical planes of existence, and in doing so, bring peace to others. Penny Barber is a writer, teacher, healer and medium.

Self-Working
Self-Working: A Novel and Integrative Approach to Psychotherapyby Reza Johari FardOver the past century, psychotherapy has evolved through diverse schools of thought-each focusing on specific dimensions of human experience, from unconscious processes and emotional regulation to cognition and interpersonal relationships. While these approaches have significantly advanced clinical practice, the challenge of theoretical integration remains unresolved.Self-Working offers a novel and coherent integrative model designed to bridge this gap. Grounded in systems thinking and informed by contemporary psychotherapy integration, this model provides a structured yet flexible framework for understanding psychological growth across time.At the core of the Self-Working approach lies a three-dimensional therapeutic pathway: Being-on-This - working with the individual's past, personality, and foundational psychological structures.Becoming-to-That - actively constructing the future through values, strengths, and personal meaning.Life Theme - cultivating conscious, responsible, and creative living in the present moment.Unlike symptom-focused or single-school therapies, Self-Working conceptualizes psychotherapy as a lifelong educational and developmental process, integrating body, emotion, cognition, and attention into a unified clinical framework.This book is designed not only as a theoretical contribution, but as a practical clinical guide-offering therapists, researchers, and graduate students a comprehensive model for working with clients in a holistic, future-oriented, and culturally sensitive manner.Key FeaturesA fully integrative psychotherapy model grounded in systems thinkingCombines psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic, and experiential perspectivesApplicable to clinical practice, psychotherapy training, and academic researchIncludes conceptual frameworks, therapeutic structure, and clinical rationaleSuitable for psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and mental health studentsWho This Book Is ForClinical psychologists and psychotherapistsGraduate and doctoral students in psychology and counselingResearchers interested in integrative and systemic modelsMental health professionals seeking a coherent theoretical framework beyond single-school approachesSelf-Working represents the foundation of an emerging psychotherapy framework developed and implemented in clinical and academic settings over more than a decade.

Through the Eyes of Love
Through the Eyes of Love is a grounded, soul-forward exploration of how perception shapes reality and how small inner shifts can alter the pattern of an entire life.When the world feels fractured, it's easy to assume the problem is "out there." This book offers a different premise: the outer world mirrors the geometry of the inner field. Through the lens of fractal consciousness, Ferdinand Mels invites readers to recognize the repeating patterns that show up as struggle, conflict, emotional looping, and spiritual amnesia, then learn how to change the pattern at its source.Blending spiritual insight with practical coherence, the book moves from personal fractals to relational dynamics and collective spirals, revealing how struggle forms, how it repeats, and how it dissolves when perception becomes heart-based and present. Along the way, readers are guided toward the "shift point," the subtle moment where a new spiral begins: a choice, a breath, a return to clarity that rewrites the trajectory of the whole pattern.This is not a promise of perfection or a performance of healing. It is an invitation to become the signal, tune the receiver, and learn to see and live through the eyes of love.
