This Isn't Working
"...takes the lid off the difficult career questions we all face, and provides pointed advice for finding healthy, empowering work."-Steve Woodruff, Author, Clarity WinsThe Great Resignation, the Great Reshuffling, and Quiet Quitting-clearly something is not right at work. Rates of stress, anxiety, and depression were skyrocketing before the COVID-19 pandemic. Tied to their smartphones 24/7, many people were overworking, measuring their self-worth and value by how busy they were. They compared their lives to the filtered lives of peers on social media. They worked in corporate cultures that didn't support employees, and they undervalued the importance of their own mental and physical health.During the pandemic's height in 2020, many people were forced to stay home. Some found themselves without a job at all; others had to learn to do their jobs remotely. It was during this "down time" that many people realized that busyness, overworking, overconsumption, avoidance, and numbing weren't helping. In fact, the whole approach was batshit crazy.In This Isn't Working! Evolving the Way We Work to Decrease Stress, Anxiety, and Depression, career transition expert Catherine Altman Morgan explains why we shouldn't be striving to get back to "normal," because normal wasn't all that great. Instead, we need to EVOLVE.Through her company, Point A to Point B Transitions Inc., Catherine has worked with many clients who suffer with physical and mental health issues caused by work-related stress. In this book she offers techniques and strategies to rethink how we live and work and start feeling better almost immediately."I need this book. You might too! If you've felt a bit dented, here's the fix!"-Chris Brogan, Chief of Staff, Appfire.com

Surviving Cancer At Both Ends
Powerful poetry from the killing fields of cancer about the nature of mouth cancer and prostate cancer and how one survivor has survived these diseases for eleven years.Neil Vickers, Lecturer in Literature and Medicine at King's College, University of London: 'Cancer at Both Ends has tremendous value. It is rare to find real poetry on these subjects. This is subtle and powerful verse. Really terrific. I admire the strength of character, the humour and the willingness to embrace the very uncomfortable truth that there is no reason why we should not get cancer. Wonderful poetry.'Michael Lee, 2003 Editor of Poems in the Waiting Room: 'Cancer at Both Ends is a remarkable collection - an impressive, stirring record. Medicine has been classically defined as the study of the progress of disease through the morbid anatomy. Bob Crew's work is a healthy response. It is exceptionally strong and moving with a life-giving touch of humour.Professor Michael Baum, Cancer Surgeon and former Professor of Surgery at Kings College Hospital, Royal Marsden Hospital and University College Hospital. 'Wonderful and deeply moving.'Nicholas Kalavrezos, Head & Neck Cancer and Reconstructive Maxillofacial Surgeon, University College London: 'Bob Crew's poetry is very precise and sweet.'James Poole, BA Natural Sciences (Cambridge): 'It's kind of awesome that the Big C creates opportunities for such savage humour and irony. Bob Crew's humour is not just mischievous, it's contagious. He has also put his finger on a very interesting area of intellectual debate - Complexity Theory. The wonder is not why things go wrong, but that they do not. But why does it take only one molecule going awl, or wrong, to cause big bad cancer?'

Fighting Alzheimer's Disease
Three factors have motivated the author to write this book: his intimate 32 years of experience with Alzheimer's disease (AD) victims, the fact that his research revealed that no single brief document exists to guide persons over 60 in developing effective strategies and measures to significantly delay the onset of AD and the fact that only about two percent of those over 60 years of age have any awareness of the life-destroying threat of Alzheimer's. Therefore, the author has put together this comprehensive guide. Considering the explosive projected increase of AD from the current level of 5.3 million Americans to more than 10 million by 2025, there is a critical need to educate those over 60 about this deadly and enormous threat and get them to adopt the strategies and measures in this book to delay the seemingly inevitable onset of Alzheimer's disease.

On Learning to Heal
At thirteen, Ed Cohen was diagnosed with Crohn's disease--a chronic, incurable condition that nearly killed him in his early twenties. At his diagnosis, his doctors told him that the best he could hope for would be periods of remission. Unfortunately, doctors never mentioned healing as a possibility. In On Learning to Heal, Cohen draws on fifty years of living with Crohn's to consider how Western medicine's turn from an "art of healing" toward a "science of medicine" deeply affects both medical practitioners and their patients. He demonstrates that although medicine can now offer many seemingly miraculous therapies, medicine is not and has never been the only way to enhance healing. Exploring his own path to healing, he argues that learning to heal requires us to desire and value healing as a vital possibility. With this book, Cohen advocates reviving healing's role for all those whose lives are touched by illness.

Language is the key to communication and connection regardless of whether it is through digital platforms, body language, or simply face-to-face conversation. Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people seek out the opportunity to learn and teach others new languages; it allows us to connect with more people across the globe. Despite this, it was widely believed in scientific circles that bilingualism was a disadvantage-something that might slow down the developing brain-rather than a social and cognitive advantage. Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing: Does learning a new language help prevent cognitive ageing? strives to examine the recent research that disproves this out-dated theory, with a focus on how bilingualism affects our cognitive ageing. Our discussion begins with an exploration of the history of research on the cognitive effects of bilingualism and ends with a look at the common misconceptions that people hold and how they may be supported by popular culture. Along the way, the connection between specific ages and bilingualism-including when to learn a language-the effects that bilingualism has on the brain, and the most influential studies and scientists that have brought us to these conclusions will also be discussed. Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing: Does learning a new language help prevent cognitive ageing? is a brief exploration that strives to educate the general reader on the history and science behind bilingualism and cognitive ageing.
My Cancer Journal
've been there - I know you are scared. When you are first diagnosed with cancer, processing all of the emotions can be so overwhelming. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, something that really helped me was writing and that is why I created this journal for YOU.My Cancer Journal is a safe space for you to make sense of the chaos by writing down all of your thoughts and feelings, including anger, fear, and disbelief, but also humour and gratitude (I know right - you can't imagine ever feeling gratitude again... but you will).Use this journal however feels right for you. There is space to write, draw, doodle, or stick things in. There are drawings to colour or puzzles to keep your brain occupied in the waiting room. There are diary prompts and mindfulness exercises. There is space for all the practical, admin stuff that will seem really overwhelming, so it's good to have one place to record it all - appointments, questions, symptoms and side-effects - all the fun stuff. Keeping on top of the day-to-day 'stuff' will hopefully allow you time to be creative and be free to express your emotions, both the positive and negative feelings. There is no right or wrong way to deal with a cancer diagnosis, there is just YOUR way.My Cancer Journal would make a great gift for a loved one who has been recently diagnosed. It's nigh on impossible to know how to really help or what to say. By letting them know you care, you are there whenever they need you, you understand they may need time and space to process the devastating sentence 'I'm afraid is cancer', shows how much they mean to you.Everyone's story is unique. That's what makes us special. One story is not more important than another, just different. You can read my story in my memoir But Seriously, Who Knew?
