Driven
To Distraction Edward M. Hallowel, MD and John J. Ratey, MD
This
book helped us to view our child's distractibility and impulsivity
in a very different light. We had spent many years "blaming
the victim" for not being motivated and not trying
hard enough. Our child may have been driven to distraction
and we had been driven to the brink of a benevolent dictatorship.
This book helped to change our views.

You
know where you want to be, but you have no clue how to get
there. You know exactly what you want in life, but what
you want is nowhere in sight. Perhaps your vision is unclear,
your purpose still undefined. On top of it all, your relationships,
particularly your romantic relationships, are failing. If
these scenarios feel familiar way down in the deepest part
of your gut, then you, my dear, are smack dab in the middle
of the meantime. The best-selling author of Acts of Faith
and The Value in the Valley -- whose books have empowered
countless women -- now reaches out to anyone who yearns
for love, in a book about relationships that can help them
reach new levels of awareness, spiritual growth, and fulfillment.

for women around the world. In this insightful and eloquent
book, Sarah Ban Breathnach explores the nine stages necessary
to living authentically: Sensing, Surviving, Settling, Stumbling,
Selling Out, Starting Over, Searching, Striving, and finally,
Something More.
Spirituality
of Imperfection Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham
Who
are we? Why so we so often fall short of our goals for ourselves
and others? By seeking to understand our limitations and
accept the inevitability of failure and pain, we begin to
ease the hurt and move toward a greater sense of serenity
and self-awareness. The Spirituality Of Imperfection brings
together stories from many spiritual and philosophical paths,
weaving past traditions into a spirituality and a new way
of thinking and living that works today.
For
all of us recovering from codependency, especially those
working the Twelve Steps, TALK, TRUST, AND FEEL offers reinforcement
and inspiring perspectives from 10 of Hazelden's leading
voices. Their wise observations help us let go of our desire
to change the other person and take responsibility for ourselves
as we continue our journey toward wholeness.
Worry:
Controlling It and Using It Wisely Dr. Edward M. Hallowell
The
author explores every degree of worry, from healthy worry
to hard-core paranoia. " Not all worry is bad,"
says Hallowell. One must distinguish between "wise
worry that alerts you to real danger" and "unwise
worry that serves no useful purpose and can hamper your
life." In Worry, his latest and most engaging book,
the Harvard Medical School senior lecturer examines "toxic"
worry and its underlying causes and manifestations, and
he offers various means for regaining control.

couples experience can stand in the way of healing the relationship.
The
author helps you understand how and why you fall into love
and sex addiction and provides ways to identify and get
out of it. Sort out the unhealthy, addictive elements in
your relationship, while you learn new things about accepting
yourself and others.
