  In recent years, numerous studies have shown that bright, charming, seemingly confident and socially skilled teenagers from affluent, loving families are experiencing epidemic rates of depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders-rates higher than in any other socioeconomic group of American adolescents. Materialism, pressure to achieve, perfectionism, and disconnection are combining to create a perfect storm that is devastating children of privilege and their parents alike.In this eye-opening, provocative, and essential book, clinical psychologist Madeline Levine explodes one child-rearing myth after another. With empathy and candor, she identifies toxic cultural influences and well-intentioned, but misguided, parenting practices that are detrimental to a child's healthy self-development. Her thoughtful, practical advice provides solutions that will enable parents to help their emotionally troubled "star" child cultivate an authentic sense of self.

  Regain The Lost Art Of...

  We are living in a time of constant technological advancement. While improving our lives in many ways, technological progress also makes us accessible and so easily distractible and interruptible throughout the day. 
  In this digital age, most of us are struggling with our ability to concentrate and it becomes even more vital to inculcate a practice to get back that lost art of concentration. Concentration is the ability to deliberately maintain the focus on something without being affected by internal and external stimuli. 
  In the material sphere, concentration assists in studying enable faster comprehension, improves memory, helps in focusing on a task, job or goal, and enables us to ignore meaningless and irrelevant thoughts. Now, in the spiritual sphere, the terminology used for 'concentration' is 'Dharana'. Patanjali, the father of Yoga psychology, explains Dharana as "the binding of attention to the object of concentration while excluding everything else". Dharna is the sixth Limb of Patanjali's Ashtanga or the eighth limbic path to enlightenment. 
  In this Book, the meditation practice we are to follow is called Ajapa Japa Dharana. It is a traditional Dharana practice to improve concentration. 
  The word ‘Japa’ means "the continuous repetition of a mantra". When the suffix ‘a’ is added, it implies that the process of mantra repetition becomes spontaneous. Ajapa Dharana is, therefore, a one-pointed concentration on the spontaneous repetition of a mantra. 
  In this, we use breath and mental chanting or repetition of mantras as a tool to develop the concentration of mental energy. 
  Origins of this practice can be found in ancient Indian Upanishads, like Yogashiksha Upanishad. Its reference can also be found in the Gita. 
  The Ajapa Japa Dharana is complete in itself. Through it, one can have a direct experience of samadhi, enlightenment, or everlasting bliss, even without the help of a guru.

  Emotional intelligence is a term or concept popularized by researchers in the 1990s. This concept differs from general intelligence.Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions. People who possess this trait also have the ability to understand and influence the emotions and behavior of others.And with this understanding, some are able to enjoy greater success in life.Five elements define emotional intelligence. These components include:Self-awareness: Self-awareness is being conscious of your own feelings and motives. Emotionally intelligent people often demonstrate a high level of self-awareness. You know how your emotions affect yourself and others, and you don’t allow your emotions to control you.Self-regulation: People with the ability to self-regulate don’t make impulsive decisions. You pause and think about the consequences of an action before proceeding.Motivation_ People with emotional intelligence are productive and driven. You think about the big picture and assess how your actions will contribute to long-term success.Empathy: Emotionally intelligent people are less likely to be self-centered. Instead, you empathize with others and your situations. You tend to be a good listener, slow to judge, and understanding of the needs and wants of others. For this reason, an emotionally intelligent person is often seen as a loyal, compassionate friend.Social skills: It’s easier for you to collaborate and work in teams. You tend to be an excellent leader because of your strong communication skills and ability to manage relationships.Some people are born with the gift of emotional intelligence, but others have to learn it. Either way, the ability to know yourself and understand the emotions of others can have a positive impact on your relationships and help you succeed in every area of life.

  Black Chameleon - Memory...

  This program is read by the author.In the literary tradition of Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House, Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, and Jesmyn Ward’s Men We Reaped, this debut memoir confronts both the challenges and joys of growing up Black and making your own truth.Growing up as a Black girl in America, Deborah Mouton felt alienated from the stories she learned in class. She yearned for stories she felt connected to—true ones of course—but also fables and mythologies that could help explain both the world and her place in it. What she encountered was almost always written by white writers who prospered in a time when human beings were treated as chattel, such as the Greek and Roman myths, which felt as dusty and foreign as ancient ruins. When she sought myths written by Black authors, they were rooted too far in the past, a continent away.Mouton writes, “The phrases of my mother and grandmother began to seem less colloquial and more tied to stories that had been lost along the way. . . . Mythmaking isn’t a lie. It is our moment to take the privilege of our own creativity to fill in the gaps that colonization has stolen from us. It is us choosing to write the tales that our children pull strength from. It is hijacking history for the ignorance in its closets. This, a truth that must start with the women.”Mouton’s memoir Black Chameleon is a song of praise and an elegy for Black womanhood. With a poet’s gift for lyricism and poignancy, Mouton reflects on her childhood as the daughter of a preacher and a harsh but loving mother, living in the world as a Black woman whose love is all too often coupled with danger, and finally learning to be a mother to another Black girl in America. Of the moment yet timeless, playful but incendiary, Mouton has staked out new territory in the memoir form.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

  Dispersals - On Plants Borders...

  A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared futureA seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere?In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
