  Love Drugs - The Chemical Future...

  Is there a pill for love? What about an "anti-love drug," to help us get over an ex? This book argues that certain psychoactive substances, including MDMA—the active ingredient in Ecstasy—may help ordinary couples work through relationship difficulties and strengthen their connection. Others may help sever an emotional connection during a breakup. These substances already exist, and they have transformative implications for how we think about love. This book builds a case for conducting research into "love drugs" and "anti-love drugs" and explores their ethical implications for individuals and society. Scandalously, Western medicine tends to ignore the interpersonal effects of drug-based interventions. Why are we still in the dark about the effects of these drugs on romantic partnerships? And how can we overhaul scientific research norms to take relationships more fully into account? 
  Ethicists Brian D. Earp and Julian Savulescu say that the time to think through such questions is now. Love Drugs arms us with the latest scientific knowledge and a set of ethical tools that we can use to decide if these sorts of medications should be a part of our society. Or whether a chemical romance will be right for us.

  What we do for a living has a massive impact on our life. Our job affects the people we associate with, the way we see the world as well as our financial security and social status. 
  Many people know that they want to change their career situation. But they often don’t know what steps to take to work their way up into a better job. As a result, they find themselves feeling ‘stuck’. 
  So if you’re feeling stuck with your career situation, let me ask you this, think of people who have worked their way higher up than where you are currently stuck at. In all honesty, are they actually more intelligent or capable than you are? Realistically, is there anything they can do that you are unable to learn? 
  Let me assure you, that unless you have some kind of intellectual disability, then the answer is most definitely ‘no’. I am in the business of human potential, and what I see time and time again, is that the mistake people make is to look to their past limitations when determining their future potential. You may not have had the success that these people have had in the past, but there is nothing that you cannot learn to do. You just need to know the steps and, most importantly, the unspoken rules.

  The Optimistic Child - A Proven...

  In The Optimistic Child, Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman offers parents, teachers, and coaches a well-validated program to prevent depression in children. In a thirty-year study, Seligman and his colleagues discovered the link between pessimism-dwelling on the most catastrophic cause of any setback-and depression. Seligman shows adults how to teach children the skills of optimism that can help them combat depression, achieve more on the playing field and at school, and improve their physical health.As Seligman states in his afterword for this edition, "Teaching children optimism is more, I realized, than just correcting pessimism. . . . It is the creation of a positive strength, a sunny but solid future-mindedness that can be deployed throughout life-not only to fight depression and to come back from failure, but also to be the foundation of success and vitality."
