Synopsis

We are enthralled by stories – tales told around the campfire, acted on stage, written down, filmed, painted, danced and sung. Why? Because we want to be entertained, to be inspired, to escape, to enter virtual worlds, to understand and to relate to others like and unlike ourselves.
 
It’s said that there are only seven storylines, but those seven have generated an extraordinary number of tales because their creators have told them from their own perspectives, their own point of difference.
 
The fourth book in Amanda Apthorpe's Write This Way series, 'Write Compelling Plots’, identifies the difference between plot and story, guides external and internal structural organisation and explains the significance of the narrative arc. You will discover how your central character’s desire, their limitations and their fear entwine to create the conflict that will drive your story. Drawing on the content within these pages, and your own point of difference, you too can create compelling plots.
 
In addition, this book explores the elements of setting and description. Part 3: Editing Toolbox identifies and corrects common editing errors in creative writing.
Disponible depuis: 06/10/2022.

    Psychology of Relapse The: Why...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Relapse is not random. It is a sequence. 
     
    Pressure builds. Standards drift. The mind starts negotiating. One exception becomes reasonable. Then the behavior happens, and shame tries to turn one slip into a full return. 
     
    The Psychology of Relapse explains relapse as a predictable mental and emotional loop, not a moral failure. It shows how addiction, self-sabotage, avoidance, reward-seeking, stress, and shame can pull people back into the same behavior even after they have promised themselves they were done. 
     
    This audiobook teaches listeners how to recognize their personal relapse pattern earlier, interrupt the cycle before action takes over, recover after a slip without spiraling, and rebuild self-control through practical, repeatable changes. 
     
    This Book is for people who want real behavioral change under real-life pressure.

    Distracted - A Philosophy of...

    Although the dangers of texting while driving are widely known, many people resist the idea that phone usage will impair their driving. And connectivity features in new cars have only made using technology behind the wheel more tempting. What will it take to change people's minds and behavior? Robert Rosenberger contends that a better understanding of why this combination of technologies is so dangerous could effectively adjust both habits and laws. 
     
     
     
    Rosenberger brings together ideas from philosophy and cognitive science to leverage a postphenomenological perspective that reveals how our smartphones make us such bad drivers. Reviewing decades of empirical studies in cognitive science, he shows that we have developed habits of perception regarding our compulsive technology use—habits that may wrest our attention away from the road. 
     
     
     
    Distracted develops innovative concepts for understanding technology-related habits and the ways that our relationships to our devices influence how we perceive the world. In turn, these ideas can help drivers be more cognizant of the effect that smartphone usage has on their perceptions, better inform efforts to enact stricter regulations, and help us all to be more reflective about the technologies that shape our lives.

    With an entire genre of self-help books available in the market, this series of talks by the enlightened mystic Osho stands apart. Through his commentary on the tiny but exquisite Song of Meditation by Hakuin, "one of the greatest of Zen masters", Osho speaks on how contemporary man goes through life with the idea that he must be different from how he is and so trying to change.
    Whether the search is for self-improvement or self-realization, Osho simply states that "trying" is what is in the way. Just see that there is nothing to be done. Then life becomes a joy, a dance - and meditation has a song to sing.
    "Remember Hakuin saying, 'From the very beginning all beings are buddhas.' From the very beginning to the very end: in the beginning, in the middle, in the end, all are buddhas. For not for a single moment have you been anybody else."
