Summary

Cognitive Health explores the profound impact of addiction on cognitive functions like memory, learning, and decision-making. It highlights how substance abuse can alter brain structure and function, hindering recovery and increasing relapse risk. Did you know that disruptions in neurotransmitter systems, such as dopamine and glutamate, caused by chronic substance use, are key drivers of cognitive decline? Understanding these neurobiological mechanisms is crucial for effective intervention.

 
This book uniquely emphasizes personalized cognitive rehabilitation, moving beyond generic approaches to address individual differences in cognitive profiles and substance use histories. It presents evidence-based strategies, pharmacological interventions, and lifestyle modifications to restore cognitive function. Chapters progress from basic neuroanatomy and the immediate cognitive effects of addiction to specific cognitive profiles associated with different substances and finally, cognitive rehabilitation techniques.

 
The book synthesizes neuroimaging studies, neuropsychological assessments, and longitudinal studies to provide a nuanced understanding. It also examines connections between addiction and mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as well as the impact of social determinants of health on cognitive outcomes. This comprehensive approach makes Cognitive Health a valuable resource for psychologists, counselors, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of addiction's cognitive effects.

    Dark, inhuman thirst rages within me—an unquenchable craving for masculinity. 
    They transformed me…but I’m not a normal vampire. 
    I feed on something far filthier than blood. 
    Tonight, the fraternity took me on my first hunt. We crashed the Halloween party and set up shop in the bathroom. One by one, players from the baseball team entered to feed me through a hole in the stall. 
    What have I become? What kind of dark, vile power now festers within my veins?

    Leaders are expected to be strong, dynamic, intelligent, and level-headed. As a leader, you may feel compelled to embody a "superhuman" standard or make personal sacrifices in order to get a project done well and on time. You might ignore the warning signs of mental health issues such as sleeplessness and fatigue. And, to make matters worse, you may rely on unhealthy behaviors such as consuming alcohol to deal with the overwhelming stress of daily life. So, how can you break this destructive cycle, prioritize your mental health, and optimize performance? 
     
    This workbook offers skills and strategies based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to soothe stress, avoid exhaustion, and build the resilience required to show up as your best self. You'll gain a greater understanding of the specific psychological challenges inherent in leadership positions, the emotional toll it takes professionally and personally, and—most importantly—how to manage these challenges effectively. 
     
    As a leader, admitting that you are struggling can be difficult. You may have feelings of shame, or fears of being stigmatized. But when weighed against the increasing costs to your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, you simply can't afford to ignore it!

    Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was a Black political activist, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, which had a following of more than six million African descended people worldwide. Despite his massive popularity, this Jamaican born international leader was wrongfully sentenced to prison by the U.S. government on trumped-up mail-fraud charges. 
     
     
     
    While exoneration efforts began immediately and have continued since his sentencing, a new groundswell movement for Garvey's posthumous pardon is underway—led by his nonagenarian, still-spirited son, Julius Garvey. 
     
     
     
    Edited by Julius Garvey, Justice for Marcus Garvey is a collection of informative essays and personal narratives about the senior Garvey's life and work, demonstrating his essential influence on current social justice movements. The book features contributions from thought leaders and activists, including a foreword by bestselling author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Contributors include Paul Coates, founder/director of Black Classic Press; Goulda Downer, president of the Caribbean-American Political Action Committee; Justin Hansford, professor at Howard University School of Law; and Maulana Karenga, widely known as the creator of the holiday Kwanzaa.

    This piece, which appeared in Outside magazine in 1995 and was originally recorded for "Rough Water: Stories of Survival From The Sea," is about an old man, a Bequian harpooner, who uses a wooden sailboat to hunt humpback whales. The piece is an elegy of sorts--an unsentimental lament for something lost.
