  Over motivational messages? Sick AF of inspirational quotes? Done with the shiny happy bad advice that gets you nowhere? Well, heads up: you’re about to get a shitload of Good Advice. 
  In Bad Advice, relationship expert Dr. Venus Nicolino—a.k.a. Dr. V—takes a blowtorch to the shrink-wrapped, “feel good” BS that passes for self-help these days. 
  When you’re heartbroken, what do you hear? You can’t love anyone until you love yourself. When someone’s hurt you? Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission. When you’re just a little too positive? Expectations lead to disappointment. 
  Pop culture noise gives Bad Advice the varnish of truthiness and inspiration.  But it’s not truth; it’s not inspiration. It’s bullshit. And at its root, all Bad Advice operates off the same lie: Emotions are optional. In Bad Advice, Dr. V delivers a bracing truth serum, in the form of Good Advice—an antidote to the bullshit, from “Just Be Yourself” to “Live Each Day Like It’s Your Last,” that teaches you to live your life in a way that honors who you are, what you need, and how you feel. 
  Smart and irreverent, Dr. V fuses the brains and insight of a nerdy Ph.D. with the heart of a doting Italian Mother and the artful profanity of a Philly trucker. Dr. V’s signature combination of humor, hard science, and heart make Bad Advice an iconoclastic course-correction like no other. A fiercely sharp wake-up call that tackles some of self-help’s most damaging truisms, Bad Advice is a never shy guide to tapping into your full potential.

  A traumatic brain injury is a life-changing event, affecting an individual's lifestyle, ability to work, relationships—even personality. Whatever caused it—car crash, work accident, sports injury, domestic violence, combat—a severe blow to the head results in acute and, often, lasting symptoms. People with brain injury benefit from understanding, patience, and assistance in recovering their bearings and functioning to their full abilities.In The Traumatized Brain, neuropsychiatrists Drs. Vani Rao and Sandeep Vaishnavi—experts in helping people heal after head trauma—explain how traumatic brain injury, whether mild, moderate, or severe, affects the brain. They advise listeners on how emotional symptoms such as depression, anxiety, mania, and apathy can be treated; how behavioral symptoms such as psychosis, aggression, impulsivity, and sleep disturbances can be addressed; and how cognitive functions like attention, memory, executive functioning, and language can be improved. They also discuss headaches, seizures, vision problems, and other neurological symptoms of traumatic brain injury.By stressing that symptoms are real and are directly related to the trauma, Rao and Vaishnavi hope to restore dignity to people with traumatic brain injury and encourage them to ask for help.

  Do you want to learn how to survive the hell of a narcissistic family, overcome toxic parents' hurtful legacy, and reclaim your emotional autonomy? If yes, then keep reading! 
  Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not a mental illness or disease. It is a personality disorder characterized by self-centeredness, lack of empathy for others, and an exaggerated sense of one's own importance. People with NPD tend to be extremely competitive, are exploitative of others in their personal lives and the workplace, and maybe envious of others or believe that others are envious of them. 
  Children of narcissistic parents often grow up depressed, with low self-esteem, and feel unworthy and unloved. 
  Narcissistic parents brainwash their children with love and attention, but they constantly put their children down, belittle them and oppress them. The reality is that narcissists effectively deny a child's entitlement to a mother's affections, her approval, her appreciation of her child as well as her love. 
  This guide will show you a set of clinical tools and psychological techniques that will empower you to take back control of your life. You will be able to learn how to resist the manipulation tactics of a narcissistic parent and be more assertive. Also, it will help you cope with feelings of worthlessness that come from being raised by a narcissist who is always putting you down.

  33 Incredible True Stories of...

  I have my own survival stories and maybe this is part of the reason why all these other stories interest me so much. 
  Everyone loves to learn about survival stories because it confirms the importance of the human spirit to live through trying and deadly situations. 
  I’ve included thirty three true life stories in this book. The criteria was that the persons in these events had to make a conscious decision to live. They decided not to give up and some did truly incredible things to survive. 
  We need to ask ourselves could we do some of the things they did to survive. For example, how many of us could cut off a hand to live if we were trapped in the wilderness? 
  How many of us could survive a raft in the sea for a month to then be put into a POW prison and survive harsh treatment and torture there. 
  These people have all illustrated the power of the human spirit to live through these experiences. And these experiences made them more confident people and better able to live through difficult situations in the future. 
  These stories are divided up into six categories: 
  ·        Survival In War 
  ·        Survival in the Wilderness and Mountains 
  ·        Survival in the Ocean 
  ·        Survival in the Arctic and Antarctic 
  ·        Surviving the Desert 
  ·        More Survival Stories for Ones which don’t fit a category
