Sinopse

Hormones And Addiction explores the profound connection between the endocrine system and addictive behaviors, offering a fresh perspective on this complex issue. It moves beyond traditional views of addiction as purely psychological or environmental, delving into how hormonal fluctuations influence cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and the likelihood of relapse. For example, the book highlights how hormones like dopamine and cortisol play key roles in the brain's reward pathways and stress responses, significantly impacting addiction.

 
The book argues for a more holistic approach to addiction treatment, one that integrates endocrinological considerations with psychological and social interventions. By understanding and addressing hormonal imbalances, treatment strategies can become more personalized and potentially more effective. Did you know that sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen also play a key role in addiction vulnerability and treatment outcomes?

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an overview of the neuroendocrine system before exploring the roles of specific hormones and their impact on different stages of addiction. The book's unique value lies in its specific focus on the often-overlooked hormonal aspects of addiction, providing researchers, clinicians, students, and affected individuals with a valuable resource. Through evidence-based research, clinical studies, and preclinical models, it showcases the impact of hormonal therapies and lifestyle interventions.

 
It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, connecting endocrinology to neuroscience, pharmacology, and behavioral economics, enhancing the understanding of addiction as a complex biopsychosocial phenomenon.

    Doctors at War tells the stories of physicians in France working to impede the German war effort and undermine French collaborators during the Occupation from 1940 to 1945. Determined to defeat the Third Reich's incursion, one group of prominent Paris doctors founded a medical network to treat injured Resistance fighters who they then secretly transported to Allied countries to avoid forced labor in Germany. Another team of medics organized a cabal focused on intelligence gathering and sabotage that became one of the largest in wartime France, even after the Gestapo arrested and imprisoned its leaders. Deported to concentration camps, these physicians continued to frustrate Nazi efforts by rendering aid and keeping their fellow prisoners alive. Others joined rural guerrilla camps to care for the young conscripts fighting to block German reinforcements from reaching Normandy after the D-Day landing. 
     
     
     
    These stories add a crucial dimension to the history of Occupied France. Written for both historians and general listeners of World War II history, Doctors at War stands as a dramatic, character-driven account of physicians' courage and resilience in the face of evil. It serves as a window into life under a fascist regime and the travails of doctors who negotiated the terrifying moral labyrinth that was the German military's occupation of France.

    In this book the theory of multiverses, ancient cultures which came from other dimensions, dimensional shifting testimonies, and a lot more are included for your review and discussion.The Multiverse was proposed long ago by the ancient Greeks. In modern times this subject has become very active among physicists. There is also some real modern evidence that the Multiverse exists.My curiosity about alternative dimensions is the result of research for my first book on ancient Ireland which recorded that the Tutha Da Dannan (forebears of the Elves and Druids) who came from “The Otherworld”.I have also collected many testimonies and stories about people who experienced dimensional shifts which appear in this book too.It is also possible that many reports of Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, Dragons, and more all also tied up in the potential reality of the Multiverse.After reading this book you may become convinced that the multiverse really exists and this would explain many of the strange events in our lives. The world we live in is a much stranger place than most of us would believe.

    If you read (or listen to) nothing else on trust, listen to these ten articles. We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you build, maintain, and repair trust, both as a leader and as a company. 
     
     
     
    This book will inspire you to: develop trust through competence, legitimacy, and impact; understand the neuroscience of trust; follow through on your commitments to stakeholders; negotiate better with an untrustworthy counterpart; see your company through the eyes of your customers; and rebuild relationships after a breakdown of trust.

    The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
      
    Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
      
    Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
      
    Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
      
    The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
    If your vision for the future is 
    ·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
    ·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
    ·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
    then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.
