Behavior Therapy - Changing...

Vivian Westlake

Behavior therapy is a transformative approach to addressing some of the most persistent challenges in human behavior. It operates on the principle that our actions, emotions, and thoughts are shaped by experiences and environments. By systematically identifying and modifying these influences, behavior therapy empowers individuals to create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. 
At its core, behavior therapy is rooted in scientific rigor. It draws on established principles of learning theory, particularly those derived from classical and operant conditioning. These foundations provide a clear framework for understanding why people behave as they do and how those behaviors can be reshaped. Unlike approaches that focus solely on introspection or abstract theories, behavior therapy emphasizes practical strategies that deliver measurable outcomes. 
This pragmatic focus has made behavior therapy widely applicable. From treating mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression to addressing behavioral challenges in educational settings, its impact is far-reaching. Behavior therapy has also proven effective in improving health-related behaviors, such as smoking cessation or managing chronic illness, and in organizational contexts, where it enhances productivity and collaboration. Its adaptability to diverse populations and problems is one of its greatest strengths.

A Small Place

Jamaica Kincaid

A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua—by the author of Annie John 
 
 
 
"If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by aeroplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V. C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him—why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen . . ." 
 
 
 
So begins Jamaica Kincaid's expansive essay, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up. 
 
 
 
Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode, A Small Place cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies.

Man: King of Mind Body and...

James Allen

"The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the school-boy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men. Humanity at present is in the painful stage of “learning.” It is confronted with the difficulties of its own ignorance. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces and use their functions and faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the “problems of evil.” To the wise, all such problems have ceased. " 
In this short work, Allen explores the way in which our minds create and interact with our circumstances, travelling from the inner world of thoughts to the final conquest of the spirit. On the way he explores the way in which we create our own futures through the habits we choose, how bodily conditions are no excuse for spiritual weakness, and how true poverty is of the mind, not the circumstances.

The Lost Paratroopers of...

Stephen G. Rabe

The fateful days and weeks surrounding June 6th, 1944, have been extensively documented in histories of the Second World War, but less attention has been paid to the tremendous impact of these events on the populations nearby. The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy tells the inspiring yet heartbreaking story of ordinary people who did extraordinary things in defense of liberty and freedom. On D-Day, when transport planes dropped paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions hopelessly off-target into marshy waters in northwestern France, the 900 villagers of Graignes welcomed them with open arms. These villagers—predominantly women—provided food, gathered intelligence, and navigated the floods to retrieve the paratroopers' equipment at great risk to themselves. When the attack by German forces on June 11th forced the overwhelmed paratroopers to withdraw, many made it to safety thanks to the help and resistance of the villagers. In this moving book, historian Stephen G. Rabe, son of one of the paratroopers, meticulously documents the forgotten lives of those who participated in this integral part of D-Day history.
