Highly Sensitive People - The...

Vayana Ariz

This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these:
Book 1: The contents of this book will guide you along to a variety of topics related to high sensitivity. They range from the simple basics of what makes someone a highly sensitive person to the connection between high sensitivity and autism, the attraction of narcissists, tips to stop worrying, and how to face rejection without getting hurt. And the last chapter talks about how hypersensitivity can be a hereditary factor people are born with.
Book 2: Are highly sensitive people all introverts?
When can you classify someone as being highly sensitive?
These and other questions will be answered in this clear and concise guide. Aside from such topics about happiness, traits, secret talents, and life vision, relationship tips are given, and common concerns will be addressed. And the last chapter will specifically focus on being highly sensitive as a man.
Book 3: Are you or is anyone you know a highly sensitive person?
In order to answer that question, we have to study the subject, and what distinguishes such a person from others who have “regular” levels of sensitivity. The journey begins in a person’s childhood. Highly sensitive children react differently to the heightened impulses that enter their brains. These stimuli shape their character, their behavior, and their talents.

Addiction Becomes Normal - On...

Jaeyoon Park

Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. 
  
Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an important understanding: increasingly, addiction is described as normal, the natural result of a body that has been exposed to potent stimuli. This shift in thinking suggests that addiction is a condition latent in all of us, a common response to a society rich in thrills. 
  
In Addiction Becomes Normal, Jaeyoon Park provides a history and critical analysis of the normalization of addiction in late-modern American society. By exploring addiction science, diagnostic manuals, judicial reform, and public health policy, he shows how seeing addiction as normal has flourished in recent decades and is supported throughout cultural life in the United States by the language of wellness, psychotherapy, and more. Building on Michel Foucault’s depiction of the human figure, Park argues that this shift reflects the emergence of a new American subject, one formed by the accretion of experiences. This view of the human subject challenges the idea that our compulsions reflect our characters, wills, or spirits. For if addiction is an extreme but ordinary attachment, and if compulsive consumption resembles healthy behavior, then desire is no longer an expression of the soul so much as the pursuit of a past reward. A perceptive work of recent history and political theory, Addiction Becomes Normal raises new questions about what it means to be human in America today.

Gua Sha: Complete Natural Ways...

Regina Williams

Do you know that this ancient Chinese curing technique provides a unique method of better health and also dealing with issues like chronic pain.Gua-sha is a part of traditional Chinese  medication (TCM); it can also be known as "scraping," "spooning," or "coining." Its professionally use as an instrument to scrape people's pores and skin, it is said to have a therapeutic advantage. The procedure of this particular medication has a French name called tribo-effleurage. Gua-sha is an all-natural option therapy that involves scraping your skin layer with a therapeutic massage tool to boost your blood circulation. Gua-sha is usually performed on the back, buttocks, neck, hands, and legs; a mild version from it is even applied to the facial skin as a cosmetic technique. Your specialist may apply moderate pressure, and steadily increase strength to regulate how much pressure you are designed for.In gua-sha, a technician scrapes your skin layer with brief or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the smooth cells, which increases blood circulation; they make these strokes with a smooth-edged device known as a Gua-therapeutic massage tool, the specialist applies massage essential oil to your skin layer, and then uses the tool to scrape your skin layer in a downward movement frequently. Gua-sha is supposed to handle stagnant energy, called chi; professionals believe that this “chi” is responsible for swellings in any part of the body; swelling is the reason behind several conditions associated with chronic pain. Massaging the skin’s surface is considered to help split up this energy, reduce irritation, and promote recovery.
