Sinopsis

Dr. Drew Pinsky is best known as the cohost of the long-running radio advice program Loveline. But his workday is spent at a major Southern California clinic, treating the severest cases of drug dependency and psychiatric breakdown. In this riveting book, Pinsky reveals the intimate and often shocking stories of his patients as they struggle with emotional trauma, sexual abuse, and a host of chemical nemeses: alcohol, marijuana, Ecstasy, heroin, speed, cocaine, and prescription drugs. At the center of these stories is Pinsky himself, who immerses himself passionately, almost obsessively, in his work. From the sexually compulsive model to the BMW-driving soccer mom, Cracked exposes, in fast-moving, powerful vignettes, the true scope and severity of addiction, a nationwide epidemic.

    PTSD - A Short History

    Post-traumatic stress disorder — and its predecessor diagnoses, including soldier's heart, railroad spine, and shell shock — was recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the latter part of the 19th century. The psychic impacts of train crashes, wars, and sexual shocks among children first drew psychiatric attention. Later, enormous numbers of soldiers suffering from battlefield traumas returned from the world wars.It was not until the 1980s that PTSD became a formal diagnosis, in part to recognize the intense psychic suffering of Vietnam War veterans and women with trauma-related personality disorders. PTSD now occupies a dominant place in not only the mental health professions but also major social institutions and mainstream culture, making it the signature mental disorder of the early 21st century.In PTSD, Allan V. Horwitz traces the fluctuations in definitions of and responses to traumatic psychic conditions. Arguing that PTSD, perhaps more than any other diagnostic category, is a lens for showing major historical changes in conceptions of mental illness, he surveys the conditions most likely to produce traumas, the results of those traumas, and how to evaluate the claims of trauma victims.

An empowered executive can make extraordinary things happen if they choose to.But where does one begin? Over decades spent in global management, Mosongo Moukwa saw how conventional models equating results with leadership limited an organization’s potential.

Demonstrating the power of human connection and belief in our ability to achieve even the most challenging goals, Mosongo equips his readers with the skills to engage, empower, and mobilize employees to make the extraordinary difference and Be a Leader of Significance.

    David Smick keeps a low profile, but experts consider him one of the most insightful financial market strategists in the world. For more than two decades, he has conferred with central bankers and advised top Wall Street executives and investors. 
     
    The World Is Curved picks up where Thomas Friedman's The World Is Flat left off, taking listeners on an insider's tour through the private offices of central bankers, finance ministers, even prime ministers.  Smick reveals how today's risky environment came to be-and why the mortgage mess is a symptom of potentially far more devastating trouble. He wrestles with the two questions on everyone's mind: How bad could things really get in today's volatile economy? And what can we do about it? 
     
    The World Is Curved is the rare work that speaks simultaneously to the Wall Street, Washington, and London elite, yet its apt storytelling shows Main Street listeners how to survive in these turbulent times. 
     
    "The World Is Curved is…essential…for those who wish to understand the workings, politics, and distresses of the global financial system…insightful and entertaining…" -Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board; author of The Age of Turbulence 
     
    "David Smick's probing insights in The World Is Curved stem from an extraordinary vantage point few observers can match." -George Soros, Soros Fund Management
