Summary

Autism
is old and unruly. It’s been a part of us since we first left handprints on
cave walls 40,000 year­­s ago. AUTISM AND US covers a long-stretch
view of its neurological history and how society has judged it. With
quotes from old medical records, folk-tale beliefs, and Victorian literature,
the book conjures up the 19th century­ mix of ignorance, cruelty,
fumbling knowledge, and surprising love that led to the first medical
recognition of autism as a social disorder. From that medically significant
recognition has grown our present day neurological and cognitive
understanding. 

 
 

 
Eustacia
Cutler, autism expert and mother of Temple Grandin, delivers a colorful and
reliable account of the pioneers it has taken for autism to gain understanding
and acceptance in families, neighborhoods, schools and job markets. 
Available since: 09/06/2022.
Print length: 186 pages.

    Champion gymnast turned serial entrepreneur and investor Lisa Carmen Wang empowers women to break free of Good Girl Brainwashing—perfectionism, people-pleasing, permission-asking—to become their most authentic and powerful selves. 
“A woman steps into her full power not when she is finally given permission to do so, but when she realizes she never needed it in the first place.” 
Lisa Carmen Wang was raised to be a good girl, praised for her obedience, politeness, modesty—traits that became the bedrock of her personality. But as she grew up, the never-ending pursuit of being the perfect good girl left her feeling hollow, despite her achievements as a champion gymnast, straight-A student, and Ivy League graduate. Her fears of failure and rejection and her worries about other peoples’ opinions held her back from embracing her most authentic and powerful self at work and in life. 
But all that changed when Lisa realized she was capable of so much more; that deep inside a Bad Bitch was waiting to be unleashed. 
The culmination of decades of training as an elite athlete, business leader, serial entrepreneur, and certified executive coach, The Bad Bitch Business Bible is Lisa’s no-holds-barred guide for women who want to break free of Good Girl Brainwashing and take charge of their bodies, boundaries, and bank accounts. Interweaving intimate personal stories with large life lessons, Lisa shows you how to transform from insecure good girl to unapologetic Bad Bitch so you can start earning the money, power, and respect you deserve.  
Whether you’re launching your first business, transitioning in your career, trying to find your community, or making a life change, The Bad Bitch Business Bible is an invaluable resource that teaches you how to tap into the most powerful version of yourself and become the Bad Bitch you were born to be.

    Mental toughness is one of the most significant qualities that separates elite athletes from the rest. It is the inner strength that enables individuals to push through challenges, rise above setbacks, and perform at their highest level despite the mental and physical demands of competition. But what exactly is mental toughness, and why is it so crucial in sports? 
At its core, mental toughness refers to the ability to maintain a positive mindset, focus under pressure, and persist in the face of adversity. It’s not just about enduring pain or fatigue but also about staying resilient when things don’t go as planned. Athletes with mental toughness embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, which is what allows them to keep going when others might falter. It’s a quality that empowers individuals to conquer their doubts, maintain confidence in their abilities, and perform consistently, no matter the circumstances. 
The role of resilience in sports cannot be understated. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. In competitive sports, athletes will inevitably face moments of failure, disappointment, or frustration. A mentally tough athlete doesn't let these setbacks define them. Instead, they bounce back with determination, learning from mistakes and using those experiences to fuel future success. This resilience isn’t just physical; it’s mental. It’s the strength to push past the urge to quit, to stay committed to long-term goals, and to persevere when the outcome seems uncertain.
