Synopsis

"Resistance Creates Desire" explores why obstacles and limitations often amplify our longing and motivation. It examines the counterintuitive ways scarcity, prohibition, and difficulty enhance appeal, rooted in our psychological makeup. Delving into principles like scarcity (a cornerstone of behavioral economics), psychological reactance (our resistance to controlled freedom), and the forbidden fruit effect, the book reveals how these drive our decisions in unexpected ways. For example, limited-time offers in marketing leverage scarcity to boost consumer behavior, while censorship can inadvertently increase interest in the banned material. The book uniquely synthesizes insights from psychology and economics to provide a holistic understanding of resistance-driven desire. Beginning with core concepts supported by research, subsequent sections use real-world examples and case studies to demonstrate how these principles operate in diverse contexts. The narrative progresses from analyzing classic experiments to exploring practical implications, equipping readers with tools to critically evaluate manipulative strategies and understand their own motivations. This interdisciplinary approach offers a fresh perspective on human motivation and decision-making.

    A powerful, compassionate guide to finding solace when you've lost someone unexpectedly. 
     
     
     
    The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic, life-altering experience. If you've experienced a sudden loss, your life becomes instantly unrecognizable. In addition to the overwhelming shock, pain, sadness, and grief, you may now feel unsafe in the world, out of control, or unable to carry out basic daily tasks. Most people do not understand what it is like to have a loved one die suddenly or unexpectedly, so it can be challenging to get the support you need. But you are not alone. This gentle workbook can help guide you toward a place of healing and solace. 
     
     
     
    The Traumatic Loss Workbook offers an integrative approach drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotional regulation skills, mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy to support you through the grief process, so you can move forward after the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one. You'll also discover strategies for dealing with sudden "grief attacks," and learn how to navigate common emotional triggers such as holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries. Finally, you'll discover skills to help you cope with the deeply emotional and traumatic aspects of your grief—now and in the future.

    ". . . makes you feel as though a kindred soul is speaking to you." —Readers' Favorite 
     
     
     
    At the age of sixty, Gretchen Staebler promises to spend one year in her childhood home caring for her stubbornly independent ninety-six-year-old mother—sort of a middle-aged gap year. Then her mother will move to assisted living and she will return to her own life. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't go as planned. 
     
     
     
    Rather than a retrospective, this mother-daughter story unfolds in real time with gripping honesty, bringing the listener along with the narrator through the struggle, doubts, and complexities of caregiving and daughterhood—and the beacons of light. 
     
     
     
    Penetrating the fog of her mother's advancing dementia and myriad health issues with humor, frustration, and compassion, Staebler slowly comes to accept and respect the mother she got, if not the one she wished for. In the process, she manifests non-negotiable self-care and learns more than she wants to know about aging, cognitive loss, and the healthcare system. 
     
     
     
    Any listener who is looking for a road map in caring for a family member, has ever had a mother, or is looking aging in the eye will find company on the journey in this candid, multi-award-winning memoir.

    Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from "both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability" (Chicago Tribune). 
     
     
     
    As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. 
     
     
     
    The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

    Archaeologist Jim Leary reanimates the past with this riveting 'archaeology of movement' 
     
    All too often we think of the past as static, 'frozen in time', and indeed movement is not always easy to decipher from the archaeological record. With Jim Leary's expert eye we explore the tangible remains, from fossilised footprint tracks to prehistoric wooden trackways, ridgeways, holloways, droveways, green ways, corpse roads, and Roman roads. Isotope studies and archaeogenetics now allow us see the arduous journeys that people made across continents and oceans, proving that migration has been continuous throughout our past, an endless ebb and flow of populations. 
     
    This new story of our past shows that history was warm and full of life, and no doubt at times cold, dark and miserable - but it was never motionless. Footmarks will make you look at the landscape around you with fresh eyes.
