You aren't alone. GAD is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental health issues facing our society today. This chronic condition can cause such excessive worrying that it can be difficult to live your life—and can even manifest in a number of physical symptoms, including sleep and concentration problems, fatigue, irritability, and feelings of restlessness. So, how can you take charge of your anxiety before it takes over your life?

Written by three renowned anxiety experts, the book offers practical exercises and strategies to help soothe your worst worries, fears, and panic.

  Technology's Child - Digital...

  How children engage with technology at each stage of development, from toddler to twentysomething, and how they can best be supported. 
   
   
   
  What happens to the little ones, the tweens, and the teenagers, when technology—ubiquitous in the world they inhabit—becomes a critical part of their lives? This timely book brings much-needed clarity to what we know about technology's role in child development. Better yet, it provides guidance on how to use what we know to help children of all ages make the most of their digital experiences. 
   
   
    
  From toddlers who are exploring their immediate environment to twentysomethings who are exploring their place in society, technology inevitably and profoundly affects their development. Drawing on her expertise in developmental science and design research, Katie Davis describes what happens when child development and technology design interact, and how this interaction is complicated by children's individual characteristics and social and cultural contexts. Critically, she explains how a self-directed experience of technology—one initiated, sustained, and ended voluntarily—supports healthy child development, especially when it takes place within the context of community support.

  On Distant Service - The Life of...

  Susan M. Stein

  On July 18, 1924, a mob in Tehran killed U.S. foreign service officer Robert Whitney Imbrie. His violent death, the first political murder in the history of the service, outraged the American people. Though Imbrie’s loss briefly made him a cause célèbre, subsequent events quickly obscured his extraordinary life and career. 
  Susan M. Stein tells the story of a figure steeped in adventure and history. Imbrie rejected a legal career to volunteer as an ambulance driver during World War I and joined the State Department when the United States entered the war. Assigned to Russia, he witnessed the October Revolution, fled ahead of a Bolshevik arrest order, and continued to track communist activity in Turkey even as the country’s war of independence unfolded around him. His fateful assignment to Persia led to his death at age forty-one and set off political repercussions that cloud relations between the United States and Iran to this day. Drawing on a wealth of untapped materials, On Distant Service returns readers to an era when dash and diplomacy went hand-in-hand.

  The Lifted Veil

  George Eliot

  George Eliot's 1859 novella, The Lifted Veil, departs radically from the grounded realism of her longer and better known works, such as Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. Its tone calls to mind the works of middlebrow Sensationists, like Wilkie Collins (The Moonstone), and of some of the better known authors of Victorian era horror writings, such as Bram Stoker (Dracula) and Mary Shelley (Frankenstein).Eliot here explores mystical themes, considering the world of phenomena which are felt but not seen. Yet in doing so she suggests that the apparent clairvoyance of her main character, Latimer, may in fact be, at least in part, psychological expressions of his early life experiences. This view is supported by the fact that most of Latimer's vision-based predictions of how people will behave and events unfold do not, in the end, turn out as he had foretold.Much of this work's power and complexity lie in Latimer's relationship with Bertha, whom he ultimately, unhappily, marries. Bertha is the one person whose thoughts and feelings he is not able to read, raising the question: What is it about Bertha that renders her inaccessible to his psychic penetration – and what does this tell us about her, and about him.

  Wealth of the Collective Mind...

  For too long, the world has been misled by the illusion of self-made success and individual wealth. The myth of the independent thinker, the lone entrepreneur, and the self-sufficient leader has divided societies, created economic instability, and prevented true prosperity. But what if wealth was never meant to be an individual pursuit? What if success is not about competition but about perfect alignment with the collective mind? 
  The Wealth of the Collective Mind: How the Masses Can Manifest Utopia presents a radical new vision—one where personal ambition is eliminated, economic chaos is replaced with structured prosperity, and every thought, action, and resource is directed toward a singular goal: the manifestation of a utopian society. 
  This book dismantles capitalist deceptions and reveals the true power of unified thought. It explores how economic control, centralized ideology, and psychological conditioning can turn a fractured society into an unstoppable force of prosperity. 
  This is not just an economic theory—it is a directive for leaders, intellectuals, and revolutionaries who understand that a world without ideological control is a world destined for collapse. The future belongs to those who harness the power of the collective mind, structure it, and enforce it without hesitation. 
  Utopia is not a dream. It is a system waiting to be implemented.
