  Listen, your mind isn't broken - it's just doing what minds do when they get stuck in rigid, irrational thinking patterns. After decades of clinical practice, I've seen how OCD operates: it's not some mysterious force, but a pattern of demanding absolute certainty in an uncertain world. 
  This book cuts through the mystification and gets to what works: learning to accept uncertainty, challenging perfectionist demands, and building tolerance for discomfort. No sugar-coating, no magical thinking - just evidence-based techniques for reducing your suffering. 
  You'll learn to spot the difference between healthy concerns and obsessive thinking, develop more flexible responses to triggering situations, and most importantly, stop fighting with your own thoughts. Because here's the reality: the more you desperately try to control your thoughts, the more they control you. 
  Let's get to work on transforming your relationship with uncertainty. It won't always be comfortable, but neither is living under OCD's thumb.

  Made to Live depicts a physician’s journey to save lives. Dr. Paul Saba begins his story with the battle to save the life of his baby girl, Jessica, who was born with a severe congenital cardiac malformation. He describes the challenges of facing difficult diagnoses through both his personal experiences and those of his patients. This book debunks the myths of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba’s battle has taken him to the Canadian courts, where he has been silenced from challenging Canada’s euthanasia laws. He has been forbidden from utilizing the Canadian Constitution or presenting his arguments in court to oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba believes no one can know what the future holds. Hope and loving support can overcome many obstacles in life’s journey. In the end, we are all “made to live,” as his daughter Jessica inscribed on one of her paintings at seven years old.

  Narcissism - The Rise of...

  Narcissism is a complex and multifaceted personality trait, often characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a strong need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. While the term "narcissism" is often used casually to describe someone who appears vain or self-centered, its psychological meaning is more intricate and refers to a spectrum of behaviors that can range from mild self-interest to full-blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). 
  At its core, narcissism is a defense mechanism that helps individuals maintain an exaggerated sense of self-worth. This inflated self-image may stem from deep insecurities or past trauma, and it can be a way for individuals to shield themselves from feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. Narcissists often rely on external validation—through admiration, praise, and attention—to affirm their worth, which means their sense of self is fragile and dependent on how others perceive them. 
  A key component of narcissism is the lack of empathy. Narcissists struggle to recognize or care about the feelings and needs of others. Instead, they view people primarily as tools for boosting their own status or fulfilling their desires. This absence of empathy can lead to shallow relationships and exploitation, as narcissists often fail to consider the emotional consequences of their actions on others.
