  Exercises of healing and transformation for trauma survivors. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from neuroscience and psychotherapy with empowering strategies to take charge of healing from trauma, this workbook follows the theme of each of the eight keys in 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery. The two books complement each other; but it is not necessary to have listened to the original to benefit from this workbook, which presents practical exercises and activities integral to safe trauma recovery and designed to support listeners' control of their mind, body, and life in the aftermath of trauma. 
   
   
   
  One thing is for sure: there is no one-size-fits-all method for healing trauma. This workbook will help listeners identify, assess, and celebrate the resources they already have, and add more resources to their toolbox. 
   
   
   
  Most importantly, the authors do not subscribe to the old motto "no pain, no gain," fostering instead the concept that healing from trauma should not be traumatic.

  Who Governs? - Presidents Public...

  America’s model of representational government rests on the premise that elected officials respond to the opinions of citizens. This is a myth, however, not a reality, according to James N. Druckman and Lawrence R. Jacobs. In Who Governs?, Druckman and Jacobs combine existing research with novel data from US presidential archives to show that presidents make policy by largely ignoring the views of most citizens in favor of affluent and well-connected political insiders. Presidents treat the public as pliable, priming it to focus on personality traits and often ignoring it on policies that fail to become salient. Melding big debates about democratic theory with existing research on American politics and innovative use of the archives of three modern presidents—Johnson, Nixon, and Reagan—Druckman and Jacobs deploy lively and insightful analysis to show that the conventional model of representative democracy bears little resemblance to the actual practice of American politics. The authors conclude by arguing that polyarchy and the promotion of accelerated citizen mobilization and elite competition can improve democratic responsiveness. An incisive study of American politics and the flaws of representative government, this book will be warmly welcomed by readers interested in US politics, public opinion, democratic theory, and the fecklessness of American leadership and decision-making.

  The Shocking Truth about Urban...

  Urban living has long been viewed as the pinnacle of opportunity and progress. Cities are often painted as vibrant hubs of culture, innovation, and success—a place where dreams come true and ambition finds its footing. The allure of bright lights, bustling streets, and endless possibilities pulls millions into these sprawling metropolises every year. For many, the promise of better jobs, richer experiences, and greater connections is enough to leave behind quieter, simpler lives elsewhere.   
    
  Yet, beneath the glittering facade lies a reality few are prepared for. Urban living often comes with hidden costs, both financial and emotional, that can turn this dream into a relentless grind. The very elements that make cities attractive—crowds, energy, and activity—can also become sources of stress, isolation, and disconnection. The fast pace of city life may thrill at first, but it often demands sacrifices that go unnoticed until they take their toll.  
    
  Financial strain is one of the first realities to hit those who flock to urban centers. The cost of housing, food, transportation, and entertainment skyrockets in the city, leaving little room for savings or long-term planning. Even those earning higher-than-average wages may find themselves living paycheck to paycheck, barely keeping up with the rising costs of urban living. This creates a paradox: while cities offer opportunities for upward mobility, they often make it harder to get ahead.
