Summary

Post Acute Withdrawal explores the often-overlooked phase of addiction recovery: Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS). It examines how prolonged substance use alters brain chemistry, leading to lasting impacts on mood regulation, energy levels, and emotional equilibrium. Understanding PAWS is crucial for individuals in recovery, their support networks, and healthcare professionals. The book emphasizes that recognizing and addressing PAWS proactively can significantly improve long-term outcomes and reduce the risk of relapse, providing effective coping strategies.

 
This book uniquely bridges addiction neuroscience, clinical psychology, and health & fitness, presenting complex scientific information in an accessible way. For example, it highlights the link between physical exercise and improved neurochemical balance, or the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy in managing emotional dysregulation. Beginning with the definition and differentiation of PAWS from acute withdrawal, the book progresses through the impact of PAWS on mood, cognitive function, and emotional regulation, incorporating real-life examples and practical exercises.
Available since: 03/12/2025.

Taking control of her thoughts was only the first step of a winding road to wellness, however. As a mental health professional herself, Nanette now shares with her readers the techniques that helped her address every part of her being - spirit, soul, and body. From distressed patient to nationally recognized deputy director and ambassador of Wellness and Recovery Services for the Illinois Division of Mental Health, Nanette is living proof that full recovery from mental health issues is, indeed, possible, and a successful, happy, healthy life can be found on the other side of the struggle.

    Money Parties and Democracy -...

    Democratic politics is expensive. In US presidential elections, for instance, total spending now exceeds $6.5 billion. In the US, election campaigns are largely funded by private donations from individuals and corporate entities, whereas in Germany, the state is the main funder of electoral politics through subventions to parties. In some other countries, parties have been able to raise most of what they need internally by charging membership dues or, more exceptionally, by relying on a wealthy patron. However, there have been numerous scandals and controversies involving political finance, which pose a serious challenge to fundamental democratic principles.Matteo Bonotti and Zim Nwokora analyze the nature of these democratic risks and how they differ across various models of political finance. They argue that political finance rules ought to counterbalance the weaknesses of the party system they are being used alongside. To do so, political finance rules and party systems should be assessed together, in terms of three distinctive normative dimensions—collegiality, systemic voice, and systemic accountability—which capture what parties, at their best, can contribute to democratic politics. Money, Parties, and Democracy sets out a framework for evaluating political finance systems so that they can be designed or reformed to better support good governance.

    Storylife - On Epic Narrative...

    Combining ancient epic and myth with analogies from biology and the natural world, Joel P. Christensen explores the creative process and how narratives develop. This bold work urges listeners to treat narratives as living things with their own agency in the world. Christensen starts by using Homeric epic to explore the way language and meaning develop alongside audiences in complex ecosystems and then moves through storytelling in the ancient Mediterranean over a thousand years. In this study, which ranges from the evolution of narratives to viral ideas, and to the dangerous side of stories in mass shootings and war, we see how narratives function as independent entities with consequences that cause lasting harm. 
 
 
 
Connecting his argument to the present day, Christensen addresses contemporary cultural panics, including AI and ChatGPT, "post-truth" or alt-facts in the digital age, and free speech and cancel culture. Storylife invites listeners to rethink human creativity, the importance of collective actions, and the lives we build together with and against narrative. In an age rife with misinformation, it is time to reconsider how much control we have over stories and how to educate ourselves once we acknowledge the power that narrative exerts over us.
