Sinopsis

Behavioral Addictions explores the hidden side of everyday behaviors like shopping, internet use, and work, revealing how they can transform into destructive compulsions. Unlike substance addictions, these behavioral patterns often lack obvious physical signs, making them especially challenging to recognize and address. The book emphasizes the shared psychological and neurological roots between behavioral and substance addictions, highlighting similar patterns of reward-seeking and loss of control. It examines how societal pressures, such as consumerism and digital connectivity, contribute to these compulsions, providing a comprehensive understanding of these increasingly prevalent issues.

 
The book progresses systematically, first defining core concepts like impulse control disorders and the addiction cycle. It then delves into specific behaviors, such as shopping addiction, internet addiction, and workaholism, examining their triggers, consequences, and strategies for change. By integrating clinical studies, neuroimaging research, and personal accounts, Behavioral Addictions offers a unique and integrated perspective.

 
It culminates in an integrated model for addressing these issues, equipping readers with practical strategies and resources for self-assessment and positive change.

Shining Gateway

James Allen

Students of the works of James Allen all over the world will welcome with joy another book from his able pen. In this work we find the Prophet of Meditation in one of his deepest and yet most lucid expositions. How wonderfully he deals with fundamental principles! Here the reader will find no vague statement of generalities, for the writer enters with tender reverence into every detail of human experience. It is as though he came back to The Shining Gateway, and, standing there, he reviewed all the way up which his own feet have traveled, passing over no temptation that is common to man; knowing that the obstacles that barred his ascending pathway, or the clouds that at times obscured his vision, are the common experiences of all those who have set their faces towards the heights of Blessed Vision. As we read his words now, he seems to stand and beckon to us, saying, "Come on, my fellow Pilgrims; it is straight ahead to the Shining Gateway; I have blazed the track for you." In sending forth this, another posthumous volume from his pen, we have no doubt but that it will help many and many an aspiring soul up to the heights, until at last they too stand within The Shining Gateway. - Summary by Editor, The Shining Gateway

Law of Attraction - Exactly How...

Jenny Hashkins

This book consists of 2 books, which are:
Book 1: Are you stuck in life? Do you want to attract more wealth and success? Do you dream about having or being more?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this book may be a good way to start getting back on track in the right direction. We will address topics that relate to money, debt, and attraction of the things you want in life.
What do millionaires do right that others do not?
That’s another question we will dive into. One of the things they do right, is optimism. This trait can greatly enhance your success, and here, we will explain why it helps in achieving your goals and making your dreams a reality.
Book 2: Many people want more money. It’s a given. It’s simple. But what they don’t understand, is that some qualities need to be developed in order to receive more from the universe.
One of those is stress management. We live in a hectic world with ever-pressing expectations and an increasing number of confusing directions to go into. What you need to do, is to manage your time, your cortisol levels, and your emotional intelligence in a way that you can stay calm while doing “your thing.”
Another is self-control. Most people have times when they lack that self-control. The human body and the brain aren’t easy to master. They have tendencies that lean towards giving into temptation. But those temptations often stand in the way of our long-term goals by switching out lasting happiness and fulfilment for instant gratification. This needs to change, and in this book, at least one full chapter is strictly devoted to that topic.

What Does Israel Fear From...

Raja Shehadeh

A poignant, incisive meditation on Israel's longstanding rejection of peace, and what the war on Gaza means for Palestinian and Israeli futures. 
 
 
 
When apartheid in South Africa ended in 1994, dismantled by internal activism and global pressure, why did Israel continue to pursue its own apartheid policies against Palestinians? In keeping with a history of antagonism, the Israeli state accelerated the establishment of settlements in the Occupied Territories as extreme right-wing voices gained prominence in government, with comparatively little international backlash. 
 
 
 
Condensing this complex history into a lucid essay, Raja Shehadeh examines the many lost opportunities to promote a lasting peace and equality between Israelis and Palestinians. Since the creation of Israel in 1948, known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or catastrophe, each side's perception of events has strongly diverged. What can this discrepancy tell us about Israel's undermining of a two-state solution? And will the current genocide in Gaza finally mark a shift in the world's response? 
 
 
 
With graceful, haunting prose, Shehadeh offers insights into a defining conflict that could yet be resolved.
