Summary

Cognitive Distortions explores the powerful role that distorted thinking plays in addictive behaviors. This self-help book examines how irrational thought patterns sabotage our decisions and perpetuate cycles of dependence, offering tangible tools rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to break free. A core concept is reframing, which provides practical strategies to challenge and modify distorted beliefs.

 
Did you know that cognitive distortions like "all-or-nothing" thinking can significantly contribute to addictive triggers and relapse? The book argues that addiction is not simply a matter of willpower, but is influenced by ingrained, inaccurate thought processes.

 
The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of cognitive distortions and their impact. It introduces common distortion types like catastrophizing, and personalization, and explores how they trigger cravings and justify substance use.

 
Building upon the work of CBT pioneers, this book provides a contemporary perspective, specifically tailored to addictive behaviors. It culminates in a detailed exploration of therapeutic techniques derived from CBT to reframe destructive beliefs and promote healthier choices.

    "Some publishers tell you what to believe. Other publishers tell you what you already believe. But InterVarsity Press helps you believe."
    J. I. Packer
    The history of evangelicalism cannot be understood apart from the authors and books that shaped it. Over the past century, leading figures such as pastor-scholar John Stott, apologist James W. Sire, evangelist Rebecca Manley Pippert and spiritual formation writer Eugene Peterson helped generations of readers to think more biblically and engage the world around them. For many who take their Christianity seriously, books that equip them for a life of faith have frequently come from one influential publisher: InterVarsity Press.
    Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll provide a narrative history of InterVarsity Press, from its origins as the literature division of a campus ministry to its place as a prominent Christian publishing house. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, people, and events that made IVP what it is today. Recording good times and bad, celebrations and challenges, they place IVP in its historical context and demonstrate its contribution to the academy, church and world.
    In honor of IVP's seventy-fifth anniversary, senior editor Al Hsu has updated this edition with new content, bringing the story up to 2022 and including stories about contemporary authors such as Esau McCaulley and Tish Harrison Warren. As IVP continues to adapt to changes in publishing and the global context, the mission of publishing thoughtful Christian books has not changed. IVP stands as a model of integrative Christianity for the whole person—heart, soul, mind and strength.

    We're all looking for that perfect balance between loving ourselves and becoming the best person we can be. But it's going to take more than bubble baths, wine, $8 lattes, affirmations, and other bullsh*t social media has deemed essential for #selfcare and #selfimprovement. 
     
     
     
    To truly become your best self, you have to be a little more . . . 
     
     
     
    SELFISH. 
     
     
     
    Selfishness is perhaps the world's most controversial, undesirable, and misunderstood trait—particularly for women. In our lives, we bend over backward to avoid this stigmatizing label. 
     
     
     
    But what if we didn't? 
     
     
     
    In Self-ish, clinical psychologist Sunita Osborn challenges what we think we know about selfishness. With radical candor and bold humor, she dispels the myths and distortions that surround the fundamental psychological concepts of self-care, self-trust, self-love, and self-discipline, explaining how these terms have become empty badges of honor because of social media, societal norms, and our upbringings. 
     
     
     
    Dr. Osborn urges women everywhere to unapologetically nurture their personal growth with strength and wisdom, blazing a path to self-leadership with encouragement, tools, and concrete steps to level-up their whole selves.

    Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.
