  Life is ephemeral and ever-changing; in Japan, it's called ukiyo—"floating world." How can we adapt to its fluctuations without being overcome? The answer is nagomi: a philosophy of balance—and the secret to a harmonious life. Neuroscientist Ken Mogi shares wisdom from Japanese history and culture to explain how nagomi can help you: 
   
   
   
  ● have happy relationships with loved ones who disagree 
   
   
   
  ● engage with the natural world without diminishing its beauty 
   
   
   
  ● strive for improvement while accepting imperfection 
   
   
   
  ● strike a balance to achieve calm. 
   
   
   
  If you've ever enjoyed a perfect bite of sushi—fresh fish, white rice, a hint of wasabi, maybe with a sip of sake—then you've already tasted what nagomi can achieve. Combining philosophy and advice, this book brings that balance into your health, work, relationships, and sense of self with nagomido—The Way of Nagomi!

  Introduction to ADHD in Women 
  Though ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in boys and men, it affects girls and women as well. A recent study found that girls with ADHD are more likely to have anxiety and mood disorders, as well as problems with social interactions. They are also more likely to have lower self-esteem and problems with body image. 
  There is still a lot we don't know about how ADHD affects women and girls. In particular, we need more research on how best to treat the unique symptoms that affect them. However, there are some treatments that have been shown to be effective for both genders. One such treatment is mindfulness meditation.Treatment for ADHD in women 
  While medication may be the most talked about treatment for ADHD, there are other options that can be helpful. Treatment for ADHD in women often includes therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or mindfulness meditation. In a landmark study at the UCLA in 2007, 24 adults with ADHD took part in an 8 week programme of regular guided meditations. Participants reported improvements in their anxiety and depressive symptoms along with improvements in ADHD symptoms and in test performance on tasks measuring attention and cognitive inhibition. 
  My hope is that through regularly listening to the guided meditations in this audiobook, you can also benefit from an improvement in your symptoms.Guided meditation book for ADHD and women 
  There are 4 meditations in this audiobook, which I hope will help you relax, focus and live a happier life. The topics are selected to be a cross section of relaxation, and mindfulness practice, that, through regular practice and usage, could help you, step by step, manage your ADHD.

  Dark History of Penn's Woods -...

  When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents, and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of listeners, and an solid academic work.

  When most Americans think of slavery, they do not picture the colonial or revolutionary eras. Yet, in fact, one of six inhabitants of the thirteen original colonies was enslaved. The Escapes of David George: an Odyssey of Slavery, Freedom, and the American Revolution reveals a remarkable, untold experience of the American revolutionary period—a Black man's quest for the freedom espoused by our Founders, but denied him and other enslaved people.In 1762, at the age of nineteen, David George escaped from a plantation in Virginia. Running southwest by night, fording rivers and crossing borders, he embarked on a decades-long journey in and out of captivity that spanned multiple colonies and thousands of miles. George lived among White, Black, Creek, and Natchez settlements, fled to the British Army for the promise of liberty, founded what might have been the first Black Baptist church, helped to hack a settlement for refugees out of the Nova Scotia wilderness, and died as a leader of an experimental anti-slavery community in Sierra Leone.Piecing together archival records and David George's own brief account of his life—the earliest written testimony by a fugitive enslaved person in North America—Gregory O'Malley presents a thrilling narrative and a unique perspective on our nation's origins, principles, and contradictions.

  Breadcrumbs - Finding a...

  How you see your life is complex and can rarely be expressed in an answer that fits on a bumper sticker. Instead, a longer answer is required, one that has roots in early experiences that influenced the development of your character and shaped your views on nature, prejudice, religion, and war. Ultimately, enlightenment comes from reflection on those around you and the impressionable events of childhood that impacted your maturity. William F. Merck’s second book, “Breadcrumbs: Finding a Philosophy of Life,” approaches this quest through a framework loosely based on the seven philosophies of education and concentrates on themes of learning, values, reasoning, morals, religion, aesthetics, and world views.In this work, the author uses stories from his life’s journey to illustrate points in time that helped form his view of the world and his place in it. From growing up in Southern Georgia in the 1940s, to becoming a military officer and a corporate leader, he discovers a nexus between early feelings and subsequent notions and beliefs. He invites you to contemplate your own early experiences as an investigative exercise in understanding what you believe and why you think the way you do today.
