Trauma, the nation's epidemic, and mainstream culture's hot topic. Our Broken Brains: The Human Condition highlights modern-day trauma therapy alongside real-life stories of the complexities of psychological trauma. Within a traumatic experience, the human brain becomes physiologically damaged, leaving one underdeveloped, bruised, hijacked, and deficient, creating a hostile mental pathology to future events. Subsequently, humanity can no longer trust itself. Regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation, anyone may have sagas that create a broken brain or an impaired mental state. Within a broken brain, our brain and body connections collapse, and our responses result in an emotional tempest of spiraling mental health, pervasive feelings of shame, overcompensation, avoidance, and destructive behaviors. Mentally recreating or dismissing painful events manipulates the brain's senses, causing the person to become emotionally sidelined. Therefore, living in painful episodes of the past. Broken brains create personal mental deficiencies while decreasing individual productivity and escalating poor social patterns. Unfortunately, too many have learned to function daily with trauma's brokenness. Overcoming brokenness requires building a healthy social and emotional ecosystem while increasing emotional intelligence to develop and reconstruct each integral part of life. This book will guide you to heal from traumas' brokenness and expand your mission of constructing a healthy self and space for wholeness and wellness.Show book
iDisorder: changes to your brain's ability to process information and your ability to relate to the world due to your daily use of media and technology, resulting in signs and symptoms of psychological disorders, such as stress, sleeplessness, and a compulsive need to check in with all of your technology.

Rosen provides solid, proven strategies to help us overcome the iDisorder we all feel in our lives, while still making use of all that technology offers.

Rosen teaches us how to stay human in an increasingly technological world.Show book
"Toward a Psychology of Being" by Abraham Maslow, published in 1962, is a seminal work in humanistic psychology. Building on his hierarchy of needs, Maslow explores the concept of self-actualization as the pinnacle of psychological development. The book shifts focus from pathology to positive aspects of human experience, emphasizing what enables individuals to thrive.Maslow identifies self-actualization with traits like autonomy, creativity, and purpose. He encourages psychologists to study positive aspects of human behavior, challenging behaviorism and psychoanalysis. The book advocates for a more holistic, human-centered psychology valuing subjective experience and individual uniqueness.Maslow's humanistic approach transcends traditional psychological boundaries, delving into existential questions about life's meaning and personal excellence. "Toward a Psychology of Being" integrates psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, offering a comprehensive perspective on the human experience.While praised for groundbreaking ideas, criticisms exist, including cultural bias in self-actualization traits. Despite this, the book's impact persists, influencing how psychologists study human behavior and well-being, fostering a positive psychology that considers strengths, aspirations, and the pursuit of personal growth.Show book
Let's start with two truths about our era: We are surrounded by more readily available information than ever before. And a huge percentage of it is inaccurate. Some of the bad info is well-meaning but ignorant. Some of it is deliberately deceptive. All of it is pernicious.With the internet always at our fingertips, what's a teacher of history to do? Sam Wineburg has answers, beginning with this: If we want to educate citizens who can sift through the mass of information around them and separate fact from fake, we have to explicitly work to give them the necessary critical thinking tools.Historical thinking, Wineburg shows us in Why Learn History (When It's Already on Your Phone), has nothing to do with test prep-style ability to memorize facts. Instead, it's an orientation to the world that we can cultivate, one that encourages reasoned skepticism, discourages haste, and counters our tendency to confirm our biases.Wineburg draws on surprising discoveries from an array of research and experiments—including surveys of students, recent attempts to update history curricula, and analyses of how historians, students, and even fact checkers approach online sources-to paint a picture of a dangerously mine-filled landscape, but one that, with care, attention, and awareness, we can all learn to navigate.Show book
