    Join Egyptologist Garry J. Shaw on an entertaining tour up the Nile, through a beautiful and fascinating landscape populated with a rich mythology: the stories of Horus, Isis, Osiris, and their enemies and allies in tales of vengeance, tragedy, and fantastic metamorphoses. Shaw retells these stories with his characteristic wit, and reconnects them to the temples and monuments that still stand today, offering a fresh look at the most visited sites of Egypt. 
     
     
     
    The myths of ancient Egypt have survived in fragments of ancient hymns and paintings on the walls of tombs and temples, spells inked across coffins, and stories scrawled upon scrolls. 
     
     
     
    Shaw's evocative descriptions of the ancient ruins will transport listeners to another landscape—including the magnificent sites of Dendera, Tell el-Amarna, Edfu, and Thebes. At each site, they will discover which gods or goddesses were worshipped there, as well as the myths and stories that formed the backdrop to the rituals and customs of everyday life. Each chapter ends with a potted history of the site, as well as tips for visiting the ruins today. Egyptian Mythology is the perfect companion to the myths of Egypt and the gods and goddesses that shaped its ancient landscape.

    Listen, your mind isn't broken - it's just doing what minds do when they get stuck in rigid, irrational thinking patterns. After decades of clinical practice, I've seen how OCD operates: it's not some mysterious force, but a pattern of demanding absolute certainty in an uncertain world. 
    This book cuts through the mystification and gets to what works: learning to accept uncertainty, challenging perfectionist demands, and building tolerance for discomfort. No sugar-coating, no magical thinking - just evidence-based techniques for reducing your suffering. 
    You'll learn to spot the difference between healthy concerns and obsessive thinking, develop more flexible responses to triggering situations, and most importantly, stop fighting with your own thoughts. Because here's the reality: the more you desperately try to control your thoughts, the more they control you. 
    Let's get to work on transforming your relationship with uncertainty. It won't always be comfortable, but neither is living under OCD's thumb.
