Beyond the Edge - Exploring the Unconventional Corners of the Human Psyche

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

Prepare to embark on a captivating journey into the realm of eccentric and bizarre behaviors that defy societal norms and challenge our understanding of human psychology. This book unveils the hidden world of individuals whose actions and experiences lie beyond the boundaries of convention.

Delve into the enigmatic minds of those afflicted by obsessive-compulsive disorders, where intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions exert an unrelenting grip on their lives. Witness the struggles of individuals battling eating disorders, trapped in a relentless cycle of self-denial and self-punishment. Anxiety disorders, with their debilitating fears and constant worry, rob individuals of their peace and serenity, leaving them perpetually tormented by unseen demons.

Unravel the complexities of personality disorders, where extreme and inflexible traits shape individuals' thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in ways that often lead to distress and impaired functioning. Discover the profound impact of mood disorders, ranging from the depths of depression to the heights of mania, disrupting the emotional equilibrium and leaving individuals grappling with overwhelming challenges. Psychotic disorders, with their distorted perceptions of reality, hallucinations, and delusions, transport individuals into a realm of unreality, blurring the lines between the tangible and the intangible.

Explore the fascinating world of somatic symptom disorders, where physical symptoms manifest without a clear medical cause, leaving individuals perplexed and seeking answers. Encounter the fragmented minds of those living with dissociative disorders, where alternate identities emerge or memories vanish, creating a disjointed sense of self. Sleep-wake disorders disrupt the natural rhythm of rest and wakefulness, leading to exhaustion, impaired cognitive function, and diminished quality of life, casting a shadow over the tranquility of slumber.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of these extraordinary conditions, delving into the underlying mechanisms that shape these unusual behaviors. It sheds light on the intricate interplay of genetics, environment, and psychological factors, providing a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals living with these conditions. Their struggles for acceptance and understanding, their resilience in the face of adversity, and their determination to reclaim their lives are a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human psyche. This book is a profound exploration of the unconventional corners of human experience, inviting readers to embrace the extraordinary diversity of human behavior and challenge their perceptions of what is considered normal.

Hope Circuits - Rewiring...

Jessica Riddell

How do we model abundance and generosity — in teaching, in learning, in leading organizations, particularly non-profits — when dealing with fiscal austerity and other forms of scarcity thinking? Hope Circuits explores this question, presenting sophisticated ideas that support democratizing higher education for everybody.
		 
Written in a conversational style that draws upon Jessica Riddell’s experience in governance, senior administration, and scholarship, the book is a how-to guide and thought leadership manifesto for developing the conceptual tools to seek solutions to higher education’s most pressing issues. Hope Circuits aims to rewire mindsets, perspectives, and behaviours to in turn rewire and renew the systems within which university stakeholders learn, live, and work. It tackles this challenging feat by suggesting ten tools to build hope circuits, a concept borrowed from neuroscience. 
		 
Riddell acknowledges that changing systems and deep cultures is not for the faint of heart; indeed, the more than 250 interviews conducted with thought partners for Hope Circuits expose how individuals who navigate complex systems regularly experience discomfort and even despair. In response, she shows us how to anchor a practice of hope in higher education with focus and intention, inviting others to adopt and adapt her approach.

Women with ADHD - Empower...

Sophia Hughes

If you're a woman living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you've likely sensed your uniqueness from an early age. Growing up, societal norms, expectations, and learning environments subtly communicated which behaviors, thinking patterns, and work styles were deemed acceptable or frowned upon. These messages, pervasive in media, classrooms, and conversations, shaped your perception of self and others. 
While ADHD is often associated with children, its effects can persist into adulthood, presenting distinct challenges in various aspects of life. Women, in particular, contend with societal norms that may clash with their innate traits, leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. 
This guide sheds light on how ADHD manifests in adults and offers insights into recognizing its symptoms in yourself or a loved one. Key topics covered include: 
Contrasts between childhood and adult ADHD 
Diagnosing and assessing ADHD, along with associated risks and benefits 
Social obstacles faced by women with ADHD 
Exploring whether ADHD diminishes with age 
Non-medical interventions for managing symptoms 
Considering the impact of sexual activity on individuals with ADHD 
And a host of other related subjects 
For those seeking effective strategies to navigate life with ADHD and reclaim control, this audiobook serves as an invaluable resource.
