  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.

  We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.

  Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy: Exploring the Evolution of Economic Systems and the Future of Democracy by Joseph A. Schumpeter is a seminal work that examines the dynamics of economic systems and their societal impact. Published in 1942, this influential book introduces the concept of "creative destruction," illustrating how innovation disrupts established industries to drive progress. Schumpeter explores the strengths and vulnerabilities of capitalism, arguing that its success ironically paves the way for its decline through institutional shifts and bureaucratic expansion. He contrasts this with socialism, analyzing its viability as an alternative and its implications for democratic governance. Blending economic theory, political analysis, and historical perspective, this work offers a thought-provoking critique of modern economic and political systems, making it essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the interplay between economics and democracy.

  A guide to authentic North Asian Shamanism, past and present 
   
   
    
  The word shamanism is frequently bandied about but rarely used accurately. Shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood coined the following definition: "A shaman is someone chose by the spirits [typically at/before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they: A) experience 'spirit flight,' where they go to meet the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman's voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman's community.  Without the spirits, and their blessing, a shaman can not exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism." 
   
   
   
  Author David Shi, for whom these are family traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism. What is it? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? Shi guides listeners through unfamiliar territory—the landscape of North Asia—and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions. Spirit Voices takes and in-depth look at three main cultural shamanic traditions: Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus.

  From the New York Times best-selling author of The Private Lives of the Impressionists comes the first account of the women who loved Picasso―and who shaped his work far more than previously acknowledged. 
   
  Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. 
   
  In Hidden Portraits, acclaimed author Sue Roe reveals that their lives were―without exception―remarkable. They each pursued their own ambitions in dance, writing, painting, and more. All six overcame significant challenges, including Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals as well as the wider social turbulence of their time. In bringing them to vivid life, Roe traces the extent to which each influenced Picasso’s work, from his sketches to masterpieces like Guernica. Spanning seventy years, from bohemian early-twentieth-century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, and from Paris under Nazi occupation to Picasso’s death, and beyond, Hidden Portraits reclaims a set of brilliant women and in the process rewrites a vital chapter in the history of modern art.
