  Abby knew her pattern all too well: get her heart broken, swear off dating, find a man "worth" breaking that vow for . . . Rinse. Repeat. However, after leaving a particularly traumatic relationship, Abby realized that something had to change if she wanted to kick the pattern. One night while purchasing a solo concert ticket, an epiphany was born: she needed a year in which she was her own dating interest. One full year to give herself the care and consideration that she once gave to romantic partners. A year to treat herself the way she wished a partner would. A year where she stepped outside of her comfort zone and broke free from codependency. 
   
   
   
  The Year of Dating Myself: How My Solo Tour Healed More Than Just My Heartbreak is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and the capacity to heal after heartbreak. What started out as a way to refocus her priorities quickly developed into something far bigger than she could've ever predicted. The year became a chance to reconnect with her ailing mother, get answers to her biggest genetic fear, remember the power of friendship, and realize all the inner strength that she had all along. 
   
   
   
  She once spent years waiting for her fairytale prince to come and save her. In this story, the princess saves herself.

  The wartime double agent with a transmitter in his cell to contact suffragettes; the doctor hanged as he smiled to the farewells of lovers on the scaffold; the con who defied a gangland godfather and escaped the bromide in the prison tea; aristocrats and arsonists...The screws who guard Britain's prisons have seen them all. Stir! is the story of six of the country's most notorious jails - Durham, Wandsworth, Pentonville, Wormwood Scrubs, Dartmoor and Holloway - and of the men and women who entered their gates, sometimes stood on their scaffolds and occasionally vanished before their time. The book looks at early punishments, life on hell ships transporting convicts to far-off continents, the growth of prison populations, inmates sentenced to waste away on treadmills, the underworld giant who was birched, children starved and beaten for stealing, and even women forced to eat. Also investigated are the lives and thoughts of scores of inmates, from Oscar Wilde to Oswald Mosley; from Dr Crippen to Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged; from underworld legend Frankie Fraser to a Rolling Stone; and even the man who shot Martin Luther King, Jr.Just like Ronnie Barker's Porridge series, there are laughs too, as we uncover the man who measured bathwater, the prisoners punished for not wearing a collar and tie, the jail bookie who paid out in bread, and the unlucky brewers. The mix is all there in Stir!

  Gold digging, adultery, and a slaying on Valentine's Day, 1923, in this "juicy . . . page-turner" of a true crime story (Chicago Tribune). 
   
   
    
  It was a Roaring Twenties fatal attraction. Nettie Herskovitz was wealthy and widowed when she met Harry Diamond. The attentive, irresistibly sexy twenty-three-year-old suitor would become Nettie's fifth husband. He was also a bootlegger, pimp, and first-class hustler who thought he'd wed a goldmine. What Harry found instead was a fiercely independent older woman who was nobody's fool for long. 
   
   
    
  Then, on February 14, 1923, Harry tried to secure his inheritance by shooting Nettie four times, once at point blank range to the head. He blamed the crime on their teenage African American chauffeur. Harry might have gotten away with it, if not for one little oversight. Nettie wasn't dead. 
   
   
    
  With its combination of sin, sex, high-society scandal, and even the interference of the Ku Klux Klan, the case against the movie-star handsome Harry Diamond moved beyond tabloid fodder to become the most sensational trial of the era.

  Belonging: A Journey of Healing, Forgiving, and Manifesting Everything I Ever Desired is a soul-stirring memoir that dares to ask—what if everything you've ever needed was already within you? 
  From surviving childhood trauma and navigating abandonment to becoming a national youth leader, spiritual visionary, and respected scholar, Dr. Shawn Boone chronicles a path marked by pain, purpose, and profound awakening. Through deeply personal storytelling, he reveals how his search for belonging was never about fitting into the world—it was about remembering his place within it. 
  This is not just a story of survival. It is a sacred declaration of reclamation. In these pages, you will witness how silence becomes sound, how trauma transforms into truth, and how forgiveness becomes the ultimate portal to freedom. At the heart of this journey is the discovery of The Theory of Embodied Vision™, Parallel Actualization™, and the S.E.E.D. Framework™—a powerful process rooted in Stillness, Embodiment, Expression, and Discernment. These guiding principles help readers align with their highest self, break free from inherited patterns, and manifest a life of meaning and purpose. 
  Written with poetic vulnerability and spiritual clarity, Belonging is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in their own life. Whether you are healing from loss, grappling with identity, or yearning to manifest something more, this book offers a mirror for your truth—and a map back home to yourself. 
  If you've ever whispered "there must be more," this book will show you: there is. And you are it. 
  For readers of spiritual memoirs, personal development, and conscious manifestation, Belonging is both a mirror and a map.

  Seeking the Person at the Center...

  It has become clear that reductionist models of health care are unsustainable in both economic and humanistic terms. There is a pressing need, therefore, articulated increasingly by patients themselves, to move away from impersonal, fragmented and decontextualized systems of healthcare towards personalized, integrated and contextualised models of clinical practice within a humanistic framework of care that recognizes the importance of applying science in a manner which respects the patient as a whole person and takes full account of his values, preferences, aspirations stories, cultural context, fears, worries and hopes and which thus recognizes and responds to his emotional, social and spiritual necessities in addition to his physical needs. 
  The Educational Program for Person-centered Care aims to achieve this. It is divided into three discrete but interrelated sections. The first section of four papers includes the conceptualization and measurement in person centered medicine and embraces the relevance of the social determinants of health and people centered public health. The second group of articles moves on to the practical aspects of patient-physician communication and the importance of a comprehensive diagnosis. The third section emphasizes the importance of shared decision making with key examples and inter-professional collaboration. The program is a living document and will be revised with the help of those who study and apply a person-centered approach to their own practice.
