  When 19-year-old Lisa sees her new neighbor spanking the bottom of a girl leaving the house, she gets excited rather than shocked. Unfortunately for her, the older woman spots that she’s watching. Embarrassed to be caught staring, she quickly goes inside although she can’t stop thinking about what she saw because it’s a fantasy she enjoys, but has never experienced for real.  
  When her neighbor comes to the door not long after on the pretext of borrowing a pot, Lisa suspects that might be about to change. She finds she’s right when the dominant, older woman takes control to spank her.

  Most people ideally want to live a fulfilling life which includes having a healthy relationship with themselves as well as others. However, what precludes a great deal of people from attaining this fulfillment in life is the inner turmoil that consumes them. This inner turmoil inevitably leads to distress which affects everything around them such as personal relationships, family relationships, work relationships etc. This distress can lead them to suffer from maladies such as anxiety, phobias, depression, addiction, eating disorders, issues with self esteem and anger, emotional suffering, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and various other behavioral and mental health difficulties. 
  The reason why people find it difficult to resolve and overcome this inner turmoil and become “stuck” is because of their ineffective thinking process. In his book entitled Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Unleashed, author James Ashley covers in detail how two types of therapies, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be utilized to produce a more effective thinking process for the individual that leads to more favorable and positive results and the resolving of this inner turmoil. This book explores the various components of both treatments.

  The Uses of Delusion - Why It's...

  Although reason and rationality are our friends in almost all contexts, in some cases people are better off putting reason aside. In a number of very important situations, we benefit by not seeing the world as it is, and by not behaving like logic-driven machines. The Uses of Delusion is about aspects of human nature that are not altogether rational but, nonetheless, help us achieve our social and personal goals. Psychologist Stuart Vyse presents a lively, accessible exploration of the psychological concepts behind "useful delusions," fleshing out how delusional thinking may play a role in love and relationships, illness and loss, and personality and behavior. Along the way Vyse draws on the work of William James, Daniel Kahneman, and Joan Didion—who wrote about her compelling belief that her husband, though deceased, would soon return to her.Throughout, Vyse strives to answer the question: why would some of our most illogical beliefs be as helpful as they are? The concluding chapter offers an explanation grounded in natural selection—the ability to fool ourselves, Vyse argues, has actually helped us to survive. In the last section of The Uses of Delusion, Vyse offers suggestions for determining when reason should rule and when intuition and emotion should be allowed to take over.

  A wide-ranging survey offers “entertainment as well as wisdom for everyone who’s ever wondered what’s behind so many conspiracy theories and paranormal phenomena” (Publishers Weekly).   UFOs. Aliens. Strange crop circles. Giant figures scratched in the desert surface along the coast of Peru. The amazing alignment of the pyramids. Strange lines of clouds in the sky. The paranormal is alive and well in the American cultural landscape. In UFOs, Chemtrails, and Aliens, Donald R. Prothero and Tim Callahan explore why such demonstrably false beliefs thrive despite decades of education and scientific debunking. Employing the ground rules of science and the standards of scientific evidence, Prothero and Callahan discuss a wide range of topics including the reliability of eyewitness testimony, psychological research into why people want to believe in aliens and UFOs, and the role conspiratorial thinking plays in UFO culture. They examine a variety of UFO sightings and describe the standards of evidence used to determine whether UFOs are actual alien spacecraft. Finally, they consider our views of aliens and the strong cultural signals that provide the shapes and behaviors of these beings. While their approach is firmly based in science, Prothero and Callahan also share their personal experiences of Area 51, Roswell, and other legendary sites, creating a narrative that is sure to engross both skeptics and believers.
