  The Red and the Black

  "In a world of cold calculation, can a heart of fire survive?"
  
  Born the son of a provincial carpenter, Julien Sorel is possessed by a brilliant mind and a dangerous obsession with Napoleon Bonaparte. Realizing that the "Red" path of military glory is closed to him in the stagnant era of the Bourbon Restoration, he chooses the "Black" path of the clergy as a means to power. Julien's journey takes him from the bedchambers of provincial nobility to the glittering salons of Paris, as he maneuvers through a society where hypocrisy is the only language spoken fluently. Caught between his genuine passion for the gentle Madame de Rênal and his intellectual fascination with the haughty Mathilde de la Mole, Julien finds that the climb to the top is paved with secrets that could lead to his ultimate downfall.
  
  The "Red" vs. the "Black": The title serves as a perfect metaphor for Julien's internal conflict. The "Red" represents the lost glory of the battlefield and the meritocracy of the Empire, while the "Black" represents the mourning clothes of the Church and the subtle, often corrupt, influence of the priesthood. Julien is a hero who plays a part he despises to achieve a status he craves.
  
  A Pioneer of Psychology: Stendhal was one of the first novelists to focus intensely on "inner monologue." He provides a window into Julien's constant self-analysis and strategic thinking, revealing the anxiety and pride that drive every move. It is a remarkably modern look at how we construct our identities to fit the expectations of others.
  
  Why It Is a Literary Essential: The Red and the Black is the ultimate "outsider" novel. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt like they were watching life from the sidelines, planning their entry. It is a thrilling, tragic, and bitingly funny critique of a society that rewards the mask more than the man.
  
  Witness the rise and fall of Julien Sorel. Purchase "The Red and the Black" today.

  Bearing the Unbearable is a Foreword INDIES Award-Winner — Gold Medal for Self-Help. 
  When a loved one dies, the pain of loss can feel unbearable—especially in the case of a traumatizing death that leaves us shouting, “NO!” with every fiber of our body. The process of grieving can feel wild and nonlinear—and often lasts for much longer than other people, the nonbereaved, tell us it should. 
  Organized into fifty-two short chapters, Bearing the Unbearable is a companion for life’s most difficult times, revealing how grief can open our hearts to connection, compassion, and the very essence of our shared humanity. Dr. Joanne Cacciatore—bereavement educator, researcher, Zen priest, and leading counselor in the field—accompanies us along the heartbreaking path of love, loss, and grief. Through moving stories of her encounters with grief over decades of supporting individuals, families, and communities—as well as her own experience with loss—Cacciatore opens a space to process, integrate, and deeply honor our grief. 
  Not just for the bereaved, Bearing the Unbearable will be required reading for grief counselors, therapists and social workers, clergy of all varieties, educators, academics, and medical professionals. Organized into fifty-two accessible and stand-alone chapters, this book is also perfect for being read aloud in support groups.

  Doorknob Bombshells in Therapy -...

  What should a therapist do when a patient reveals critical information at the end of a session? 
   
   
   
  It's a near-universal experience among mental health practitioners: a patient drops a bombshell—a critical disclosure that moves the treatment forward—on their way out, with a hand on the doorknob. This "doorknob moment" creates a stressful dilemma for clinicians, especially when the patient is distraught. Should the clinician end the session on time, or run over and be late for the next patient? 
   
   
   
  Here, seasoned psychiatrist Daniela V. Gitlin provides clinicians with a clear, evidence-based answer. By conceptualizing the functional differences between patient and therapist in the treatment relationship as a metaphor for the functional differences between right and left cerebral hemispheres, Gitlin's argument yields a comprehensive explanation for why doorknob moments occur, why they are necessary to prevent treatment stagnation, and why ending on time makes patients feel safer to deliver them.

  If you identify as a perfectionist, you may not see your perfectionism as a problem. But striving for unrealistic standards, basing your self-worth on meeting those standards, and engaging in persistent self-criticism will ultimately lead to anxiety, stress, worry, burnout, and unhappiness. So, how can you distinguish between "helpful" and "hurtful" perfectionism and stop holding yourself and others to unrealistically high standards? 
   
   
   
  Written by two clinical psychologists, The Anxious Perfectionist shines a much-needed light on the hidden costs of "being the best," and offers essential skills based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with the anxiety that is driven by your perfectionism. You'll learn how your "need to be perfect" can actually hinder your productivity, and keep you from reaching your goals. You'll also learn skills to help you gain distance from negative self-talk and criticism, let go of unhelpful and self-limiting labels such as "success" or "failure," and give yourself and others permission to make mistakes while still honoring your high aspirations. 
   
   
   
  If you're struggling with feelings of anxiety and stress, and suspect your perfectionism may be to blame, this guide will show you how to stop getting in the way of your own success, and live a life guided by your deepest values.
