  Do you remember Beatlemania? Radio Caroline? Mods and Rockers? The very first miniskirts? Then the chances are you were born in the or around 1960.  
  To the young people of today, the 1960s seems like another age. But for those who grew up in this decade, school life, 'mod' fashions and sixties pop music are still fresh in their minds. From James Bond to Sindy dolls and playing hopscotch in the street, life was very different to how it is now. After the tough and frugal years of the fifties, the sixties was a boom period, a time of changed attitudes and improved lifestyles. With chapters on home and school life, games and hobbies, music and fashion, this delightful compendium of memories will appeal to all who grew up in this lively era.  
  Take a nostalgic look at what it was like to grow up during the sixties and recapture all aspects of life back then.

  The Story of Psychology - From...

  What is it that makes you "you"? What produces your likes and dislikes, fear and fantasies? What makes you different from other people, and what makes you the same as them? For thousands of years, people have tried to identify the spirit, soul or mind that makes us human. And they have tried to work out how and why it makes our identity. Answers have ranged from the physiological to the psychological - the influence of early experiences and upbringing. 
   
  The study of psychology, which emerged from philosophy during the 19th century, addresses such questions as what makes us what we are as individuals; how we learn, know and reason; whether we have any innate knowledge or are born with a mind that is a "blank slate"; whether we have freewill; and what is the balance between nature and nurture in forging the individual. Experiments in psychology often probe the darker recesses of the mind - how cruel will we be? how important is it to fit in? how far can the mind be tricked? 
   
  Author Anne Rooney brings together the threads that have made up psychology, from the musings of the Ancient Greeks to the findings of functional MRI scanning. The Story of Psychology is a narrative of how we have tried to approach the very core of our being - of what makes us ourselves.

  The Choice to Leave Abuse

  God strongly condemns any form of abuse. 
  In recent years, the struggles of Latter-day Saints in abusive relationships have made national headlines. The media attention has highlighted a deeply unfortunate perception: many Latter-day Saints fear that by choosing to leave an abusive relationship, they are at risk of breaking their covenants with God. Mental health professionals and law enforcement officers who work with Latter-day Saint populations attest to the number of people who continue to be hurt, humiliated, and even killed because they believe it is their religious obligation to endure abuse to the end. 
  This damaging misperception, and the traditions that have helped create and maintain it, must be corrected. With a direct and straightforward discussion of the doctrines and teachings about abuse, this book not only provides clear guidance for bishops and other local leaders on how to respond to abuse, but it will also help you discover God's true feelings about abuse and the love he has for all who suffer. 
  Learn to identify the signs of abuse in your own relationships and in others. 
  Overcome roadblocks that may be hindering escape from an abusive situation. 
  Follow the path of healing in mind, body, and spirit. 
  The gospel of Jesus Christ offers tremendous hope, healing, and redemption for those who suffer mistreatment, neglect, and abuse of all kinds. The deliverance offered is not only spiritual and post-mortal, it is temporal, applying to here and now. This message needs to work its way into our collective conscience and become an integral part of our culture.

  Hypnotherapy - Unlocking the...

  Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses the power of hypnosis to bring about positive change in a person's thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It is a natural, relaxed state of heightened awareness and focus, during which individuals are more open to suggestions and capable of accessing the subconscious mind. While hypnosis is often associated with entertainment or mysticism, hypnotherapy is a well-established and evidence-based practice used by licensed professionals to address a wide variety of issues, from stress and anxiety to chronic pain and bad habits. 
  The origins of hypnotherapy can be traced back thousands of years to ancient cultures, where the use of trance-like states was employed for healing and spiritual rituals. In more modern times, figures such as Franz Anton Mesmer and Milton Erickson helped shape the practice, bringing hypnosis into the medical field. Today, hypnotherapy is recognized as a legitimate treatment in many parts of the world, with practitioners working alongside other healthcare professionals to improve mental and physical well-being. 
  One of the core principles of hypnotherapy is that the subconscious mind plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions. While the conscious mind controls our daily decisions and actions, the subconscious mind holds our deeper beliefs, memories, and automatic reactions. It is in this subconscious realm where many issues, such as phobias, unresolved trauma, and limiting beliefs, are stored and continue to influence us in ways we may not be fully aware of. Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the conscious mind and speaking directly to the subconscious, allowing for deep-seated changes to take place.
