The Family Gene - A Mission to...

Anonymous

When Joselin Linder was in her twenties, her legs started to swell. She thought little of it, until her health problems started to compound in ways that baffled her doctors. Diagnosed with extreme liver blockage and dangerous levels of lymph fluid, Joselin turned to the most similar case she could think of—her father’s.
Joselin compared the medical chart of her father—who had died of an undiagnosed disease, ten years prior—-with that of an uncle who had died under similarly strange circumstances. Delving further into the past, she discovered her that her great grandmother had symptoms like hers, and she recognized that she was dealing with something more than a fluke. Whatever had killed her father, uncle, and great-grandmother was likely genetic, and the clock was ticking for the family members of her own generation.
Setting out to build a more complete picture of the disease that haunted her family, she approached Dr. Christine “Kricket” Seidman, the head of a group of world-class genetic researchers at Harvard Medical School and a colleague of her late father’s, for help. Dr. Seidman has been attempting the map the faulty gene for seventeen years and has confirmed not only that Joselin’s symptoms are genetic, but that Joselin’s family is this disease’s founder population—a group of people experiencing the baffling symptoms of a brand new mutation. Here, Joselin she tells the story of their gene: the lives it claimed and the future of genetics it foretells.
Digging into family records and medical history, interviews with family and friends and her own experiences with Harvard doctors, Joselin pieces together the story of a deadly gene to write a gripping and unforgettable exploration of family, history, love, and mortality. A compelling story of survival and perseverance, THE FAMILY GENE is an important story of a young woman reckoning with her father’s death, her own mortality, and her ethical obligations to herself, family, and society.

The Sadness Business

Patrick Landman

Have you lost a loved one? Your sadness becomes depression. Your child is a little too lively? He or she may be a danger to society. Do you have a penchant for cake? You have a psychiatric disorder.
The new standard way of thinking about mental health, dictated by the publication of an international guide, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is authorian and overshadows Therapeutic Listening in favor of the drug treatment—its latest version, the DSM-5, lists more than 350 diseases.
Patrick Landman exposes the abuses of such a takeover—the range of normality is reduced and we all become consumers of psychotropic drugs, and even potential lunatics.

Rational Emotive Behavior...

Vivian Westlake

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a cognitive-behavioral approach developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. It represents a revolutionary shift in the field of psychotherapy, aiming not just to alleviate symptoms, but to foster long-lasting change by helping individuals think and behave more rationally. The primary goal of REBT is to help people understand and identify irrational thoughts and beliefs that lead to emotional distress, then replace those beliefs with more rational, functional alternatives.
At its core, REBT rests on the idea that it is not the events themselves that disturb us, but our beliefs about those events. This concept is captured in the ABC model, a foundational element of REBT. According to the model, A stands for the activating event, or the situation that triggers a response. B represents the beliefs we hold about the activating event, which can be either rational or irrational. Finally, C stands for the emotional or behavioral consequences of those beliefs. By recognizing the link between beliefs and emotional outcomes, individuals can learn to challenge and change irrational thoughts that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviors.
REBT operates on the premise that people often hold onto irrational beliefs that are unrealistic, extreme, and unhelpful. These beliefs can be categorized into three core demands: the demand for approval from others, the demand for fairness or justice, and the demand for achievement and success. These irrational demands fuel negative emotions like anxiety, frustration, and depression, leading individuals to feel powerless or inadequate.

Magick for All Seasons - A...

Marla Brooks

“Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages. Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats. “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.
