  • 0

  A psychotherapist's candid memoir of addiction and recovery, exploring the intersection of Asian culture, mental health, and assimilating into American culture as an ethnic minority. 
   
   
   
  Sam Louie grew up torn between cultures as part of a first-generation Chinese immigrant family from Hong Kong living in a predominantly African American neighborhood in the United States. He experienced the duality of existence with the tension of two vastly different worldviews, his identity intertwined with the country he lives in and his ancestral ties. What traditions and cultural beliefs get preserved, what gets discarded, and what gets lost in translation? Beneath it all was the presence of three generations of addiction, trauma, and shame. 
   
   
   
  In this insightful book, he documents the challenges of immigrant experiences and how maladaptive coping mechanisms in the form of compulsive behaviors were a means to gain a sense of adequacy due to the cultural tide of shame and ostracism within his own ethnic heritage and the world. 
   
   
   
  Louie's journey of resiliency in navigating multiple cultural forces in the face of adversity can give listeners a new understanding of hope, perseverance, and the resources to heal.

  Get your copy of Narcissistic Women and discover how to:Spot a narcissistic woman before starting a relationship with her.Recognize a narcissistic wife, manage the divorce, and navigate co-parenting.Protect your children from parental alienation.Recognize financial abuse and recover from it.Heal from codependency and narcissistic abuse syndrome.Break old toxic relationship patterns and learn to appreciate healthy, empathetic, balanced adult women. 
  ...and much more. 
  It can be extremely difficult for men to recognize and admit when a woman has abused them. This is due to a cultural stigma: in our society, admitting abuse is considered shameful for men. 
  Therefore, when experiencing an abusive relationship, men face an additional obstacle - lack of understanding and resources. Since the mental health industry is hyper-feminized, men are often left alone with their problems, feeling like they have no way out. Their suffering is often neither acknowledged nor addressed. 
  Prior to this book's publication, male victims of narcissistic women didn't receive the recognition they deserved, and the issue of female narcissists was regularly downplayed. 
  If you're an empathetic man suffering from narcissistic abuse, it can be especially hard to seek and obtain help due to social stigma. 
  Caroline Foster wrote this book to help you escape your toxic relationship, begin healing, and regain control of your life - so you can find your true soulmate.Ready to turn a new page in your life story? Start listening now!

  We Agnostics: How William James...

  Bill Wilson was a washed up Wall Street analyst after the Great Crash of 1929 who was dying of alcoholism and decided to clean up. He read “Varieties off Religious Experience” by eminent Harvard Professor William James (whose own brother had died of alcoholism). The rest, as they say, is history and the result was what Aldous Huxley called the most Important social movement of the 20th century. This book weaves together brief excerpts from James’ book (which had radical ideas about spirituality being an end to itself and mostly separate from religion) with the writings of Bill Wilson to show how the two men’s thinking interacted to create the 12 Step movement. It sheds light on the profound influence James had on early 20th Century Agnosticism. It is solid analysis of James’ important contribution to American Spiritualism. Most of all, though, it is a reflection on the 12 Steps of AA & a meditation on what ‘Higher Power’ means. It is a soothing hot soak in the great writing of two men who developed a way out of the soul sickness that is addiction. They both saw spirituality as separate from religion which arises from the basic human need for some private higher power during moments of self-despair. The relief that comes makes life larger, allows us (finally) to belong and offers dignity — for alcoholics or those who live with alcoholics. It works. It really does. Read a sentence or a page per day. This book is a journey of reflection and meditation.
