Wiesel recalls his horrifying ordeal, including the sadistic Nazi overseers, the death of his mother and younger sister, watching fellow prisoners disappear into the crematorium, the bloody death march to Gleiwitz, and the heartbreaking fatal beating of his father only months before the camp’s liberation.  Night is a poignant representation of one young Jewish man’s pain amidst the violent details of the worst genocide in world history. It is an invaluable record of the past as well as an ever-relevant warning about the consequences of fascism and bigotry.   The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

    Mind Wide Open - Your Brain and...

    BRILLIANTLY EXPLORING TODAY'S CUTTING-EDGE BRAIN RESEARCH, MIND WIDE OPEN IS AN UNPRECEDENTED JOURNEY INTO THE ESSENCE OF HUMAN PERSONALITY, ALLOWING READERS TO UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES AND THE PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES AS NEVER BEFORE.Using a mix of experiential reportage, personal storytelling, and fresh scientific discovery, Steven Johnson describes how the brain works - its chemicals, structures, and subroutines - and how these systems connect to the day-to-day realities of individual lives. For a hundred years, he says, many of us have assumed that the most powerful route to self-knowledge took the form of lying on a couch, talking about our childhoods. The possibility entertained in this book is that you can follow another path, in which learning about the brain's mechanics can widen one's self-awareness as powerfully as any therapy or meditation or drug.In Mind Wide Open, Johnson embarks on this path as his own test subject, participating in a battery of attention tests, learning to control video games by altering his brain waves, scanning his own brain with a $2 million fMRI machine, all in search of a modern answer to the oldest of questions: who am I?Along the way, Johnson explores how we "read" other people, how the brain processes frightening events (and how we might rid ourselves of the scars those memories leave), what the neurochemistry is behind love and sex, what it means that our brains are teeming with powerful chemicals closely related to recreational drugs, why music moves us to tears, and where our breakthrough ideas come from.Johnson's clear, engaging explanation of the physical functions of the brain reveals not only the broad strokes of our aptitudes and fears, our skills and weaknesses and desires, but also the momentary brain phenomena that a whole human life comprises. Why, when hearing a tale of woe, do we sometimes smile inappropriately, even if we don't want to? Why are some of us so bad at remembering phone numbers but brilliant at recognizing faces? Why does depression make us feel stupid?To read Mind Wide Open is to rethink family histories, individual fates, and the very nature of the self, and to see that brain science is now personally transformative - a valuable tool for better relationships and better living.

    Ten crucial psychological truths that provide “a clinical framework with concrete ways to tackle standing emotional issues” (Foreword Reviews). 
     
    During tens of thousands of hours facilitating psychotherapy, Drs. Christopher Cortman and Harold Shinitzky came to realize that most people are unaware of ten crucial psychological truths—truths imperative to maintaining mental health and well-being. As a result of this lack of awareness, people become anxious, depressed, and generally unhappy; if they learn the ten truths, they are more likely to lead productive, fulfilled lives. Do you know that:Emotions are understandable and contain valuable information?Our behavior has a hidden purpose?We all have an internal saboteur whom we must identify and control?We can change how we act if we change how we think?Time heals nothing? 
     
    Your Mind: An Owner’s Manual for a Better Life combines extensive psychological research with decades of clinical practice in a practical, easy-to-digest narrative. Through examples and exercises, Drs. Cortman and Shinitzky present a step-by-step strategy to help you make use of the truths and become a happier, healthier you.
