Book Description
• Self-Esteem Is the Enemy Within • Self-Esteem Is the Problem in Relationships • Self-Esteem Is the Problem in Performing • Self-Esteem Is the Problem in Spirituality • Recognize, Remove, & Replace Self-Esteem Collection of Tables • This book is a collection of tables that provide fast information regarding destructive self-esteem. • Self-esteem is the modern name for the ego; therefore, the tables are about self-esteem and the ego. • The ego and self-esteem are experienced as collections of competing self-constructions. Self-Constructions • Self-constructions are positive and negative mental objects, commonly known as positive and negative self-images and self-concepts. • These self-constructions are reified thoughts, also known as thought-things, and calcified, concretized, and crystalized thoughts. • Use our tables to cut through the jargon and get to the heart of how to recognize, remove, and replace the ego to stop it from destroying and interfering with your goals and life. Stop Being Self-Esteem • You don’t just have self-esteem because you identify yourself as it. • For example, if you are insulted or praised, you tend to collect self-esteem images of the insults and praise and think of them as yourself. • You might envision yourself as smart or stupid, beautiful or ugly, loved or hated. • However, you tend to think you are these mental objects (thought-things) instead of a being having them. Self-Esteem Drives • You often want others to see you as positive self-constructions and go out of your way to make that happen. • Likewise, you often don’t want others to see you as negative self-constructions and go out of your way to prevent that. • Again, it is not a matter of just having ideas about yourself; it is the problem of trying to live as ideas. • Wanting yourself and others to experience you as beautiful mental objects leads to the destruction of your authentic self and every form of emotional, mental, and physical violence. Self-Esteem Is Not You • These self-esteem (ego) representations of yourself are not yourself. • They interfere with your goals, performance, and relationships. • Putting human thought in charge cannot produce positive results because it has no abilities or powers. • Self-esteem (ego) is the enemy within because it is at the root of all human problems and misery. • Sometimes, you can claim to be positive things before or after a performance but not during because that always causes errors and failures. • Sometimes, you might use self-confidence to pray for good results and falsely credit self-confidence. • Looking inside, you will see that self-esteem (ego) is never responsible for anything other than interference and misdirection. • Self-esteem is silly nonsense that is, at best, empty words and, at worst, the center of your life as collections of dead things. Not All Tables Made Equal You will favor and respond to some tables more than others. Some tables have enough content to deserve a book; others only fill themselves. Focus on the ones that help you the most. Come back later and reread the book for deeper insights, more connections (neural links), and new relevant tables. The repetition of ideas in the tables will help you deepen your understanding by networking the ideas and applying them to new circumstances. The tables were originally published on our website at this link: https://kevinfitzmaurice.com/lists-and-links/quotations-topics/free-fast-facts/. We have Fast-Facts on many topics. The website link for this Fast-Facts series (self-esteem, ego) now points to this book. The original format has been changed. The original tables have been subject to being added to, edited, discontinued, improved, reformatted, renamed, revised, rewritten, and updated. And new and original tables have been added. Typically, the entry title in the table of contents comes from the title in the table; however, there are some exceptions because of space constraints or formatting considerations. Like in the original version, this version is organized alphabetically. This book will not be available as an audiobook because it consists of tables of information that are visually orientated, difficult to represent verbally, and impossible to read grammatically without change. Some spirituality and religion are included in some tables. However, they are optional for understanding or implementing the helpful insights, suggestions, and solutions provided. You can learn from any source you choose. Wisdom should be accepted wherever it is found. One should accept the truth from whatever source it proceeds. —Maimonides Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. —Philippians 4:8

Book Description
Book Benefits • Discover the Root Cause of Failure • Discover the Root Cause of Success • Discover the Root Cause of Mistakes • Discover the Root Cause of Accidents • Discover the Root Cause of Victory • Discover the Root Cause of Depression • Discover the Root Cause of Anxiety • Discover the Root Cause of Recovery • Discover the Root Cause of Stupidity • Discover the Root Cause of Dogmatism • Discover the Root Cause of Creativity Fast-Fact Tables This book is a collection of tables that provide fast information regarding semantics and thinking. Traditional semantics is about understanding how language and meaning work for and against each other. We focus on semantics as understanding how your mind helps or hinders your success in life. If you don’t control your semantics systems, they control you. Discover how to understand and use your semantics to the fullest extent. This collection also includes information on thinking skills. You will find a repetition of concepts and insights because repetition and practice are the paths to mastery. Additionally, hearing the same thing in a different way has often proved invaluable for most individuals’ understanding. • Exciting New Book Genre: Fast-Facts • Unique Format: Each Page Stands Alone • One Page Can Equal One Book • Read One Page a Day for Inspiration • Read One Page a Day to Change Your Life • Information Tables Compose the Book • This Fast-Facts Book Focuses on Semantics • Semantics Are Your Friend or Foe • Master Your Semantics, Master Your Mind • Ignore Your Semantics, Ignore Your Success • Semantics Build or Ruin Relationships • Handle Semantics to Win or Lose • Learn More in this Book than in a Library • One Page Worth the Price of the Book Semantics Can Help The author’s interest in semantics goes back to studying Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) because it mentioned Alfred Korzybski as a major influence. This interest led to a master’s-level course on General Semantics that required a thorough report on the book referenced immediately below. Korzybski, Alfred. Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics, Fifth Edition. The International Non-Aristotelian Library Publishing Company, Lakeville, CT. 1958. Charlotte Schuchardt Read. Zen Buddhism, for example, Zen stories and koans, was another source for understanding semantics as being in the way of reality. Additionally, the Eastern philosopher J. Krishnamurti was instrumental in this regard. This book will be just another semantic exercise unless you bring your sensations to bear on it. The semantics tables explain how semantics control, destroy, and distort meaning. They provide information to help you recognize how semantics take over your identity, feelings, intentions, and thoughts. Discover the disastrous results of putting semantics in charge. • Please challenge everything we tell you. • You must test these insights to realize them. • You must apply the book’s insights to your life to prove them useful. More & Better Skills The tables provide information on AI, attachment, categories, choices, coping, creativity, ego, failure, General Semantics, how to think, how to use words, intelligence, knowing, materialism, meaning, nature of thought, objectification, perception, performance, perspective, reification, self-talk, simulations, success, thought-things, and much more. The function of this book is to teach about semantics and thinking in an accessible and condensed format. Its purpose is to help people understand and manage their feelings, intentions, thoughts, and lives more positively, productively, and skillfully. The practice of these new semantic skills will lead to greater understanding and peace in the world. Many tables were originally published on our website at this link: https://kevinfitzmaurice.com/lists-and-links/quotations-topics/free-fast-facts/. There, you can find Fast-Facts on many topics. The website link for this Fast-Facts series (semantics) now points to this book. This book contains old and new insights. The original format has been changed. The original tables have been subject to being added to, edited, discontinued, improved, reformatted, renamed, revised, rewritten, and updated. There were thirty-nine entries in the website version. Now, there are ninety-six tables. The number of tables is the result of the writing process. Many tables are original creations for this book. Other new tables are based on 3D: Daily Dose of Discernment collections from 2022, 2023, and 2024. Some 3D: Daily Dose of Discernment entries in 2024 have been inspired by this book. The entry title in the table of contents comes from the title inside the table. Because of the space limitations imposed by the table format, sometimes the wording choices are not the first choices. Like in the original version, this version is organized alphabetically. This book will not be available as an audiobook because it consists of tables of information that are visually orientated, difficult to represent verbally, and impossible to read grammatically without change. Sensation Objects This book focuses on semantic objects as the root problem in human affairs. However, there also exist sensation objects. Sensation objects occur when a nonverbal or sensation memory points to itself instead of to something else, such as a response to a stimulus. The dynamics of sensation objects are the same as semantic objects: self-referential (closed system, fixated, looping). Sensation objects are memories of sensations without linguistic, semantic, or verbal content. Sensation objects can be formed during early childhood abuse or trauma when the child is preverbal and uses sensations to understand everything. A recommended approach to releasing sensation objects is to practice systematic desensitization therapy in a professional setting. For example, often post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults has components of semantic objects and sensation objects that need to be released (cleared, discharged, freed) for a full recovery. Mind-Moving (M-M) can help with releasing sensation objects and semantic objects. Please read Breathe or Mind-Moving (M-M): Healing’s Unifying Principle for more information. Some spirituality and religion are included in a few tables. However, they are optional for understanding or implementing the helpful insights, suggestions, and solutions provided. You can learn from any source you choose. Wisdom should be accepted wherever it is found. One should accept the truth from whatever source it proceeds. —Maimonides Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. —Philippians 4:8 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. —1 Thessalonians 5:21 All of the information in our books progresses over time. If you find conflicting information, please regard the most current information as the most correct, as is the practice of science and the Quran. Thank you for understanding our human failings and limitations. Please let us know what single pages you found to be worth the price of the book. Thank you for sharing them.

Fast Facts: Prostate Cancer
Author: R.S. Kirby
Publisher: Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 3318065889
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
This is the tenth edition of this Fast Facts handbook since the first was published in 1996 – the many iterations are testament to the rapid changes in the field and steadily improving outlook for patients. This new edition introduces the Gleason grade grouping (Chapter 1), which has important prognostic value, and nomograms that are used to evaluate risk (Chapter 3). Our understanding of the genetics and underlying pathogenesis of prostate cancer is growing apace, leading to the identification of germline mutations and the development of genomic tests to help identify and direct therapy for those at greatest risk of developing clinically significant disease. They also provide reassurance for those patients who have opted for active surveillance (Chapters 3 and 5). Imaging techniques are also improving rapidly, particularly multiparametric MRI (Chapter 4). As this book is concise, fully up to date and evidence based, we believe it is an ideal resource for those general urologists, primary care providers, specialist nurses, trainees and allied healthcare professionals who want to get quickly up to speed in this fast-moving and ever-expanding field. Contents: • Epidemiology and pathophysiology • Diet, lifestyle and chemoprevention • Screening and early detection • Diagnosis, staging and prognostic indicators • Management of clinically localized disease • Managing recurrence after initial therapy • Managing metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer • Management of castrate-resistant prostate cancer • Survivorship and management of treatment-related side effects and complications

Pages : 138
Book Description
Prostate cancer is unusual among solid tumors in that the majority of affected men die with, rather than of, the disease. This presents many challenges to healthcare professionals and patients in terms of deciding if, when and how to intervene in order to control tumor growth and spread, thereby extending survival but without compromising quality of life. This is the ninth edition of 'Fast Facts: Prostate Cancer' since 1996, testament to the rapid changes in the field and the steadily improving outlook for patients. This new edition provides many key updates: • the Gleason grade grouping, which has valuable prognostic value • nomograms to evaluate risk • our rapidly expanding understanding of the genetics and underlying pathogenesis of prostate cancer and the development of genomic tests to help identify those at greatest risk of developing clinically significant disease • the continuing debate about the role of PSA in the screening, detection and monitoring of prostate cancer • advances in imaging techniques, particularly multiparametric MRI, which is improving the accuracy of biopsy and reducing the numbers of negative biopsies • the roles of drugs, surgery and radiotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer at different stages, and our ever-improving understanding of when and how best to intervene, aided by improving understanding of the risk factors for disease progression. Primarily intended for primary care providers, specialist nurses, junior doctors and allied healthcare professionals, this highly readable resource provides a comprehensive overview of prostate cancer, enabling fully informed discussions with patients about this complex disease. Contents: • Epidemiology and pathophysiology • Diet, lifestyle and chemoprevention • Screening and early detection • Diagnosis, staging and prognostic indicators • Management of clinically localized disease • Managing recurrence after initial therapy • Management of metastatic prostate cancer • Management of castrate-resistant prostate cancer • Survivorship and treatment complications

As more and more children present to family physicians with learning and attention problems, the overlap between the concerns of health and education professionals can become confused. Furthermore, dyslexia, developmental coordination disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder often occur together, with each other and with oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, Asperger's syndrome or obsessive-compulsive disorder. 'Fast Facts: Specific Learning Difficulties' is a practical guide for family physicians, specialist nurses and other healthcare professionals whose role it is to help and treat patients and their carers. It reviews five learning and behavioural problems addressing four questions for each: • What is the disorder, including its core symptoms and signs, what is its incidence and prevalence, and what is known about its cause? • What are the criteria for this disorder as specified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th Edition? • Who assesses and diagnoses this disorder, and how? • What are the treatments for this disorder, and how? • What are the treatments for this disorder, including management at home and in school? This is an applied and practical guide which will clarify and enhance the role of the primary care physician in the treatment and management of these disorders. Contents: • General issues of diagnosis and treatment • Dyslexia (reading disability) • Developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder • Oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder • Asperger’s syndrome • Obsessive-compulsive disorder • Future trends
