No More Bananas

Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
“Feel better, get done more and become a nicer person” In this age of social media, fake news, individualism and information overload, the certainties we relied on in the past are gone. In our quest for assurance and support, the only seemingly dependable pillar left is other people. So we look to them. But they are unsettled too. And by looking to them, we create and perpetuate our own vicious stress-cycle. As a result, we lose our sensible selves. And we go bananas. But there is good news. If we look around us, there are people who withstand the collective lunacy and stay grounded. They do something that most of us have a hard time doing: they stay themselves. And the best news is that what they can do, you can do too. It doesn’t require any special talents or supernatural powers. It only requires doing. In this amiable, open and accessible book, Jeroen Kraaijenbrink takes you on his personal journey out of Bananaland. Drawing from cognitive psychology, martial arts, Saint Benedict, personal experience, and a wide range of other sources, the book offers a nine-step approach with some remarkably practical advice for keeping a cool head in the collective lunacy. “Free yourself from the collective lunacy and reclaim your calm and sensible self”

When self-help books don't work for you

Publisher: Warren Lake
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
Some readers continue to be sceptical of the advice in self-help books and there are understandable reasons for this perspective. However, this book argues for an alternative approach to self-help, which is the noble aspiration of attempting to achieve objectivity. The core idea being that if you’re wrong at any point, you can change your mind because you’re invested in the aspiration of objective truth, rather than a fixed idea. Investigating reasons why self-help doesn’t work provides insight into what can be done to make engagement with self-help more effective.

I'd Like To Call for Help, but I Don't Know the Number
Author: Abraham J. Twerski
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466881887
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Do you have to be religious to be spiritual? Can you have a spiritual life and not believe in God? These and other profound questions are explored by Dr. Twerski in I'd Like To Call For Help But I Don't Know the Number: The Search for the Spirituality in Everyday Life. He shows us how to open ourselves up to the deeper aspects of our lives that are often obscured by concerns about success and material wealth. True spiritual discovery, Dr. Twerski suggests, involves more than overcoming selfishness or dependency; it also requires a journey of self-improvement, character development, and respect for others. Inspired by the Alcoholics Anonymous groups he encountered in his clinical practice, Dr. Twerski outlines a twelve-step program for spiritual growth through self-awareness, service, and self-management. He illustrates his program throughout with true success stories he has witnessed over the years. "Abe Twerski provides us with an understanding of our spiritual side . . . It's like a conversation with a warm and trusted friend." - Betty Ford

Help! I Don't Want to Feel like This!
Author: Samuel Richardson III
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098089820
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
There are many who struggle at the loss of any kind and the rising thoughts of defeat, which can seem crippling to life. There are times when we need someone to talk to or with who can intervene as we travel on the highway to self-destruction. As it is, life all by itself can present us with situations and circumstances that can appear derailing because we are not sure how or what to do about them. If you lose a loved one, it can be a crippling event; however, everyone will not experience the same emotional tie or disconnection simply because of the nature of that relationship. Within the same family structure, there will be different reactions and feelings. It all depends on the depth of the relationship. And understand, the love we have for our family will always outweigh our ability to provide for them. In life, we find ourselves being caregivers to those whom we love and care for dearly. We give all we have regarding doing what we can with what we have, and some may still impose upon us the feelings of falling short simply from their prospective of what is being done. It will be these responses of disregard that push some, if not many, over the edge toward giving up, frustration, and even relational disconnection. We commit ourselves to provide care in areas that are beyond our understood abilities, only to at times be humiliated and aggravated to the point of giving up and shutting down. And while it is not fair to you, those who express their discontent with your efforts seem to not be concerned with what those negative comments may do to you. This is that part of life that can be daunting to the unsupported. This is that time in our lives when, if we are not sure of our mental resolve and spiritual determination to try knowing that help will be provided, we can easily find life more challenging than desired. So how do we get through these times? What do we do when it seems there is no support? Are we allowed to walk away when we feel we have nothing left to give? These are the kinds of questions that the author endeavors to bring clarity to. As a counselor by desire and having experienced many who have struggled with life's many challenges as a result of losing a loved one, the goal with this work is to provide some sense of guidance for those struggling with the thoughts of frustration and bewilderment. Will all your questions be answered? I am sure they will not, but at least, you will have a better grasp on why you are, where you are, in dealing with your struggle. Yes, as a pastor by calling, this work is laced with biblical insights that prayerfully will provide a sound and structured focus for the reader. This is a Christian counseling method using the strongest means of awakening possible, the Word of God. The primary intention of this book is to give the reader a spiritual understanding of the stress and frustration that may be taking place in their lives because of life's challenges because of loss. I want you to hear with your heart and mind and understand why you are having the experience you have. Yes, your thinking will be challenged, and what you call faith will be questioned, but your end resolve is in your acceptance of your reality of life.
