Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational writings contained within this book offer hope and positive thoughts. Laugh it Up! Do you laugh at yourself when you fall or make a mistake? I was walking in a parking lot while talking to a friend, and I slipped and fell on a half melted piece of thin ice. There was nothing graceful about this fall – I fell backwards, both legs went up in the air, and I hit the ground hard. I was thankful for two things – I wasn’t hurt and only one other person saw me fall. Laughter erupted out of nowhere. I started cracking up at myself. My friend said, “Are you all right.” I said laughingly, “Yeah, oh my God, that was a hard fall. I’m glad no one else saw me!” I continued laughing uncontrollably. She shook her head and laughed as she said, “Are you all right? You are so crazy. I’m going inside to have someone salt this parking lot.” For some reason, whenever I fall down, such as trip on the stairs, stumble or just fall flat on my butt, laughter erupts from my body. If someone is around and witnesses my klutziness, their first response is concern, but once they know I am okay, they feel at ease and join in the feel-good moment. Don’t be so uptight or take yourself so seriously that you cannot laugh at yourself. When we have good humor about things, it can lighten a tense moment or allow others to have a new perspective in a sticky situation. Falling is a part of life – we all do it. The important thing to do is get back up and continue being positive. We cannot blame others for our falls or failures. When someone witnesses our falling, they can be inspired by our ability to recover with a good attitude. Laughter and lightheartedness are gifts that should be shared to lighten the moment, put others at ease and make our burdens a little lighter to bear.

Book excerpt: Whether you’re newly together and eager to make it work or a longtime couple looking to strengthen and deepen your bond, Eight Dates offers a program of how, why, and when to have eight basic conversations with your partner that can result in a lifetime of love. “Happily ever after” is not by chance, it’s by choice– the choice each person in a relationship makes to remain open, remain curious, and, most of all, to keep talking to one another. From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.

Download or read book On the Psychobiology of Personality written by Robert M Stelmack and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-11-12 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zuckerman received his Ph.D. in psychology from New York University, Graduate School of Arts and Science in 1954 with a specialization in clinical psychology. After graduation, he worked for three years as a clinical psychologist in state hospitals in Norwich, Connecticut and Indianapolis, Indiana. While in the latter position the Institute for Psychiatric Research was opened in the same medical center where he was working as a clinical psychologist. He obtained a position there with a joint appointment in the department of psychiatry. This was his first interdisciplinary experience with other researchers in psychiatry, biochemistry, psychopharmacology, and psychology. His first research areas were personality assessment and the relation between parental attitudes and psychopathology. During this time, he developed the first real trait-state test for affects, starting with the Affect Adjective Check List for anxiety and then broadening it to a three-factor trait-state test including anxiety, depression, and hostility (Multiple Affect Adjective Check List). Later, positive affect scales were added. Toward the end of his years at the institute, the first reports of the effects of sensory deprivation appeared and he began his own experiments in this field. These experiments, supported by grants from NIMH, occupied him for the next 10 years during his time at Brooklyn College, Adelphi University, and the research labs at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. This last job was his second interdisciplinary experience working in close collaboration with Harold Persky who added measures of hormonal changes to the sensory deprivation experiments. He collaborated with Persky in studies of hormonal changes during experimentally (hypnotically) induced emotions. During his time at Einstein, he established relationships with other principal investigators in the area of sensory deprivation and they collaborated on the book Sensory Deprivation: 15 years of research edited by John Zubek (1969). His chapter on theoretical constructs contained the idea of using individual differences in optimal levels of stimulation and arousal as an explanation for some of the variations in response to sensory deprivation. The first sensation seeking scale (SSS) had been developed in the early 1960's based on these constructs. At the time of his move to the University of Delaware in 1969, he turned his full attention to the SSS as the operational measure of the optimal level constructs. This was the time of the drug and sexual revolutions on and off campuses and research relating experience in these areas to the basic trait paid off and is continuing to this day in many laboratories. Two books have been written on this topic: Sensation Seeking: Beyond the Optimal Level of Arousal, 1979; Behavioral Expressions and Biosocial Bases of Sensation Seeking, 1994. Research on sensation seeking in America and countries around the world continues at an unabated level of journal articles, several hundred appearing since the 1994 book on the subject.
