Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Reasons for Black Moods Tips For Controlling Black Moods Taking That Chance Facing a Disappointment Laughter and Music Therapy Sleep – the Great Restorer Meditation and Exercise Plant and Garden Therapy Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Being human beings, especially in an age where stress and strain, as well as tension is a part of human life, is it a surprise that most of us keep suffering from tension induced Black moods. Call them whatever you like – bad tempered, tantrums, disinclination to enjoy anything, gruffness, and a feeling that there is no joy left in life and what is the use of continuing to struggle on in a thankless existence? This book is going to tell you all about Black moods and depression and how they can be potentially harmful for your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. There are a number of people all over the world who spend most of their lives in the depths of despair. When asked the reason why their mood is so pessimistic, or gloomy, they do not have a definite explanation for this phenomenon. Many times this is just to gain attention and soon it becomes a chronic habit because those persons find out that there are going to be people around them trying to coax and cajole them into a better temper. I remember enjoying one of DE Stevenson’s very well written books “The Blue Sapphire” in which the young heroine Julia Harcourt is really glad to get away from her house. Her father was a charming young man, and spoiled in the bargain by his family and the people around him. He imagined that he could get away with anything. And he did something unforgivable for which the family never forgave him. So he spent the rest of his life, making his wife and daughter’s life miserable, because spoiled brats get depressed when they do not get their own way. And as she said to her uncle Randall, “father has spent his life wrapped up in a brown blanket. He never loved me. He has always been miserable. ”And his daughter escaped that house of gloom and melancholy as soon as she could, and never went back again. So if you are subject to those fits of Black moods, not only are you make the people around you unhappy and miserable, but you are also going to suffer from plenty of psychological, emotional, physical and mental problems.

Download or read book Old Memories New Moods Americans from Africa written by Peter I. Rose and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whoever has tried to understand the experience of African Americans in the United States is well aware of its controversial nature. Highly regarded scholars often differ markedly in their interpretations of empirical findings. For many years, for example, the views of Melville J. Herskovits and E. Franklin Frazier about the extent of African influence on American Negro life were hotly debated. More recent controversies include among others, the polemics over Stanley Elkins' interpretation of slavery, over the Moynihan Report, and over William Styron's The Confessions of Nat Turner, all dating from the late twentieth century. Old Memories, New Moods contains essays on the roots of African American protest, comments on the background and character of the Negro Revolt and the Civil Rights Movement, interpretations of the impact and significance of Black Power, and, finally, varied views on changing self-images and the meaning of Black Pride. Original essays written especially for this book include those by Mina Davis Caulfield, August Meier and Elliott Rudwick, Gerald W. Mullin, and the editor. Many other essays by black and white social scientists, psychiatrists, historians, and political figures are offered in careful juxtaposition. Among these contributors are anthropologists Melville J. Herskovits and Ulf Hannerz; social historians Raymond and Alice Bauer, Winthrop D. Jordan, Eugene D. Genovese, Kenneth Stampp, and Stanley Elkins. Conceived as a continuum with volume one, reissued by Transaction earlier, each of the two volumes is distinct and self-contained. The first is particularly concerned with general background and life styles, and the second with protest and attempts to develop new communal activities and avenues of expression. Both should be most useful to all concerned with teaching and learning about African Americans in the United States, be it in traditional social science or history programs, in special seminars, or in African American studies courses. Peter I. Rose is Sophia Smith Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology at the Louise W. and Edmund J. Khan Liberal Arts Institute and a member of the Graduate Faculty of the University of Massachusetts. He has been a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Leicester in England, at Kyoto University in Japan, and at the Flinders University in Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Happiness Project meets So Sad Today in this "hilariously witty, unflinchingly honest" book from Words of Women founder Lauren Martin, as she contemplates the nature of negative emotions -- and the insights that helped her to take control of her life (Bobbi Brown). Five years ago, Lauren Martin was sure something was wrong with her. She had a good job in New York, an apartment in Brooklyn, a boyfriend, yet every day she wrestled with feelings of inferiority, anxiety and irritability. It wasn't until a chance encounter with a (charming, successful) stranger who revealed that she also felt these things, that Lauren set out to better understand the hold that these moods had on her, how she could change them, and began to blog about the wisdom she uncovered. It quickly exploded into an international online community of women who felt like she did: lost, depressed, moody, and desirous of change. Inspired by her audience to press even deeper, The Book of Moodsshares Lauren's journey to infuse her life with a sense of peace and stability. With observations that will resonate and inspire, she dives into the universal triggers every woman faces -- whether it's a comment from your mother, the relentless grind at your job, days when you wish the mirror had a Valencia filter, or all of the above. Blending cutting-edge science, timeless philosophy, witty anecdotes and effective forms of self-care, Martin has written a powerful, intimate, and incredibly relatable chronicle of transformation, proving that you really can turn your worst moods into your best life.
