Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us struggle to learn who we are and find our purpose, despite life's many obstacles. For author Rick Caudill, the struggle began early with a childhood in poverty raised by abusive, alcoholic parents. When his parents abandon him and his seven-year-old brother, he is determined to improve their lives and build a life for himself. He joins the US Medical Service Corps and later becomes a highly successful oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a blind and deaf daughter flourishing in her education. But the human condition is fragile. Suffering from an infectious disease he contracts from a patient, and already diagnosed with mental illnesses, Caudill begins to self-medicate his depression with alcohol and illicit drugs. Derailed by mental illness, substance abuse, and addiction, he loses everything he worked for -- including his freedom and his family. In this heroically candid memoir, Caudill takes responsibility for his poor decisions, details the plight of having a brain chemical imbalance while navigating the bureaucracy of prison, reveals injustices within the Pima County Criminal Justice System and the Arizona Medical Society, and explains the healing power of surrendering one's life to Jesus Christ and embracing His redemptive power. Choices Change Destiny details the rise, fall, and resurrection of a man who undergoes some of life's hardest trials and tribulations but comes out on the other side a better and fully recovered person. Ultimately, it is a story of hope that will resonate with readers of any background.

Download or read book The Illusion of Will Self and Time written by Jonathan Bricklin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Seminary Co-op Notable Book of 2016 William James is often considered a scientist compromised by his advocacy of mysticism and parapsychology. Jonathan Bricklin argues James can also be viewed as a mystic compromised by his commitment to common sense. James wanted to believe in will, self, and time, but his deepest insights suggested otherwise. "Is consciousness already there waiting to be uncovered and is it a veridical revelation of reality?" James asked shortly before his death in 1910. A century after his death, research from neuroscience, physics, psychology, and parapsychology is making the case, both theoretically and experimentally, that answers James's question in the affirmative. By separating what James passionately wanted to believe, based on common sense, from what his insights and researches led him to believe, Bricklin shows how James himself laid the groundwork for this more challenging view of existence. The non-reality of will, self, and time is consistent with James's psychology of volition, his epistemology of self, and his belief that Newtonian, objective, even-flowing time does not exist.
