Book excerpt: Looking for a journal notebook that you can keep for yourself or give your favorite negative friend as a gift? We've got you covered. By now, we're all aware of the fact that we're supposed to "think positively" all the time, that "our inner worlds create our outer worlds," and that we'll be happier if we just think happy thoughts all the time. That's super great if you're a naturally happy person or if your life is perfect, but it doesn't leave a heck of a lot of space for you to actually feel some negative feelings.Negative feelings, remember those? The ones that are supposed to be toxic to your soul, because "what you focus on grows and expands and becomes your reality"? The feelings you've been trying to squelch down since the rise of the positive psychology movement?Here's a thought-what if you just aired those feelings out? What if, instead of trying to just "think a happy thought," you really just sat down and got all of those angry and negative thoughts out of your system?

She defines the Bright and Dark Flames, discusses keeping them in balance, and then offers thought-provoking essays about using this framework in everyday life. Covering topics from creating a FlameKeeping-based society to being comfortable with one's self (alone, but not lonely) to raising children with the precepts of this framework to dealing with societal parasites, this is a practical workbook designed to help readers probe their own worldview and discover deeper answers via prompts at the end of each essay. She also sets forth the concept of a Wayfinder, one who asks the questions that lead people to investigate themselves and their surroundings within a FlameKeeping mindset.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there are people, just like some flowers, who require the dark to bloom? When we are plunged into the dark and difficult times in life, one of three things can happen next: the darkness can destroy us; it can leave us relatively unchanged; or it can help to transform us. In this hope-inspiring guide, clinical psychologist, Michelle Pearce, PhD, provides practical tools and wisdom for transforming and thriving in adversity and loss. Just as some flowers require the dark to bloom, there are some people who do their best growing and becoming during dark and challenging times. With a compassionate voice, Pearce shares her clinical expertise, her own journey through the dark, and inspiring stories of other Night Bloomers to help individuals learn how to heal and transform their lives not in spite of their difficult times, but because of them. “Reading Night Bloomers is like having a dear friend right alongside you for support when most needed. Through stories, strategies, and writing prompts, Pearce provides powerful tools for building resilience, confidence, and joy. She reminds us that like plants, we don’t bloom just once, as she gently, masterfully paves a path for us to enjoy a lifetime of growing and blossoming. A ‘must-read’ for anyone seeking some light in the darkness.” --Caroline Welch, CEO and cofounder of the Mindsight Institute and author of The Gift of Presence “A gem of a book!

Night Bloomers is a therapeutic tool for healing based upon the transformative power of rewriting our stories of loss. Night Bloomers inspires readers to use sorrow as the soil in which to grow something beautiful.” --Laura J. Oliver, author of The Story Within “In Night Bloomers, Dr. Pearce offers a very practical, evidence based, journaling approach to productively cope with the challenges of adversity.

Koenig, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina “Night Bloomers shows how an intentional change in perspective and use of expressive writing exercises can bring hope and light, not at the end, but right in the middle of a dark tunnel. Night Bloomers is a sorely needed bright spot showing us the way to a happier, more hopeful life ahead. --Holly G. Prigerson, PhD, Professor of Sociology in Medicine and Director, Cornell Center for Research on End-of-Life Care, Weill Cornell Medicine “Reading Night Bloomers is like having tea with your wisest, most loving friend who asks you tough questions with love and makes you think more deeply about every difficult experience.

Download or read book You Are Not Your Brain written by Jeffrey Schwartz MD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two neuroscience experts explain how their 4-Step Method can help identify negative thoughts and change bad habits for good. A leading neuroplasticity researcher and the coauthor of the groundbreaking books Brain Lock and The Mind and the Brain, Jeffrey M. Schwartz has spent his career studying the human brain. He pioneered the first mindfulness-based treatment program for people suffering from OCD, teaching patients how to achieve long-term relief from their compulsions. Schwartz works with psychiatrist Rebecca Gladding to refine a program that successfully explains how the brain works and why we often feel besieged by overactive brain circuits (i.e. bad habits, social anxieties, etc.) the key to making life changes that you want—to make your brain work for you—is to consciously choose to “starve” these circuits of focused attention, thereby decreasing their influence and strength. You Are Not Your Brain carefully outlines their program, showing readers how to identify negative impulses, channel them through the power of focused attention, and ultimately lead more fulfilling and empowered lives.
