Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our society it is forbidden to "love". It was some kind of unnecessary feeling that humans felt towards someone they really "liked". They got into "relationships" and sometimes even "married" each other. Our schools teach us why "love" is unnecessary and doesn't contribute to a fulfilling life. We live to make a carrier. To be successful. And to do that, you should not rely on anyone, but focus on yourself to optimize your future. Now all of us have a meaning in life, a path we want to follow, not caring about these irrelevant emotions that keep us from growing, from becoming the best version of ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foluke Omosules father seemingly had it all: lots of money, lots of women, and lots of smarts. But the business-savvy Nigerian also had a bad heart, and even after doctors warned him that he needed to change his lifestyle, he continued eating and drinking whatever he wanted. Even when his daughter tried to intervene, he refused to modify his behaviors, and died prematurely when he should be enjoying his children and grandchildren.

Foluke, a long time registered nurse, who spent over twelve years in cardiology service, explains who is most likely to develop heart failure in this handbook.

Youll also get a heart failure medical checklist, an appendix of terms, and answers to common questions that many people are too afraid to ask. With early detection and determination, its never too late to take advantage of a second chance to live a healthy lifestyle and win the fight against heart failure.
Download or read book The Heart of Change written by John P. Kotter and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the process of change Why is change so hard? Because in order to make any transformation successful, you must change more than just the structure and operations of an organization—you need to change people’s behavior. And that is never easy. The Heart of Change is your guide to helping people think and feel differently in order to meet your shared goals. According to bestselling author and renowned leadership expert John Kotter and coauthor Dan Cohen, this focus on connecting with people’s emotions is what will spark the behavior change and actions that lead to success. Now freshly designed, The Heart of Change is the engaging and essential complement to Kotter’s worldwide bestseller Leading Change. Building off of Kotter’s revolutionary eight-step process, this book vividly illustrates how large-scale change can work. With real-life stories of people in organizations, the authors show how teams and individuals get motivated and activated to overcome obstacles to change—and produce spectacular results. Kotter and Cohen argue that change initiatives often fail because leaders rely too exclusively on data and analysis to get buy-in from their teams instead of creatively showing or doing something that appeals to their emotions and inspires them to spring into action. They call this the see-feel-change dynamic, and it is crucial for the success of any true organizational transformation. Refreshingly clear and eminently practical, The Heart of Change is required reading for anyone facing the challenges inherent in leading change.

Download or read book An Arrow Through the Heart written by Deborah Daw Heffernan and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the words of Mehmet Oz, MD: “An Arrow Through the Heart is an epiphany for women who mistakenly believe that they are immune from the ravages of heart disease. Using her heart as a magnifying glass, Deborah Daw Heffernan provides readers with a window into their souls.” This groundbreaking memoir was first mentioned on Oprah Winfrey’s life-saving 2002 show announcing cardiovascular disease as a leading cause of death among young women. That tragic fact is still true. With both depth and humor, Deborah Daw Heffernan recounts her first year of recovery from the massive heart attack that ambushed her in a gentle yoga class—during the prime of her life and despite her impeccable health history. Ranging from high-stakes action in the OR at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to quietly unfolding seasons on a lake in Maine, An Arrow Through the Heart is a moving and informative story of what it takes to find one’s own path to true healing. Ultimately, Heffernan combines allopathic and complementary medicine to create a sensible recovery strategy for our times. She touchingly describes her husband’s devotion and the toll that her cardiovascular disease takes on him, as well as how he, too, grew from the experience. Weaving their story with the lives of family and friends, Heffernan demonstrates how illness can be transformative for all involved. Not only an empowering companion for cardiac patients, this medical classic is a guide to recovery from catastrophic change of any kind. Above all, it is a powerful testament to the unexpected joy that can come from leading a life of acknowledged impermanence. Updates include cardiovascular data for today’s reader, links to the author’s website and other resources, a new section on SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection), and— spoiler alert—a heart transplant in 2006. All author’s proceeds are donated to cardiac causes. Deborah Daw Heffernan is a graduate of Georgetown and Harvard Universities. She has worked as a teacher in Switzerland, an associate dean at Boston University, and a freelance writer. For fourteen years she was vice president of a leading Boston-based corporate training/consulting firm—until a near-fatal heart attack changed her life forever. She lives with her husband, Jack, on a small lake in Maine.

Download or read book Therapy with Tough Clients written by George Gafner and published by Crown House Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you're fairly new to therapy or you've practiced for many years, no doubt at times you've found yourself stumped with certain clients who leave you feeling perplexed and discouraged with that 'I-just-don't-know-what-to-do-next' feeling. George Gafner has been there and that's precisely why he wrote this book. The reality is that today's cookie-cutter treatment mentality presupposes that all people with, say, depression, can be treated essentially the same way, which virtually ignores the established fact that a good deal of a person's mental functioning is governed not by conscious choice but instead by automatic, or unconscious, forces that lie outside voluntary control
