Download or read book So you think you ve had a bad day written by Rulon Ball and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book is taken from one of the hilarious stories in the book. All of the stories are written about events that have happened to me and others. The clogged drain story is about a secretary who was constipated and took a laxative, then went to work not feeling well. When she sits down on the great white throne, it practically explodes under her. The skunk story will make you wish you had a pet skunk that doesn't stink. My uncle's mule story is so unique and funny you might fall off your chair. Each one is unique and was chosen because it was extra funny or was in some way exciting or otherwise interesting. The Alzheimer's story really gives you food for thought. There are no everyday, run-of-the-mill experiences. Every one of them will either make you laugh, make you cry, or give you something interesting to contemplate. You'll enjoy the shoplifting story. It makes you ask, "Are there really people like that?" Yes, there really are! To avoid confusion about the name Lauren, let me explain. My mother named my older brother, Lauren, after her older brother, Lauren, Jesse's brother. Then I named my middle son, Lauren, after my older brother, Lauren. Therefore, there are three generations of Laurens mentioned in this book. Hope you don't get too confused.

Book excerpt: The journey from childhood to manhood is a difficult time in every boy's life, and never has this transition been more challenging than it is today. In addition to the trials of peer pressure, hormones and popularity, young men must grapple with a culture that places enormous emphasis on physical appeal, material wealth and celebrity status. Television, film and video game heroes have become role models to a generation, and boys are hard-pressed to find reliable answers to the question of what it really means to be a man. Stepping in to help fill the void, 'A Better Man' features interviews and first-person narratives from some of the most respected and engaging men in America today. With sincerity and humor, these surrogate fathers and grandfathers share their experience and advice on courage, service, anger, respect, and a host of other topics. An open letter from one generation to the next, 'A Better Man' sheds some much-needed light on the path to manhood, showing boys another way. A better way.

Download or read book Clinical Guide to Alcohol Treatment written by Robert J. Meyers and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1995-08-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first complete guide to implementing the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), an empirically based, highly effective cognitive-behavioral program for treating alcohol problems. CRA acknowledges the powerful role of environmental contingencies in encouraging or discouraging drinking, and attempts to rearrange these contingencies so that a non-drinking lifestyle is more rewarding than a drinking one. Unique in its breadth, the approach utilizes social, recreational, familial, and vocational strategies to aid clients in the recovery process. This authoritative manual is a hands-on guide to applying these therapeutic procedures. The authors present a step-by-step guide to each component of the treatment plan, many of which have been shown to be effective forms of treatment in themselves. Topics include behavioral skills training, social and recreational counseling, marital therapy, motivational enhancement, job counseling, and relapse prevention. Each chapter provides detailed instructions for conducting a procedure, describes what difficulties to expect, and presents strategies for overcoming them. Sample dialogues between clients and therapists, annotated by the authors, further illuminate the treatment process. The book concludes with a chapter that both addresses the common mistakes made when implementing CRA, and emphasizes the flexibility and benefits of this total treatment plan. This book is an invaluable resource for a wide range of practitioners including psychologists, psychiatrists, substance abuse counselors, and social workers.

Book excerpt: Angela Meadows loved her hair-brained, interfering mother, but this time she’d gone too far! When her mother publicly announced that her latest prophetic dream fated Tarrant Seaton, prominent playboy, to be Angela’s husband, the timing couldn’t be more tragic. Angela had just been hired by Delila Seaton to remodel parts of the Seaton mansion as well as the family owned chocolate factory. Though humiliated, Angela would not be driven to quit. Working for the beloved matriarch of Seatonville, Kansas, would help her fledgling business finally get into the black and give her the boost in confidence she so badly needed. To Tarrant, Angela Meadows was just another conniving gold digger, no matter how wide eyed, innocent, and alluring she seemed. He had to credit her with smarts, after all. She’d sweet-talked his trusting mother into hiring her – and now he’d be tripping over her at home and at work! Well played, little Miss Wolf-in-Sheep’s-Clothing! Make no mistake, Tarrant Seaton was no babe in the woods when it came to crafty, mercenary females! Even if there was something strangely captivating about this particular female… Now—it was his move.
