Most importantly, it takes us away from our lives, our relationships, and the real world. But although it may seem impossible, there is always a way to overcome digital distraction: you can always turn off your phone. In Unplug, Richard Richard Simon lays out a plan to detox from your phone, including different breakup styles, things to do with your newfound time, lightly reintegrating a smartphone into your life, and finally, helping others quit. These tips and strategies are interspersed with success stories, including Simon''s own story of turning off his phone for a whole year, plus those of 29 others, including a professional baseball player (Nick Castellanos), bestselling authors on digital usage and addiction (Cal Newport and Ed Spector, respectively), physicians who specialize in digital wellness, as well as ordinary folks including a principal, a pastor, and a couple who quit their phones together.

Duke University Press Diary of a Detour
Book SynopsisDiary of a Detour is film scholar and author Lesley Stern''s memoir of living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. She chronicles the fears and daily experience of coming to grips with an incurable form of cancer by describing the dramas and delving into the science. Stern also nudges cancer off center stage by turning to alternative obsessions and pleasures. In seductive writing she describes her life in the garden and kitchen, the hospital and the library, and her travels—down the street to her meditation center, across the border to Mexico, and across the world to Australia. Her immediate world is inhabited with books, movies, politics, and medical reports that provoke essayistic reflections. As her environment is shared with friends, chickens, a cat called Elvis, mountain goats, whales, lions, and microbes the book opens onto a larger than human world. Intimate and meditative, engrossing and singular, Diary of a Detour offers new ideas about what it might mean to Trade Review“Diary of a Detour is such a great book, excessive like Lesley Stern's own intense appetite for life that includes her wide knowledge about the intricacies of disease. It's the most pleasurable cancer book imaginable. I was riveted, the specificity of the writing is a drug. Stern has written a wonderful, stirring, magnificent book. Oh, World, you are the love object of this hardworking, self-deprecating extravagant genius.” -- Eileen Myles, author of * Evolution *“Diary of a Detour is wonderful on so many levels. Besides being an extraordinary writer, Lesley Stern is emotionally and intellectually sophisticated in such subtle and deep ways. She outlines the stakes of learning to live and feel in the grip of inescapable finitude and mortality, together with others of many kinds and species, but also alone, as irreducibly this vulnerable person and no other. I love this book.” -- Donna J. Haraway, author of * Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene *"What emerges most powerfully is Stern’s determination to live—not just to stay alive but, as Tennyson writes in 'Ulysses,' 'To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.' . . . A mixture of the mundane and the medical, the ordinary and the extraordinary." * Kirkus Reviews *"[Stern's] final book, the magnificent Diary of a Detour (2020) that appeared just before her passing, records how the force of obsession – obsessions with planting and tending, with chickens, with the growing and preparing of food, with the cycles of nature – literally prolonged her life, pulling her through into new and brilliant investigations, and an ever-widening collaboration with activists at all levels of the environmental movement." -- Adrian Martin * ArtsHub *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix 1.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company ADHD: A Hunter in a Farmer's World
Book SynopsisA newly revised and updated edition of the classic guide to reframing our view of ADHD and embracing its benefits * Explains that people with ADHD are not disordered or dysfunctional, but simply “hunters in a farmer’s world”--possessing a unique mental skill set that would have allowed them to thrive in a hunter-gatherer society * Offers concrete non-drug methods and practices to help hunters--and their parents, teachers, and managers--embrace their differences, nurture creativity, and find success in school, at work, and at home * Reveals how some of the world’s most successful people can be labeled as ADHD hunters, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Andrew Carnegie With 10 percent of the Western world’s children suspected of having Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADHD, and a growing number of adults self-diagnosing after decades of struggle, the question must be raised: How could Nature make such a “mistake”? In this updated edition of his groundbreaking classic, Thom Hartmann explains that people with ADHD are not abnormal, disordered, or dysfunctional, but simply “hunters in a farmer’s world.” Often highly creative and single-minded in pursuit of a self-chosen goal, those with ADHD symptoms possess a unique mental skill set that would have allowed them to thrive in a hunter-gatherer society. As hunters, they would have been constantly scanning their environment, looking for food or threats (distractibility); they’d have to act without hesitation (impulsivity); and they’d have to love the high-stimulation and risk-filled environment of the hunting field. With our structured public schools, office workplaces, and factories those who inherit a surplus of “hunter skills” are often left frustrated in a world that doesn’t understand or support them. As Hartmann shows, by reframing our view of ADHD, we can begin to see it not as a disorder, but as simply a difference and, in some ways, an advantage. He reveals how some of the world’s most successful people can be labeled as ADHD hunters and offers concrete non-drug methods and practices to help hunters--and their parents, teachers, and managers--embrace their differences, nurture creativity, and find success in school, at work, and at home. Providing a supportive “survival” guide to help fine tune your natural skill set, rather than suppress it, Hartmann shows that each mind--whether hunter, farmer, or somewhere in between--has value and great potential waiting to be tapped.Trade Review“In this groundbreaking book, Thom Hartmann makes a unique contribution to our understanding of ADHD. In considering ADHD in an evolutionary context, Thom was the first to point out the survival advantages of ADHD in hunter-gatherer societies and also the first to identify the link between ADHD and creativity. As such, Thom will be recognized as a pioneer contributing to the reconceptualization of ADHD from being considered only a ‘disorder’ to being viewed as a ‘mode of thought’ characterized by enhanced flexibility and creativity.” * Richard Silberstein, professor emeritus of cognitive neuroscience at Swinburne University *“It is refreshing to find a book that places ADHD in a framework that does not imply dysfunction. . . . The metaphor of a ‘hunter in a farmer’s world’ fits so many of the ADHD youngsters and adults with whom I have worked.” * Margaret (Peg) Dawson, Ed.D., NCSP, codirector of the Center for Learning and Attention Disorders *“Why are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and related conditions so common? Could they in some way be advantageous? These questions and some possible answers are woven through this book, providing basic factual information about ADHD with a twist that helps readers recognize the value--sometimes quite special--of people who have it.” * Dale E. Hammerschmidt, M.D., FACP, emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota *“This book did for our family what years of being in and out of therapy failed to accomplish. It helped us to understand and appreciate each other’s unique way of doing and seeing.” * Janie Bowman, mother of an ADHD adolescent *“A clear and positive view of our remarkable children with practical tips for the parent.” * Stephen C. Davidson, M.Ed., founding member of “Safe Kids” of Georgia *“I highly recommend this book to parents and educators.” * Jack Neerincx, Ph.D., supervising psychologist of Gaston County Schools, North Carolina *“This book helped me better understand ADHD and gave me practical strategies on how to deal with these children in the classroom.” * Anne Bennett, special education teacher, grades K-8 *“ADHDers aren’t abnormal; they are uniquely gifted individuals in their own right. Thom Hartmann describes these ideas in a book that belongs in the hands of every educator, counselor, doctor, and parent.” * Learning Disabilities Newsletter *Table of ContentsFOREWORD Re-affirming the Value of All Human Beings by Michael PopkinPREFACE From Minimal Brain Damage to Hyperactivity to ADHD INTRODUCTIONHunters and Farmers Twenty Years Later PART ONE UNDERSTANDING HUNTERS AND FARMERS ONE ADHD as a State of Mind TWO How to Recognize Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder THREE Hunters in Our Schools and Offices: The Origin of ADHD FOUR “Normal” People: The Origins of AgricultureFIVE Baseline States of Consciousness SIX Could Someone with ADHD Have Survivedin a Primitive Hunting Society?

Profile Books Ltd Understanding and Responding to Self-Harm: The
Book SynopsisSelf-harm is increasingly prevalent in our society. But few of us understand why, or know what to do to help ourselves, friends or family in such situations. It can be very isolating. Understanding and Responding to Self-Harm aims to fill this gap, providing practical information and advice for anyone who has an experience of self-harm. Showing the various forms self-harm can take, this book explores the reasons behind it, and offers advice on self-management, support to others, and what services are available. Full of clear, thoughtful advice for those who may be thinking of harming themselves, or have already done so, as well as guidance for families and friends on helpful strategies and responses - and ones to avoid - it uses evidence from research and direct experience to provide an essential resource.Trade ReviewThis is a must-read book for anyone who has been affected by self-harm. It distils a wealth of knowledge and understanding into a jargon-free text -- Else Guthrie, Professor of Psychological Medicine, University of LeedsI haven't come across anything quite like this before - it's great. At its heart this is a self-help book for people who have harmed themselves but it is underpinned by a robust evidence base. ... The book will also help carers to understand, and health professionals to provide, the high-quality care that people deserve. -- Nav Kapur, Professor of Psychiatry and Population Health, University of ManchesterThis is a must read book for anyone who has been affected or touched by self harm. It distills a wealth of knowledge and understanding into a jargon free text that explains: what self harm is? why people do it? how they can be helped? or how they can help themselves? The book's approach is simple but not simplistic. Complex psychological ideas are presented in ways that can be easily understood, and related directly to personal situations. Advice is given about when and where to seek help. Reading this book feels like listening to very good friend; a warm hearted friend who explains, understands and gives clear, thoughtful, authoritative and helpful advice. Psychiatrists can also learn a lot from reading this book, particularly the non-judgemental way it deals with human frailty. -- Else Guthrie, Professor of Psychological Medicine, University of LeedsI haven't come across anything quite like this before - it's great. At its heart this is a self-help book for people who have harmed themselves but it is underpinned by a robust evidence base. The research never gets in the way though because the book is written in such an engaging and accessible style. It contains a wealth of sensible, practical advice for getting help from family, friends, and health professionals as well as what to expect from services and what to do if you don't get what you need. Professor House also covers everything from the sometimes surprising functions of self-harm, to the unhelpfulness of diagnostic labels, through to the role of social media. The quotes from service users and clinicians keep the book firmly anchored in the real world. But this isn't just a book for people who have hurt themselves. It will also help carers to understand and health professionals to provide the high quality care that people deserve. -- Nav Kapur, Professor of Psychiatry and Population Health, University of Manchester
