BenBella Books The Psychology of Superheroes: An Unauthorized
Book SynopsisThis latest installment in the Psychology of Popular Culture series turns its focus to superheroes. Superheroes have survived and fascinated for more than 70 years in no small part due to their psychological depth. In The Psychology of Superheroes, almost two dozen psychologists get into the heads of today's most popular and intriguing superheroes. Why do superheroes choose to be superheroes? Where does Spider-Man's altruism come from, and what does it mean? Why is there so much prejudice against the X-Men, and how could they have responded to it, other than the way they did? Why are super-villains so aggressive? The Psychology of Superheroes answers these questions, exploring the inner workings our heroes usually only share with their therapists.Trade Review"Many of the authors [preeminent practicing psychologists] take their subject matter and have fun with it." —Honolulu Weekly

BenBella Books The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve
Book SynopsisIt's the reason why spending time on Facebook makes us feel sad and lonely. Why expensive name-brand medicines provide better pain relief than the generic stuff, even if they share the same ingredients. And why a hospital room with a good view speeds up recovery from surgery. The truth is, the way we think about ourselves and the world around us dramatically impacts our happiness, health, how fast or slow we age, and even how long we live. In fact, people with a positive mindset about aging live on average 7.5 years longer than those without. That might sound alarming to those of us who struggle to see the bright side, but the good news is we can make surprisingly simple changes or small shifts to how we think, feel, and act that will really pay off. In The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity, Dr. Catherine Sanderson breaks down the science of thought and shows how our mindset—or thought pattern—exerts a substantial influence on our psychological and physical health. Most important, this book demonstrates how, no matter what our natural tendency, with practice we can make minor tweaks in our mindset that will improve the quality—and longevity—of our life. Combining cutting-edge research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, as well as vivid real-world examples of the power of mindset, The Positive Shift gives readers practical and easy strategies for changing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors so they can live longer, happier lives. These behaviors include: • Appreciating nature, with actions as simple as eating lunch outside • Giving to others, like volunteering • Spending money on experiences, not possessions Living your best life is truly mind over matter. Believe in yourself and rethink your way to a happier reality.Trade Review"The research is clear: Your mindset is one of the greatest predictors of your success and well-being. With practical strategies and stories, Catherine Sanderson shows you how to apply this research at work, with your family, and in your own life." —Shawn Achor, New York Times bestselling author of Before Happiness and The Happiness Advantage "A smart and engaging exploration of the science of happiness and how we can use it on our own lives." —Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness and professor of psychology at Harvard University "As someone who in the past has suffered from anxiety and depression, I only wish this book had been available in those dark days . . . Professor Sanderson shares in her warm and conversational voice what really makes a difference to our mental health, from using money to save time, to planning a trip (even better than going on one), and why we should give gifts to everyone . . . Above all, this is a book that gives hope. We can change our mindset, and in doing so we really can become happier, healthier, and even live longer. Here's to making The Positive Shift." —Rachel Kelly, bestselling author of Walking on Sunshine: 52 Small Steps to Happiness "The Positive Shift offers a rare and valuable combination by offering deeply practical advice about what can seem an impossibly abstract problem: How can we use our big brains to increase our well-being?" —Michael Norton, professor at Harvard Business School and coauthor of Happy Money "Everyone seeking to live a long and successful life needs The Positive Shift! Catherine Sanderson's mantra that our mindsets have powerful influences on our performance—good and bad—gives us an incredible set of tools to make important changes at any stage of life. " —Marc E. Agronin, MD, author of The End of Old Age: Living a Longer, More Purposeful Life "Dr. Catherine Sanderson, nationally recognized as a fabulous teacher, researcher, corporate speaker and consultant, has gifted us with a goldmine of information to reduce stress and improve our life. Using only empirically significant research findings, case histories, personal anecdotes and foibles, and self-quizzes, Professor Sanderson provides clear and compelling take-home instructions for adopting a positive mindset. Her warm and accessible writing style will definitely enable you to become happier, healthier, wiser and live longer." —Dr. James B. Maas, Weiss Presidential Fellow and former Professor and Chair of Psychology at Cornell University and CEO of Sleep for Success "The Positive Shift is a lucid work, drawing upon the latest scientific findings, that will enable readers to enhance their health and well-being in daily life. I especially liked Dr. Sanderson's ability to weave events from her own life into this tapestry designed to help others." —Edward Hoffman, PhD, author of Paths to Happiness: 50 Ways to Add Joy to Your Life Every DayTable of ContentsContents IntroductionPart 1: Discovering MindsetChapter 1: Mindset MattersChapter 2: Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers: Mindset Affects HealthChapter 3: Older Adults Are Wise, Not Forgetful: Mindset Affects MemoryChapter 4: Secrets of Centenarians: Mindset Affects LongevityPart 2: Understanding MindsetChapter 5: Are You Tigger or Eeyore: Personality MattersChapter 6: “Comparison Is the Thief of Joy”: Environment MattersChapter 7: Embrace Adversity: Trauma MattersPart 3: Changing MindsetChapter 8: Change Your Behavior and Your Mindset Will FollowChapter 9: Nature Does the Mind and Body GoodChapter 10: Spend Money Wisely: Take a Trip, See a Play, Go to a GameChapter 11: Give a Gift—to AnyoneChapter 12: Build Relationships: All You Need Is LoveConclusionAcknowledgmentsNotesAbout the AuthorIndex

Hatherleigh Press Choosing Help
Book SynopsisLearn to understand why people refuse to get help for their mental health and substance use issues—and how to encourage them to change their mind.Why is it so hard to ask for help, especially when we need it the most? There are a variety of reasons why individuals resist treatment, harming themselves and their loved ones in the process. In Choosing Help, psychologist Tracy Stecker, PhD, provides an in-depth exploration of these barriers to betterment, and the mindsets that produce them, and most importantly, how to break them down.While past strategies have focused on the family or community to help engage the individual toward treatment, Choosing Help draws on decades of research data to create an evidence-based intervention system for changing an individual’s thought process to one which can embrace the choice to ask for help.With concise analysis and illuminating case studies, each chapter highlights a particular reason to resist treatment, like: “Treatment won’t work.” “I’m not ready.” “I don’t need help.” “I can handle it on my own.” “I don’t want ‘that’ type of treatment.” “It’s too hard to open up.” Whether you're wrestling with your own resistance or struggling to support someone who is, this is a vital resource for understanding why help is hard to choose—and how to make it easier.

Allen & Unwin Sleep Easy
Book SynopsisBad sleep sucks. Sleep deficiency defies our biology and sabotages our days. Yet more than a third of us struggle to get to sleep or stay asleep at night.We can shake off the odd sleepless night, but when sleep difficulties persist, things start to unravel. Sleep debt takes its toll on our mood, energy, and productivity. It affects our behaviour around food and exercise as well as eroding our immunity, even our mental and physical health. As our best efforts to help ourselves fail, or perpetuate the problem, we can feel disillusioned, disempowered and frustratingly stuck.You're not alone, and there is a way through. This six-week, step-by-step guide will help you sleep easy.Bernice Tuffery, fed up after years of compromised sleep, made it her mission to learn how to sleep well again. She'd tried early nights, warm baths, a bit of yoga and meditation, but nothing worked. Even natural supplements, over-the-counter sleep aids, melatonin, and at times sleeping pills, failed to deliver a sustainable solution. As a qualitative market researcher, she was determined to know how to sleep naturally again.She discovered a proven, natural, and very learnable way to improve chronic sleep difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is recognised internationally by sleep experts as the gold-standard treatment for insomnia. But with a lack of awareness, a severe shortage of experts offering it and virtually no public funding for treatment in New Zealand and Australia, it's hard and expensive to access.From her discussions with sleep professionals, extensive research and her lived-experience of restoring her own sleep, Bernice shares her knowledge with humour and heart. Confident that CBTi can be self-taught, she offers this practical and inspiring insiders' guide to getting a good night's sleep.

Doch Disharmonie, Streit und Gewalt bringen dem Menschen immer wieder Leid. Unversehens geraten wir in Prozesse der Dämonisierung des Anderen, der anderen Gruppe, des anderen Volkes. Wir nehmen das Gegenüber nur noch in negativem Licht wahr, machen es zum Monster, das es mit aller Macht zu bekämpfen gilt.Die psychotherapeutisch tätigen Autoren erklären, wie es dazu kommt, und zeigen – auch anhand überzeugender Fallbeispiele – Wege der Deeskalation und Entdämonisierung.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Meine kleine Seelenwerkstatt: 50 hilfreiche Tools
Book SynopsisWer länger im Stressmodus läuft, verliert Selbstvertrauen und den Zugang zu den eigenen Stärken, Ressourcen und Problemlösungskompetenzen. Resilienz ist der Schlüssel, der uns aus schwierigen Lebenslagen heraus hilft. Wer sich selbst stärken kann, den haut der stärkste Sturm nicht um. Das ist das Credo dieses Ratgebers. Mit den hilfreichen Werkzeugen der Seelenklempnerin gelingt es uns gelassener durchs Leben zu kommen. Während die Handwerkzeuge uns aktivieren, etwas Neues auszuprobieren, wie etwa die Dreißiger-Zone oder die Juchee-Haltung, bei der wir durch das Einnehmen einer bestimmten Körperhaltung oder Bewegung in fröhliche Stimmung versetzt werden, regen die Kopfwerkzeuge zum Nachdenken, Vorausschauen, Reflektieren und Imaginieren an. Einige Behelfe aus dem Werkzeugkoffer bieten beides – sie setzen neue Gedanken in Gang und motivieren, Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu erproben. Selbstwirksamkeit gibt uns Selbstvertrauen und ermutigt uns, positiver auf Dinge zu schauen. So wie wir froh sind, wenn wir nicht für jeden Nagel, den wir in die Wand schlagen wollen, einen Handwerker rufen müssen, so tut es uns gut, ein gewisses Maß an Seelenkompetenz zu haben. Mit dieser Fähigkeit kommen wir schneller und leichter aus schwierigen Situationen wieder heraus - oder geraten gar nicht erst in solche belastenden Lagen hinein. Für alle, die gelassener durchs Leben gehen möchten.Trade Review“...

The sexual content is handled with great balance, neither prudish and euphemistic nor crude and voyeuristic. That isn’t easy to achieve, but achieve it Baird has. -- Rob Brooks, director of the Evolution and Ecology Research Centre, UNSW Sydney, and author of Sex, Genes, and Rock ‘n’ Roll: How Evolution Has Shaped the Modern WorldThe taboo on talking about changes in sex drive and sexual behaviors following brain damage is over!

Schacter, author of The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers -- Daniel L. Schachter"Kagan’s arguments are convincing and pose a timely question: How can the social sciences treat the complexity of their subjects responsibly? . . . His quiet insistence on the devastating moral costs of less easily quantifiable sources of human suffering, such as poverty, makes clear the high stakes of this question."—American Scholar * American Scholar *"Kagan’s thought is easy to follow, his prose pleasant to read, and his opinions clear."—Publishers Weekly * Publishers Weekly *"On Being Human is an extensive and sharp account of the fundamental issues in psychology.

Among the characters in this adventure are her two dogs; a founding scientist named Fred Skinner; a Navy dolphin trainer, Bob Bailey; a distinguished behavior analyst, Murray Sidman—and me. I’m honored to be in her book and very grateful for her explanation of how this works. Click, Melissa!" -- Karen Pryor, author of Reaching the Animal Mind"Scientifically, artfully, and with the bold premise that gently training a dog can set the animal’s ‘master’ on the path to enlightenment in all areas of life, Melissa Holbrook Pierson’s new book proves how ‘intelligent’ humans have more in common with the bestiary’s ‘dumb’ creatures than some of us will care to admit. Are you man enough to follow a canine master? More to the point, are you beast enough?

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Scientific American Book of Love Sex and the
Book SynopsisWho do we love? Who loves us? And why? Is love really a mystery, or can neuroscience offer some answers to these age-old questions? In her third enthralling book about the brain, Judith Horstman takes us on a lively tour of our most important sex and love organ and the whole smorgasbord of our many kinds of love-from the bonding of parent and child to the passion of erotic love, the affectionate love of companionship, the role of animals in our lives, and the love of God. Drawing on the latest neuroscience, she explores why and how we are born to love-how we''re hardwired to crave the companionship of others, and how very badly things can go without love. Among the findings: parental love makes our brain bigger, sex and orgasm make it healthier, social isolation makes it miserable-and although the craving for romantic love can be described as an addiction, friendship may actually be the most important loving relationship of your life. Based on recent studies anTrade Review"This basic introduction to the neuroscience of love and sex is a good starting place for readers new to the subject...one hopes it will whet readers' appetites for more nuanced explorations of this area of research."
