Book SynopsisScientists Making a Difference is a fascinating collection of first-person narratives from the top psychological scientists of the modern era. These readable essays highlight the most important contributions to theory and research in psychological science, show how the greatest psychological scientists formulate and think about their work, and illustrate how their ideas develop over time. In particular, the authors address what they consider their most important scientific contribution, how they got the idea, how the idea matters for the world beyond academic psychology, and what they would like to see as the next steps in research. The contributors, who were chosen from an objectively compiled list of the most eminent psychological scientists, provide a broad range of insightful perspectives. This book is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals interested in learning about the development of the biggest ideas in modern psychological science, described firsthand bTrade Review'In 100 autobiographical essays, psychology's preeminent contributors reveal the roots and fruits of their famed contributions. Here are stories for posterity, from the funding barriers that challenged Thomas Bouchard's study of reared-apart twins, to Michael Gazzaniga's exhilaration on discovering the wonders of human split-brains, to Carol Dweck's 'me-search' on how she and others could find a thriving mindset when facing obstacles. This is living history - and a great read for both psychological scientists and students.' David G. Myers, Hope College, Michigan'Reading this book is like spending an afternoon chatting with some of psychology's most prominent scholars. They talk about the significance of their work, describe how they honed their creative ideas, and offer advice for dealing with failures, adversity, and success. The authors invite us inside their laboratories and provide a rare insight into the process of making a difference.' Diane Halpern, Dean of Social Sciences, Emerita, Minerva Schools at KGI and Professor of Psychology, Emerita, Claremont McKenna College, California'Asking a couple 'How did you two meet?' inevitably elicits an interesting story, and this is essentially what the editors of this volume have done by asking a group of eminent psychological scientists to talk about their love affairs with their work. The result is a set of brief but fascinating stories that not only inspire admiration of these brilliant authors but will surely lead some of today's best students to dream of following in their footsteps.' Douglas Bernstein, University of South Florida'A wonderful book and an instant classic. In this remarkable series of essays bookended by two thought-provoking summaries, 100 eminent psychological scholars offer readers an insider's glimpse of how to achieve scientific excellence.

Psychology lovers will find the often surprising insights from our field's premier scholars invaluable, and will have a difficult time putting the book down. Great fun and highly recommended.' Scott O. Lilienfeld, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Psychology, Emory University, Atlanta and Editor, Clinical Psychological Science'In engaging and highly personal essays, the most eminent psychologists of our time show the human side of their life's work. Anyone with an interest in the influences behind the key theories and findings of the discipline will be captivated by this volume.' Robert S. Feldman, Deputy Chancellor, University of Massachusetts, Amherst'Surely every psychological researcher or professor will want to read this insightful book. Moreover, every student should be required to read it. Most undergraduate psychology majors and even many graduate students can name hundreds of athletes, singers, and actors, but they struggle to name any living psychologist other than their professors and 'Dr Phil'. It's about time we call attention to our research rock stars!' James Kalat, Professor Emeritus, North Carolina State University'Even beyond the Who's Who of psychological scientists represented by the authors and editors of this volume (and talk about an impossible task to begin with!), the sum of the topics contained throughout these chapters makes the indisputable case for psychological science as the way forward in understanding so much of what is important in our world.' Alan Kraut, Association for Psychological Science, Executive Director Emeritus'A wonderful collection of essays from psychology's A-listers.

Book SynopsisHow can individuals best be encouraged to take more responsibility for their well-being and their environment or to behave more ethically in their business transactions? Across the world, governments are showing a growing interest in using behavioural economic research to inform the design of nudges which, some suggest, might encourage citizens to adopt beneficial patterns of behaviour. In this fascinating collection, leading academic economists, psychologists and philosophers reflect on how behavioural economic findings can be used to help inform the design of policy initiatives in the areas of health, education, the environment, personal finances and worker remuneration. Each chapter is accompanied by a shorter 'response' that provides critical commentary and an alternative perspective. This accessible book will interest academic researchers, graduate students and policy-makers across a range of disciplinary perspectives.Trade Review'In this exciting new book some of the world's leading economists greatly expand the new field of the behavioural economics of public policy. From their insights we will have better governance on issues ranging from health care to disclosure practice to the environment.' George A. Akerlof, University of California, Berkeley, and Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001'This subject is at the heart of the reform of public services in the twenty-first century. The need to provide better public services with fewer resources, combined with recent advances in behavioural sciences, is creating a quiet revolution in the way public policy is analysed and services are delivered. This book is essential reading for all interested in improving public policy and services.' Lord Gus O'Donnell, Former Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service'The field of behavioral economics has evolved rapidly over the past thirty years, and this exciting volume shows how these developments can be applied to important policy questions. This book is a valuable source of insight for practitioners, students, and researchers.' Ernst Fehr, University of Zurich'The rapid growth of applications to policy is surely the most important development in behavioural economics in recent years. This volume reports some of these advances, but it also includes a welcome discussion of the moral underpinnings of behavioural interventions in policy.' Daniel Kahneman, Princeton University, and Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2002'This volume eloquently reveals the extraordinary power of behavioral economics as a tool for predicting and influencing human behavior, and simultaneously raises profound questions about the ethical foundations of the brave new world of paternalistic policies that is rapidly emerging.' David Laibson, Harvard University'The idea of using behavioral economics to design public policy has captured the popular imagination. This book provides scientific meat behind this idea. It brings together a wonderful collection of thoughtful scholarly articles by some of the biggest names in the area.'

Book SynopsisHow Humans Learn to Think Mathematically describes the development of mathematical thinking from the young child to the sophisticated adult. Professor David Tall reveals the reasons why mathematical concepts that make sense in one context may become problematic in another. For example, a child's experience of whole number arithmetic successively affects subsequent understanding of fractions, negative numbers, algebra, and the introduction of definitions and proof. Tall's explanations for these developments are accessible to a general audience while encouraging specialists to relate their areas of expertise to the full range of mathematical thinking. The book offers a comprehensive framework for understanding mathematical growth, from practical beginnings through theoretical developments, to the continuing evolution of mathematical thinking at the highest level.Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisSince the early nineteenth century, mesmerists, mediums and psychics have exhibited extraordinary phenomena. These have been demonstrated, reported and disputed by every modern generation. We continue to wonder why people believe in such things, while others wonder why they are dismissed so easily. Extraordinary Beliefs takes a historical approach to an ongoing psychological problem: why do people believe in extraordinary phenomena? It considers the phenomena that have been associated with mesmerism, spiritualism, psychical research and parapsychology. By drawing upon conjuring theory, frame analysis and discourse analysis, it examines how such phenomena have been made convincing in demonstration and report, and then disputed endlessly. It argues that we cannot understand extraordinary beliefs unless we properly consider the events in which people believe, and what people believe about them. And it shows how, in constructing and maintaining particular beliefs about particular phenomenaTrade Review'Outstanding clarity, penetrating argument and a series of fascinating examples make this an accessible and profoundly insightful read, whether for academics and their students or the legendary general reader. As well as its obvious relevance to historians and psychologists, it has much to offer to social scientists.' Barry Barnes, University of Exeter'Lamont offers a thought-provoking and sophisticated examination of the way that debates about claims to paranormal abilities rely on their historical context as much as scientific evidence. He makes a compelling case for the value of historical scholarship in psychological research, and raises important questions about the status of psychology as a science.' Robin Wooffitt, University of York'A must for anyone interested in psychology, the history of spiritualism and the mediumship in performances - fascinating and brilliantly researched.' Kindred Spirit'A balanced, systematic framework for understanding why some people have believed in unusual things and others have not … a challenging and thought-provoking read.' Magic Magazine'Lamont has enriched our knowledge of both our history and our processes of belief formation. This is a very important contribution to the field that has the additional advantage of being a delight to read.' Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences'The book will interest historians of marginal science, who will benefit from Lamont's deep knowledge of the arts of misdirection and precision around method. It will also appeal to those scholars concerned with the reflexive nature of the human sciences who want to push the history of psychology toward a historical psychology of ourselves.' Isis'The attention to historical research in the book is noteworthy, and the writing, especially when discussing historical cases, is engaging … What [Lamont] has accomplished is as good as any conjuring stage performance. Mixing solid historical analysis with the psychology of belief, he has produced an effect both engaging and informative.' Fides et HistoriaTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Book SynopsisThere are countless books on sex and an endless fascination with the subject. Varieties and vagaries of sexual desire have long been documented, but there has been little engagement with cutting-edge scientific research to uncover the biological and psychological bases of sexual desire. Here, Frederick Toates uses the insights of modern science to show how a wide range of desire-related phenomena - fantasy, novelty-seeking, sexual addiction, sex-drug interactions, fetishes, voyeurism, and sexual violence and killing - start to make sense. For example, the role of the brain's neurochemical dopamine can now be much better understood in terms of wanting, and a distinction between wanting and liking has been established. Also, an understanding of the layered organization of the brain, sometimes described as hierarchical, can be used to explain temptation and conflict. This is a fascinating book with great social relevance to society and its problems with sexuality.Trade Review'In this fine book Toates gives a lively tour of the psychology behind 'how sexual desire works'. As a pioneer in motivation theory himself, Toates is an ideal guide into how incentive motivation processes work to produce sexual desires. Beyond psychology, he leads the reader on forays into neuroscience, and includes many excellent quotations as case samples, all to help put the psychology of human sexual desire into better perspective. This is a highly readable and illuminating book.' Kent Berridge, University of Michigan'A balanced and highly accessible book on the enigma of sexual desire, highlighting the vast range of different sexual desires and the many unanswered questions in this area of research. Borrowing from fictional depictions of desire, as well as a wealth of scientific data, this book will appeal to academics and clinicians across a variety of disciplines as well as the general public.' Cynthia A. Graham, University of Southampton, and Research Fellow, The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction'In this eminently readable and enticing book, Fred Toates weaves a golden thread through the disarming topic of sexual desire, linking its many faces - literary, clinical and scientific - together. The implications of his analysis to our understanding of sexual problems and disorders are immense and will likely help create important paradigms for their study. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in motivation and sex, and how we are able to get what we want and like, despite living in a world full of imposed sexual values and inhibitions. A real tour de force!' Jim Pfaus, Concordia University, Montréal'Bringing together all of the latest scientific research on the topic of sexual desire, Frederick Toates somehow manages to combine a scientific tone with an uncanny ability to engage the reader. An illuminating and beautifully written text by one of the world's leading writers on biological psychology today.' Lance Workman, University of South Wales, and co-author of Evolutionary Psychology'Toates' book makes an important contribution to a debate that society can't afford to ignore as we struggle to balance individual rights with protecting the vulnerable.' Fortean Times'This sounds like a useful self-help manual but is actually an all-round examination of the core aspect of human experience from one of psychology's leading experts in motivation. Theory and data are entertainingly balanced by examples from life and the arts, so that it works as a textbook or as an example of popular science that is especially well evidenced.' Times Higher Education'The book is worth it for its bibliography alone.' New Scientist'This book offers a broad and thorough view, including the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, as to the how and why of sexual desire and urges. It also offers suggestions for how to help people with problems in this area and should be seen as a valuable contribution to an improved attitude that will lead to a healthier and safer society.' Breathwork Science (breathwork-science.com)'I came away from this book enriched by being exposed to Toates' insights regarding basic aspects of our human sexual experience. Issues surrounding sexual desire are commonplace among many of the clients who seek out sex therapy and understanding the causes of sexual desire is the first step to being able to help them. Wonderfully researched, with many insightful explanations, this book is an important contribution to the field of sex research with many practical ramifications for the sex therapist.' Sexual and Relationship Therapy'This book offers a broad and thorough view, including the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, as to the how and why of sexual desire and urges. It also offers suggestions for how to help people with problems in this area and should be seen as a valuable contribution to an improved attitude that will lead to a healthier and safer society.'

Book Synopsis'Metonymy' is a form of shorthand that allows us to use our shared knowledge to communicate with fewer words than we would otherwise need. This book explores metonymy in language, gesture, sign language, art, music, film and advertising, and discusses the challenges that it presents in cross-cultural communication.Trade Review'Jeannette Littlemore's book exposes the role of metonymy in all fields of life, from everyday language to the arts. A comprehensive, insightful, and engaging treatment of a fundamental cognitive mechanism.' Frank Boers, Victoria University of Wellington'From a cognitive-linguistic perspective, this book explores multiple theoretical and applied aspects of metonymy. With a clear and lucid style, Littlemore offers her readers a firmly integrated landscape that masterfully balances breadth of scope and analytical detail.' Francisco Ruiz de Mendoza, University of La Rioja'For a long time metonymy has remained the neglected sibling of metaphor, but Jeannette Littlemore now elegantly shows what we have missed. This book offers an encompassing and lucid overview of what contemporary researchers need to take into account when they address metonymy as an essential tool in language, thought, and communication. It strikes a dearly needed balance between theory, data, and relations to metonymy use in the real world and it may justly act as a programmatic frame for future research.' Gerard Steen, VU University Amsterdam'Jeannette Littlemore's monograph shows conclusively that metonymy is a cognitively grounded phenomenon that is as pervasive, and probably even more fundamental, than conceptual metaphor in shaping language structure and use. The author provides an impressive state-of-the-art overview of current research, unsurpassed in its breadth and analytic depth … A most welcome feature of the book is that the author demonstrates the significance and the workings of metonymy in sign language, literature, the arts, film, music, advertising, intercultural communication, and language learning. Moving beyond a purely conceptual analysis, Littlemore also critically assesses the pragmatic and socio-cognitive effects of metonymy, demonstrating its sometimes dehumanizing effects. For years to come, this engagingly written and reader-friendly book will be a source of reference and inspiration for students and scholars alike and will boost innovative research on figurative language and thought.' Klaus-Uwe Panther, Nanjing Normal University and University of Hamburg'Jeannette Littlemore's new book beautifully explains the complex workings of metonymy, how it differs from, yet interacts with, metaphor, how people acquire the facility to use metonymy, understand it, and employ it in diverse social and cultural situations. No single volume has ever provided this amazing breadth of material on metonymy, which is why this book will be an instant classic within figurative language scholarship.' Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr, University of California, Santa Cruz'Until recently, metonymy studies had to be content with playing second fiddle to metaphor analysis, both in terms of theoretical status and methodological applications. Littlemore's brilliant book puts paid to this tradition by giving a succinct overview over the advances in cognitive modelling of metonymy production, identification, comprehension and usage, as well providing fascinating insights into the interplay of metaphor and metonymy in real-world contexts, including political, therapeutic, pedagogic and intercultural communication.'

It also addresses genetic and environmental influences, extremes of intelligence, group differences, lifespan development, the relationship of intelligence and other psychological attributes, and educational interventions. Specific pedagogical features make the text ideal for teaching. Introductions briefly preview what is to come in each chapter. Key terms and concepts are bolded and defined in the text as they are introduced and also found in a glossary at the end of the book. Chapter summaries highlight major points of each chapter, and comprehension and reflection questions help students check their understanding of the material they have just read. Each chapter also includes a ''Focus on Contemporary Research'' box that describes in vivid detail the chTrade Review'This is a nicely balanced and honest textbook on the complex notion of intelligence. It has breadth, depth, and volume. It covers all important questions and possible answers, certainties and uncertainties, speculations as well as empirical findings. It is written with love for the topic, with inspiration, ambition, and wisdom.' Paul De Boeck, Ohio State University'Human intelligence is a rapidly changing discipline, and an updated introductory textbook has been needed for some time. This textbook offers a nice balance of perspectives, and is a real treasure trove for anyone interested in diving deep into the latest research and controversies surrounding the scientific investigation of human intelligence.' Scott Barry Kaufman, Columbia University'Nobody knows more about human intelligence than Robert J. Sternberg. From mental age and IQ through social and emotional intelligence to practical intelligence and creativity, he and his contributors have assembled all this knowledge in this great textbook, suitable for use in upper-division courses in cognitive and educational psychology.' John F. Kihlstrom, University of California, Berkeley'This volume contains a delightful balance between classic thinking about intelligence, its measurement, meaning, and correlates, and current thinking about these same issues. Although this is an edited volume, it reads like an authored text because every author did a good job of writing clearly and providing lots of examples for readers outside the area, and the editor inserted transitional text to link each chapter to others. Each chapter concludes with questions for readers that promote thoughtful contemplation. I highly recommend this volume. It would be excellent for courses on intelligence and, because of the clarity of each chapter, it does not presuppose a background in the topic.' Stephen J. Ceci, Cornell University, New York'Examining the vast research and commentary about intelligence, arguably the most queried concept in both psychology and education, has become more manageable with the publication of Sternberg's book on Human Intelligence: An Introduction. Renowned scholars have examined this complex concept from multiple perspectives; and readers will benefit from this marvelous synthesis of the voluminous literature on the topic.' Joseph S. Renzulli, University of Connecticut'It is often observed that human intelligence is among the most important and meaningful psychological constructs science has ever identified. Every day, we judge other people on the basis of their intelligence, and in the grand scheme humanity succeeds on the basis of its intelligence. Every person, undergraduates included, should become intelligent about intelligence. If you are thinking about teaching a course in human intelligence and wonder what text might be appropriate, or just want to bone up yourself on what intelligence is all about, Robert J. Sternberg has generously provided you with all that you need. This new text successfully covers a wide variety of topics and touches all the teaching bases, providing students with a host of learning aids that will successfully pave their way to a broad understanding of intelligence, its nature and functions, its biological-to-cultural origins and variations, and its theoretical and practical implications.'

Book SynopsisUsing video recordings of interaction of children at play, of archaeologists in the field, and in the home of a man with severe aphasia, this book reveals how language, embodiment, objects, and settings within historically shaped communities combine to form human action, sociality, skill, and knowledge.Trade Review'With Co-Operative Action, Charles Goodwin has cemented his legacy as one of the most creative, insightful, and unfettered scholars of human social action in interaction. The effects of his research over four decades are felt in fields from linguistic anthropology to cognitive science to microsociology to digital ethnography to communications. He leaves us with the tools to see how that vision - and, in particular, its core concept, culture - can be causally grounded in the temporally framed experience of co-operative, copresent life.' N. J. Enfield, American Anthropologist'In his new book, Co-Operative Action, Goodwin synthesizes a large portion of work over his career, making a broader argument that is only possible through the breadth of instances and depth of analyses presented.' Danielle Teodora Keifert and Ananda Maria Marin, Cognition & Instruction (www.cognitionandinstruction.com)'This is a substantial and impressive text … Through Co-Operative Action Goodwin has left us an integrated vision of human capacities, and indeed of what it is to be human, and to my mind this impressive book helps realize that vision as an example of collaborative co-operative action in its own right. This book is more than just a tour de force, therefore, it is something to be taken up and put to work for new ends.' K. Neil Jenkings, Symbolic Interaction'The book provides a wealth of insights into the particulars of what it means to be a human being in a world of others. It leaves the reader with a new understanding of the pervasive and specific nature of human cooperation and co-action, and it provides detailed insights into the diversity of semiotic resources available to us in interaction.'

Book SynopsisThis volume traces the life journeys of a cohort of influential and transformative women in psychology, now in or nearing retirement, who have changed the discipline and the broader world of academia in significant ways. The 26 reflective essays record how these scholars thrived in an academic landscape that was often, at best, unwelcoming, and, at worst, hostile, toward them. They explicitly and implicitly acknowledge that their paths were inextricably linked with the evolution of women''s roles in society; they highlight and celebrate their achievements as much as they acknowledge and recognize the obstacles, barriers, and hurdles they overcame. They tell their stories with candor and humor, resulting in a compilation of inspiring essays. The end result of these individual narratives is a volume that provides a unique resource for current and future academics to help them navigate through the crossroads, curves, and challenges of their own careers in academia.Trade Review'This book is an extraordinary window into the lives of 26 remarkable women in psychology. Their personal stories are captivating, serving as a testament to the shared roles of determination and serendipity in shaping their lives.

Book SynopsisIn this enthralling work of popular science, respected Harvard psychiatrist Jordan Smoller addresses one of humankind’s most enduring and perplexing questions: What does it mean to be “normal?” In The Other Side of Normal, Smoller explores the biological component of normalcy, revealing the hidden side of our everyday behaviors—why we love what we love and fear what we fear. Other bestselling works of neurobiology and the mind have focused on mental illness and abnormal behaviors—like the Oliver Sacks classic, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat—but The Other Side of Normal is an eye-opening, thought-provoking, utterly fascinating and totally accessible exploration of the universals of human experience. It will change forever our understanding of who we are and what makes us that way.

Book Synopsis A sensational, eye-opening account of Emma Jung’s complex marriage to Carl Gustav Jung and the hitherto unknown role she played in the early years of the psychoanalytic movement.Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences at the University of Zurich. But the strict rules of proper Swiss society at the beginning of the twentieth century dictated that a woman of Emma’s stature—one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland—travel to Paris to finish her education, to prepare for marriage to a suitable man. Engaged to the son of one of her father’s wealthy business colleagues, Emma’s conventional and predictable life was upended when she met Carl Jung. The son of a penniless pastor working as an assistant physician in an insane asylum, Jung dazzled Emma with his intelligence, confidence, and good looks. More important, he offered her freedom from the confines of a traditional haute-bourgeois life. But Emma di

Book SynopsisTrade Review“[A] comprehensive survey of the state of knowledge concerning PTSD. . . . Jain carefully lays out what can be said with confidence about [PTSD]…and what is more speculative, all with an eye to potential cures. . . . Given epidemic anxiety and stress disorders, this is a timely book that will greatly interest those who suffer from [PTSD] as well as family members and medical practitioners.” — Kirkus Reviews “This instructive resource can be recommended not only for those who have personal experiences with PTSD and trauma, but for anyone interested in learning more about the disorder and how it affects society.” — Publishers Weekly “Jain asserts that the importance of accessible treatment and early intervention for PTSD cannot be overstated, while also emphasizing the genuine healing value of empathy and simply listening.” — Booklist An atlas of the elusive yet very common condition of PTSD, The Unspeakable Mind makes for an engrossing read in which Jain serves as our trusted guide, deconstructing the entity known as PTSD symptom by symptom. She deftly weaves riveting depictions of patient encounters with her rich and informed observations to reveal how PTSD goes far beyond issues of mind and brain—it is interwoven into our physical well-being, quality of life, and exerts an insidious influence over our culture and society. Dr Jain’s beautiful prose illuminates this widely misunderstood condition and makes for fascinating reading. It is a must for anyone who has a survived trauma, their loved ones and the healthcare professionals who care for them. — Irvin Yalom, M.D., Emeritus professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University and bestselling author of When Nietzsche Wept “Shaili Jain has written a wonderfully creative mixture of handbook on trauma, research report, personal memoir, and cultural commentary. The result is a thoroughly engaging book about the hardest parts of life presented gently, beautifully, insightfully, and with wisdom.” — Edward Hallowell, M.D., co-author of the New York Times bestseller Driven to Distraction “In The Unspeakable Mind, noted psychiatrist and scholar Shaili Jain, presents an absorbing and comprehensive account of one of the scourges of our modern age. Anyone suffering from PTSD - or their loved ones - should read this book to learn, understand, and heal.” — Sandeep Jauhar, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of Heart: A History “Shaili Jain’s The Unspeakable Mind is a riveting conversation about trauma and PTSD. It is a very personal narrative built around Dr. Jain’s clinical experiences as well as the story of her family’s trauma during the partition of India in 1947. She has skillfully embedded a comprehensive review of the relevant science and practice in the field that will thoroughly captivate and enlighten readers.” — Matthew J. Friedman MD, PhD, Senior Advisor (and Former Executive Director), National Center for PTSD & Professor and Vice-Chair for Research, Department of Psychiatry, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth “Highly recommended for a wide variety of readers, but especially to those who may have undergone trauma or the family members with whom they share their lives. . . . Told in a compassionate and humanistic manner that makes the pain of this condition come alive for the reader.” — New York Journal of Books

Book SynopsisBlack women are beautiful, intelligent and capable —but mostly they embrace strong. Esteemed clinical psychologist, Dr. Inger Burnett-Zeigler, praises the strength of women, while exploring how trauma and adversity have led to deep emotional pain and shaped how they walk through the world. Black women’s strength is intimately tied to their unacknowledged suffering. An estimated eight in ten have endured some form of trauma—sexual abuse, domestic abuse, poverty, childhood abandonment, victim/witness to violence, and regular confrontation with racism and sexism. Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen shows that trauma often impacts mental and physical well-being. It can contribute to stress, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. Unaddressed it can lead to hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, overeating, and alcohol and drug abuse, and other chronic health issues.Dr. Burnett-Zeigler explains that the strong Black woman image does not take into account the urgency of Black women’s needs, which must be identified in order to lead abundant lives. It interferes with her relationships and ability to function day to day. Through mindfulness and compassionate self-care, the psychologist offers methods for establishing authentic strength from the inside out. This informative guide to healing, is life-changing, showing Black women how to prioritize the self and find everyday joys in self-worth, as well as discover the fullness and beauty within both her strength and vulnerability. Trade Review“Black women give and give and give to the point of emotional exhaustion. Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen let’s us know how to break this unhealthy cycle by learning self-forgiveness, which through God’s help, leads to self-love and the power to say, ‘No, I come first in my life.” — Mary J. Blige "Through a blend of irrefutable scientific data and deeply moving personal narratives, Inger Burnett-Zeigler’s Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen takes an unflinching look at the sources of Black women’s pain and explodes the myth that our strength comes without sacrifice. This book invites us to be our whole, authentic selves—capable, yes, but also vulnerable and deserving of love and care. Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen is an offering, an affirmation, a balm, and a roadmap to transformation and real healing—A gift to Black women everywhere." — Natalie Baszile, author of Queen Sugar and We Are Each Other's Harvest: Celebrating African American Farmers, Land & Legacy “Patience, courage, and perseverance are required in taking good care of yourself. You are worthy. You are important. Your song is part of a great symphony! Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen will help you find your instrument and melody.” — Jenifer Lewis, author of The Mother of Black Hollywood “In this excellent debut, clinical psychologist Burnett-Zeigler provides a road map to help Black women find “a healthy balance between strength and vulnerability.” She begins by articulating the connections between systemic racism and sexism, generational and childhood trauma, and the prevalence of negative individual physical and mental health outcomes for Black women. Blending personal anecdotes, case studies, and questions for reflection, Burnett-Zeigler helps readers identify if they are acting “from a space of trauma”—such as by using common coping mechanisms like embracing a facade of “being strong—and to envision proactive choices instead. In the book’s second half, she addresses obstacles Black women face in accessing and making the most of mental health treatment—such as lack of coverage and skepticism toward practices—and provides tips for dealing with both. Ultimately, Burnett-Zeigler demonstrates how the idea of the “strong Black woman” can be both helpful and harmful, and lays out ways for readers to eliminate “what no longer serves” them. This thorough analysis effectively pulls back the curtain on the emotional and health barriers Black women face to suggest practical strategies for change.” — Publishers Weekly “'Listen to Black women' and 'Black Girl Magic' are common phrases these days. Inger Burnett-Zeigler reveals what is unsaid about the Strong Black Woman — she needs to tend to her own individual health. This book is affirming and full of lessons.” — Natalie Y. Moore, author of "The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation"

Book SynopsisA psychologist confronts our pervasive misunderstanding of anxiety and presents a powerful new framework for reimagining and reclaiming the confounding emotion as the advantage it evolved to be.We taught people that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease?prevent it, avoid it, and stamp it out at all costs. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books, and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay. A third of us will struggle with anxiety disorders in our lifetime and rates in children and adults continue to skyrocket.That?s because the anxiety-as-disease story is false?and it?s harming us.In this radical reinterpretation, Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary argues that anxiety is an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers.Although it?s related to stress and fear, it?s uniquely valuable?allowing us to imagine the uncertain future and compelling us to make that future better. That?s why anxiety is inextricably linked to hope.By distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, including her own, combining it with real-world stories and personal narrative, Dennis-Tiwary shows how we can acknowledge the discomfort of anxiety and see it as a tool, rather than something to be feared and reviled. Detailing the terrible cost of our misunderstanding of anxiety, while celebrating the lives of people who harness it to their advantage, she argues that we can?and must?learn to be anxious in the right way.Future Tenseblazes the way for a paradigm shift in how we relate to and understand anxiety in our day-to-day lives?a fresh set of beliefs and insights that allow us to explore and leverage even very distressing anxiety rather than to be overwhelmed by it. Through this new prism of thinking, even anxiety disorders can be alleviated. Achieving a new mindset willnotfix anxiety itself?because the emotion of anxiety is not broken; the way we cope with it is. By challenging our long-held assumptions about anxiety, this book provides a concrete framework for how to reclaim it for what it has always been?a gift rather than a curse, and a source of inner strength, joy, and ingenuity.
