"I'm too fat." "I MUST be successful." "I'm scared." "It's because
when I was a kid..." "Daddy is never home." We all have frameworks
we've built for ourselves throughout life. Ways of being. Of
believing. Glasses through which we see life. Whether positive or
negative, they shape our whole being and affect our daily lives.
From being unsatisfied at home or in a relationship, to impressions
left with us from childhood, we constantly live out of lives
through these lenses we create in our mind. In Mindshift, Drs.
Marty Lerman and Samuel Kupper seek to take the reader on an
experiential journey to show how simple changes in perception, a
reworking of the way we see through our own lenses, can create
drastic positive change. Read about how one woman conquered cancer,
how a veteran came home and now lives without the lasting effects
of war, how kids no longer suffer from ADHD, and more. If these
people can create these kinds of changes in their lives with just a
simple shift of the mind, imagine what you could do. Your mind is
powerful. Harness it. Shift.
In this, his third novel, Dr. Milton endeavors to make the titles
possessed by all women Maiden, Mother, Crone discernible. His story
concerns a triad of tensile lives, a trinity of goddesses dipped
from the same hot, whorled gene pool but forged by distinctly
different environments. The result is a cautionary tale replete
with psychological, sociological and mystical insights related to
child abuse, cancer and clairvoyance.
The 'Maiden' precocious and obviously neglected provides the
storyteller's voice. Thwarted in her attempts to gain care and
affection, her abuse is reported with momentous consequences.
When Llyn the 'Mother' is told by two different Oncology experts
"We have nothing more to offer," she retreats to a childhood
belief: High, Mountains are mystical, magical and healing.
In the background a fanatical 'Crone' cruelly and sadistically
cajoles from an unassailable position.
On the journey to the summit of the highest mountain in North
America Alaska's mighty Mt Denali extraordinary triumphs, dreadful
disasters and intense meditations on mortality are revealed.
Throughout the story, explanations are disclosed, which ache with a
wisdom that can only be understood by those who have "been there"
and earned the right.
Dr. Robert Milton is a graduate of the University of Southern
California's Clinical Psychology program. He has authored six books
including three novels available on Amazon.com
While his world travels and interests reveal a kaleidoscope of
themes, his curiosity recently led him to neuro-science and
religion, particularly mysticism, which is touched upon in this
novel and his recent non-fiction book Your FLEXXIBLE Brain
published last year. Currently he lives in Southern California with
his dog, an Ozzy Shepherd, named Mr. Dugan. He can be contacted at

Filipino Americans are projected to become the largest Asian
American population by 2010. As the second largest immigrant group
in the country, there are approximately 3 million documented and
undocumented Filipino Americans in the US. Filipino Americans are
unique in many ways. They are descendants of the Philippines, a
country that was colonized by Spain for over three centuries and by
the US for almost 50 years. They are the only ethnic group that has
been categorized as Asian American, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and
even as their own separate ethnicity. Because of diverse
phenotypes, they are often perceived as being Asian, Latino,
multiracial, and others. And contrary to the Model Minority Myth,
Filipino Americans have experienced several health, psychological,
and educational disparities, including lower college graduation
rates and higher levels of cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
obesity, teen pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, depression, and
suicide. Despite these disparaging statistics, Filipino Americans
have made significant contributions to the US, ever since their
first arrivals in October 1587- from their involvement in the
United Farmworkers Movement to their roles in hip-hop culture and
their presence in medicine, education, and the arts. However,
Filipino Americans have also been referred to as the "Forgotten
Asian Americans" because of their invisibility in mainstream media,
academia, and politics. Filipino American Psychology: A Collection
of Personal Narratives offers an intimate look at the lives of
Filipino Americans through stories involving ethnic identity,
colonial mentality, cultural conflicts, and experiences with
gender, sexual orientation, and multiraciality. Writers
courageously address how they cope with mental health issues-
including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and suicide.
Theories and concepts from the book's predecessor, Filipino
American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical
Practice can be applied through the voices of a diverse collection
of Filipino Americans.

This insightful and moving book looks at how people of various ages
view the process of aging and the social and emotional perspectives
it evokes. Will You Still Need Me?: Feeling Wanted, Loved, and
Meaningful as We Age is a touching and incisive book organized
around interviews with individuals of various ages who have
responded to questions about aging. The interviewees offer their
unguarded thoughts about aging with a significant other-or alone.
They reveal their self perceptions, their feelings about the
future, their self-image as it relates to aging, and their
expectations and impressions of aging itself. They also share their
concerns that with aging comes not only possible loneliness, but
also meaninglessness and even uselessness. Psychotherapist Angela
Browne-Miller weaves the findings into a philosophical,
research-based overview of cross-generational concerns and feelings
about aging. Her book opens a window into the hearts and minds of
our parents, our peers, and our children as they look at the aging
process and at how individuals, society, and families treat aging.
Through the sensitive, up-close-and-personal, bird's-eye view of
the people interviewed for this book, aging unfolds into a deeply
moving experience, one we all share. Includes some 50 interview
reports describing people's views regarding the aging they see
around them and their own aging processes Presents a group of
sensitive illustrations and photographs by the author
This book is not just a book; it's a bible for all those who
want to overcome their challenges and become winners. This book
will work as a guide and as a compass for those who are striving
hard to find answers for the questions like, What is their future?
Why are they born? What are they supposed to do?
This is also useful for people who doubt themselves and often
ask, Will they ever be successful? How long will it take to become
successful? Why are certain people rich and many are poor? Why are
many people suffering?
You must treat this book like a mirror. It will help you realize
what you are capable of doing.

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease, robbing its victims of so
much of themselves before the end. For caregivers facing this
disease, a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can sound like the
ultimate tragedy, the disease that will rob us of our loved one by
inches. It doesn't have to be. While Alzheimer's and related
dementias are serious and not easily understood diseases, a new
guide can help families negotiate the difficult scientific,
emotional, and practical issues of dealing with the disease. In a
moving and easy to read format, Dr. Steinberg has laid out a true
caregiver's guide to dealing with Alzheimer's disease, from the
first signs to the final stages. Incorporating science, real-life
case studies from his practice and from his extensive experience as
a nationally recognized seminar speaker, as well as from his
personal journey coping with his mother's illness, Dr. Steinberg
leads the reader through a learning and healing process. In a
candid and personal sharing of his experience, Dr. Steinberg helps
the reader clearly understand what to expect, when to ask for help,
how to cope with the changes and the inevitable pressures within
the family, and how to continue to love as a loved one's disease
threatens family stability and well-being. With his profound
knowledge of the disease, its treatment and manifestations, and his
great love and tenderness as the son of an Alzheimer's patient, Dr.
Steinberg has created a truly memorable work.
