Judgment, Decision-Making, and Embodied Choices introduces a new
concept of embodied choices which take sensorimotor experiences
into account when limited time and resources forces a person to
make a quick decision. This book combines areas of cognitive
psychology and movement science, presenting an integrative approach
to understanding human functioning in everyday scenarios. This is
the first book focusing on the role of the gut as a second brain,
introducing the link to risky behavior. The book's author engages
readers by providing real-life experiences and scenarios connecting
theory to practice.

Navigating Life Transitions for Meaning explores the central human
motivation of meaning making, and its counterpart, meaning
disruption. The book describes different types of specific
transitions, details how specific transitions affect an individual
differently, and provides appropriate clinical approaches. The book
examines the effects of life transitions on the component parts of
meaning in life, including making sense (coherence), driving life
goals (purpose), significance (mattering), and continuity. The book
covers a range of transitions, including developmental (e.g.,
adolescence to adulthood), personal (e.g., illness onset, becoming
a parent, and bereavement), and career (e.g., military deployment,
downshifting, and retiring). Life transitions are experienced by
all persons, and the influence of those transitions are tremendous.
It is essential for clinicians to understand how transitions can
disrupt life and how to help clients successfully navigate these
changes.
