Screams in the night being pursued by the abuser, are the daily horrors of this child, whose world is filled with insecurities, suicidal tendencies, and is unable to function in the daily world. Parental disbelief has weakened her trust in others.

The mere hint of moonlight shone through the windows and I could see the look in his eyes, a look of lust and hate all at once. It was a look I was too young to understand then, but it was not one of fatherly love and admiration. As I looked into his eyes, a daughter's pleas went unheeded. This man was no longer my father.

A guide to freeing ourselves from the inappropriate and crippling behaviors that sabotage our success.

Most of us long to be a little calmer: too many of our days are lost to agitation and worry, stress and discord. Yet we know that we are at our best when we can manage not to panic and take challenges in our stride. Fortunately, a calm state of mind is not a divine gift. Even those of us starting from a more agitated position can systematically understand and lay claim to it. Too many books on this subject simply explain what it would be like to be calm. This is a workbook that takes us through the practical steps required to actually become calm. It is filled with exercises and prompts that deliver the self-understanding and self-compassion on which true serenity depends. Furthermore, the book invites us to build calming routines into our daily lives so that what we learn can stick with us and change us for the long term. Based on years of The School of Life's work in the area of anxiety and calm, this is a landmark workbook guaranteed to bring about the calmer state of mind we long for and deserve.

"In the early autumn of 2002 my lovely wife, Jean, was diagnosed with a melanoma of the sinus, a very lethal form of cancer. This is a story of how we tackled this disaster through our Christian faith and preserved our sanity during a traumatic two-year journey."

The book was primarily written to fulfil a promise that Peter made to Jean to tell the Christian side of her story to her family whom she loved so much, in the hope that they too would embrace the Christian faith and be reunited with her in heaven. Besides suffering, Peter also tackles the controversial debate of why Christ is the only true path to the Father, as well as describing the context of the spiritual battle within which we conduct our daily existence. Christianity is presented as a relationship rather than a religion.

Peter also shares some very practical advice on how to cope with a terminally ill loved one within the shortcomings of current medical science and in a materialistic, fast-paced city like Johannesburg.

One might think working as a physician would lead to disrespect for the human body. After all, most of the bodies we see are broken or malfunctioning in some way. In my case, however, the opposite is true. My practice as a pain specialist (particularly chronic pain) has drawn me into areas beyond the usual options for medical treatment. In the process, that has led to a fascination with the human brain and its myriad properties. I think it's safe to say that most of us take our brains for granted. If we think about them at all, it's in terms of comparative mental accomplishment (in our prime of life) or dysfunction (beyond our prime). Rarely do we stand in awe of all that this eight-pound organ does for us. With this book, I'm hoping to do my part to change that. The focus is on the brain's relationship with pain, but discussing that opens a door to broader considerations. Meanwhile, the potential readership is literally universal -- all of us have brains, and almost all of us (except for those with a rare condition described in the book) have felt pain. What most of us may not realize is that research into the causes of pain began thousands of years ago. The ancient Egyptians pondered the question, and Greek philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, and Galen made it an important part of their overall philosophies. Hippocrates was laying the foundation for modern brain and pain study as early as the late fifth century and other scientific icons, such as Rene Descartes and Charles Sherrington, built on what he had discovered and postulated. By the 20th century, some new revelation about pain and its possible treatment was being reported in the scientific journals nearly every month. That has only accelerated over the past few years, which makes the study of the brain and pain one of the livelier medical specialties. Meanwhile, there has been a significant change in the attitude toward pain by 20th century physicians, researchers and hospital personnel. Previously, pain was simply linked to whatever condition might be afflicting a patient, leading to the belief that when that condition was cured or managed, the pain would automatically disappear. Now, though, it has become apparent that pain might be more than just a symptom. In some cases, it becomes a condition all to itself. Since pain is literally a product of the brain, which announces it after being warned by a small army of nocioceptors stationed throughout the body, it is also open to glitches in that process. Chronic pain often occurs when the brain "remembers" pain, even though the condition that caused it may have been dealt with. This book has a clinical core, but I have broadened the scope to include not only research history but touch on several peripheral issuers involving pain. That includes a chapter on masochism and congenital insensitivity to pain, another on the opioid epidemic.

Stop worrying about your health and enjoy life. Many of us have a tendency to worry unnecessarily about our health. This can be worse in a time of global panic about pandemics. For some, the anxiety becomes chronic, and they may spend many hours checking for symptoms, seeking reassurance from others, surfing the internet for information about different diseases, or repeatedly visiting the doctor. It is distressing for them and for everyone around them. In fact, health anxiety can be very successfully treated with cognitive behavioural therapy - the approach taken in this self-help guide. Using a structured, step-by-step approach, the authors explain how the problem develops, how to recognise what feeds it and how to develop effective methods of dealing with it. - Includes questionnaires, case studies and exercises - Based on proven CBT techniques - Includes a chapter on fear of death and fear of vomiting

Lethargic inactivity can be debilitating and depressing; but for those living in the modern world, the pendulum has swung far in the other direction. We live in a hectic, hyperactive, over-stimulated age. Excessive busyness and overfilled schedules are the norm, as are their effects on our mental and emotional lives. How might we address and counter such problems, for the sake of experiencing our lives more fully? In How to Be Bored, Eva Hoffman explores the importance we place on success, high level function, effectiveness and alertness in today's competitive society. In a world where it is almost impossible to be idle, she draws upon lessons from history, literature and psychotherapy to help us embrace boredom and find meaning in doing nothing - to appreciate real reflection and enjoy the richness of our inner and external lives.
