The moonlight sliced into the alleyway as twenty-one-year-old
Kirk Miller opened his eyes and stared at the night sky. His head
throbbed as the world spun gently. The cold, hard cement felt oddly
soothing, but even with all the alcohol and drugs flowing through
his veins, Kirk's mind was still racing. It would be a year until
he was told that those feelings were related to what professionals
called a manic episode. Welcome to the world of bipolar
disorder.
It is no secret that bipolar disorder is one of the most
misunderstood and devastating mental disorders for the diagnosed
and those who care for them. But what if there were a cure? In his
compelling memoir, Miller details how he was diagnosed with the
most severe form of bipolar disorder, was told he would never lead
a normal life, and eventually refused to accept his fate. As he
began a determined search for answers through research, educated
guesses, and risks that nearly cost him his life, Miller shares how
he stumbled onto a new method of treating his disorder that,
remarkably, helped him achieve a full recovery.
"Chaos to Cured" shares the true story of one man's courageous
journey to finding a cure for bipolar disorder with the hope that
everyone will one day have a second chance in life.

A fresh, modern take on a classic tarot deck, Modern Manga Tarot
combines two hugely popular trends in a beautifully illustrated and
informative deck. With text by Hera David, author of numerous books
on oracles, astrology and fortune-telling, and illustrations by
Patrick Miller, illustrator of several books, this pack is a great
introduction to tarot and an essential addition to any established
collection. The accompanying booklet explains the background of
tarot and how to manifest and provides detailed explanations of
each card, alongside information on how to clean and energise the
card and suggested spreads.
Plunged into the experience of an analytic session, analysand and
analyst can come closer to what Freud terms the "primary
processes". A clear-cut distinction between body and mind tends to
become blurred while the bodily-egos of both protagonists are more
effectively present to each other. How deeply can they affect each
other, and can the transformational working through of the drives
give access to potential transformations not only within the
dimension of the erogeneous body but also of the soma? This book
explores these complex issues from a number of different
perspectives: the clinical approach of patients with somatic
diseases; the metapsychology of the analyst at work, including
different aspects and functions of formal regression; the function
of figurability of certain bodily enactments; the specific use the
analyst can make of his own subjectivity (relationship between
subjectivity and neutrality) and how this leads to a specific way
of thinking about intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis; and the way
in which some works of art can enrich how we confront the
body-mind-soma issue in our analytic experiences with our patients.
Forgiveness is the science of the heart; a discipline of discovering all the ways of being that will extend your love to the world and discarding all the ways that will not. This is a book about growing up, becoming whole, connecting to others, and becoming comfortable in one's own skin. It is inspirational, healing, and programmatic.
Miller explores the facts of forgiveness, including forgiving others, forgiving oneself, and the results of following the path of forgiveness.
Also included is a section on forgiveness exercises (including journaling, making amends, and practicing patience). This is a broadly based spiritual and self-help book. Rooted in the philosophy of A Course in Miracles and drawing from other spiritual teachings (including Christianity, Sufism, Buddhism, the I Ching, and Jungian psychology), The Forgiveness Book is for those interested in spirituality, wholeness, and living a better and more fulfilling life.

body-mind-soma issue in our analytic experiences with our

investigation, not only the erogeneous body of infantile sexuality
but also the body of soma, is active in every psychoanalytic
culture. The author, who was trained in France, draws on Lacan and
examines the way in which he progressively tried to disembody the
theory and practice of psychoanalysis. He also argues that
psychoanalysts could have a mutually enriching dialogue with
neuro-biologists, not denying their differences of approach, but
rather stemming out of them.

barbarians not worth sparing. When Castus is sent to infiltrate the
camp of the Britons, these two children from completely different
worlds meet and form an unlikely alliance, before being swept into
Boudicca's rebellion. Reflect is a series of emotionally powerful

Today's globalized society faces some of humanity's most
unprecedented social and environmental challenges. Presenting
inspiring and effective approaches to a range of these challenges,
the timely volume before you draws upon individual cases of
exemplary leadership from the world's Dharma traditions-Hinduism,
Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The volume's authors refer to such
exemplary leaders as "beacons of Dharma," highlighting the ways in
which each figure, through their inspirational life work, provide
us with illuminating perspectives as we continue to confront cases
of grave injustice and needless suffering in the world. Taking on
difficult contemporary issues such as climate change, racial and
gender inequality, industrial agriculture and animal rights, fair
access to healthcare and education, and other such pressing
concerns, Beacons of Dharma offers a promising and much needed
contribution to our global conversations. Seeking to help alleviate
and remedy such social and environmental issues, each of the
chapters in the volume invites contemplation, inspires action, and
offers a freshly invigorating source of hope.

Humans have been using psychoactive (mind-altering) drugs since
ancient times. Barely a day goes by without a drug related issue
reaching the headlines, and drugs, in some way or other, affect all
of our lives, whether by our own use, the use of those we know, or
even from just being a victim of drug related crime.
This book provides an accessible and lucid introduction to some of
the main health and social issues related to illicit drugs and
their use. It reviews a range of popular drugs - including
amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, Ecstasy (MDMA), heroin and LSD
whilst considering the law related to such substances. Written in
an accessible and approachable style, the book dispels some of the
many myths about drug use that exist, offering an authoritative and
balanced perspective on issues of personal, local, national and
international importance.
Drug Nation will be essential reading for anyone who wants to be
informed about the drug situation, offering a sensible and
non-sensational account of drugs and drug taking.
