Worrying Is Optional: Break the Cycle of Anxiety and Rumination That Keeps You Stuck
We live in an increasingly uncertain world, and if you struggle with worry, you aren't alone. You should also know that there's nothing wrong with worry. Worry happens to all of us-and it can even be helpful at times. But excessive worrying-the kind that keeps us up at night, interferes with our thinking during the day, and hijacks our ability to make decisions-is a big problem. The good news is that, while worry is inevitable, worrying is completely optional. This book will show you how to break free from the unhelpful thinking habits that keep you stuck in a loop of rumination and anxiety. With help from this guide, you'll learn to build your own customizable, anti-worrying toolbox using skills and strategies from metacognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). You'll discover the science behind why you worry, and how to put the brakes on unhelpful rumination and anxious thoughts-before they kick your worry and anxiety into high gear. There's no one-size-fits-all treatment, but by assembling an arsenal of tools, skills, and strategies, excessive worry can be managed. This book will help you get started now. Contains mature themes.

Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
An "introduction to the nonfascist life" (Michel Foucault, from the Preface) When it first appeared in France, Anti-Oedipus was hailed as a masterpiece by some and "a work of heretical madness" by others. In it, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari set forth the following theory: Western society's innate herd instinct has allowed the government, the media, and even the principles of economics to take advantage of each person's unwillingness to be cut off from the group. What's more, those who suffer from mental disorders may not be insane, but could be individuals in the purest sense, because they are by nature isolated from society. More than twenty-five years after its original publication, Anti-Oedipus still stands as a controversial contribution to a much-needed dialogue on the nature of free thinking.

Bipolar General: My Forever War with Mental Illness
Maj. Gen. Gregg Martin cut a striking figure in the Army: athletic, quick witted, devout, and studious, he was a natural leader. Thanks to his engineering and leadership knowhow, Martin was chosen to lead the thousands of combat engineers who paved the way for 100,000 Army troops to battle their way to Baghdad in 2003. Only years later would he learn how the pressure of organizing dozens of simultaneous life-or-death missions each day altered the biochemistry of his brain. The Iraq War triggered what military and Veterans Administration psychiatrists ultimately diagnosed as late-onset bipolar disorder, a chemical imbalance that sends sufferers whipsawing between grandiose imaginings and suicidal depressions. His increasing erratic behavior led to his forced resignation as president of the National Defense University and ended his military career. Bipolar General offers a candid account of Martin's personal journey with undiagnosed mental illness as he rose through the ranks of the United States Army. He discusses why his condition went undiagnosed for so long and explores what can be done both within and outside the armed forces to diagnose and treat mental illness. Bipolar General should be of value to those with mental illness and to the communities of family, friends, and caregivers surrounding them.

Writing the Shadow: Turn Your Inner Darkness Into Words
Do you want to connect with readers on a deeper level?Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre? Are you interested in creative self-development? If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you. This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories — but this book is really about helping you reach readers with your words — and move to the next level in your writing. We all long to write boldly, without filters or fear. To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living — darkness and all. But something holds us back. Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely — and sometimes, from living fully. But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity—both light and Shadow. In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead. The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words. “I love everything Joanna Penn does, but Writing the Shadow is the icing on the cake. Ms Penn has found the gold within the darkness and has lit a candle to show us the way.” Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art

[German] - Künstliche Intelligenz - Dem Menschen überlegen - wie KI uns rettet und bedroht (Ungekürz
Künstliche Intelligenz: Expertenwissen gegen Hysterie Der renommierte Gehirnforscher, Psychiater und Bestseller-Autor Manfred Spitzer ist ein ausgewiesener Experte für neuronale Netze, auf denen KI aufbaut. Sein topaktuelles Hörbuch über künstliche Intelligenz informiert, klärt auf - und macht klar, dass niemand vorhersehen kann, ob mit KI Rettung oder Untergang auf die Menschheit zukommt. 'Wir brauchen nicht darüber nachzudenken, ob eine allgemeine KI irgendwann Bewusstsein hat oder die Menschheit vernichtet - das ist Science Fiction. Aber über reale Risiken und Gefahren von böswilligen Menschen, die KI für ihre Zwecke missbrauchen, müssen wir nachdenken - gründlich. Und über die Verantwortung der reichsten Unternehmen der Welt auch.' Manfred Spitzer Das Jahr 2023 wird als der Beginn einer neuen Epoche in die Menschheitsgeschichte eingehen, als 'Plauder-KIs' wie ChatGPT Schlagzeilen machten. Künstliche Intelligenz verändert die Welt, und das schneller und weitergehend als gedacht. Das beschreibt der Neurowissenschaftler und Bestseller-Autor Manfred Spitzer eindrucksvoll in seinem neuen Hörbuch. Sie funktioniert im Kern mit neuronalen Netzwerken, über die der Autor vor rund 30 Jahren bereits bahnbrechend geforscht hat. Er analysiert hier nun den Einsatz von KI in den Bereichen Medizin, Militär, Klima, Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften, Verbrechensbekämpfung, Politik, Wirtschaft sowie im Alltag. Sein beunruhigendes Fazit: KI durchdringt schon jetzt unser Leben und unsere Gesellschaft, und zwar ohne jede Regulierung, von vorheriger Technikfolgenabschätzung nicht zu reden. KIs produzieren eben nicht nur 'Dummheiten'; in falschen Händen können sie die Menschheit in den Abgrund stürzen. Aus dem Inhalt: ChatGPT: Geist aus der Flasche - Der Plauderroboter - Sprengstoff, Ladendiebstahl, Folter und Weltuntergang - Vertrauen, Transparenz und Verantwortung Was bisher geschah: Von AlphaGo Zero bis MuZero - Künstliche Intuition - Hautkrebs und Handy - Eiweiß-Origami in der Molekularbiologie - Neue Antibiotika gegen unheilbare Krankheiten Gehirncomputer: Der erste Neuroinformatiker - Neuroplastizität - Abstraktion durch Tiefe - KI verbessert selbst - Algorithmen vs. neuronale Netzwerke Naturwissenschaft: Intuition - Denken, ohne zu denken Computer - 'schnell und dumm'?

Ride Big: The Ultimate Guide to Building Equestrian Confidence
An easy-to-implement framework proven to grow rider confidence, tested by the world's leading equestrian athletes. Without confidence, achievement in competition is unattainable. When confidence is lacking in any sport, equestrian included, chances are your career will be short. Renowned performance coach John Haime has written the book to counter this challenge, providing the mental tools riders need to be better under pressure of all kinds and consistently succeed. Equestrian sport is a partnership: there's an equine athlete, and there's a human athlete. Haime notes that often, there is an investment in world-class training for one partner (the horse), but not the other (the human). This compromises the potential effectiveness of the horse-and-rider team. It just makes sense for equestrians to develop their own skills—mental and physical—and bring more to the partnership. Haime explains that there is what he believes is a crisis of confidence in modern equestrian sport. This has a variety of causes, including: a lack of fundamental mental/emotional structure and development, the presence and prominence of technology in the rider's life, and the constant comparisons inherent in social media and a technically 'connected' existence. Addressing this crisis enables equestrians of all ages and abilities to: communicate better with their horses, both in day-to-day interactions and competition; absorb more in valuable learning situations, such as lessons and clinics; and perform their best when the stakes are high, as when heading into the jump-off or approaching the last fence on the cross-country course. Haime invites readers to dive into three clear and informative areas of exploration: - The Confidence Building Blocks: Firm up the fundamentals. - The Confidence Builders: Systems and tips to help you build confidence. - The Confidence Threats: An inside look at what to watch out for in riding and in competition.Throughout, those who have reached the highest levels on horseback in a number of disciplines share their stories, including Michael Jung, Beezie Madden, McLain Ward, Laura Tomlinson, Harry Meade, Oliver Townend, Mattias Tromp, Casey Deary, Beth Underhill, Fred Mannix, Jared Zenni, Jonathon Millar, and Kelly Soleau-Millar. These Olympians, champions, and medalists explain what they do in the saddle and how their techniques for performing under world-class pressure might help other riders develop a similar kind of confidence. Perhaps even more valuable are the struggles these top competitors share, giving readers the rare opportunity to see how even 'the best of the best' are human, too. The way riders develop confidence in their equestrian lives is transferable to everything they do: a confident rider can be a confident business person, confident worker, confident spouse, confident parent, and confident friend. In this way, Ride Big!™ instills a skill of worth and promise that extends far beyond the show ring.
