The Worry Trap: How to Free Yourself from Worry &, Anxiety using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

2007 y.
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
Description: Have you tried to control your thoughts and `get your worrying under control?` Did it work? If it didn`t, try this simple exercise: Take thirty seconds, right here and now, and don`t think about something you recently worried about. Think about anything and everything else, but don`t think about that worry. How did you do? Like most of us, you probably could think of little else except whatever it was you worried about, no matter how hard you tried. This is the problem with trying to control your thoughts: Your attempts to stop worrying very often lead you to repeat and refresh the very worries you`re trying to dispel. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a revolutionary new approach to resolving a wide range of psychological problems--can help you break the cycle of chronic worry. ACT stresses letting go of your attempts to avoid, change, and get rid of worry. Instead, it shows you how to accept your feelings as they occur, without judgment. You`ll learn to `de-fuse`… [detailed...]

Description: As befits the man behind Baldrick, Tony Robinson has uncovered life in the underbelly of history. Whether it`s swilling out the crotch of a knight`s soiled armour after the battle of Agincourt, risking his neck in the rigging of HMS Victory, or as `Groomer of the Stool` going to places where none of Henry VIII`s six wives would venture, Tony endures the worst jobs imaginable to get to the bottom (sometimes literally) of the story. From the Roman invasion to the reign of Queen Victoria, Tony has met the challenge of seeking out the worst jobs of each era. The Gunpowder Plot drew Tony to the role of the Saltpetre Man who collected human waste because its nitrate content could be turned into gunpowder. In the same vein, he has revealed some of the worst jobs behind the building of the great medieval cathedrals. With Tony we discover the dire conditions of Nelson`s Victory, where the most common form of retirement was being sewn into a hammock with a couple of cannon balls and dropped… [detailed...]

But the second Age of Sail is dead: the magnetic sails all were struck, and the spaceships all were retrofitted with the new Farnsworth fusion drive. Once a legend, The River of Stars is now a tramp cargo freighter, plying the outer planets with a scanty crew of men and women with questionable pasts, private agendas, and more than a little interpersonal friction. When a bizarre failure disables the Farnsworth enginesdriving The River of Stars , the crew has a problem no Earthly sailor ever faced: their ports don`t stay put.

Thomas Frank
The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule

2008 y.
Publisher: Metropolitan Books
Description: In his previous book, Thomas Frank explained why working America votes for politicians who reserve their favors for the rich. Now, in `The Wrecking Crew`, Frank examines the blundering and corrupt Washington those politicians have given us. Casting back to the early days of the conservative revolution, Frank describes the rise of a ruling coalition dedicated to dismantling government. But rather than cutting down the big government they claim to hate, conservatives have simply sold it off, deregulating some industries, defunding others, but always turning public policy into a private-sector bidding war. Washington itself has been remade into a golden landscape of super-wealthy suburbs and gleaming lobbyist headquarters - the wages of government-by-entrepreneurship practiced so outrageously by figures such as Jack Abramoff. It is no coincidence, Frank argues, that the same politicians who guffaw at the idea of effective government have installed a regime in which… [detailed...]
