Scientific Healing Affirmations
“Scientific Healing Affirmations” is the guide to positive, concentrated thought by renowned Indian yogi and guru Paramahansa Yogananda. Born in India in 1893, Yogananda came to the United States in 1920 to spread the teachings of yoga and Indian spirituality to the West. His speaking tours and published works were incredibly successful in bringing yoga and meditation to a new audience and Yogananda is often called the “Father of Yoga in the West”. Most famous for his 1946 memoir, “Autobiography of a Yogi”, Yogananda wrote extensively on spirituality, religion, and history, as well as practical guides on yoga, meditation, and positive thinking. “Scientific Healing Affirmations” was far ahead of its time in showing how effective and useful positive affirmations can be in one’s daily life. Now a mainstream practice and embraced by the medical and scientific community for how affirmations can significantly improve one’s psychological and physical state, Yogananda was one of the first to bring this ancient Eastern spiritual practice to America and the West. Detailed, comprehensive, encouraging, and accessible, “Scientific Healing Affirmations” guides readers in incorporating affirmations into their daily lives and continues to be one of the most important books ever written on this powerful and life-changing practice.

Heroin User's Handbook
Heroin is a fascinating drug to most people.It is often referred to as the “hardest drug.” By this logic, people might start with alcohol, work up to marijuana and maybe LSD. Then they reach to cocaine or methamphetamine. And finally, at the end of the journey is heroin. But like most things about heroin, this is more myth than reality.For non-users, this mythic power is exciting. And writers for the last century have been more than willing to pander to such readers in pulp and art novels all the way up to television crime novels. But it is rare for the most people to get a real look at what is, after all, the very core of what heroin is about for its users.To users, the interest is obvious. But ignorance of the the details of drug use among heroin users is rife — usually based on what the author calls “old junkie tales.” The difference between such folklore and the truth is often the difference between life and death.The Heroin User’s Handbook reveals the largely hidden world of heroin use based upon actual work with users and countless scholarly books and articles. And it does it in an extremely readable, non-technical manner — even while providing detained and accurate information.The book discusses all aspects of heroin use: the acquisition of drugs, the administration of them, health risks, legal issues, social aspects, and addiction and detox. It provides the non-heroin world with a detailed look inside a very rarefied subculture. But it also provides the those in the heroin using world life-saving information.
The Worrywart's Companion
Worrywarts are characterized by chronic anxiety, enslavement to out-of-control thoughts, and haranguing themselves to a degree that triggers FUD — fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Smart worriers take control of their worry by creating a time and place to do the work of worry, objectively studying their behavior to better understand how to worry effectively, and practicing flexible thinking rather than rut thinking. Smart worriers look for solutions, including partial solutions, and accept what can’t be changed, challenge their worries, practice making under-reactive statements that defuse anxiety rather than fuel it. The Worrywart’s Companion offers a smorgasbord of tools to help readers become smart worriers, including deep breathing and muscles relaxing exercises, practicing deliberate belly laughing, saying a prayer, doing a good deed, taking a walk, rocking oneself, counting details to keep one’s mind off of the worry, and more. When smart worriers finish the work of worry, they purposefully soothe themselves so that they can move on to other activities. The Worrywart’s Companion helps disquieted readers integrate soothing activities into their daily lives to keep worry-provoking anxiety in check.

Severe, chronic pain affects at least 116 million Americans every year. But there are fewer than 4,000 pain specialists in the United States, and many insurers won’t cover physical therapy.

Heavy-handed government attempts to crack down on pain and anxiety medications have terrorized doctors and pharmacists and left thousands of desperate people in severe pain.Prescription Drug Abuse shows how big the problem is: how it became a problem, what is being done about it, and what readers can do. The book shows the risks, the benefits, and the safe way to use some of modern healthcare’s most miraculous medicines.
