He has written several books geared toward self-improvement, including The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution. Since the publication of that book ten years ago, dietary research and his own insights into the nature of weight loss have inspired him to write The 20/20 Diet Book. This book offers an approach to weight loss based on eating the right foods, performing the right exercises, and using techniques from psychology to harness control over food cravings.

La dictature de l'égo

La dictature de l'égo

Autor: Mathias Roux

Número de Páginas: 220

On ne peut plus y échapper ! Livres, magazines, télé, radio : partout on nous exhorte à être nous-mêmes, à nous aimer, à nous raconter. Mais, loin d’être libératrice, cette mise en avant toujours plus prononcée du Moi renforce nos dépendances et en crée de nouvelles. Gagnés par ce narcissisme inédit nous sommes à la fois acteurs et victimes de la dictature de l’ego. Ce livre dresse le portrait du Narcisse contemporain - Parce qu’il le vaut bien ! - et montre comment le succès du développement personnel favorise sa diffusion. Pour résister aux pseudos promesses d’émancipation et poser un regard alternatif sur les difficultés de l’existence, l’auteur esquisse des pistes philosophiques pour nous libérer de la prison du Moi. Mathias Roux est normalien et agrégé de philosophie. Il enseigne dans le secondaire et le supérieur. Il est auteur de quatre ouvrages dont Socrate en crampons, une introduction sportive à la philosophie chez Flammarion pour lequel il a reçu le Prix de l’Essai décerné par la rédaction de L’Express.

De la carta a los padres del Dr. Phil McGraw: Quiero hablarle de la familia: de la suya y de la mía. Sé y siento que, como padres, usted y yo compartimos algunas prioridades muy importantes. Igual que usted, yo amo a mi familia más que nada en el mundo y quiero que toda mi familia esté protegida y sana y que sea feliz y próspera en todo lo que hagamos, tanto en nuestro ámbito familiar como cuando salimos al mundo. Los cínicos le dirán que en esta sociedad de ritmo vertiginoso, la "familia" es algo obsoleto, que es un concepto antiguo, perdido, que queda enterrado en un mundo ocupado por personaes "iluminadas".

Sham

Sham

Autor: Steve Salerno

Número de Páginas: 288

Self-help: To millions of Americans it seems like a godsend. To many others it seems like a joke. But as investigative reporter Steve Salerno reveals in this groundbreaking book, it’s neither—in fact it’s much worse than a joke. Going deep inside the Self-Help and Actualization Movement (fittingly, the words form the acronym SHAM), Salerno offers the first serious exposé of this multibillion-dollar industry and the real damage it is doing—not just to its paying customers, but to all of American society. Based on the author’s extensive reporting—and the inside look at the industry he got while working at a leading “lifestyle” publisher—SHAM shows how thinly credentialed “experts” now dispense advice on everything from mental health to relationships to diet to personal finance to business strategy. Americans spend upward of $8 billion every year on self-help programs and products. And those staggering financial costs are actually the least of our worries. SHAM demonstrates how the self-help movement’s core philosophies have infected virtually every aspect of American life—the home, the workplace, the schools, and more. And Salerno exposes the downside of...

The Social History of the American Family

The Social History of the American Family

Autor: Marilyn J. Coleman , Lawrence H. Ganong

Número de Páginas: 3575

The American family has come a long way from the days of the idealized family portrayed in iconic television shows of the 1950s and 1960s. The four volumes of The Social History of the American Family explore the vital role of the family as the fundamental social unit across the span of American history. Experiences of family life shape so much of an individual’s development and identity, yet the patterns of family structure, family life, and family transition vary across time, space, and socioeconomic contexts. Both the definition of who or what counts as family and representations of the "ideal" family have changed over time. Available in both digital and print formats, this carefully balanced academic work chronicles the social, cultural, economic, and political aspects of American families from the colonial period to the present. Key themes include families and culture (including mass media), families and religion, families and the economy, families and social issues, families and social stratification and conflict, family structures (including marriage and divorce, gender roles, parenting and children, and mixed and non-modal family forms), and family law and policy....

An Infinity of Interpretations

An Infinity of Interpretations

Autor: Ronald E. Kimmons

Número de Páginas: 218

In An Infinity of Interpretations, Dr. Kimmons explores a simple thesis: Life has no meaning except what we assign to it. Dr. Kimmons simple thesis helps us begin to understand why there is such a variety of interpretations of just about everything encountered in modern times, including ideas and behavioral phenomena from politics, science, social science, entertainment, and religion. Dr.Kimmons proposes that most of what we want to accomplish in this lifetime is driven not by a quest for money, power, sex, glory, religion, or objective knowledge. Rather, what we want to accomplish in this lifetime is driven by our desire to understand, justify, and perpetuate our life. While including bits and pieces of his own life story (along with social commentary about a variety of matters taking place in these times), in this book Dr. Kimmons addresses the origins of his thesis and uses Freud and White as part of a theoretical framework for his thesis. The core of Dr. Kimmons book, however, is his attempt to illustrate how individuals may actualize themselves through completely different processes but all with the same ultimate goal or end in mind: To understand, justify, and perpetuate...

Autor: Robin Mcgraw

Número de Páginas: 238

I believe we were put on this earth to enjoy lives of joy and abundance, and that is what I want for you and for me. It's not my intention to give people advice on how to solve their problems (I leave that to my husband). But I've had my share of struggles over the years, and I know a thing or two about what has worked for me. I have chosen to be an active participant in my life rather than a spectator, and in so doing I have chosen how to be a woman, how to be a wife, and how to be a mother in ways that are uniquely my own. I offer the stories of these choices as evidence of the power of sheer determination, will, and faith in God. You've seen her on television with her husband, Dr. Phil. But now it's time for a heart-to-heart conversation with Robin McGraw. In Inside My Heart, Robin speaks woman to woman, inspiring you to embrace and celebrate the many roles you play and encouraging you to make deliberate choices that lead to a richer, happier, and more meaningful life. She shares with you the life-changing moments of her childhood years, dating and marrying Dr. Phil McGraw, raising two sons, and asserting herself as a woman in a man's world to show you that you have the power...

Social Work and Mental Health

Autor: Sylvia I. Mignon

Número de Páginas: 323

Clear, comprehensive, and accessible, this textbook presents an overview of the contemporary American mental health system and its impact on clients and social workers. The failure of the system to provide quality care for the mentally ill is explored, including issues and policies that social workers face in accessing mental health care for their clients, while also discussing the ways in which social workers can improve the overall functioning of the system and promote the development and expansion of policy and practice innovations. This is the first textbook to examine the lack of understanding of the roots of mental illness, the challenges in classification of mental disorders for social workers, and difficult behavioral manifestations of mental illness. By looking at the flaws and disparities in the provision of mental health services, especially in relation to the criminal justice system and homelessness and mental illness, social work students will be able to apply policy and practice to improve mental health care in their everyday work. A focus on the lived experiences of the mentally ill and their families, along with the experiences of social workers, adds a unique,...

Women in True Crime Media

Women in True Crime Media

Autor: Jen Erdman

Número de Páginas: 261

While many people think true crime is a new phenomenon, Americans have been obsessed with the genre for over a century, and popular culture continuously tries to cash in. The names of infamous serial killers are well-known, but the identities of their often-female victims are frequently lost to history. This text flips the script and focuses on the women to keep their identities known and remembered. This is the first book to examine how popular culture has mistreated women as both perpetrators and victims of crime, covering a hundred-year span from 1920 to 2020. Detailed is popular culture's interest in true crime and how women in true crime documentation have largely been sexualized and victim-blamed over the decades.
