How to Do the Work: Recognize Your… by Dr. Nicole LePera

 

 

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ·  INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

From Dr. Nicole LePera, creator of "the holistic psychologist"—the online phenomenon with more than two million Instagram followers—comes a revolutionary approach to healing that harnesses the power of the self to produce lasting change.

As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual wellness that equips people with the interdisciplinary tools necessary to heal themselves. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what she’d learned with others—and soon “The Holistic Psychologist” was born.

Now, Dr. LePera is ready to share her much-requested protocol with the world. In How to Do the Work, she offers both a manifesto for SelfHealing as well as an essential guide to creating a more vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. Drawing on the latest research from a diversity of scientific fields and healing modalities, Dr. LePera helps us recognize how adverse experiences and trauma in childhood live with us, resulting in whole body dysfunction—activating harmful stress responses that keep us stuck engaging in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviors can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell. 

In How to Do the Work, Dr. LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviors to reclaim and recreate their lives. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, this is a celebration of empowerment that will forever change the way we approach mental wellness and self-care.

 

The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom… by Shannon Bream

 

 

The women of the Bible lived timeless stories—by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.

People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.

In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.

From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.

The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History by Steve Deace and Todd Erzen (Author)

 

 

As heard on Glenn Beck

“In his famous Farewell Address, President Eisenhower warned about allowing public policy to become captive to a scientific elite without regard to the principles of our constitutional system and the goals of a free society. Eisenhower was prescient. During the COVID crisis, states like New York that embraced unadulterated Faucism saw poor results across the board, while states that pursued an Eisenhower-style approach like Florida protected freedom and performed better in education, economy and health outcomes. Executives are elected to lead and make tough decisions, and such leadership cannot be outsourced to health bureaucrats like Fauci.” —Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

“In this important book the authors do the job our uninquisitive media has failed to do throughout this ordeal. Confirming with cited and sourced details the enemy of both liberty and logic the lockdowns have proven to be. Which also proves too much power in the hands of an unelected bureaucrat, regardless of his intentions, can no longer be our new normal.” —U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

Can liberty survive in the hands of one all-powerful, unchallenged, and unelected bureaucrat?

It wasn’t too long ago that the average American didn’t know who Anthony Fauci was. Now, after the coronavirus has spread nationwide, he’s arguably the most powerful bureaucrat in American history. But is it dangerous for a free society to concentrate so much power in the hands of an unelected official? Who or what holds Fauci accountable?

No, è Eric Chambers, detective di punta dell'FBI, che sta indagando su una truffa miliardaria in cui è coinvolta la famiglia Sloan, venuto a spodestarla dal suo trono.

Con tutti i suoi beni confiscati, Lexi si ritrova in mezzo a una strada da un giorno all'altro, ma lei non ha nessuna intenzione di rimanerci. Anzi! Se Eric le ha tolto tutto, dovrà essere lui ad aiutarla e Lexi non accetterà un no come risposta, almeno finché non sarà riuscita a riabilitare il nome della sua famiglia, anche perché lei sarebbe una preziosa risorsa per le indagini. Riusciranno l'ereditiera che cuoce i toast usando il ferro da stiro e l'integerrimo detective di Brooklyn a collaborare senza scannarsi? O senza... innamorarsi?

Sacrifice by S. A. Santos

 

 

Kat woke up to find herself locked in an asylum against her will. She’s confused and couldn’t remember what happened that she ended up in this place.
Slowly she fought off the sedatives the nurse kept pumping into her veins and some rational thoughts and memories seeped into her consciousness.
Will she be able to fight off the despair and leave that place? If only Jason knew what happened to her... No, she couldn’t afford to think about Jason.

Jason kept his distance from Kat for years. But when Kat’s best friend calls him and asks for his help, he packs his bags and takes the next flight to South Carolina.
He made some calls and put his plan into motion to find Kat and retrieve her.
Please, don’t let her be hurt.
Jason summoned his self-control and blocked his overwhelming emotions.
He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and bring justice to the ones that hurt her even if it means surrendering to their desires.

Il sistema. Potere, politica affari: storia segreta della magistratura italiana di Alessandro Sallusti

 

 

Ottobre 2020: per la prima volta nella storia della magistratura un ex membro del Csm viene radiato dall'ordine giudiziario. Chi è Luca Palamara? Una carriera brillante avviata con la presidenza dell'Associazione nazionale magistrati a trentanove anni. A quarantacinque viene eletto nel Consiglio superiore della magistratura e, alla guida della corrente di centro, Unità per la Costituzione, contribuisce a determinare le decisioni dell'organo di autogoverno dei giudici. A fine maggio 2019, accusato di rapporti indebiti con imprenditori e politici e di aver lavorato illecitamente per orientare incarichi e nomine, diventa l'emblema del malcostume giudiziario. Incalzato dalle domande di Alessandro Sallusti, in questo libro Palamara racconta cosa sia il "Sistema" che ha pesantemente influenzato la politica italiana. "Tutti quelli - colleghi magistrati, importanti leader politici e uomini delle istituzioni molti dei quali tuttora al loro posto - che hanno partecipato con me a tessere questa tela erano pienamente consapevoli di ciò che stava accadendo." Il "Sistema" è il potere della magistratura, che non può essere scalfito: tutti coloro che ci hanno provato vengono abbattuti a colpi di sentenze, o magari attraverso un abile cecchino che, alla vigilia di una nomina, fa uscire notizie o intercettazioni sulla vita privata o i legami pericolosi di un magistrato. È quello che succede anche a Palamara: nel momento del suo massimo trionfo (l'elezione dei suoi candidati alle due più alte cariche della Corte di Cassazione), comincia la sua caduta. "Io non voglio portarmi segreti nella tomba, lo devo ai tanti magistrati che con queste storie nulla c'entrano."

Rovina e ascesa. Grishaverse di Leigh Bardugo (Autore), Roberta Verde (Traduttore)

 

 

"Disprezza il tuo cuore." Era quello che volevo. Non volevo più essere in lutto, soffrire per qualche perdita o per i sensi di colpa, o per la preoccupazione. Volevo essere dura, calcolatrice. Volevo essere impavida. Fino a poco prima mi era sembrato possibile. Ora ne ero meno sicura. L'Oscuro ha ormai esteso il suo dominio su Ravka grazie al suo esercito di creature mostruose. Per completare i suoi piani, gli manca solo avere nuovamente al suo fianco Alina, la sua Evocaluce. La giovane Grisha, anche se indebolita e costretta ad accettare la protezione dell'Apparat e di fanatici che la venerano come una Santa, non ha perso però le speranze: non tutto è perduto, sempre che un certo principe, sfacciato e fuorilegge, sia sopravvissuto, e che lei riesca a trovare la leggendaria creatura alata di Morozova, la chiave per liberare l'unico potere in grado di sconfiggere l'Oscuro e distruggere la Faglia. Per riuscirci, la potente Grisha dovrà tessere nuove alleanze e mettere da parte le vecchie rivalità. Nel farlo, verrà a conoscenza di alcuni segreti del passato dell'Oscuro che getteranno finalmente luce sulla natura del legame che li unisce e del potere che l'uomo esercita su di lei. Con una nuova guerra alle porte, Alina si avvia verso il compimento del proprio destino, consapevole che opporsi all'ondata di crescente oscurità che lambisce il suo paese potrebbe costarle proprio quel futuro per cui combatte da sempre.

The Anti-Christ by Friedrich Nietzsche

 

 

Here is Friedrich Nietzsche's great masterpiece The Anti-Christ, wherein Nietzsche attacks Christianity as a blight on humanity. This classic is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand Nietzsche and his place within the history of philosophy. "We should not deck out and embellish Christianity: it has waged a war to the death against this higher type of man, it has put all the deepest instincts of this type under its ban, it has developed its concept of evil, of the Evil One himself, out of these instincts-the strong man as the typical reprobate, the 'outcast among men.' Christianity has taken the part of all the weak, the low, the botched; it has made an ideal out of antagonism to all the self-preservative instincts of sound life; it has corrupted even the faculties of those natures that are intellectually most vigorous, by representing the highest intellectual values as sinful, as misleading, as full of temptation. The most lamentable example: the corruption of Pascal, who believed that his intellect had been destroyed by original sin, whereas it was actually destroyed by Christianity!" -Friedrich Nietzsche

Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche

 

 

Insanity in individuals is something rare—but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.

Nietzsche’s famous work Beyond Good and Evil follows up on the morality ideas presented in his prior publication, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883), and further challenges the accepted standards previous philosophers held surrounding morality. This nine part work, which includes an entire chapter (Chapter IV) of short aphorisms, has become a mainstay in philosophical thinking

Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche

 

 

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, published in four parts between 1883 and 1891. As one of the most influential works in modern nihilism, the book follows the life, speeches, and travels of Zarathustra, the originator of Zoroastrianism. Thus Spoke Zarathustra argues man should seek to perfect himself during his life on earth, surpassing societal standards of morality and goodness. The ideal is - man transforming himself into the “Übermensch,” a more evolved, superhuman-like state of being. Thus Spoke Zarathustra argues every man should follow his own path not dictated by societal conventions. This work is fundamental in guiding existentialist thought and the study of modern philosophy.

Lily Macarthur teaches psychology at an adult ed. school by day, and runs from her past every chance she gets. When she attends course registration the last week of summer break, she never imagines she'll meet a student with a past as mysterious as her own.

Chad Anderson is instantly attracted to Lily, but he's been in prison so long he knows better than to expect such an intelligent woman to fall for a guy like him. He takes a risk and signs up for her class, hoping to get to know her better, and to start over.

A chance encounter one fall night throws the unlikely pair together for survival, friendship, and perhaps something more. But forces beyond their control threaten to destroy more than just their reputations. In a world full of bystanders, will someone take a stand against the powers of evil?

Everything can change in A Moment in Time.
