Book Description
In the beginning there was, the word, a sound, a vibration. Would you like to experience the freedom from being offended, freedom from control and manipulation? ItOs all in the words we hear and the words we use. Words make up our thoughts, our thoughts make up our opinions and our opinions generally end up giving us heartburn. Thoughts come first, everything else follows and wherever you go, there you are. Have you ever tried to escape a thought? Have you ever, lost, your sense of humor? Maybe it flew out of the window on the freeway somewhere. There is a way to get it back. Discover new vistas and fields for your mind to wander through. It's just a thought. Or is it?

Book Description
Scottie Berrand was not unlike many young American men in the late 1960s and early 70s. He enjoyed cars and respected his elders, especially the men in his family who had answered the call of duty in wars dating back to the Civil and Revolutionary Wars. So when Berrand enlisted and went to Vietnam, he felt as if he were doing exactly what those who came before him did answering the call of his country. Vietnam was a different war though. Combat was horrific, confusing, and near nonstop for the young men on the ground in Southeast Asia. Upon returning home from a traumatic tour, Scottie struggled with the reception he and other Vietnam veterans received as well as adjustment back into civilian life. Through the love of a woman and the reconnection with a brother, a fellow combat veteran, he was able to put the war behind him and move on. We Answered the Call is a must read for those wanting to better understand the life of a combat veteran in Vietnam and the struggles these men endured during the war and in the decades since the war.

It calls us to authenticity, reminds us of life’s adversity, but also points us to our possibility.

It challenges us to get in touch with ourselves and embrace the opportunity of the genesis of a much brighter and fulfilling life in our tomorrow.

Book Description
Dr. Whitfield provides a clear and effective introduction to the basic principles of recovery. This book is a modern classic, as fresh and useful today as it was more than a decade ago when first published. Here, frontline physician and therapist Charles Whitfield describes the process of wounding that the Child Within (True Self) experiences and shows how to differentiate the True Self from the false self. He also describes the core issues of recovery and more. Other writings on this topic have come and gone, while Healing the Child Within has remained a strong introduction to recognizing and healing from the painful effects of childhood trauma. Highly recommended by therapists and survivors of trauma.

Book Description
This book explores the view that normative behaviour is part of a complex of social mechanisms, processes and narratives that are constantly shifting. From this perspective, norms are not a kind of self-contained social object or fact, but rather an interplay of many things that we label as norms when we ‘take a snapshot’ of them at a particular instant. Further, this book pursues the hypothesis that considering the dynamic aspects of these phenomena sheds new light on them. The sort of issues that this perspective opens to exploration include: Of what is this complex we call a "social norm" composed of? How do new social norms emerge and what kind of circumstances might facilitate such an appearance? How context-specific are the norms and patterns of normative behaviour that arise? How do the cognitive and the social aspects of norms interact over time? How do expectations, beliefs and individual rationality interact with social norm complexes to effect behaviour? How does our social embeddedness relate to social constraint upon behaviour? How might the socio-cognitive complexes that we call norms be usefully researched?
