Finding happiness can be like finding the matching sock your dryer ate
long, long ago; you’re sure it’s there, but you just don’t know where to
look.

The Self-Compassion Project is the antidote to endless hours of berating
yourself for not finding inner peace. You’ve tried meditation, self-help
groups, singing bowl therapy and all that other stuff and nothing really
“clicks”. Instead of searching for inner peace, why not simply
uncover it?

In this down-to-earth, practical and witty self-help guide, Rita
Desnoyers-Garcia
offers six simple steps to get to the gooey center of your
soul, where you can finally relax and enjoy life. Rita’s sound advice is
based on years of using her techniques for herself and teaching clients how
to use them. The advice Rita gives will help you:

– Become aware of when you are not being your own best friend (who else is
going to love you more than you?)

– Notice what’s underneath all those “negative” emotions like
anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety- and understand what those emotions are
telling you (it maynot be all bad!)

– Create a new outlook on life that is more positive, peaceful, and leaves
you feeling more at ease with any circumstance what will come your way
(Superwoman, scooch over!)

By the end of the book you’ll understand why self-compassion is the key to
finding your true self. It’s the trick to feeling more in-tune with your
HIgher Self and more aligned with the important people in your life (all
7.53 billion of them!)

Become emotionally stronger, more effective, and happier by giving yourself
a break ( and reading this book)!

Are We Really Biochemical Robots? cover

Sam Harris’ Crusade Against Free Will

Nonfiction

Date Published: March 19, 2022

Publisher: Biochemical Press

It’s the 10th anniversary of Sam Harris’ Free Will, one of the most popular
books of the past decade written on the free will debate. Harris’
well-deserved reputation as an author, intellectual, and social commentator
has afforded Free Will exposure that books on the subject rarely enjoy. The
10th anniversary of its publication makes the timing right for a
no-holds-barred critique of determinism and Free Will’s take on determinist
doctrine. The moral implications of the free will debate have gained renewed
urgency from scientific findings that the belief in determinism leads to
cheating, aggression, and other immoral conduct. Are We Really Biochemical
Robots? delivers an unsparing blow to determinism and its circular premises,
reliance on selective evidence, and moral equivalency.

Topics include:

Why science findings claiming to support determinism do nothing of the
kind.

Why determinism’s number one premise, causation, is conceptually and
scientifically unsound.

Why relativity theory and quantum mechanics laid determinism to rest
decades ago.

Why moral and personal responsibility can’t exist in a causal
universe.

Why determinism renders our criminal justice system useless.

 

In perhaps its most unique contribution, Biochemical Robots reaches beyond
the confines of Free Will’s discussion to expose the fundamental flaw at the
heart of determinist doctrine – the self-contradictory nature of
determinist truth claims. Determinism receives its final coup de grâce
in Biochemical Robots’ closing pages. The reign of causation is given a
eulogy that’s long overdue.

EXCERPT

What would having free will require? Free Will maintains we would need to “completely control” everything that determines us. Everything means everything – our genetics, neurophysiology, birth circumstances, personal attributes, cultural identity, etc. Add to these our parents, upbringing, and character. Why would we need to control such a comprehensive array of elements to have free will? The idea that free will would need such extensive controls to operate is far afield of the conventional notion. Is such an absolutist conception of free will justified? Why isn’t free will just what common sense suggests – the limited ability to influence reality, subject to conditions, circumstances, and constraints not of its making?

A blueprint for rebuilding the social fabric and reimagining an inclusive
society

Nonfiction

Date Published: November 15, 2021

Publisher:
Cogent Publishing

A timely reminder of our shared humanity and the fragile social contract
that binds us together.

This book is also about taking a deep breath and reassessing our
institutions, systems, and values and re-purposing them in an uncertain
post-pandemic world. It is about engineering positive change to achieve a
better world—“for the people”—where most of the
population can thrive and prosper, while building and maintaining the core
values of equality, trust, and empathy. I hope to show how a shift in
perspective that has blossomed in our small island nation might be the
catalyst for far more sweeping change in bigger countries like the United
States and the United Kingdom. I hope that it will help awaken the world to
the fragility of our shared humanity at what may well prove to be a unique
time in history.

In my book debut “The Power of Wellbeing”, I challenge readers to join me on a journey and to ignore the naysayers and noise and imagine a better, fairer and more sustainable society – and to create an environment where most people can genuinely flourish and thrive.

Everything you wanted to know about shrooms, pregnancy &
breastfeeding

 

Nonfiction, Pregnancy, Self-Help

There are no published studies on the long term effects of using magic
mushrooms during pregnancy, in contrast to the many published studies
regarding the impact SSRI’s have on pregnancy.

Mental Health, Magic Mushrooms and Pregnancy tries to bridge that gap by
presenting all the  latest science  in a digestible way.

Inside, we look at the  dangers of untreated maternal
depression,  examine the importance of serotonin in fetal brain
development,  and explore how SSRI’s impact the health of the
child.

Instead of 100’s of boring  pages, you’ll find everything
you wanted to know (and more) about how psilocybin compares to SSRI’s
in the treatment of maternal depression.

This book is for educational purposes only.
