Blown Away (eBook, ePUB)
This powerful memoir follows a father's journey to make sense of his world after losing his son to addiction and suicide. Fifteen years ago, Richard Boothby received a fateful call from his ex-wife that their twenty-three-year-old son, Oliver, was dead. Although Richard had been dreading this news, given Oliver's prolonged struggle with drug dependency, nothing could have prepared him for the devastating shock. He became obsessed with uncovering the truth of why Oliver shot himself-had he been self-medicating an undiagnosed mental illness?-and what they could have done to prevent it. In an attempt to stem the pain, Boothby turned to psychoanalysis. He was no stranger to the concept-as a professor of philosophy, he had focused his career on the intersection between psychoanalytic theory and contemporary philosophy-but this was far from an academic exercise. Through his time in talk therapy, as well as psychedelic experiences in a research study on psilocybin, he would gradually find a sense of acceptance of the unknown, and a renewed appreciation for life. Exploring the epidemics of substance abuse and gun violence from an intimate perspective, Boothby's poignant account of grief shows how the death of a loved one can in some ways bring us closer to them and ourselves.- Shop: buecher

Think on Purpose: Using Your Mind to Break Free from Anxiety and Depression , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
More people are struggling with anxiety and depression than ever before. In 2017, US deaths from alcohol, drugs, and suicide hit the highest level since record-keeping began. A newly released study from the National Safety Council found that Americans are now more likely to die from an opioid overdose than a car accident. For the first time in history, humans are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol as an attempt to battle our inner demons, and it is killing us faster than anything else. We already possess the tools and strategies to eliminate anxiety and depression without the need for drugs or alcohol. The human mind has the ultimate power to battle these demons; you simply need to know how to unlock it. To battle anxiety and depression, you must think on purpose. This book identifies five domains which block our ability to think on purpose: inner passivity, inner aggression, locus of control, cognitive distortion, and emotional distortion. You will learn how each of these affects your ability to think on purpose, and you will be able to take an assessment that identifies the levels of these five domains within you. Your journey toward mental and emotional well-being starts now! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Green. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/234134/bk_acx0_234134_sample.mp3.

Unhooked: How to Quit Anything , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min
We're all addicted to something - but when the crutch gets in the way of living a happy and productive life, it must stop. Over the last 25 years, renowned addiction therapist Dr. Fred Woolverton has used his dynamic, empathetic approach to help thousands of addicts achieve long-term recovery - including himself and his coauthor Susan Shapiro, whom he helped quit smoking and drinking and find success in both love and her career. Dr. Woolverton views the external habit as less important than the chaos and fear underlying the addiction, which we use to regulate our feelings. The solution, he has found, is easier than we think. Unhooked: How to Quit Anything is a smart, readable, and actionable guide to conquering any addictive habit. Using real patient examples as well as research and his own experience, Dr. Woolverton shows us how to thrive without self-medicating. His approach is an unorthodox blend of straightforward changes to behavior and open and honest conversation with another person. His specific instructions do not require an expensive therapist, rehab, 12-step program, or a higher power (but he does make readers aware of those viable options). Let Dr. Woolverton help you kick your addiction and move on with your life today! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Davis.
