Self-Help – Building Self-Esteem

How Learning from Shame Helps Us to Grow

Despite what most people believe, shame and self-esteem are not opposites.
“With the skill of a master storyteller, Burgo vividly brings to life, through his clients’ struggles and his own, our shared journey to accept a startling truth: shame can either hobble us or help us thrive; it all depends on what we do with it. Savor this book’s lessons and exercises. You’ll come away with the kind of self-compassion that makes us all better people. “– Dr. Craig Malkin, Lecturer, Harvard Medical School and author of the internationally acclaimed book, Rethinking Narcissism.
Challenging widely-accepted views within the self-esteem movement, author Joseph Burgo argues that self-esteem does NOT thrive in the soil of non-stop praise and encouragement, but rather depends upon setting and meeting goals, living up to the expectations we hold for ourselves, and finally sharing our joy in achievement with the people who matter most to us. Along the way, listening to and learning from our encounters with shame will go further than affirmations and positive self-talk in helping us to build authentic self-esteem.
Richly illustrated with clinical stories from Burgo’s 35 years in private practice, Building Self-Esteem also describes the myriad ways that unacknowledged shame often hides behind a broad spectrum of mental disorders including social anxiety, narcissism, addiction, and masochism

“Doctor, your exam patient is ready in operatory #1”! But are you ready when your patient opens his mouth to reveal teeth blackened, broken, and rotted with decay?  At first glance, you might think the decay is from poor oral hygiene, candy or your patient’s soda consumption. But could it be from methamphetamine, a drug that causes severe tooth decay? Before you pick up your anesthetic syringe or dental drill, pick up and read “A State of Decay”: Your Dental Guide to Understanding and Treating Meth Mouth. With step-by-step advice and her outspoken style, Dr. Brown, walks you through how to Recognize, Communicate and Treat patients who have “meth mouth”. In these pages you’ll learn:
•       What methamphetamine is and why it causes rapid tooth decay
•       How to recognize patients in your practice who are using methamphetamine
•       Effective strategies to treat your patients with “meth mouth”
Excerpt
Addiction is a disease that is not discriminatory based upon socioeconomics, gender, race, culture, or geography.
Wealthy people can become addicted just like people who are poor. People who live in urban areas become addicted the same way people in rural areas get addicted. People who are educated get addicted just like people who are uneducated. At the jail, I have
treated truck drivers, teachers, soccer moms, CEOs, software engineers, chefs, nurses, lawyers, college students, athletes—the list goes on—who have used methamphetamine! They sit in the dental chair, seeking help for the damage that meth has done to their teeth, but they also sit in their jail cells due to the impact that methamphetamine has had on their lives and the lives of others. 
About the Author
Dr. Ronni Brown is a dentist, researcher, speaker and author who bridges the gap between dentistry, public health and substance abuse. Her work treating patients with “meth mouth” at a medium-security jail, research on the oral effects of methamphetamine, and courses at the world’s top dental conferences positions her as a leading expert on “meth mouth”. When not treating, speaking, or writing, Ronni can be found hiking, baking and visiting zoos across the world.

What do you want for Christmas? We all hear this question everywhere, but author Scott Rankin invites us all to slow down for a moment and ask a different question… What does God want for Christmas? Our Lord desires that we become more Christ-like every day (1 Corinthians 11:1). To accomplish this goal, He tells us to renew our minds (Romans 12:2). But how do the Christmas holidays help accomplish this goal if so much busyness and stress make it hard to focus all our attention on Christ and completely rest in His peace? In an easy-to-read format, “The Christian Christmas Condition” takes a new and refreshing look by asking the question, “How does our Lord feel about Christmas today?” encouraging Christians of all ages to examine Christmas-time traditions from God’s perspective. Filled with Bible references, this study will boost your faith, increase your knowledge, and strengthen you to fully honor Jesus in the midst of Christmas, traditions, and busy holiday activities, and reveal the secret of what God says in the Bible about Christmas today! Whether your family participates in Advent, Hanukkah, midnight mass, uses a Christmas tree, or watches for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, this powerful book encourages all Christians to become more Christ-like in our thinking and our actions each, and every day of the year… not just in the winter holidays!

• How beliefs are formed from a neuroscience perspective and how these beliefs filter your view of the world

• How your brain works so you can start rewiring it for success and reach your goals faster

Excerpt
This book shares with you my five keys to ‘hacking’ your affirmations.
But, more than this, I want these pages to be the ‘proof’ of that magic you already know is possible.
I want the facts and studies that I share with you to back up that feeling inside – you know the whisper that tells you that you can do it, that more is possible, that your dreams are within your reach.
That’s what this crazy life is about. It’s about having the best experience of yourself that you can, getting out of your own way and loving yourself enough to allow the unfurling and blossoming of your highest potential.
And yes, this can sound ‘woo woo,’ but by the end of this book you will see that it is in fact rooted in logic and supported by science.
We are funny beings, we humans. Even though we all quietly have a deep knowledge of and belief in our own greatness, we constantly doubt this and seek proof of the fact. We know in our heart of hearts that we are in a world of possibility, and we believe that a better future and better version of ourselves do exist. We just don’t know how to access it.
It is my intention that by the end of this book you will understand how your brain works, and you will know how to work your brain. The first part of the book gives you a very basic understanding of brain science. It will provide you with the proof, the hard data, the facts, and the research to back up that inner whisper trying to tell you of your awesomeness. It is important you understand this, as it will be the supporting information for the second part.
Once you have this under your belt and you understand how your brain works, then you’ll be nice and ready to dive into the second part of the book – the juicy part that will help you step into and liberate your awesomeness.
In this second part of the book, I will explain the five keys, and you will be able to begin applying them straightaway to who you want to be and the things you want to do and have in your life.
Everything is possible. Your dreams are within your reach. And you’ve got what it takes
Let’s do this!

Christian Living – King Here

Christian Living – King Here

 

Never Too OLD, Too RICH or Too ANYTHING to Meet Jesus
Christianity, Christian Living, Self-Help
Publisher: Morgan James Faith
 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png
King Here is the eye-opening true story of God’s unfolding plan to bring a rich man through the “eye of the needle”.
Trusting God and sharing Jesus with aging parents can be difficult. As Trish Porter Topmiller watched her father’s casket be lowered into the ground, she knew the complicated jigsaw puzzle of his life finally held the missing piece—Jesus. But for years his life seemed as far away from grace, and a believing faith in God, as a person can be. A multimillionaire entrepreneur who believed his financial fortress was invincible. He turned into a workaholic, adrenal junkie—and ultimate opioid statistic who had given up on life. Even then, grace found him. King Here is the eye-opening true story of God’s unfolding plan to bring a rich man through the “eye of the needle”.
For the ones who seem:
Too old – Too rich – Too addicted
Too hardened by life’s “slings and arrows”
Too cynical – Too anything
King Here offers hope that no matter how old, how rich or how addicted someone is, it’s never too late to meet Jesus. In this moving tribute to her father, Trish encourages readers to never give up on loved ones who seem “too far gone” for God to reach.
