On June 6, 2015, David and Jackie Siegel received the call that no parent should ever get. Victoria, their beautiful, vibrant 18-year-old daughter, had died of a drug overdose. The Siegels vowed to do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening to other parents.

Right after Victoria passed away, Jackie received a text from one of Victoria's friends, directing her to look in Victoria's bedroom nightstand for a secret diary Victoria had kept-and suggesting they publish it. The Siegels decided to honor Victoria's wish.

Victoria's diary, in her own hand and featuring her own art, is bookended by intros by her parents before it and tips and resources after it. Victoria's Voice is a gripping peek inside the mind of a sometimes happy, healthy teen and other times a teen dramatically influenced by drugs and alcohol.

This is Victoria's voice-from beyond the grave. It could save your child's life.

Now in paperback--the definitive history of how the"Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous was written, edited, and finally brought to press.

It has been over forty years since Ernie Kurtz wrote Not-God, the last truly professional treatment of the history of Alcoholics Anonymous. While many books dealing with A.A. history have been written since then, Writing the Big Book is the first to bring that same kind of exhaustive research, scholarly discipline, and informed insight to the subject.

Schaberg's book--telling a detailed story that begins in October of 1937 (when a book was first proposed) and ends in April of 1939 (when Alcoholics Anonymous was published)--is based primarily on the wealth of 1930s documents currently preserved in several A.A. archives. Woven together into an exciting narrative, these real-time documents provide an almost week-by-week account of how the book was slowly put together. It is a story that unfolds with many unexpected turns and more than a few revealing departures from the hallowed stories so widely circulated by A.A. members in the past.

Writing the Big Book presents a robust and vivid picture of how Alcoholics Anonymous operated and grew in its earliest days along with a vast amount of previously unreported details about the cast of colorful characters who made that group so successful. Most surprising is the emergence of Bill Wilson's right-hand man, Hank Parkhurst, as the unsung hero in this story. Without Hank there would have been no book, but his unfortunate slip back into drinking just months after it was published resulted in him being almost completely written out of the supposedly factual stories told later.

Fast paced, engaging, and contrary, Writing the Big Book will decisively change whatever you think you know about early A.A. history and the ways in which this book--so central to the worldwide growth of this important twentieth century movement of spiritual recovery--actually came into being.

If your kid is mixing magic potions in the kitchen sink and they make all the dish soap mysteriously disappear, maybe he/she is ready for a real textbook on the art of potions and elixirs from a longtime professor at one of the best magic schools in Middle Earth. I wrote this book for my course at the North Landing Academy of Magic Arts, and it's been recommended for kids ages 7-12 at-home magic training.

These potions and spells are not based on any witchcraft, New Age, or esoteric religion lore or rituals. This book is fantasy-fiction-style educational activity material for the young fans of Harry Potter, Descendants, and other books and films of the magic fantasy genre.

It helps kids

- engage in fantasy play where they are the main character;

- develop their independent reading habit and grow reading fluency with an easy, 1st-2nd grade core vocabulary (about reading level 4)

- learn to organize and plan their own activities in advance by collecting and preparing potion ingredients (such as drying flowers, or orange peel, or collecting rocks).

The potion recipes and magic spells in this book use only safe everyday objects and substances you have at home or outside (like twigs, rocks, milk, sugar, salt, leaves, etc.), or common fruits and vegetables, like cucumber, apple, or orange. Absolutely no use of fire, household chemicals, or any items you can't purchase at a local grocery.

In this course we create potions which are not drinks: You sprinkle them around the house or outside. The only exceptions are a couple recipes from the Kitchen Magic genre (for example, fresh cucumber and basil enchanted water).

Along with magic, we'll learn a few facts of history and science, such as:

What is the oldest tree in the world?

Who invented glass windows, and what were windows like before glass?

What is the Archimedes Principle? Why don't big heavy ships sink?

What do salad and salary have in common?

What is the meaning of Mon in Monday, Tues in Tuesday, Wednes in Wednesday, and so on?

Who invented paper, and what did people write on before paper?

What is the origin of the words 'paper, ' 'book' and 'library'?

What is the alchemical symbol for salt?

Where do cinnamon and cloves come from?

What is the Ogham alphabet?

Who caught the Midgard Serpent?

...And more!

I will also address the two questions my Magic Academy students ask me most often:

'Are love potions real?' and 'Are fairies real?'

I'd like to warn you, that at the risk of disappointing your child, I have to be honest answering these questions, since this is a school textbook, not a fantasy fiction novel like Harry Potter.

Walter Riso, experto en amor y relaciones, nos propone una nueva guía para saber si amamos a la persona adecuada.

Te ha pasado alguna vez que de tanto dar amor te has olvidado de tu persona, de tus sueños, tus ilusiones, tu vocación, tus valores y tus sentimientos más profundos, como si hubieras sufrido una metamorfosis? Este libro es para ti.

A lo largo de todos estos años como terapeuta, Walter Riso ha constatado con frecuencia que en nuestras relaciones de pareja nos acostumbramos a dar excesivamente y a recibir muy poco o nada de la persona que amamos, y lo normalizamos, como si fuera lo natural. Nos resignamos a una relación desequilibrada por la creencia de que el verdadero amor no espera nada a cambio, como si la ecuación amorosa solo tuviera un miembro.

Para Walter Riso, esto no debe ser así. Un amor saludable fluye, va y viene, uno siente y ve el afecto del otro y viceversa.

Este libro te llevará por varios caminos para que revises tu estilo afectivo, trates de equilibrar tu relación y analices si estás en el lugar equivocado. Es posible que tu visión del amor se vea cuestionada y quizás deje de ser la misma. En cualquier caso, aprenderás que el amor saludable y funcional requiere de un principio imprescindible: necesito quererme para quererte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:

Throughout all these years as a therapist, Walter Riso has often seen that in our relationships we get used to giving in excess and receiving very little or nothing from the person we love. And we see it as normal, as if it were the natural way. We settle ourselves for an unbalanced relationship because of the belief that true love expects nothing in return, as if the love equation only had one member. This book will take you through several paths so that you review your affective style, try to balance your relationship and see if you are in the wrong place. Probably your view of love will be challenged as you learn that healthy and functional love requires an essential principle: I need to love myself to love you.

Readers of Walter Riso who are looking to heal and work on their personal growth, fans of motivational and inspirational books that hold clinical arguments. Has it ever happened to you that from giving so much love you have forgotten your own self, your dreams, your illusions, your values and your deepest feelings as if you had undergone a metamorphosis? This book is for you.

From boundary expert Terri Cole comes an empowering workbook featuring a wide variety of new practices, exercises, and encouragement.

Our culture is finally recognizing the importance of having and maintaining strong personal boundaries. But were you ever taught exactly how to set healthy boundaries? Fortunately, you don't have to figure it out for yourself. Following on the runaway success of her book Boundary Boss, Terri Cole presents a practice-packed guide to help you establish the robust boundaries that are essential for an empowered and deeply satisfying life.
The Boundary Boss Workbook greatly expands on the transformational tools Cole introduced in her debut book. You'll start with the essential truths about boundaries and how they operate, then dive straight into potent exercises--including assessments, scripts, mindfulness, embodiment, gratitude, celebration, and more. Here you'll explore:
- The importance of boundaries and how they affect every part of your life- Self-assessment quizzes to identify your preferences, desires, limits, and deal-breakers- Your self-care tool kit--meditations, reflections, and empowering practices- Getting proactive--how to anticipate and prepare for boundary-setting situations- Boundary scripts--creating the right words in your own voice for asserting boundaries - Internal boundary practices to shift your self-talk, habits, and unconscious behavior- Establishing and upholding new rules for healthy, authentic, and lasting relationships
Boundary work takes intention and commitment--but the results are worth it. "Drawing healthy boundaries is one of the highest expressions of self-love," says Cole. "When you do, every part of your life will blossom. You'll become more empowered in all your relationships--especially the one you have with yourself."
