Cancer Heroes are all around us. They are the survivors who offer hope to all they encounter, the nurturers who hold their best friend's hand during chemotherapy, and the beautiful souls who leave a legacy of impact that rings just as loud as any remission bell.

Cancer Heroes: Lovingly Woven Stories of Healing, Survival, and Profound Transformation is a collection of love letters written by and for those amid their cancer journeys. Walk alongside authors as they share brave, intimate accounts of their unique cancer experiences, from the shock of diagnosis and anxiety of cancer treatment to the fear of recurrence and pain of loss.

You'll find messages of hope and healing from a community of voices who have experienced the worst cancer has to offer and, in the process, found inner strength they didn't know they had.

These courageous authors have been drawn together by best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and papillary thyroid cancer survivor Shirin Ariff to put the biggest challenges of their lives into writing. Read about these ordinary humans living extraordinary lives in the face of squamous cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, pancreatic cancer, meningioma, papillary carcinoma, and breast cancer.

Each author takes your hand and walks with you through the wisdom they've gained from cancer, the surprising gifts they discovered, and the profound transformation they've undergone, which has forever changed the way they live, love, and look at their life as Cancer Heroes.

Powerful CBT skills to overcome the one-two punch of adult ADHD and anxiety.

If you have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you may have trouble staying focused, struggle with interpersonal relationships and rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), and you may have gone through your life feeling like something was "wrong" with you. Is it any wonder, then, that people with ADHD are twice as likely to also suffer from anxiety?

Dealing with just one of these conditions is enough to disrupt your life; but when they're stacked, they create their own brand of discomfort that can be nothing short of debilitating. What you need is a unified approach to managing your ADHD and anxiety. This first-of-its-kind workbook can help.

In The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook, psychologist and ADHD expert Russell Ramsay offers a comprehensive approach to managing the one-two punch of ADHD and anxiety. Grounded in proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)--the gold standard for treating anxiety--you'll find the skills you need to manage your symptoms, so you can be confident, focused, and achieve a much-needed sense of calm. Each chapter is filled with reflection exercises, self-help activities, and key reminders to keep you on track.

If you have ADHD and commonly experience feelings of anxiety, worry, or general uneasiness when facing the trials of everyday adult life, this workbook will help you take control of your symptoms, so you can not only achieve your highest aspirations, but find happiness and peace of mind as well.

A powerful, culturally informed workbook to help you heal the pain of racial trauma, build resilience, and thrive.

If you are an Asian American who has experienced racial violence, verbal harassment, stereotyping, or microaggressions, you might feel like the world is unsafe. You may suffer from anxiety, depression, or painful memories as a result of this trauma. And if you seek help, you may find that Western-trained mental health professionals simply can't understand your pain and life experiences. This book provides culturally informed treatment methods to help you heal from and fortify yourself against race-based trauma--including intergenerational and historical trauma--and stress.

Written by an Asian American psychologist, this workbook blends contemporary psychology with ancient mind-body approaches to help you build resilience in the face of racism, overcome trauma and internalized oppression, reclaim your mental health, and celebrate your heritage. Using skills grounded in culturally informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and somatic practices from Asian cultures, you'll learn to create a healthy identity, balance your emotions, cultivate a growth mindset, and increase a feeling of connection with your community.

You'll also discover tools to help you:

• Manage negative thoughts and feelings
• Identify your values
• Build resilience in the face of stress
• Improve relationships
• Foster healing in your community

If you're in search of mental health and wellness tools that respect, understand, and honor your experiences and cultural values, let this workbook guide you on your journey to heal the pain of racial trauma, so you can practice empowerment, and reclaim the life you deserve.
