Help! I Want To Give Up Smoking [Secure eReader]
by Claire Richardson
|
|
What this book aims to do is twofold. Firstly, it aims to help you explore the reasons why you smoke, because you are much more likely to be able to give up when you know exactly what it is you are leaving behind when you move into the ranks of the non-smokers. Secondly, it offers practical advice to help you along the path. Yes, it can be done. If you are determined enough you too will soon be entering the ranks of those who say, "No thanks, I don't smoke.? 2004

The Art of Fighting Without Fighting: Techniques in Personal Threat Evasion [Secure eReader]
by Geoff Thompson
|
|
During the fight or flight syndrome we experience what is known as 'mid brain' where we are not discernible from animals and our only concern is that of survival. Our instinct in mid brain then is 'to run' away as opposed to 'stand and fight'.

by Geoff Thompson
|
|
Have you ever heard the story of The Elephant and the Twig? In India they train obedience in young elephants (to stop them from escaping) by tying them to a huge immovable object, like a tree, when they are still very young. The tree is so large that no matter how hard the baby elephant pulls and tugs it cannot break free. This develops what is known as "learned helplessness" in the creature. After trying so hard and for so long to break the hold, only to be thwarted time and again, it eventuall... more info>> 2004
