Norman Farb & Zindel Segal Better In Every Sense
How the New Science of Sensation Can Help You Reclaim Your Life Break out of negative patterns, relieve anxiety, build new habits, and find fresh motivation by using the groundbreaking "sense foraging" technique How do you make a change in your life when the tools you used to rely on start letting you down? We often think we need to "tough it out" or "try harder." But doing that makes our brains double down on the patterns that got us stuck in the first place. Neuroscientist Norman Farb and clinical psychologist Zindel Segal explain that the brain has two networks-the rapid problem-solving (habit) network and the sensory network, which is devoted to fresh insight. By tuning into sensations-from the feeling of our feet on a crowded street to the sound of birdsong in the park-we can engage the sensory network. When we're stressed or stuck, we can use "sense foraging" to boost our resilience, well-being, health, and creativity wherever we are. Grounded in scientific research and filled with simple exercises and practical mental techniques, this book explores the power of sensory experiences to liberate us from ruts and dead ends-and handle all of life's challenges.

Anne Katherine Boundaries
Where You End And I Begin Some boundaries are obvious, such as the physical space surrounding you. You are affected when this boundary is crossed--if you are shoved, or kissed; if you are touched suggestively, if a stranger simply stands too close. Some boundaries are harder to see, but they are just as important, and affect you just as much--emotional boundaries. Boundaries can bring order to your life, strengthen your relationships with yourself and others, and are essential to your mental and physical health. Real-life stories throughout the book illustrate the ill effects of not setting limits, and the benefits of protecting your own personal boundaries and respecting those of others.
