Is your child is afraid of the dark? Does your child cry, whine, crawl into your bed at night, or refuse to go to bed? If so, Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch: Overcoming Fear of the Dark may be just the book to help turn nighttime fears and tears into nighttime fun! The artist has given the Third Edition a new look, with almost all of the more than 90 illustrations now in color! Previous versions of Uncle Lightfoot have been tested at four universities. Michael is afraid at night (e.g., darkness, monsters, noises, burglars, sleeping alone, nightmares). His friend, Jerome, calls him a "scaredy cat." Uncle Lightfoot, a modern-day Creek Indian, is a retired teacher who knows games that can help overcome fear. Michael's parents, his brother, Tim, a young blind neighbor, Elizabeth, and even the farm dog, Lady, are willing to help Michael play the games! During the process of overcoming his fear, Michael also learns to create shadow animals, track animals, ride a horse, calm a goat, and rescue the dog from a cereal box attack! The 88-page children's book contains short chapters (usually only three to five pages), more than 15 games or activities, and more than 90 playful, often humorous illustrations. Edition 3 represents a refinement of the earlier edition that received the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) 2013 Seal of Merit Award. It is a lively, beautifully illustrated, entertaining book to help children, ages 4 to 8, deal with nighttime fears through a fictional story woven around fun family games. A 14-page Parent Guidebook is included in the Appendix. Researchers in several studies have found clinically significant reduction in nighttime fears in children ages 4 to 8 who used earlier versions of the Uncle Lightfoot materials. Bedtime battles can exhaust fearful children AND their parents - and can interfere with a good night's sleep. Can overcoming nighttime fear be exciting and fun? Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch makes a convincing case that it can be.

We all want fulfilling and rewarding careers. But we often allow our fears to take hold and miss the best way to achieve our goals. We prioritise ourselves and our needs when we should make the problems we can solve for potential employers of clients the backbone of our job search. Adjusting our mindset is the essence of MIND FLIP, the must-read career manual for anyone looking to change jobs, win a promotion or salary increase, or simply find more fulfilling work. It covers all career stages from graduate to granddad, including Mum returners, the over-50s, women in business, those who need extra help because of disability, and the newly self-employed. It is the result of Zena Everett's many years of working in recruitment and career coaching, and provides you with everything you need to fire up your career. No wonder UK broadcaster Graham Norton said: 'Zena is an absolute star. She will transform the way you look at your career for ever.' Part one, Figure It Out, helps you to figure out the unique value you provide. Why should someone hire you, or use your services? The second part, Crack On, gives you practical tools and techniques to launch your job search, land a new job, win a promotion, or find the freelance work you really want. Part three, Just For You, offers specific help for freelancers, returners to the workplace, working Mums, over-50s, graduates or disabled job seekers. The final part, Fulfil It, helps you to keep going, shows you how to maintain your network and keep raising the bar on your aspirations so you achieve the ambitions you previously thought were out of reach or which sat below your radar. MIND FLIP even includes a chapter that helps you to cope and emerge with your reputation intact when things go astray -- such as finding yourself working for a narcissistic boss.

“One of the most provocative new books of the year, and, for me, mindblowing.” —Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind “Kripal makes many sympathetic points about the present spiritual state of America. . . . [He] continues to believe that spirituality and science should not contradict each other.” —New York Times Book Review “Kripal prompts us to reflect on our personal assumptions, as well as the shared assumptions that create and maintain our institutions. . . . [His] work will likely become more and more relevant to more and more areas of inquiry as the century unfolds. It may even open up a new space for Americans to reevaluate the personal and cultural narratives they have inherited, and to imagine alternative futures.” —Los Angeles Review of Books A “flip,” writes Jeffrey J. Kripal, is “a reversal of perspective,” “a new real,” often born of an extreme, life-changing experience. The Flip is Kripal’s ambitious, visionary program for unifying the sciences and the humanities to expand our minds, open our hearts, and negotiate a peaceful resolution to the culture wars. Combining accounts of rationalists’ spiritual awakenings and consciousness explorations by philosophers, neuroscientists, and mystics within a framework of the history of science and religion, Kripal compellingly signals a path to mending our fractured world. Jeffrey J. Kripal holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University and is the associate director of the Center for Theory and Research at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. He has previously taught at Harvard Divinity School and Westminster College and is the author of eight books, including The Flip. He lives in Houston, Texas.

THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PITCH ANYTHING IS BACK TO FLIP YOUR ENTIRE APPROACH TO PERSUASION. Is there anything worse than a high-pressure salesperson pushing you to say "yes" (then sign on the dotted line) before you're ready? If there's one lesson Oren Klaff has learned over decades of pitching, presenting, and closing long-shot, high-stakes deals, it's that people are sick of being marketed and sold to. Most of all, they hate being told what to think. The more you push them, the more they resist. What people love, however, is coming up with a great idea on their own, even if it's the idea you were guiding them to have all along. Often, the only way to get someone to sign is to make them feel like they're smarter than you. That's why Oren is throwing out the old playbook on persuasion. Instead, he'll show you a new approach that works on this simple insight: Everyone trusts their own ideas. If, rather than pushing your idea on your buyer, you can guide them to discover it on their own, they'll believe it, trust it, and get excited about it. Then they'll buy in and feel good about the chance to work with you. That might sound easier said than done, but Oren has taught thousands of people how to do it with a series of simple steps that anyone can follow in any situation. And as you'll see in this book, Oren has been in a lot of different situations. He'll show you how he got a billionaire to take him seriously, how he got a venture capital firm to cough up capital, and how he made a skeptical Swiss banker see him as an expert in banking. He'll even show you how to become so compelling that buyers are even more attracted to you than to your product. These days, it's not enough to make a great pitch. To get attention, create trust, and close the deal, you need to flip the script.

Flip!; From fear to love. Flipping the channel on dysfunctional thinking, cultivating confidence and living a life fueled with joy and purpose. Flip! was written for people who have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, or any kind of adverse life altering experience at some point in their lives. These experiences often result as a life of neutrality, avoidance of conflict, people pleasing, tolerating toxic behaviors and poor boundary setting. These individuals typically have low self-esteem and lack of worthiness who feel trapped in their relationships, jobs, and personal goals. Flip! explains the difference between the fear-based mindset and the love-based mindset. Each chapter touches upon a dynamic that the reader is invited to explore in their own life by using the definitions and vignettes that are provided. While Flip! is organized by chapter, it is not linear. Like reading a dictionary, the reader can find a topic and read up on their lunchbreak without feeling overwhelmed with the construct of consuming a "front to back" self-help experience. Flip! is beneficial to the reader because it is a steppingstone in making significant life changes. Many people who are in a "rut" in life may feel depressed and/or anxious daily. While there are many legitimate mental health conditions that require the interventions of a professional therapist, there are also changes that a person can make in their life that will mitigate some of the causes of these conditions. Flip! addresses these issues and provides the reader with a sense of validation in their quest to live a better, more fulfilling life. As a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Colorado, I specialize in trauma therapy and have a specialty in military trauma and childhood sexual trauma. I regularly provide needs assessments to my clients and referrals to therapists in the area where they serve. Many of my clients present with issues that can be resolved with affirmative life changes. It's just that many of them feel trapped and isolated in their desire to effect changes in their own lives. Flip! is a journey that incorporates my professional experience but also my own personal experiences in overcoming a traumatic childhood. I am a veteran of the US Air Force Security Forces and am also a former Army wife. I am a mother to two awesome kids. I gladly demonstrate my vulnerability in my narratives as a measure to connect with my audience and incorporate my personal stories throughout the chapters. I have personally experienced these battles and I've worked diligently over the years to learn ways to overcome, survive and thrive past them.

In Deconstructing Anxiety, Pressman provides a new and comprehensive understanding of fear's subtlest mechanisms. In this model, anxiety is understood as the wellspring at the source of all problems. Tapping into this source therefore holds the clues not only for escaping fear, but also for releasing the very causes of suffering, paving the way to a profound sense of peace and satisfaction in life. With strategically developed exercises, this book offers a unique, integrative approach to healing and growth, based on an understanding of how the psyche organizes itself around anxiety. It provides insights into the architecture of anxiety, introducing the dynamics of the “core fear” (one's fundamental interpretation of danger in the world) and “chief defense” (the primary strategy for protecting oneself from threat). The anxious personality is then built upon this foundation, creating a “three dimensional, multi-sensory hologram” within which one can feel trapped and helpless. Replete with processes that bring the theoretical background into technicolor, Deconstructing Anxiety provides a clear roadmap to resolving this human dilemma, paving the way to an ultimate and transcendent freedom. Therapists and laypeople alike will find this book essential in helping design a life of meaning, purpose and enduring fulfillment.
