Title: The Bright Side: How Optimists Change the World, and How You Can Be One Author: Sumit Paul-Choudhury Narrator: Sumit Paul-Choudhury Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 43 minutes Release date: January 7, 2025 Genres: Mental Health & Psychology Publisher's Summary: In the thought-provoking tradition of Steven Pinker’s Enlightenment Now and Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus, a fascinating and reassuring look at the philosophy, psychology, and practice of optimism, and why being optimistic is a moral obligation—even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Scrolling through our daily newsfeeds we see violence and cruelty, turmoil and injustice, fake news and clickbait, and worsening environmental and social crises—just a few of the dark currents feeding a tidal wave of pessimism. In the face of so many challenges, how can we stay optimistic? And, more important, why should we? In The Bright Side, Sumit Paul-Choudhury answers these pressing questions, arguing that optimism is not only essential for overcoming the challenges we face, but also fundamental to human wellbeing. Drawing on a wide array of evidence—from biology to history, and from economics to meteorology—he delves into the underappreciated roots of optimism, examines its impact on mental health and professional success, and discusses why it has a power that wishful thinking lacks. Additionally, The Bright Side shows how we can apply the principles of optimism to cope with environmental crises, artificial intelligence, and social change. From the polar reaches to the world’s mightiest cities, through inspirational figures including explorers, activists, and scientists, the book illustrates optimism in action. A beacon amid dark times, The Bright Side provides a lens through which we can see the challenges we face more clearly—and it also offers tools for solving them, to create a better future for ourselves and generations to come.

The workbook opens by inviting the therapist to explore their own Internal System, offering an embodied approach to experiencing the model. Chapter 1 explores and explains foundational concepts like somatics, embodiment, Parts, Self, and the cultural influences that shape and shift our embodied experiences. Chapters 2–6 move into theoretical grounding, clinical applications, and practical exercises for each of the five practices. They offer tools to: - Develop clients' ability to name, describe, and convey sensations - Recognize and track for signs of overwhelm - Work with Parts that fear body awareness - Understand the purpose and clinical benefits of conscious breathing - Restore the Embodied Self  - Explore therapeutic shifts from doing to to being with clients - Heal attachment wounds - Integrate mindful movement into healing developmental trauma - Understand and practice attuned touch Each practice is designed to be used whenever it will be of benefit: the tools and exercises are non-linear and adaptable, and aren’t limited by a prescriptive sequence. The workbook also explores links between current psychotherapeutic practice and ancient healing modalities, grounding SIFS in a larger web of effective somatic trauma healing and embodiment approaches.

Embody: Feel, Heal, and Transform Your Life Through Movement by Toni Bergins

Title: Embody: Feel, Heal, and Transform Your Life Through Movement Author: Toni Bergins Narrator: Toni Bergins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 48 minutes Release date: December 17, 2024 Genres: Mental Health & Psychology Publisher's Summary: A new paradigm for embodied healing in a unique, experiential, therapeutic process in which expressive movement, guided imagery, ritual, music, and creative expression work together.   In Embody, Toni Bergins, the founder and creator of JourneyDance, an internationally renowned dance movement program, shares with readers a powerful way to address trauma mindfully so people can confront it, heal, and grow to love themselves unconditionally, just as they are. Embody is a dynamic, conscious practice that can help people release what no longer serves them and shows them how to stop stuffing/numbing the pain and start feeling, stop over-thinking/limiting, and get moving!   Embodiment is the new buzzword in personal transformation, but, most often, it is connected to static practices like breathwork and meditation. For Toni Bergins, embodiment is best achieved through active movement, and has created a practice where people literally get out of their heads and into their bodies! Her program is a trauma-informed one that offers a new promise: leading readers through deep, personal work but making it feel like play. In this book, she turns the heaviness of processing pain and past trauma into an expressive art aligned with the most recent research. Specifically, trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk, writes in his bestselling The Body Keeps the Score, “In order to overcome trauma, people need to feel safe enough to open their hearts and minds to others and become engaged with new possibilities. This can be done if trauma survivors are helped to confront and confess the reality of what has happened and are helped to feel safe again. In many cultures this involves communal rhythmical activities, such as dancing …” And that is Toni Bergins’ mission and method: to help readers move into a new story for their lives.   Embody features Toni’s prescription for a comprehensive healing journey, comprised of five core elements:   • Music, to open the doorways of impulse, imagination, creativity and healing to change mood and awareness;   • Movement, to enhance presence and confidence, and release old patterns and traumas;   • Mystical Inquiry, where imagery and creative visualization exercises are used to guide readers into an alchemic and shamanic state to investigate past hurts, and learn to trust their instincts;   • Prayers and Invocations, to raise energetic vibrations to a positive place with powerful affirmations; and   • Journaling, with writing prompts to process inner self-awareness learned on the dance floor or through any of the other Embody elements.   This enhanced audiobook features original music by the author and includes a supplemental PDF.

On the twentieth anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking work, this third edition of Emerging Adulthood fully updates and expands Arnett's findings and adds a new chapter on cultural and international variations. Merging stories from the lives of diverse emerging adults with decades of research, Arnett covers a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, experiences at college and work, and views of what it means to be an adult.
