  The Noonday Demon (eBook, ePUB)

  The Noonday Demon is Andrew Solomon's National Book Award-winning, bestselling, and transformative masterpiece on depression—"the book for a generation, elegantly written, meticulously researched, empathetic, and enlightening" (Time)—now with a major new chapter covering recently introduced and novel treatments, suicide and anti-depressants, pregnancy and depression, and much more. The Noonday Demon examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. Drawing on his own struggles with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, doctors and scientists, policy makers and politicians, drug designers, and philosophers, Andrew Solomon reveals the subtle complexities and sheer agony of the disease as well as the reasons for hope. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications and treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations—around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by biological explanations for mental illness. With uncommon humanity, candor, wit and erudition, award-winning author Solomon takes readers on a journey of incomparable range and resonance into the most pervasive of family secrets. His contribution to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition is truly stunning.

  Braving Sorrow Together: The Transformative Power of Faith and Community When Life Is Hard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min

  Little did I know at the time that I'd one day look back and remember it as the beginning of what I call our 'weeping years.' (Ashleigh Slater) We all have "weeping years", seasons where the trials seem to come one after another. For Ashleigh and her husband, their weeping years included miscarriage, multiple job losses, feelings of betrayal, panic attacks, anti-depressants, cross-country moves, and even suicidal thoughts. Loss is a constant of life, but the intensity of those years changed Ashleigh, altering how she understood and responded to grief. This book tells her story. Braving Sorrow Together: The Transformative Power of Faith and Community When Life is Hard explores loss and trial in a conversational, storytelling manner. It gently encourages those experiencing grief of any kind to seek comfort in God and in the "me too" of community. Ashleigh gives an honest and vulnerable account of her personal stories of loss, as well as those of her friends, with reflections from literature and Scripture sprinkled throughout. She examines the nature of grief and loss in several universal arenas, such as relationships, health, career, and the home. Anyone who ever struggles (and that's all of us) will be able to move through trial with more wisdom, releasing anxiety and receiving the help and comfort God so bountifully provides. Listeners of Braving Sorrow Together will be encouraged that they are not alone, inspired to reach out to close friends, and reminded that God - the Author of all of our stories - can be trusted through the tears. ungekürzt.

  The Phases of Harry Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min

  Harry Moon romps through time right into your heart in this baroque and bawdy, delicious and daring, sexy and sinful contemporary-historical novel.Journey from then to now with the Moon brothers: Nicki, who was born to be a gangster and loves activities such as breaking kneecaps; Stu, who adores women's clothing - so much so, in fact, that he wears dresses whenever possible; Stanley, who likes stimulants, depressants, and any other drug he can get hold of; and, finally, Harry, one of the greatest heroes since Don Quixote saw his first windmill.This perfectly paced blending of comedy and drama is a novel that reaches to the heart of life itself. Four eccentric brothers move toward four parallel fates that echo the destinies of four eccentric ancestors. On the way they encounter sexual blackmail, petty crime, political radicalism, space-age illness, and last but ever so much more than least, maturation and purpose - disguised and hard to recognize to be sure, but theirs all the same.The Phases of Harry Moon is violent and tender, inspired and earthy, and Harry himself is one of the most endearing, mad, and moving characters of fiction in the last decade. Harry Moon is a hero for everyone, and his world is our world - full of laughter and sighing and the bright if tenuous light of understanding."One is convinced that an outsize performer is trying his wings - a John Barth or a John Irving, with a touch of William Gaddis and maybe a dash of Kurt Vonnegut Jr." (The Chicago Tribune)"...a joy to read."

  Substance Abuse: Everything You Need to Know About Substance Abuse (Book 4) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min

  This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to recognize substance abuse and addiction. Drugs are classified as legal and illegal. Medicines, cigarettes, and alcohol are considered legal drugs. But excessive drinking and smoking by adults, and by teenagers, also poses a threat for long addiction. Medicines that are taken with or without proper prescription are detrimental as well. Illegal or prohibited drugs, like heroin and marijuana, are those that have intoxicating effects to the human body and usually produce negative behaviors when taken. The commonly abused substances include alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, heroin, steroids, inhalants, stimulants, depressants, club drugs, and prescription medications. Unfortunately, all of these drugs are being abused widely. We cannot discount the fact that substance abuse or addiction is among the most severe socioeconomic problems we are facing today. It is a persistent problem that needs to be addressed head on. Some negative consequences of addiction are school failure, poor judgment that may pose higher risks for accidents, violence, and unproductive work output, and in some instances, suicide. Substance abuse negatively affects not only the person involved but others around them as well. Domestic violence, child abuse, and failed marriages are the most common results. Schools and communities are also negatively impacted by drug addiction, as the quality of education deteriorates, and the crime and unemployment rate rises. As a result, the nation's economic status also suffers. Fortunately, we have various agencies and facilities that provide prevention, reduction, and treatment of illegal substance use. If you think you or someone you know have a drug abuse problem, the best thing to do is to contact the right resources to get help right away. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Trevor Clinger.
