The Shadows of Life are emotions; the thoughts, desires, and aspirations trailing in our wake. Shadow-like in manner but shrouded by our physical form, we often seek to reveal them only in the darkness—sometimes of the day but other times, of our lives.

Segregated into three sections, this book is a compilation of poems and prose, dealing with quotidian feelings such as love, longing, lamentation, and moreover, the spaces between them. The words in it will resonate with the reader’s own voice, rendering life to the untold stories carried within.

For in the matters of the heart, we are all one and the same.

The Impact of the Human Stress Response: The biological origins and solutions to human stress is a humanitarian work intended to educate the public world-wide about the true costs of preventable human stress.

It is priced so that people in most communities can access this information affordably. Millions of lives are lost and trillions of dollars are wasted every year because of our preventable exposure to modern stressors.

Mary Wingo examines one of science's burning issues - the epidemic of stress related diseases, disability, and early death currently ravaging the Western world. Preventable stress is devastating our health and destabilizing our communities.

But what exactly is "stress"? And what gives it the potential to cause so much damage? In a groundbreaking account twenty years in the making, researcher and biologist, Dr. Wingo explains the root causes of modern stress, and how it harms our bodies, as well as our communities.

• Understand the root causes of stress in life and learn how you can manage it effectively 
• Find out why the stress response is essential for helping you adapt to your environment 
• Protect your health - learn how to avoid over-loading your body's stress response 

Sharing astonishing insights into the way we cope with everything from excessive multitasking to social unrest, she tells a fascinating story of how humans alter their physical states and how our bodies literally open or close their biological borders with the environment to help us adapt in life. Using simple, everyday language, she vividly illustrates our current understanding of how the stress response works, and presents a how-to manual of science-based effective stress management. If you've ever wondered how you adapt to your environment and why constant exposure to stress is dangerous - this is a book you must read.

***Questions and Answers

** Q: What makes The Impact of the Human Stress Response different than the other self-help books on the market?
** A: The book is more than self help---it is also a scientific overview of the phenomenon of human adaptation. When we abuse these biological mechanisms, the problems we associate with stress appear.

** Q: Why did you decide to write a book on stress?
** A: The human and economic costs of stress caused by modern life is staggering and unsustainable. Millions of people every year die or are disabled needlessly by stress-related disease, while the economic losses in the trillions of dollars per year are crippling governments world wide. We need to reexamine how we do things, or else the costs of stress will be highly destabilizing to society.

** Q: What are the top stressors in the lives of the average reader?
** A: The top stressor for humans is relational stress----stress resulting from breakdowns in interactions with other people.

**Q: What is the goal of writing and publishing your book?
**A: I wanted to bring decades of fascinating and groundbreaking research in human stress into clarity for the average person. This is perhaps one of the most complicated fields in science, as it crosses so many disciplines. As a result, even many life scientists do not understand the adaptive stress response.

It took many years to find the words to describe the depth of this to the intelligent non-scientist. I then wanted to present science-based solutions that do not require money or advanced medical knowledge so that every community in every culture can benefit from these steps in this "how-to" guide. I wanted to empower intelligent non-scientists all over the planet.

**Q: What is the one thing that makes you unique in being an author in the self-help and science genres?
**A: I go into very mind-bending descriptions of how we understand the human stress responses---I then attempt to extract some wisdom from this giant scientific slush pile that people can use.

What do you hate spending money on? Hopefully not books with over 1000 questions designed to bring your team, tribe, or group closer together. Through years of asking questions to his own teams, author Jeffrey T. Cook discovered that questions—asked in a group setting—create an opportunity for the group to experience the answer of a teammate. Those shared stories, over time, lead to teams that bond like GLUE. Continued “question experiences” result in improved team cohesiveness, deeper understanding of their teammates, and a bonding shared over similar experiences.

Using GLUE as a metaphor, these questions are categorized in levels from very basic (What was your favorite childhood toy?) to very deep (Are there any relatives or siblings you no longer talk to?).

For decades, she hid her chronic depression from everyone, including herself, until hitting a crisis point.

In From the Shadows, she shares the questions she confronted, unearths her root causes, and presents a map out of the mire. Finally, she unlocks inner wealth by facing phantoms holding long forgotten keys to her past.

Joining in her journey, you may uncover a few treasures of your own.

Whirlpool of pain, despair I share
For your own gain, I bring you there.

Sucked me down, but will lift you up -
The gifts uncovered, when unstuck.

Maelstrom drew me time and again;
Me, myself, and I weren't as friend.

A shadow plagued my destiny,
Before sunlit divinity.

Hear my story,treasure I found,
As it unfolds, soul almost drowned.

Reveal my grief, the guilt, and shame,
Unwinding as I blend my name.

Listen as I share of rebirth -
Meaning and passion's soulful mirth.

Lure you in, then lighten your load;
A wealth inside worth more than gold.

Precious self-love and purpose too,
Join in this journey to renew.

Many people who read this book found it enjoyable, motivational and the practical tips very useful. A few citations from the reviews, will describe the best the uniqueness and value of this book:

I am so glad that I was able to read this one. The mind is such a powerful thing. The short stories keep you wanting to read more. Reading the author's own personal story put a lot in perspective for me.

It has given me different ways of thinking and I am sure I will be using this information for a long time to come.

I was inspired by his words. He has a unique way of writing and you feel like being in the middle of a conversation and not reading a book. That is a good thing. This is an excellent self-help book, very uplifting and reminds you to take a little of everyday to enjoy life.

This is a great book! Points you to the important things in life and gives you an easy step by step guide to easily make significant changes to your life and to increase your happiness. I read it from beginning to end over half of the night and just couldn't stop reading until I finished it. Warm heartedly recommended.

This book is just wonderful. Not only that it is both interesting and fun to read, it also makes you think: Can you live a happier life? The book is well written, easy to read, and so fluent, that I couldn't stop reading. I highly recommend reading this book. You will enjoy the reading, it will make you think, but above all, it will make you feel better. Highly recommended!

A must read book ! We all deserve to live happier life and Dr. Gilkis is providing excellent tips based on his life experience and great observations on how practically achieve this essential goal. The book is fluent , fun to read and his great tips are easy to adopt .highly recommended !

I really enjoyed this book. It was not a lengthy read, and it went relatively quickly once I started. It is not the easiest read at times, since it presents some very in depth information on the brain and how it works. I am fascinated with brain studies and the process of how things work, including the mechanics of the mind and its effect on our long term thinking and feelings. It is truly amazing to me how much of our behavior, beliefs, and more are influenced by our mind. And the author did a great job of explaining it to the reader.

I found the author’s personal story to be touching and I am impressed that he was able to overcome as much as he did. But on top of all of that, it was very inspiring to me to see how he took everything he learned and let it influence his entire life. He made a comment early in the book when telling his story about how he was always pushing himself to do more, achieve more, and succeed in everything and he neglected his personal health. It wasn’t until he was diagnosed with an advance stage of cancer that he rethought his entire life and his actions and thoughts changed. Talk about a testimony! And it is one of great power, truly amazing and inspiring to read.

This is a great self-help book for anyone needing to slow down and take some time to reflect on life and what is going on around them. So many of us live a life that is fast paced, hectic, and go go go, and we forget to stop and enjoy life and just be in the moment. We live in a fast-food mentality

"Of all the writers I know, I have learned the most about how to be a productive creative person from Mark. His tips are always realistic, accessible, and sticky. It's not just talk, this is productivity advice that will change your life."

Jocelyn K. Glei, author and Founding Editor, 99U

We are living in an age of unprecedented creative stimulation--via the internet, social media, all-pervasive technology, and an "always on" working culture.

Which means we are living in an age of unprecedented distraction from focused creative work--from all the same sources.
First, computers and the internet transformed the work we did at our desks. Then along came smartphones to transform our social lives and make our work mobile.

Now we have our work, our network, our media, and our social media with us wherever we go. Augmented Reality (AR) is layering more and more virtual elements over the physical world we inhabit, and Virtual Reality (VR) promises us escape to unlimited virtual worlds.

The pace of change is exciting, overwhelming, and unstoppable.

And creators are increasingly discovering a downside to the brave new world:

• countless distractions and interruptions 
• endless email 
• pressure to keep up 
• anxiety about falling behind 
• difficulty concentrating 
• aches and pains from too much time at the keyboard 

Dig a little deeper, and the biggest concern for many creatives is a nagging sense that their most important work is being left undone.

If you're excited by the opportunities of the creative age, but worried about the effect of all those interruptions and digital distractions on your creative work, Productivity for Creative People has been written for you.

For the past twenty years creative coach Mark McGuinness has helped hundreds of creatives like you to overcome these challenges.

A poet and creative entrepreneur, he is the author of Motivation for Creative People and Resilience: Facing Down Rejection and Criticism on the Road to Success. He is also a co-author of the bestselling books from 99U, Manage Your Day-to-Day and Maximize Your Potential.

Mark's latest book, Productivity for Creative People, is a collection of insights, tips, and techniques to help you carve out time for your most important work - while managing your other commitments. All the solutions he shares have been tested with real people in real situations.

You will learn:

• How getting organized can make you more creative 
• Why multitasking doesn't work 
• How to tell if you're really overloaded - and what to do about it 
• The importance of panicking early 
• How doing nothing can make you more productive 
• The crucial difference between incubation and procrastination 
• How to carve out time for your most important creative work 
• Why boredom is necessary for creativity 
• What to do about all that email 
• How to nap like a NASA pilot 
• A simple technique to reduce smartphone addiction 

Productivity for Creative People is the perfect guide to creating extraordinary work without (necessarily) disappearing to a cabin in the woods, or even giving up your smartphone.

"Many creative people are busier than ever, but rarely get around to the work that truly matters. Mark McGuinness offers solid and practical advice for busy creative people who want to make their mark on the world."

Todd Henry, author of The Accidental Creative

"Authors now have amazing online tools to reach readers all over the world, but those same tools can distract us from the focused creativity that we love and that we need to write better books. In Productivity for Creative People, Mark McGuinness outlines a way of working that will help you sort out what's really important and achieve your creative goals, while still managing your daily tasks. Recommended for any author who is feeling overwhelmed."

Meet eight combat-injured men who sustained life-altering injuries. Read eight inspiring stories of heroism and the re-building of independent, productive and fulfilling lives after seemingly impossible circumstances.

This project looks at the struggles of these incredible men to reshape their lives after combat. It also sets these stories within the context of current veteran healthcare; injury, suicide, and disability statistics; and looks briefly at the impacts on the caregivers who support these men. Being face-to-face with combat-injured veterans has given me an insight that all Americans should have. Veterans of the Vietnam era began the process of opening our eyes to the grim realities that await veterans both psychologically and physically. These men’s stories show how much more we have to accomplish.

This book isn't about war or politics - it is about figuring out what it takes to move forward AFTER the war. I wrote this book to raise awareness of what our warriors need most when they return, what the government does and doesn't provide and why there is a high demand for private non-profits to fill the gaps. Make no mistake - we are in this period of recovery and rehabilitation for decades to come. It also introduces the non-profit organization Warrior Foundation~Freedom Station which has taken on the task of helping our combat-injured men and women make the daunting transition from military to civilian life. 100% of the proceeds benefit them in this much-needed labor of love.

It's not about the war. It’s about the warrior.

A fascinating collection of life stories told by 30 authors from eight countries. They write of their attempts to move beyond crippling grief, free themselves of haunting memories, get out from under abusive relationships. They tell of their struggles – often painful, sometimes funny - to let go of everything from a fear of horses, to old family homes, and piles of books and papers.

“The question in the air is: Does the inability to let go of ideas, people, places and things sometimes drag one down? I believe readers will find answers to that question in the many thoughtful essays in this collection, which show us that freeing oneself by letting go is not only possible but often necessary for enjoying the fullness of life. Via their stories, these fine writers give us valuable food for thought on letting go or, for those still not convinced, permission to stop forcing oneself to try.” From the Introduction by M. E. Hughes, editor

God looks after the orphans

Happy childhood, horrors of war and miraculous rescue of the only child survivor from Obertyn.

Krystyna Carmi's childhood was full of happy moments in the family house. Her childhood was filled with friends, both Polish and Ukrainian girls, that played games with her. She attended a Ukrainian school, participated in school celebrations; she lived a normal, everyday life. In her memoire, published after many years of silence, Krystyna Carmi shows the history of her family and her life.

The book contains more than 100 pictures, taken by Krystyna’s father, a professional photographer, and sent it to their family in Israel before the war.

Krystyna was gifted with an amazing memory and as such was able to recall the atmosphere of those days, describing in details the appearance of a household; and if that wasn’t enough, Krystyna Carmi writes about something very rare, the smells she remembered from childhood. Walking with her on the streets of pre-war Obertyn, we get to know the Jews, the Ukrainians, and the Poles and the social and material conditions of their lives, as well as their names and surnames. Krystyna Carmi paints a psychological portrait of these people; she writes about how they dressed, what they ate, what their attitude towards others was, and above all, towards God. She writes about things seemingly trivial, however when looking back, they are incredibly significant.

But the happy childhood did not last long. The first days of war brought overall fear and panic, the entrance of Red Army soldiers to Obertyn, the arrest of Polish patriots, liquidation of Jewish shops, the gradual growth into a more difficult reality of occupation, the Hungarian army in Obertyn, Jews murdered by Ukrainians in the local towns, incredible photos of the members of the Jewish community, drowning in the Dniester by Ukrainians.

However, the worst was still ahead of the Jewish community in Obertyn and her family. First, the Germans, then the Kołomyja ghetto. She was with her parents as well as her maternal and paternal grandfathers. The life conditions in which Obertyn Jews had to live are described in the poem Molasa ”" Ghetto Sweets; she shows in a fictile, detailed way, psychophysical suffering caused by hunger.

People died in the ghetto because of hunger and physical exhaustion; their bodies were collected on a platform. These deaths do not escape the attention of a sensitive and suffering girl, who years later will write a poem with the title In Remembrance of Innocently Suffering People of Different Ages and Sexes from Kołomyja Ghetto; a picture of the platform will stay in her memory forever. "The open mouth and eyes of these human corpses have been hunting me all my life."

Then she returned from the ghetto with her parents, and escaped from Obertyn, following by her sisters’ death, which she described in a very suggestive way in her poems: Black Kamionka Forest. Part I Testimony and Black Kamionka Forest. Part II Curse). Her parents’ death, hiding, hunger, thirst, fear for life, then indifference as time goes by because life is hard. It would be easier to part with the world, but The Strange Ways of Providence in her Life has chosen for her to live, to be. This is how you could present in short, the content of Krystyna Carmi’s memoire.

The memoire are interspersed with the cover of Doctor Markus Willbach, a friend of the Sorger family to emphasize the authenticity of Krystyna Carmi’s (maiden name: Sorger) memories as the images, situations, and events witnessed by her as a little girl coincide with Doctor Willbach’s account, an adult at that time.

The true stories of two soldiers. Though they are separated by almost 100 years, the similarities in their experiences are striking.

When Derrick Wolf left the U.S. for Vietnam in 1970 on January 6th, the day of Epiphany, little did he realize what a prophetic day it would turn out to be for him. Boys for Men is a journal of his tour of duty. Wolf tells of the grim daily routine of a tank crew near the De-militarized Zone just south of North Vietnam. From the near constant rain during monsoon to the unbearable high temperatures and humidity of the dry season, life becomes a series of long periods of boredom and hardship interrupted abruptly by deadly situations.

Combined with Wolf’s stories are excerpts of the previously unpublished 1876 journal of Sylvester Waltz, an infantryman during the Great Sioux War. Waltz was a member of the Yellowstone Expedition, which culminated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn where General George Armstrong Custer was killed and his forces defeated.
