Hello everyone! We have had some sunny days of varying temperatures but sunny days in any case. What a change to one's inner vibe sunlight can be. Even if your only option is to notice it through a bookstore window. Speaking for a friend of course.

March is always a busy month and we would like thank all those agencies and schoolboards that have been placing orders with us. It is obviously an essential part of our business but our gratitude for these, and all orders, is strongest when rooted in its emotional origins. The fast pace has lead to some delays in correspondence and a wobbly delivery here and there. The patience of everyone who comes our way is wonderful and noticed with appreciation. The store believes in itself and we are all lucky to be in its employ; not to mention being eternally thankful for shelter of our own once we finish for the day. The world is never what it used to be so . . . .onward, for better.
This book continues the ideas set forth in It’s Attachment, A New Way of Understanding Yourself and Your Relationships. The last chapter in the book focused on how one’s adult attachment influences his/her parenting of children. This book will expand on the topic, exploring the 4 categories of adult attachment and how each category influences one’s parenting. The book will help a parent determine his or her Adult Attachment, understand the challenges for parenting based on their particular attachment and then offer guidelines on how to change parenting patterns, again based on the category of attachment of the parent.

From fake news to conspiracy theories, from pandemics to politics, misinformation may be the defining problem of our era. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds—altering our beliefs and replicating at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, our primary strategies of fact-checking and debunking are an ineffective cure.

When Colin Campbell’s two teenage children were killed by a drunk driver, he was thrown headlong into a grief so deep he felt he might lose his mind. As he began to process his grief, he realized that much of the common wisdom about coping with loss was unhelpful—that it is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that there “are no words.” Campbell draws on what he learned from his own journey to offer readers an alternate path for processing their pain that is active and vocal, and truly honors the loved ones they have lost.

This is a guide to coping with a wide variety of mental unwellness, from the very mild to the severe. It explains how and why we become mentally ill, how we can explain our experiences to friends and family, and how we can reframe our view of ourselves and our future in order to thrive.
With a humane, encouraging tone, the book teaches us to dismantle stigmas around mental health, arguing that no one should suffer alone. By normalizing mental illness and seeking out shared experiences and supportive friendships, we feel less alone on our journeys. [More. . .]
This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control.
Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. [More. . .]
Grief happens to everyone. Universal and enveloping, grief cannot be ignored or denied.
This original new book by psychologist Dorothy P. Holinger uses humanistic and physiological approaches to describe grief’s impact on the bereaved. Taking examples from literature, music, poetry, paleoarchaeology, personal experience, memoirs, and patient narratives, Holinger describes what happens in the brain, the heart, and the body of the bereaved.
