The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time

About The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time:

“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.

The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.

Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler The Dangerous Parallels Between Trump and Historical Dictators – A European’s Perspective by Geir Sivertsen

Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler The Dangerous Parallels Between Trump and Historical Dictators – A European’s Perspective by Geir Sivertsen

Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler is a detailed exploration by Geir Sivertsen, a Norwegian who has lived and worked around the world. The book captures his initial intrigue with Donald Trump’s direct approach to complex issues, such as his dealings with North Korea, and his subsequent realization of Trump’s potential dangers to democracy.
Sivertsen discusses Trump’s transition from a reality TV personality to a political figure with authoritarian traits. The book is rooted in facts, personal observations, and a deep analysis of Trump’s impact on American values and democratic structures. It examines his methods of leadership, his divisive tactics at rallies, and his heavy reliance on misinformation.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Sivertsen highlights the critical issues at stake: the economy, the weakening of the justice system, abortion rights, voting rights, immigration – and the looming “Project 2025.” He presents these as not just political choices but as decisions that will define the future of the country.
This work challenges readers to look past the daily grind and consider the broader effects of their electoral choices. Sivertsen encourages a factual approach to politics, urging Americans to make informed decisions based on reality—not propaganda. His book is not just a critique but a call to action, aiming to educate and inspire pro-active engagement in democracy.

The Rise of Jung in Me

About The Rise of Jung in Me:

The Rise of Jung in Me: A Transformational Journey

For over a decade, Dr Toula Gordillo grappled with a haunting question: “How can we help youth with their issues if we haven’t resolved our own?”

Managing only the most complex cases among six thousand students, and as a parent of three (then) teenagers, she witnessed profound suffering experienced by young people. This exposure triggered her own deeply buried issues of powerlessness, rejection and abandonment from her teenage years.

Finding modern cognitive methods inadequate for healing these deep-seated traumas, she became inspired by Dr Carl Jung’s concept of the ‘shadow self’. As a result of her research, she discovered that a holistic approach, based on ancestral wisdom, was necessary. Her quest to find the best healing practices for youth had evolved into a personal exploration of her adolescent shadow self.

Dr Toula began journaling in an attempt to put ‘the pieces of the puzzle’ together. What she now calls “the rise of Jung in me”, detailed in her scribbled notes, was later transformed into her recently-published second book with the same title. Here, she details the evolution of Story Image Therapy (SIT®) and its psychospiritual and philosophical adjunct, SIT Shadow Work™. This innovative method, grounded in Jungian psychology and Stoic/Taoist philosophy, has positively influenced the lives of thousands of youth and their adult caregivers across Australia, New Zealand, and India.

The Rise of Jung in Me unveils Dr Toula’s new, holistic teaching and counselling method that integrates the voices of young people and our own inner youth. Divided into three sections, the book details her Jungian action research method, addressing themes like:

• Carl Jung’s shadow self
• The wounded inner child/adolescent
• The power of youth voice
• The value of lived experience for healing

Through compelling storytelling and evocative black-and-white images, Dr Toula illustrates how she applied Jung’s teachings to heal her wounds and those of others. This true hero’s/heroine’s journey story features the latest research on youth psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. It also includes six transformative case studies of young people, and their adult carers, who benefited from Story Image Therapy’s practical application: SIT Shadow Work™.

Join Dr Toula on her extraordinary journey of self-discovery and learn how her innovative methods can bring healing and resilience to the next generation, their parents, caregivers, and ultimately, to you.

Why Didn’t I Die: A Memoir of PTSD by FRED KIRKPATRICK

About Featured Book: Why Didn’t I Die: A Memoir of PTSD by Fred Kirkpatrick

Do You Have Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD – “A Condition of persistent mental and mental stress occurring because of injury or severe psychological shock.” The effects of Post-traumatic stress disorder on someone’s life leaves almost nothing unchanged. The longer that PTSD exists without treatment, the greater the effects of PTSD on a person’s life.
I have struggled with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) nearly my whole life. It started in late 1967 and I’ve had many ups and downs over the years.
PTSD is the 6th most-rated disability among veterans. The VA PTSD ratings are: 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%. The most common rating for PTSD is 70%, but many are rated at 50%, 30%, and 10%. Having a 100% rating for PTSD is possible, but rare. The requirement for 100% is stringent: The veteran must provide evidence that their condition is so severe that their symptoms cause total occupational and social impairment that makes them unemployable:

1. Learn What the Symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Are
2. Talk to your Health Provider About Taking a PTSD Self Screen
3. Take the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 Questionnaire

“Killing Animals is a Precursor to Killing People – You’re A Walking Time Bomb Ready To EXPLODE.” – The Medical team giving an assessment of me during my lock-up.
The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 is now the gold standard for PTSD assessment in both veterans and civilians. In my day, it was your GAF score.
Loss of Interest, Emotional Detachment, Memory Problems, feeling different from others, drug abuse, alcoholism, bipolar disorder, hyper vigilance (severe anxiety, fear panic), violent behavior, rage and hate, flashbacks, nightmares, depression, anxiety attacks, paranoia (excessive or irrational suspiciousness of others), trouble sleeping (sleep apnea), feeling jumpy and easily startled, always on high alert, having trouble concentrating, relationship issues, a suicide attempt, and a ten-day commitment to a mental institution for killing animals.
This was my legacy for forty years as I suffered from something that was not defined until1980 as PTSD, a full twelve years after I left Vietnam.
The term PTSD is now associated with the legacy of the Vietnam War.

My non-fiction, US history book is about my service in Vietnam, my exposure to Agent Orange, and many decades of dealing with PTSD (Complex PTSD). This is my story of my struggles with many examples of my many issues since 1968. I hope my story helps families dealing with PTSD or Complex PTSD to know what PTSD is and help you heal and learn how to deal and cope with PTSD.
