Personality and Character
$19.95
Author: John M. Berecz - Personality and Character of George W. Bush and Past Presidents Using analytical skills honed to a sharp edge with years of psychotherapy experience. John Bereez explores such contemporary issues as “Was Nixon a wife beater?” Is Dubai smart enough to be president? “ Is Gore too uptight to lead the free world?'” “Did the 2000 election boil down to a choice between personality and competence?” Skillfully, Bereez explores the relationship between character and personality, helping the reader to understand how a man with the moral integrity of Jimmy Carter could bungle the presidency and a man like Clinton, with so little character, could manage it so successfully. Drawing on three decades of teaching and therapy, Bereez burrows beneath the surface of personally and character to reveal the real person working in the oval office. With penetrating insight and concise writing, the author acquiesces the reader with the real people behind the pageantry of the presidency. This book clearly disentangles the contradictions of Bill Clinton's presidency by examining his split personality. Bereez explains and clinically documents Clinton's dual personality a sociopaths personality (Slick Willy) and a codependent personality (Baptist Billy). Resulting from Clinton's two-world childhood, these personalities are only loosing connected and operate serially to control his behavior. Like many adult children of alcoholics (ACA), Clinton seeks-by turn-to please or to manipulate. Baptist Billy told voters “I feel your pain” and he did, but Slick Willy said he “didn't inhale” and didn't have sex with “that woman” Character in Chief is must reading for anyone interested in politics in general and the presidency in particular. With fairness and compassion Bereez will lead you to a deeper understanding of our great democracy and the people who lead it.

Comforting Food
$18.95
Author: Judith Olney - COMFORTING FOODS, then, as its title suggests, is about those diverse, mature, multi rooted foods; those earnest, amiable, cozy foods that promote an extraordinary scene of well being both in the cook for having provided them, and in the consumer having eaten them. There is a certain characteristic flow to the dish in this book, a recognized selectivity in their choice. (As I was in the Summer Food, so I am here interested in a certain type and style of food, a certain psychology inherent in the dishes themselves that, when they are taken as a whole, bespeaks a small philosophy).

YOU CAN'T TRUST YOUR OWN MIND
$18.95
In the cycles of the great season of creativity, we are sometimes given a rare and precious gift. The season, that gift is You Can't Trust Your Own Mind, by David French PhD., a book about how to excavate your deep, true identity and stop the fear and alienation automatically and reactively imposed by the mind. Inspired by discipline, experience, understanding, and compassion, his words embrace a deeper truth with the reader and lead to common ground where we can all see what is real and what is not: “myself and the machine”, “your self and the machine”. With his self-disclosing style, he shows us how to find emotional shelter when we are injured: how to be truthful when we want to lie; how to build trust when we feel alone, and misunderstood. He helps us discover triggers that alarm the machine and cause swift destructive actions. He finds the power concealed within our own vulnerability, and gives us the courage to own our own pain. He gives us tools for more satisfying relationships, hope for self fulfillment, and permission to be who we are without games, fears, and self-sabotaging rituals of the ancient reactive “machine”. He shows each of us how to accept the “machine” that vigilantly and perpetually serves us with a singular directive: to monitor, protect, and destroy all perceived threats, before the deep sacred self is even aware of them. Through Dr. French's Personal balance Therapy, he brings together all the parts of what makes each one of us unique, and sets the reader on the path of wholeness. D.C. Hadden, PsyD., Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. French is one of the greatest masters of metaphor. In “ You Can't Trust Your Own Mind” he makes some of his great metaphors available to the reader. I frequently refer to his metaphors top help my patients understand the psychological problems they face. This is a great book that will help the reader understand him/herself and the relationship issues the arise in daily life. Mark A. Schnose, PhD, Licenses Clinical Psychologist This book can save ones sanity, relationships, maybe even one's life. Patients of mine commonly arrive in a state of despair and depression, losing all hope, faith, trust and love. Readers may be skeptical to try yet another book top better understand the hurt within, but believe this book will open one's eyes and direct one to experiencing inner piece. To be able to see the pasterns of our actions that lead us to heartache and frustration is eye opening and allows the reader to understand the “automatic self”. Dr. French teaches that by modifying and reeducating the “Machine” that allows us to achieve a balance with our “real self.”The descriptions were right on target. The reader will find this book encouraging even those that may feel that they are too far gone to be helped .many readers will find themselves turning back to this book again and again when they are in need of a “reality check.”They will find healing in the pages within. James S. Pratty, M.D. Psychiatrist Medical Director,Azimuth Mental Health Associates What I love about Dr. French and his book is how REAL. He understands so many dimensions to a real person's life and assist us all in understanding One's MACHINE. This book is great for all health workers , educators,rehabilitation staff and individuals addressing their OWN issues. His spirituality and sensitivity is GREAT. Richard L Rosenberg,PhD. Lead vocational coordinator,Whittier Union High School District.

Their training stables and home are in Epsom, England, a delightful and picturesque area.

The gift had one condition, he asked them to chaperone his adored niece Pricilla who would be working as a temp school teacher in Agadir. So the Harrows and Pricilla were all staying at the same hotel. Happy quickly discovered that chaperoning the young and provocative Priscilla was not easy. She was constantly picking up men off the street and invited them to come to her room either early in the evening or after midnight. The hotel recently developed a sinister reputation that appeared in the media after a teenage girl had been murdered there. The murder was attributed to a vampire because the girl had two holes on her throat that resembled pointed teeth marks. After Happy and her family’s first night in the hotel another teenage girl is murdered and has identical marks on her throat. With Agnes Murray, another hotel guest, Happy and Rick take Pricilla to another town, Essaouira; famous as a resort for surfers. There they meet Agnes’ son, surfer Keith Murray, who has sharp-pointed canine teeth. After one look, Pricilla lusts to have sex with Keith. But is he a vampire? He often visits his mother at night. More vampire-style deaths follow at the doomed hotel. The media has created frenzy that does not let up.
