      A step-by-step plan clinically proven to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic or as personal as having kids at home and fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone. We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic. But it's also what drives the addictive behaviors and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media). Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought. So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome. Dr. Brewer teaches us map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity, and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work. Distilling more than 20 years of research and hands-on work with thousands of patients, including Olympic athletes and coaches, and leaders in government and business, Dr. Brewer has created a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.

      The present volume is an alphabetically arranged lexicon of mythological terms of Baltic mythology. The terms are analyzed in their historical and ethnological context and in perspective of their etymology. They were preserved in numerous chronicles, usually written in non-Baltic languages, namely Latin, German, Old Russian, and Old Polish. Their second important source is hidden in Lithuanian and especially Latvian folk songs called 'dainas'. Portions of both primary texts and folklore are included within the individual entries. The recently formulated interpretations of Lithuanian and Latvian mythologists are also taken in account, to confront them with older opinions and with the results of etymological analysis. The proposed etymological explanations of the analyzed terms should serve to differentiate a common Indo-European heritage from the purely Baltic forms, and finally from external mutual interferences with Slavic, Iranian, Germanic and Fenno-Volgaic traditions.

      Kniha představuje přehledně uspořádanou syntézu mytologických jmen a předkřesťanských institucí baltských národů, jak je zachytili kronikáři, duchovní a lexikografové zejména v 16.–18. století a doplnili sběratelé litevských a lotyšských národních písní a pověstí z 18.–20. století. Abecedně řazená hesla přinášejí informace jak o primárních pramenech, tak o původu vlastních jmen i termínů mytologického obsahu. Ač se nedochovaly žádné texty z doby před přijetím křesťanství, zdokumentované fragmenty baltské mytologie ukazují na její mimořádné bohatství i silný vliv na jejich severní a severovýchodní sousedy hovořící ugrofinskými jazyky. Současně mnohá mytologická jména mají přímé či nepřímé paralely v jiných indoevropských tradicích, a tím prozrazují, že jde o společné indoevropské dědictví. Součástí knihy jsou i přílohy, které obsahují mj. chronologický přehled primárních pramenů a nejvýznamnější soupisy pruských božstev.
