    • WISDOM FROM THE WOMEN HEALERS OF THE PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience. Any reader interested in inspiration, healing, and enlightenment will find here a wonder-filled narrative packed with provocative and perhaps life-changing insight.

      When National Geographic Adventure published an article in 2006 about the powerful antidepressant effects of ayahuasca, the piece received a phenomenal reader response. That article struck a chord with psychotherapist Rachel Harris, who had encountered many clients unresponsive to traditional therapy and antidepressant protocols. Used for more than 8,000 years in the Amazon rainforest, ayahuasca is a powerful, and illegal, psychedelic that has distressing gastrointestinal side effects. Yet Harris found many willing to try it, so deep was their suffering. Harris here shares her original research (the largest study of ayahuasca use in North America) into its effects on depression, anxiety, and PTSD, along with her own personal experiences. By detailing ayahuasca's risks and benefits, she aims to help those driven to investigate ayahuasca to do so safely and to give their psychological caregivers a template for transformative caring and healing.

      Cat Crawfordová chce byť normálna – teda aspoň natoľko normálna, ako môže byť niekto z Hollywoodu. Zdá sa, že osud jej prianie naplní: má úžasného priateľa Lorenza, skvelú sesternicu Alessandru, ktorá s ňou býva, a otca, čo sa plánuje po druhý raz oženiť, tentoraz však s fantastickou budúcou nevlastnou mamou. Všetko vyzerá idylicky až do chvíle, keď sa jej hýrivá matka neobjaví v televízii s tým, že chce svojej dcére povedať niečo dôležité... a v médiách, ako inak, vypukne šialenstvo. Lorenzo Cappelli vie, že jeho osud je vo hviezdach zapísaný po boku Cat, a preto sa zo všetkých síl snažil, aby ju získal. Lorenzo má však, nanešťastie, svoje vlastné problémy, s ktorými bude musieť zápasiť. Keď sa odhalia tajomstvá, objavia sa klebety a svet všetko sleduje, Cat s Lorenzom si uvedomia, že ak chcú zostať spolu, nečaká ich len boj s osudom... tentoraz však ide skôr o boj s ich vlastnou neistotou. A ešte aj o tých, čo sú im stále v pätách...

    • The timeless New York Times bestselling guide to parenting that shows the power of inspiring values through example. A unique handbook to raising children with a compassionate, steady hand—and to giving them the support and confidence they need to thrive. Expanding on her universally loved poem “Children Learn What They Live,” Dorothy Law Nolte, with psychotherapist Rachel Harris, reveals how parenting by example—by showing, not just telling—instills positive, true values in children that they will carry with them throughout their lives. Addressing issues of security, self-worth, tolerance, honesty, fear, respect, fairness, patience, and more, this book of rare common sense will help a new generation of parents find their own parenting wisdom—and draw out their child’s immense inner resources. If children live with criticism they learn to condemn. If children live with sharing, they learn generosity. If children live with acceptance, they learn to love. And more wisdom.
