She puts down the phone. The call lasted twelve minutes. Nothing happened—no cruelty, no accusation, nothing she could point to. And yet here she is, standing very still in her kitchen, feeling that slow, familiar deflation. Like something small and essential has been quietly let out of her. She doesn't have a name for what just happened. She only knows it happens every time. If you recognized yourself in that sentence, this book was written for you. Not for the daughters whose mothers were obviously cruel.

“Sam, could you do me a favor?” Thus begins a story that has now become part of America's true-crime hall of fame. It is a gory, grotesque tale befitting a Stephen King novel.

This is a gripping true crime narrative that reenacts the gruesome killings and the famous trial that shocked a nation.

What is it about killers, cults and cannibals that capture our imaginations even as they terrify and disturb us? How do we carefully consume these cases, and what can they teach us about what makes victims and their murderers our collective responsibility? Redhanded rejects the outdated narrative of killers as monsters and that a victim 'was just in the wrong place at the wrong time'. Instead, it dissects the stories of killers in a way that challenges perceptions and asks the hard questions about society, gender, poverty, culture and even our politics.

What Causes Narcissism? The world has been indoctrinated with the false notion that narcissism is the result of a bad childhood. It’s as if narcissists have been granted immunity from responsibility. Mental health professionals — and the general public alike - seem more than willing to offer narcissists a perfectly convenient scapegoat: trauma. The goal of this book, using the most recent empirical evidence on the etiology of narcissistic personality disorder — is to dispel the widely held and already discredited myth that narcissism is the result of childhood trauma.

A psychologist and expert in treating borderline personality disorder (BPD) offers an integrative approach to help listeners manage symptoms, gain greater self-control, and build a more confident self, using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and interpersonal therapy. This workbook meets the listener where they are in their therapeutic journey, and—rather than utilizing a one-size-fits-all method—provides insights and activities that address BPD as a collection of symptoms.

Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health.

They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized.
