The near-death experience (NDE) is not a new phenomena. Individuals have been experiencing what it's like to die and come back to life even before Christ resurrected Lazarus and Christ himself. The prospect of immortality has fueled human fancy since the dawn of time, and has found various expressions in the worlds of religion, art, mythology, philosophy, and folklore.  

An excellent narrative is remembered by everyone. Regardless of the subject matter, good tales seem to stick with us, whether we hear them on the radio, read about them in the newspaper, or watch them unfold on live television. When recounted by a great storyteller, a good story can be quite compelling. Effective storytellers can captivate their audience, guide them in whichever direction they need to go, and leave listeners/readers with new information to absorb and a value to carry with them for the rest of their lives.

The immune system, neurological system, neurotransmitters, and hormones constantly communicate between the gut and the brain. Alterations in the gut, particularly the gut microbiome, can alter the brain, resulting in behavioral and cognitive changes. A healthy and diversified microbiome acquired by a high fiber diet or probiotic or prebiotic therapy has been linked to cognitive gains.

Throughout history, violence against children has taken every possible form (physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, neglect, and child labor), at times adopting quite strange shapes. Child abuse and neglect do not often have visible warning signals. However, by learning to spot the indicators of a problem, you can make a significant impact on a child's life. Child abuse is more than simply black eyes. While physical abuse is horrifying because of its scars, not all indications of child abuse are as visible.

Infant sleep is perplexing and unpredictable, despite its obvious importance. Caregivers frequently express concerns about adjusting to sleep deprivation and persistent sleep variations. Most parents find night waking a very disruptive and depressing pattern of behavior that frequently leads them to seek professional advice or turn to a self-help book or friends for help. Sleep is obviously important, since it aids in infant growth and development, affects caregivers' overall performance and mental well-being, and affects how new parents view, react to, and interact with their babies.

Gratitude has long been recognized as a desirable attribute that can improve one's well-being, from ancient religious texts to modern scientific evidence-based study. According to the evidence, the advantages of gratitude practice can be grouped into the following categories: increased happiness and life satisfaction; successful dealing with hardship; strengthened social relationships; improved health; and broadening civic, moral, and spiritual dimensions. However, gratitude is not an innate response to life conditions. It must be nurtured through gratitude-inducing activities.

Over a million of the Auschwitz dead were Jews, and more than half of them were women. The Auschwitz concentration camp was one of the most horrific places ever conceived of by man, a place of constant torture. The experience was uniquely terrible for women. This book examines 11 memoirs authored by female Jewish Auschwitz survivors to show how complex their experiences in the camp were. Sixty years after their liberation, these women's experiences in Auschwitz live on through their memoirs, even if the authors have long perished.

For good reason, the era we live in is dubbed the "Information Age". Finance has witnessed the birth of a new way of thinking about financial decision making that takes into consideration the investor's psychology - heuristics, biases, emotions, fears, and fallacies - to make sense of investor decision making. Behavioral finance is a relatively recent area that enters the debate as an alternative method to working with emotion and decision-making defects to understand how they inhibit us from reaching optimal outcomes in investing.

Inside today's classroom, life has undoubtedly changed. What was once a calm, productive classroom has devolved into a chaotic, disrespectful environment. This provides a bleak image of the educational system in the United States. Is there any chance of a successful transition? Can we have a proud, effective classroom once more? Yes, both of these questions are correct. Many new and innovative classroom management systems are now available to aid teachers in developing an efficient and simple classroom management system.

It's difficult for most of us to envision somebody injuring a child. Child abuse and neglect are absolutely real, as unpleasant as they can be. In the United States, more than 600,000 children are abused or neglected each year. Physical and psychological integrity and protection from all types of violence are guaranteed to all persons under the age of 18. Nonetheless, we know that children and adolescents are subjected to violence in the home, at school, in legal and child protection systems, at work, and in the community for various social and cultural reasons.

This book discusses the types, predictors, and impacts of marital infidelity on other family members, among other issues, and identifies strategies for alleviating the stresses associated with the aftermath.

We all have a natural emotional healing process, just as we do a natural physical healing process within us. When we get a wound, our body's natural healing process takes care of it. When emotionally painful events occur in our lives, we usually manage to overcome them and move on with our lives. On the other hand, a cut does not always heal until it has been cleaned and an antibiotic has been applied. 

We live our lives in numerous ways because of our crucial relationships. Our interactions shape who we are and define who we are; they become inextricably linked to our sense of self (or self-concept) and therefore become a living part of us.

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disorder that involves intricate connections between brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and a person's life experiences. Addicts utilize substances or participate in obsessive behaviors, which they frequently continue despite negative consequences. Many, but not all, people begin using drugs or engaging in an activity voluntarily. Addiction, on the other hand, can take over and impair self-control. People suffering from addiction lose control over their activities.

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disease) is a common emotional and behavioral disorder that can disrupt a child's academic and social functioning. The most unpleasant element of ADHD-related deficits is not being accepted by one's peer group, feeling separated, strange, unlikeable, and alone, and these experiences have long-term consequences. It's crucial to maintain positive relationships with people. Though children with ADHD really want to make friends and be accepted by their peers, they frequently lack the skills to do so.

Shame is a powerful self-conscious emotion that arises from being perceived as imperfect, inferior, insufficient, or weak. External shame is a socially contextualized feeling defined as the uneasy belief that others see one's own inner self and exterior physical traits as undesirable, leading to others ignoring, criticizing, or rejecting one. The image we have of our bodies impacts how we feel our bodies in daily life. Shame is a health and wellness issue and a community and family issue that is both deeply personal and publicly political.

Hypnosis is an entirely natural state that provides direct access to the subconscious mind, home to our learned behavior and pattern-making mechanisms. Therefore, we can use hypnosis to avoid what would otherwise require a lengthy or tortuous relearning procedure in our fully conscious state. There is no physical intrusion; it is merely a self-inflicted shift in mental consciousness.

We live and work in a multicultural world, one in which we are called upon to cooperate. Decisiveness and the improvement of emphatic connections in associations are methods of cooperating. Wherein upsides of receptiveness, trustworthiness, trust, and regard are survived by how we speak and work with one another. Our ability to work with our disparities, recognize as opposed to denying them, challenge and back one another, comprehend our differences, and track down our likenesses, is the way for authoritative and business achievement.
