Do you ever cry for a long time?Can’t stand to keep having to take antidepressants or tranquilisers anymore?

One out of three patients who often go to primary care physician would have depression. Millions of people regularly take antidepressants. Being labelled as depressed is not a cure. It could even demoralise you and give you a longer bitter suffering.

We are now used to see negative emotions as disorders or diseases. Our modern therapeutic culture has gone too far in labelling people for their anxieties – such labels make them feel mentally abnormal and unable to help themselves.With my studies and by all my experience, I realised that the secret is developing resilience in adversity; dealing with problems and being deeply changed by such experiences.

I realised that our current way to approach depression and despair often makes things even worse than what they are.We live in an overprotective society, which believes the way to help weak and vulnerable people is to assist them as kids and to prevent their bad experiences.With these habits, you will have a clear view on how you can best guide your community and give priority to what is most important to achieve your goals.

This is it what you will learn in “Overcoming Depression”, which is part of the “Emotional Intelligence” series.

Book: The Mind-Gut Connection

Book Title:

The Mind-Gut Connection – How the Hidden Conversation Within Our Bodies Impacts Our Mood, Our Choices, and Our Overall Health.

Author(s): Emeran Mayer (MD).

Year: 2016.

Edition: First.

Publisher: HarperWave.

Type(s): Hardcover and Kindle.

Synopsis:

Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of The Second Brain, and The Good Gut that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between mind and the digestive system.

We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut – the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling we get when we are stressed out.

While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognised by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has by and large failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the gut microbiota – the microorganisms that live inside our digestive tract – communicate with one another.

In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, professor of medicine and executive director of the UCLA Centre for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary and provocative look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health and listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies.

Book: Food and Addiction – A Comprehensive Handbook

Published on 03/04/2020 by Andrew MarshallLeave a comment

Book Title:

Food and Addiction – A Comprehensive Handbook.

Author(s): Kelly D. Brownell and Mark S. Gold (Editors).

Year: 2014.

Edition: First.

Publisher: Oxford University Press.

Type(s): Hardcover, Paperback and Kindle.

Synopsis:

Can certain foods hijack the brain in ways similar to drugs and alcohol, and is this effect sufficiently strong to contribute to major diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and hence constitute a public health menace?

Terms like “chocoholic” and “food addict” are part of popular lore, some popular diet books discuss the concept of addiction, and there are food addiction programmes with names like Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous.

Clinicians who work with patients often hear the language of addiction when individuals speak of irresistible cravings, withdrawal symptoms when starting a diet, and increasing intake of palatable foods over time.

But what does science show, and how strong is the evidence that food and addiction is a real and important phenomenon?

Food and Addiction: A Comprehensive Handbook brings scientific order to the issue of food and addiction, spanning multiple disciplines to create the foundation for what is a rapidly advancing field and to highlight needed advances in science and public policy.

The book assembles leading scientists and policy makers from fields such as nutrition, addiction, psychology, epidemiology, and public health to explore and analyse the scientific evidence for the addictive properties of food.

It provides complete and comprehensive coverage of all subjects pertinent to food and addiction, from basic background information on topics such as food intake, metabolism, and environmental risk factors for obesity, to diagnostic criteria for food addiction, the evolutionary and developmental bases of eating addictions, and behavioural and pharmacologic interventions, to the clinical, public health, and legal and policy implications of recognising the validity of food addiction.

Each chapter reviews the available science and notes needed scientific advances in the field.

Book: Flow – The Psychology of Happiness

Book Title:

Flow – The Psychology of Happiness.

Author(s): Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Year: 2013.

Edition: New Edition.

Publisher: Ebury Digital.

Type(s): Paperback and Kindle.

Synopsis:

For more than two decades Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi studied those states in which people report feelings of concentration and deep enjoyment.

His studies revealed that what makes experience genuinely satisfying is ‘flow’ – a state of concentration so focused that it amounts to complete absorption in an activity and results in the achievement of a perfect state of happiness.

Flow has become the classic work on happiness and a major contribution to contemporary psychology.

It examines such timeless issues as the challenge of lifelong learning; family relationships; art, sport and sex as ‘flow’; the pain of loneliness; optimal use of free time; and how to make our lives meaningful.

Book: The Feeling Brain: The Biology and Psychology of Emotions

Published on 03/04/2020 by Andrew MarshallLeave a comment

Book Title:

The Feeling Brain: The Biology and Psychology of Emotions.

Author(s): Elizabeth Johnston (DPhil) and Leah Olson (PhD).

Year: 2015.

Edition: One.

Publisher: W.W. Norton & Company.

Type(s): Hardcover and Kindle.

Synopsis:

A reader-friendly exploration of the science of emotion.

After years of neglect by both mainstream biology and psychology, the study of emotions has emerged as a central topic of scientific inquiry in the vibrant new discipline of affective neuroscience. Elizabeth Johnston and Leah Olson trace how work in this rapidly expanding field speaks to fundamental questions about the nature of emotion: What is the function of emotions? What is the role of the body in emotions? What are “feelings,” and how do they relate to emotions? Why are emotions so difficult to control? Is there an emotional brain?

The authors tackle these questions and more in this “tasting menu” of cutting-edge emotion research. They build their story around the path-breaking 19th century works of biologist Charles Darwin and psychologist and philosopher William James. James’s 1884 article “What Is an Emotion?” continues to guide contemporary debate about minds, brains, and emotions, while Darwin’s treatise on “The Expression of Emotions in Animals and Humans” squarely located the study of emotions as a critical concern in biology.

Throughout their study, Johnston and Olson focus on the key scientists whose work has shaped the field, zeroing in on the most brilliant threads in the emerging tapestry of affective neuroscience. Beginning with early work on the brain substrates of emotion by such workers such as James Papez and Paul MacLean, who helped define an emotional brain, they then examine the role of emotion in higher brain functions such as cognition and decision-making. They then investigate the complex interrelations of emotion and pleasure, introducing along the way the work of major researchers such as Antonio Damasio and Joseph LeDoux. In doing so, they braid diverse strands of inquiry into a lucid and concise introduction to this burgeoning field, and begin to answer some of the most compelling questions in the field today.

How does the science of “normal” emotion inform our understanding of emotional disorders? To what extent can we regulate our emotions? When can we trust our emotions and when might they lead us astray? How do emotions affect our memories, and vice versa? How can we best describe the relationship between emotion and cognition? Johnston and Olson lay out the most salient questions of contemporary affective neuroscience in this study, expertly situating them in their biological, psychological, and philosophical contexts. They offer a compelling vision of an increasingly exciting and ambitious field for mental health professionals and the interested lay audience, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students.
