    Explains and demonstrates how to create and utilize mind-body connections for unknotting vexing problems. 
     
     
     
    In the popular imagination, hypnosis is misconstrued as something done to people, as if the hypnotist hypnotizes them. And hypnotherapy is similarly misconceived as something done to clients' problems, as if the therapist could unilaterally counter or cure them. In a refreshing departure from conception-as-usual, Douglas Flemons offers another view, articulating relational ideas about how minds and bodies communicate and learn. 
     
     
     
    In his characteristically casual and concise way, Flemons explains and illustrates how hypnosis, like meditation, is invited, not induced, and how hypnotherapy entails the altering and unraveling of knotted strands of problematic experience, not the controlling and abolishing of labeled afflictions. The therapist gets in sync with clients so they can, together, extemporaneously facilitate changes to undesired thoughts, urges, emotions, sensations, or behaviors. This book takes you to the heart of hypnotherapy, to the respectful, playful practice of utilizing clients' flow experience to collaboratively discover and create opportunities for embodied learning and therapeutic change.

    When Pauline Terreehorst bid for a vintage Gucci suitcase at Sotheby's Amsterdam, she had no idea what was inside. The case turned out to be full of fine dresses, furs, and lace, with boxes of postcard albums showing grand castles and churches in Austria, France, England, and Scotland. The curious correspondence revolved around Austrian philanthropist Countess Margarethe Szapary, and her daughter. 
     
     
     
    These unexpected family treasures are a gateway to a lost world: social, cultural, and political life as the Szaparys knew it vanished in twentieth-century Europe's great upheavals. Borders were redrawn, old cities received new names, communities changed loyalties—and Central Europe's cosmopolitan, royalist aristocrats had to decide whether to become Germans under Nazi rule. 
     
     
     
    What did Margarethe choose, when her new neighbor Hermann Goring came knocking with a troubling request? What were the consequences for her and her children? And how did the family's suitcase cross war-torn Europe to end up in Terreehorst's hands decades later?

    Plato is one of the towering figures in Western philosophy, whose works have significantly shaped the course of intellectual history. He was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, known for his dialogues, which form the foundation of Western philosophy and science. Plato’s philosophy was not just about abstract thought; it was deeply practical, aiming to guide human conduct and societal organization towards justice and virtue. His Academy continued to function for nearly a thousand years, illustrating the enduring legacy of his intellectual pursuits. 
    The Apology of Socrates is a philosophical text detailing the speech Socrates gives during his trial in 399 BC in Athens for charges of corrupting the youth and impiety (not believing in the gods of the state and introducing new deities). The Apology not only serves as a defense but also as a profound statement on living philosophically, the nature of wisdom, and the value of an examined life, even in the face of death. 
    Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.
