      Autism Spectrum Disorders in Adults

      A Practical Guide for Adults with ASD

      by Annelies Spek

      Lately, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adults have received more and more attention. A decade ago, autism was only recognised and diagnosed in children. Oddly enough, the fact that ASD could also occur in adults has been neglected for a long time. By now it has become clear that the symptoms of ASD change over the lifetime. Though people with ASD definitely have many strengths (eye for detail, perseverance, sincerity, a sense of humour, reliability, and consistency), they also have shortcomings. This book brings the reader up to date about ASD. In Part 1, the causes of ASD are described, both in nature and nurture. This part also includes a discussion about information processing in relation to ASD. Part 2 deals with the behavioural aspects as described in the DSM-5. In Part 3, several important themes are discussed, such as the diagnostic process, sexuality, gender differences, and changes that people with ASD experience throughout their lives. ‘I wish I had read this book 15 years ago. I finally understand why people respond to me the way they do.’ Joost, diagnosed with ASD. Target Group: adults with autism, relatives, therapists.

      Human Sadness

      Twelve Conversations

      by Angelika Schett

      Why is the so-called “coolness” of sadness currently fading? Why is sadness increasingly being medicalized? Why is sadness the most humane of all feelings? And: can animals be sad? Twelve conversations with philosophers, psychiatrists, experts in cultural studies, and psychoanalysts focus on sadness from different perspectives – and they have something positive to say about this emotion. Target Group: For non-specialists and experts – everyone who is interested in the broad spectrum of human sadness

      Don't Believe Everything You Think

      How to stop making decisions that let you down, lead you astray and keep you from success

      by Colin J Browne

      When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think. If you ever hired a person who ‘looks the part’, dated someone who ‘gives you a good feeling’, voted for the party that ‘speaks the most sense’ or got into an investment that ‘cannot be missed’, only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it. Yet, still bearing the bruises, you’re likely to make exactly the same decision the next time. The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases (and literally every single one of us has them), which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad; one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false; and make you act less smartly than you should. But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them. In Don’t Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

      Everything harder than everyone else

      Why some of us push our bodies to extremes

      by Jenny Valentish

      There is a part of human nature compelled to test our own limits. But what happens when this part comes to define us? When journalist Jenny Valentish wrote Woman of Substances, a book about addiction, she noticed that people who treated drug-taking like an Olympic sport would often hurl themselves into a pursuit like marathon running upon giving up. What stayed constant was the need to push their boundaries. Everything Harder Than Everyone Else follows people doing the things that most couldn't, wouldn't or shouldn't. By delving into their extreme behaviour, there's a lot that us mere mortals can learn about the human condition. There's the neuroscientist violating his brain to override his disgust response. The athlete using childhood adversity as grist for the mill. The wrestler turning restlessness into curated ultraviolence. The architect hanging from hooks in her flesh, to better get out of her head. The performance artist seeking erasure by torturing his body. The BDSM dom helping people flirt with death to feel more alive. The bare-knuckle boxer whose gnarliest opponent is her ego. The dancer who could not separate her identity from her practice until at death's door. The bodybuilder exacting order on a life that was once chaotic. And the porn star-turned-fighter for whom sex and violence are two sides of the same coin. Their insights lead Jenny on a compulsive, sometimes reckless journey of immersion journalism.

      Unbox Your Relationship

      How to draw people to you and build relationships that last

      by Tobias Beck

      Are you ready to have the best relationships of your life? Tobias Beck shows how you achieve them – at work and in your private life Thanks to our networked world, we have more relationships than ever before. We’ve never been in touch with so many people at any one time, and it’s never been so hard for us to open up to one another. We live in a world that strives for perfection and forgets that relationships are not a filtered Instagram selfie. Relationships exist alongside and because of us and, as such, are also like us: unique, flawed, and constantly changing. This is a good thing. Perfection is far too static a state for the colourful emotional world where our relationships reside. We need relationships to be happy, yet it is this unique emotional world that makes it so difficult for us to establish them in the first place. In this new book, Tobias Beck takes you on a journey aimed at achieving the best relationships of your life. As a first step, you must fall in love with yourself – because your relationship with yourself determines the standards of compassion, understanding, respect, and trust that is reflected in your relationships with others. Once you have learned to say goodbye to the beliefs that hold you back and to forgive the past and yourself, you will be able to intensively nourish good relationships and say goodbye to others. Your life deserves the best relationships you can foster. Tobias’ animal-based model of the four basic types of person - whale, shark, dolphin and owl - has already inspired millions online. It will help you figure out what the people around you feel and believe. What motivates them? What are the things they dream of? What scares them? In Tobias’ many humorous stories, you’ll recognise your partner, family, friends, colleagues and yourself, and thus learn to understand all these people better. By the end of the book, you’ll speak the language of the four animals and know why dolphins should never marry owls, why you should adopt a whale and what you should avoid so as not to be eaten by a shark. Tobias will take you on a journey to yourself and the people you love – with empathy, poignancy and plenty of laughs along the way. About the Author: With more than 250,000 seminar participants and 5 million Podcast listeners Tobias Beck belongs to the most in demand speakers in the German-speaking countries. Tobias Beck motivates you, gives you concrete tips and shows you ways in which you can free yourself from everything that oppresses you, that keeps you small. Learn to think in terms of opportunities and possibilities instead of first seeing problems and risks in everything. Go your own way and let your dreams and visions guide you. And above all, look for people who support you, who let you grow and help you to move forward - this is how you live your own life successfully and authentically BEWOHNERFREI®.

      The Little Guide to Surviving A Crisis

      How to cope better in times of crisis and take advantage of unexpected opportunities

      by Marco von Münchhausen

      The 7 phases of emerging stronger from a crisis By their nature, crises often arrive unexpectedly, quickly and against our wishes. Crisis situations are a recurring and hugely disruptive feature of our modern lives. The good news is that each crisis brings with it the golden opportu-nity for a new start. Seizing these opportunities requires courage, self-reflection and an inner sense of stability. If we are willing to rise to the challenge and change the way we see things, there are manifold professional and personal opportunities for the taking. In this new crisis handbook, Marco von Münchhausen explains how – with the right strategies, tools and checklists – we can learn not only to weather the storm, but to use it to our personal advantage. Overcome your fear of the un-certain and develop a self-determined vision for the future. As you do so, ensure that your own needs are met – with structure in your daily life and a healthy work-life balance. As the crises eases, this handbook will guide you on your way to a new, self-determined reality. If you are prepared to confront upheaval head-on and contemplate a change in perspective, you can access important lessons and mas-sively increase your resilience. About the Author: Marco von Münchhausen studied law, psychology and communication sciences in Munich, Geneva and Florence and completed his doctoral thesis in law at the Max Planck Institute in Munich. Today, he is one of Central Europe’s most in-demand speakers and coaches. He travels within and beyond Germany to deliver lectures on work-life balance, self-motivation, stress management, self-management in everyday life and the activation of personal resources.Marco’s awards and honours include ‘Trainer of the Year’ (2002), the ‘Excellence Award’ for outstanding services as a trainer and speaker (2005), the ‘Conga Award’ (the Oscar of the events world) in the ‘Speakers and Moderators’ section (2007 and 2010) and ‘Speaker of the Year’ (2015).

      A Potent Love

      The Power of Undivided Attention, One Moment at a Time

      by Mei C. Yao and Mama Shiangrue

      Parental love could gift a newborn with a lifetime of peace and harmony, and just as potently it could impose on it a lifetime of confusion and misery. All parents love their children and they always do so to the best of their ability. But why are so many people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation, and sometimes just collapsed at the height of their career and business success? And why are a few lucky others seemingly so able to keep calm and charge on even in the midst of severe crises? The majority of us, men and women, spend much of our adulthood trying to sort through vague feelings of unworthiness, injustice, and emotional turbulence. We cannot seem to come to terms with where this “pain body” is originated and, thus, unknowingly propagate similar tragedies -- outward and downward -- to almost everyone who comes into our sphere of influence. As concluded in The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self, Dr. Alice Miller said, “I have come to see that this [universal human] tragedy cannot be undone in a single generation.” Planet Earth is increasingly vibrating higher and higher in the frequency of pure love. The higher the Earth vibration rises, the more rapidly those who are bogged-down by emotional imbalance and mental stress -- because of having been deprived of the experience of “truth love” as elaborated in Thich Nhat Hanh’s 1997 book titled, True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart -- will have a tough time thriving on the new planet of love: The New Earth. In this book, Mei Yao will share with us “the key” she uncovered for unleashing this most potent human energy -- parental love -- in the most beneficial and natural way, as demonstrated by her mother-in-law, Mama Shiangrue, an extraordinarily wise woman despite (or in spite of) her having never been formally educated. She was simply a woman who knew how to love, and in a very Thich Nhat Hanh way.

      FIFTY EXERCISES FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION: IMPROVING SELF ESTEEM AND INSPIRING OTHERS

      by Bowie Tsang

      Do you feel awkward in social situations? Are you ever at a loss for what to say? Do you find yourself drained by conversations, even when sharing positive experiences? We all learn to speak in childhood, but real communication takes a lifetime to master. With twenty years of experience hosting talk shows and events, Bowie Tsang has the ability to engage guests from all walks of life. In her book, she shares the professional experiences that left the deepest impressions on her, and teaches readers how to make conversations happen no matter what the setting, emphasizing that communication can be a powerful path of personal growth. The first lesson of effective communication is “know thyself”. Only when we know our own passions and emotions can we begin to seek out points of resonance others. This is the prelude to learning how to have natural and flowing conversations. With this foundation, we can develop our own communication style and learn to better express our thoughts through storytelling practice, and reading a broad range of books. Later, we can continue to improve our communication through two critical skills: the use of positive energy, and learning to see things through the eyes of others. Bowie Tsang believes that real conversations are co-creations. We find satisfaction and positive energy in conversations, and avoid feeling drained, by working together and giving good feedback. Good communication is a lifelong study that will help us find mutual understanding and develop greater tolerance for those around us. Unlike other books on communication, Fifty Exercises for Better Conversations doesn’t promote conversational gimmicks. Drawing on twenty years of experience, Bowie Tsang teaches that good conversations don’t unfold according to the rules. Naturally flowing from topic to topic helps put participants at ease, encourages positive communication, and creates a space for healing. Lively and authentic, Bowie Tsang’s writing will leave readers savoring the warmth and intimacy of a heartfelt talk, and inspire them to go out and create healing conversations of their own.
