Mental health has become a global pandemic, with millions of people in different parts of the world suffering from one form or another. Despite the tons of resources available, more needs to be done, as the number of mental illnesses rises. Consequently, Madison Carter is taking a seemingly different, yet effective approach to addressing the plague by documenting real-life experiences and sharing them with the world. The poisons facilitating stress, depression, anxiety, and other forms of darkness have brutally brought the fire! Yet, since they wanted the smoke, it was what it was, and the fire was extinguished through the joy! Freedom From Isolation is Madison Carter's gripping journal entries of real-life events, violence, adult content, comedy, lust, and loss. In this powerful and unorthodox ‘Christian’ journal, the reader will be swept into a profound expedition through the dangerous streets of Chicago better known as Chiraq. Freedom From Isolation serves as a unique blend of raw and unfiltered emotions that supply a transparent account of the diverse challenges, struggles, and obstacles hell-bent on trying to destroy the soul. In a cold, dark, and turbulent world, readers will witness an unyielding determination to break free from the mental shackles. Freedom From Isolation unravels the harsh reality of life surrounded by curses that play a big part in this compelling narration of encounters. Madison’s journal shares her captivating experiences with fearlessness, fierceness, and forgiveness, which have helped her to understand the importance of self-reflection, living on purpose, learning through error, and mastering love. She has gained clarity about the struggles faced through the redeeming power of grace. This journal reminds us of how trapped mental struggles make us feel, and how resilient we need to be to find happiness and hope. Mistakes are unintentional, and decisions are intentional! As adults, we tend to lean more toward making wrong decisions that end up as mistakes after a situation occurs. Our decisions are swayed by feelings that often cause us to self-sabotage. In an irrational mind, trickery forms delusions, and decisions are made that are later regretted. The world is full of ups and downs; it takes our minds on a Marry Go Round! Our smiles are now frowns, and our spirits have drowned. It is hard to see, and minds cannot conceive; that we must believe in all things! But do you fear, nor have an ear? Behold... The "FINAL DESTINATION" is near! ... ExTra ExTra... The world is under attack, black people have been under attack, women are under attack, muscularity is under attack, our democracy is under attack, and now, our children are under attack! The writer of Freedom From Isolation is looking to inspire readers across the globe with thought-provoking questions: Can you lose everything but your joy? Will you break, bend, or fold under tribulation, test, trial, or trouble? What does resilience mean? What are we going to do? What are we hoping for? When is it coming, or who is coming? Why is it taking so long? These are all valid concerns, but no one can answer these questions. AT A TIME SUCH AS THIS! There has been a wave of coaches, prophets, and other so-called inspirational leaders who have graced the world with their presence but most of them are hypocrites and cannot be trusted either. Let's say we have two choices, and they are permanent, so we cannot have a redo. Remember, this journal pertains to real life and is not hypothetical, nor should it be taken lightly. It is not tricky; it needs careful consideration. The choices are 1) Being in a Sauna, or 2) Being in a Jacuzzi.

Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in late 2002 and 2003 challenged the global public health community to confront a novel epidemic that spread rapidly from its origins in southern China until it had reached more than 25 other countries within a matter of months. In addition to the number of patients infected with the SARS virus, the disease had profound economic and political repercussions in many of the affected regions. Recent reports of isolated new SARS cases and a fear that the disease could reemerge and spread have put public health officials on high alert for any indications of possible new outbreaks. This report examines the response to SARS by public health systems in individual countries, the biology of the SARS coronavirus and related coronaviruses in animals, the economic and political fallout of the SARS epidemic, quarantine law and other public health measures that apply to combating infectious diseases, and the role of international organizations and scientific cooperation in halting the spread of SARS. The report provides an illuminating survey of findings from the epidemic, along with an assessment of what might be needed in order to contain any future outbreaks of SARS or other emerging infections.

This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post 911 world, people are more susceptible than ever to charismatic figures who offer simple, black v. white, us v. them, good v. evil, formulaic solutions. The rise of the Internet; increasingly sophisticated knowledge about how to influence and manipulate others; and the growing vulnerabilities of people across the planet—make for a dangerous, potentially devastating combination. Steven Hassan’s new book Freedom of Mind provides the knowledge and awareness needed to help yourself and loved ones avoid or escape from such dangerous people and situations. This must-read volume is a significantly updated and revised edition of Hassan’s groundbreaking Releasing the Bonds (2000). People who read and benefitted from that book—and also his earlier book, Combatting Cult Mind Control (1989)—will want to read Hassan’s latest. It provides an up-to-the-minute guide to the reality of ‘undue influence’—the preferred term for mind control—in the post 9/11 era. Unstable Global Environment Enhances Dangers of Unethical Control The world has changed greatly in the last decade. The rise of the Internet, the emergence of global terrorism and of dangerous totalistic ideologies, and the shifts in global markets—these and other changes have created new opportunities for unscrupulous individuals, groups, and institutions to exert unethical control over others. Freedom of Mind exposes the techniques and methods that individuals, cults, and institutions of all types—religious, business, therapeutic, educational, governmental—use to undo a person’s capacity to think and act independently. Individuals More Vulnerable than Ever The Internet is now the primary vehicle for recruitment and indoctrination. It is also a means for spreading sophisticated information about social psychology, hypnosis, and other techniques of social control, which are being used—in ways both effective and dangerous—by ‘influence professionals.’ Meanwhile, people are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Sleep-deprived, overweight and looking to improve themselves, overloaded with often frightening images and information; anxious about the current economic decline, climate change, and government corruption on all levels. People are more susceptible than ever to charismatic figures who offer simple, black v. white, us v. them, good v. evil, formulaic solutions. These factors—the rise of the Internet; increasingly sophisticated knowledge about how to influence and manipulate others; and the growing vulnerabilities of people across the planet—make for a dangerous, potentially devastating combination. Freedom of Mind Provides Help for Yourself, a Loved One, or a Friend Hassan’s new book, Freedom of Mind, aims to fill the gap. It identifies and explains how to identify and evaluate potentially dangerous groups and individuals. Hassan details his groundbreaking approach, the ‘Strategic Interactive Approach,’ which can be used to help a loved one leave such a situation. Step-by-step, Hassan shows you how to: evaluate the situation; interact with dual identities; develop communication strategies using phone calls, letter writing and visits; understand and utilize cult beliefs and tactics; use reality-testing and other techniques to promote freedom of mind. He emphasizes the value of meeting with trained consultants to be effectively guided and coached and also to plan and implement effective interventions. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is knowledge and awareness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exceptional collection of dispatches from occupied Donbas, writer and journalist Stanislav Aseyev details the internal and external changes observed in the cities of Makiïvka and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. Aseyev scrutinizes his immediate environment and questions himself in an attempt to understand the reasons behind the success of Russian propaganda among the working-class residents of the industrial region of Donbas. In this work of documentary prose, Aseyev focuses on the early period of the Russian-sponsored military aggression in Ukraine’s east, the period of 2015–2017. The author’s testimony ends with his arrest for publishing his dispatches and his subsequent imprisonment and torture in a modern-day concentration camp on the outskirts of Donetsk run by lawless mercenaries and local militants with the tacit approval and support of Moscow. For the first time, an inside account is presented here of the toll on real human lives and civic freedoms that the citizens of Europe’s largest country continue to suffer in Russia’s hybrid war on its territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is no secret that isolation is one of the key ailments of our age. But less explored is the way the church as it is frequently practiced contributes to this isolation instead of offering an alternative. With the help of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this book argues for a renewed vision of the church community as a theological therapy to cultural, moral, and sociological isolation. It offers an account of how familiar church practices, such as Scripture reading, worship, prayer, and eating, contribute to community formation in the body of Christ.
