Freedom from Stammering


Book Description

Can stammering be defeated to become a good speaker? The answer is yes. Stammering will be defeated and you will reach the pinnacle of success if you believe in yourself and are ready to put in the required efforts. How will this happen? Stammering is due to anxiety triggered by the psychological fear of letters and words. It means that your subconscious mind has accepted the fact that you will not be able to speak a specific letter or word. It becomes a belief, making it real. You stammer. If you get rid of this faulty thinking from your subconscious mind then your anxiety would diminish automatically to make you a better speaker without speech impediments. Note the following points: · Stammering is a habit, · It is triggered automatically, · The problem of stammering can be solved by getting freedom from faulty habits. We will share the ideas, exercises and techniques of the people who have successfully defeated their stammering in the past and become good speakers with professional success and satisfaction. It is said that stammering is a rigid habit that does not easily leave a person. Stories abound about the years of struggle with stammering without results. Even if the intensity of stammering is reduced slightly, it tends to bounce back even harder. After several failed efforts people accept their fate of living a life with a speech handicap. We do not guarantee that everyone following this book will be able to cure their stammering completely. The main objective is to present a large number of exercises, techniques and ideas which have worked for other people and were responsible for developing their communication skills and personality and helping them to defeat their stammering to a certain extent. In some cases, stammering was cured to 99% while in other cases it was 70%, 75%, 85%, 92% and so on. This journey is going to be long and hard. The stammering is not going to be cured immediately or show any signs of abating for several months. But if the efforts are consistent and hard, the stammering would slowly weaken and start to loosen its grip on the person. This is the fundamental objective of this book. We hope that many people around the world would benefit from this collection of ideas and techniques. If you want to fight your stammering with full force, this book will stand with you in your struggle. If you have high expectations from yourself and believe that you will be able to defeat your psychological fear of stammering, then let us start the journey to better speaking without speech handicap.

Dreaming the Future


Book Description

Few would deny that we are entering a period of great change. Our environment is collapsing. Social disruption abounds. All around, it seems, we are experiencing breakdown. But out of this chaos comes the opportunity for breakthrough-the opportunity to reimagine our future. In Dreaming the Future, Kenny Ausubel leads us into that possible new world and introduces us to the thinkers and doers who are-sometimes quietly, sometimes not-leading what he calls "a revolution from the heart of nature and the human heart." In a collection of short, witty, poignant, even humorous essays, Ausubel tracks the big ideas, emerging trends, and game-changing developments of our time. He guides us through our watershed moment, showing how it's possible to emerge from a world where corporations are citizens, the gap between rich and poor is cavernous, and biodiversity and the climate are under assault and create a world where we take our cues from nature and focus on justice, equity, diversity, democracy, and peace. Even those steeped in the realities of a world gone wrong and efforts to right it will find refreshing, even surprising, perspectives in Dreaming the Future. It will come as no surprise to readers that Ausubel is cofounder of Bioneers-which foreword author David W. Orr describes as "one part global salon...one part catalytic organization."




The Interpretation of Dreams


Book Description

'Dreams are products of the mind, and do not come from any external source' Artemidorus' The Interpretation of Dreams (Oneirocritica) is the richest and most vivid pre-Freudian account of dream interpretation, and the only dream-book to have survived complete from Graeco-Roman times. Written in Greek around AD 200, when dreams were believed by many to offer insight into future events, the work is a compendium of interpretations of dreams on a wide range of subjects relating to the natural, human, and divine worlds. It includes the meanings of dreams about the body, sex, eating and drinking, dress, the weather, animals, the gods, and much else. Artemidorus' technique of dream interpretation stresses the need to know the background of the dreamer, such as occupation, health, status, habits, and age, and the work is a fascinating social history, revealing much about ancient life, culture, and beliefs, and attitudes to the dominant power of Imperial Rome. Martin Hammond's fine translation is accompanied by a lucid introduction and explanatory notes by Peter Thonemann, which assist the reader in understanding this important work, which was an influence on both Sigmund Freud and Michel Foucault.

Self-therapy for the Stutterer


Book Description

Malcolm Fraser knew from personal experience what the person who stutters is up against. His introduction to stuttering corrective procedures first came at the age of fifteen under the direction of Frederick Martin, M.D., who at that time was Superintendent of Speech Correction for the New York City schools. A few years later, he worked with J. Stanley Smith, L.L.D., a stutterer and philanthropist, who, for altruistic reasons, founded the Kingsley Clubs in Philadelphia and New York that were named after the English author, Charles Kingsley, who also stuttered. The Kingsley Clubs were small groups of adult stutterers who met one night a week to try out treatment ideas then in effect. In fact, they were actually practicing group therapy as they talked about their experiences and exchanged ideas. This exchange gave each of the members a better understanding of the problem. The founder often led the discussions at both clubs. In 1928 Malcolm Fraser joined his older brother Carlyle who founded the NAPA-Genuine Parts Company that year in Atlanta, Georgia. He became an important leader in the company and was particularly outstanding in training others for leadership roles. In 1947, with a successful career under way, he founded the Stuttering Foundation of America. In subsequent years, he added generously to the endowment so that at the present time, endowment income covers over fifty percent of the operating budget. In 1984, Malcolm Fraser received the fourth annual National Council on Communicative Disorders' Distinguished Service Award. The NCCD, a council of 32 national organizations, recognized the Foundation's efforts in "adding to stutterers', parents', clinicians', and the public's awareness and ability to deal constructively with stuttering."

Dreams of the Compass Rose


Book Description

2002 Nebula Awards Preliminary Ballot Nominee The world is shaped by two things — stories told and the memories they leave behind. The Compass Rose universe -- an ancient milieu where places have no names, cities spring forth like bouquets in the desert, gods and dreams walk the scorching sands in the South, ice floats like mirror shards upon the Northern sea, islands that do not exist are found in the East, death chases a thief on the rooftops of a Western city, immortal love spans time, and directions are intertwined into one road we all travel.... You come to this place when you wonder, and sometimes, only when you dream. What is the nature of evil? When a young warrior of a dark race finds himself bound in servitude to a beautiful cruel princess, his loyalty becomes entwined with something more horrifying and mysterious than endless night falling over the ancient desert. When a courageous young servant reveals her hidden wisdom to the madman conqueror of the world, her fate is joined to a nightmare suspended beyond death and outside the universe. Two souls from different times -- their destinies connected through hundreds of other lives and generations, through soft whispers of the wind, through ancient truths that lie buried in an island between worlds. Both souls enslaved through dream and desire in an endless conflict between truth and illusion. They can only be set free by the wonder of the Compass Rose.
