As a dyslexic writing my first, recently published book, 'The Achiever's Journey' (www.theachieversjourney.com) I quickly realised that people were generally not well informed about dyslexia - what it is and how it affects people's daily lives. Some people see it as a stigma, others believe it to be brain damage; neither of which is true. Through my research I have identified more than 70 definitions for dyslexia.
Although dyslexics consistently experience difficulties in learning, reading and ...

John walked into the kitchen and slumped against the counter.
'Hi John, ' I said. 'What's the matter with you?'
'Oh, nothing,' he mumbled.
'Must be a woman,' I laughed. John was my roommate's brother and
his romantic adventures were a source of great amusement at our
house. He was always on the make but rarely successful.
'Yeah, well'there's this girl I met at a party and she's sooooo
cute. And I got her number and I've been calling her but she
keeps coming up with excuses when I ask her to a ...

The Rebbe Nachman of Breslow often said, 'Always remember-Joy is
not merely incidental to your spiritual quest. It is vital.' As
the years have gone by and I've been in the practice of
psychology over 20 years, I have become more and more convinced
that he was so right, that joy is not an option. When we take
away joy and we take away a sense of well-being, a sense that we
are thriving, we allow ourselves or seem to find ourselves in
circumstances that seem to drain, tire and weaken us. We are ...

Notes of first therapy session with Mark, male, 36, diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder
Mark sits where instructed, erect but listless. When I ask him how he feels about attending therapy, he shrugs and mumbles "OK, I guess". He rarely twitches or flexes his muscles or in any way deviates from the posture he has assumed early on. He reacts with invariable, almost robotic equanimity to the most intrusive queries on my part. He shows no feelings when we discuss his uneventful childhood, ...

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a persistent blood pressure above 90 mm Hg between the heart beats (diastolic) or over 140 mm Hg at the beats (systolic). The blood pressure varies naturally in response to stress and physical work load. Therefore the blood pressure shall be measured in a relaxed situation and several times before this diagnosis is certain.
Hypertension does not in itself give dramatic symptoms, but it is dangerous because it causes a highly increased risk for heart ...

Excerpts from a recent interview Interviewer: OK, what IS
intuition? Does anyone really know? Do YOU know? Susan: Well,
that's how I started years ago when I learned that intuition (or
'gut feeling') was an Emotional Intelligence competency (my area
of expertise), and I was going to have to figure out not only
what it was, but how to teach it to others. I had a teleclass,
and I asked if anyone on the call knew a lot about intuition.
There were two people. I said, 'What is intuition?' and ...

Most of the people think that they can amass a lot of wealth if they are lucky, or a wise professional tells them which career to choose. Although you may find a path to a good career with a sound advice but it is not the way to great riches. You can't even become very rich by dreaming about sudden inheritance from somewhere. According to researches 80% of the millionaires or billionaires are self-made.
These billionaires didn't inherit their wealth from parents or any uncle. They are first ...

At the end of the day, bathing in the soft light of a candle, lying still on your favorite easy chair, surrender to the silence, and you will find within it, music to disappear in.
Franz Kafka, one of the major German-language novelists and short story writers of the 20th century, whose unique body of writing is considered amongst the most influential in Western literature, knew that if anything has real and lasting value, it is always a gift from within.
He understood the flow of silence, the ...

Nothing can get as heated as an argument between a husband and
wife, unless maybe it's a parent and a teenager. Because these
relationships are closely bonded and intense, we react strongly
and emotions are far more 'contagious' than between us and
friends, or even colleagues. Haven't you found this to be true?
The first step in learning to get along better with your husband
is to understand this strong emotional reaction to what's going
on. One word and a quick reaction from you without ...
