An expanded edition of this classic book on grief and loss--with a new preface and epilogueLoss came suddenly for Jerry Sittser. In an instant, a tragic car accident claimed three generations of his family: his mother, his wife, and his young daughter. While most of us will not experience such a catastrophic loss in our lifetime, all of us will taste it. And we can, if we choose, know as well the grace that transforms it. A Grace Disguised plumbs the depths of sorrow, whether due to illness, divorce, or the loss of someone we love. The circumstances are not important; what we do with those circumstances is.

"Having just watched the first presidential debate, the level of civility in the United States has sunk lower than we ever thought possible. This book, therefore, couldn't come at a better time. Through examples from his own life as a professional drummer, Tai Chi practitioner, father, and therapist; as well of the life's of the famous and infamous, David Medeiros not only reminds us how important the qualities of responsibility, accountability, compassion, and civility are but also provides clear guidelines for achieving them." -Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. Founder and Developer of the Internal Family Systems Model of psychotherapy

"Since David began working with us almost ten years ago, he has saved many young people's lives. This book is a reflection of his influences and integration of models of psychotherapy, the performance arts, real life experiences, and relevance of universal truths." -Dorothy Jungels and Aaron Jungels, Co-Founding Artistic Directors, Everett: Company, Stage & School

We, as a nation, are experiencing one of the most openly divisive times in our countries history. How did we get here, why are we languishing here, and what can we, as individuals, do about it? More than we think.

Through self-reflection and a recommitment to a sense of responsibility we can, on an individual and collective level, get back on a path towards civility. Some of the paths described in this book may surprise you, and one of them, the Internal Family Systems Model, can provide a clear, practical, and elegant framework that we can apply to ourselves and our actions, and improve the way we relate to and acknowledge the dignity and humanity of others.

David Medeiros was a musician for 20 years and inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame as a drummer. Currently, he is a Clinical Social Worker/psychotherapist in private practice.

In addition, he is proud to be involved with the Everett: Company, where he collaborated on the development of Good Grief; an exploration, through the lens of performance arts and Internal Family Systems, on how trauma is encoded, embodied, and experienced.

This leading-edge book by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, is about having a deliberate intent for whatever you want in life, while at the same time balancing your energy along the way. But it’s important to note that the awareness of the need to balance your energy is much more significant than goal-setting or focusing on ultimate desires. And it is from this very important distinction that this work has come forth. As you come to understand and effectively practice the processes offered here, you will not only achieve your goals and desired outcomes more rapidly, but you’ll enjoy every single step along the path even before their manifestation. As such, you’ll find that the &Iof your life is an ongoing journey of joy, rather than a series of long dry spells between occasional moments of temporary satisfaction.

In a groundbreaking, major work on intuition, health, and brain science, Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz gives innovative, fresh, and exciting new ways to tap into intuitions that not only hold the power to improve our health, but also save our lives.

Intuition, Dr. Schulz maintains, is not magical or mystical, but a real, down-to-earth capacity we all possess that is as natural as all our other senses. Functioning as a transmitter of messages from a nonrational, unconscious level of our brains, intuition provides information to guide our actions. Awakening Intuition teaches readers how to hone their receptivity to intuitive messages by attending to the clues of their bodies -- including symptoms of physical disorder and disease, dreams, internal visions or voices, body sensations, and emotional reactions.

Like Spontaneous Healing and Anatomy of the Spirit, Awakening Intuition illuminates the intimate connections between our minds, bodies, and emotions, and offers practical, proven guidelines for achieving maximum physical and psychological health. And like The Man Who Mistook His wife for a Hat, the book provides astonishing new perspectives on the powers of the mind as Dr. Schulz recounts her own extraordinary experience as a psychiatrist, clinical practitioner, and brain researcher.
