50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm

Unanxious

An unexpected inheritance leads to a shocking house of hoarding and a year-long quest to understand the deep connection between humans and their objects. I am a detective of the deceased as in my hands, their possessions bring my departed relatives to life. As I separate significant items from garbage, I am able to peel apart and expose the emotional underpinnings of hoarding and make sense of the difference between collecting and hoarding. There are recognized genetic connections to hoarding and these take me inward to question my own behavior. By combing through their possessions, I discover the truth about my relatives, their human natures, the family secrets they hid. With each revelation my preconceived judgments progressively shift from disgust at the detritus, what I see as the flotsam of lives, to feelings of empathy. I learn how after death, each of us continues to live in the items we have possessed. As wide-ranging as genealogical discoveries can be, they do not usually lead to a year-long immersion inside the House of a Hoarder. Yet that is what happened to me. The House That Held Everything brings a reader into the world inhabited by an estimated 19 million Americans who are hoarders, many unseen, fearful of humiliation if their secret is revealed. Although I was aware of the widespread existence of hoarding behavior, especially since the A&amp;E television series Hoarders has had 13 seasons, from 2009 to 2021 (and may have a possible Season 14). I had never considered that this behavior would interest or touch me, thought I did not know any hoarders, and I could never become one. I was wrong. In researching family history in 2017 my sister Ellen learns that our first cousin Bob had died in 2016 at age 67. She knows that she, my brothers, and I are the next of kin but none of us had been notified. A little more research shows that Bob had not had a funeral until six months after he had passed away. (There is an aura of mystery in this fact which we eventually solve.) We are able to document our status as surviving family and in 2017 when I enter the Cherry Hill, New Jersey home that Bob left behind, and we inherited, I discover rooms filled wall to wall, floor to ceiling, with piled up items from years of secret hoarding, but also the disciplined collecting, of clocks, glassware, Asian porcelain pieces, toy trains and more. During my year in this house, from 2017-2018, I learn the truth of my grandparents' marriage through documents found. I begin to understand the link between people and their possessions. Like a Sherlock Holmes of the emotions, I feel the lives of others in the objects they held close and were unable to discard. A new empathy wells up within me and I realize that objects actually bring their owners to life in my hands.

A Family's Hidden Hoarding and the Secrets Left Behind

The House that Held Everything

The word "cult" conjures images of people in thrall to a charismatic leader who extracts obedience through lies and threats, and of apocalyptic prophecies, sexual perversion, and mass suicide. From the Celtic druids, whose ritual sacrifices inspired the folk horror film The Wicker Man, all the way up to the Peoples Temple and Heaven's Gate, The Penguin Book of Cults charts the history of our fear of the religious other. Bringing to light little-known sources such as a "death tape" of Jonestown's final hour, when Jim Jones led more than 900 of his followers to drink poison, and a minute-by-minute log of the FBI's final assault on the Branch Davidian headquarters, and including accounts of drinking the blood of sacrificed cats, theories that we are living inside a hollow earth, and reports that space brothers from Venus are coming to redeem us from the threat of nuclear war, this volume opens a fascinating window into cults and why some of them have ended in spectacular violence.

A chilling documentary history of the most notorious cults of the past two thousand years, from the Celtic druids whose ritual sacrifices inspired the folk horror film The Wicker Man all the way up to the Peoples Temple and Heaven’s Gate A Penguin Classic The word “cult” conjures images of people in thrall to a charismatic leader who extracts obedience through lies and threats, and of apocalyptic prophecies, ritual sacrifices, sexual perversion, and mass suicide. The Penguin Book of Cults charts the history of our fear of the religious other: the arrest and public execution of thousands of members of an ancient Roman cult devoted to Bacchus, the god of wine; the burning alive of victims in giant wicker effigies as an offering to Celtic gods; the nocturnal orgies, murder of children, and demon worship of medieval heretics; a church of “human vampires” in nineteenth-century Kansas City; moral panics over the hypnotic powers of yoga; and mass&nbsp;casualty events&nbsp;like the sarin nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway system by the doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo. Bringing to light little-known sources such as a “death tape” of Jonestown’s final hour, when Jim Jones led more than 900 of his followers to drink poison, and&nbsp;a minute-by-minute log of the FBI’s final assault on the Branch Davidian headquarters, and including accounts of drinking the blood of sacrificed cats, theories that we are living inside a hollow earth, and reports that space brothers from Venus are coming to redeem us from the threat of nuclear war, this volume opens a fascinating window into cults and why some of them have ended in spectacular violence.

Be A Man About It

The Resilience Response presents a revolutionary new way to understand trauma - what it is, why it exists and how to respond to it. The world authority on intergenerational trauma draws on her three decades of pioneering research to unlock trauma's purpose and so transform our ability to heal. She shows that trauma is in fact a survival tool, designed to equip us and our children to cope with stressful events. Using moving case studies and powerful stories of healing, The Resilience Response offers a guide to this new science and shows us that flexibility is the key ingredient not only for our own health, but that of the generations to come. It shows what we can do after a traumatic event to reduce our chances of developing PTSD, and shares groundbreaking discoveries about treatments that can prevent epigenetic stress markers from being passed to the next generation. Whether we have experienced trauma firsthand or as a result of our environment, we all have the power to nurture our resilience and pass it on, making a safer world for our children and future generations. The Resilience Response teaches us to see our biological responses as a gift and to see our experiences surviving adversity as a way to connect, help others heal, and create a more just world, offering anyone struggling with stress or adversity the opportunity to transform it into radical hope.
