To make matters worse, Emilie is paired with starting point guard Chatham York for a major research project on Emily Dickinson. Then Emilie’s mom enrolls her in public school, and Emilie goes from studying at home in her pj’s to halls full of strangers. Emilie Day believes in playing it safe: she’s homeschooled, her best friend is her seizure dog, and she’s probably the only girl on the Outer Banks of North Carolina who can’t swim. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children’s music. More than 85 million of her books have been sold, “mostly to friends and family,” she says.

On the other hand Cris lacked that psychological support he could have got from his mother and his emotions are explosively expressed in his mind (he often exclaim to himself "shite" "stars!" and such things expressing fear, doubt or anger). While Paul is rebellious, he is restraining his temper through meditation and mannerism his mother taught him. They are both highly educated children of influential people, they both contain high expectation and are both trained into martial arts by personal instructors that are their only friend. Her character, Cris, isn't trying to be the classic spoiled rebelling teenager you find in YA books, but a replica of Paul, from Herbert's Dune. The way the writer approached the story and her character at the beginning gave me the impression of the book trying to be some Young Adult SciFi-fantasy salad, but once I picked up some clues I'd started putting thing together. She was like an angler using all baits at her disposal to lure the SciFi readers into her hook. It was a fun read not only because of the story itself but especially because of the author. As you listen, you'll gain a greater understanding of how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. Pittman and Karle offer simple, specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping in to both of these pathways in the brain. By comparison the cortex is the center of worry - that is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. In this audiobook you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety, based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research. |
