Unlocking the Doors to College and Career Success provides indispensable guidance to benefit not only current and future college students, but also their parents, teachers, administrators, and other mentors who want to enhance a student's chance of success in college and in life. Authors Arthur G. Sharp and his daughter, Kristine E Barnett, provide the principles and keys to success in the educational process based on their experiences as students, professors, and parents. By reinforcing the importance of such values as hard work, diligence, and integrity, Sharp and Barnett show students how to persevere and succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Unlocking the Doors to College and Career Success includes not only personal anecdotes and inspirational quotes from successful people from different backgrounds and eras; it also shares Sharp and Barnett's professional experiences with other administrators and colleagues. Unlocking the Doors to College and Career Success encourages you to think like a team when it comes to a student's educational accomplishments, and to understand that success is rarely realized based on individual efforts.

Everybody dreams. A clinical psychologist explains dreams to teens within historical, biological, and psychological perspectives. Dreams are meaningful, reflecting events of the previous day, basic motivations, emotions, personality characteristics and memories of the dreamer. Dreams are formed as a result of personal associations of ideas, feelings, and images by a sleeping but not inactive brain. They reflect one's stage of intellectual, emotional, and social development. Dreams are personal; there are no universal meanings. Typical teen dreams are described. The author presents a useful method for collecting and interpreting one's own drams. The use of dream interpretation in psychotherapy is also illustrated. Finally, an action plan is suggested for using dreams for personal growth and self-awareness.

Male Bulimia: My Dark Demon is a powerful, firsthand account of author Scott Simon's triumph over a lifelong deadly disease-bulimia. After developing bulimia while participating in school sports, Scott learned how to hide his disorder. He continued on a downhill slide into drugs, alcohol, and excessive eating. At the age of thirty-two, Scott finally admitted to himself that he needed to make serious changes in his life. Simon explains his childhood years of tough discipline and high expectations, an adolescence of rebellion and isolation, and adult years consumed by multiple addictions and undiagnosed manic-depression. Simon tells his life story not only for bulimics and anorexics, but also for families and friends who are caught up on the emotional roller coaster of dealing with their loved one's eating disorder. Male Bulimia: My Dark Demon is also for mental health professionals who understand the seriousness of bulimia and anorexia and who recognize the growing number of bulimic males. For those people slowly killing themselves with bulimia or anorexia, Scott's story shows that there is hope.

"Several times in your life you will be put "on the spot" and asked one of THOSE QUESTIONS. They are those simple, innocently asked little questions girls ask boys, women ask men...which answers, although the female guarantees are "not important", if wrong, might possibly ignite the most miserable explosion of questions and attitude as only an upset female can unleash. These are the RIGHT ANSWERS and the RIGHT WAY to answer those questions!" A superb understanding of the female mind stated in a practical format. Outlined in chapters which are easy to find, read and understand. Not a book of advice, a culmination of 10 years of research with thousands of men and women. ANSWERS...A HANDBOOK FOR MEN clarifies what women do and do not want to hear. It boldly contradicts centuries of 'bad advice' passed on for generations. * What you should never, ever discuss during or after sex. * When a woman says one thing and MEANS ANOTHER. * Safe ways for men to 'avoid the truth'.
