Para muchas latinas, la lucha contra la depresión es una batalla que debe pelearse a solas. Por temor a ser tratadas de locas, las latinas muchas veces se niegan a reconocer el impacto negativo que está teniendo la depresión en sus vidas y en sus relaciones con los demás. Así se trate de reconocer y comprender la depresión en sí misma o en una hermana, una prima, o la mejor amiga, Las Siete Creencias abre las puertas de la mejoría de una manera fuerte y poderosa.
En un formato ameno y fácil de leer que combina consejos médicos y sabiduría tradicional, Las Siete Creencias invita a las latinas a que enfrenten la depresión con una actitud firme e investida de poder. Con la ayuda de las cartas y las experiencias de los pacientes que han tratado a lo largo de su carrera como médicos, los autores muestran a sus lectores las diferentes maneras en que pueden tomar sus vidas por las riendas para convertirse en mujeres equilibradas tanto física como emocional y espiritualmente.

Guys Can Be Dogs . . . So consider this book the ultimate BS detector. In today's hookups without-heart society, this brutally honest guide reveals the most common lies boys tell and the truths behind them so you and your friends can separate the good guys from the bad. 'Everyone else is doing it.' 'I won't show anyone these pictures.' 'If we get pregnant, we could take care of it on our own.' Lies like these get lots of girls in trouble, especially when they cast aside their doubts and make poor choices in the heat of the moment. Written by psychologist Belisa Vranich and former Seventeen magazine editor Holly Eagleson, this provocative book sets the record straight with a 'cheat sheet' on what guys lie about, why they lie, and how you can respond. By learning how to react before embarrassing or volatile situations arise, you will be more confident and more likely to enjoy healthier, honest, and more fulfilling relationships. Have You Ever Been Played? Lie #8: I can't wear a condom. Lie #2: Guys are built to cheat. Lie #17: I'll love you forever. Lie #3: You're a slut if you've had sex with lots of guys. Yes, boys lie. But now you and your friends have the anti-get-played book.

Using straightforward jargon-free language, BREATHE presents Dr. Belisa s unique approach to breathing exercises. It is a book for people who are looking to address their fatigue, sleeping problems, anxiety, and stress all of which are worsened by shallow, erratic inefficient breaths and, consequently, suboptimal oxygenation of the body and brain at a cellular level. In addition, the exercises and theory taught in BREATHE will result in better endurance in sports. You ll be taking care of yourself from the inside out. Dr. Belisa s method teaches you to relearn or remember how you used to breathe rather than teach you a skill requiring the attention and motivation that it takes to acquire a new habit. Dr. Belisa asks you put aside ten minutes a day for fourteen days, working from your baseline, and pushing yourself just as you would in a gym or in physical therapy. The result: more energy, less pain, lower cortisol (and control of belly fat), less GI problems, and a better immune system. The explosion of technology, longer hours spent seated at a desk or car, and high levels of daily stress everyone accepts as normal have had a tremendous effect on the way people breathe. This in turn has created or exacerbated medical problems such as high blood pressure, irritable bowel, and insomnia. BREATHE is a primer that covers all the critical core issues related to oxygen, your lungs, and your breathing patterns. It teaches you how to breathe in an anatomically congruous way that maximizes inhales and exhales, lung expansion, and ribcage flexibility. Finally, BREATHE is perfect for someone wanting to explore concepts of mindfulness and meditation. If you are looking to improve such brain functions as focusing and problem solving, or if you just want to relax and rejuvenate by quickly ridding yourself of oxidative stress of the day, this book is for you.
