Geoff Kanofski is not a qualified psychologist. He was encumbered by symptoms of OCD, ADHD, and Tourette Syndrome. At age 33, he discovered how his disorders were functionally linked. This was the beginning of his understanding.Geoff then began to overcome his OCD, which increased his understanding. At 35, he no longer suffered with severe OCD. He then began full-time study. Hard work and tutoring allowed him to complete two years of pre-tertiary study. Then disability concessions enabled him to complete an Undergraduate Degree in Psychology. Eight years of full-time study increased his personal understanding (of this functional link).Then something happened that damaged Geoff's mind. He began to experience episodes of anger and sadness. Understanding how the functional link worked did not help his state of mind. His anger and sadness continued for a long time.At 55, Geoff found a way to heal his mind. His journey enabled him to understand the difference between the brain and mind. His autobiography explains this in fine detail.He finished writing this book when he was 64, and in his final chapter, he provides a hypothesis that is worthy of scientific research.

An anthology of reflections for Teachers dedicated to discipleship in the crucible of education - the classroom. These Christian reflections are derived from wide experience, speaking to the challenges facing Teachers - especially those committed to remaining as they were called.When facing pedagogical challenges, or reconciling polarities in curricula, these reflections can orient you to elements and essentials. Each reflection rests in the brilliance of Jesus' teaching, addressing controversial and confronting issues, as well as ways to cultivate blessing and happiness in your work, your calling.The collection is not a narrative, except insofar as every teacher's life is a narrative. Consistent themes are Christ the Leader, Christ the Teacher, Christ the Guide, pedagogy, valuing students, negotiating managerial and staffroom politics, classroom design and planning, foundations for curriculum, classroom management and discipline, practical designs for teaching and learning, spiritual warfare and how to navigate the difficulties which can antagonise all teachers. The spectrum of capacities required of teachers is extraordinary, because the work is both demanding and amazingly rewarding. Every part of every working day draws on your knowledge of pedagogy, your love for your students, your knowledge of the subjects you teach, your ability to maintain and coordinate multiple relationships - with both luminous and draining people. Being grounded in lived experience helps to make these useful; the working day for a teacher includes late nights of marking and preparation, meetings with parents and managers, school holidays appropriated as 'breaks' by careless administrators who want to control even much-needed rest. This is a book that is on your side, and understands the battles of a teacher's life. It is on your side, because Jesus is. He sees, He knows, He cares about what you are doing. The whole collection begins with the truth that Jesus is the greatest Teacher in the whole of history. Mary the Magdalene called Him 'Rabboni' - 'Master Teacher'.Utilise them in isolation, or in relation to other reflections. Each reflection has its own heading, which helps to identify its core focus. They are written to be helpful; it is my prayer and hope that as you pray and use them, the Holy Spirit will guide, accompany, and direct you. May their application enlarge the Kingdom, and extend the domain of Grace.

Wheels within Wheels is not about the wheels which drive your local bus, but the hidden wheels which have run Sydney's buses for many years:The wheels of politics - because transport has always been influenced by politicians, and not always for the right reasons.The wheels of money - because too often public funds have been spent on unworthy causes.But not all politicians made wrong decisions, and not all money invested in Sydney's buses was wasted.Wheels within Wheels is the history of how Sydney's bus services developed and changed over six decades, including the story of how one bus owner stood up to the government, won five court cases in a row and got the law changed.

With recently discovered information coming to light, the author revisits and presents new stories and pictures illustrating his family's complex genealogy in this reworked edition of the 1992 manuscript 'Life's Race Well Run'. The original concept of 'A Diary of Discovery' has been maintained and the book is now published for the first time.There is a dynasty established by a Foundry owner and his eleven sons who were draftsmen, fitters and turners, machinists, mining engineers and a mercer. They spread worldwide searching for new challenges and in the service of their country. Two elusive grandfathers are eventually tracked down with their fascinating histories and stories revealed. A never before heard of great, great, grandfather is discovered. His seven-year transportation sentence to Van Diemen's Land extends to sixteen years' incarceration at various locations. When he finally gains his ticket of leave and then is emancipated in 1849, he travels to the mainland where his sons and granddaughters link in with the genealogy outlined in the 1992 book. This leads to revelations of more ex-nuptial children and half-brothers that had never been previously known.The exceptional women in the story are not neglected. Their perseverance and endurance is outlined. Aunts, grandmothers, and great grandmothers all have unique tales to tell. They had large families, and many had to face the pain of losing their children to illness, disease, and accidents.Locations where the characters lived and died, religions, occupations, and service in wartime are detailed. The ships, from small sailing ships to luxury ocean liners, on which they travelled are described in detail.Then there is the expanded bloodline genealogy that was never fully explored in the first book. While keeping much of the original material, these new stories open a whole new world of investigating a family history.

The Behemoth is a journey of self-discovery, but will Lucas' desperate attempt to recover and remember cost him everything he's gained in the wake of the terrorist attack?

We are living in exciting times. World peace is something we have all wanted but was seemingly unachievable. Now, however, through a global humanity awakening, our aspiration for a harmonious society is within our reach. Through the irony of paradox, this book theorises that by understanding what we do not want we can establish what we do want. If peace is what we want, surely this can be created by practising the polar opposite of war?Using psychospiritual philosophy and quantum psychology, Susan Broomhall is part of the global community currently co-creating heaven on earth. It is Susan's belief that global peace and harmony and the co-creation of the new humanity is assured - if everyone trusts in themselves as creators of peace.While each individual is contributing to the rich and diverse tapestry of humanity, not everyone understands what this means. This book reveals 'how to' create a harmonic new humanity through the art of peace. World peace starts with you.

You want to do what? Live in solitude next to the rainforest while you find your real self? Do not do this.His rational brain had no idea.The Creek is based on a true story and is about a young man who leaves the Darling River in western New South Wales to live next to the rainforest in South-East Queensland at a place called The Creek.At The Creek, he searches for his real self, the one he thinks will find if he lives in solitude. His self-reflection, his searching, and his day-to-day within this solitude are occasionally beautiful, often mind-bending, and usually way too political. There are big swear words, sexual adventures that may or may not startle you, and possibly too many judgements laid upon those whom he deems not so much as inferiors, just total dickheads. You have all met a few.The building of his house, and the subsequent vegie gardens, are done with limited skills. The genuine guesswork and multiple mistakes are below basic levels of arbitrary. The rainforest descriptions, the bird observations, and the character analyses of the locals are somewhat random and do not follow known patterns, norms or legal requirements needed to partake in civilised society. Thank God. The metaphors are accompanied by solace, the optimism joined by lilting bullshit, and the analogies quaint.After many years at the Creek, and a devastating trauma, he misses the Darling River, but he still wants to hang on to The Creek. What to do? If he returns to the Darling River, will it be enough to soothe the pain? Anyway, how is that search for the real self-going?This story is about an individual on the edge of society, who rarely listens to his rational brain and only occasionally to his emotional brain, and it is about landscape, lust and life itself.

The Eldovian Empire covers an ancient land that has seen the rise and fall of many a dynasty. Now word has begun to spread in the most secret parts of the country that the current Imperial bloodline has little time left...In the rural north, eleven-year-old Rassa is burdened with a secret nature he would do anything to be rid of. His desire to be normal like all his friends seems like a dream most days, and an impossible reality when the gluttonous hunger within him is unleashed at night. His excitement at even the mildest of solutions makes him careless, and the slightest mistake proves fatal for more reasons than one.In the mightiest Ducal House of the Empire, thirteen-year-old Aegin trains to be the perfect servant, spy and assassin, just like his father. But his curiosity holds him back at the best of times even when his physical skills are a bar above the rest. When given a mission despite his youth, he knows that he needs to prove himself, or lose the faith of those he looks up to.When the two boys meet, their individual masks are beginning to slip, but can the two recognise the similarities in each other's plights before their masks crumble for all to see the monsters within?

Turn it Up! is part-memoir of my time as a musician and journalist, and part-pop history, examining some of the unsung or more interesting bands which I have connected with in some way since I began listening to the radio as a kid.It begins with my first concert experience as a thirteen-year-old watching Ike and Tina Turner. I then revisit the records that impacted on me as a young teenager and the music that spurred me on to play myself when I was older. I weave in and out of my chequered progress in music, while pausing now and then to shine a light on the way rock music evolved in the eighties and nineties. The mood is studious and knowledgeable but also light and comedic as I revisit some of my more eventful interviews I conducted with acts such as Bjork, Nirvana and Pulp. Throughout the book I detail the way my own bands became successful, but not quite successful enough, and detail the various catastrophes which may have contributed to that. I introduce the reader to some of the more eccentric characters I have met through music, from Lenny the Launceston punk, who burned down his own shop accidentally, to Kevin Shields from the band My Bloody Valentine who took 55 minutes to answer one question I'd put to him. The book is not dissimilar to Giles Smith's Lost In Music, but that book is very much of the UK in the '80s, and doesn't examine the strange dynamic between the interviewer and the interviewee, which can veer between both parties wishing they were doing something else, to a more edgy encounter where the possibility of a 'scoop' gets the blood rushing. The book ends with some reflections on why music can be the most constant and loved companion in our lives. Turn It Up! is 55 000 words long.

Beachside Como and South Perth in the 1950s and 60s - the time and place of my early life. Then, even more than now, Perth''s remoteness gave its citizens a distinctive independent spirit.To guide you to that distant time and place, I write as wholeheartedly as I can - of Perth, the city of my youth, as well as the events, people, songs and movies that moulded me. That said, the biggest influence in the making of this Perth boy was my dad. So this memoir is as much his as mine.In my dad''s bleak childhood in Northern Ireland, family life and family love were absent. Sadly, such emotional harshness fractured his self-belief.Like boys the world over, I copied my dad to be loved by him. And in my case, as I grew, I soaked up dad''s repressed childhood anxieties. Eventually, they became a persistent, unwanted inner voice telling me I wasn''t good enough. As a young man, finding and then grappling with the source of my deep insecurity became a relentless quest. And yet, as you will read, it was because of that personal struggle that I discovered a way to admire and accept my dad as he was.

In this modern day tale of broken moral compasses, Frances Brennan, a successful highflying lawyer, and Gino Rossi, a reformed crim, carry the two lead characters on a journey with their respective views on life and the afterlife, making use of their protective dogmas as their drivers. Their protagonist and antagonist roles appear to reverse as they each encounter some of life''s serious crossroads.  Despite their abiding respect and affection for each other, the two become perilous foes, who use mentors and external creeds to justify their own deep convictions. Armed with these convictions, Frankie and Gino choose their separate courses of action, all wrapped-up in serious ethical dilemmas, right through to the thrilling end, when the line blurs between social justice and social carnage. Ethically adrift, Frankie and Gino manage to re-purpose their opposing understandings of God to suit their conflicted consciences and behaviour. Values and principles narrow to a single purpose. While maybe not as extreme, the novel echoes ethical dilemmas we''ve all faced, or may face sometime in our lives. It will challenge readers and stimulate discussion and debate about what keystones we use to sort right from wrong, and how difficult it can be sometimes to distinguish between the two.  It leads us all to consider how and why at times we do the right thing for the wrong reason, and sometimes the wrong thing for the right reason. Not stuffy or highbrow, this book is for thinkers in the general community, as well as fiction lovers, thriller readers, faith holders, legal professionals, and even senior high school students.
