Do you have trouble keeping your feelings in check? Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which was first created by Dr. Smith Walker to treat borderline personality disorder, has since been shown to help people with many other mental health issues as well. It can also greatly improve your ability to deal with stress without losing control and acting in harmful ways. But in order to use these methods, you need to get better at four things: being able to handle stress, being aware, controlling your emotions, and getting along with others. This book is for you if your strong feelings are more like depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, fear, or sadness. You can use the life-changing tool to find a set of simple but powerful mindfulness practices that you can use every day to break the cycle of stress, anxiety, unhappiness, and tiredness. The kind of happiness and peace that you feel in your bones comes from being mindful. It changes everything you do and gives you the strength to deal with the worst things that life throws at you. Based on Mindfulness in two weeks (MI2W), the book revolves around a simple form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MI2W has been clinically proven to be at least as successful as drugs for sadness and is generally suggested by US doctors and the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not sad but who are fighting to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world.

"Dr. Smith's book, Discovering Effective Reading Instruction, is a true discovery. He easily explains the reading process and offers solutions and resources that are ready to implement in any classroom. He breaks the reading process down into a step-by-step process that is easy to follow and understand. It takes differentiated reading instruction to the next level as it shows how to find what skills students are missing, how to fill the holes, and move them on to the next level. He takes the hard task of small group instruction and simplifies how to implement it and do it well. This should be in the hands of every classroom teacher as it takes away the teacher guessing and gives them the tools to help every student meet or exceed grade level reading goals." Dawn Kennison-Kerrigan, Instructional Coach"The ideas in Discovering Effective Reading Instruction are easy to apply. It is a great resource for veteran teachers and new teachers alike. I have seen firsthand how a scientific approach to reading builds a strong foundation for all readers but especially those with learning disabilities. Every elementary teacher needs this book!" - Ashley Nicodemus, Kindergarten Teacher and Language Specialist"Discovering Effective Reading Instruction covers so many important reading topics in a way that any teacher (novice or seasoned) should be aware of. Dr. Smith reminds us that reading is not a natural brain function, and simplifies many of the more complex reading skills. He emphasizes the importance of phonological/phonemic awareness as a foundation for later reading instruction, as well as touching on topics such as dyslexia and small-group instruction. The book reads with the tone of a mentor sharing information on the importance of reading instruction." Michelle Raible, Title I Teacher

"Intimate and elemental, rooted in earth, sky and a mystic wisdom, the poems in James Scott Smith's Water, Rocks and Trees are 'hymns of / becoming.'
