This new edition of a best-selling guide incorporates significant advances in the early and later rehabilitation of neurologically impaired patients. Based on the Bobath concept, Davies' approach to rehabilitation stresses the need to equip the patient for a full life, rather than setting arbitrary goals for functioning in a sheltered environment. Activities are described for correcting abnormal movement patterns and facial difficulties. Ways to regain walking, balance and other normal movement sequences are explained and demonstrated with 750 photographs of patients being treated.

Pages : 175
Book Description
Do you ride the escalator-or take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world"-one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end-and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go. How do successful people stay focused and achieve results? This lively and insightful guide presents a simple program for taking the stairs-that is, for overcoming the temptations of quick fixes and procrastination, conquering creative avoidance, and transcending personal setbacks in order to tackle the work that leads to real success. Whatever your goals are, Rory Vaden's proven approach will get you there-one stair at a time.

Book Description
Writing poetry is not easy but these poems were an indicator that we have no idea what God can unlock, and do in us, when we have a willing heart. The poems in this book have been written in an amazing array of situations and feelings—some up and some down, some critical and some not and at different seasons and different events! The author has written poems about many things—his family and his circumstances. Many are written about his wider (Christian) family and about where he has stood in his Christian experience (good and bad)! He has now had the opportunity, in the middle of self-isolation and the coronavirus, to read over them again and put them into book form.

Three Simple Steps
Author: Trevor G Blake
Publisher: BenBella Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1936661721
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
How many self-help books are written by authors whose biggest success is selling self-help books? Three Simple Steps is different. Despite stock market crashes, dot-com busts, and the specter of recession, the author started a virtual company from home, using a few thousand dollars of his savings. A few years later, without ever hiring an employee or leaving his home office, he sold it for more than $100 million. As the economy slipped into another free fall, he did this again with a company in a different field. He accomplished this through no particular genius. Rather, he studied the habits of the many successful men and women who preceded him, and developed three simple rules that, if followed diligently, virtually ensure success. Using them first to escape poverty, then to achieve a life of adventures, he finally turned them toward financial independence. Written in a straightforward and no-nonsense style, Three Simple Steps shows you how to take back control of your destiny and reshape your mind for increased creativity, serenity and achievement. While building on the wisdom of great thinkers and accomplished individuals from East and West, Three Simple Steps isn't a new age text or guide to esoteric fulfillment. Rather, it's a practical guide to real-life achievement by a pragmatic businessman who attributes his incredible successes to these very simple ideas. Three Simple Steps is a must-read guide for everyone who wants to achieve more, live better and be happier.

Pages : 224
Book Description
First published in 1998, Following Through shines a spotlight into the black hole in inner space where good intentions disappear. It reveals the startling reason why even people who are truly serious about making life-improving changes often fail. Although we often blame poor follow through on not having enough motivation, willpower, self-discipline or character, Levinson and Greider argue that the real culprit is the mixed-up way the human mind designed. The mind, they insist, simply isn't hard-wired for follow-through. And as much as we -- individuals, society, and especially the self-improvement industry -- like to pretend otherwise, good intentions do not automatically drive our behavior. And continuing to expect them to will only lead to disappointment, frustration and failure. But Following Through won't leave you discouraged. It will show you how facing the truth about what it really takes to consistently turn your good intentions into life-improving action can change everything for the better. It will teach you bold new strategies for getting yourself to do whatever you intelligently decide you should do. For customer reviews, please see listings for previous editions of Following Through.
