Tell Me Why, Mummy

Tell Me Why, Mummy

David Thomas

HarperCollins
2008
nidottu
The inspirational true story of one man overcoming enormous odds – including sexual abuse from his alcoholic mother – to choose his own path in life and become a truly exceptional human being. From the age of four David Thomas was sexually abused by his alcoholic mother and subsequently physically abused by his aged stepfather. By the age of 16 he had committed multiple burglaries, assaulted a police officer with an iron bar, attempted suicide, received a criminal conviction from a juvenile court, and been expelled from school. He left home as soon as he could and joined the fire service at 20. At the age of 27 he bought a book on memory. Within 8 months he had come fourth in the World Memory Championships and went on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history, even breaking an 18-year-old Guinness Book of Records memory record by reciting the mathematical formula Pi (3.1459) to 22,500 digits from memory. In 1999 he was reunited with his mother after 4 years apart but tragically, a year later he found her dead at home after she had died of an alcohol induced heart attack. David's shocking and moving story is one of abuse, alcoholism, courage, determination, forgiveness, love and how everyone can choose their own path through life irrespective of their upbringing, background or perceptions about what they think is possible. David is an incredible example of how this can happen.

Naturalism and Social Science

Naturalism and Social Science

David Thomas

Cambridge University Press
1980
sidottu
This 1979 text addresses the ways in which the dominant theories in large areas of Western social science have been subject to strong criticisms, particularly of their supposed philosophical deficiencies. In the philosophy of science, this resulted in empiricist views being replaced by an emphasis on the potential obstinacy of theory in the face of the empirical world. After introducing this contemporary philosophy of science, Dr Thomas uses it to argue that social study can both retain the natural scientific commitment to the constraint of the external world and assimilate the sorts of philosophical criticisms that were made of the old social scientific theories. In particular, he shows that social study understood in terms of the new philosophy of science can give an account of the former's distinctive concerns with issues of the meaning and value of social life. Dr Thomas supports his abstract arguments by detailed case studies.

The Ethics of Human Development Training Program

The Ethics of Human Development Training Program

David Thomas

Fifty-Six Street Press
2021
nidottu
The Ethics of Human Development Training Program is detailed in this book. The purpose of the program is one, to teach the ethics of human development and two, to build ethical cultures within organizations. What are the ethics of human development? They are the rules that guide us as we attempt to promote growth in ourselves while also serving the organizations and communities of which we are a part. The ethics of human development could be called the ethics of personal responsibility, the ethics of self-actualization, the ethics of teamwork and collaboration. By whatever name, they are the ethics by which we educate, mature and enlighten ourselves. An ethical culture is a culture continuously in the process of minimizing its self- destructiveness (fraud, libel, theft, negligence, abuse, etc.) while at the same time maximizing its prospects for survival and success. It is a culture actively involved in supporting the ethical growth and development of its members. This book defines and clarifies the ethics of human development while also providing the tools and processes integral to building ethical organizational cultures. Hopefully, it can be of use to individuals, teachers, trainers and human resource personnel interested in providing ethics of human development training in their organizations and classrooms. "... higher than the life of art is the art of life. And ethics is the lore of the art of life." (Will Durant) The ethics of human development are a part of that lore, fundamental to it, I believe. My hope is that this training program can be of benefit in significant ways to the individuals and organizations that are drawn to it.

Right Livelihood: The Twelve Ethics of Work

Right Livelihood: The Twelve Ethics of Work

David Thomas

David Thomas, PhD
2020
nidottu
In Right Livelihood, a young man learns from his beloved Uncle the ethics of right livelihood. The young man learns how to work in accord with what his Uncle calls human logic, the logic by which we educate, mature and enlighten ourselves. To work in accord with human logic, contends the Uncle, is to serve both the workplace and the individual over the long run. Economist E.F. Schumacher said that work exists for the refinement of character. Right Livelihood presents twelve ethics that together constitute an elaborated work ethic. When embraced, these ethics further the refinement character while also furthering effective and creative involvement with the organization or workplace. This small book is ideal for high school seniors, college and university students, organizational development specialists, human resource personnel and others interested in how best to operate in the workplace. Lest there be any confusion, however, the ethics discussed in Right Livelihood are not only for those about to enter the world of work, but also for those well established in their work life.

Relaxation and the Pursuit of Wellbeing

Relaxation and the Pursuit of Wellbeing

David Thomas

David Thomas, PhD
2020
nidottu
The purpose of this book is twofold: first, to teach "profound relaxation," an extremely useful skill and for most people, an easy one to learn; and second, to discuss "differential relaxation", the relaxation of everyday life.The first two chapters focus on profound relaxation. Their purpose is to teach you to relax deeply-body and mind-in a single session of fifteen to twenty minutes. Like meditation, profound relaxation is considered an anti-stress response as it leads to an overall calming or quieting of the nervous system. In addition to profound relaxation, this book-beginning with Chapter 3-introduces the notion of differential relaxation, what might be called the "at ease with yourself" mode of relaxation. Differential relaxation is not so much a skill as it is a way of being and doing. It means: Using only the tension and energy required to perform a given act properly, not over-doing and not forcing. Perhaps the most important question posed by this book is: How do you deal with the issues, situations, and factors that bring tension and anxiety into your life, the factors that threaten your wellbeing? This book provides exercises for identifying those factors and a strategy for addressing them. However, there are no quick fixes. Wellbeing is a journey. This book will help you with the path forward. Relaxation and the Pursuit of Wellbeing is designed for use by individuals, but can also be of use to therapists, counselors, and trainers when working with individuals or groups interested in reducing the tension and anxiety operating in their lives.

'How well do you know your wife, Mr Crookham?' Peter Crookham is delayed in traffic on his way home to dinner with his wife, Mariana, and his journalist brother, Andy. He arrives back to a bloodbath: his brother is dead - covered in knife wounds - and his wife, in a near-catatonic state, is bathed in blood. Convinced Mariana is incapable of murder, Peter vows to discover what happened and clear her name. But he is forced to question his conviction when he discovers what Andy was secretly investigating prior to his death - Mariana's past. In search of answers, Peter must visit the former East Berlin, Mariana's childhood home. But all he can glean is that Mariana's mysterious past is somehow linked to the then East German security service, the STASI. Interleaved with Peter's story is that of a man present in East Germany in the late 1970s. This elusive, nefarious figure appears to be the connection, the piece of the jigsaw to put everything in place - a man who it seems was affiliated with the STASI. But this man, Peter will discover, is more than that. Much more. And so is Mariana Crookham. Blood Relative is an atmospheric page-turner that brings the often-grim realities of Socialist Berlin to life. A murder mystery-come-psychological thriller with a dark underlying mystery, it grips you tight and keeps you guessing until the very last page.
