The bestselling author of Hold Me Tight presents a revolutionary new understanding of why and how we love, based on cutting-edge research. Every day, we hear of relationships failing and questions of whether humans are meant to be monogamous.

Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our "love sense" -- our ability to develop long-lasting relationships. Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but actually an ordered and wise recipe for survival. Love Sense covers the three stages of a relationship and how to best weather them; the intelligence of emotions and the logic of love; the physical and psychological benefits of secure love; and much more. Based on groundbreaking research, Love Sense will change the way we think about love.

A saga tells of a heroic journey where characters find out who they are, face fear and peril, and with comrades, fight to save their world. The whimsical tales of Edgar & Elouise make up two such sagas. But how do we know - and even change - how we see ourselves? A strangely wise and wordy porcupine seems to be able to tell us And after all, he says, "We all need new stories - new ways to see."There is also, as in most sagas, a monster to defeat. But first, to even turn and face a monster, there are key questions: How do we face our fear? What can we do in the face of overwhelming odds? Sagas are about being human in an uncertain and dangerous world. How do we sculpt an inner strength and strong connections with others, and how can we protect what we love - our frail and magical world? Stories are like magic - they help us survive.

In times of ever-changing healthcare policy, many organizations have developed methods for reforming and optimizing healthcare systems. One prevailing healthcare approach is the Quadruple Aim, which incorporates four different goals: improving population health; improving experience of care; lowering healthcare costs; and improving provider work life (team vitality). Created by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the Quadruple Aim method is not nursing-specific, but its framework for optimizing health system performance is coherent with the nursing profession today. This book argues that the widespread adoption of the Quadruple Aim could help create a sustainable healthcare system. Using the work and legacy of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale, this book provides an early example of successful, holistic healthcare that balances cost-effectiveness with quality of care for both patients and nurses.

This narrative delves into the health and healing practices of indigenous tribes across the United States prior to the arrival of settlers through to the present day. Focused on physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual well-being, the book traces each tribe's origins and their current locations, shedding light on their economic and social issues today. The book explores the impact of interactions with settlers, explorers, and neighboring communities on the health of these tribes then and now. Uniquely, it provides a comprehensive examination of traditional health and healing methods, addressing the repercussions of cultural interactions from early dealings to contemporary times. In a landscape where few works focus on the health aspects of individual tribes, this book stands out by offering a nuanced exploration of the diverse indigenous societies and their evolving health paradigms influenced by interactions with White culture.

This book explores politics and the role it plays in healthcare and our daily lives. Nurses navigate politics when they read a paper, watch the news, explore the internet, and interact with others at home, work, school, church, civic organizations, and volunteer activities. However, many nurses avoid opportunities to engage in politics locally because of the word's current negative connotation. Beginning with a comprehensive look at the birth of our Republic and its founding document, the U.S. Constitution, this book explores the history of our political system and the intersection of politics, healthcare, and nursing from the 1800s to today. Nurses' roles in social challenges, policy development, advocacy, board service, and developing political awareness are highlighted. Nurses who have served in Congress and others who have run for office locally and regionally provide advice for their colleagues who are unsure how, or if, to begin their involvement. It concludes with an in-depth look at the first campaign school exclusively for nurses and the different skills required for advocacy and candidacy. This is not a policy manual or treatise from a political organization. It is designed for all nurses who want the world to be better, but don't know how to begin achieving it. It is an opportunity to explore policy and politics by focusing on what the nurse reader is passionate about and how to best attain his/her goals. Some readers will like the historical perspective; others will be intrigued by social challenges; others will embrace advocacy and/or board service; and still others will value policy involvement. Some nurse readers will enhance their political awareness and participation, with a few entering the political arena. There is something here for every nurse. Nurses must be politically aware and involved to advocate for healthcare changes and policies that will benefit our society. This book will show them how to begin that journey one step at a time.
