Your gremlin is the sleazy master of misery lurking in the shadows of your mind. He's got nothing good to say about you. He'll sap your health, destroy your relationships, dampen your creativity, and squelch your productivity. Just when you feel you've out-maneuvered him, he changes his strategy. Grapple with him and you lose. What he hates is simply being noticed. That's the first step to his taming. Rick Carson's foundational book "Taming Your Gremlin" (1983, revised 2003) has helped more than 200,000 people combat the ugly inner voice that says, 'You don't deserve to enjoy life.'Now, Rick takes us to the next level by revealing new ways to escape the murky terrain of the Mind, where our gremlin hides with booby-trap thoughts and old reels from the past, and access the Natural You - a place of clear feelings, friendly curiosity, and pure potential that we inhabited at birth with all good things before us. Rick shares his powerful I Create method: 7 keys for creating rewarding relationships with people, projects and ourselves - all stuff our gremlin loves to mess with. With his laid-back, yarn-telling style, Rick helps gremlin-tamers at all levels give gremlins less than the time of day.

James Pinocchio wakes up in the back of a New York City taxi with a combination lock piercing his left ear and no idea how it got there, or what the combination is. The following day, his wealthy parents decide they've had enough, and they send him off to Sleepy Hollow, the famous rehab facility in Upstate New York. While there, Mr. Pinocchio meets all sorts of Fascinating Characters, one more Unbelievable and Amazing than the next, and they challenge him to confront his Deepest, Darkest Fears. The experience leads Mr. Pinocchio to the very edges of despair, but at a critical juncture he finds hope in the arms of a Bad Woman.The love affair ends tragically, alas, and, like many parts of Mr. Pinocchio's story, stretches credibility to the breaking point, but the harrowing adventure -- which involves a great deal of pain, a smattering of dirty sex, and endless amounts of girlish crying -- eventually leads to Redemption and Healing. But not for Mr. Pinocchio

Thrill of a Romance It's different when you have hiccups. Everything is--so many glad hands competing for your attention, a scarf, a puff of soot, or just a blast of silence from a radio. What is it? That's for you to learn to your dismay when, at the end of a long queue in the cafeteria, tray in hand, they tell you the gate closed down after the Second World War. Syracuse was declared capital of a nation in malaise, but the directorate had other, hidden goals. To proclaim logic a casualty of truth was one. Everyone's solitude (and resulting promiscuity) perfumed the byways of villages we had thought civilized. I saw you waiting for a streetcar and pressed forward. Alas, you were only a child in armor. Now when ribald toasts sail round a table too fair laid out, why the consequences are only dust, disease and old age. Pleasant memories are just that. So I channel whatever into my contingency, a vein of mercury that keeps breaking out, higher up, more on time every time. Dirndls spotted with obsolete flowers, worn in the city again, promote open discussion.
