Healing Shame and Guilt: The Developmental Roots of Chronic Shame and Guilt and How the Neuroaffective Relational Model (Narm) Can Help You Heal and R
An innovative, trauma-informed approach to resolving chronic shame and guilt Shame and guilt are core emotions that can significantly limit our lives: They diminish our capacity for intimacy, trust, and connection. They fuel anxiety. They contribute to relationship struggles and amplify issues at work. And yet, we may not even be aware of the self-shaming habits that cause our distress! In this book, therapists Laurence Heller, PhD, and Stephan K. Niederwieser provide practical tools for identifying and treating chronic shame using the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). Part 1 of the book explains how guilt and shame are not actually emotions, but rather should be seen as experiences that take root in our brains and bodies. Heller and Niederwieser show how shame is learned in childhood and processed as we grow up, emphasizing that shame has nothing to do with who we truly are. Part 2 of the book--designed for therapists and clinicians--provides an in-depth, practical guide for addressing chronic shame using the NARM approach. Originally designed for treating C-PTSD or developmental trauma, NARM identifies and strengthens our core drive for connection and healing. Going far beyond self-affirmations or boosting esteem, the NARM approach to overcoming chronic shame targets the roots rather than just the symptoms, helping us truly shed shame, develop self-confidence, and find inner peace. -
AI Cybersecurity Handbook
An up-to-date exploration of how AI is transforming cybersecurity and how to implement AI in your organization's cyber defenses to meet today's evolving threat landscape
In The AI Cybersecurity Handbook, author Caroline Wong examines AI's impact on both offensive and defensive cybersecurity strategies. Wong explains how artificial intelligence has transformed the way cyberattacks are carried out and how technology professionals prepare for and defend against them.
On the offensive side, the author explores how AI is being used to automate, accelerate, and personalize attacks against targets. She shows you how these technologies make cyberattacks cheaper to carry out, harder to detect, and easier to automate at scale--broadening the impact beyond initial targets to include partners, third parties, and critical connected systems.
For defenders, this book demonstrates how to use AI to evolve past traditional, rules-based cybersecurity defense to an adaptive model that evolves in real-time to counteract emergent risks and novel attack vectors. These new systems rely on continuously updated data inputs and form resilient bulwarks against formidable threats.
Inside the book:
- Hands-on strategies for minimizing operational barriers to AI implementation to enable new capabilities for defenders and allow for the use of powerful tools, like smart data enrichment, AI-powered query engines, and self-initiating security actions
- Up-to-date discussions of how to use AI to accelerate your cybersecurity responses while improving their accuracy, including anomaly detection, threat identification, and dynamic mitigation processes
- Expert advice for building resilient AI-enabled cybersecurity without compromising on AI ethics
Perfect for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, developers and business leaders looking for actionable guidance on the integration of AI into their IT security practices, The AI Cybersecurity Handbook offers accessible strategies well-suited to people with varying levels of technical expertise. It's a must-read book for everyone with a stake in safeguarding digital assets.

Astonishing Lives of Older Women: How to Create Pleasure Over Peril in Peak Longevity
A bold cultural manifesto for a generation of women, and a wake-up call we can't afford to ignore. There is a seismic shift underway in how we think about aging for women -- and Moira Welsh is leading the conversation. But beneath the glossy narrative of "aging well" lies a more complicated truth. In The Astonishing Lives of Older Women, Welsh combines immersive reporting with unforgettable real-life stories to reveal what growing older actually likes like for a massive -- and rapidly expanding -- demographic of women. You'll meet:
- A woman in her 70s forced to live in her car
- A widow navigating love, rejection, and financial insecurity
- A lifelong professional quietly outliving her savings
These stories expose the hidden realities shaping women's later years:
- The gender pension gap
- Rising housing insecurity
- Loneliness, ageism, and invisibility
- The financial cost of caregiving, divorce, and survival
But this isn't just a diagnosis. It's a guide to what comes next. Drawing on insights from a CEO, a legal scholar, and a feminist economist, Welsh offers essential, clear-eyed advice on careers, pensions, financial planning, and relationships. It all underscores a critical truth: financial independence isn't optional. And yet, this is not a story of defeat. As women live longer than ever before, many are redefining what those extra decades can mean: new love, deep friendships, sexual freedom, purpose, and power on their own terms. Part urgent social investigation, part cultural manifesto, The Astonishing Lives of Older Women captures a pivotal moment -- for a massive demographic of women, and for anyone rethinking aging, longevity, and the future of women's lives. -
