I Have Not Picked Up My Dinosaurs Yet Today: A Personal Account of Life with Depression-Anxiety Disorder
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Helene Meyer grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating from Washington University with a BA, majoring in English and Spanish, she began a long teaching career in both private and parochial schools. All along, Helene struggled with her own private hell: waging a battle against depression and anxiety disorder. Ashamed to admit to anyone that she had these mental and emotional problems, she decided to write down all she had experienced.
Using new emotional/mental strength, Helene wanted to reach out to others who suffer from these devastating illnesses. Instead of doing so by writing autobiographically, Helene chose to use theatrically-styled readings based on her own life. These readings can be done in mental care settings by social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists or among families and friends who want to overcome the stigma of mental illness. In 2011, Helene founded an NPO called “Slaying Dragons” whose mission is to destroy the stigma of mental illness through theater. The website is www.slayingdragons.org. She hopes many people and organizations will reach out to “Slaying Dragons” performances to help those in need. The impact of these readings are overwhelming.
According to Dr. Collins Lewis, professor emeritus from Washington University, this book will help many people who suffer from depression and anxiety.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to “Slaying Dragons” to help destroy the stigma of mental illness. -

For those new to the trail, or who have never hiked long distances, this is a glimpse into the wonders and excitement out there to be discovered, as told by just one of the many thousands of past thru-hikers. The book contains three parts with 26 chapters and reads like a journal log, capturing my challenges and experiences each day on the trail. In addition to the 240 pages of text, there are over 100 beautiful color photos, 6 figures and 6 charts. Hopefully you will find this book both informative and entertaining, as you read and enjoy my tales of 150 days of discovery on the Appalachian Trail!

La travesía a Hangtown Haven
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Cómo un grupo de voluntarios comprometidos liderados por un ingeniero aeroespacial retirado construyó un refugio para personas sin hogar en una comunidad de la ebre del oro y cómo la élite nanciera y del poder lo cerró. ¿Fue porque Hangtown Haven fue un éxito inesperado?
¿Cómo se puede construir un refugio exitoso para personas sin hogar que sea legal, práctico y económico sin costo para el contribuyente? Un grupo de voluntarios sin hogar liderados por un ingeniero aeroespacial retirado junto con corporaciones sin nes de lucro e iglesias preocupadas se lanzaron a la refriega e hicieron precisamente eso. Pero no sin cometer errores y correr riesgos por el camino. Nadie podría haber predicho lo controvertido que sería brindar refugio a nuestros vecinos que no tenían un lugar donde vivir. “Vamos a construir un refugio para perros moderno con $7 millones, pero no se molesten en pedirle al condado o a la ciudad ni un centavo para ayudar a nuestros ciudadanos
sin hogar”.
Entonces, la verdadera pregunta es: “¿Cómo se construye un refugio para personas sin hogar que funcione y sea aceptable para toda la comunidad sólo con donaciones?” Este libro cuenta la historia del esfuerzo de una comunidad de la Sierra para responder esta pregunta y cómo su éxito demostró que se podía hacer; sin embargo, su éxito también puso al poder de la ciudad en su contra.
Cuando se hizo evidente que el refugio era un éxito y que las personas sin hogar prosperaban, la estructura de poder de la ciudad se unió y lo cerró, expulsando a cuarenta hombres y mujeres sin hogar de su refugio en medio del invierno sin un lugar donde vivir.
Pero el genio ya ha salido de la botella y los ocupantes de este pequeño pueblo minero de oro saben cómo hacerlo la próxima vez. Están dispuestos a intentarlo de nuevo hasta tener éxito, aunque todos los intereses empresariales, políticos y de poder estén decididos a impedirlo. Esta historia cuenta cómo se hizo, cómo se puede hacer y cómo evitar errores graves en el camino.
