When examining modern ideas about the process of aging in terms of female beauty, people are likely to find a rather dichotomized set of camps. Some posit that women should embrace the process, allowing themselves to find new ways to look and feel beautiful. Others focus on the availability of advanced treatments and steps that can be taken to minimize the signs of aging. These issues are central to a new book published by a pair of mental health professionals who were once models themselves. Discussing the psychological impact that feelings about aging can have on women, the work promotes the use of counseling and other services in tandem or instead of a reliance on specialty products.

As scores of issues involving rejection, from difficulty in securing a job to denied lines of credit or foreclosed homes, are breaking into the lives of people throughout the United States and around the world, many may feel confused about their rejection or may develop elaborate and unnecessary reactions. A recent editorial published online, however, reminds those facing rejection that the subsequent opportunity to receive feedback can be a very powerful tool for achieving positive change. Though asking for feedback can be difficult, the author notes, it can lead to remarkable discoveries about oneself that ultimately hold the power to make future successes all the more enjoyable.

While suicide is often thought of as a rare if regrettable occurrence, statistics have shown in the past few years that the issue is actually one of the leading causes of death within the United States, and is the second most prominent killer of people aged fifteen to twenty four. An editorial recently published by a prominent psychology specialist discusses the need for helping at-risk people and their families understand that assistance is available, even in the most seemingly dire of circumstances. Through promoting suicide hot lines and creating greater awareness of therapy, the specialist argues, suicide may retreat from the front lines of mental and emotional difficulties in the years to come.

I write this on the heals of just having driven to Flagstaff, AZ, an attempt to “wind down,” my soul craving down time, rest, and moments of pure “nothingness.” Yet, I notice my anxiety increasing, for my ego is not happy with me. In fact, it is seething. It doesn’t want to sit. It doesn’t want stillness. In fact, I have noticed, of late, that its internal chatter has become more persistent, attentive, and even petulant at moments. I don’t seem to notice my ego peering over my shoulder, examining the book I’ve read, The Shift, by Wayne Dyer; it arrived from Hay House Publishers for my review.
