One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware

Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla find herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.
But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death.
A fast-paced, spellbinding thriller rife with intrigue and characters that feel so true to life, this novel proves yet again that Ruth Ware is the queen of psychological suspense.About the author

An Enchanting Case of Spirits By Melissa Holtz
https://amzn.to/3W2Ko2s
When a fortieth birthday celebration leads to a ghostly visitor, four friends find themselves navigating surprising mysteries and spiritual hijinks, in this clever debut from Melissa Holtz.
Alyssa Mann isn’t adventurous, not since her husband died and she found herself the single mom of a teenage daughter. But there’s no way to avoid celebrating the big 4-0, so when her best friends drag her out for drinks and a tarot reading, she throws caution to the wind and decides to see what the spirits have to say. It’s all fun and games, until she wakes up the next morning with a wicked hangover—and a ghost perched on the edge of her bed.
Sheer panic sends her running to get help from Nick West, the (very attractive) detective who lives next door. When he finds no one inside, Alyssa has to accept that she really did see a ghost. As the dearly departed keep appearing, Alyssa and her friends do their best to learn how to control her newfound power. Trading insults with ghosts, tracking down family heirlooms, and getting closer to the skeptical but helpful Nick is more fun than Alyssa imagined. But when looking into one ghost’s past reveals unexpected—and unwelcome—facts about Alyssa’s late husband’s death, she discovers she just may be in over her head.

Where Do We Go From Here?: Helping Adoptive Parents Guide Their Children Through Trauma & Into Positive Safe Relationships™ by Scotty Aemis
https://amzn.to/4cYHx0r
Childtraumasherpa.com
Are you feeling hopeless and lost in a maze of parenting decisions? Are you and your family struggling with the behaviors of your adopted child? Does it seem like they are out of control and acting out at school and home? This book will offer you hope and rekindle the gratitude you had when you first began this journey. The paradox is that everything we’ve been taught, or might logically think, doesn’t work with the trauma adoptive kids experience. Our instincts are to try harder, push harder, and “solve” the problem. But, in fact, the opposite is true. Instead of “fixing” the problem, we need to look at creating a supportive environment in which your child can heal. “What I learned is that the way forward is available if parents are provided the resources, support, and information they need in order to make good decisions for their kids. I am dedicated to support fellow parents who are on a similar journey because all children have the right to live lives of purpose and significance as God intended.” -

Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age by Norman Ohler
https://amzn.to/3PWxLlE
The author of the New York Times bestseller Blitzed returns with a provocative new history of drugs and postwar America, examining the untold story of how Nazi experiments into psychedelics covertly influenced CIA research and secretly shaped the War on Drugs.
Berlin 1945. Following the fall of the Third Reich, drug use—long kept under control by the Nazis’ strict anti-drug laws—is rampant throughout the city. Split into four sectors, Berlin's drug policies are being enforced under the individual jurisdictions of each allied power—the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the US. In the American zone, Arthur J. Giuliani of the nascent Federal Bureau of Narcotics is tasked with learning about the Nazis’ anti-drug laws and bringing home anything that might prove “useful” to the United States.
Five years later, Harvard professor Dr. Henry Beecher began work with the US government to uncover the research behind the Nazis psychedelics program. Begun as an attempt to find a “truth serum” and experiment with mind control, the Nazi study initially involved mescaline, but quickly expanded to include LSD. Originally created for medical purposes by Swiss pharmaceutical Sandoz, the Nazis coopted the drug for their mind control military research—research that, following the war, the US was desperate to acquire. This research birthed MKUltra, the CIA's notorious brainwashing and psychological torture program during the 1950s and 1960s, and ultimately shaped US drug policy regarding psychedelics for over half a century.
Based on extensive archival research on both sides of the Atlantic, Tripped is a wild, unconventional postwar history, a spiritual sequel to Norman Ohler’s New York Times bestseller Blitzed. Revealing the close relationship and hidden connections between the Nazis and the early days of drugs in America, Ohler shares how this secret history held back therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades and eventually became part of the foundation of America’s War on Drugs.About the author
Norman Ohler is an award-winning German novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. He spent five years researching Blitzed in numerous archives in Germany and the United States, and spoke to eye-witnesses, military historians, and doctors. He is also the author of the novels Die Quotenmaschine (the world's first hypertext novel), Mitte and Stadt des Goldes (translated into English as Ponte City). He was co-writer of the script for Wim Wenders' film Palermo Shooting. -

Being Human and Waking Up: A therapist's guide for psychotherapy clients and enlightenment seekers by Jonathan Eric Labman LPC
https://amzn.to/3vJD3dg
No one teaches us how to deal with being a human being: how to separate true thoughts from false ones, how to feel and label our emotions, how to track the source of our emotions to discover whether the emotions are useful or useless, and how to interpret the flood of physical sensations that constantly inundate us. Few parents know how to cope with their own thoughts and feelings, so they don't teach their children to do the same. As people, we often end up confused and dismayed. Once we embark on a psychological and/or spiritual journey to healing, wholeness, and better functioning, life can become even more complicated: what is this Awareness or Consciousness that the mystics of all traditions talk about? Among the avalanche of teachings and teachers available, how do we discover a path for us?
This book is the refinement of 23 years' experience, from a therapist and teacher of spiritual awakening, to summarize how to heal and wake up spiritually. Its purpose is to guide readers, therapy clients, and spiritual aspirants along a clean, simple and clear path to psychological integration, effective living, spiritual awakening and enlightenment. - Laat meer zien
