This book is about the fictitious Seeker, who has known a lot of misery, and his visit to the “Library of Wisdom” where he meets another fictitious character – the Librarian- along with Warren Buffett and Charles Munger. The Seeker learns how to make better decisions to help his children avoid doing the dumb things he has done. For instance, he learns from Buffett and Munger the best way to prevent trouble is to avoid it altogether by learning what works and what does not. They do so in the spirit of the anonymous man who said: “All I want to know is where I’m going to die so I’ll never go there.” Additionally, the book provides examples of pure folly and some lessons on how to make fewer dumb mistakes than other people. And then how to fix mistakes faster, should you make them. The major lesson is “ignorance removal” and the notion that decision-making is not about making brilliant decision, but avoiding terrible ones. This is not a book for those who like complexities or advanced math – rather it’s for those who love efficiency, simplicity and common sense or judgment – hallmarks of Buffett and Munger. Like Einstein, both have a remarkable ability to eliminate folly and superficiality and get directly to the heart of things. As with Poor Charlie’s Almanack, Seeking Wisdom, A Few Lessons and The Most Important Thing, net proceeds from sales of All I Want To Know Is Where I’m Going To Die So I’ll Never Go There will be donated to charitable, non-profit organizations.

New updated emotions illustrations! Inclusivity and representation of all learners are important to us! We are pleased to announce that we have included a more diverse representation of characters within our Zones emotions illustrations throughout the 2021 printing of the curriculum book. While eight characters can’t possibly embody all the spectrum of humanity, we hope that learners see glimpses of themselves and those they know among this new cast. The Zones of Regulation: A Curriculum Designed to Foster Self-Regulation and Emotional Control This popular, easy-to-use regulation framework and award-winning curriculum teaches strategies for managing emotions and sensory needs to children, students, and clients ages 4+. Rooted in cognitive behavioural therapy, The Zones framework uses four colours to help individuals identify how they are feeling in the moment given their energy, emotions, and level of alertness, creating a coloured system to guide them to metacognitive strategies and tools to support regulation. By understanding how to read their bodies, detect triggers, think about the social context, and consider their reactions, individuals learn how to increase their ability to regulate their emotions, manage their sensory needs, and become more self-aware and skilful problem solvers. Activities and reproducible handouts and visuals are included in the curriculum along with instructions for digital access. All products which extend teaching about The Zones of Regulation require the use of this curriculum to teach with fidelity. What are the Four Zones of Regulation? Feelings come in different sizes, intensity, and levels of energy. To make this easy to talk and think about, we can categorize them into four simple, coloured categories that we call Zones of Regulation. The Blue Zone describes low levels of energy and down feelings, such as when we feel sad, tired, sick, or bored. The Green Zone describes when we feel calm energy and in control. We might feel

“Tics” is a manual for treating children from 7-13 years with tics and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. The manual consists of a set, containing the Therapist Manual and the Workbook for Children. The Therapist Manual provides therapists with step by step information and enables them to make notes of each session. The Workbook for Children can be used by children in a behavioural therapy setting. A Workbook for Parents can be downloaded free of charge (PDF document). Two behavioral treatment methods are described in this protocol: Exposure and response prevention and Habit reversal. Both habit reversal (HR) and exposure and response prevention (ER) are recommended as first-line interventions for children and adults according to the Canadian and European Guidelines. Exposure and response prevention target all the tics at once. By suppressing tics for a substantial amount of time, a child is given the opportunity to tolerate the unpleasant premonitory sensory phenomena (tic-alerts), which often precede a tic and subside once a tic has been expressed. During the sessions of habit reversal, each tic is tackled separately by becoming aware of the tic and then learning a competing response that prevents the tic. Additional interventions include developing strategies to manage remaining tics and relaxation exercises, and the manual ends with a relapse prevention plan. Parents are involved in the treatment: they record tics daily, practice together with their child and help improve the child’s awareness.

Understanding Earth s most fascinating natural resource: books about wood usually come from one of two very opposite poles: there are either craftoriented books filled mainly with pretty pictures, but with very weak or vague data, or there are thinly veiled scientific books, filled with an overabundance of data: burying the uninitiated in microscope images and confusing terminology. This book hopes to selectively bring together the best of both worlds: written from a craftsperson s perspective, it also seeks to glean the wealth of scientific knowledge and bring it into practical reach for woodworkers everywhere. Over 350 woods covered. 100 plus fullpage profiles. 100 plus halfpage profiles for lesscommon woods. Guides for distinguishing lookalike woods. Detailed identification data and strength properties.
