Praise for Beneath the Neon
“O’Brien writes with a noirish flair, but his compassion is also evident as he illuminates the lives of these shadowy subterranean dwellers.” —Publishers Weekly
Category Social Science / Poverty Release Date October 2020 Price $18.95 ISBN 978-1-949481-42-6 E-book 978-1-949481-43-3 Format 6” x 9”, paperback Page Count 240 pages
Dark Days, Bright Nights Surviving the Las Vegas Storm Drains
Matthew O’Brien
Matthew O’Brien is a journalist, social worker, and the author of Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas and My Week at the Blue Angel. He has a master’s in creative writing from the University of NevadaLas Vegas and a Silver Pen award from the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame.
A vivid and enlightening oral history of homelessness in the Las Vegas storm drains and the hard work of re-entering mainstream society. The hundreds of people living in the flood channels of Las Vegas have provided one of the more fascinating and enduring international stories of the past decade. This underground community has received plenty of news coverage and dramatic portrayals by CSI, Criminal Minds, and the Jason Bourne franchise. But the fact that dozens of tunnel dwellers have clawed their way out of the drains and turned their lives around has received far less attention. Dark Days, Bright Nights is the follow-up to the bestselling Beneath the Neon and shares the harrowing stories of Sin City’s most marginalized people, from bottoming out in homelessness to mending relationships with family and adjusting to jobs, housing, and sobriety. These redemption stories cast light on a rarely seen side of Las Vegas and offer a portrait of homelessness and recovery in America. They are the happy, though not Hollywood, endings to the infamous tunnel tale, documented through stark photographs and unflinchingly honest personal accounts.

“She dedicated herself decades later to telling of the Holocaust horrors spawned by religious and racial hatred, while preaching the power of forgiveness as a means of healing from devastating trauma.” —Richard Goldstein
Category Memoir / Spiritual Release Date January 2021 Price $26.95 ISBN 978-1-949481-44-0 E-book 978-1-949481-45-7 Format 5.5” x 7.5”, hardcover Page Count 200 pages
The Power of Forgiveness Eva Mozes Kor
Eva Mozes Kor was born in 1934 in Portz in the Transylvania region of Romania. After surviving Auschwitz, she moved to the US and lived in Terre Haute, Indiana, where she ran the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center. In 2009, her YA (young adult) book Surviving the Angel of Death became an international bestseller. A community leader, champion of human rights, and tireless educator, Eva has been covered in numerous media outlets and is the subject of a documentary, Eva A-7063. She died on July 4, 2019 in Poland during her annual visit with students to Auschwitz.
Eva Mozes Kor, who had survived the holocaust as a young child, passed away on July 4, 2019, during her annual trip with students to Auschwitz. But Eva’s legacy will live on and so will her life-changing message. Eva Mozes Kor was just ten years old when she was sent to Auschwitz. While her parents and two older sisters were murdered there, she and her twin sister Miriam were subjected to medical experiments at the hands of Dr. Joseph Mengele. Later on, when Miriam fell ill due to the long-term effects of the experiments, Eva embarked on a search for their torturers. But what she discovered was the remedy for her troubled soul; she was able to forgive them. Told through anecdotes and in response to letters and questions at her public appearances, she imparts a powerful lesson for all survivors that guilt, anger, resentment, and shame are a waste of energy. Forgiveness of our tormentors and ourselves is the end of victimization, a release from pain, and fosters resilience. This kind of forgiveness is not an act of self-denial. It actively releases people from trauma, allowing them to escape from the grip of their former tormentors, cast off the role of victim, and begin the struggle against forgetting in earnest.

She and her husband are now parents to four-year-old and threemonth-old girls. She realizes that jobs in her field are scarce, especially for women and decides she needs better credentials to land a job. Overcoming her fear and life-long struggle with inadequacy, Anne moves the family 3,000 miles to New York, where she begins medical school. Within a few months of starting this new life, Anne is in deep trouble. She cannot handle the competing demands and feels isolated. The stress builds, until Anne suffers a series of paralyzing panic attacks that threaten her ability to function. She begins psychotherapy and starts on a journey of self-discovery, realizing she has to change to survive. Cured is the follow-up to her 2016 release Starved and differs from other physician memoirs in its themes of motherhood, mental illness, and the perspective of a female physician on how she turned adversity into a strength and set of skills.

Recovery Skills Manual
An Implementation Guide for Addiction Care
Paul H. Earley, MD, DFASAM
Paul H. Earley, MD, DFASAM, has been an addiction medicine physician for over thirty years and is the current president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. He treats all types of addictive disorders and specializes in the assessment and treatment of healthcare professionals. Currently, he is the Medical Director of the Georgia Professionals Health Program, Inc. and a principal with Earley Consultancy, LLC, a training and consulting firm.
A cohesive addiction treatment model based upon the concept that addiction recovery is a learned skill. A pragmatic, step-by-step guide designed to help practitioners implement RecoveryMind Training (RMT) in outpatient practice (ASAM Level 1), IOP (Level 2.1), Partial Hospitalization (Level 2.5), or Residential program (Levels 3.1 to 3.7). Drawn from the basic concepts found in Paul Earley’s previous book, RecoveryMind Training. In order to be successful using the RecoveryMind Training model, the learning involved in recovery has to overcome the complex and hard-wired entrainment produced by the use of highly reinforcing drugs—including alcohol. RMT describes the dynamics of active addiction with regard to its effects on the brain—motivations, drives, memories, and cognitive distortions—with the term “Addict Brain.” Recovery is facilitated through the learning of a structured set of skills that promote changes in thoughts, beliefs, and actions, and bring about “Recovery Mind.”

Psychologist and best-selling author Charles Garfield shares an uplifting vision as he takes us on a journey of a lifetime Some of the most profound growth of our lives can happen in the home stretch, the years after age sixty or so. It’s a time when we can finally crystallize the meaning of what we’ve been and done so far and fully expand into the self we’ve always intended to be, guided by the voice of the soul. But, says psychologist Charles Garfield, change can only happen if we first loosen the grip of the life we’ve led so far and let our hearts lead the way. Our Wisdom Years is unique among books in the “conscious aging” genre in its understanding of how challenging it can be to make the shift from the ubiquitous values of drive and achievement to the inner orientation that gives richness to later life. Dr. Garfield skillfully and pragmatically guides readers through nine tasks that can transform the struggles of aging, bringing fulfillment, joy, and serenity. We learn that we’re more than our bodies, part of something much larger than we are, and that love and kindness matter most of all.

Pothead
My Life as a Marijuana Addict in the Age of Legal Weed
Neal Pollack
Neal Pollack is the author of 10 previously published books of fiction and nonfiction, including the bestselling memoirs Alternadad and Stretch, and the cult classic The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature. A three-time Jeopardy! Champion and a certified yoga instructor, Pollack lives in Austin, Texas.
A poignantly funny account of renowned author and humorist Neal Pollack’s years as a marijuana addict. Beginning innocently enough in his 20s, Neal Pollack discovers that pot makes everything—food, music, sex—better. Getting married, having a kid, and enjoying professional success do nothing to dampen Pollack’s enthusiasm for getting high. As cannabis grows stronger and more widely available, the expansion and acceptance of marijuana Big Business shadows Pollack’s dependence. By 2014, Neal is a correspondent for a national marijuana newspaper, mostly because it means free pot. Diving into the wild, wicked world of weed with both lungs, Pollack proceeds to smoke, vape, and eat his way to oblivion, leading to public meltdowns and other embarrassing behavior. After his mother dies in 2017, he spirals out of control, finally hitting bottom during a reckless two-day gambling and drug-filled binge, culminating in a public crack-up at the World Series in Dodger Stadium. Three weeks later, he quits. After joining a twelve-step program, Neal outs himself as a marijuana addict in a 2018 New York Times op-ed piece, leading to his decision to document his experience as a cautionary tale for the millions of recreational users in the hazy age of legalized weed.

This is not a how-to-treat depression book. It is meant for clinicians versed in identifying and treating depression within the context of treating addiction. What sets this book apart from other depression workbooks is that it holds a healthy respect for cognitive behavioral modalities while recognizing the role of affective and spiritual interventions related to depressive disorders. In this revised edition, Dr. Black provides didactic information and reproducible handouts. In many of the strategies sections, she presents ideas and formats for structured interventions. The use of handouts in the form of written exercises, checklists, sentence stems, structured dialogues, and/or art activities is an integral part of this therapeutic technique.

Writing the Big Book The Creation of A.A.
William H. Schaberg
William H. Schaberg, is a scholar and rare book dealer based in Fairfield, Connecticut. Schaberg has delivered lectures on Nietzsche, William James, and other philosophers with his mentor King Dykeman at his alma mater, Fairfield University. He has served in the United States Air Force and ran a family printing business for over thirty years before retiring to commit more energy to his bookselling business, Athena Rare Books.
The definitive history of writing and producing the “Big Book” of Alcoholics Anonymous, told through extensive access to the group’s archives. Alcoholics Anonymous is arguably the most significant self-help book published in the twentieth century. Released in 1939, the “Big Book,” as it’s commonly known, has sold an estimated 37 million copies, been translated into seventy languages, and spawned numerous recovery communities around the world while remaining a vibrant plan for recovery from addiction in all its forms for millions of people. While there are many books about A.A. history, most rely on anecdotal stories told well after the fact by Bill Wilson and other early members— accounts that have proved to be woefully inaccurate at times. Writing the Big Book brings eleven years of exhaustive research, academic discipline, and informed insight to the subject not seen since Ernest Kurtz’s Not-God, published forty years ago. Fast-paced, engaging, and contrary, Writing the Big Book presents a vivid picture of how early A.A. operated and grew and reveals many previously unreported details about the colorful cast of characters who were responsible for making that group so successful.

Hill suffered despair and disillusionment with the culture of medicine, culminating in a spiral of depression, alcoholism, and an active suicidal plan. Then while in recovery from active addiction, he lost a colleague to suicide, further revealing the extent of the secrecy and broken systems contributing to an evolving epidemic of professional distress within the medical field. By sharing his harrowing story, Dr. Hill helps identify the barriers and obstacles standing in the way of mental health recovery, while pleading for a revolutionary new approach to how we treat individuals in substance use recovery. In fighting stereotypes/stigma and teaching vulnerability, compassion and empathy, Hill’s work is being lauded as a road map for better practices at a time when medical professionals around the world are struggling in silence.

400 Friends and No One to Call Breaking through Isolation and Building Community
Val Walker
Val Walker is the author of The Art of Comforting: What to Say and Do for Others in Distress (Penguin/ Random House, 2010). Educated in the field of counseling, with a Master of Science degree in rehabilitation counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University, Val has followed her passion for comforting others since facilitating her first support group in 1993. As a grief consultant, speaker, and author, she deeply believes in breaking through the barriers that isolate us by building our confidence as well as our communities.
A friendly, candid, and sensible guide for seeking comfort during isolating times when you have no one to count on. Val Walker has woven into the narrative her own story as a single, fifty-eightyear-old woman who found herself stranded after major surgery. As a wellestablished rehabilitation counselor, she was too embarrassed to reveal on social media how utterly isolated she was by asking for someone to help, and it felt agonizingly awkward calling colleagues out of the blue. As she recovered, Val found her voice and developed a plan of action for people who lack social support, not only to heal from the pain of isolation, but to create a solid strategy for rebuilding support. 400 Friends and No One to Call spells out the how-tos for befriending our wider community, building a social safety net, and fostering our sense of belonging. On a deeper level, we are invited to befriend our loneliness, rather than feel ashamed of it, and open our hearts and minds to others trapped in isolation.

Ending compulsive sexual behavior is just the beginning. Out-of-control sexual behavior results in broken relationships and deep anguish—sometimes even ending in death—and since the 1980s, this growing epidemic has become even more conspicuous in our culture. Drawing on personal and professional experience, psychotherapist Andrew Susskind examines issues such as shame, grief, narcissism, and codependency to demonstrate how people use out-of-control sexual behavior to cope with childhood brokenheartedness and trauma. No one is ever too hurt or isolated to achieve reliable relationships and emotional intimacy. This is a guidebook for every person seeking long-term healing from sex addiction.

My Grandmother’s Hands Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending our Hearts and Bodies
Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP
Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP is a therapist currently in private practice in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in trauma, body-centered psychotherapy, and violence prevention. He has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Phil as an expert on conflict and violence. Resmaa has studied with best-selling authors Dr. David Schnarch, Passionate Marriage and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score. He also trained at Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.
The first self-help book to examine white-body supremacy in America from the perspective of trauma and body-centered psychology. The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. In this groundbreaking work, Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white-body supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. My Grandmother’s Hands is a call to action for all Americans to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but also about the body. Menakem introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.

DISCOVER RECOVERY
Discover Recovery
A Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Workbook
Central Recovery Understanding the recovery process and the issues closely connected to it can be especially confusing for people who are in treatment or new to recovery. Written in a solution-oriented and strengths-based style, Discover Recovery provides comprehensive education and skills-building exercises on critical topics, including the internal, interpersonal, and environmental issues and actions that facilitate as well as obstruct the process of recovery, along with special sections related to trauma and families. The wisdom and spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps and the efficacy of current counseling approaches and mindfulness-based practices are combined to promote conscious awareness of one’s thoughts, improve the capacity to tolerate difficult, painful emotions, and enhance the ability to replace self-defeating behaviors with healthy ways of relating to oneself, to others, and to the world.

Exploring the Twelve Steps Central Recovery This series of 5 ½” x 8 ½” saddle-stitched booklets, ranging from thirty-two to forty-eight pages each, integrates the time-tested wisdom and spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps with current counseling theory and practice approaches. A separate booklet is devoted to each step—for individuals and families, respectively—exploring the meaning of the step and the concepts that are essential to it. FOR INDIVIDUALS Exploring Steps: Guides for Individuals are specific to the needs of individuals wrestling with their own addiction. For example, Step One focuses on being powerless over addiction and details how to examine the unmanageability in one’s life. It discusses addiction as a brain disease and describes the dynamics of obsession, compulsion, and spiritual self-centeredness. These resources have been developed by professionals with extensive experience in the fields of behavioral health and addiction treatment, as well as numerous years of personal recovery.

FOR FAMILIES Exploring Steps: Guides for Families are specific to the needs of family members and significant others. The wreckage left in the wake of the addiction of a family member or significant other exerts a serious health impact on everyone involved in those “systems”—parents, children, siblings, spouses, partners, etc. Because addiction is a family disease, recovery for family members is a critical, yet often underaddressed, aspect of the healing process.
