Full PreFrontal: Exposing the Mysteries of Executive FunctionEp. 176: Taylor Chesney, Psy.D. - Raising Well-Adjusted ChildrenSend us a textIn 2002, American writer Augusten Burroughs’ memoire, Running with Scissors, was launched and spent eight weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The memoir is littered with a litany of bizarre childhood encounters experienced by young Burroughs, whose emotionally unstable, aspiring poet of a mother sends him to live with her psychiatrist. The book, while entertaining, captures the confusion and pain of growing up in a household with no rules, no boundaries, and no guidance. Our good faith effort to raise well-adjusted, emotionally balanced and psychological-wise children and teens is far too often me...

It ends with her building both successful businesses and a loving family, seeking and occasionally finding peace through yoga, writing and therapy.
Duke's distinctive voice shines through the messy dysfunction, as she learns that good people can do bad things, and vice versa. And how to take control of your narrative and rebuild your memories from a place of healing and understanding. The book, laced with humor and insight...

Le storie e le avventure narrate all’interno del romanzo sono ispirate ad eventi realmente accaduti all’autore, ma largamente romanzati e rivisitati in chiave comica. La famiglia a cui si è ispirato Burroughs per il suo memoir lo ha addirittura citato in giudizio per diffamazione, invasione della privacy, e volontario infliggimento di stress emozionale. Alla fine si sono accordati per definire il libro non un memoir ma un semplice romanzo.

Behind the scenes, though, he was falling apart, an alcoholic, harboring the effects of what he describes as a wildly-chaotic, abusive and destructive childhood that he'd eventually detail in the massive New York Times bestseller-turned major motion picture, Running With Scissors (https://amzn.to/2qkxRus).He's since written numerous follow-on memoirs and novels, and crafted a life as a...

Think Again - a Big Think Podcast64. Mixtape #4 – The Writers' RoomIn this episode:
Big Think launched in 2008 as a "YouTube for intellectuals." Since then, it has produced over 10,000 short-form video interviews with many of the most influential and creative thinkers of our time.
Big Think's videos are bits of "expert wisdom", presented confidently and definitively against a white screen background. With THINK AGAIN, we wanted to revisit these ideas the way the audience encounters them––spontaneously, messily, and often out of context. We wanted to bring the experts to that state some thinkers call "beginner's mind" and see what would happen.
The format: Jason sits down with artists, scientists, historians––all accomplis...
