From Well-Looking to Well-Being: 18 Testimonials on Emotions That Keep You Inspired
Another transformative book from the PISTA emotional health experts, From Well-Looking to Well-Being unfolds powerful stories of people who were once vulnerable to their emotions, but who are now stronger with a renewed acceptance of themselves within different life situations. The chapters resonate and explore our dreams and disappointments, fear of losing love and purpose, and struggle to be productive and to keep up with the demands of today's digital lifestyles. Each storyteller attests that, through the PISTA method, they learned that self-acceptance and having sound well-being is more important than looking good and meeting others' expectations.
PISTA: An Approach to Assist Persons with Cognitive Decline
This book will introduce the PISTA (Processing Inner Strength towards Actualization), a methodology that can help people suffering from cognitive decline and memory problems. For the last 45 years, the ongoing PISTA research has created PISTA programs to support children, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens. PISTA will also help us to understand what we can do to help ourselves. While PISTA cannot change or stop the brain’s natural changes, this method can help manage the controllable factors of cognitive decline. PISTA therapy includes strategies that help improve our thinking, decision-making ability, and memory through brain training using the PISTA sound tool and specific activities facilitated by a PISTA coach.
