That was more than fifty years ago. American life was more comfortable and comprehensible than it is now as we face the discords of what I call the long emergency. I still had a hard time. I observe that boys today are up against a whole lot more in their quest to become fully functional adult men.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is often first recognized in young adulthood. It can result in rapid mood swings, broken relationships, impulsive actions, and various forms of self-destruction, from cutting to suicide. Despite the progress being made with various treatment strategies, few books have sought to explore the inner experience of those suffering from BPD and make their experiences understandable. While the use of a treatment contract between the patient and her therapist has become familiar to secure a stable therapeutic alliance, a broader use of contract principles to help those with BPD to frame and contain their feelings, impulses, and goals has not been sufficiently explored. By approaching BPD directly and applying negotiation principles attorney Thomas Mengert has provided a way of applying legal theory to this puzzling condition. By seeking the greater good of all parties through a negotiation process with clarity in cause and consequence, much of the chaos of Borderline lives can be avoided. For people with BPD, daily life is like encountering a complex obstacle course for a living but one that can be successfully negotiated and navigated through an understanding of the often hair-trigger alert status and extreme nature of borderline defenses. Over time the desperation of borderline lives can yield insight and foresight through negotiation in order to achieve inner peace and freedom from pain.The book, written by an attorney, Thomas Mengert, explores Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) from a unique legal perspective. Persons with BPD may encounter the legal system at many levels, such as family law hearings (divorce or child custody), criminal infractions, bankruptcy, hospitalization, and other instances where the unfortunate life events stemming from their illness may lead them to encounter the legal system.The author does not aim to discuss these diverse encounters with the legal system in detail. Instead, he uses his legal habit of mind to elucidate the condition of BPD itself rather than exploring its multiple manifestations and consequences.The author suggests that the customary modes of thought of an attorney might be of use in the realm traditionally assigned to psychology. If BPD is approached from the standpoint of the way that lawyers are trained to look at things, perhaps new insights might emerge.The author also discusses the concept of the obligation to negotiate in good faith, a habit of law, and how it relates to BPD.The author mentions that much of the thinking and work of the law is dedicated to assessing and allocating risks of loss and devising remedial measures when losses occur. The real-world approach to BPD taken in this book is similar to the tasks that lawyers must face each day.The author emphasizes that this book is an impressionistic study written by an attorney and not as an attorney. It does not offer legal advice or therapeutic treatment manual, or professional expertise.

Modern food systems cause extensive chronic disease, environmental degradation, global hunger, animal cruelty, and severe pandemic risks. Switching to whole plant food diets usually is the single most powerful action people can take to address these problems. It extends lives, improves health, reduces weight, protects the environment, and helps to relieve world hunger, reduce animal cruelty, and lower pandemic risks. Using practical, easy-to-understand language, this book illuminates how to transform the food sector, overcome food addiction, and adopt healthier diets and lifestyles. Food production and diet are among the most critical issues in human society. Flawed ideas and systems discussed throughout this book drive major problems in the food area. For example, the failure to think systemically causes many people to focus on the benefits of our food production systems without seeing the vast negative environmental and human health impacts. The inappropriate business influence of government frequently prevents the government from protecting public health and the environment in the food area. And the systemically-mandated requirement to place shareholder returns before all else drives major environmental and human health problems related to food.
