Simon Lang would rather he didn't wind up in the digestive tract of the ship's gargantuan first mate, but it wasn't outside the realm of possibility.

The purpose of this book is to provide the theoretical minimum for trading derivatives in various asset and product classes from the perspective of a trader or risk manager. While a trader does not require the same level of technical knowledge as a quant, it is essential to understand model risk and behavior when pricing and risk managing derivatives. The same is true when applying hedging techniques, which are often not perfect and may themselves introduce additional risk. Derivatives are often non-linear financial instruments, which makes diligent risk management and scenario analysis even more important. Finally, given the stringent monitoring of capital requirements, the understanding of valuation adjustments, and their impact on the pricing and the derivatives lifecycle is a topic that is impossible to ignore.

"Movieland deals with an ideal Hollywood, with a Hollywood more amazing, if that were possible, than the one we know. The atmosphere of Ramâon's narrative reminds one of Jules Verne, of Hans Christian Andersen--only that perhaps Movieland is more exhilarating, more incongruous. Through Ramâon's fiction one peeps into the private life of stars, attends the shooting of great films, drinks the essential Movieland cocktail till one becomes blissfully intoxicated with events too beautiful to be true"--From translator's note.

The roles of faith, belief and spirituality in Alcoholics Anonymous are covered, but mostly this book is about behavior motivating beliefs, like those of the Cognitive Model. The beliefs of drinking alcoholics about their alcoholism, their life and alcohol are what keeps them drinking. These beliefs are shaped by the alcoholic's mental obsession which excuses and justifies drinking at every turn. Obsessions of every kind function by excusing and justifying aberrant behavior. Loss of faith in these excuses and justifications coupled with a crisis situation and the availability sobriety knowledge enables the alcoholic to see clearly and get sober. The alcoholic gets sober by believing in abstinence as the solution and active participation in the Alcoholics Anonymous as the method. Created and driven by the alcoholics will to live, sober beliefs get and keep the alcoholic sober. The personality and character shaping role of a Higher Power in 12 Step Recovery is explained. The adaptability of non-theistic faiths, such as Buddhist Meditation, is discussed. Freedom of belief is explained, including the freedom to be an atheist and participate in AA. Cognitive Behavior Therapy and SMARTrecovery, based in science, focus on the cultivation of rational beliefs. This books explanation of how beliefs are formed, within the human personality, adds much to the understanding of Cognitive Science. Faith and belief are defined and expanded on and the traditional religious connotations that monopolize these powerful psychological words are challenged. Use of faith and belief as terms of cognitive science is encouraged. The concept of Faiths Plural is introduced. Faiths Plural is the idea that several forms of faith acting in synergy get and keep alcoholics sober. For example faith in the AA program and faith in ones decision to stay sober together with other forms of faith create the belief structure within the personality of the alcoholic that motivates lasting sobriety. Faiths Plural is the primary challenge to the traditionally magical meanings of the words faith and belief. Cultivation of faith in sober realities and beliefs that motivate success in achieving goals are powerful tools useful to Cognitive Science.

Seriously riveting read. Sizemore's sense of metaphor appeals to me a lot. It's like film noir monologue, gritty, visceral, hard-boiled. His content reminds me of Bukowski, and the way he dives into selfhood, and then dives deeper, and deeper still. This stuff's dark but there's redeeming truth in it. - Daniel Ari, poet The second chapbook of poems to be released by bestselling poet Jay Sizemore, delves into the dark waters of obsession, relationships, objectification, and desire. Bare and bold honesty proves to be essential to this exploration, through poems that don't flinch and strike to the heart and guts of the matter. In Confessions of a Porn Addict, Jay Sizemore bravely dives into the pool of desire, compulsion, and dealing with the consequences. In the opening poem, Sizemore writes, "I hate lying, but I lie to myself." This character can't help himself, though it doesn't mean he's happy: "These walls are painted with regret, / and broken promises / linger like ghosts in the halls." Even if these poems are relayed through an unreliable narrator, there's an honesty lurking that is rarely found in poetry. In "It's selfish to demand honesty," Sizemore declares, "the butterflies will never love you," and it's the kind of truth that a person who admits to objectifying his love interests can deliver. The subject may feel raw at times, but Confessions of a Porn Addict delivers beauty in its honest appraisal of desire and wanting to be desired. Robert Lee Brewer, author of Solving the World's Problems. Jay Sizemore writes in the tradition of books like Confessions of an English Opium Eater, Confessions of a Hope Fiend, and Life Studies. These are poems that Thomas da Quincey might have written had he heard The Beatles, poems that Timothy Leary might have written if he were a poet with Tourette's, poems that Robert Lowell might have written if he'd had access to the Internet. These are poems to read when you can't sleep, poems to deeply inhale and hold in your lungs, poems that will make you want to double-click and double-click until satisfied. Tom Hunley, author of PLUNK, and The Poetry Gymnasium.

How by incorporating Love, Wisdom, Compassion, Humility, Forgiveness, Hope, Peace, and Unity into our everyday lives we not only create a more meaningful life for ourselves but also a better world for humanity.
