Take the risk : learning to identify, choose, and live with acceptable risk / by Carson, Ben.(CARDINAL)781694; Lewis, Gregg,1951-(CARDINAL)716329;
Includes bibliographical references (page 237).Risking their lives -- To risk or not to risk? -- When is risk worth it? -- Life itself is a risky business -- The truth about risk -- Growing up "at risk" -- My risky behavior nearly got the best of me -- Risks I took that changed my life forever -- Four simple questions to help assess any risk -- Faith is a risk--whatever you believe -- Living your faith in an uncertain world -- Navigating professional risks -- My own personal risks in the face of death -- Taking yourself out of the middle of decisions -- Parenting perils? -- Public risk (and the beginning of some solutions) -- Even bigger risks -- Conclusion : my prescription in a dangerous world.In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. But in the end, everyone faces risk. Even if our choices are not dramatic or the outcome not heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us--and all that we can offer life? As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk--he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In this book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives.--

Born to be wild : why teens take risks, and how we can help keep them safe / by Shatkin, Jess P.,author.(CARDINAL)499472;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-284) and index.Texting while driving. Binge-drinking. Bullying. Unprotected sex. There are plenty of reasons for parents to worry about getting a late-night call about their teen. But most of the advice parents and educators hear about teens is outdated and unscientific--and simply doesn't work. Acclaimed adolescent psychiatrist and educator Jess Shatkin brings more than two decades' worth of research and clinical experience to the subject, along with cutting-edge findings from brain science, evolutionary psychology, game theory, and other disciplines -- plus a widely curious mind and the perspective of a concerned dad himself.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-253).Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision: to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives.
