Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blowups you're facing are often a result of a bigger set of "triggers". Some of these are external, like a child's disobedience, back talk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood.

The Trigger tells the story of a young man who changed the world forever. It focuses on the drama of the incident itself by following Princip's journey. By retracing his steps from the feudal frontier village of his birth, through the mountains of the northern Balkans to the great plain city of Belgrade, and ultimately to Sarajevo, Tim Butcher illuminates our understanding of Princip and makes discoveries about him that have eluded historians for 100 years.

Psychotherapist David Richo examines the science of triggers and our reactions of fear, anger, and sadness. He helps us understand why our bodies respond before our minds have a chance to make sense of a situation. By looking deeply at the roots of what provokes us - the words, actions, and even sensory elements like smell - we find opportunities to understand the origins of our triggers and train our bodies to remain calm in the face of painful memories.

I woke up with a number on my chest and a death sentence humming in the walls. Kill or be killed. Only one walks free. It should have been my brother. He promised me that much—his voice steady, his grip bruising, swearing he’d die before he let anyone touch me. He lied. He sold me. In the concrete dorm under buzzing lights, in the fake town with plastic fruit, in the carnival of rusted rides and painted smiles, survival isn’t about morals—it’s about who owns you. And the most terrifying man in the Game has decided I’m his. They call him a monster in whispers. The one who never ...

Their worlds weren't supposed to collide, but Lace fell for Trigger anyway, hard enough to hand him the one secret that could change both their lives. What she gave him wasn't just information.

Everything is a trigger. White House journalist Tom Miller thought it was a random accident. It wasn’t. Something has been planted inside him. Not a virus. Not a toxin. A weapon. Engineered to stay hidden… until it’s activated. And in a world powered by signals, surveillance, and smart technology— activation is everywhere. To survive, Miller must disconnect completely. No phone. No network. No second chances. But he’s not the only one. When he discovers a list of infected carriers heading to a high-level global summit, the truth becomes clear: This isn’t an attack. It’s a ...

Some sounds do not annoy. They commandeer. A chewing noise. A breath. A rhythmic tap. For people with misophonia, these ordinary sounds can trigger an immediate, involuntary cascade of physiological and emotional activation—anger, panic, urgency, disgust—long before conscious thought has time to intervene. Misophonia in a Nutshell: When Sound Triggers the Nervous System is not a self-help guide and not a motivational reassurance. It is a precise, mechanism-level explanation of misophonia as it is actually lived: a condition of miscalibrated auditory salience, in which the nervous system...
