	Aurora Libraries recommends the book, You Raising Your Child by MF Roizen, MD and MC Oz, MD (Free Press, 2010). When your baby is crying uncontrollably , do a head-to-toe once-over to check if something is physically irritating or causing pain. If he is crying while flailing his arms and legs, he is over stimulated. Try swaddling and moving him to a quieter place.
	Overcoming Post-Deployment Syndrome by David X. Cifu, MD (Demos, 2011). Members of the military services returning from war may be physically and/or psychologically traumatized. Continuum movement exercise restores the connectness between body and mind. It is a key component to your healing.
	Well Being by Tom Rath (Gallup, 2010). Our total well being consists of 5 essential elements--career, social, financial, physical and community. Gallup studies tell us that people who have high career well being get up in the morning looking forward to the day. They have the opportunity at work to use their strengths and interests and to make progress.
