People have been using tobacco in a variety of forms for centuries. Remarkably, it was originally seen as something that could promote vigor and health. Of course, now we all know that tobacco use causes death and disability in epidemic proportions. If smoking is so bad for us, why in heaven’s name would anyone still smoke?

Quite a bit has changed since tobacco first made the transition to a widely available agricultural product. Unfortunately, the general clinical approach to addressing this problem has failed to keep pace with tobacco technology and its addictive properties. People around the world who have fallen prey to the subtleties of nicotine addiction, or who care for those who have, would benefit from a deeper understanding of the ways in which nicotine can affect the brain’s function and change behaviors over a lifetime. Why People Smoke breaks down the science of tobacco dependence and presents it in a way that is both easily understandable and clinically useful for anyone interested in helping people break free of nicotine’s influence.

Why People Smoke is a first-of-its-kind clinical guide to treating tobacco dependence. The book helps readers make meaningful connections between tobacco’s effects at the cellular level, the predictable behavioral manifestations of the disorder, and the social science and systems requirements required to make a fundamental impact on this disorder. Unlike previous publications like self-help books, step-by-step curricula, or clinical guidelines, Why People Smoke puts practical clinical insights—gained from twenty-five years of practice—into perspective, helping the reader understand how “brain change” translates into “mind change” and the persistent compulsion to smoke . . . despite a person’s desperate desire to stop.

Reading Why People Smoke will change the way you see smoking forever.

The cultural phenomenon that has helped heal millions of readers, this modern classic holds the key to understanding codependency and unlocking its hold on your life.

Melody Beattie’s compassionate and insightful look into codependency—the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another—has guided millions of readers toward the understanding that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins.

Is someone else’s problem your problem? If, like so many others, you’ve lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to a loved one’s self-destructive behavior, you may be codependent—and you may find yourself in this book. With personal reflections, exercises, and instructive stories drawn from Beattie’s own life and the lives of those she’s counseled, Codependent No More helps you break old patterns and maintain healthy boundaries, and offers a clear and achievable path to healing, hope, freedom, and happiness.

This revised edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and anxiety—subjects Beattie has long felt necessary to address within the context of codependency—making it even more relevant today than it was when it first entered the national conversation over thirty-five years ago.

She recently launched Hopeful Mindsets with global experts, working with global experts to teach about how to apply a Hopeful Mindset to all areas of life.

Intended as standard reading for members who participate in EDA groups throughout the world, this book is accessible and appropriate for anyone who wants to recover from an eating disorder or from issues related to food, weight, and body image.

Eating Disorders Anonymous: The Story of How We Recovered from Our Eating Disorderspresents the accumulated experience, strength, and hope of many who have followed a Twelve-Step approach to recover from their eating disorders. Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA), founded by sober members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), have produced a work that emulates the “Big Book” in style and substance. EDA respects the pioneering work of AA while expanding its Twelve-Step message of hope to include those who are religious or seek a spiritual solution, and for those who are not and may be more comfortable substituting “higher purpose” for the traditional “Higher Power.” Further, the EDA approach embraces the development and maintenance of balance and perspective, rather than abstinence, as the goal of recovery.

Initial chapters provide clear directions on how to establish a foothold in recovery by offering one of the founder’s story of hope, and collective voices tell why EDA is suitable for readers with any type of problem eating, including: anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, emotional eating, and orthorexia. The text then explains how to use the Twelve Steps to develop a durable and resilient way of thinking and acting that is free of eating disordered thoughts and behaviors, including how to pay it forward so that others might have hope of recovery.

In the second half of the text, individual contributors share their experiences, describing what it was like to have an eating disorder, what happened that enabled them to make a start in recovery, and what it is like to be in recovery. Like the “Big Book,” these stories are in three sections: Pioneers of EDA, They Stopped in Time, and They Lost Nearly All.

Readers using the Twelve Steps to recover from other issues will find the process consistent and reinforcing of their experiences, yet the EDA approach offers novel ideas and specific guidance for those struggling with food, weight and body image issues. Letters of support from three, highly-regarded medical professionals and two, well-known recovery advocates offer reassurance that EDA’s approach is consistent with that supported by medical research and standards in the field of eating disorders treatment.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re just going through the motions in life? Do you often act like you’re fine when you secretly feel lonely and disconnected? Perhaps you have a good life and yet somehow it’s not enough to make you happy. Or perhaps you drink too much, eat too much, or risk too much in an attempt to feel something good. If so, you are not alone—and you may be suffering from emotional neglect.

A practicing psychologist for more than twenty years, Jonice Webb has successfully treated numerous patients who come to her believing that something is missing inside them. While many self-help books deal with what happened to you as a child, in Running on Empty, Webb addresses the things that may not have happened for you. What goes unsaid—or what cannot be remembered—can have profound consequences that may be affecting you to this day.

Running on Empty will help you understand your experiences and give you clear strategies for healing. It also includes a special chapter for mental health professionals.

Winning the game of life but still not happy?

The traditional path to happiness has always started with being successful first: “Get a job, make money, be successful, then have fun.” Some go-getters achieve the greatest of success, only to be left feeling empty, wondering whether that’s all life has in store for them. Many continue to hustle, searching for the endgame and struggling with constant burnout. But there are a few who are genuinely happy and successful. What makes them different? What do they do that everyone else doesn’t?

The 1up Effect reveals why the traditional game of success is rigged and how people can stop playing by those rules. Instead, people will discover how to design their own game of life using the four powerful principles of lasting fulfillment. Drawing from his personal life, sixteen-plus years of professional experience, research, and a great passion for games, Thomas Edwards shows people how to level up sustainably in every area of life.

The result? A game of life they actually enjoy playing—and can even win.

Burnout isn’t just a crisis of energy; it’s a crisis of meaning.

For anyone who needs to hear this: People are not “crazy” just because they are exhausted and their brain feels like a circuit board that someone spilled a sticky chocolate milkshake all over. Dealing with burnout is real, it’s tough, and it’s most certainly not all in one’s head.

Burnout is more than stress, exhaustion, or unmet expectations. It’s a profound disconnect— the result of people working so hard for so long that they lose sight of why they were doing any of it in the first place. 

While burnout thrives on stress, fear, unprocessed emotions, energy vampires, and toxic work cultures, its root cause is a loss of meaning.

Beyond Burnout of Meaning isn’t just about theories and statistics; it’s about action. 

Here’s the empowering truth: Burnout crumbles in the face of purpose. When people rediscover their Why, even the toughest How becomes conquerable. And no, they don’t need to meditate on a Nepalese mountaintop for a century to find the ultimate Meaning of Life. Meaning is something people can create. Meaning is something people can do.

Beyond Burnout is chock-full of tools to help people deal with the worst symptoms of burnout and lays out a psychology-backed plan for creating real and lasting meaning in their life so that burnout never stands a chance.

Now in paperback—the definitive history of how the"Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous was written, edited, and finally brought to press.

It has been over forty years since Ernie Kurtz wrote Not-God, the last truly professional treatment of the history of Alcoholics Anonymous. While many books dealing with A.A. history have been written since then, Writing the Big Book is the first to bring that same kind of exhaustive research, scholarly discipline, and informed insight to the subject.

Schaberg’s book—telling a detailed story that begins in October of 1937 (when a book was first proposed) and ends in April of 1939 (when Alcoholics Anonymous was published)—is based primarily on the wealth of 1930s documents currently preserved in several A.A. archives. Woven together into an exciting narrative, these real-time documents provide an almost week-by-week account of how the book was slowly put together. It is a story that unfolds with many unexpected turns and more than a few revealing departures from the hallowed stories so widely circulated by A.A. members in the past.

Writing the Big Book presents a robust and vivid picture of how Alcoholics Anonymous operated and grew in its earliest days along with a vast amount of previously unreported details about the cast of colorful characters who made that group so successful. Most surprising is the emergence of Bill Wilson’s right-hand man, Hank Parkhurst, as the unsung hero in this story. Without Hank there would have been no book, but his unfortunate slip back into drinking just months after it was published resulted in him being almost completely written out of the supposedly factual stories told later.

Fast paced, engaging, and contrary, Writing the Big Book will decisively change whatever you think you know about early A.A. history and the ways in which this book—so central to the worldwide growth of this important twentieth century movement of spiritual recovery—actually came into being.

Time management is a worn-out cliché that needs to be replaced. 

People manage their time, but they continue to manage it poorly. Life is populated with a series of reactive responses to personal priorities and professional needs. Individuals do not control their calendar; the calendar controls them. Until there is a clear understanding that true productivity begins when the narrative is switched to a proactive mindset, 82% will continue to wallow in time managed obscurity. 

The Time Optimized Life reframes the reactive nature of time management and replaces it with a proactive method of time optimization. Drawing from exclusive data captured by a tool called the Time Management Analysis (TMA), the book walks the reader through a comprehensive system that is easily adaptable to a particular personality or experience level. 

Using it as a complete time overhaul, The Time Optimized Life allows the reader the flexibility to create a time optimization plan that meets their essential needs. Operating with tools readily available to them today, the book will change perceptions of the individual and their approach to the use of their time, without having to invest in new gadgets or software.

Time is a commodity and resource that does not stop. It can’t be reversed, and you can’t go back and get more. Investing time reading and applying the content in The Time Optimized Life will help the reader make the future feel more infinite.

A “choose your own adventure” for personal growth! 

When most men are asked about their lives—peeling back the layers of church, sports, work, and hobbies to what matters to their core—they’ll likely admit that something’s missing. 

Sam Feeney reached a “good enough” level of living, with a great family, nice house, and good job, only to find that he was seeking something more. He shares his journey to find personal satisfaction and growth within Why Aren’t You Thriving?

Sam Feeney has identified 7 Core Areas where men have the opportunity to live more fully: Faith, Identity, Mission, Career, Health, Relationships, and Finances. His podcast, Made to Thrive, interviews men who are excelling in at least one of those areas, asking them 5 Big Questions: 

• Why aren’t more men thriving? What’s holding them back? 
• When weren’t you thriving? What changed? What keeps you thriving? 
• What does it look like to thrive? 
• What tools, resources, strategies do you recommend? 
• What encouragement do you have for men who want to thrive?

These interviews helped Sam realize the three main reasons men are not only dissatisfied with life, but missing out on the influence they could be having on the world around them. He invites men to join him in discovering how to thrive in all 7 Core Areas, by identifying which are holding them back, why, and how they can begin a virtuous cycle of improvement and impact.

“At a time when being pro-guy is pretty uncommon or even unpopular, this book not only assumes that men should be thriving as God created, but gives us a roadmap to do just that. I challenge you to ask yourself this tough question and use the tools in this book to build the exciting life God destined you to live!”-David Benham, best-selling author and nationally-acclaimed entrepreneur

“As an elite men's coach, I help Christian husbands, dads & business owners ‘blow up rocks’ in their heads, targeting the lies and false beliefs that are holding them back from really living. The Why Aren't You Thriving? assessment is a great first step to identifying the rocks that are keeping you from thriving in your life. If you want to thrive, read Sam's book now.”-Joseph Warren, Elite Men's Coach at BlowUpRocks.com and host of #1 podcast Broken Catholic

«Tu montaña es el obstáculo entre tú y la vida que
quieres vivir. Enfrentarlo también es el único camino hacia tu libertad y conversión […] Tal vez sabes qué es tu montaña. Quizás es la adicción, el peso, las relaciones, los trabajos, la motivación o el dinero. Quizá no lo sabes. A lo mejor es una vaga sensación de ansiedad, baja autoestima, miedo o un descontento general que parece impregnar todo lo demás».
Brianna Wiest

Las montañas simbolizan los grandes desafíos que enfrentamos, en especial aquellos que parecen imposibles de superar. Para conquistar la cumbre es necesario aprender a identificar y cambiar las conductas que nos llevan al autosabotaje.

Por medio del conocimiento y la aceptación de nuestros hábitos más dañinos, el desarrollo de inteligencia emocional, la liberación de experiencias pasadas a nivel celular y el aprendizaje de actuar como nuestro yo del futuro podemos abrir nuestro propio camino hacia cualquier cima. Al final, la montaña no se moverá, seremos nosotros quienes lograremos conquistarla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Legacy was written to simplify the process and accelerate people’s pursuit of a purposeful life filled with the satisfaction and impact their hearts are longing for.

Legacy makers aren’t born. They’re made.

It has been taught that legacies were meant for the rich, famous, world leaders, and innovators. However, after observing a relatively unknown man build a legacy that rivaled many of the most notable people in history, Marcum Davis came to understand that legacies are not reserved for the elite. In fact, they are attainable for people from all walks of life.

But how does one build a legacy? How can a “regular” person lead an impactful life of purpose and fulfillment worth remembering?

After years of study and practice, Marcum discovered a fundamental five-part formula that anyone can apply to their daily lives, known as the P.E.A.C.E. Legacy Formula, which he shares in the pages of Legacy.

Following the P.E.A.C.E. Legacy Formula will begin to improve one’s quality of life from the start, as they begin to feel their excitement and energy rise up and touch everything they do.

Legacy was written for anyone who wants to make the most of each day and live a more meaningful life. It serves as a guide and support system in the creation of a life and legacy that impacts not only the individual, but their loved ones, and the world around them.

Limitless You helps those seeking to live fully become more self-aware of their emotions and thoughts, by identifying the tricks and traps of the mind and creating the life they deserve to live. 

Every person is born with a beautiful purpose for their lives; yet past experiences, societal expectations, and accumulated trauma leave many feeling unworthy and fearful of pursuing their passions. The tricks and traps of the brain can convince anyone to move through life with their heads down, eyes glazed, but according to Holly Wynn, human beings aren’t meant to go through the motions!

Too many interpret their inner voice saying, “I can’t live like this anymore,” as instruction to remove themselves from this life altogether, rather than an invitation to take steps toward meaningful changes to make life better. In the aftermath of COVID-19’s “new normal,” personal loss and tragedy are far too common, leaving individuals feeling trapped. In Limitless You, Holly Wynn encourages readers to take action, unlocking the door to their heart and embracing the purpose they were meant for.  

Colleen Gallagher created a life filled with subconscious anger and guilt as well as a persistent sense of unworthiness after being diagnosed with cancer at age 14 because it allowed her to blame the world for her own unhappiness, yet at age 23, she had enough. She wanted to figure out how to live the life she truly desired, to turn cancer into a gift and truly find out why she was here. Colleen quit her job, moved across the world to New Zealand and healed herself with love. This experience—and the new openness it ushered in—revealed to her that many people live every day in subconscious negativity which holds them back from their true and unlimited potential. That is why she’s telling her powerful story to spark The Intoxicator Movement. An Intoxicator creates the space to look within, removes the toxic, and becomes what’s left of their truth in the world. Live Your Truth challenges and empowers readers to undertake their own journey through this five-step process to not only find their truth but to start to live it, too.

An Uncompromised Life takes readers through Colleen Gallagher’s past unhealthy relationship which led her to compromise her soul. From this relationship, an unplanned pregnancy was created. Faced with a life changing decision, and shocked because Western medical doctors told Colleen it would be challenging for her to get pregnant after being diagnosed with cancer at age 14, she chose to let her child go. Through this difficult moment, the name Ella came to Colleen. The name Ella encouraged her to realize that her child was real and would always be with her in her heart. Colleen learned what it truly meant to fall in love with life, find herself, and find the power in living a life uncompromised to the soul. There are 12 lessons that she learned during her beautiful life journey that she has captured and written within An Uncompromised Life to share with readers, so they too can:

Learn to overcome trauma, adversity, and struggle by unleashing the science of hope in your daily life with this inspiring and informative guide.

Hope is much more than wishful thinking. Science tells us that it is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life. Hope is measurable. It is malleable. And it changes lives. In Hope Rising, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman reveal the latest science of hope using nearly 2,000 published studies, including their own research. Based on their findings, they make an impassioned call for hope to be the focus not only of our personal lives, but of public policy for education, business, social services, and every part of society.

Hope Rising provides a roadmap to measure hope in your life. It teaches you to assess what may have robbed you of hope, and then provides strategies to let your hope flourish once again. The authors challenge every reader to be honest about their own struggles and end the cycle of shame and blame related to trauma, illness, and abuse. These are important first steps toward increasing your Hope score—and thriving because of it.

Asia’s legendary playwright- director Stan Lai has written one of the unique works of our time, explaining that the mysterious act of creativity is actually a traceable function of mind, and there is a path to learn creativity through un-learning many of our habits picked up in life. His special map, as well as tailor-made exercises, lays out an awe-inspiring yet practical guide from a lifetime of creative work, revered in Asia by artists and business leaders alike. Through his extensive experience, the greatest living Asian playwright shows us how to cultivate a ‘creative app’ that works within us.
Matthieu Ricard says: “Stan Lai teaches us, how to see and how to do.” Praised by Jack Ma, Ang Lee and other luminaries, this book is a rewrite by the author of his book that is the most prominent work on creativity in China, having sold over 700,000 copies. Robert Wilson calls the work “foundational support for arts and culture.” Stan Lai is uniquely qualified to write on creativity, because he not only has four decades of creative experience, widely acclaimed as the greatest playwright in the Chinese language, but is also a dedicated educator. Shannon Jackson calls the work “A must-read from an internationally renowned artist.”
Can creativity be taught? Most of the books and training in this area deal with skills for jumpstarting alternative thinking, brainstorming and other exercises, but do not deal with creativity itself. They don’t tackle the obvious question: What is creativity and how can I get it? As one of the world's leading artists, Lai explains that the reason we don’t think creativity can be taught is that we don’t really understand what happens in the mysterious process. By slowing down the moment of inspiration, Lai lets us see exactly the elements involved in this complex process that lasts only an instant. Then he shows you how to prepare for this moment, through his unique Map of Creativity. This is a whole path of training in creativity, which he explains clearly and humour and compassion, and tailor-made exercises. Travis Preston says “Stan Lai guides us to the center of the creative moment and the ultimate unity of the spiritual and physical worlds.”
Creativitry is a milestone in understanding and learning the creative act. Born in America, raised in Taiwan, with a career spanning the Chinese diaspora, Lai believes that we are all born creative, but the source to creativity has been blocked, by life. How to take down the barriers that are blocking the source from us is a task of un-learning many things that have become habits and put us into a so-called non-creative mode. Taking his cue from his Buddhist training that wisdom and method are both needed for success in any endeavour, he explains how ‘wisdom’ has mysteriously vanished from education systems all over. Most teaching in creativity focuses on method, which one learns in one’s art. But we need another type of training, more urgently, the training for wisdom, which can only happen in the domain of life. To do, you must first be. To discover your creativity, you must first discover yourself. Octavian Saiu says, “This book is not a manual, but a statement of belief, an enduring message about how each of us can go beyond our limits.”

We’re surrounded by books telling us how to be rich, or thin. This book is different from other self-help books—because it teaches us to be nicer. Niceness might not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but who among us wouldn’t like to be more patient, less irritable, or better listeners? 

 With a gently philosophical tone, this book gives us practical advice on how to forgive, how to reassure, and how to be generous. Being nice isn’t at all the same as being weak, or naive. In fact, niceness is one of the highest planes of human achievement—a super power, and a strength. Niceness deserves to be rediscovered and cultivated, and this book shows you how. Part of a new essential paperback series from The School of Life, covering a range of emotional lessons needed in order to lead fulfilled and happy lives.

From the author: 

I think we all need to collect our thoughts on occasion and revisit what we may have done previously in myriad situations or contemplate what might sensibly follow next as we are moving forward on this very special or even ordinary day, maybe the very thoughts we are being moved by God to contemplate and savor. Indeed, this book is inviting you to think, dream, savor, and formulate where you have been and where you might be called to move in this next phase of your life.

El primer libro que revela cómo las hormonas del estrés tienen relación con los picos de insulina, cómo influyen en nuestra salud y bienestar, y qué podemos hacer al respecto.

¿Por qué nos estresamos y cómo podemos cambiarlo?

Mucho más que el cortisol es una exploración revolucionaria sobre la ciencia del estrés y su impacto en la salud. El investigador Richard Mackenzie y el periodista Peter Walker unen fuerzas para explicar cómo las hormonas del estrés afectan nuestro metabolismo, peso, fertilidad y riesgo de enfermedades como la diabetes tipo 2.

A través de estudios científicos de vanguardia y sorprendentes historias reales, el libro revela cómo el estrés no es solo una cuestión de actitud, sino una respuesta biológica influida por el entorno, el trabajo y las desigualdades sociales. Mucho más que el cortisol desmonta mitos, como la idea de que el ejercicio HIIT y las dietas bajas en carbohidratos siempre son beneficiosos, y demuestra cómo, en realidad, pueden aumentar los niveles de cortisol y provocar efectos adversos.

Diez grandes ideas de la sabiduría antigua para vivir más felices hoy, del autor de La mente de los justos y La generación ansiosa.

Jonathan Haidt, uno de los más destacados representantes de la psicología positiva —una rama de la psicología que busca comprender los procesos que subyacen a las cualidades y emociones positivas del ser humano— conjuga la precisión científica con la amenidad y la calidad literarias para presentar 10 grandes ideas que Haidt rescata de la sabiduría antigua (los Upanishad, el Bhagavad Gita o los proverbios de Buda), China (las Analectas de Confucio, el Tao te ching o los escritos de Mencio) y las culturas del Mediterráneo (el Viejo y el Nuevo Testamento, los filósofos griegos y latinos, el Corán).

Capítulo a capítulo Haidt desgrana cada una de esas ideas y las contrasta con los últimos hallazgos de la ciencia contemporánea. El resultado es una fresca y enriquecedora guía que, alejada de los manuales de autoayuda, desvela los pasos que seguir en nuestro camino a la felicidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Ten great ideas from ancient wisdom to live happier today, by the author of The Righteous Mind and The Anxious Generation.

Jonathan Haidt, one of the leading figures in positive psychology—a branch of psychology that seeks to understand the processes behind human strengths and positive emotions—combines scientific precision with engaging and literary style to present 10 timeless ideas drawn from ancient wisdom (the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and Buddha’s proverbs), China (Confucius’s Analects, the Tao te Ching, and Mencius’s writings), and Mediterranean cultures (the Old and New Testaments, Greek and Roman philosophers, and the Qur’an).

Chapter by chapter, Haidt unpacks each of these ideas and contrasts them with the latest findings in contemporary science. The result is a fresh and enriching guide that, far from typical self-help manuals, reveals practical steps to follow on our path to happiness.

Una guía transformadora para volver a empezar.

Por la autora que ha inspirado a más de 2.000.000 de lectores.

¿Qué nos ayuda a empezar de nuevo cuando la vida se desordena?
¿Cómo tomamos decisiones difíciles sin traicionarnos?
¿Dónde encontrar señales fiables cuando perdemos el rumbo?

En Alas para volar, Elsa Punset nos invita a hacer una pausa y mirar con más atención lo que somos, lo que llevamos dentro y lo que necesitamos soltar. A través de una historia real —el cuidado de un pequeño gorrión que llega a la vida de Elsa por azar—, el libro recorre con delicadeza y claridad los grandes temas que nos acompañan cuando nos enfrentamos a un cambio: cómo superar las heridas de la infancia, cómo detectar las señales de alerta, cómo proteger nuestra alegría, cómo decir que no, cómo formar parte de algo sin dejar de ser uno mismo.

Un libro luminoso, sereno y profundamente humano. Una invitación a reconectar con nuestra naturaleza, con nuestras decisiones y con el mundo que compartimos con todos los seres vivos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A transformative guide to starting over.

By the author who has inspired more than 2,000,000 readers.

What helps us begin again when life falls apart?
How do we make difficult decisions without betraying ourselves?
Where can we find reliable signs when we lose our way?

In Alas para volar, Elsa Punset invites us to pause and look more closely at who we are, what we carry within, and what we need to let go. Through a real story —the care of a small sparrow that unexpectedly enters Elsa’s life— the book delicately and clearly explores the major themes that accompany us when facing change: how to heal childhood wounds, how to detect warning signs, how to protect our joy, how to say no, how to belong without losing ourselves.

A luminous, serene, and deeply human book. An invitation to reconnect with our nature, our choices, and the world we share with all living beings.

En el momento en que vivimos y en el que las palabras que más se escuchan son crisis, depresión, falta de ganas de vivir… este libro constituye una inyección de optimismo y energía.

La felicidad consiste en ilusión. La ilusión no es el contenido de la felicidad, sino su envoltorio. El análisis que realiza el doctor Enrique Rojas, psiquiatra y conocedor de las profundidades del ser humano, es penetrante y se cuela por los entresijos del bosque espeso de la psicología. La felicidad arranca de una actitud mental positiva, es un polinomio de muchos factores. Tener ilusiones es tener un motor que tira de nosotros hacia delante y desarrolla nuestro proyecto personal. La felicidad no se da en el superhombre, sino en el hombre verdadero, la suerte echa las cartas, pero hay que saber jugarlas.

La ilusión de vivir es un compendio de sabiduría que orienta como una verdadera brújula a la gente sin rumbo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the times we live in, where the words most often heard are crisis, depression, and lack of desire to live… this book is an injection of optimism and energy.

Happiness consists of hope. Hope is not the content of happiness, but its wrapping. The analysis carried out by doctor Enrique Rojas, psychiatrist and expert in the depths of human nature, is penetrating and delves into the dense forest of psychology. Happiness begins with a positive mental attitude; it is a polynomial of many factors. To have hopes is to have a motor that pulls us forward and develops our personal project. Happiness is not found in the superhuman, but in the true human being. Luck deals the cards, but one must know how to play them.

The idea of being successful is an attractive dream that fills us with positive emotions. However, the actions required to be successful at work, in our relationships, in sports competition, are often difficult and lengthy. Therefore, even though we want to be successful, happy and influential. very few of us take the specific actions that will actually move us directly toward those goals.

So what do we need to bridge the gap between what we say we want, and what we must do to achieve it? We need goal-oriented motivation. The specific kind of motivation that is the fuel which can take us across the long and often uncertain bridge to our desired destination in life.

Brian Tracy can show you how to develop this kind of motivation on-demand, sustain it through the difficult periods of life, and instill this motivation so intricately into your daily life that you make the very idea of motivation unnecessary. That’s when you become UNSTOPPABLE!

In Born Rich, Bob Proctor has done it again, this time taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always reaching out for something that you don’t have but rather only reach­ing over and rearranging the pieces that are already there.

His no-nonsense instruction will guide you in unlocking your infinite potential and realize your inner-millionaire. Use this book as a manual for personal and financial fulfillment as you instantly apply the conclusions to your own life. If you are looking for a road map to start building a new life that you now only dream about, this is a must read book.

In his 1974 classic, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, author Robert M. Persig describes a condition he calls “stuckness” – that place where things break down and we are at our wits’ end to find solutions. Persig encourages us to get unstuck: moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar through an “inquiry of values” that leads us to think about and resolve the problems we are facing.

Help has arrived. For decades, Sandy Gallagher, co-founder of Proctor Gallagher Institute has helped millions achieve more successful professional and personal lives. While the principles Gallagher teaches are timeless, the moment  has come to apply them to a world of stuckness. 

Gallagher, inspired by Bob Proctor, has written How I Magically Unstuck My Life In Thirty Crazy Days to introduce twelve powerful, important lessons to a stuck generation. In her concise, easy-to-read story that expands to a three-book series and journal, Gallagher teaches readers the practical secrets about getting unstuck—and explains how these techniques deliver a life of fulfillment and success.

This soon to be classic parable of a young woman looking for an inspirational voice to help her out of stuckness is more relevant and useful than ever and destined to be a favorite of readers everywhere.

Cómo aprender a identificar los síntomas de la ansiedad y las claves para vencerla.

Enrique Rojas nos ofrece las claves para entender y aprender a enfocar el tratamiento de una de las principales afecciones contemporáneas: la ansiedad. En un momento en que cualquier análisis de la realidad descansa cada vez más sobre elementos psicológicos, resulta fundamental disponer de las herramientas básicas para afrontar este trastorno directamente relacionado con la reciente transformación de nuestra sociedad; un cambio con sus luces y sus sombras, donde el progreso global, los grandes avances técnicos y la revolución en el ámbito de las comunicaciones —con el espectacular desarrollo de las redes sociales— conviven con elevados niveles de estrés, una competitividad creciente y exigencias sociales, profesionales y personales con frecuencia inalcanzables.

La enorme difusión de la obra de Enrique Rojas sobre este mismo tema, titulada La ansiedad, gran éxito de ventas, aconseja retomar ahora esta cuestión, con un enfoque práctico y una presentación sintética, en un libro dirigido al gran público.

EL LIBRO SOBRE LA ANSIEDAD QUE ESTÁBAMOS ESPERANDO, CON LAS ÚLTIMAS NOVEDADES SOBRE SU TRATAMIENTO

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How to learn to identify the symptoms of anxiety and the keys to overcoming it.

Enrique Rojas offers the keys to understanding and approaching the treatment of one of today’s most common conditions: anxiety. At a time when any analysis of reality increasingly relies on psychological elements, it is essential to have basic tools to face this disorder, directly linked to the recent transformation of our society. A change with both lights and shadows, where global progress, major technological advances, and the revolution in communications —with the spectacular rise of social networks— coexist with high levels of stress, growing competitiveness, and often unattainable social, professional, and personal demands.

The wide diffusion of Enrique Rojas’s work on this same subject, titled Anxiety, a bestseller, makes it timely to revisit the issue now with a practical approach and a concise presentation, in a book aimed at the general public.

THE BOOK ON ANXIETY WE WERE WAITING FOR, WITH THE LATEST UPDATES ON ITS TREATMENT

Un viaje hacia la creatividad, ahora en una edición especial.

«Me propuse a mí mismo escribir un libro acerca de cómo crear una gran obra de arte. En lugar de eso, se reveló como un libro acerca de cómo Ser.»

Los grandes productores musicales suelen ser reconocidos por un sonido único que solo ellos son capaces de lograr. Rick Rubin es conocido por eso y por algo más: por saber crear un espacio en el que artistas de diferentes géneros y tradiciones se reencuentran con su identidad profunda y con aquello que realmente tienen que ofrecer al mundo. Rubin ha convertido en una práctica su impulso de ayudar a las personas para que trasciendan expectativas autoimpuestas y reconecten con un estado de inocencia en el que lo sorprendente se convierte en inevitable. A lo largo de los años, Rubin ha pensado mucho en el origen de la creatividad: de dónde viene y de dónde no, y ha aprendido que ser artista no depende tanto de un resultado en concreto, sino de cómo nos relacionamos con el mundo.

La creatividad tiene un lugar en la vida de todas las personas y todos podemos hacer ese espacio más grande. De hecho, hay pocas responsabilidades humanas que sean más importantes que esa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A journey into creativity, now in a special edition.

“I set out to write a book about how to create a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself as a book about how to Be.”

Great music producers are often recognized for a unique sound that only they can achieve. Rick Rubin is known for that and something more: for creating a space where artists from different genres and traditions reconnect with their deepest identity and with what they truly have to offer the world. Rubin has turned into practice his impulse to help people transcend self-imposed expectations and reconnect with a state of innocence where the unexpected becomes inevitable. Over the years, Rubin has reflected deeply on the origin of creativity: where it comes from and where it does not, and has learned that being an artist depends less on a specific outcome than on how we relate to the world.

Creativity has a place in everyone’s life, and we can all make that space larger. In fact, there are few human responsibilities more important than that.

El autor de Cuatro mil semanas, la nueva voz de la conciencia para una sociedad desquiciada por los objetivos imposibles.

¿Cómo aceptar los límites intrínsecos de nuestra existencia? ¿Cómo tomar buenas decisiones cuando siempre estamos desbordados? ¿Y si, para ser verdaderamente productivos, tuviéramos que dejar que las cosas sucedan en lugar de provocarlas?

En su nuevo libro, Burkeman insiste en la importancia de liberarse de los ideales y los retos inalcanzables y propone un cambio de paradigma adoptando el imperfeccionismo como filosofía de vida. Si Cuatro mil semanas abordaba la aceptación de los límites de la existencia humana, este nuevo libro nos enseña a volver a lo esencial y escapar de la presión constante de una sociedad que nos empuja a la acumulación.

Inspirado en la sabiduría de los antiguos maestros, la literatura clásica, la religión y la psicología, ofrece herramientas prácticas para redescubrir el sentido de la vida. Concebido como un retiro espiritual de 28 días, esta obra es una guía esclarecedora para establecer objetivos alcanzables y llevar una vida más sana, libre y feliz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the author of Four Thousand Weeks, a new voice of conscience for a society unhinged by impossible goals.

How can we accept the intrinsic limits of our existence? How do we make good decisions when we are constantly overwhelmed? What if, to be truly productive, we needed to let things happen rather than force them?

In his new book, Burkeman emphasizes the importance of freeing ourselves from ideals and unattainable challenges and proposes a paradigm shift by adopting imperfectionism as a life philosophy. Whereas Four Thousand Weeks addressed accepting human limits, this new work teaches us to return to essentials and escape the relentless pressure to accumulate.

Drawing on the wisdom of ancient teachers, classical literature, religion, and psychology, it offers practical tools to rediscover meaning. Designed as a 28-day spiritual retreat, this book is an illuminating guide to set achievable goals and live a healthier, freer, and happier life.

We live in stressful times. Some say that this is the most challenging time in history, it is fueled by ego, competition, injustice, and anxiety. Just glancing at news headlines each day is enough to cause alarm.

Mental health experts, psychologists, therapists, and counselors have reported the rising levels of stress, depression, anxiety, worry, and fear, year after year, for the last two decades.We can either wring our hands and doom-scrolling, or we can do something about it.

Brave New Mind offers ways to:

• Handle increasing stress in all areas of our lives. 
• Join the powers of serenity and alertness of oneself. 
• Cope with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental illnesses. 
• Find renewed strength and motivation we have lost. 
• Make new meaning and find our life purpose. 
• Create a brave new mind equal to this moment. 

Dr. Eric Maisel’s work as a retired psychotherapist provides ways to deal not only with the extreme tension of today’s existence but a path forward. Instead of relying only on medications, readers are guided to fortify and reinvigorate the mind. His optimistic approach redefines the worry of the world. Dr. Maisel has devised this practical, approachable, and inspiring way to face the struggles with calmness and serenity.

Your Writer’s Block Is Bullsh*t begins with a confession: the authors themselves avoided writing this book.

From that honest starting point, psychologist Dr Vincent Fogliati and professional ghostwriter Roger Joyce invite readers on a transformative journey through the three acts of a writer’s creative life — fear, confrontation, and freedom.

• In Act One – Your Writing World, they introduce the ACT Matrix, a tool that helps writers map their values, fears, and behaviors. Here, the reader identifies what truly matters about their writing, and why fear shows up exactly where passion lives.
• Act Two – Dealing with Your Demons guides the reader through the painful but liberating process of “unhooking” from avoidance and self-criticism. Rather than banishing fear, the authors show how to coexist with it — with compassion, humor, and skill.
• Finally, in Act Three – Showing Up to the Page, the book delivers what every creative person needs most: practical, evidence-based tools for consistency, presence, and courage. It’s where theory becomes action — the “show up with your mess” philosophy that underpins the entire work. 

Written in alternating voices — Vincent the psychologist grounding each principle, Roger the writer illustrating it through lived experience — the result is a rare blend of insight and relatability. The reader doesn’t feel lectured to; they feel understood. 

With forewords by Professor Paul Atkins, one of the world’s leading ACT scholars, and The Reverend Bill Crews AM on the human act of courage in creativity, this book transcends the “writer’s self-help” category. It’s about art, fear, and what it means to keep showing up when it matters most. 

For anyone who has ever said, “I’ll write when I feel ready,” this book is the wise, encouraging call to write now.
