Self-Help

Why do so many world-changing insights come from people with little or no related experience? Charles Darwin was a geologist when he proposed the theory of evolution. And it was an astronomer who finally explained what happened to the dinosaurs.

Frans Johansson's The Medici Effect shows how breakthrough ideas most often occur when we bring concepts from one field into a new, unfamiliar territory and offers examples of how we can turn the ideas we discover into path-breaking innovations.

Clayton M. Christensen, bestselling author of The Innovator's Dilemma, has described The Medici Effect as "one of the most insightful books about managing innovation I have ever read. Its assertion that breakthrough principles of creativity occur at novel intersections is an enduring principle of creativity that should guide innovators in every field."

Now with a new preface and a discussion guide, and a foreword by Harvard Business School professor Teresa Amabile, The Medici Effect is a timeless classic that will help you reach your innovative peak.

There's an 80 percent chance you're poor. Time poor, that is.

Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. These time-poor people experience less joy each day. They laugh less. They are less healthy, less productive, and more likely to divorce. In one study, time stress produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment.

How can we escape the time traps that make us feel this way and keep us from living our best lives?

Time Smart is your playbook for taking back the time you lose to mindless tasks and unfulfilling chores. Author and Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans will give you proven strategies for improving your "time affluence." The techniques Whillans provides will free up seconds, minutes, and hours that, over the long term, become weeks and months that you can reinvest in positive, healthy activities.

Time Smart doesn't stop at telling you what to do. It also shows you how to do it, helping you achieve the mindset shift that will make these activities part of your everyday regimen through assessments, checklists, and activities you can use right away. The strategies Whillans presents will help you make the shift to time-smart living and, in the process, build a happier, more fulfilling life.

El autor #1 de los bestsellers del New York Times de Give and Take y Originals examina el arte crítico de repensar: aprender a cuestionar tus opiniones y abrir las mentes de otras personas, lo que puede posicionarte para la excelencia en el trabajo y la sabiduría en la vida.

Piénsalo otra vez revela que no tenemos que creer todo lo que pensamos o internalizar todo lo que sentimos. Es una invitación a dejar de lado las opiniones que nos impiden avanzar y a valorar la flexibilidad mental, la humildad y la curiosidad por encima de la coherencia establecida. Si el conocimiento es poder, saber lo que no sabemos es sabiduría.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn.

With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, Adam Grant investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, harness the advantages of impostor syndrome, bring nuance into charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe all our thoughts or internalize all our emotions. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over consistency.

Reimagining Women’s Self-Defense is where self-defense meets common sense, where self-awareness, situational awareness, strategy, and problem solving intersect.

Two-thousand-years ago, when the martial arts were evolving, women’s empowerment and freedom of movement weren’t high on the agenda. Yet women are still learning ancient self-defense concepts originally designed by and for men.

Reimagining Women’s Self-Defense is a daring reexamination of protective training for instructors, safety professionals, and seasoned martial artists looking to broaden their understanding of self-defense for women and vulnerable populations. The book discusses how to break down the criminal process; recognize tells and tricks of emotionally abusive people and violent criminals; and respond early if engaged by multiple assailants. It considers weapons–how they are used and how to use them-and covers important legal ramifications of protecting yourself physically. You will learn to vet a litany of self-defense techniques taking into account size, strength, skills, and lifestyle; include specific considerations of parenthood in your self-defense practice; and heal intelligently after a violent assault. Finally, you will come away with teaching tools and resources to help you pass the knowledge on to your students and loved ones.

Tèja VanWicklen navigates the unpredictable terrain of predators and their unsuspecting targets in the presence of perplexing, unanswered questions: 

• What is self-defense really? 
• Are some techniques better than others? 
• Should I rely on pepper spray? 
• What if my kids are with me when I’m attacked?

Reimagining Women’s Self-Defense rebrands self-defense as protective offense, addressing the shortcomings of a purely defensive mindset during a violent encounter and including others the "self" in "self-defense" leaves out. Protective offense is context-based and personal. It empowers women to discover their own answers and even their own questions. 

Among other things expect to learn to:

• Break down the process of violent crime
• Stay off the criminal radar
• Recognize signs, tells, and tricks of emotionally abusive people and violent criminals
• Respond as early as possible to a confrontation by multiple attackers
• Understand how weapons are used and what your options are if confronted by one
• Learn ways to navigate confusion and shock
• Vet a litany of self-defense techniques taking into account size, strength, skills, and lifestyle
• Know which physical techniques to count on in a fight for your life and which NOT to
• Grasp some of the most important legal ramifications of physically protecting yourself against violence
• Heal intelligently after a violent encounter
• Include specific considerations of parenthood in your self-defense practice
• Evaluate self-defense courses and instructors so you can make educated decisions for your family
• Come away with teaching tools and resources to help you pass the knowledge on to your students and loved ones
• Help engage and encourage others to reimagine women's self-defense training so it benefits us all

A national bestseller, Let the Elephants Run is the essential guidebook for anyone looking to reignite their creativity.

Creativity is in everyone’s DNA, not a select few. Award-winning musician and founder of CloudID Creativity Lab David Usher believes we just need the right tools to help us reconnect with our imaginations in our day-to-day lives, whether in the head office, the home office, or the artist’s studio. Using a mix of personal anecdotes and professional examples from the worlds of industry, technology, science, music, and art, he shows us that creativity is not magic; it is a learnable skill that any person or business can master. The dynamic full-colour design includes photographs, artwork, and illustrations, as well as action pages to help readers start cultivating the habit of documenting their ideas for future execution. Based on his wildly popular speaking engagements, Let the Elephants Run is the essential guidebook to reigniting and nurturing our creativity in accessible and productive ways.

From the bestselling author of Authenticity and The Little Book of Stress Relief comes the definitive guide to treating — and eliminating — excessive stress in the workplace.

Dr. David Posen, a popular speaker and a leading expert on stress mastery, identifies the three biggest problems that contribute to burnout and low productivity: Volume, Velocity, and Abuse. He shares revealing anecdotes and offers clear descriptions of the biology of stress to illustrate how downsizing, economic uncertainty, and technology have made the workplace more toxic than ever. Most importantly, he offers practical advice and easy techniques for managing the harmful symptoms and side effects of stress.

Witty, engaging, and accessible, Is Work Killing You? touches on everything from meetings to tweeting, from fake work to face time, from deadlines to dead tired, and more. With this book, Dr. Posen gives us the tools to stop harming our most valuable resource — ourselves.

From Dr. David Posen, the bestselling author of Is Work Killing You? and The Little Book of Stress Relief, comes a book about listening to your body, understanding your mind, and making better choices in your life.

For over thirty years, Dr. David Posen has counselled patients suffering from severe stress, anxiety, and depression. Over that time, he noticed a pattern. As our lives have become faster and increasingly fragmented, many of us have become disconnected from our true selves. Using a holistic approach that combines elements of physiology, psychology, and philosophy, Authenticity teaches readers to acknowledge and accept their true selves in order to make better and more informed life choices. Drawing on real-life examples from his experience in stress management, Dr. Posen has identified five common sources of conflict: personality traits, time and speed, sleep, values, and passions. For each of these areas, the solution is surprisingly simple. We must learn to live in a way that is authentic and true to our unique selves; we must live in harmony with who we truly are.

An actionable guide to mindfulness and practical ethics for any creative professional who wants to make a living without selling their soul.

It can be difficult to live according to our values in a complicated world. At a time when capitalism seems most unforgiving but the need for paying work remains high, it is important to learn how we can be more mindful and intentional about our impact — personal, social, economic, and environmental.

As designer and creative director Kelly Small had to do to navigate a crisis of ethics and burnout in their career in advertising, we can admit our complicity in problematic systems and take on the responsibility of letting our own conscience guide our decisions.

Start with one or many of these 100+ rigorously researched, ultra-practical action steps:

• Co-create and collaborate
• Get obsessed with accessibility
• Demand diverse teams
• Commit to self-care
• Make ethics a competitive edge
• Be mindful of privilege
• Create for empowerment, not exploitation

With a humorous and irreverent tone, Small reveals how when we release unnecessary judgement and become action-oriented, we can clarify the complicated business of achieving an ethical practice in the creative industries. Discover the power of incremental, positive changes in our daily work-lives and the fulfillment of purposeful work.

Taking as her starting point the inspiration and wisdom that can be derived from myth, fairy tales, and folk culture, Dr. Sharon Blackie offers a set of practical and grounded tools for enchanting our lives and the places we live, so leading to a greater sense of meaning and of belonging to the world.

Enchantment. By Dr. Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency — one we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully engages the mythic imagination — but it is also deeply embodied in ecology, grounded in place and community.

To live this way is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the ordinary.

A refreshing look at the inevitability of uncertainty and how it can help make the hard parts of life more manageable.

“Gill—high level of comfort with uncertainty,” a producer once noted. But Gill Deacon’s comfort level is put to the test over the course of an illness that is as mysterious as it is debilitating. During this time of not knowing, Deacon investigates the nature of uncertainty itself and demonstrates how we can choose to draw on our innate resilience and learn to thrive in an ever-changing world. She reminds us that, like comedy improvisation and jazz music, beautiful things can result from the unpredictable and unplanned. While providing evidence of the beauty in not knowing, she makes a clear and compelling case that uncertainty is a condition we are built for. In fact, our best shot at creativity, innovation, and human connection occurs when we radically embrace the uncertainty we habitually struggle against.

This thoughtful examination of uncertainty by a warm and wise fellow traveller is a balm that can soothe us in troubling times.

In the spirit of French Women Don’t Get Fat and Bringing Up Bébé comes the quintessential book about what French women can teach us about the world of lingerie.

American women wear underwear. French women wear lingerie.

French women seem inherently more confident in their bodies, able to embrace the sensuality of life and love. What’s their secret?

Lingerie.

Paris Undressed will help women feel at ease with their figures and show them how to integrate a lingerie lifestyle à la française to enhance their own femininity, confidence, and joie de vivre. It will transform the way women perceive their undergarments — and their bodies — and reveal how to co-ordinate a lingerie wardrobe to reflect personality and to meet lifestyle needs with the right dose of reverie. This book goes behind the seams, combining cultural references, expertise, and practical advice to inspire every woman to reconsider her underwear drawer.

Olvídate de quién se supone que deberías ser y abraza a tu verdadero yo.

Brené Brown, la reconocida investigadora de los efectos de la vulnerabilidad y la vergüenza, y autora de seis bestsellers de The New York Times, comenzó el movimiento internacional de las emociones con el libro que ahora tienes en tus manos, el cual ha sido traducido a treinta idiomas y ha vendido tres millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo. Esta edición de aniversario incluye un prefacio inédito y herramientas para hacer de la lectura una experiencia nueva.

En estas páginas, la autora sienta las bases para una vida de todo corazón, y nos proporciona una ruta con diez claves que nos llevarán a cultivar la valentía, la compasión y la conexión: los dones de la imperfección. Practicar una de estas diez enseñanzas al día te ayudará a construir una vida en la que sea un hábito despertar por la mañana y pensar: «No importa qué tanto logre terminar o cuánto quede por hacer, soy suficiente»; e ir a la cama por la noche mientras te dices: «Sí, soy imperfecto, vulnerable y a veces tengo miedo, pero eso no cambia la verdad de que también soy valiente, y digno de amor y pertenencia».

«Este libro es una invitación para unirse a la revolución de todo corazón. Un movimiento pequeño, silencioso y de raíz que comienza con cada uno de nosotros diciendo:

“Mi historia importa porque yo importo”».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

Brené Brown, the renowned researcher of vulnerability and shame, and author of six New York Times bestsellers, launched the global emotional movement with the book you now hold in your hands. Translated into thirty languages and with over three million copies sold worldwide, this anniversary edition includes a brand-new preface and tools to make your reading experience feel entirely new.

In these pages, the author lays the foundation for wholehearted living, offering a path of ten guideposts to help us cultivate courage, compassion, and connection: the gifts of imperfection. Practicing even one of these ten daily teachings can help you build a life where it's second nature to wake up each morning and think, “No matter what gets done or how much is left undone, I am enough,” and go to bed each night saying, “Yes, I am imperfect, vulnerable, and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.”

“This book is an invitation to join the wholehearted revolution—a small, quiet, grassroots movement that begins with each of us saying:

‘My story matters because I matter.’”

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.

For people over the age of sixty, New York City is a cluttered attic-a mess of valuables that cannot be ignored, but that for the most part remains buried in jargon, agencies, regulations, and eligibility forms. New York City is, after all, a place that offers seniors everything from discount tickets for Broadway shows to social service agencies for those who speak foreign languages including Spanish, Cantonese or Tagalog. It is a place of endless benefits for those who can dig through the junk in the attic, organize what is there and still have the desire to leave the house.
Take Charge! The Complete Guide to Senior Living in New York City is the first book to gather, in a single volume, information and advice for people over sixty who want to make the most of the city. Here at last is an all-inclusive guide that addresses every concern for senior New Yorkers, from entertainment and healthcare to housing and taxes. Take Charge! reaches beyond merely listing phone numbers and programs to giving advice on a number of areas, from choosing an HMO, a reverse mortgage, or an elder law attorney, to receiving travel discounts and negotiating home care.
Containing everything a person over sixty needs to know to make the most of life in New York City, Take Charge! is the only comprehensive guide available for New York seniors and their families.

Millions of people enter or seriously consider entering alcohol or drug treatment each year. In their understandable state of urgency, most first-time treatment seekers and their loved ones may rush to the first treatment option they encounter. They are unlikely to be aware of why one form of intervention would be a good choice for their particular problem or why some approaches may, under some conditions, actually be harmful. Lacking reliable information, they are unable to make informed choices.
Recovery from Addiction offers a concise, reader-friendly guide for substance dependent persons, their families, and friends to help make sense of the full range of available treatment options.
Cloud and Granfield introduce readers to their options, from inpatient and outpatient programs and today's major pharmacological approaches to alternative therapies including strategies for using the Internet to access support meetings and approaches which do not call for life-long abstinence from the substances now causing the problem. They outline the underlying principles of each program, its pros and cons, and what a participant can expect when entering that type of treatment, guiding readers in choosing the approach likely to be best for them or their loved one. They also provide specific strategies for addicted individuals who wish to consider recovery on their own, without groups or treatment.
A vital resource for addicts wishing to recover and their loved ones, Recovery from Addiction is also a valuable tool for health care professionals, from social workers to school counselors, responsible for referring clients to drug and alcohol recovery programs.

Dr. Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan’s 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain translates the latest brain science into practical strategies and exercises that yield quick and long- lasting benefits.

Misplacing your keys, forgetting someone’s name at a party, or coming home from the market without the most important item — these are just some of the many common memory slips we all experience from time to time. But such cognitive lapses don’t just plague middle-agers and seniors; UCLA studies indicate that forgetfulness begins much earlier in life. Scientists can detect subtle changes in the brain that coincide with mental decline by the time we reach age 40, and our findings show that people as young as 20 already have memory problems.

2 Weeks to a Younger Brain will not only improve your memory, but will also strengthen your physical health by reducing your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The latest research confirms that there is a lot we can do to boost our memory and keep our brains young. After three decades of helping thousands of patients improve their memory and mental acuity, Dr. Small and Gorgan are convinced that our daily lifestyle habits are directly linked to our brain health. This book will show that it only takes two weeks to form new habits that bolster cognitive abilities and help stave off, or even reverse, brain aging.

If you commit only 14 days to 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain, you will reap noticeable results. During that brief period, you will have learned the secrets to keeping your brain young for the rest of your life.

Visualize Your Greatness is more than a memoir—it’s a masterclass in purpose, grit, and godly ambition from Hall of Fame linebacker and leadership mentor Mike Singletary. Raised in Houston’s Sunnyside neighborhood under the weight of poverty and generational pain, Singletary refused to accept despair as his destiny. At age twelve, he wrote down a vision for his life—and then lived it.

With unflinching honesty and deep compassion, Singletary recounts the principles that carried him to the highest levels of professional football. But this isn’t a story about sports. It’s about the internal battles we all face—the lies we believe, the trauma we carry, and the excuses we cling to. Through powerful personal stories and spiritual clarity, Singletary introduces readers to the Seven Cs of Success—a practical, faith-centered framework for lasting change.

This is a book for those tired of drifting. For those raised in hard places. For those who believe in God but have forgotten how to believe in themselves.

By focusing on self-awareness and growth, people discover how to maximize the contribution they make to the world around them.

True character is the inner strength to live in alignment with one’s values, especially when faced with adversity.

Harness the power of permaculture to change yourself and become a regenerative force for the planet.

Human Permaculture is a powerful, forward-thinking guide that uses permaculture principles of ecological design rooted in people care, Earth care, and fair share for redesigning your life and community to align with the resources available on the planet.

As climate change, ecological decline, and social breakdown start to bite, people expect that governments will solve our problems. Yet this belief has proven to be false. Rather than looking to others, changes must come from the inside out: transforming the "I" to "we," changing the world by changing ourselves, and re-establishing our deep connection to nature.

Richly illustrated and inspiring, Human Permaculture offers specific actions and tools for adopting an ethical, regenerative way of life. Coverage includes:

• Human permaculture principles
• A nine-step ecological and social life design process
• Discovering your personal niche
• Stimulating the permaculture "edge effect" to work with others in efficient teams
• Rediscovering our deep connections to water, soil, forests, and caring for nature.

This guide is for everyone who wants to find their own meaning in life, put their talents at the service of the environment, live ethically, and navigate the great transition we face in a future of climate change and energy decline.

Bernard Alonso is co-founder of the Collaborative International University of Transition and a human permaculture facilitator, speaker, coach, and project designer. He lives in Quebec, Canada. www.permacultureinternationale.org

Cécile Guiochon is a French journalist and holder of a Permaculture Design Certificate. She co-founded KerWatt, which develops citizen projects renewable energy in Brittany, France. www.e-ker.org

In the wake of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh—the worst garment industry accident in recorded history—the words "fashion disaster" acquired a new and much more sinister meaning.

Now the industry is undergoing a shift, and many of us are questioning our buying habits. The rise of socially and environmentally responsible retailers like Patagonia and The Body Shop has led to dramatic changes in the eco and ethical fashion landscape. Magnifeco is the Fast Food Nation of the fashion world—your guide to making a difference too. In this guide, author Kate Black:

A different kind of hope for living in these turbulent times

Climate disruption. Growing social inequality. Pollution. We are living in an era of unprecedented crises, resulting in widespread feelings of fear, despair, and grief. Now, more than ever, maintaining hope for the future is a monumental task.

Intrinsic Hope offers a powerful antidote to these feelings. It shows how conventional ideas of hope are rooted in the belief that life will conform to our wishes and how this leads to disappointment, despair, and a dismal view of the future. As an alternative, it offers "intrinsic hope," a powerful, liberating, and positive approach to life based on having a deep trust in whatever happens. The author, a hopeful survivor, shows how to cultivate intrinsic hope through practical tips and six mindful habits for living a positive, courageous life in these troubled times.

Whether working directly on ecological or social issues or worried about children and grandchildren, this book is for everyone concerned about the future and looking for a deeper source of hope for a better world.

El poeta más vendido de Corea del Sur nos presenta una antología de relatos llenos de belleza e inteligencia acerca de la esencia de la vida.

¿Quién soy? ¿Qué es la felicidad y cuál es el sentido de la vida?
¿Cómo permanecer en el momento presente? ¿Qué puede sanar un corazón herido?

Todas estas preguntas se las planteó el gran poeta coreano en su juventud, hasta que finalmente entendió que es la propia vida quien nos entrega las respuestas a lo largo del tiempo si estamos dispuestos a aceptarlas. Porque vivir significa escribir tu propia historia y no cumplir las expectativas de los demás. Significa aceptar tu vida, incluso cuando duele, cuando se enfrentan pérdidas y duelos.

Las historias de este libro contienen las respuestas que Shiva Ryu recibió a sus preguntas. Están llenas de profundidad y verdadera belleza. Y, de alguna manera, al leerlas, uno siente como si conversara con el autor sobre la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

South Korea’s Best-Selling Poet Presents an Anthology of Stories Filled with Beauty and Wisdom About the Essence of Life

Who am I? What is happiness, and what is the meaning of life? How can one stay present in the moment? What can heal a wounded heart?

These were the questions that the great Korean poet pondered in his youth—until he finally realized that life itself provides the answers over time, if we are willing to accept them. Because living means writing your own story, not fulfilling others’ expectations. It means embracing your life, even when it hurts, when facing loss and grief.

The stories in this book contain the answers Shiva Ryu received to his questions. They are filled with depth and true beauty. And somehow, as you read them, you feel as though you are having a conversation with the author about life.

Libérate del rol de víctima y deja de crear caos gratuito en tu vida

Todos hemos sentido alguna vez que el mundo está en nuestra contra, pero si tu respuesta ante cualquier pequeño problema es «¡¿Por qué a mí?!», puede que tengas una adicción al drama. La buena noticia es que esta guía te ayudará a entender que al actuar como drama queen, en realidad estás empleando un mecanismo de defensa. En el drama hay trauma.

El caos que generamos en nuestra vida es un intento por conseguir que alguien escuche nuestro dolor y lo valide. Cuando actuamos desde el rol de víctima, solemos pelear sin motivo, y el resultado es que nos sentimos cada vez más estancados y aislados de los demás.

El doctor Scott Lyons, un «dramático en recuperación», te ayuda a reconocer los patrones que te mantienen en un ciclo de crisis y niveles de estrés crónicos, a detectar los efectos somáticos del dramatismo, y te acompaña por las cinco etapas que propone para la sanación: conciencia, acción, llegada, soltar y pertenencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Break Free from the Victim Role and Stop Creating Unnecessary Chaos in Your Life

We’ve all felt at some point that the world is against us, but if your response to any small problem is “Why me?!” you might have a drama addiction. The good news is that this guide will help you understand that acting like a drama queen is actually a defense mechanism. There is trauma in drama.

The chaos we create in our lives is often an attempt to get someone to hear and validate our pain. When we operate from the victim role, we tend to fight for no reason, leaving us feeling increasingly stuck and isolated from others.

Dr. Scott Lyons, a “recovering dramatic,”  helps you recognize the patterns that keep you trapped in cycles of crisis and chronic stress, identify the somatic effects of drama, and guides you through the five healing stages he proposes: awareness, action, arrival, release, and belonging.

1. Self-Awareness

2. Self-Management

3. Social Awareness

4. Relationship Management

Includes the #1 EQ Assessment Tool
Each copy includes a unique passcode to access the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal®:

Emotional Intelligence Habits is a groundbreaking new book from Dr. Travis Bradberry, author of the bestselling Emotional Intelligence 2.0 that has sold millions of copies worldwide. In Emotional Intelligence Habits, Dr. Bradberry, the world’s foremost expert on EQ, offers an abundance of practical strategies that will teach you how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the micro behaviors that will take your EQ to new heights. The book includes a passcode to the updated online edition of the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal®, which will show you where your EQ stands today and which new habits from the book will help increase your EQ.

By now, emotional intelligence (EQ) needs little introduction—it’s no secret that EQ is critical to your success—personally and professionally. But knowing what EQ is and how to use it to improve your life are two very different things. Emotional Intelligence Habits offers a proven framework for increasing your EQ via tiny habits that can yield big results. Step-by-step, you’ll learn the key habits that will increase your core EQ skills:

• How years of research studying the world’s major religions convinced Dr. Joseph Murphy that some great power lay behind them all.
• How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success within reach of the average person. This was the focal point of Napoleon Hill’s books.
• One of the core ideas of Dale Carnegie’s books; that it is possible to change other people’s behavior by changing one’s own reaction to them.

For readers navigating grief, spiritual seekers questioning the nature of love and the afterlife, or anyone who’s ever whispered I miss you into the void—this book will speak to you.

When Kathryn Henry lost her wife Lisa to a rare, aggressive cancer, she was thrust into a profound sense of loss that threatened to consume her. What followed was not simply mourning, it was spiritual reckoning. A Dime to Say I Love You is a searingly honest memoir of love and loss, and a shared journey of spiritual excavation and growth. With unflinching vulnerability and hard-won clarity, Henry invites readers into the sacred space of their journey—and the unexpected transformation that came along the way.

This is not your typical memoir. Grounded in the raw reality of terminal illness and deeply personal moments of love and caring, Henry writes with a voice forged by trauma, resilience, and deep spiritual inquiry. The story unfolds against a backdrop of shared adventures, from renovating homes to hiking in Japan, where even the smallest discoveries became reminders of Lisa's enduring presence. Along the way, dimes appear—small silver tokens that become metaphysical breadcrumbs, pointing the way toward connection beyond death.

A Dime to Say I Love You is a moving testament to the enduring power of love and a reminder that even in the darkness of grief, light can be found. It is a book for anyone seeking comfort, inspiration, or a deeper connection to their own journey.

Blending memoir with meditative practice, Henry’s story is both intimate and expansive. Each chapter includes introspective prompts that invite the reader to reflect, breathe, and listen to their own inner wisdom.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, Joan Didion, and Thich Nhat Hanh, A Dime to Say I Love You offers not answers, but resonance—a reminder that pain is not the opposite of love, but its echo.

• Dr. Murphy's four-step master key to wealth
• How to achieve abundance and continuing prosperity
• Your true inner potential to achieve wealth and success
• The power of your subconscious mind to help you create new paths to prosperity

Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. La palabra "genio" evoca a estas figuras icónicas, cuyas contribuciones han transformado de forma irreversible a la sociedad. Sin embargo, Beethoven no sabía multiplicar, Picasso reprobó matemáticas en la primaria y Jobs dejó la universidad después del primer semestre.

¿Qué dice esto sobre cómo medimos el éxito en la actualidad? ¿Por qué nos enseñan a comportarnos según las reglas, cuando los genios han hecho todo lo contrario? Y a todo esto, ¿qué es en realidad ser un genio?

El profesor Craig Wright, creador del popular curso Explorando la Naturaleza del Genio de la Universidad de Yale, revela lo que podemos aprender de las mentes brillantes que han cambiado al mundo. Al examinar la vida de individuos que van desde Charles Darwin y Leonardo da Vinci hasta Elon Musk y Andy Warhol, Wright identifica los 14 rasgos de las grandes mentes de la historia.

Las ideas brillantes NO suelen ser repentinas; son el resultado de modos de pensar únicos y una dedicación constante. Los hábitos mentales que producen grandes descubrimientos se pueden aprender y cultivar, y Wright nos muestra cómo.

Este libro no te convertirá en un genio. Pero adoptar los hábitos secretos de estas personas te hará más estratégico, creativo, exitoso y, en última instancia, más feliz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. The word "genius" evokes these iconic figures, whose contributions have irreversibly shaped society. Yet Beethoven couldn’t multiply, Picasso failed math in elementary school, and Jobs dropped out of college after his first semester.

What does this say about how we measure success today? Why are we taught to follow the rules when geniuses have done the exact opposite? And ultimately, what does it really mean to be a genius?

Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University’s popular course Exploring the Nature of Genius, uncovers what we can learn from the brilliant minds that have changed the world. By examining individuals ranging from Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci to Elon Musk and Andy Warhol, Wright identifies the 14 traits shared by history’s greatest minds.

Brilliant ideas are NOT sudden sparks; they are the result of unique ways of thinking and unwavering dedication. The mental habits that drive groundbreaking discoveries can be learned and cultivated, and Wright shows us how.

This book won’t turn you into a genius. But adopting the secret habits of these extraordinary individuals will make you more strategic, creative, successful, and ultimately, happier.

¿Eres capaz de superar lo que te frena?

¿Qué te frena en la vida, en el amor y en el trabajo para superarte?

Probablemente has sentido que algo en tu vida no está bien o que ni siquiera avanza: tus relaciones, tu trayectoria profesional o tu cambio de hábitos. Pero a pesar de que tu agobiante crítico interno insista en ello, no tienes un problema de motivación. Hay algo más detrás de tus planes de autocuidado, listas de actividades y metas desatendidas, y salir de ahí es más fácil de lo que imaginas.

En esta guía orientada a la acción, Britt Frank, neuropsicoterapeuta experta en comportamiento humano, te muestra cómo funciona el estancamiento, por qué no puedes avanzar y cómo superar aquello que te ha detenido durante tanto tiempo. Con un enfoque ecléctico y un plan personalizable tan directo o tan profundo como desees, podrás:

• Tener perspectiva sobre el dolor y el trauma del pasado
• Liberarte de la tortuosa pregunta «¿Por qué no progreso?»
• Tomar el control de tus elecciones para construir la vida que deseas.

Avanza con propósito, confianza y con la libertad de transformarte en quien realmente estás destinado a ser.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Are You Capable of Overcoming What Holds You Back?

What is stopping you from growing in life, love, and work?

You’ve probably felt like something in your life isn’t right or that it’s not moving forward—whether it’s your relationships, your career path, or your attempts to change habits. But despite what your relentless inner critic insists, you don’t have a motivation problem. There is something deeper behind your neglected self-care plans, activity lists, and abandoned goals, and breaking free is easier than you think.

In this action-oriented guide, Britt Frank, a neuropsychotherapist specializing in human behavior, explains how stagnation works, why you feel stuck, and how to overcome what has held you back for so long. With an eclectic approach and a customizable plan that can be as straightforward or as deep as you choose, you will learn to:

• Gain perspective on past pain and trauma
• Free yourself from the torturous question: "Why am I not progressing?"
• Take control of your choices to build the life you want

Move forward with purpose, confidence, and the freedom to become who you are truly meant to be.

What if a simple act of kindness could change a life forever?

In Earth Angels, Sandy Lundy shares a heartfelt exploration of compassion’s transformative power, inspired by her journey through unimaginable loss. After her eleven-year-old son, Shane, died by suicide following relentless bullying, Sandy made a conscious choice to channel her pain into a mission of hope and action.

This moving book celebrates the quiet strength of everyday heroes—Earth Angels—who inspire change through small acts of kindness. Lundy blends deeply personal reflections with real-world stories to show how even the simplest gestures can ripple outward, touching countless lives. With insights into the impact of bullying, the healing power of community, and the importance of empathy, Earth Angels challenges readers to make compassion a daily practice. But compassion, kindness, and integrity are not just character traits; they are actions—choices we must consciously make every day. Whether it’s a high-five, a word of encouragement, or standing up to cruelty, these small acts have the power to transform lives in ways we may never fully realize.

For anyone searching for hope in times of grief, inspiration to uplift others, or guidance in building a kinder world, Earth Angels is a powerful reminder that extraordinary change begins with ordinary actions. This book is a tribute to those who lead with integrity and a call to action for anyone ready to make a difference.

A companion journal to the classic book of meditations that helps to make letting go a daily practice, from the author of Codependent No More.

The Language of Letting Go Journal offers a daily invitation to further the journey of recovery through the act of reflection. “Of the many healing behaviors I’ve learned to practice, letting go—in all its shapes and forms—is the most influential, profound, and life altering,” Beattie notes in the preface to this new edition.

This workbook is designed to be used with Recovery the Native Way, a short book in this series that deals with the impact that your Native heritage might have on your substance abuse as well as how your traditions might contribute to a fruitful and positive recovery. A person’s culture and its importance to emotional health are emphasized. When their way of life is weakened or when people lose touch with it, pain can result. This suffering may lead to substance abuse.

If, on the other hand, people have a good relationship with their culture, it can be a source of comfort and strength that can help them to cope and recover. The goal of Recovery the Native Way and this workbook is to deal with how cultural issues can lead both to substance abuse and recovery. The ideas presented largely reflect the experiences of Handsome Lake, the nineteenth century leader who overcame alcoholism and helped his tribe to do the same. Because this book is inspired by the experiences of actual Native people who have successful overcame addiction, I hope it will ring true and help you. By using this workbook when reading Recovery the Native Way, you can better understand yourself and your behavior. This is a key to recovery.

Specific exercises in this workbook correspond to chapters in Recovery the Native Way. You will read a chapter from the book and then use the workbook to clarify your personal feelings. There are no right or wrong answers as long as you are honest and true to yourself. If you respond truthfully and carefully, the effort can be a very useful tool of your recovery. Most basically, the workbook will help you better understand your Native heritage, the mainstream culture, and the relationship between the two. Work hard and good luck.

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.

Living Sober in an Industry Ravaged by Addiction
As a child, Steve Palmer never belonged—not in school, not in his troubled home, not with friends. After his father and grandfather passed away, he was sent to a series of rehabs and halfway houses before ending up on the streets. Drugs and alcohol soon became a way of life. Eventually, he would go on to a career running some of the country’s most celebrated and innovative fine dining establishments. But first, he had to learn how to be sober in an industry awash with alcohol and drugs. Thanks to coworkers that were able to love him when he couldn’t love himself, Steve got sober. He escaped addiction alive. Many in the industry do not. No other industry has higher rates of alcohol and drug abuse. People are losing careers and families. They’re losing their health. They’re losing their lives. This is the story of one man who found healing and recovery in the industry that enabled his addiction—and he’s on a quest to help others do the same.

What the opioid epidemic teaches us about the addiction at the root of our social life—and how we free ourselves from it.

How To Break An Addiction paints an original and dynamic portrait of the nature of the opioid crisis while offering original commentary on what the crisis portends about the present historical conjuncture. Interrogating long- and short-run, macro and micro, national and global, structural and personal factors, it takes the ongoing US opioid crisis as a jumping off point to illustrate the profound conclusion: capitalism at its core is an addiction.

In a blend of memoir, historical record, original research, and theoretical and cultural analysis, critical geographer and harm reduction activist Annie Spencer argues against a dominant ‘progressive’ presumption of the need to reform (or ‘save’) capitalism, demonstrating instead the imperative to think, organize, and enact new ways of being and provisioning together on a living Earth.

How To Break An Addiction renders visible the extent to which the world we inhabit today is made by addiction—in capital’s image—and against life and well-being. Spencer calls for redress of the deepening crisis of addiction and the so-called ‘epidemic’ of pain at its root; for a paradigm shift away from the dominant economic logic in favor of new kinds of ecosystemic social practice and provision. We must innovate a new way of being human together in the here and now. Spencer’s first-person narration anchors rigorous and far-reaching research and theory, making for an original and impactful tour through capital’s addiction to crisis and our ability—and need—to break from it.

Chances are someone you know is a sex addict (or is living with one).

Sex addiction is a growing menace that threatens all strata of our society, destroying millions of marriages, damaging reputations, contributing to suicides and in some cases prison sentences, and wasting mind-boggling amounts of money. But there is hope.

Sex addiction is treatable. Through the rigorous recovery program detailed in these pages, it is possible for sex addicts to stop all of their destructive behaviors—forever. The recovery road is long and difficult, but also very rewarding. Marriages have not only been restored, but enriched. By following the steps described in Stop Sex Addiction, addicts and their partners have found the path to freedom from sex addiction. You have taken the first steps along that path by picking up this book. The wisdom it contains will lead to real hope and true freedom.
