This is Cancer: Everything You Need to Know, from the Waiting Room to the Bedroom

When Laura Holmes Haddad was diagnosed, she discovered shelf upon shelf of overly-earnest, somber, gray survival books, and knew there had to be a better way.

A "what to expect when you’re expecting” book for the diagnosis you don’t want but are stuck with, This Is Cancer is the book that patients keep in their "heading to the hospital bag,” because it’s the only one that tells them what’s going on and keeps them company.Including such useful snippets as: There is no limit to what you will put yourself through when told it might save your life.

Reciprocal Mentoring (Routledge EMCC Global Masters in Coaching and Mentoring)
by Julie Haddock-MillarReciprocal mentoring represents an approach to mentoring in organisations that is both timely and of critical importance in the context of diversity, inclusion, equity, and the power shift in mentoring practice. This book provides insight into how reciprocal mentoring programmes can strengthen mutual learning and encourage true partnership between participants.

Three different approaches to reciprocal mentoring programmes are set out: reciprocal by design, reciprocal by default, and reciprocal as an output.

This book will be useful for any individuals and teams involved in the development of mentoring programmes. The range of approaches and frameworks presented in this book will benefit mentoring and coaching practitioners, managers, consultants, professionals in a variety of organisational contexts, and researchers.

The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win
by Jeff HadenFrom Inc.com's most popular columnist, a counterintuitive--but highly practical--guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things. It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past—and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams. Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration --as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe--but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn 2 million readers a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month. Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.
An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything
by Chris HadfieldColonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst-and enjoy every moment of it. In An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Col. Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks, and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement-and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counterintuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff. You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Col. Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth-especially your own.

Human Hacking provides tools that will help you establish rapport with strangers, use body language and verbal cues to your advantage, steer conversations and influence other’s decisions, and protect yourself from manipulators.

Hadnagy includes lessons and interactive “missions”—exercises spread throughout the book to help you learn the skills, practice them, and master them. With Human Hacking, you’ll soon be winning friends, influencing people, and achieving your goals.

¿Y ahora qué hacemos?: Preguntas y respuestas después de una infidelidad
by Alejandra Godoy Haeberle Antonio Godoy Delard¿De qué manera se puede abordar terapéuticamente los episodios de infidelidad en la pareja? ¿Qué entendemos por infidelidad? ¿Han aumentado las infidelidades en el último tiempo? Quien fue infiel ¿lo volverá a ser? ¿Una pareja se puede recuperar después de una infidelidad? Estas y otras preguntas que muchos nos hemos hecho por años respecto de la infidelidad son las que responden los psicólogos Alejandra y Antonio Godoy, especialistas en pareja y sexualidad. A través del análisis de numerosos casos y de una extensa revisión de investigaciones, los autores abordan uno de los temas más complejos que viven algunas parejas: la infidelidad y cómo abordarla para evitar un quiebre. Con una vasta base teórica y a partir del estudio de ejemplos muy actuales, Alejandra y Antonio Godoy ofrecen una nueva mirada, la cual puede servir como guía para parejas, terapeutas, comunicadores y para todos aquellos que quieran orientar a aquellas que estén pasando por esta compleja situación como lo es una crisis pos-infidelidad "Nuestro principal objetivo es entregarles una mirada amplia y desprejuiciada que los ayude a derribar el sinnúmero de mitos que prevalecen al hablar de infidelidad. Para ello procuramos exponerles desde distintos ángulos los hallazgos más relevantes, basándonos tanto en información empírica como en nuestros años de experiencia clínica. Tenemos la esperanza de que ahora estén más dispuestos a dejar de lado sus creencias TAN arraigadas y generen nuevas interpretaciones que los conduzcan no solo a evitar la separación sino también a fortalecer su relación", aseguran los expertos en su libro. Como ellos mismos plantean, la idea es entregar una visión más amplia respecto de la infidelidad y persuadir a quienes la han vivido de que esta problemática no puede ser vista desde categorías como "bueno" y "malo", y de que no existen verdades absolutas en este asunto. Es posible que al final queden más preguntas y cuestionamientos en el aire que respuestas y aseveraciones, lo que puede ser una tremenda oportunidad para enriquecer el diálogo de la pareja.
