Brave, Beautiful and Baring it All: Opening Our Hearts to Happiness No Matter What Life Throws At Us
by Rhyanna WatsonIn this bold, compassionate title, yoga teacher, wellness trainer and social media sensation Rhyanna Watson - who has come out the other side of a lot of personal trauma both stronger and happier - explores how to strip back your protective layers, feel brave and beautiful again, and make the rest of your life the best of your life.Rhyanna's nurturing yet empowering text encourages us to get out of our heads and more into our bodies and hearts in order to reconnect with both ourselves and others - to feel less judged, more accepted; less flawed, more worthy; less insecure, more confident; less scared, more loved.As the title suggests, the key message is that it's only when we're willing to be brave, open our minds and hearts, get fit from the inside out, and both 'bare' it all (allowing ourselves to be vulnerable when appropriate) and 'bear' it all (accepting both the good and the bad with patience and grace) that we will be able to feel our most beautiful and live our best lives. Being brave doesn't mean we have to jump out of planes or fight lions of course! It simply means being open enough to really get to know and love ourselves, stripped of all societal pressures and expectations. And when it comes to being beautiful, well, we're all beautiful in our own ways, so it's just about accepting our own truth and embracing and believing in ourselves!

This book is packed with practical advice on the craft: about how to create characters and plot a story that's exciting to read. But maybe even more helpful is the insight she provides into the persistence, and perseverance, it takes to live a productive, creative life. And she answers the age-old question Where do you get your ideas? by revealing how events in her own life became the seeds of her best-loved novels.Hope in the Mail is a wildly inspirational read for anyone with a story to share.

by John KimEl terapeuta enojado (The Angry Therapist) que ha ayudado a miles de hombres a encontrar más felicidad en sus relaciones y más propósito en sus vidas ahora comparte sus ideas con todos en esta poderosa y concisa guía de autoayuda, que cubre temas esenciales, desde la vulnerabilidad y las actitudes pretenciosas hasta los ejercicios y la mujer.Después de pasar por un divorcio y buscar profundamente dentro de su alma, John Kim llegó a una asombrosa realización: era un c*abrón amagado y que era el único responsable de los problemas en su vida. Armado con esta nueva perspectiva, comenzó el blog The Angry Therapist, una admisión de que, mientras era un terapeuta y entrenador de vida autorizado, no era mejor que las personas que buscaban su consejo. En su primer escrito, "My Fucking Feelings", escribió sobre las dificultades y las deficiencias que lo habían llevado a este punto. A medida que avanzaba su trabajo, catapultándolo al rol de guía poco convencional y poco convencional para miles de personas en todo el mundo, Kim evolucionó de comportarse como un niño a vivir como un hombre, y mostró a sus clientes cómo hacerlo también.En Yo era un c*brón amargado, Kim reflexiona en lo que debe y lo que no debe hacer para mejorar su condición de hombre, lo que define como hombre de acuerdo a su transparencia y fuerza de carácter, no por abdominales o la mejor oficina. Con su exclusivo enfoque, despreocupado y liviano que te hará reír y pensar. Kim te llevará a un viaje inusual y accidentado de autoexploración y descubrimiento. Compartirá su sabiduría e información, en asuntos de cómo por qué:• Ser agradable es para los niños, y ser amable es para los hombres • Hacer tiempo para los amigos podría convertirte en un mejor amigo, amante y ser humano” • Orinarse en la ducha es un signo de un problema mayor • Discutir, juzgar y responder, "No lo sé" te impide tener una relación saludable, una gran carrera y una vida feliz No nacemos ya hombres. Nacemos niños. La transición de la miseria a encontrar el sentido, es un proceso interno que requiere trabajo: reflexión, dolor, valor y, a veces, un renacimiento. Kim lo sabe porque él ha estado allí. La verdad es que los hombres no estaban destinados solo a pagar facturas y morir. Con este libro como guía, amarás mucho, caminarás alto y encontrarás una vida llena de propósito y pasión.

All You Have to Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success
by Wayne BakerA set of tools for mastering the one skill standing between us and success: the ability to ask for the things we need to succeed. Imagine you&’re on a deadline for a big project, and feeling overwhelmed. Or you're looking for a job, but can't seem to get your foot in the door. Or you're dying for tickets to a sold out concert, and all your leads have gone cold. What do these problems have in common? They can all be solved simply by reaching out to a colleague, friend, or wider network and making an ask. Studies show that asking for help makes us better and less frustrated at our jobs. It helps us find new opportunities and new talent. It unlocks new ideas and solutions, and enhances team performance. And it helps us get the things we need outside the workplace as well. And yet, we rarely give ourselves permission to ask. Luckily, the research shows that asking—and getting—what we need is much easier than we tend to think. Here, Wayne Baker shares a set of strategies—used at companies like Google, GM, and IDEO—that individuals, teams, and leaders can use to make asking for help a personal and organizational habit, including: • A quiz to identify your asking-giving style • SMART criteria for who, when, and how to ask • &“Plug-and-play &” routines that make requests a standard component of meetings • Mini-games that incentivize asking within teams • The Reciprocity Ring, a guided activity that allows people to tap into the giving power of a network Picking up where the bestselling book Give and Take left off, All You Have to Do Is Ask shows us how to ignite the cycle of giving and receiving by asking for the things we need.Advance praise for All You Have to Do Is Ask&“Asking for help and support has been a key to my success. Wayne Baker expertly shares how everyone can do it.&”—Shellye Archambeau, former CEO, MetricStream, and board director, Verizon and Nordstrom &“Wayne Baker shares the formula for driving personal, organizational, and social change by tapping the power of our teams and networks for help. This insightful book is a must-read for anyone seeking practical and proven solutions to make our workplaces and world a better place.&”—Noel Tichy, professor, University of Michigan, and author of Judgment and Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will
Lecciones de liderazgo creativo: Mi gran aventura al frente de la empresa que ha convertido la magia en realidad
by Robert A. IgerEl CEO de Disney comparte las ideas y los valores que le han permitido reinventar una de las compañías más admiradas del mundo e inspirar a las personas que dan vida a la magia. Robert Iger se convirtió en CEO de la Walt Disney Company en 2005 durante un momento difícil para la empresa. La moral se había deteriorado, la competencia era intensa y la tecnología estaba cambiando más rápido que en cualquier otro momento de la historia. Su proyecto de futuro se basaba en tres ideas muy claras: renovar el compromiso con la importancia de la calidad, integrar la tecnología en lugar de luchar contra ella y pensar con ambición y con una visión global para convertir a Disney en una marca más fuerte en los mercados internacionales. Catorce años después, Disney es la compañía de medios más grande y respetada del mundo, y cuenta entre sus propiedades con Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm y 21st Century Fox. Con Robert Iger al frente, reconocido como uno de los CEO más innovadores y exitosos de nuestra era, el valor de la empresa se ha quintuplicado. En Lecciones de liderazgo creativo, Iger comparte las lecciones aprendidas al frente de Disney y de sus 200.000 empleados y explora los principios necesarios para un verdadero liderazgo, que son: Optimismo. Incluso ante las dificultades, un líder optimista encontrará el camino hacia el mejor resultado posible y se centrará en ello, en lugar de ceder ante el pesimismo y la culpa. Valentía. Los líderes deben estar dispuestos a correr riesgos y a hacer grandes apuestas. El miedo al fracaso destruye la creatividad. Decisión. Todas las decisiones, por complejas que parezcan, pueden tomarse de manera oportuna. La indecisión es un derroche y mina la moral. Equidad. Hay que tratar a las personas con decencia, empatía y ser accesible para ellas. Este libro muestra la inagotable curiosidad que ha impulsado a Iger durante cuarenta y cinco años, desde el día en que comenzó como humilde aprendiz en un estudio de la ABC. Y trata también de la consideración y el respeto, y la primacía de la dignidad sobre el dinero que ha sido fundamental en todos los proyectos impulsados por Iger, desde la profunda amistad con Steve Jobs en sus últimos años hasta el perdurable amor por la mitología de «Star Wars». «Las ideas de este libro me parecen universales», escribe Iger. «No solo para los aspirantes a CEO del mundo, sino para todas aquellas personas que quieran sentirse menos temerosas, con más confianza en sí mismas, en su trayectoria profesional e incluso personal.» Reseñas:«Cultivar la creatividad es más un arte que una habilidad, especialmente en una empresa que es sinónimo de creatividad. Y eso constituye un gran reto. Bob Iger no solo ha estado a la altura de noventa y seis años de una historia revolucionaria, sino que ha llevado la marca Disney mucho más allá de cualquier expectativa y lo ha hecho con audacia y con acierto. Este libro cuenta cómo lo ha logrado.»Steven Spielberg «Hemos esperado años a que Bob Iger compartiera sus secretos de liderazgo. Por fin lo ha hecho y son absolutamente brillantes. Lecciones de liderazgo creativo no son solo unas memorias, pues el libro ofrece la oportunidad de departir abiertamente con el CEO más clarividente, sino también son una guía imprescindible para afrontar los desafíos más relevantes de nuestra era: cómo impulsar el cambio, aprovechar la tecnología, construir una cultura duradera y empoderar a las personas. Una lectura apasionante y muy reveladora.»Daniel Coyle, autor de Cuando las arañas tejen juntas pueden atar a un león y El pequeño libro del talento «Era de esperar que una obra escrita por la persona que ha dirigido Disney durante décadas destacara por un relato apasionante y por una gran sabiduría sobre el liderazgo. Bob Iger lo ha conseguido y ha ido incluso más allá. Su libro

All Things Being Equal: Why Math Is the Key to a Better World
by John MightonFrom the award-winning founder of JUMP Math, All Things Being Equal is a proven guide to succeeding in math, and a passionate argument for why this success can and must be available to the majority instead of the privileged few. For two decades, John Mighton has developed strategies for fostering intellectual potential in all children through learning math. Math, Mighton says, provides us with mental tools of incredible power. When we learn math we learn to see patterns, to think logically and systematically, to draw analogies, to perceive risk, to understand cause and effect--among many other critical skills. Yet we tolerate and in fact expect a vast performance gap in math among students, and live in a world where many adults aren't equipped with these crucial tools. This learning gap is unnecessary, dangerous and tragic, he cautions, and it has led us to a problem of intellectual poverty which is apparent everywhere--in fake news, political turmoil, floundering economies, even in erroneous medical diagnoses. In All Things Being Equal, Mighton argues that math study is an ideal starting point to break down social inequality and empower individuals to build a smarter, kinder, more equitable world. Bringing together the latest cognitive research and incremental learning strategies, Mighton goes deep into the classroom and beyond to offer a hopeful--and urgent--vision for a numerate society.

Older, but Better, but Older: From the Authors of How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are
by Sophie Mas Caroline De MaigretFrom the bestselling authors of How to be Parisian, what smart, savvy, fabulous French women think, feel and advise as they hit forty on life, love, and everything elseOlder, but Better, but Older has the playful wit, self deprecation and worldly advice we have come to expect from these bestselling authors, but now that advice is focused on the French woman's mindset as she hurtles towards forty. Caroline de Maigret and Sophie Mas are back to amuse you with how they find they are modifying their favorite bad-girl behavior as they address beauty, love, seduction as well as lifestyle, family, work, and living alone. They are still bohemian iconoclasts saying what you don't expect to hear. They will tell you things aren't what they used to be--when a thirty-year-old guy arrives at a party and does not even glance at you; when you wake up feeling great and everyone tells you how tired you look; you know you're an adult when you're excited just to go home. Neuroses vs. confidence, resistance vs. acceptance, passion vs. serenity, de Maigret and Mas through spirited short stories capture the different stages of ageing--as nostalgic but modern Parisian women. From the privately absurd to the strangely universal, this book captures moments of everyday life that will make the reader nod, cringe, and laugh out loud.
The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store
by Cait FlandersIn her late twenties, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy —only keeping her from meeting her goals —she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year.The Year of Less documents Cait’s life for twelve months during which she bought only consumables: groceries, toiletries, gas for her car. Along the way, she challenged herself to consume less of many other things besides shopping. She decluttered her apartment and got rid of 70 percent of her belongings; learned how to fix things rather than throw them away; researched the zero waste movement; and completed a television ban. At every stage, she learned that the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt.The challenge became a lifeline when, in the course of the year, Cait found herself in situations that turned her life upside down. In the face of hardship, she realized why she had always turned to shopping, alcohol, and food —and what it had cost her. Unable to reach for any of her usual vices, she changed habits she’d spent years perfecting and discovered what truly mattered to her.Blending Cait’s compelling story with inspiring insight and practical guidance, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you’re holding on to in your own life —and, quite possibly, lead you to find your own path of less.

From Beginning to End: The Rituals of Our Lives
by Robert FulghumFROM BEGINNING TO ENDWhy "rituals"?My thinking was set in motion by those who, knowing I was a parish minister for many years, have asked me for advice about ceremonies and celebrations. They wanted words to use at graduations, funerals, and the welcoming of children. They inquired about grace at family meals, the reaffirmation of wedding vows, and ways to heal wounds suffered in personal conflict. People requested help with the rituals of solitude, such as meditation, prayer, and contemplation. . . .Rituals do not always involve words, occasions, officials, or an audience. Rituals are often silent, solitary, and self-contained. The most powerful rites of passage are reflective--when you look back on your life again and again, paying attention to the rivers you have crossed and the gates you have opened and walked on through, the thresholds you have passed over.I see ritual when people sit together silently by an open fire.Remembering.As human beings have remembered for thousands and thousands of years.FULGHUMFrom the Paperback edition.
Finding God's Life for My Will: His Presence Is the Plan
by Mike DoneheyThe lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for award-winning contemporary Christian band Tenth Avenue North shows readers that by seeking God first and focusing on serving Him, we can live daily in His will."Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret--just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life."This is my story...how I gave up begging to know God's will and began to ask His life to come and change my will."With his signature humor and relentless hunger for God, Mike will show you that discovering the Father's purpose and plan for our lives is not the shell game that we all too often make it out to be. If you're unsure what to do next, take heart and accept the ultimate invitation: learn to see God as the plan, not simply the formula to the plan.

Welcome to the middle!In these intimate reflections on midlife, Lisa-Jo Baker invites women to get a good look at their middles and gives permission to embrace them--beyond what the media, the mirror, the magazines, or our teenagers say. Through gutsy, beautiful storytelling, she admits out loud what most women are thinking about marriage, parenting, failure, and how badly we all want to buy those matching Magnolia Market mugs. Her delicious stories come from not being afraid of who she is (Your Age is Not a Dirty Word). Because she has finally grown comfortable in her own skin (The Scale is Not the Boss of You). She's not asking you to seize the day, just to make sure you actually see it; for all its wildly ordinary glory (Sobbing in my Minivan Over Honor Roll). Because Lisa-Jo knows that the middle might be the best part of the love story of life, muffin top included.
