What to Say Next: Successful Communication in Work, Life, and Love—with Autism Spectrum Disorder
by Sarah Nannery Larry NanneryUsing her personal experience living as a professional woman with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sarah Nannery, together with her husband, Larry, offers this timely communication guide for anyone on the Autism spectrum looking to successfully navigate work, life, and love. When Sarah Nannery got her first job at a small nonprofit, she thought she knew exactly what it would take to advance. But soon she realized that even with hard work and conscientiousness, she was missing key meanings and messages embedded in her colleagues&’ everyday requests, feedback, and praise. She had long realized her brain operated differently than others, but now she knew for sure: she had Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). With help from her neurotypical partner—now husband—Larry, mostly in frantic IM chats, Sarah rose to Director of Development at one of the world&’s largest nonprofits. Together they have tackled challenges in how Sarah navigates personal and professional relationships, how they navigate marriage and parenthood, all of which are differently challenging for someone with ASD. But she wonders, at times, how life would be different if she&’d had to figure it all out herself. So, in What to Say Next, she offers advice, empathy, and straightforward strategies from her own tool-kit—not only for others who see the world differently, but for their families, partners and colleagues. In What to Say Next, Sarah breaks down everyday situations—the chat in the break room, the last-minute meeting, the unexpected run-in—in granular detail, explaining not only how to understand the goals of others, but also how to frame your own. Larry adds his thoughts from a neurotypical perspective, sharing what was going on in his brain and how he learned to listen and enlighten, while supporting and maintaining Sarah&’s voice. At a time when more and more people are being diagnosed with ASD—especially women and girls—this book tells important truths about what it takes to make it in a neurotypical world, and still be true to yourself.

Adult Development and Aging: Biopsychosocial Perspectives
by Susan Krauss Whitbourne Stacey B. WhitbourneThe process of successful aging involves being able to overcome the threats to physical and psychological well-being presented by the aging process. Successful aging also involves the ability to become engaged with life in terms of both relationships and productive activity; successful cognitive aging refers to individuals who perform above average compared to their age group. Subjective well-being, a component of successful aging, is higher in older adults, a phenomenon referred to as the paradox of well-being. The WHO's movement to foster global age-friendly environments will make it possible for more individuals to feel connected to their communities and be able to fulfill their personal goals, regardless of age. The seventh edition of Adult Development and Aging: Biopsychosocial Perspectives incorporates material that we believe is vital to our understanding of this rapidly developing and fascinating field of study.

Regresar a lo Esencial
by Farhad Pour-GolafshanDescripción del libro: El mundo, tal como lo conocíamos, se detuvo de la noche a la mañana, por el miedo a que un virus mortal se propague rápidamente y provoque una pandemia. Las personas fueron obligadas a permanecer encerradas en sus hogares durante un número imprevisto de semanas. Se cerraron negocios. Las consecuencias económicas aún no se sintieron del todo, pero sus perspectivas eran más mortales que las del virus. Todos comenzaron a aprender y a prestar atención a la higiene física. Esta reclusión forzada hizo que muchos volvieran a pensar sus vidas y lo que consideraban normal, y todo lo que habían dado por sentado. Para muchos, el significado de sus vidas fue cuestionado, y el enfoque comenzó a cambiar a cómo podríamos prepararnos para un evento como este o peor. Para muchos se hizo evidente que la debilidad crucial había sido la desnutrición espiritual y la negligencia; ¿Qué pasa con la higiene espiritual? Este trabajo se enfoca en cómo revivirnos espiritualmente para darnos cuenta y cumplir el verdadero significado de nuestras vidas.

Happy Is the One Who Is Nothing: Letters to a Young Friend
by Jiddu KrishnamurtiOne of the great teachers of the twentieth century shows a more intimate side in this collection of letters, written to a young person who was suffering in both body and mind."Life is a razor's edge and one has to walk on that path with exquisite care and with pliable wisdom" - J KrishnamurtiBetween 1948 and the early 1960s, Krishnamurti was easily accessible and many people came to him. On walks, in personal meetings, through letters, the relationships blossomed. He wrote the following letters to a young friend who came to him wounded in body and mind. The letters, written between June 1948 and March 1960, reveal a rare compassion and clarity: the teaching and healing unfold; separation and distance disappear; the words flow; not a word is superfluous; the healing and teaching are simultaneous.
Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World
by Kathleen M. Eisenhardt Donald SullHOW SIMPLICITY TRUMPS COMPLEXITY IN NATURE, BUSINESS, AND LIFE Complexity surrounds us. We have too much email, juggle multiple remotes, and hack through thickets of regulations from phone contracts to health plans. But complexity isn't destiny. Sull and Eisenhardt argue there's a better way. By developing a few simple yet effective rules, people can best even the most complex problems. In Simple Rules, Sull and Eisenhardt masterfully challenge how we think about complexity and offer a new lens on how to cope. They take us on a surprising tour of what simple rules are, where they come from, and why they work. The authors illustrate the six kinds o f rules that really matter - for helping artists find creativity and the Federal Reserve set interest rates, for keeping birds on track and Zipcar members organized, and for how insomniacs can sleep and mountain climbers stay safe. Drawing on rigorous research and riveting stories, the authors ingeniously find insights in unexpected places, from the way Tina Fey codified her experience at Saturday Night Live into rules for producing 30 Rock (rule five: never tell a crazy person he's crazy) to burglars' rules for robbery ("avoid houses with a car parked outside") to Japanese engineers mimicking the rules of slime molds to optimize Tokyo's rail system. The authors offer fresh information and practical tips on fixing old rules and learning new ones. Whether you're struggling with information overload, pursuing opportunities with limited resources, or just trying to change your bad habits, Simple Rules provides powerful insight into how and why simplicity tames complexity.

Traveling Solo, but Never Alone: Surviving and Thriving After the Death of a Spouse
by Bill HarrisonWhen my wife passed away four days before Christmas in 2017 I was devastated. Mary and I had a challenging, exciting and adventurous life together for over 53 years, traveling the globe and finding success in a number of careers. But suddenly she was gone. I had lost my identity and purpose. I cried out: “What now, Lord?” “Why am I still here?” “What do you have in store for me now?” And over the ensuing months God began to show me that, although my role had drastically changed, my identity as his child remained the same and that he still had a purpose in my being here, which he began to reveal to me. And he reassured me, though I was now traveling solo, I would never be alone. This book is the story of my journey since Mary’s passing and what I have learned from my experiences. I hope it will be a source of inspiration for those who have experienced great loss, encouraging them with the knowledge that God is not finished with them, but has much more for them to learn, experience and accomplish.

The Sacred Search: What if It's Not about Who You Marry, but Why?
by Gary ThomasIn the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on. Readers are encouraged to think beyond finding their &“soul mate,&” an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a &“sole mate&”— someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey. Thomas asks, What if we focused on why to get married more than on who to marry? What if being &“in love&” isn&’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?

Un elefante en el living: Historias sobre lo que sentimos y no nos animamos a hablar
by Juan TonelliJuan Tonelli reúne, con talento y mirada sensible, historias extraordinarias de gente común para retratar y explorar distintos aspectos y tensiones de nuestra vida cotidiana, recorriendo temas como el matrimonio, la soledad, el sexo, la autocensura, el amor y el poder. ¿Quién se anima a mirar a los ojos a sus propias vulnerabilidades? Conocer los problemas de otros, sus contradicciones y dualidades, a veces resulta la forma más adecuada para abordar con compasión y fortaleza a nuestros propios fantasmas. Con talento y mirada sensible, Juan Tonelli reúne historias extraordinarias de gente común para retratar y explorar distintos aspectos y tensiones de nuestra vida cotidiana, recorriendo temas como el miedo, las contradicciones, el dolor, los traumas y carencias que nos condicionan, y todo eso que sentimos y no podemos expresar. La mayoría de estas historias están escritas en primera persona, tal como fueron relatadas por sus protagonistas: seres lastimados, fantasiosos, aterrorizados, a veces delirantes, que nos permiten reflejarnos como en un espejo y mirar eso que nos ocupa tanto espacio pero no nos animamos a enfrentar. «Comprendí que el tema no eran las dificultades en sí ?que todos tenemos y son similares?, sino ser incapaces de abordarlas porque duelen».Juan Tonelli «Un elefante en el living nos garantiza instantes de encuentro con nosotros mismos. Por eso vale la pena».Laura Gutman
