Under Construction: Navigating the Detours on the Road to Recovery
by Dug McGuirkThis so called "life" is a journey and it doesn't matter who you are—you are special and unique with something to offer and enjoy, period. The obstacles and detours the roads present are not any easier in one car or another; it just boils down to how you navigate your way through and around them. One of McGuirk's key principles centers on the concept of State, i.e. your state of mind, how you feel. State is the emotional fuel you want to fill up on--the things or experiences that make you feel good. Most people have been fueling up the wrong way their entire life and their state is not what it ought to be. They fill up on poor quality emotions then spend their lives trying to escape important things because they can't find a way to derive pleasure from them. One of the worst things people fill up on is alcohol and drugs—sure it helps temporarily, but it doesn't take long before they're coughing and sputtering on the exit ramp and nothing works for them any more—they're feeling guilty, unfulfilled, empty. Fueling up the right way is what successful people do—they fill up with it first thing in the morning, every day of their lives. They create their own happiness because they know that by feeling great, it will be easier to attain the abundance and success they really want. For the millions of people fueled on desperation, broken down and in need of repair, Under Construction is a shop. It is the place to learn how to give yourself a tune-up. McGuirk provides all the tools you need to keep from struggling on the road, but ultimately, it's your shop—you are the mechanic. If you're ready and willing to turn your world around and start really enjoying your life journey, Under Construction is the perfect guide. Quit pushing your rusting old car around and start taking laps in the winner's circle—with McGuirk navigating, you CAN do it!

The Undeniable Favor of God: Achieving My Present by Walking in the Light of God's Love
by Elizabeth Jean BruceFeeling fulfilled and finding purpose significantly contributes to quality of life. Why are we here? How did we get here? What is it all for? Many people have specific yearnings or “callings” or a desire to achieve distinctive goals in life. In many cases these desires are God-given to fulfill the human part in the wholeness of creation. Once purpose is discovered and the major long term goal is established, it is important to recognize the requirements for achieving the long term goal. Once requirements are learned, people can map out their journey toward the main goal with short term goals. These are plan steps that help highlight when milestones are achieved during the journey. There will likely be difficult times during the journey, so it is very important not to take for granted people around who are life-giving and strengthening for other’s emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Everyone must also utilize their faith in God, who keeps everyone fortified to endure disheartening times. Dr. Bruce shares pleasant surprise experiences that made her journey more fulfilling than she expected, on her road to one of her major life goals. She believes as life unfolds, beautiful things happen. People must not let themselves become distracted by the unpleasant occurrences in life that try to steal their joy away. They must absorb and keep their focus on the beauty, truth and light of life. This is what empowers them to eradicate darkness!
The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self
by Dr. Alex LickermanLegions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop. To build strength out of adversity, we need a catalyst. What we need, according to Dr. Alex Lickerman, is wisdom—wisdom that adversity has the potential to teach us. Lickerman's underlying premise is that our ability to control what happens to us in life may be limited, but we have the ability to establish a life-state to surmount the suffering life brings us. The Undefeated Mind distills the wisdom we need to create true resilience into nine core principles, including: A new definition of victory and its relevance to happiness The concept of the changing of poison into medicine A way to view prayer as a vow we make to ourselves. A method of setting expectations that enhances our ability to endure disappointment and minimizes the likelihood of quitting An approach to taking personal responsibility and moral action that enhances resilience A process for managing pain—both physical and emotional—that enables us to push through obstacles that might otherwise prevent us from attaining our goals A method of leveraging our relationships with others that helps us manifest our strongest selves Through stories of patients who have used these principles to overcome suffering caused by unemployment, unwanted weight gain, addiction, rejection, chronic pain, retirement, illness, loss, and even death, Dr. Lickerman shows how we too can make these principles function within our own lives, enabling us to develop for ourselves the resilience we need to achieve indestructible happiness. At its core, The Undefeated Mind urges us to stop hoping for easy lives and focus instead on cultivating the inner strength we need to enjoy the difficult lives we all have.
Undecided: How to Ditch the Endless Quest for Perfect and Find the Career -- and Life --That's Right for You
by Shannon Kelley Barbara KelleyIn a world of unprecedented opportunity-and pressure-women are struggling more than ever to make career decisions and move forward without second-guessing themselves. Young women graduate from college and believe they have to find the perfect path and then can't decide which way to go. Undecided is an invaluable guide to this cultural phenomenon of "analysis paralysis." Looking at both what the media and academic studies have reported on women, careers, and particularly the undecided phenomenon-as well as personal accounts from numerous women-mother and daughter Barbara and Shannon Kelley discuss how we got to this frustrating place, why it affects women in particular, and how today's culture fuels our fears and distractions. The Kelleys cast a critical eye upon the psychology behind the pressure to choose, and they argue that if women are going to succeed in rising above the often-crippling demands of the modern world they need to take action . . . starting with a serious shift in perspective.

Uncovering Happiness
by Elisha GoldsteinThe Power of Now meets Change Your Brain, Change Your Life in Dr. Goldstein's new book. In seven simple steps, Uncovering Happiness uses cutting-edge mindfulness and self-compassion techniques along with innovations in neuroscience to release natural antidepressants in the brain. Dr. Goldstein shows you how to take back control of your mind, your mood and your life. Most of us believe when we're depressed that our situation is hopeless. That's a mistake, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reassures us in Uncovering Happiness. The secret to overcoming depression and uncovering happiness is in harnessing our brain's own natural antidepressant power and ultimately creating a more resilient antidepressant brain. Uncovering Happiness is grounded in two key foundations: mindfulness and self-compassion, and backed by recent scientific discoveries. Goldstein explores our natural antidepressants - along with mindfulness and self-compassion, also purpose, play and confidence - and offers specific techniques for putting them into action. Together, these elements can transform something that typically forces us to spiral downward and turn it into an upward spiral of self-worth and resilience. At its core, Uncovering Happiness contains a persuasive argument for hope: Having had depression in the past doesn't mean you must also suffer from it in the future. You can build up the sections of the brain that protect you from depression, and slow down the sections that foster it. Doing this allows the brain's own natural antidepressants to emerge, grow stronger and contribute powerfully to the resilience we need to enjoy the good times, survive difficult times and open ourselves up to lives that truly feel worth living.

Unconventional Leadership: How Henry Ford Taught Me About Reinvention and Diversity
by Nancy M. SchlichtingWhat does it take to lead the successful turnaround of four consecutive organizations? What does it take to run a $4 billion business in Detroit as the city struggles to emerge from municipal bankruptcy and its worst ongoing crisis ever? What does it take to be a female CEO who has come up against discrimination and personal attack? It takes Unconventional Leadership, a style of leadership based on confronting reality and leading headlong through adversity. In this inspiring story, Nancy Schlichting, the CEO of Henry Ford Health System, reveals her unique strategies that drive success: maintaining a focus on people, creating a culture of innovation and reinvention, and embracing diversity as a key strategy for growth. The book describes a leadership paradigm that will motivate, inspire, and drive new thinking in today's disruptive business environment where traditional modes of managing are no longer working. In Unconventional Leadership, Schlichting weaves together three themes that explain how she has become one of the most powerful individuals in healthcare today: (1) deftly conquering the immense challenges within the healthcare industry itself--consolidation, new models of delivery and financing, increasing government regulation and oversight, changing customer expectations, and pressures on cost and quality (2) the exciting and panoramic backdrop of Henry Ford and Detroit--Ford's legacy of invention and innovation combined with ongoing attempts to restore and renew a city in deep decline; and (3) forging a career path and excelling as a female CEO in a world typically dominated by men. An abiding fan of the underdog, Schlichting reveals, above all else, the sheer grit and determination required to lead through adversity and create a successful legacy of leadership.
Unconditional Love: A Guide to Navigating the Joys and Challenges of Being a Grandparent Today
by Jane IsayA beautiful meditation on the joys of being a grandparent and a practical guide to help you and your adult children make the most of your relationship with a grandchild.For many grandparents, a grandchild offers a second chance to become the parent they didn’t have the time or the energy to be when raising their own children. Being a grandparent, family relationships expert Jane Isay argues, is the opportunity to turn missed opportunities into delight.Drawing on her personal experience, dozens of interviews, and the latest findings in psychology, Isay shows how a grandparent can use his or her unique perspective and experience to create a deep and lasting bond that will echo throughout a grandchild’s life. She explores the realities of today’s multigenerational families, identifying problems and offering solutions to enhance love, trust, and understanding between grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. She also offers a wealth of practical advice, from when to get involved, when to stay away, and how to foster a strong relationship when you’re separated by long distance.Unconditional Love advocates for honest conversation, thinking in the long run and healing breaches in order to be together, understanding that most of us try to do our best and need to be forgiven if we fail. Isay argues that secrets and surprises may tilt the boat but won’t necessarily sink it and that grandparents and their grown children are happier when they give each other the benefit of the doubt. Most importantly, she writes, the advent of grandchildren offers families the opportunity for healing and redemption—if we seize the moment. In lovely prose and through delightful stories, Isay shows us how we can.A great gift for grandparents-to-be and a wonderful resource for all, Unconditional Love is a beautiful and psychologically astute look at what it means to be an engaged grandparent.

Uncommon Wisdom: True Tales of What Our Lives as Doctors Have Taught Us About Love, Faith and Hea ling
by John Castaldo Lawrence LevittIn light of the escalating costs of healthcare in the U.S. and the on-going debate about appropriate health insurance reform, it's easy to forget about the human side of medicine and the importance of the doctor-patient relationship. In Uncommon Wisdom, neurologists John Castaldo and Lawrence Levitt share what they have learned in their many years as doctors, not just from tests and labs, but from years of listening and learning from their patients. These 16 tales show doctors as human beings: flawed and full of doubt, wonder, and reverence about what it means to be alive. The stories remind us that the medical profession should be about treating people with the dignity they deserve and that medical miracles don't always involve medicine. These doctors find cures, solve mysteries, and glean many lessons from listening deeply to their patients.
