by Eleanor ThomHow to live happily and well with endometriosis, from someone who has tried everything and lived to tell (and laugh at) the tale.What the internet can tell you about endometriosis: Endometriosis is a chronic and incurable condition that affects 1 in 10 women with approximately 1.6 million sufferers in the UK alone, but only 20% of the general public have heard of it. It takes an average of seven and a half years to get a diagnosis in the UK and affects sufferers' capacity to work, their fertility and their ability to enjoy sex. What Eleanor Thom can tell you about endometriosis: You are so much more than the sum of your private parts. Part memoir, part guide book and part survival guide, Private Parts retraces Eleanor's own journey with endometriosis, offering readers practical, down-to-earth and friendly advice covering everything from what actually happens in an internal exam, to finding the right specialist for you, the perfect post-op wardrobe and to why you should look to Frida Kahlo for inspiration in your darkest moments. Written for those looking to live well with their endometriosis and for those who are looking for help to understand the disease and how it affects those with it, Private Parts is a call to action for people to speak up about an illness which is still so misunderstood.(P)2019 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
Prizeworthy: How to Meaningfully Connect, Build Character, and Unlock the Potential of Every Child
by Mitch AbblettLearn how skillfully prizing kids (rather than mindlessly praising) can be a game changer in your relationship as a parent, teacher, or helper.Our culture is addicted to "good job!"--our all-purpose, feel-good, non-specific, or high-bar-setting verbal praise--especially when we talk to our kids. However, research shows that generic praise is insufficient and sometimes even backfires in nudging them toward their potential or helping kids navigate challenging moments. Praise can put too much emphasis on controlling results, and kids can experience it as pressure and learn to fear failing in adults&’ eyes. By contrast, prizing is a game-changing mindset and set of specific skills that can help kids convert moments of emotional pain or stuckness into opportunities and possibilities for healthy change and growth. Prizing brings kids and adults together into a shared space in the present moment where conflict can dissolve, connection can thrive, and needed changes arise.In Prizeworthy, clinical psychologist Mitch Abblett introduces us to the skills of prizing and shows us what it looks like and how to do it in real-life situations. For example, techniques like "SNAPPing Out of Delusions of Outcome Control with Your Children" or "Light-Touch Goal-Setting with Your Kids" add an important layer of validation, compassionate presence, and skillful action to your relationships. Abblett also shares stories of how prizing has made a real difference in the lives of young people, parents, and professionals. He offers a host of scientifically-sound mindfulness and positive psychology-based practices for cultivating prizing at home, and in educational and therapeutic settings.

Problem Solver: Maximizing Your Strengths to Make Better Decisions (AREA Method Publications)
by Cheryl Strauss EinhornOur decisions are expressions of who we are and how we move through the world. Rarely, though, do we examine our decisions or even look inward to consider the psychology of our decision-making. Instead, we often make decisions based on what we call instinct (which relies on cognitive bias), false assumptions, mis-remembering, and mental mistakes. Truthfully, we don't see the world as it is; we see it as we are. We can develop self-knowledge about our decision-making styles. We can wake ourselves up to how biases cloud our judgment and impede good decision-making—and we can counter bias. From there, we can transform our decision-making habits to make better big decisions alone and together. Problem Solver provides you with tools to identify:• The five basic decision-making approaches, or "Problem Solver Profiles" (PSPs): Adventurer, Detective, Listener, Thinker, and Visionary • Your dominant—and secondary—PSPs• Tools to assess other peoples' PSPs• Each PSP's decision-making strengths, blind spots, and biases• How your PSP impacts your outlook on life and your risk appetite• How to use your PSP to maximize your decision strengths Replete with real-life examples and replicable strategies to apply new decision-making skills for your immediate benefit, Problem Solver will do more than help you look out into a future; it will equip you to move forward, with confidence, into your future.

If our treatment toward loved ones of addicts alienates them, it's time we change our approach.With Prodependence, Dr. Robert Weiss offers us the first fully new paradigm in over 35 years for helping those who love and care for addicts. An attachment-focused model, prodependence recognizes that no one can ever love too much, nor should anyone be pathologized for whomever they choose to love as is often the case. Prodependence informs caregivers how to love more effectively, but without having to bear a negative label for the valuable support they give. When treating loved ones of addicts and other troubled people using prodependence, we need not find something "wrong" with them. Instead, we acknowledge the trauma and inherent dysfunction that occurs when living in relationship with someone whose life is failing and keep moving forward. Validating a caregiver's painful journey for what it is opens the door to support them in useful, non-shaming ways. Helping people take incremental, positive steps toward intimate healing is what Prodependence is all about!

Productividad personal: Aprende a liberarte del estrés con GTD
by José Miguel BolivarUn sistema práctico de organización del trabajo que nos permite reducir el estrés, conseguir los resultados que deseamos, y que nos hace más eficaces en todos los aspectos de la vida. Productividad personal plantea como punto de partida el hecho de que la naturaleza del trabajo ha cambiado profundamente en la era de la información. Nuestras tareas ya no resultan evidentes y no sabemos bien cuándo están finalizadas; tampoco son estables ni predecibles, y lo que es más importante, no son proporcionales al tiempo que disponemos para hacerlas. Todo es nuevo más a menudo. Estos cambios han generado una situación de estrés creciente y general entre todos nosotros. Con demasiada frecuencia tenemos el sentimiento de que algo no va bien y que nos causará problemas, pero no sabemos ni de qué se trata, ni cuándo puede estallar y menos aún qué consecuencias puede tener. La metología GTD (creada por David Allen) parte del principio de que una parte importante de este estrés procede de los «compromisos mal gestionados». José Miguel Bolívar propone el uso de este método muy práctico para evitar que nuestra gestión dependa de la memoria, que es muy poco fiable, y nos introduce de forma muy sencilla y asequible en la fórmula GTD para la productividad personal, basada en herramientas para mantener el control de nuestras tareas y la perspectiva necesaria para tener claras las consecuencias a corto, medio y largo plazo de las decisiones que tomas.
