by Holly TranthamA beautiful, full-color guide to living with money, not for money, packed with fun, tangible advice from the women behind The Financial Diet. &“Beyond Getting By will make you feel better, not worse, about your money and your life.&”—Tiffany &“the Budgetnista&” Aliche, New York Times bestselling author of Get Good with MoneyThe girlboss came in many forms, and she struggled valiantly against our increasing exhaustion at her brand of pinkwashed-capitalism-as-liberation—but it&’s time to put her to rest. Yes, money is essential to life, and managing it well can be the difference between freedom and constraint. But once you have enough, the focus should be on converting it into things that are meaningful to you: more time with the people you love, more creativity, more days to just vibe on the couch.In Beyond Getting By, the women behind The Financial Diet teach you how to create (and pay for) a life you truly enjoy—and that you can be proud of. They show you how to push beyond what society tells you will make you happy to determine what you actually want, with specific advice and interactive exercises on • how to define your own budget philosophy by no longer chasing fast fashion and instant gratification, instead allowing the unlikely duo of Sigmund Freud and Elizabeth Warren to guide your budgeting• how the idea that we have equal opportunity is bullshit—and how to start a self-advocacy journal in order to kill it in that next raise negotiation• how to stave off burnout by valuing your personal life with as much care as your career, in addition to figuring out the true worth of your time Beyond Getting By is for the woman interested in a life where money is simply a tool and never a reflection of her worth. It&’s for the woman who understands the limits of gamifying personal finance, and that following trends isn&’t the same as creating a sustainable, wealth-generating plan for the future.

Beyond Happiness: How to find lasting meaning and joy in all that you have
by Anthony SeldonAs Britain's best-known headmaster, Sir Anthony famously introduced happiness, or well-being, lessons at his school, Wellington College.

Beyond Measure: The Big Impact of Small Changes (TED)
by Margaret HeffernanA powerful manifesto for CEOs and employees alike: Influential and award-winning business leader Margaret Heffernan reveals how organizations can build ideal workplace cultures and create seismic shifts by making deceptively small changes.By implementing sweeping changes, businesses often think it’s possible to do better, to earn more, and have happier employees. So why does engagement prove so difficult and productivity so elusive?In Beyond Measure, Margaret Heffernan looks back over her decades spent overseeing different organizations and comes to a counterintuitive conclusion: it’s the small shifts that have the greatest impact. Heffernan argues that building the strongest organization can be accelerated by implementing seemingly small changes, such as embracing conflict as a creative catalyst; using every mind on the team; celebrating mistakes; speaking up and listening more; and encouraging time off from work.Packed with incredible anecdotes and startling statistics, Beyond Measure takes us on a fascinating tour across the globe, highlighting disparate businesses and revealing how they’ve managed to change themselves in big ways through incremental shifts. How did the CIA revolutionize their intelligence gathering with one simple question? How did one organization increase their revenue by $15 million by instituting a short coffee break? How can a day-long hackathon change the culture of a company? Told with wry wit and knowing humor, Heffernan proves that it’s often the small changes that make the greatest, most lasting impact.

Beyond Motherhood: Choosing a Life Without Children
by Jeanne SaferThe candid and inspiring stories in BEYOND MOTHERHOOD provide validation for women who have chosen to forgo motherhood as well as guidance for those who are making decisions about it. WOULD MOTHERHOOD SUIT YOU? If you are currently trying to decide whether or not to have a baby, don't postpone asking yourself this question. Really think about it, starting now. It's important to know as much as possible about your feelings, your conflicts, your fantasies, and your needs. Talk to your mate, talk to your friends, but most importantly, talk to yourself-and listen carefully, with an open mind, to what you have to say. How do you really feel about children? If you feel uncomfortable, is your reaction based mostly on inexperience-or are there other reasons? Do you think that some problem in your life-such as an unhappy marriage, depression, or poor selfesteem-will be solved by having a child? Remember that the only thing having a baby can solve is the longing for a baby. Think about your own childhood. What was good that you would want to repeat, and what was bad that you want to repair? Are you ready to confront your past in order to be a good parent? Is someone trying to talk you into pregnancy even though your heart is really not in it? Do you find yourself repeatedly making excuses not to have a baby, such as "we can't afford it right now"? Maybe you are trying to tell yourself something. As Jeanne Safer writes, "No carefully considered decision, responsive to your real feelings, born of honest self-examination, will be the wrong one."
