Fuck Happiness: How Women Are Ditching the Cult of Positivity and Choosing Radical Joy
by Ariel GoreHappiness is big business. Books, consultants, psychologists, organizations, and even governments tout happiness secrets that are backed by scientific findings. The problem is that all of this science is done by and for cis white men. And some of the most vocal of these happiness experts were announcing that women could become happier by espousing "traditional" values and eschewing feminism. Skeptical of this hypothesis, Ariel Gore took a deep dive into the optimism industrial complex, reading the history, combing the research, attending the conferences, interviewing the thought leaders, and exploring her own and her friends' personal experiences and desires. Fuck Happiness is a nuanced, thoughtful examination of what happiness means and to whom, how it's played a role in defining modern gender roles and power structures, and how we can all have a more empowered relationship with the pursuit of joy in our lives.
Fuck It: Be at Peace with Life, Just as It Is
by John ParkinThe top reason for being unhappy and stressed in life is 'being over here, but wanting to be over there'. The gap between how life really is and how we'd like it to be, hurts. This gap is, in fact, the primary cause of pain and misery for most people. In this light-hearted, funny, yet deeply wise book, bestselling self-help author John Parkin looks at how we can close this gap: not through improving ourselves or making changes in our lives, but through saying 'F**k it' and making peace with life, just as it is.Written with relatable wit and humour, this book is full of wisdom that will give you a refreshing new perspective on life. John will guide you through all the common pitfalls of the modern search for happiness and will show you that going with the flow of things, exactly how they are, is the most effective pain reliever there is. By the end of the book, you'll see that being at peace with life is not necessarily to be peaceful, it's certainly not to be passive; it is to embrace life as it is, in all its colours.

by Jairo P. FernándezWould you like to be happy? Is there a chance of happiness? What is unhappiness and why does it appear in our lives? Everyone, at some point in our lives, has felt that existential emptiness. Maybe it was when we got home after a job that overturned us, as soon as we got out of a long relationship or just on a Sunday afternoon.

And that feeling can take many forms: • Misery • Suffering • Pain • Discouragement • Sadness • Melancholy • Depression Why am I so unlucky, why am I so distressed, so sad, what causes me to believe all this myself? Is it possible to find true happiness, or is it a momentary thing? In this book, you will find the keys to understand why these negative sensations occur in your life and how to overcome them. The route to our interior drawn by the author is simply wonderful, with encouraging phrases, with positive messages, with active meditations, with life lessons. With this book, you will learn: Different strategies to overcome sadness. How to cope with depression so gradually you develop more self-confidence. How to develop healthy habits to achieve happiness, increasing your energy levels and self-confidence. This book guides you towards the encounter with your true nature, because when you reach the center of yourself you will put in balance body, mind and soul, and it will not be something artificial, a training or something imposed, you will simply be yourself, you will be authentic, natural, lasting. A magnificent proposal to look inside that we often have abandoned and, as we are told in the book, to find our WAY TO HAPPINESS.

Fuegos enciende, polvos levanta: Magia popular para la bruja tradicional
by Solitude of AlannaUna guía práctica de magia popular para la bruja tradicional La hechicería popular es el conjunto de prácticas mágicas comunes de un pueblo. Prácticas que, desde tiempos lejanos, han conectado a nuestros antepasados con la naturaleza de su entorno, con sus ancestros y con las fuerzas que movían su mundo. Los tiempos cambian, pero hay cosas que siempre permanecerán inmutables, puesto que son parte de la propia naturaleza humana, de la existencia y de la Otredad. Aunque sea llevada a cabo por nuevas manos, la hechicería popular conforma nuestra identidad cultural, nuestra historia y nuestro patrimonio espiritual, religioso y mágico. Retomar sus prácticas nos devuelve esa conexión con nuestros antepasados y nuestro territorio. Además, la magia popular nos hace ver que no es necesario nada exclusivo, caro o alejado de nuestra cotidianidad para una práctica profundamente significativa. Una que entienda el pasado y aprenda de él para dar sentido al presente. Una manera consciente de utilizar la sabiduría, las herramientas y los recursos de lo tradicional para nuestra práctica personal, adaptada a nuestros tiempos y necesidades propias. Sin embargo, has de saber que esta no es una obra para aquellos que temen indagar en las sombras o transgredir el tabú. La hechicería popular no es inocente ni aséptica; es sucia y astuta, venenosa, insolente y oportunista. Es sangre, hueso y tierra, sexo, espinas clavadas y palabras susurradas en la noche más profunda. Solo abrazando la naturaleza liminal de la hechicería popular podremos desentrañar sus más oscuros maleficios, pero también llegar a abrazar su más sublime luz. Un nuevo libro de Natalia Saldaña, Solitude of Alanna en redes, referente en espiritualidad, brujería y territorio que ya ha conquistado a miles de lectores con En mi bosque interior y Hacia lo salvaje.

Fuera de serie: Por qué unas personas tienen éxito y otras no
by Malcolm GladwellDel máximo gurú de los negocios, autor de La clave del éxito. The tipping point e Inteligencia intuitiva. ¿Qué diferencia a quienes hacen algo especial en la vida de quienes no lo hacen? Fuera de serie explora las curiosas historias de los grandes jugadores de fútbol; bucea en la peculiar infancia de Bill Gates; busca qué convirtió a los Beatles en el mejor grupo de rock; y se pregunta qué distingue a los pilotos que estrellan aviones de los que no. A través de su viaje por el mundo de los «fuera de serie», los mejores, los más brillantes y famosos, nos convence de que nuestro modo de pensar en el éxito es erróneo. Prestamos demasiada atención al aspecto de estas personas, y muy poca al lugar de donde vienen, es decir, a su cultura, su familia, su generación y a las singularidades de su educación. Brillante y entretenido, Fuera de serie es toda una referencia que al mismo tiempo iluminará y hará disfrutar. Reseñas:«Leer Fuera de serie es un verdadero placer, y Gladwell nos deja dándoles vueltas a sus ingeniosas teorías durante días.»David Leonhardt, The New York Times «Fuera de serie es un libro convincente y entusiasta. Su secreto es que no trata sólo de los fuera de serie, sino de la gente en general.»Robert Colvile, Telegraph «Las teorías de Malcolm Gladwell, que ya gozan de una impresionante popularidad, han convertido su apellido en un adjetivo: ¡Gladwelliano! En Fuera de serie, matiza nuestro culto al éxito.»Jason Zengerle, New York Magazine «Una vez más, Gladwell demuestra dominar un género del que, de hecho, es pionero: el de los libros que esclarecen las causas ocultas tras los fenómenos del día a día.»Publishers Weekly «Malcolm Gladwell, escritor de éxito masivo, se ha convertido en uno de los grandes especialistas de nuestro tiempo en iluminar las zonas de sombra con su mezcla de periodismo, estudios científicos, historia y filosofía. Amante de llevar la contraria [...] Su objetivo es colocar junto a la certeza un signo de interrogación. [...] Gladwell define su trabajo como "no ficción pop". [...] Es un cheerleader de las ciencias sociales. [...] A la vista de los millones de lectores que han devorado sus libros, cabría decir que hay algo tranquilizador en ver ideas confirmadas por los estudios citados. También es curioso y seductor.»El País Semanal «Un mago en los libros de autoayuda. [...] Con más de 10 millones de ejemplares vendidos, Malcolm Gladwell es uno de los principales escritores "motivacionales", gurú del éxito y analista de "estrategias para triunfar". La clave del éxito, Inteligencia intuitiva, Lo que vio el perro y Fuera de serie son libros que ejecutivos y líderes de todo tipo devoran en los aeropuertos.»La Gaceta de los negocios

Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life
by Eben Alexander Anna YusimAre you living the life you thought you always wanted but feel that something is still missing? Do you think you should be happier than you are, considering all that you have? Have you achieved your professional or personal goals but still feel racked with insecurities, anxiety, or depression . . . and can't figure out why? Psychiatrist Anna Yusim knows just how you feel. Not only has she struggled with these feelings herself, but she has also worked with patients upon patients who have expressed the same bewildering concern: they have everything they've always wanted, and yet deep down they don't feel fulfilled. Determined to help herself and her patients, Dr. Yusim spent more than fifteen years studying and conducting research and came to a startling conclusion: this lingering feeling of dissatisfaction coincides with spiritual neglect. Once she helped her patients address their spiritual and psychological needs, she saw radical improvements in their happiness levels and quality of life.Now science is catching up with her innovative approach to therapy as groundbreaking medical research and studies substantiate what Dr. Yusim and many others have suspected for years: spirituality is a powerful path to healing. Drawing from the best in Western medicine, as well as teachings from Kabbalah, Buddhism, and shamanistic traditions, Dr. Yusim has developed a program that marries empirical science and spirituality to help you:Discover your life's true purposeEliminate self-defeating patterns and roadblocks that are keeping you from living your most authentic lifeUnderstand the scientific underpinnings behind "answered prayers" and "random coincidences"-and why having faith in them can change your outlook for the betterAppreciate how consciousness shapes your reality and how to harness this understanding to live a life of abundance.Filled with exercises, guided meditations, fascinating scientific research, and inspiring success stories, FULFILLED integrates the best of Western medicine with universal spiritual principles to help you find more meaning, more joy, and more fulfillment in your life.

Full Court Faith: How We Can Be Used by God for His Good and Perfect Purpose
by George ShinnIn Full Court Faith, George Shinn's remarkable journey from small-town obscurity to NBA franchise owner shows how trusting God's plan can lead to incredible success, redemption, and miraculous life transformations."&“God has done many wonderful things in my life—but the biggest things aren&’t the accomplishments I used to take the most pride in.&” —George Shinn What can God do with a poor country boy from a small town in North Carolina? The child no one expected much from. The kid who finished high school dead last in his graduating class. One of only two students in the whole school on government assistance. The young man who had to clean business school toilets in exchange for tuition. The aspiring pro-sports franchise owner no one in New York or California took seriously. The victim of an extortion scandal that rocked the sports and business communities of Charlotte, North Carolina. The sinner whose private mistakes became front-page news for more than a year. What can God do with a person like that? Amazing things . . . things that lead to unbelievable fame and fortune. Wonderful things . . . things that brought new life and vigor to a southern gem no one outside the south had ever heard of. Miraculous things . . . things that have saved the lives of numerous stroke victims—including his own. Full Court Faith presents the uniquely inspiring life of Charlotte entrepreneur, businessman, and former NBA franchisee George Shinn, the man who brought professional sports to North Carolina. With charm, wit, humility, and his trademark enthusiasm, Shinn tells his story his way—taking responsibility for the mistakes and giving God all the credit for the victories.

Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit: Nourishing The Soul When Life's Just Too Much
by Karen Horneffer-GinterWe live in a world of constant movement, and our day-to-day lives seem to get busier by the hour. Our days are full of information, full of obligations, full of friends and family, full of everything . . . except fulfillment. And rushing has become a national epidemic. Even when we’re rushing to and from the good stuff – like a rewarding job with wonderful colleagues, or quality time spent with loved ones – we can still end up feeling drained and exhausted, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of life. In *Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit, psychologist Karen Horneffer-Ginter helps you understand that it is this volume, this busyness, that creates a disconnect between your outer life and your inner self. This separation can cause your soul to wilt, preventing you from experiencing joy and hearing your own wisdom about what needs priority in your life. With an elegant narrative voice that inspires both laughter and compassion, Horneffer-Ginter shows you how to live a fuller life rather than simply filling your time. She focuses on six shifts to make in your daily life—teaching you to honor your rhythms, turn within, fill up, fully inhabit your days, remember lightness, and embrace difficulty. Through a weave of personal stories, client experiences, and practical exercises, she shows you how to find balance in the swirl of daily life, so you can reconnect with what matters most.*
Full Ecology: Repairing Our Relationship with the Natural World
by Gary Ferguson Mary M. ClareHow to confront the climate crisis without losing heart It’s easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of global climate breakdown. So how might we develop the inner resolve to confront it? Full Ecology, a collaboration between social-cultural psychologist Mary M. Clare and longtime science writer Gary Ferguson, suggests a path forward. Breaking the modern impulse to see humans as separate from nature, Clare and Ferguson encourage us to learn from the &“supremely methodical and highly improvisational&” natural systems that touch our lives. True change, they argue, begins with us stopping and questioning assumptions about our place in the world. From this process of reflection, they offer us an alternative blueprint for acting in ecologically healthy ways, and for inspiring others to do the same. Rather than proposing a ten-step plan to save the earth, this book encourages a more elemental rethinking of our connections to nature, and of how such connections might be strengthened for the common good. Practical and poetic, scientific and spiritual, Full Ecology presents a strong, nourishing foundation for climate action.
