21 Days to Resilience: How to Transcend the Daily Grind, Deal with the Tough Stuff, and Discover Your Strongest Self
by Zelana MontminyHappiness is not about wishful thinking, good luck, or avoiding negative thoughts. In fact, the only path to true happiness requires seeing challenges as opportunities and discovering emotional strength during times of struggle. In other words, it's about resilience. Resilience is a quality most of us want to possess. The big issue is that no one knows how to access it in their day-to-day life. We understand that it's important, that it's crucial even, but it seems like an ephemeral thing that you either have or you don't. How we actually attain the skills to become resilient has been left out of the conversation. Until now.In 21 Days to Resilience, Dr. Zelana Montminy, a leading expert in positive psychology, offers a practical, science-backed toolkit to develop your capacity to handle whatever life throws your way—and thrive. Each day of her powerful program, Dr. Montminy introduces a key trait necessary to improve resiliency and enhance wellbeing, such as gratitude, focus, playfulness, self-respect, and flexibility, then provides three simple tasks to accomplish that day—one in the morning, one during the day, and one in the evening. In addition, the book offers a "Take Stock" section that will help you gauge your current level of skill and each chapter ends with a "Lifelong" exercise that offers ways to build the skill as needed to keep your resiliency muscles strong.Dr. Montminy writes, "Being resilient does not mean that you won't encounter problems or have difficulties overcoming a challenge in your life. The difference is that resilient people don't let their adversity define them. At its core, resilience is about being capable and strong enough to persevere in adverse or stressful conditions—and to take away positive meaning from that experience. Living with resilience is more than just bouncing back; it is about shifting our perceptions, changing our responses, and growing from them." Combining proven science, unique exercises, and insights from real-life experience, 21 Days to Resilience lays the foundation for happiness and shows you how to build your strength to carry you through the rest of your life.

21 ESCRITURAS PODEROSAS PARA AYUDARLE A OBTENER LA CASA QUE QUIERE
by Boomy Tokan Carmen M Vargas VegaAlguien una vez dijo – “Aparte del matrimonio, la compra de una casa es la decisión más importante que el hombre hace en la tierra.” Estemos o no de acuerdo con la afirmación anterior, quien haya estado involucrado en la compra de una casa, ya sea por medio de una hipoteca o por efectivo puede dar testimonio de cuanto compromiso emocional y financiero eso conlleva. Es una pena que mucha gente deje a DIOS fuera de la ecuación al comprar una casa a pesar de que EL es el creador del universo y cada para de él le pertenecen a EL. Aún más, EL está consiente de sus circunstancias y sabe exactamente donde cada persona debe vivir. Hechos 17v26 De una misma sangre hizo toda la raza humana, para establecerla sobre toda la faz de la tierra, y determino el tiempo y los límites del lugar donde cada pueblo había de habitar; Si eso es así, entonces DIOS sabe exactamente donde la casa que desea está localizada y puede cerrar tratos por Usted para asegurarse que usted consiga la vivienda. Lo cual puede suceder si Usted LO involucra en la planeación de la búsqueda de casa. ¡Esta es la razón por la cual he compilado algunos de las 21 mejores Escrituras en la Biblia para ayudarle a encontrar la casa que quiere, así como también mantenerlo enfocado en JESUS durante el proceso! Como utilizar este libro Este libro es compacto, fácil de leer y diseñado para ayudarle a iniciar su campaña de oración rápidamente. Las 21 Escrituras han sido colocadas bajo ciertos encabezados para fácil referencia. Yo sugiero leer todo el libro una vez y luego escoger las Escrituras que utilizara para ir a la guerra de acuerdo con Efesios 6. ¡Disfrute de su nueva vivienda en el NOMBRE DE JESUS! B. Tokan

21 Immortals: Inspector Mislan and the Yee Sang Murders (Inspector Mislan #1)
by Rozlan Mohd Noor21 Immortals introduces an exciting new voice in international noir—for readers of Jo Nesbø, Keigo Higashino, and John Burdett. Inspector Mislan Latif's final case after a long night's shift could be his last. Called to a wealthy neighborhood of Kuala Lumpur, he finds a crime scene unlike any he has encountered before: pristine, the victims a family seated at dinner, Mona Lisa smiles fixed to their faces, frozen mid-gesture around the traditional Chinese New Year dish of yee sang, signifying prosperity, longevity, many good things—though it's not that time of year. It makes an eerie, chilling tableau of death, but signifying what? The celebrity of the father, fashion magnate Robert Tham, has already drawn a media throng, and soon the upper echelons of the police have taken an interest, bringing pressure to solve the crime quickly. But every clue points to another unknown. This isn't the primary scene: where is it? What are the motives of Tham's younger business partner, the attractive Miss Irene? What of his connections to an old-school criminal gang and the triads? With rival units of the police seeking to co-opt and, he suspects, bury the case, Inspector Mislan's investigation takes him to every level of this modern, multi-ethnic, American-pop-culture-influenced society, to where moneyed power and influence demand their say. Maverick, hard-boiled yet tender, a single father raising a young child, Mislan must rely on his team—and the politically savvy woman leading Major Crimes who is his boss—to support, protect him from the corruption above, and help find a way to ensure the course of justice.

21 Life Changing Rituals: Daily Practices to Bring Greater Inner Peace and Happiness
by Theresa CheungAristotle said 'you are what you repeatedly do'. Most of us have no idea that what we repeatedly do creates our lives, we think our future is shaped by big events, the decisions we make, the thoughts we have but, this book will show you that it is your daily actions that are the key. Over the last few decades neuroscientists and psychologists have discovered that there is more power in 'I do' than 'I think'. However, if an action is repeated enough times it becomes habit but habits lack thought, consideration and presence. To effect long-lasting meaningful change our actions need to be filled with a sense of personal meaning and power – they need to be ritualized. Creating personal ritual in our lives allows us to bring the presence of the sacred into the everyday. The rituals in this book have been designed as symbolic acts providing a framework for anyone to use to create positive change in their lives. The 7 morning rituals are designed to help you 'wake with determination', the 7 afternoon rituals focus on 'living on purpose', and the 7 evening rituals are about 'retiring with satisfaction'.
