Par Kate Humble. 2022
Kate Humble has a knack for sharing her own journey towards a more pleasing and purposeful life in a way…
that inspires readers, enables them to reassess their own lives and helps them achieve their personal goals. Having encouraged readers to reconnect with nature in Thinking on My Feet and simplify their lifestyles in A Year of Living Simply, she turns now to reimagining whatever we consider 'home' - examining her own experiences and expectations, ideals and memories, and considering the views of others living uniquely, extraordinarily, happily. She's gaining insights from some unexpected quarters - including the animal kingdom.As our time spent in office buildings and other traditional workplaces shrinks forevermore, feeling happy, healthy, productive and content in our homes (be they castles or caravans, flat-shares or farms, fixed or temporary, inner city/out of town/beyond) is more important to get right than ever before. Where the Hearth Is will resonate with all those seeking to make the most of their lives during the many hours we all spend at home - whether it's a case of tiny adjustments while staying put, moving out, living differently or dreaming of building something new.You Are Enough: Embrace Your Flaws and Be Happy Being You

Par Kate Humble. 2020
'Simply wonderful.' - BEN FOGLE'Kate's book has the warmth and calming effect of a log fire and a glass of…
wine. Unknit your brow and let go. It's a treat.' - GARETH MALONE'Kate Humble pours her enviable knowledge into attainable goals. It's a winning combination and the prize - a life in balance with nature - is definitely worth claiming.' - LUCY SIEGLE'As ever, where Kate leads, I follow. She has made me reassess and reset.' - DAN SNOW'Kate Humble's new book is a lesson in moving on from a tragedy and finding our place in the world' - WOMAN & HOME'A Year of Living Simply is timely, given that the pandemic has forced most of us, in some way to simplify our lives, whether we planned to or not. Kate wrote it before any of us were aware of the upcoming crisis, but it captures the current moment perfectly... It's not necessarily a "how to" book, more of a "why not try?" approach.' - FRANCESCA BABB, MAIL ON SUNDAY YOU'What I particularly love is her philosophy for happiness, which is the subject of her new book, A Year of Living Simply. The clue is in the title. Remember the basics. Instead of barging through the day on autopilot, really stop to think about the tiniest little things that added a moment of joy. No, of course stopping and smelling the flowers won't cure all our ills and woes. But taking the time to savour the things that bring pleasure, really being in that moment and appreciating it, can remind you that most days have moments that buoy your mood.' - JO ELVIN, MAIL ON SUNDAY YOUIf there is one thing that most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff - The Latest, The Newest, The Best Yet - is all too often peddled as the sure fire route to happiness. So why then, in our consumer-driven society, is depression, stress and anxiety ever more common, affecting every strata of society and every age, even, worryingly, the very young? Why is it, when we have so much, that many of us still feel we are missing something and the rush of pleasure when we buy something new turns so quickly into a feeling of emptiness, or purposelessness, or guilt?So what is the route to real, deep, long lasting happiness? Could it be that our lives have just become overly crowded, that we've lost sight of the things - the simple things - that give a sense of achievement, a feeling of joy or excitement? That make us happy. Do we need to take a step back, reprioritise? Do we need to make our lives more simple? Kate Humble's fresh and frank exploration of a stripped-back approach to life is uplifting, engaging and inspiring - and will help us all find balance and happiness every day.Altamente sensible: El poder de sentir, cuidar y conectar
Par Jenn Granneman, Andre Sólo. 2023
Tu sensibilidad es una fortaleza, aprende a usarla. Un libro eminentemente práctico e inspirador que cambiará, de una vez por…
todas, nuestra percepción de las personas altamente sensibles y les dará alas. Todo el mundo tiene un lado sensible, pero una de cada tres personas posee una genética que la hace, física y emocionalmente, más sensible que los demás. Piensan antes de hablar y de actuar, perciben detalles sutiles y hacen conexiones que otros pasan por alto; suelen ser inteligentes, de gran corazón y muy creativas; están programadas para profundizar, pero la sociedad las induce a ocultar su sensibilidad. Son las personas altamente sensibles (PAS), y este es el libro que las defiende y empodera. La manera de prosperar como persona altamente sensible no es ocultar la propia sensibilidad, sino abrazarla. Jenn Granneman y Andre Sólo, creadores de la comunidad para PAS más grande del mundo, enseñan cómo desbloquear el potencial de esta fortaleza infravalorada y cómo aprovecharla en las áreas más importantes de la vida: las amistades, las relaciones, el trabajo, el liderazgo, y la crianza de los hijos. Entrelazando consejos prácticos, anécdotas y las últimas investigaciones científicas, los autores muestran la gran ventaja de lo que llaman el «efecto impulsor de la sensibilidad» y brindan las herramientas y los conocimientos necesarios para triunfar como PAS en un mundo ruidoso, rápido y en exceso agitado. La crítica ha dicho:«Este magnífico libro replantea cómo percibir la alta sensibilidad -nuestra o de otra persona- y arroja luz sobre el gran poder inherente a estar tan en sintonía con el mundo».Susan Cain, autora de El poder de los introvertidos, n.º 1 de The New York Times«Granneman y Sólo ofrecen una hábil combinación de informes científicos y consejos, una oportunidad única e imprescindible para aprovechar el enorme poder del individuo sensible en un mundo cada vez más ruidoso».Cal Newport, autor de Digital Minimalism y Deep «Una lectura absolutamente obligada para aquellos que experimentan este mundo con profundos sentimiento, conciencia y empatía».Ellen Hendriksen, autora de How to Be Yourself «El libro de Grannemany Sólo amplía nuestros horizontes.

Par Britt Wray. 2022
FINALIST FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARDA CBC BEST CANADIAN NONFICTION BOOK OF 2022AN INDIGO TOP TEN BEST SELF-HELP BOOK…
OF 2022"A vital and deeply compelling read.&” —Adam McKay, award-winning writer, director and producer (Don&’t Look Up)&“Britt Wray shows that addressing global climate change begins with attending to the climate within.&” —Dr. Gabor Maté, author of The Myth of Normal"Read this courageous book.&” —Naomi KleinAn impassioned generational perspective on how to stay sane amid climate disruption.Climate and environment-related fears and anxieties are on the rise everywhere. As with any type of stress, eco-anxiety can lead to lead to burnout, avoidance, or a disturbance of daily functioning. In Generation Dread, Britt Wray seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how these intense feelings are a healthy response to the troubled state of the world. The first crucial step toward becoming an engaged steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions, seeing them as a sign of humanity, and learning how to live with them. We have to face and value eco-anxiety, Wray argues, before we can conquer the deeply ingrained, widespread reactions of denial and disavowal that have led humanity to this alarming period of ecological decline.It&’s not a level playing field when it comes to our vulnerability to the climate crisis, she notes, but as the situation worsens, we are all on the field—and unlocking deep stores of compassion and care is more important than ever. Weaving in insights from climate-aware therapists, critical perspectives on race and privilege in this crisis, ideas about the future of mental health innovation, and creative coping strategies, Generation Dread brilliantly illuminates how we can learn from the past, from our own emotions, and from each other to survive—and even thrive—in a changing world.The Third Door: The Mindset of Success
Par Alex Banayan. 2018
FORBES #1 CAREER BOOK TO READ IN 2018The larger-than-life journey of an 18-year-old college freshman who set out from his…
dorm room to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, and dozens more of the world&’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.The Third Door takes readers on an unprecedented adventure—from hacking Warren Buffett&’s shareholders meeting to chasing Larry King through a grocery store to celebrating in a nightclub with Lady Gaga—as Alex Banayan travels from icon to icon, decoding their success. After remarkable one-on-one interviews with Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, Jane Goodall, Larry King, Jessica Alba, Pitbull, Tim Ferriss, Quincy Jones, and many more, Alex discovered the one key they have in common: they all took the Third Door. Life, business, success… it&’s just like a nightclub. There are always three ways in. There&’s the First Door: the main entrance, where ninety-nine percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always… the Third Door. It&’s the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, climb over the dumpster, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen—there&’s always a way in. Whether it&’s how Bill Gates sold his first piece of software or how Steven Spielberg became the youngest studio director in Hollywood history, they all took the Third Door.Called to Peace: A Survivor's Guide to Finding Peace and Healing after Domestic Abuse
Par Joy Forrest. 2018
What do you do when you don’t believe in divorce, but find yourself in a toxic, or even dangerous, marriage?…
This is an agonizing struggle for many women; it certainly was for Joy Forrest, founder of Called to Peace Ministries. Joy prayed, sought counseling, and read every book she could find on the subject, but the intimidation she endured from her husband continued to escalate until fleeing the danger became her only option. Even then, she found herself overwhelmed by guilt and shame. As a devout Believer, Joy immersed herself in prayer and Bible study and, over time, began to see God’s heart for the oppressed and realized the erroneous beliefs that had kept her in bondage. Called to Peace is one part memoir and one part guidebook. Joy’s story and insight will help you to recognize the signs of an abusive relationship, as well as provide you with spiritual truths to combat guilt and promote healing after abuse. Whether you are in an abusive relationship yourself or desire to help someone else who is suffering from domestic abuse, this book offers hope, inspiration, and biblical guidance.Reworked: Putting Health and Happiness at the Centre of Your Career
Par Stephanie Fitzgerald. 2023
We're raised to believe that we will have jobs and work. Our school system is designed in part to educate…
us so we can find a good job afterwards. Yet no-one ever tells you how to work. No one ever sits you down and tells you how to be at the centre of your work, how to get the most out of your role and how to be happy, healthy, safe and engaged in the workplace. Lacking this knowledge, work often veers off and feels wrong. Panicking, we change and start again somewhere else, thinking 'it's not me, it's the job'. And then the process begins again.In a post-COVID19 world where redundancies are high, and job opportunities are low, never has it been so essential to learn how to be happy and healthy at work. Literature advocating that you 'love it or leave it' is not applicable or helpful in a squeezed job-market. Not many have the privilege of being able to up and leave their job, and even if you do there is no guarantee of happiness if you don't know the rules or understand how to work well and be well at work.Unless you do the work, you can change jobs as often as you like but still never find the elusive happiness you seek. Jumping from job to job will not provide you with the answers, unless you can first rework yourself and shed yourself of the burden of inherited cultures, past beliefs and historical mistakes.Reworked utilises neuroscience, evidence-based psychology and two decades of working in health and wellbeing to teach you how to be happy, healthy, safe and engaged at work. These are the four key pillars which run throughout the book. A book to empower, inspire and ignite a passion for happiness at work, Reworked will teach you everything you need to rethink, reimagine and reinvent yourself, as you always wanted to be, in the workplace.The Cost of Comfort (American Philosophy)
Par John Lachs. 2019
Why do we feel empty when our lives seem so full? A philosopher&’s &“clear, engaging reflection&” on the psychic risks…
of today&’s world (John T. Lysaker, author of After Emerson). While comfort has not always reached everyone evenly, most of us who live in the United States today reap the benefits of modern life. We live longer, we eat better food, we have access to good medical care, and we can stay in touch with loved ones who are far away. Yet, as philosopher John Lachs observes, these comfortable lives come at a cost: our increasing unhappiness. Irresponsible behavior, including by those in positions of power in governments and corporations, only increases and multiplies feelings of bitterness and disaffection. In this book, Lachs argues that this dizzyingly complex world often inspires isolation, and that deeper engagement with it is required in order to dispel our growing psychic distance. Lachs advocates for mediation and champions education, advertising, openness, and transparency to help individuals understand the roles they play in society and to nullify claims to blamelessness. Lachs suggests new rules for responsibility and argues that examining and understanding the consequences of one&’s actions is imperative to overcoming the ills and problems of the modern world—and to find the fulfillment we seek. &“A very clear, engaging reflection on a genuine contemporary issue: deep feelings of disengagement and bewilderment about how to live responsibly in an almost overwhelmingly complex world.&” —John T. Lysaker, author of After EmersonAbraza tus partes rotas: Conócete, acéptate, sánate

Atrévete a mirar adentro para conocerte, entenderte y, así, sanar tus heridas y tus partes rotas. «María te enseña y…
te abraza con cada palabra de este libro; disfrutar de su elegancia y su ternura en estas páginas me parece un lujo». —Lorena Gascón, @lapsicologajaputa Desde que nacemos, nos enseñan que tenemos que sonreír, ser fuertes, sentirnos felices y poder con todo. Nos dicen que no tengamos miedo, no estemos tristes y no nos mostremos vulnerables. Entonces ¿por qué nos sorprende que, ya adultos, no sepamos relacionarnos de una forma sana con nuestras emociones? ¿Por qué nos extraña tener tanto miedo a lo que sentimos, no saber cómo procesar un duelo o cómo enfrentarnos a una situación estresante? Para sanar las heridas internas y superar procesos como la ansiedad o la depresión, necesitamos entender que la vida no va de estar siempre alegres, necesitamos aprender a mirar adentro y a curar aquello que se ha roto. La psicóloga María Ros, nos invita a parar y observar, con una mirada comprensiva, cada una de nuestras heridas, pues solo desde ahí podremos empezar a cerrarlas. Abraza tus partes rotas nos muestra el camino para conocernos, entendernos y sanarnos, con conciencia y compasión, sin juzgarnos. Reseñas:«Abraza tus partes rotas nos ayuda a mandar a la mierda la capa de Superman y Superwoman, para que por fin podamos permitirnos ser vulnerables, y nos da herramientas para ser amables con todo lo que nos encontramos en el camino hacia nosotros mismos. María te enseña y te abraza con cada palabra de este libro; disfrutar de su elegancia y suternura en estas páginas me parece un lujo».Lorena Gascón, @lapsicologajaputa, psicóloga y autora de Querido cerebro, ¿qué coño quieres de mí? «María nos invita a hacer un muy necesario viaje al interior que, conociéndola, no estará exento de sensibilidad; una sensibilidad más que necesaria para abrazar las emociones incómodas y aquellas partes que nos resultan más difíciles de mirar».Montse Cazcarra, @montsecazcarrapsicologia, psicóloga y autora de Amor sano, amor del bueno«Este libro es una bocanada de aire fresco hacia el autoconocimiento y autocuidado que todos necesitamos: mirarnos con amor y vernos a nosotros mismos como nuestros mejores amigos. Somos afortunados por poder leer las palabras de María, una persona, psicóloga y escritora 10 que, en línea con el concepto japonés meraki, hace todas las cosas con amor, poniendo el alma en ello».Inés María Romero Barrio, psicóloga y fundadora de Livera @livera.es
