Successful But Something Missing: Daring to Enjoy Life to the Full
Par Ben Renshaw. 2000
This book is aimed at anyone interested in improving and enhancing their quality of life. So often our greatest motivator…
is to be 'successful' - and we strive mightily to achieve a long list of things - a good job title, a car, a house, a relationship etc. - only to feel disillusioned and empty once we've got them. Ben Renshaw shows how true fulfillment comes from finding a healthy balance between the spheres of mind, body and soul. He explains: *the principles of happiness *the confidence need not be a problem *the art of relationships *how to make you 'vocation your vacation' *that developing a sense of humour is essential With a refreshing honesty - and a thoroughly fresh approach - Ben Renshaw offers many practical solutions, much wisdom and many answers to the questions which most of us ask about our hurried, stressful often baffling lives today.The Success Myth: Our obsession with achievement is a trap. This is how to break free

The Mess We're In"You will not be able to put this book down" The IndependentOUR OBSESSION WITH ACHIEVEMENT IS A TRAP. THIS IS HOW TO BREAK FREE.Emma Gannon was thriving in her portfolio career, enjoying a happy personal life and to anyone looking in, she was undoubtedly a success... She was also burned out and confused at why she felt unhappy, yet was still striving for more.After taking a deep look at her own journey, and interviewing many other successful people on her podcast Ctrl, Alt, Delete, she realised that our overly celebrated and traditional version of success is making us lonely, unfulfilled and dispirited. Now she has worked out a way to do things differently, and here Emma shares her hard-won lessons, including:• how to set goals that are ambitious but not overwhelming• why the 'tick-box' moments in life often feel anticlimactic• and how to break free from comparison and the endless pursuit of moreA manifesto to craft work (and life) on your own terms, The Success Myth will give you the belief and tools to walk away from 'having it all', uncovering your individual path to fulfilment.Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere
Par Maria Bamford. 2023
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From &“weird, scary, ingenious&” (The New York Times) stand-up comedian Maria Bamford, a brutally honest…
and hilariously frenetic memoir about show business, mental health, and the comfort of rigid belief systems—from Dale Carnegie&’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, to Suzuki violin training, to Richard Simmons, to 12-step programs.Maria Bamford is a comedian&’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford&’s signature voice, Sure, I&’ll Join Your Cult, brings us on a quest to participate in something. With sincerity and transparency, she recounts every anonymous fellowship she has joined (including but not limited to: Debtors Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous), every hypomanic episode (from worrying about selling out under capitalism to enforcing union rules on her Netflix TV show set to protect her health), and every easy 1-to-3-step recipe for fudge in between. Singular and inimitable, Bamford&’s memoir explores what it means to keep going, and to be a member of society (or any group she&’s invited to) despite not being very good at it. In turn, she hopes to transform isolating experiences into comedy that will make you feel less alone (without turning into a cult following).Stuffocation: Living More with Less

It was a stark reminder of how cruel life can be and, of course, of their beloved sister Bernie, who also faced and lost the same battle.Stronger Together is Linda and Anne's story. A reflection on their close-knit relationship, in the limelight and behind the scenes, and of how family helped them hold it all together when things got tough.
