From John Gray, author of the phenomenal multi-million copy bestseller Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, comes the definitive book for men and women seeking lasting love in the face of modern pressures. Why Mars and Venus Collide is the most important relationships manual since Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus redefined the boundaries of male and female relationships. Men and women are different - we all know that. But if our genes have stood still then social changes have not.

In Why Mars and Venus Collide, John Gray, the best-selling relationships author of all time, shows how everyone can strengthen their relationships and make them last. He explains: Why couples fight - the physiological reasons why females and males behave differently under stress, How to stop fighting, How to seek support - and find it, How to lower your stress levels in everyday life, How to communicate equably and amicably, even when you're raging inside. Now repackaged to relate to a new generation of readers, Why Mars And Venus Collide proves why John Gray is known as the greatest living authority on how men and women relate.

Do you remember the last time you worried needlessly? The next time you start ruminating, pick up a pencil and follow these steps: (1) Jot down what's on your mind. (2) List a few things that you can do to address your worries. If the situation is truly out of your control, it can be a relief just to acknowledge it. (3) Later, look back your worries and evaluate them in hindsight. Each page has two tear-off tabs so that you can "tag" the subject as "Worth My Worry" or "NOT Worth My Worry." You'll be shocked to see how often things aren't as worry-worthy as they seem. No Worries is also filled with inspiring quotes and ideas about conquering worries, all set in a bold and empowering design. The package is uplifting, giftable, and holds the promise of lightening your load. Worrying comes naturally to journaling as a topic, but this journal offers a way to redirect your thinking and move on to a more positive place.

Maureen Cooper explains why humans are designed to respond to stress in a certain way and why this can even be helpful at times. She goes on to show how to transform our habitual way of responding to stress by training ourselves in compassion and thereby improving our sense of control and wellbeing. In this workbook, you can learn to manage stress better: * Using tried and tested compassion techniques * Via case studies and practical exercises

Get back to basics and transform your life with this simple four-week, step-by-step breathing retraining program. In her years of teaching breathing retraining, Mary Birch has found that the majority of her clients experiencing symptoms of panic, anxiety and stress are overbreathing, sometimes significantly. Generally, they are not aware that they are overbreathing, or that this is linked to symptoms. Reducing breathing to the normal level has an enormous impact on reducing stress, anxiety, and panic and restoring a sense of calm. Most people will begin to feel an improvement in their symptoms within a week of implementing the strategies contained in this book, sometimes even within a few days. But Mary recommends a minimum four-week breathing retraining program for a reason: the body has to adjust to the new and improved breathing pattern, and this needs to become automatic, so that you do not revert to a disordered breathing pattern and chronic overbreathing in times of stress. Part 1 of this book provides an explanation of the link between overbreathing and stress, anxiety and panic symptoms. Part 2 contains a four-week program with weekly guidelines to help people experiencing these issues to improve their breathing pattern and gain long-term relief. If you struggle with symptoms of panic, stress or anxiety, this book could help change your life in a matter of weeks.
