In this poignant, hilarious and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywood's most powerful woman, the mega-talented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder, reveals how saying YES changed her life - and how it can change yours too.
With three hit shows on television and three children at home, Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say no when invitations arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And to an introvert like Shonda, who describes herself as 'hugging the walls' at social events and experiencing panic attacks before press interviews, there was a particular benefit to saying no: nothing new to fear. Then came Thanksgiving 2013, when Shonda's sister Delorse muttered six little words at her: "You never say yes to anything".
Profound, impassioned and laugh-out-loud funny, in Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes reveals how saying YES changed - and saved - her life. And inspires readers everywhere to change their own lives with one little word: Yes.
The twentieth anniversary edition of the classic parenting book,

and employees.
For more than twenty years, "The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My
Children" has been helping parents to put the joy back into
parenting. Steven Vannoy's unique parenting style is designed to
create a harmonious family atmosphere with self-esteem, compassion,
balance, humor, communication, integrity, responsibility, conscious
choice, and full expression of emotions.

create healthier and more fulfilling workplaces. With updated
principles and a new foreword by the author, this twentieth
anniversary edition will help both new and old readers of "The 10
Greatest Gifts I Give My Children" build better relationships with
their children and colleagues both in the office and at home.
Warning: this book contains strong language (which may be
unsuitable for children). There's enough solidly inspirational and
profoundly beautiful literature out there already for your reading
pleasure, I won't add to that. Instead I offer you this. I wrote
it. I felt compelled to do so because I have a suspicion that, like
me, we all worry about and over analyse the same things in life. We
are all just anxious meatbags, trying to get along. We all want
similar (ish) things. Happiness, family, love, safety, FAME and a
metabolism that helpfully speeds up annually on the event of our
passing birthdays. I found this quote a few years ago, it came up
as I was scrolling on the internet. It's so beautiful it actually
hurts. "You're a ghost driving a meat coated skeleton, made from
stardust. What do you have to be scared of?" It's deep isn't it?
It's basically the theme of this book. It's aim and my intention is
to alleviate worries and reassure the reader that we are all the
same inside. We ALL relate to the same s*** that keeps us awake at
night. I'll be honest... I swear like a trucker, but I sure can
write and I have good intentions. And, as the front cover states-
it's a guide to surviving the best bits of life and holding our
middle fingers up to the rest! - Bind
Bestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream.
Dr Davis has connected the dots between ''gut health'' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. 1 in 3 people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine.
Super Gut shares a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only gets to the root of many diseases but improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health and promotes anti-aging and weight loss. Dr Davis provides not just the science and case studies but also more than 40 recipes and solutions. In Super Gut, he ensures readers understand the science, diagnose their gut issues, eradicate them and maintain their long-term health.
This book will take you on Andy's personal journey of recovery,
giving you a direct window into how it felt mentally and physically
to suffer a heart attack. This came as a huge shock to Andy, not
least because he didn't smoke or drink but was leading what he
thought was a perfectly healthy lifestyle. He shares his darker
moments of fear and depression and how he learned to master his
negative thoughts. It is written to pay respects to all those
around the world who face up against serious illness, be that
mental or physical, look it square in the eye and tell it to**CK
OFF.
