The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Think Like a Monk
offers a revelatory guide to every stage of romance, drawing on
ancient wisdom and new science. Nobody sits us down and teaches us
how to love. So we're often thrown into relationships with nothing
but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until
now. Instead of presenting love as an ethereal concept or a
collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, actionable
steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love
better than ever before. He shares insights on how to win or lose
together, how to define love, and why you don't break in a
break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles
the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in
together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to
avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners. By
living Jay Shetty's eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our
partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.
Because hope is a popular, timely, and life-changing concept, 100 Days of Hope will
be a classic gift book. Journaling lines are included to challenge readers to record that
for which they are hopeful for 100 days. Cultivating a habit of hopefulness helps
readers lead peaceful, happier lives - making this book a gorgeous option for
birthdays, holidays, or Mother's Day, or as a thoughtful "just because" gift.
Each entry will include corresponding Scripture and a journaling prompt, as well as
adequate journaling lines for responses.
The popular concept of hope paired with beautiful design and inspirational content
blend into a timeless gift book readers will love.
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
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.
The Cottage Life reflects our collective desire to escape the chaos
of modern existence; to live with more purpose, more compassion and
more joy. Â The Cottage Life is an essential guide to slow
and simple living, inspired by the magical world of cottagecore. To
follow the cottagecore aesthetic is to wear secondhand clothes that
tell their own stories; to bake fresh bread and cakes, no matter
how wonky the outcome; to spend time in nature, to observe and draw
the plants, to breathe freshair and to connect with species beyond
our own. It is taking the time to notice the seasons change, or to
turn off your screen mindfully and pick up an old novel instead. It
is lighting a fire on the first cool night of autumn and sipping a
fresh cup of tea by the fireplace, or watching the first spring
leaves unfurl after the long, dark winter. Celebrating the small
joys in life, from the first birdsong of the morning to the taste
of ripe plums on a summer afternoon. And, above all else, it is
learning to slow down, connect with the world around you and be a
more compassionate, conscientious citizen of the earth. Â
Each chapter explores different ways of embracing the cottagecore
lifestyle, such as interacting with nature, eating seasonally and
getting creative. Inherently low-impact and green, cottagecore
embraces reuse and recycling and celebrates an old-fashioned
no-waste ethic. Fortunately for most, possession of a country
cottage is not essential to embody the cottagecore spirit. With
guidance on nurturing your home and small touches for interior
decoration, The Cottage Life brings country living ideals to any
space. Â Cottagecore is much more than a fashion trend or
social media bandwagon. It is a peaceful protest against the darker
elements of modern life—The Cottage Life is a gentle embrace with
the past, encouraging you to truly enjoy the present and nurture a
brighter future. Â Â
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE
GUARDIAN, NEW STATESMAN AND THE IRISH TIMES 'Illuminating and
entertaining . . . while the world seems to counsel despair, The
Persuaders is animated by a sense of possibility' The New York
Times The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing
other people's minds to enable real change. But America is
suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its
democracy and the planet itself at risk. People increasingly write
each other off instead of seeking to win each other over. Debates
are framed in moralistic terms, with enemies battling the
righteous. Movements for justice build barriers to entry, instead
of on-ramps. Political parties focus on mobilizing the faithful
rather than wooing the sceptical. And leaders who seek to forge
coalition are labelled sell-outs. In The Persuaders best-selling
author Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and
battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion
persuasion in an age of polarization. We meet a co-founder of Black
Lives Matter; a leader of the feminist resistance to Trumpism;
white parents at a seminar on raising adopted children of colour;
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; a team of door
knockers with an uncanny formula for changing minds on immigration;
and an ex-cult member turned QAnon deprogrammer. As they grapple
with how to "call out" threats and injustices while "calling in"
those who don't agree with them but just might one day, they point
a way to healing, and changing, a broken society.
