Applying the methods and ideas espoused in his popular book
"Choice Theory," world-renowned psychiatrist and relationship
expert Dr. William Glasser, along with his wife, Carleen, offers a
practical guide to an enduring, satisfying, successful marriage.
"Eight Lessons for a Happier Marriage" showcases eight real-life
histories of troubled couples and presents simple, practical
solutions to overcoming the pitfalls illustrated therein. Keeping
love alive and strong is not as difficult as you think; let the
Glassers and this indispensable book show you how!
It's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon
without 'con'. My goal in this book isn't to tell anyone how they
should dress or how they should do their hair or makeup or even
what poop bags to purchase. Trust me, I'm not stylish. I'm
self-aware. I'm not polished, I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy, I'm
trying. I LOVE fashion and style as much as the next lady, man or
French bulldog, but telling people how they should look doesn't
suit me. I know I have no authority in that department (I barely
even shop in department stores). Instead, this is a look at own
silly and yet practical approach to style - don't worry, I've
already been restricted to no more than two chapters on sweatpants.
This book is one part parody, one part irreverent fashion fun, and
one part personal experience. Imagine if Lauren Conrad's book
Lauren Conrad Style loosened its modest, but pricey (because it's
an investment piece!!) Banana Republic belt a few notches... It'd
still probably think this guide is completely dumb, but hey, this
book is about pretending you've got style & grace and making no
apologies for having fun.
'This beautiful and timely book will appeal to anyone looking to
deepen their experience, with or without the added joy of a cold
swim.' Kate Rew, author of The Outdoor Swimmers' Handbook 'An
essential guide to a movement reborn, blending modernity and
tradition, design and wellness, community and nature.' Sarah
Douglas, editor in chief, Wallpaper magazine There is a new wave of
sauna culture spreading throughout the UK and beyond. Saunas are
being built in unique settings providing tech-free spaces in which
to gather, share stories and enjoy nature. The tradition has a rich
history, filled with rituals that encourage us to soak up the
mental and physical health benefits of deep heat. This book honours
the old, embraces the new, and plunges headlong into the
transformative power of steam. 'Smartly written and beautifully
illustrated ... a celebration of a cultural resurgence and a
reminder of the power of connecting with nature and something
larger than ourselves.' Mikkel Aaland, author of Sweat
An in-depth, full-color, step-by-step guide to the new golf swing
that has taken the PGA Tour by storm
The traditional golf swing requires a level of coordination that
few golfers have. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances
in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America
has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf
instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer spent a decade
researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics
to create a method they dubbed the "Stack and Tilt." The result?
Big-name pros like Mike Weir, Tommy Armour III, and Aaron Baddeley
are already converts, and Bennett and Plummer are now two of the
most soughtafter swing coaches in the game.
Making these breakthroughs available to everyone, "The Stack and
Tilt Swing" is a handsome, fully illustrated, complete course,
packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs that make
it easy for golfers at all levels to adopt this radical yet simple
approach. Analyzing why the traditional swing won't work for most
golfers, the authors explain the importance of keeping the upper
body stacked over the lower body, while the spine tilts toward the
target during the backswing, greatly reducing the inconsistencies
created by the old-fashioned approach. Enhanced with practice
routines, a troubleshooting list, test cases, and point-by-point
assistance, this is the breakthrough guide to golf's hot new secret
weapon.

WALLSTREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Live lighter. Live freer. Live a
bigger life with less. In Declutter Like a Mother, Allie Casazza
comes alongside you to explore: Why decluttering calms anxiety in
your heart and lessens tension in your relationships. How to ensure
your house is working for you, not against you. Why kids thrive
when they're not overwhelmed with options. How to make time, when
you feel you don't have time, to declutter. Allie Casazza was tired
of feeling it was her against the laundry in her home. She wondered
if somewhere beneath her frantic days and the mountains of toys in
the playroom she would ever find joy and peace in motherhood. Then
she discovered the abundance . . . of less. As she purged her home
of excess stuff, Allie discovered a lifestyle that strengthened her
marriage, saved her motherhood, and helped her develop her gifts in
a way that no amount of new kitchen appliances or new organizing
system ever could. Research studies show a direct link between
stress levels and the amount of physical possessions people have in
their homes, and Allie has seen that truth play out in her own life
and in the lives of hundreds of thousands of other moms she has
mentored through her business and online courses. She proclaims:
You don't need a home that's perfect. You need a home that's
lighter. Discover less stress, more space. Less chaos, more peace.
Less of what doesn't matter, so you have room for what matters most
of all.
