A personal code for living a better, happier, more successful kind
of life.
“Life doesn’t begin after the obstacles, life is the obstacles, and we
have to unlearn the idea that we need, or would even want, a life free
of chaos, stress, and anxiety. We grow from facing challenges and
exploring our limits.”
This book is for the overthinkers struggling with overwhelm, burnout,
and anxiety. If that’s you―sipping from a half-empty glass and staring
at your phone on the sidelines of your own life―then this book will
remind you that you are not alone and share tools to change your life
(and your mind).
Unanxious encourages readers to face their own stressors and triggers
head-on with research-backed techniques and journal prompts. Stories
from the author’s recent lessons in facing fears by pushing his own
boundaries―from ice baths, hot yoga, and ayahuasca journeys to moving
to a new city and forging meaningful connections with family and
friends―inspire and empower you to stop numbing and avoiding, and start
embracing the discomfort and doing what you want to do.
With a beginner’s mindset approach and a vulnerable sensibility, Humble
walks alongside you as you journey inward, learning from his mistakes
and delivering words of wisdom less like a sage on a mountaintop and
more like your most introspective friend.

This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it.
What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what?
My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame.
The program in Recovery has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions and it will do the same for you.
This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.

'The Source marries universal truths with scientific rigor for a
persuasive, important exploration of The Law of Attraction.' -
Deepak Chopra MD '[Like] the self-help success The Secret, but
cooler and more sciencey.' - Evening Standard Life-changing
opportunities pass us by every day - now we can train our minds to
seize them Self-help books like The Secret promise that we can tap
into the 'law of attraction' to control our destiny, simply by

of this idea is a fundamental truth that is backed up by the latest
breakthroughs in neuroscience: most of the things we want from life
- health, happiness, wealth, love - are governed by our ability to
think, feel and act; in other words, by our brain. Dr Tara Swart, a
neuroscientist and executive coach with a background in psychiatry,
is convinced beyond all doubt of our ability to alter how our
brains work - and transform our lives. In The Source, she draws on
the latest cognitive science and her experience coaching highly
successful people to reveal the secret to mastering our minds. With
a four-step plan to awaken the power of your brain, this unique
guide to life combines science and spirituality in a way that is
open-minded and practical. Discover how to: - Challenge 'autopilot'
thinking and rewire your brain's pathways to fulfil your potential
- Manifest the things you want by directing your energy towards
your deepest values and ambitions - Harness the power of
visualisation to prime your brain to grab opportunities and take
control of your future - Attack life with confidence, dispel fear
and avoid negative thinking Unlock your potential today - you are
just four steps away from building a new confident you.
The Go-Getter is Kyne's most famous work, first published by
William Randolph Hearst in 1921. The story centers around disabled
World War I veteran Bill Peck, a worker who must overcome many
obstacles in order to build a successful life for himself. At every
turn he is thwarted by life's circumstances and must rely on his
own tenacity and wits to see him through.American novelist PETER B.
KYNE (1880-1957) was born in San Francisco, California. From early
on it was clear that he had a gift for writing, and his time in the
army during the Spanish-American War and World War I gave him
plenty to write about. Kyne's novels include The Three Godfathers
(1913) and Cappy Ricks (1916).
