In an inspiring follow-up to her critically acclaimed, #1 bestselling memoir Becoming, former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today’s highly uncertain world.
There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?
Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles—the earned wisdom that helps her continue to “become.” She details her most valuable practices, like “starting kind,” “going high,” and assembling a “kitchen table” of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.
“When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it,” writes Michelle Obama. A rewarding blend of powerful stories and profound advice that will ignite conversation, The Light We Carry inspires readers to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.
The groundbreaking bestseller that redefines intelligence and
success Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our
view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions
play major role in thought, decision making and individual success.
Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy
and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel:
whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With
new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and
rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can
be nurtured and strengthened in all of us.

A guide to making life's biggest decisions, from an internationally
renowned lifecoach. Just imagine if you didn't have to agonise over
difficult decisions. If you could feel absolute confidence in the
choices you made, regardless of the outcome. If you could dispense
with decisions altogether, on the basis that you always knew what
to do. Well, it's perfectly possible, according to top US
lifecoach, Laura Berman Fortgang. Each of us possesses an internal
compass which expresses our individual wisdom and points to the
things which would make us happiest. It is perfectly possible to
tap into this wisdom, to listen to our gut instincts and to make
them the basis for sound life decisions. 'Unlock the Life You Were
Meant to Lead' demonstrates how to live in tune with our inner
wisdom on a daily basis, with a combination of practical exercises,
client scenarios and questions to ponder. Combining Intuition (the
skill of the moment) and Wisdom (knowing how to tap into that
intuition and what to do with it), Laura Berman Fortgang shows us
how to get in touch with our inner selves and live a life of power,
grace and ease. 'Wisdom' is a precious resource for the new century
and this is the essential guidebook...
Finally, a man with the answers to the questions women ask about
men! Following two decades of research into the brains and
behaviour of men, Michael Gurian answers the questions every woman
is longing to have answered and gives them the knowledge they need
to have good relations with the opposite sex. Michael Gurian
presents a new vision of the male psyche that will satisfy the
tremendous curiosity women have about male behaviour, answering
questions such as: Why are men obsessed with electronic gadgets?
Why can't men see the house is a mess? Why do men watch TV instead
of talking about what's bothering them? Why do men get such a kick
out of watching mindless action films? Why can men remember the
names of football players, who scored and when, but not yesterday's
conversation? Why do men enjoy racing their cars through red
lights? Why do men put much of their identity in their work? Why do
men tend to get more workoholic after they have kids? Why don't men
notice when a house is messy or dusty? Michael Gurian makes a
profound statement about the role of men in modern culture and
suggests a way for men and women to thrive together in intimate
separateness.
Jon Ronson's captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our
world's most underappreciated forces: shame.
A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Through
social media, justice has been democratized and the silent majority are
getting a voice. But are we using our voice for good?
Instead we are mercilessly finding people’s faults and defining the
boundaries of normality by ruining the lives of those who position
themselves outside it. We are using shame as a form of social control.
In this prescient, unnerving yet often hilarious book, Jon Ronson meets
the victims of modern public shamings and, in doing so, plunges us deep
into the heart of a very modern terror: the terror of being found out.
Full of eye-opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws –
and the very scary part we all play in it – this is Jon Ronson at his
very best.
A Sunday Times Book of the Year when first published, So You’ve Been
Publicly Shamed is now part of the Picador Collection, a series
showcasing the best of modern literature.
Charming, charismatic, and delightful or manipulative, self-serving,
and cunning? Psychopaths are both and that's exactly what makes them
dangerous. Bestselling author of the international phenomenon
Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson reveals how to identify the
psychopaths in your life and combat their efforts to control and
manipulate.
Using the same simple four-color system of behavior classification that
made Surrounded by Idiots so popular, Surrounded by Psychopaths teaches
readers how to deal with psychopaths in their lives by becoming aware
of their own behavior and their weaknesses. Vivid example stories
illustrate ways that psychopaths can take advantage of various behavior
types, helping readers identify their own weaknesses and be proactive
about protecting themselves. Erikson outlines some of the most common
forms of manipulation used by psychopaths--and others--to influence
those around them. Since manipulation can often be a feature of
ordinary, non-psychopathic relationships, the book also includes
practical methods and techniques to help readers confront controlling
people and rehabilitate negative relationships into mutually respectful
ones.
By understanding your behavior as well as the tendencies and strategies
of psychopaths, Surrounded by Psychopaths will teach you to protect
yourself from manipulative influence in your workplace, social life,
and family.
