Expert organizer and "New York Times" bestselling author Julie
Morgenstern teaches you how to get rid of the physical, mental, and
time clutter that's keeping you from the life you want.
Julie Morgenstern has made a career out of helping her clients get
organized. But in the process, she discovered something surprising:
for many of her clients, organizing isn't enough. For those who are
eager to make a change in their lives--a new job, a new
relationship, a new stage in life--they need to get rid of the old
before they can organize the new. They need to SHED their stuff
before they can change their lives So Julie created the SHED
process--a four-step plan to get rid of the physical, mental, and
schedule clutter that holds back so many of us. But SHEDing isn't
just about throwing things away Julie teaches that its just as
important to focus on what comes before and after you heave the
clutter, so that the changes you make really stick in the long
term. Learn about:
- Separating the treasures (figuring out what really matters)
- Heaving the rest (undertaking the tough work of eliminating
excess)
- Embracing your true identity (figuring out who you really want to
be)
- Driving yourself forward (achieving real change now that the past
isn't holding you back any longer)
Whether you're facing a move, a promotion, an empty nest, a
marriage, divorce, or retirement, "SHED Your Stuff, Change Your
Life" provides a practical, transformative plan for positively
managing change in every aspect of your life.

Simon Mundie, host of the A New Way of Being podcast, draws on interviews with some of the world’s sporting legends to redefine how we understand – and pursue - success through 8 key lessons.
As the sports reporter for BBC Radio 1 for the best part of a decade, Simon Mundie was pitch-side at many of the most high-profile sporting events in history. It was often thrilling, but the emphasis always seemed to be on results, tactics and the score. But as the saying goes, sport is a metaphor for life – so Simon set out to explore that.
Drawing on interviews with sporting legends from Jonny Wilkinson to Kate Richardson-Walsh, Caitlyn Jenner to Goldie Sayers, along with psychologists, philosophers and world-renowned thinkers, Simon shares some of the tools and techniques that sportspeople have embraced to grow and evolve. From developing emotional intelligence to the power of true acceptance and the joy of getting in flow, he explores eight universal themes that are highlighted in sport, but that are all too easily overlooked.
What can the careers of Gaël Monfils and Andy Murray teach us about exploring our potential? What can England’s Olympic gold-medal winning hockey team teach us about the power of being truly selfless? Wise and inspiring, Champion Thinking illustrates that the contentment we are all looking for isn’t somewhere ‘out there’ – it’s actually so close that we tend to overlook it.
Best-selling author and spiritual pioneer Dr. David R. Hawkins offers insights into the illusory nature of existence, and how to realize a state of higher consciousness. In this new book, derived from Dr. David Hawkins’s popular Way to God lecture series, he explores perception and illusion, how the truth becomes distorted, and ultimately, the root of consciousness. In Part One, Dr. Hawkins explains how the ego functions in society and that the world out there is a projection of what is within us. He confirms that everything is happening on its own, and everything is perfect right now. He also discusses quantum mechanics and how what you hold in mind tends to manifest. In addition, he talks about why people don’t change even after hearing spiritual truths and how to alleviate this problem. In Part Two, Dr. Hawkins discusses the time-honored tradition of meditation, which he informs us is our natural state. Instead of covering the numerous styles of meditation, he delves into the essence of the meditation process itself. He talks about how we can obtain the benefits of meditation without going through formal renunciation. Dr. Hawkins explains two valuable ways of meditating, which he experienced himself. He also tells us of the various ways to transcend the mind to become aware of the presence of God.
This volume aims at further articulating and developing the
cultural psychological interest in community. It focuses on the
processes through which individuals constitute communities and the
processes that restrain or enable moving forward with others. This
interest is necessary especially now that the world is on the move.
Economic crises, political crises and ecological crises have led to
reinforced migration patterns, a rise in authoritarianism and
xenophobia, and have become a threat to the survival of the world
as we know it, particularly to minorities and indigenous
communities. At the same time, we are witnessing the birth of new
networks, dialogues and actions, generated by people within,
between and among communities. Therefore, this volume collects
interdisciplinary theoretical, empirical and applied contributions
enabling engagement with communities in cultural psychology. This
involves both reflections on meaning-making processes and
projections on how they feed into social transformation, in
exchange with community psychology, anthropology and sociology.
People vitally depend on community to effectively negotiate or
resist in complex intercultural or intergroup settings. In the wake
of human rights violations or to prevent further damage to the
environment a community is needed to undertake action. From
feminist movements and disability activism to the otherwise
marginalized: how do people constitute communities? How do they
resist as a community? How can cultural psychology contribute not
only to understand meaning-making processes, but also connect them
to processes of social transformation? Migration, moving through
and connecting to different communities can affect meaning making
in significant ways. People consider themselves as members of one
or another community, but they also increasingly enter into new
settings of social practice with new means for action. How might
creative meaning-making build bridges between communities? How
might new community arise in between or with others? How can
cultural psychology deal with intercultural processes without
reifying different cultures? These are the central questions that
the, mostly emerging, scholars from many corners of the world
address in this book. Their research addresses different
institutional settings that are resisted and transformed from
within, in dialogue with others. From social work, NGOs and
municipal activity to university talent mobility and art projects
for youth. Other settings are newly inhabited, from the public
square and the social media to a foreign city and neighborhood
church. Thus, more communities appear on the map of cultural
psychology.
An essential, universally resonant new memoir from the number one
bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest
nightmare?
Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love inspired millions
of readers to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery. A
decade later, Big Magic empowered countless others to live their most
creative lives. Now comes another landmark book – about love and loss,
addiction and recovery, grief and liberation.
In 2000, a friend sent Liz to see a new hairdresser named Rayya Elias.
An intense and unlikely curiosity sparked between these two apparent
opposites: Rayya, an East Village badass who lived boldly on her own
terms but feared she was a failed artist; Liz, a married people-pleaser
with a surprisingly unfettered sense of creativity. Over the years,
they became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy
entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: the two were in
love. Unacknowledged: they were also a pair of addicts, on a collision
course toward catastrophe.
What if the love of your life – and the person you most trusted in the
world – became a danger to your sanity and wellbeing? What if the dear
friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies
became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every
one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a
pathway to your greatest awakening?
All the Way to the River is for everyone who has ever been captive to
love – or to any other passion, substance, or craving – and who yearns,
at long last, for peace and freedom.
