Life is stressful. But it doesn't have to be. It's no wonder you
can't calm down: your to-do list is as long as your arm, your bank
balance keeps dropping, you feel guilty for not calling your
parents more often and there always seems to be a big deadline to
meet at work. You need a serious breather-but you can barely find
time to shower, let alone to exercise or meditate. In Let That Sh*t
Go, Kate Petriw and Nina Purewal share the wisdom they've gained
though decades of practising and teaching others to find peace of
mind no matter how busy they are. Learn to put your life in
perspective, take each day one step at a time and steal moments of
calm amid the chaos. And remember: it's not worth holding onto that
sh*t.

In The Power of Habit , award-winning New York Times business
reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific
discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed.
With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of
information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole
new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.
Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to
change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves
overnight.
We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and
where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right
habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps,
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King,
Jr.
We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick
Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest
hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn
billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and
death.
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating
argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising
exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary
companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding
how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by
harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our
communities, and our lives.

and friends formed her. She tells of her adventures, her pain and the harsh

The concise edition of the 2019 WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BOOK AWARD
From the million-copy bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power
Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.
We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.
Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Concise Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.
