“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.”
In a world with more than 7 billion people, 196 countries, 7,000 spoken languages, and close to 30 religions, the probability of one group or one person intentionally or unintentionally offending another group or another person is absolutely certain. Many people limit themselves in life based on their inability to get along with others, and too often we allow ourselves to be ruled by our emotions. When we're emotionally reactive, we're not our best selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the time when the pattern has become destructive without them being aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of themselves-everyone who wants more peaceful interactions and more successful outcomes, but doesn't know how to achieve that-Quiet the Rage is the answer.
Hoe en wat ons dink, het ’n geweldige invloed op ons verstandelike,
emosionele en selfs fisieke welsyn. Om die waarheid te sê, ons denke
kan ons beperk tot dit wat ons glo ons kan doen, of dit kan ons dinge
laat ervaar waarvan ons nooit kon droom nie. Wanneer ons ’n denkwyse
kies wat ons vermoëns verruim, sal ons groter intellektuele
satisfaksie, emosionele beheer en fisieke gesondheid ervaar. Die vraag
is net: Hoe?
Dr. Leaf wys lesers hoe om hierdie kragtige hulpmiddels te kombineer om beter te vaar op die gebied van geheue, leer, intellektuele prestasie, werkprestasie, fisieke prestasie, verhoudings, emosionele gesondheid en – die belangrikste van alles – ’n lewe vol sin en betekenis te ervaar.

How can we reclaim the soul-deepening wildness that grounds us and energizes us when so much of the modern world seems designed to tame us? In this thrilling memoir of a life spent exploring the most incredible places on Earth—from the Great African Seaforest to the crocodile lairs of the Okavango Delta—Craig Foster reveals how we can attend to the earthly beauty around us and deepen our love for all living things, whether we make our homes in the country, the city, or anywhere in between. Foster explores his struggles to remain present to life when a disconnection from nature and the demands of his professional life begin to deaden his senses. And his own reliance on nature’s rejuvenating spiritual power is put to the test when catastrophe strikes close to home. Foster’s lyrical, riveting Amphibious Soul draws on his decades of daily ocean dives, wisdom from Indigenous teachers, and leading-edge science.
Psychologists have long realized that the ancient Greeks had deep insights into the human psyche which, whether they realized it or not, they expressed through their mythology. Peter Lemesurier's new book offers a way of using these insights directly as a startling new method of self-healing and self-realization. In the full tradition of Joseph Campbell, James Hillman and Karl Kerenyi, it applies the dynamics of the Greek myths to quite overwhelming effect - as many who have used the approach report. Basically, the system is homeopathic, in that it encourages co-operation with each currently controlling god in turn (once identified via a simple diagnostic test) thus allowing that god to "move on". By the same token, therefore, it gives readers full permission - perhaps for the first time in their lives - to be who they really are, removing all the stultifying effects of chronic guilt about themselves. But first, discover your god...
'Groundbreaking' Tara Brach Depression. Anxiety. Chronic pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the root of these difficulties may reside in the traumas of our parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents. The latest research affirms that traumatic experience is passed on to future generations and that this emotional inheritance, hidden in everything from our gene expression to everyday language, plays a greater role in our health than ever previously understood. Building on the work of leading experts in neuroscience and posttraumatic stress, Mark Wolynn has developed a pioneering approach to identifying and breaking these inherited family patterns. Having worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for more than twenty years, It Didn't Start With You is his accessible, pragmatic and transformative guide to a method that has helped thousands of people reclaim their lives.

In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together.

An instant "New York Times" bestseller, this powerful book from
transformational expert Marci Shimoff, now in paperback, shows
readers how to live happier and more open-hearted lives by
experiencing more unconditional love.
"The average British family spends just 34 minutes a day together during the week" "4 out of 10 women (over 12 million) feel that they are about to burn out" "70 million days are lost from work each year due to mental ill health in the form of anxiety, depression and stress related conditions". These are just some of the facts that are glaring at us and for some form a part of our day-to-day living. Each one of us will at some point in our life ask ourselves the pertinent question "why am I here or why was I born?" My greatest belief is that whichever way we look at life we were all born for a purpose and our purpose is to fine out. Our quest to find out or live out this purpose is what leads us to the purposeful life, which creates a Purposeful You. Purposeful You is a now message about living a life of intention and proactively doing things that give us a purposeful life. In its simplest form it shows us that purpose + intention = desired outcome. An outcome we can altogether influence by: 1. Creating meaningful work 2. Creating meaningful love 3. Practicing self care 4. Being present
