Do you feel demotivated and aimless?
Are you running on empty?
Is it hard to pinpoint what's wrong?
Millions of us are struggling with this emotional state of weariness,
and until now, we've lacked the vocabulary to understand it. But Dr
Corey Keyes has identified this feeling as languishing, and here he
draws on the latest research and real-life case studies to trace its
spread to a level of global epidemic, asking the fundamental question
of how we find lasting wellbeing.
Breaking down the science of emotional exhaustion, Keyes shows that our
very obsession with happiness complicates the process of finding it.
Only by shifting our focus from feeling good to functioning well can we
unlock the key to flourishing. He reveals the choices and mental habits
that inadvertently worsen the problem, and shares simple but powerful
steps anyone can take to restore meaning, joy, and calm to their lives.
Languishing is a must-read for anyone tempted to downplay the
demotivation and emptiness they've been feeling, to help build a buffer
against the pressures of modern life and find true flourishing.

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.
Why is it that some people work hard, yet remain poor? How is it that others seem to rise out of poverty and become affluent in a short span of time? The answers are in this little book, which everyone should read at some point in their life. If they did, they would know how to become rich relatively quickly. If not, they might spend years working back-breakingly hard, without ever breaking even. That’s how powerful the principles contained in this book are.
The answers to escaping poverty and becoming wealthy are actually well known; they have been tested by time and replicated in different countries, by families and by individuals who have become astonishingly rich. And when you simply follow the principles, they work.
So what are these principles that genuinely lift people out of poverty and ensure their personal wealth? Here are 50. They all work. They will make you richer. They remove the emotion, the politics and the clutter from our thoughts about wealth, and they go straight to the heart of one simple issue: what it genuinely takes to become rich. Prepare to train your brain for wealth. Prepare to become ‘poverty proof ’ for life.
Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book: I Haven’t Been
Entirely Honest With You. I know – what an intriguing title!
Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade – there have
been surprising joys, but also deep revelations and challenging lows. I
shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult
times were my, what I call, treasures. Treasures – practical tools,
values, ways, answers researched from some great scientists,
neuroscientists, therapists, sociologists (all the ‘ists’) out there,
that have genuinely led to a sense of freedom, joy, peace and physical
recovery I never would have thought possible. Life now, amazingly, with
what I will share, is – SUCH FUN! (always important to quote your own
catch phrases. . .)
If you fancy having a read, then I hope my story might help your story.
After all, we are in this beautiful, mysterious, challenging life
together. Rest assured there are funny stories along the way – we will
have a laugh too, my dear reader chum. Oh, and I couldn’t possibly say
if there is a love story in it . . . (There is - shush) Exciting.
