David Michie thought he had achieved his life''s goals--the high-level job, the expensive city apartment, the luxury car, the great vacations--but a small voice was telling him he wasn''t really happy. A chance remark from a naturopath sent him to his local Buddhist center. There he began the most important journey of his life.

This book gives you the playbook for creating yours." --Naval Ravikant, cofounder and CEO, AngelList "I raised twice the amount of money I set out to in a mere five weeks. I'm naming my firstborn child after the Evans." --Slava Menn, cofounder and CEO, Fortified Bicycle HOW DO YOU LAUNCH THE VENTURE OF YOUR DREAMS? Get Backed isn't just about startup fundraising. It's a handbook for anyone who has an idea and needs to build relationships to get it off the ground.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Sensory Processing Solutions: Drug-Free Therapies
Book SynopsisA guide to help you find the right therapy program for your child. Every person—whether baby, child, teenager, or adult—interacts with the world in their own unique way. Yet some have a harder time than others due to a variety of sensory processing issues, which can lead to motor delays, learning differences, frustration, anxiety, emotional, behavioural, and social challenges, as well as diagnoses like ADHD and “autism spectrum.” As sensory integration expert Sally Fryer Dietz reveals, these children are not “broken.” We are all unique, some just need more options and new ways to approach the world in order to make better sense of it. Speaking from both her decades of professional experience as well as her own journey to help her oldest son, Dietz shares in-depth guidance to help you find the right therapeutic support for your child. Detailing common red flags at each developmental stage from infancy to grade school, she explains how children with sensory processing “glitches” are often misunderstood and put on medication rather than in therapies that can help them succeed naturally. Sharing how difficult it was to hear from her son’s teachers that he was having more challenges in school than his peers, she presents success stories from her family and from her sensory integration therapy clinic. She outlines therapies and treatments for body and mind that can help improve your child’s sensory motor development and function, such as sensory integration-based occupational, physical, and CranioSacral therapy. No matter where your child is on the spectrum of sensory motor integration, this guide showcases effective solutions beyond medication and can help you figure out what options are available to help children grow into happy and productive adults.Trade Review“Addresses sensory processing disorders in an interesting and easy-to-read format and provides sage advice and alternative solutions for both parents and professionals alike. A ‘must-read’ for anyone who has a child or cares for a child who is struggling with complex symptoms that have been given many diagnoses but no effective treatments.” * Susan Istre, PH.D., LPC-S, director of the Center for Social Success *“The sensory solutions outlined throughout the work of Sally Fryer Dietz truly make a difference! My husband and I have seen firsthand the impact her therapies have had on our 6-year-old son and would recommend these treatment modalities with our highest esteem to ANY and ALL parents. Easy-to-understand practical solutions are what you can expect with Sally Fryer Dietz, along with seeing growth in every measurable way possible!” * Elizabeth Wade Craft, LPC-A, CSC, licensed professional counselor associate and certified school cou *“Sally Fryer Dietz is a proven, beloved, integral healer for these disruptive times, working for y(our) precious children developing in y(our) super-mechanized culture—on behalf of growing human well-being in our transforming commonwealth. Sally’s integrative approach in working with children—combining sensory integration, craniosacral, and other therapies—is the magic bullet parents are looking for to help their children go beyond the limitations imposed by sensory processing disorders and other developmental glitches. My family and I have all benefited tremendously from the gift of Sally Fryer Dietz being in our lives.” * Woody Buckner, global leadership artist, scientist, public policy leader, and CEO of Buckner & Compa *“As a pediatric nurse practitioner of 26 years, I often refer patients to hospitals and therapy facilities that offer alternatives for treatment of patient issues.

Harvard Business Review Press The Microstress Effect: How Small Things Create
Book SynopsisHow a million little things are dragging you down, and what to do about it.There's a force we encounter every day that we aren't aware of—and it threatens to derail otherwise promising careers and lives: microstress.This hidden epidemic of small moments of stress has insidiously infiltrated both our work and our personal lives with invisible but devastating effects. Microstress doesn't trigger the normal stress response in our brains to help us deal with it. Instead, it embeds itself in our minds and accumulates daily, one microstress on top of the other. The long-term impact can be debilitating. Unregistered microstress weighs us down, damages our physical and emotional health, and contributes to a decline in our well-being. What's more, microstress is baked into our lives. The source is seldom a classic antagonist, such as a demanding client or a jerk boss. Instead, it comes from the people with whom we are closest: our friends, family, and colleagues.The good news is that once you understand microstress, you can fight back. Drawing on fresh research, Rob Cross and Karen Dillon explain the science behind the phenomenon. They also share the secrets of a small set of people who've endured their share of microstress but have still managed to cultivate relationships that enable them to thrive both at work and in life. Compelling interviews with these high achievers bring to life best practices that show you how to build resilience against microstress and ultimately how to find purpose—purpose that helps you break free from this quietly invasive force that's stealing your life.Trade ReviewAs seen in the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Quartz, Fast Company, and more.Named one of the "Best summer books of 2023" by the Financial Times"Through their research, which involved hundreds of interviews with high performers across a multitude of companies [Cross and Dillon offer] strategies to make small adjustments that reduce the impact of microstress—in particular, by strengthening connections with others." — Financial Times"The Microstress Effect is a great read for anyone, but especially for the person who wants to understand where their mental energy is going and how best to rebuild and protect it." — Porchlight Books"… Cross and Dillon bring a fresh perspective to navigating the small pressures of the day…" "This book empowers you to take back control of your life by eliminating microstresses and replacing them with micromoments of meaningful connections with others that will give you a rich, multidimensional life." — TD magazine (Association for Talent Development)"In the authors' words, 'to enjoy overall well-being, you must develop strategies not only to combat stress but also to help you live the life you want to live through resilience, physical health, and purpose.'
