Assertiveness and motivation Books

Book SynopsisDeVon Franklin, New York Times bestselling author of The Wait and prominent Hollywood producer, reveals that secular and spiritual success are not opposites. To have one, you need the other.Are you tired of living a life paralyzed by fear? Are you anxious to break free of the “beware mentality” that has kept generations of well-meaning people living beneath the fullness of their calling?You’re unfulfilled because you’ve been convinced that you would lose your faith if you pursued the secular ambitions God has put in your heart. However, until you pursue those ambitions you will miss out on the fullness of God and the success you were created to have.For too long there’s been a line drawn between the spiritual and the secular, and we have been conditioned to believe that if we cross this line in either direction, we will have gone too far. It’s time to brea

Book SynopsisA delightfully illustrated guide to harnessing the rhythms of nature for self-care.We could all learn a thing or two about living in balance from our friends in the plant and animal kingdom. Take, for example, the jellyfish, one of the most energy-efficient animals in the world, moving through the ocean by contracting and relaxing, with frequent breaks in between. Or the avocado tree, which can credit its existence to a mutually beneficial relationship with the pre-historic sloth, followed by some hungry, hungry humans and the advent of agriculture. And then there is the oyster, producing a pearl as the result of an immune response when a grain of sand invades her system. What better example exists of how adversity can produce something beautiful?We need look no farther than nature—from the habits of the porcupine to the sunflower to the wombat to the dragonfly—for small and simple things we can do to slow down, rechTrade Review"Shah's humor is infectious, and her breezy approach makes learning from shrimp, sloths, spiders, and wombats, among many others, unexpectedly rewardigng." — Publishers Weekly

Book SynopsisDiscover practical tips and stories of strength in "Brighter Days" to invest in your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health for a brighter future. For readers of Katie Piper OBE and Matt Haig.Trade Review'Having known Patrick when he was a rising star of the charity world, it is sobering to now read how he felt during that time. I would never have guessed. It makes me wonder how many other people I know who appear to be on top of their game are really silently suffering in the same way. I hope this book will help others in the same situation step forward to ask for help in time and help those around them to find right way to help. It is honest, authentic and very practical.' -- Nick Jenkins, founder of Moonpig, former Dragons' Den 'dragon' and Chairman of Virtual Stock'To keep mentally healthy is essential if we are to live life to the full. No book can provide all the answers, but it can provide us with a guide to keeping mentally well. This book may help you more than you realise.' -- Sir Terry Waite CBE'Personal, practical and professional - this readable book demonstrates ways for us all to take positive actions to reach and sustain brighter days for our wellbeing and resilience.' -- Professor Helen Langton, Vice Chancellor of the University of Suffolk'Brighter Days epitomises Patrick's ability to be both authentic and hopeful at the same time. We have been friends for years, and I have seen at first hand his compassion and his desire to help people to heal. This book welcomes you on a partnered journey to greater awareness and to lasting change.' -- Will van der Hart, priest, coach, communicator and Co-Director of The Mind and Soul Foundation'Patrick's book is so accessible, moving and utterly relatable. It questions our understanding of key words and responses, like anger, anxiety, resilience, perfectionism and positive vibes, plus it offers practical advice and exercises to help guide us through our own experiences of the unpredictable state of our mental health. Brighter Days could become a Bible to navigate through all of the twenty-first century’s challenges.' -- Nina Hossain, newscaster, ITV News'Post-Covid, at a time when so many of us are struggling to establish a "new normal", Brighter Days is a cordial for drooping spirits, and an honest, road-tested guide to more hopeful living.' -- Lord Richard Chartres'Readable, practical, wise and kind. This is a book for our times.' -- John Sutherland, author and former Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police'Patrick's writing couldn't be more timely in a world where what things look like in a picture or a post determines who we are, and how we are feeling. Brighter Days stands up to that trend of curating an image, wearing a mask and doing everything you can to show that you're holding it together. It's personally helped me start to be more courageous - not like a soldier on a battlefield or a boxer in the ring, but, as Patrick explains, with the courageousness of a person who allows himself to be vulnerable. That message of vulnerability, honesty and self-acceptance is relevant to all of us, and this book will ultimately make you a more content, happier person. It shows us all that whatever our situation, brighter days are possible.' -- Sean Fletcher, journalist and BBC presenter'Patrick reaches to the core of our humanity in a way that few others do. He is articulate, involved and persuasive on some of the key issues which we, as individuals, as professionals, and as a society, face today. Be prepared to be inspired to be better.' -- Gerald Walker, President and CEO, ING Americas'Patrick has presented a range of mental health issues with sensitivity, deep personal experience and warm compassion, allowing the reader to feel seen and understood in our journey to brighter days. He arms us with realistic, practical and achievable strategies to facilitate the reconnection to self, community and faith. I will not hesitate in my recommendation of this book to clients.' -- Dr Donna de Lasa, HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and ISST-certified Schema Therapist'Honest, vulnerable and practical. This is how we all need to be around mental health, and Patrick's book will help us to get there. It's brave and courageous.' -- Dr Charlie Howard, Consultant Clinical Psychologist'As a therapist, I often wonder how many of my patients could have had a different journey if their early experiences of mental ill health had been met with support, compassion and understanding. While there are no quick fixes to the stigma and shame which surround mental illness, the Brighter Days book is a helpful, friendly and accessible step towards a world where emotional and mental health are understood and accepted.' -- Clarie Miles, High-Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, NHS Talking Therapies'As a GP, I have repeatedly noted the value of helping my patients understand the nature of mental illness. Patrick's book is a masterclass on that. I often see mental health as an incredibly complex muddle of very different jigsaw pieces. As you read Patrick's book, you'll begin to see how the picture of clear emotional wellbeing can emerge, in his words: "beauty from brokenness", "vulnerability is not a weakness" and "floating with anxiety". Following my own mental health crisis in 2012, a friend visited and commented that he didn't know what to say, but simply offered to be there. What a gift that was; better than words. Patrick's book will help you to help others... I love it. Please give a copy to a friend.' -- Dr Tim Lyttle, GP and NHS leader, Shropshire

Book SynopsisA psychologist confronts our pervasive misunderstanding of anxiety and presents a powerful new framework for reimagining and reclaiming the confounding emotion as the advantage it evolved to be.We are taught that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books, and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay.That''s because the anxiety-as-disease story is false - and it''s harming us.In this radical reinterpretation, Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary distils the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, combined with real-world stories and personal narrative, to argue that the discomfort of anxiety is a tool, rather than something to be stamped out at all costs. Detailing the terrible cost of our misunderstanding of anxiety, while celebrating the lives of people who harness it to their advantage, FUTURE TENSE rTrade ReviewIf you're feeling more anxious than usual and, on top of that, feeling anxious about feeling anxious, then this book is for you. Anxiety, it turns out, is a feature, not a bug, of human nature. In FUTURE TENSE, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary offers a much-needed guide - based on years of scientific research and her personal clinical experience - to the emotion that is in some ways most easily misunderstood and, therefore, most undervalued. Clear, practical, and incredibly readable -- Angela DuckworthThis book is going to smash your existing views about anxiety - and replace them with more helpful ones. As an expert on the neuroscience of emotion, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary has delivered the riveting read we all need to help us learn to worry well instead of worrying less -- Adam GrantA powerful and deeply informed new voice in the important conversation around anxiety and its causes and effects. FUTURE TENSE offers knowledge, empathy, and clarity in these times when chronic emotional pain has been normalized. Framing how anxiety works in our favor is a revolutionizing shift in perspective -- Alanis MorissetteReading FUTURE TENSE is an epiphany; it will turn your understanding of anxiety on its head, and point you to new paths forward. It offers a long-overdue challenge to the medicalization and numbing of anxiety. Instead, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary encourages us to consider how to live and grow with anxiety, and find creativity in dealing with life's fundamental uncertainties. A wide conversation around this book is urgently needed for our anxious times -- Dacher Keltner, professor at UC Berkeley, author of AWE: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform Your LifeFUTURE TENSE teaches us - with incredible research and great storytelling - that counter to everything we've thought and been taught, anxiety, when understood and used wisely, is one of the most valuable emotions to help us achieve our dreams. If you're prone to anxiety like me or live or work with people who are anxious, this is a must read! -- Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and bestselling author of PERMISSION TO FEELFUTURE TENSE is groundbreaking. Filled with wisdom, compassion, and humor, it shatters our long-held assumptions and sets the stage for a new, hopeful way of understanding how to live - and thrive - with anxiety -- Reshma Saujani, CEO of the Marshall Plan for Moms and founder of Girls Who CodeOur minds classify anxiety as 'bad', but that very idea keeps anxiety from delivering its often useful messages about what's ahead. It's time for the whole culture to learn how to use anxiety when it's helpful and let it go when it's not, but that starts with learning what it is and how to feel it. This wise and well-written book will help. Highly recommended -- Steven C. Hayes, originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and author of A LIBERATED MIND

Book Synopsis''A new life, a new chance, now awaits you. You only have to reach out and take it. But remember: you yourself must do the reaching. '' Everyone who has ever asked themselves ''Is this all there is?'' will draw inspiration from The Five Stages of the Soul. In midlife many of us, regardless of our worldly success, feel that life is not giving us what we want. But when we come to analyse what it is that we do want, we are not sure. The confidence and idealism that carried us through the first half of our lives often gives way to emptiness and confusion as we get older. This is the first book to explore the specific stages of spiritual awakening that we go through as we age - from midlife crisis and the search for inner purpose - to the true happiness and fulfilment that can be achieved once we find the path to spiritual wholeness. Based on extensive research from a leading teacher in the field of aging, this thought provoking book relates the spiritual experiences and lessons of numerous

Book SynopsisThe number one bestseller in France and Italy, from Françoise Héritier, The Sweetness of Life is a beautiful and poetic list of the everyday reasons that make life worth livingIf you assume an average life expectancy of 85 years, and deduct the hours we spend daily on sleeping, shopping, eating, working, tending to our relationships and on everything else that is obligatory, then how much time is left for the average person to enjoy those activities that are the sweetness of life? For Françoise Héritier, it is those activities, those moments that make up pure sensuality, the actual experience of humanity. These are the moments we all cherish: wild laughter, coffee in the sun, the bliss of fresh autumn evenings, running in warm rain, long conversations at twilight, kisses on the back of the neck, the moment when all nature falls silent, those times when you know that someone likes you, is looking at you and listening to you, cooking a complicated dish, feeling agile anTrade ReviewA series of perceptions, sensations, eddies, and happiness of writing that gives a real intensity to the existence . . . a true wonder -- Laure Adler

Book SynopsisAs a trained body worker, Emily Francis offers a refreshing perspective into healing trauma. She reveals unique knowledge of the body as a holder for memory. Emily will lead you on a path deep within yourself to rearrange the ways that pain and trauma have been holding you back from whole body, mind, spirit, and energy healing. You will rearrange the dialogue within your body memory systems as well as learn a practice to re-birth by healing your inner child and adolescent selves, coming into the present to create the best adult self possible. This groundbreaking interactive book contains a journal and access to audio meditations for you to listen to as you read. The meditations will help you dig deep into past trauma and discover when and how trauma took root. Learn to get in touch with various parts of the physical and energy body, and how to use them to let go of stored traumas and rediscover the deeply held joys that have also been stored within the body. From this, you will learn to live from a new mindful and powerful space.Trade Review"Emily Francis' book says it all. I had to learn as a surgeon about the power of the mind and how the body believes what the mind conceives. Also the truth is that we truly heal ourselves. When people have an unexpected recovery doctors call it a spontaneous remission, but as Emily reveals, it is not spontaneous but rather self-induced. We all have the potential to achieve healing with the correct coaching and our showing up for practice. Read this excellent healing manual and begin the process of becoming whole and complete." --Bernie Siegel, MD author of Love, Medicine & Miracles, No Endings Only Beginnings, and When You Realize How Perfect Everything Is“Placing the tools and strategies for self-healing directly in readers’ hands, Emily offers clear, experiential wisdom honed from years of personal work and study. As a yoga therapist, I often look for resources that will empower my clients and I will be recommending this, my favorite of all her books! This universally applicable volume of healing protocols will take any who use it into optimal wellbeing.” --Jennie Lee, author of Spark Change, True Yoga, and Breathing Love“There’s no question: the health of our body is intricately connected to our emotional self. In order for true healing to occur, we must focus on our physical and emotional wellbeing. In Healing Ourselves Whole, Emily Francis connects the dots between thoughts and feelings—particularly the most deep-seated ones—and the body's physical response. This heartfelt book is a must-read for anyone struggling to free themselves from years of negative emotions so that happiness, joy, and health can become a daily truth. Emily holds your hand like a trusted friend throughout the process, encouraging you to journal, meditate, and go deep into yourself to release the emotional chains once and for all and to achieve healing on its deepest level.” -- Dr. Debbie Palmer, author Mindful Beauty “Healing Ourselves Whole takes you beyond the symptoms into the root cause of physical and emotional imbalances. It is a perfect blend of Eastern and Western ideas spun into tangible steps so that readers can feel held, supported, and empowered by the process. This book is ideal for professionals and individuals looking to tap into the wisdom of their own bodies. It serves as an incredible resource for healing and feeling whole again.” --Sherianna Boyle, author of Emotional Detox for Anxiety“Much like the jocular sage of Tibetan Buddhism, Emily disguises profound wisdom in a light-hearted tour of her own experiences as a bodyworker and healer. Yet, this is a book for the ages and, perhaps, for the sages too. In it are all the tools of the greatest healers: the wisdom of cause and effect, the magic of therapeutic metaphor, the curative intent of the most powerful shaman. Emily brings to conscious expression both the causes and the cure and carries us along with her. Hers is an exquisitely sensitive prescription for a process of helping and healing that eventuates in a whole, happy and self-determining human being." --Steve Bierman M.D., author of HEALING – Beyond Pills & Potions“Emily A. Francis has written an extraordinary book to help us heal from the inside out.” -- Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino, CEO of The Best Ever You Network and best-selling author“It is difficult to effectively communicate ephemeral, experiential knowledge to facilitate deep, lasting healing through the printed word, but Emily Francis has succeeded. In her inspiring book, she shares the culmination of her life’s work (thus far) so we can become liberated through her unique tracking system that then becomes ours forever. There were so many singular elements I could highlight that illuminated stuck points including trusting the body’s ability to simply be healthy, visualizing the relationship between guilt and shame as playing out an abuse cycle, cutting the cords, joy as the fountain of youth, and so much more. Under her powerful guidance you become fluent in the language of your body, so you deeply know who you joyfully and healthfully are. Thank you, Emily Francis, for this gift." --Bridgit Dengel Gaspard, LCSW, author of The Final 8th: Enlist Your Inner Selves to Accomplish Your Goals"Emily Francis takes a deep dive into the sinew of emotional pain and gets to the visceral origin of emotional toxicity with a universal language to heal our broken, misaligned bodies. Years of toxic emotional pain that have built up and crippled our ability to function optimally are given an equally powerful blow of transformative recovery through specific techniques and exercises that Emily guides you through. How we process the traumas of life determines our overall wellness; this book will help you undo what has perhaps been the cause of your chronic physical or mental pain. Kudos to Emily Francis for this juggernaut of self-healing.” --Roberto Tostado M.D, author of WTF is Wrong with Our Health: A Rebel Physician's Manifesto for Reversing Disease and Increasing Smiles"Between journaling, audio meditations, and supporting science, Healing Ourselves Whole offers a fine opportunity for identifying poisons to body and soul and how to heal from them. It's a self-help workbook recommended for new age and health-oriented readers who would use the power of meditation and healing to foster their own revised, positive paths to complete body and mental health." * Midwest Book Review *

In Every Body Yoga, Jessamyn makes this abundantly, imperatively, and refreshingly clear.” —Kathryn Budig, author of Aim True and The Big Book of Yoga “Every Body Yoga reminds us of what the ancient yogis knew: That you are worthy and capable of starting yoga NOW. You need no special qualification to begin. You are ready! Jessamyn’s honesty and vulnerability as a storyteller sweeps you up into the wonders of yoga and the curious way this practice is truly different for each person who is brave enough to enter its doors.” —Amy Ippoliti, yoga teacher, author, and earth activist “Jessamyn inspires not only me but everyone she reaches with her message: that yoga truly is for everyone. For so long we've been shown a certain type of "yoga body" and it's just not a reality--Jessamyn is proof---thank goodness!! I'm so grateful for her work.” —Tess Holliday, model and founder of #EffYourBeautyStandars "Jessamyn takes a practice that can intimidate some and alienate others…and makes it accessible, inclusive and extraordinary." —Jes Baker, author of Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls "Every Body Yoga is an honest and empowering book that shatters paralyzing stereotypes … What a liberating call to experience yoga just as you are!" —Susan Moses, celebrity stylist and author of The Guide to Dressing Curves
