Book SynopsisYou didn't choose to live this life, in this body, in these conditions-this delicate and difficult life. Yet when you consider that your existence is fleeting, an inspired sense of urgency can spring forth. Say you often hike with a friend. One day, they propose that you skydive instead. You're wavering, and they insist:?Come?on. You only live once! And soon you're flying through the air. Why embrace a life you did not choose?In?This Beauty, philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These clichés are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather's watch because it is irreplaceable.Drawing on insights from aesthetics and his experiences as a professional skater and new father, he develops the thought that beauty-the beauty of this day, this body, this moment, these people-can make life worth embracing, worth engaging with and amplifying as beautiful. Insightful and deeply humane, This Beauty is a searching inquiry into the mystery of life's beauty and a call to create and share it.

Book SynopsisPapers addressing the role which human motivation plays in a wide range of specialties including clinical psychology, internal medicine, sports psychology, social psychology, and educational psychology. Over the past twenty years an increasing number of researchers from various universities have been investigating motivational issues underlying the self-regulation of behavior. Using either Self-Determination Theory or closely related theoretical perspectives, these researchers have performed laboratory experiments, as well as field studies in a variety of real-world settings, including education, work, parenting, health care, sport, and protection of the environment. In April 1999 thirty of these researchers convened at the University of Rochester to present their work, share ideas, and discuss future research directions. The Handbook of Self-Determination Research is an outgrowth of that important and fascinating conference. It summarizes the research programs of these social, personality, clinical, developmental, and applied psychologists who have a shared belief in the importance of self-determination for understanding basic motivational processes and for solving pressing real-world problems. Eighteen chapters, including an overview of self-determination theory, present the current state of the research in this scientifically rigorous, yet highly relevant, approach to studying motivational problems in various life domains. Researchers from eighteen universities in the United States, Canada, and Germany present concise and up-to-date accounts of their research programs concerned with the self-determination of human behavior. In these chapters, scholars also consider the relevance of the research on self-determination to other areas of inquiry such as coping, self-esteem, and interest. Edward L. Deci and Richard Ryan are professors of psychology in the University of Rochester's Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology.Table of ContentsAn Overview of Self-Determination Theory (co-authored with Edward L.

Trade Review“Finally, the business book we all need has been written by Mary Anne Radmacher. Her insight, wisdom and ability to get leaders to look within and reflect is invaluable. Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is another tool to share with my team and fellow CEOs as we navigate leadership and authenticity together. Her words create a common language and inspire thought leadership. I have shared Em’s writings near and far and often use them when it is my turn to facilitate my Monday morning CEO call. On a personal level, I start every day with a reflection of Em’s words that I keep close at hand. I find continuous reinforcement of her words and mantras that enrich and guide me. It is like visiting with a friend again and again and again when I read her pages. Em’s writing style creates the ability for the reader to open her work to any page and soak it in immediately.”—Christopher K. M. Leach, CEO “ ‘Courage doesn’t always roar...’ is one of Mary Anne Em Radmacher’s most recognized aphorisms. Courage Doesn’t Always Roar: Sometimes it Does is an invitation to explore how courage shows up in our everyday lives. It is a perfect daily inspiration book with each concept numbered and most fitting on a single page. Easy to pick up and read first thing each morning or in the ‘found moments’ of a busy day. The writing offers ideas that involve courage, broaden our understanding of ourselves and others, and create the potential for a more satisfying life. Each writing ends with a thought-provoking question to ponder in our days and ‘enCOURAGE’ us. A favorite of mine: ‘Of what might you dare to dream today?’ My answer ‘Even more now that I have read this book!’ ”—Caren Albers, author of Happiness Junkie and Married to a Vegan (memoirs) and Homecoming: Belonging and Knowing (poems & essays) “Learning from Mary Anne is the gift that keeps on giving. Like many people, my first exposure to Mary Anne was her famous quotation ‘Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.’ Mary Anne calls this a poem. I call it wisdom. Now, she has written this book about courage, the Preface of which says ‘Courage deserves a wider brushstroke of understanding.’ Not only am I still learning what this simple poem means, but in this book, Mary Anne continues to teach us all what else it means to be courageous. Over the years, I have collected Mary Anne’s artwork and posters about courage, as well as given them as gifts to others. Now, I will give this book of Mary Anne’s courageous wisdom to others as well.”—Arthur Bushkin, chairman of the Kindness Cloud Foundation“There are those humans among us who see deeply into life, with all its magic, uncertainty, pain and bliss. These are the seers, bound to feel things at a deeper level and with more insight, and finding and illuminating patterns for the rest of us. Mary Anne Em Radmacher is such a seer, using words and images and color to help all of us see more deeply, feel more strongly, and understand more fully our own responsibilities to be courageous, to own and explore our feelings but not let them trap us. Read this book for a master class in being fully and unapologetically human.”—Patti Digh, author of Life is a Verb and Geography of Loss“Reassuring. Engaging. Uplifting. Mary Anne has done it again! This book delightfully captures the essence of her informed wisdom, unique writing style, and quirky humor. Beyond the useful ideas that reliably address some of life‘s many conundrums, each chapter concludes with a question that invites reflection, direction, and action. Like courage itself, this book sometimes whispers...and at other times it roars. Get ready to listen and respond!”—Paul Wesselmann, the Ripples Guy (writer, speaker, adventurer)“Wise. Warm. Infused with strength easily inhaled. Once again the creative spirit of Mary Anne Radmacher is a gift to all who seek courage for both the hard things and the everyday. May readers find what they need in Courage Doesn’t Always Roar, a wisdom book carrying words to help each of us “try again tomorrow.”—Jane Kirkpatrick, NYTimes bestselling author of The Healing of Natalie Curtis”[This book] came to me at a perfect time. I’ve been feeling the universe nudge me towards a bigger vision in my professional life, and this was exactly what i needed to help give me a little more courage to consider taking the next step... Mary Anne’s expansion of her famous poem on courage is an excellent blueprint for navigating change with bravery and success. Step by step, this will lead you to find your life’s greatest potential. Her wisdom, along with advice from some of her greatest influences, creates a guide that normalizes the challenges of practicing courage, gives permission to make mistakes and, most importantly, teaches you how to never give up on becoming your best self. This is the book that you will read, and share with others, again and again.”— Grady Brown, sports coach in Little Rock, AR“Mary Anne’s Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is both career-changing and life-altering. It helps you have a deeper understating of courage—it isn’t just the loudest, biggest, or the first. Courage whispers and roars. It moves fast and knows when to slow down and be methodical. It pushes forward and knows when to turn back. Courage doesn’t always roar… but it is indeed intentional. Mary Anne’s daily inspirations will have you living, or leading, a more intentionally courageous life.”—Robbie Hanson, operations executive and culture consultant, Portland, OR“Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is not a book to be read from front to back and certainly not in one sitting. Each essay asks us to reflect, to question the way we handle and incorporate life’s twists and turns. Surprisingly, many of these essays can be applied to business—decision-making, finding clarity, handling obstacles, evaluating risk. Radmacher has a genius for honing in on the deceptively simple things that lead to consequential results. She clears away the over-complications and disorder of daily life and gently nudges us to examine what we do and why we do it. This collection will help you to see differently, to examine alternatives, and hopefully lead you to raise new questions that challenge the way you courageously navigate this world.”—Barbara Grassey, author and small business marketing strategist”Courage, of course, comes from the French word meaning ‘heart’—and this little book, which is titled from and expounds upon the author’s well-known quotation that courage can simply be the resolve to try again tomorrow—is a wonderful compendium of ideas for how exactly to do that. As its subtitle suggests, author Mary Anne Radmacher takes a wide view of what courage can be and why this quality is so important to cultivate now. Set up to provide daily morsels for inspiration, each of the book‘s 189 short essays ends with a reflection question to deepen your understanding of that day’s focus. Like all of the author’s books, Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is a work of heart—a thoughtful guide that will not only deepen your sense of the possibilities for demonstrating courage in your life, but also deepen your experience of life itself.”—Maggie Oman Shannon, author of Prayers for Healing, Crafting Calm, and Have Hope

Book SynopsisThe world is changing, and I am in the kitchen roasting carrots with olive oil, salt, and love. The silver kettle is just beginning to steam, and a glass vat of sage honey awaits the dip of my Grandma Lena’s long, golden spoon.” — Jules Blaine Davis The kitchens we grew up with set the template for how we nourish ourselves today. It is in the kitchen that we learn to create, feed, connect, grieve, taste, long, and love. Look at your relationship with your kitchen, and you uncover the unconscious recipe guiding your life. With The Kitchen Healer, Jules Blaine Davis invites women to find greater nourishment in body and soul by deepening their relationships with the hearth of the home, the kitchen. Though the book contains recipes — with ingredients both traditional and emotional — this is not a cookbook. This is a book about cooking up the life we deeply long to live. Davis believes that how we were or weren’t nourished in our childhood kitchens shapes every aspect of our lives today, and it is through the kitchen that we may find healing from the stress, trauma, guilt, and overwhelm that so many of us carry through our lives. Through heartfelt guidance and photographs that perfectly capture the love and chaos our kitchens contain, Davis shows us that by making the kitchen the centerpiece of our homes, we are nourished far beyond food and cooking.

It's permission to give yourself what you need, permission to create boundaries, permission to move through discomfort and ask for the support you crave, and permission to show up for your messy, beautiful life as your messy, beautiful self without apology or explanation." --Courtney Carver, author of Soulful Simplicity and Project 333 "This is not a self-help book. This is a call for you to step into your life, fully. A mix of science, anecdotes from her coaching life, and hard-earned wisdom, Mara invites every reader to redefine neediness and what is gained when we accept every part of our humanity. Needy, above all, makes room for imperfection, mess, and growth; it feels like a warm hug." --Meghan Leahy, parent coach, Washington Post columnist, author of Parenting Outside the Lines "This book feels like required reading for being human--both in partnership with yourself and others--in this world. Even if you've started the work of advocating for yourself, Needy can offer a guide and support. You will be grateful you made yourself a priority." --Cait Flanders, author of The Year of Less and Adventures in Opting Out "Needy is a game changer for all of us who have lived from the belief that our needs are Too Much and, thus, we are Too Much. Mara beautifully guides us to consider that disavowing our needs serves everyone in our lives other than us and illustrates the high cost of not owning what we want, need, and desire in life. This book is a must-read!" --Victoria Albina, NP, MPH "Let me be clear: Needy is a book that will be supportive to you in deeply sustainable ways. It is permission for so many of us high-functioning, recovering people pleasers to drop our swords and choose to live life a different way. This will be a book you want to give to all your friends and follow up with discussion over a cup of tea." --Becca Piastrelli, author of Root & Ritual "Needy is the book for anyone who has believed they are too much and not enough at the exact same time. Needy redefines self-care in a way that feels recognizable, approachable, and most of all, achievable. Mara Glatzel will instantly change the way you think about yourself, your needs, and your worth." --Melissa Urban, New York Times bestselling author of The Whole30 and The Book of Boundaries "Needy gives us permission to claim our needs, honor our desires, and care for ourselves in real, meaningful, life-altering ways. With deep personal shares, powerful teachings, soft reminders, and prompts to engage, Needy is a mirror of what we deserve, what's available to us, and how we can get there with as much self-nurturance as possible." --Lisa Olivera, author of Already Enough "As an Indigenous woman, navigating the complexities of a colonial system, this book is revolutionary for myself and the vision I hold for the generations to come. Needy is a beautiful invitation to unwind from what we've been told and begin to embrace what our hearts and bodies are longing for. It is much needed medicine for these times." --Asha Frost, Indigenous medicine woman, author of You Are the Medicine "Needy is the invitation and permission slip you need to stop abandoning yourself and your life right now. In a compassionate but direct way, Mara Glatzel shows us the dangers of denying our humanity, how we can reclaim it, and the peace and joy that there is on the other side." --Laura McKowen, author of We Are the Luckiest

Book SynopsisThis book will teach you how to use word power rather than willpower to increase your motivation and overcome your struggles with eating and body care. It explains how self-talk ties thought to action or inaction and how what we say to ourselves is shaped—for better or worse—by our families, culture and personal history. It illustrates how unconscious, unhealthy self-talk leads to poor decision-making around eating, fitness and general self-care and how conscious, healthy self-talk promotes a positive relationship with food, body and mind.Words to Eat By details key elements of constructive, smart self-talk. You’ll learn how to distinguish trash thoughts from treasure thoughts, why external motivators don’t work long-term, and which internal motivators will fast track you to success. It includes hundreds of examples of exactly what to say and not say to yourself in challenging food situations—eating alone, with family, friends, dates and mates, at parties, restaurants and buffets—and how to get and keep your body moving. Reflective questions help you zero in on which self-talk you want to change, while case studies illustrate how other troubled eaters have transformed their self-talk and their lives.Written by a national expert, award-winning, international author and seasoned clinician who is also half-a-lifetime recovered from weight-loss dieting and binge-eating, this book introduces you to the nitty gritty of your eating and self-care problems and teaches you how to speak to yourself with the love, compassion, encouragement and hope needed to jump start or sustain your recovery.Trade Review“Words to Eat By is transformative! It guides the reader toward conscious and compassionate self-talk, on a journey toward trusting their wise inner voice, rather than the internalized voice of diet culture. The result—a positive and happy relationship with food and body.” –Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, CEDRD-S, FAND, Co-author of Intuitive Eating and The Intuitive Eating Workbook, Author of The Intuitive Eating Workbook for Teens and The Intuitive Eating Journal—Your Guided Journey for Nourishing a Healthy Relationship with Food "Words to Eat By helps us illuminate all of the ways that we harm ourselves with our thoughts and then gently guides us to transform those thoughts into caring, compassionate words of wisdom and guidance. The ultimate guide to self-talk that creates peace with your food and your body." —Lynn Rossy, Ph.D., Author of The Mindfulness-Based Eating Solution and Savor Every Bite: Mindful Ways to Eat, Love Your Body, and Live with Joy “Karen Koenig’s Words to Eat By is a compassionate, straight-talking, and quietly inspirational guide to understanding how a person at any age can, via coaching and practice, learn, to eat, move, think, feel, and be in ways that embody mindfulness, self-caring, self-nourishment, and reasonable health. If you are willing to accept even the possibility of an upward spiral of constructive, nourishing, realistic self-talk—followed by self-compassion and pride in one’s progress as eating and self-caring become healthier—followed by energy, hope, and commitment, then Words to Eat By offers the authoritative wisdom and specific guidelines you can immediately put into practice.” —Michael P. Levine, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Kenyon College; Fellow, Academy for Eating Disorders

Book SynopsisMany of us have a tendency to measure our self-worth by comparing ourselves to others. But when we fail to reach our own, families, communities or societies 'ideals' this often results in feelings of inadequacy, anxiety and low mood. We may become self-critical, experience shame and a sense of being different from others. Although an improvement in 'self-esteem' is what we may feel we want this is not necessarily what we need. This is because self-esteem is often associated with times when things are going well but can fail us when things do not go to plan. In contrast self-confidence, built from self-compassion, can help us when things are going well and make us more resilient when things are difficult.This book uses the ideas and practices of Compassion Focused Therapy to help build self-confidence. Attention is also paid to difficulties that often come hand in hand with lack of self-confidence such as anxiety, depression, substance use and anger.Trade ReviewA ground-breaking, helpful and insightful guide to improving self-confidence * Professor Paul Gilbert, author of The Compassionate Mind *
