Baker Publishing Group Until the Streetlights Come On – How a Return to
Book SynopsisIt may shock you to learn that we spend an average of 4-7 minutes outside each day--while we spend 4-7 hours using devices with screens. Needless to say, our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered. But there is a ready solution: get outside! A homeschooling mother of five and founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside. With a mom's heart and an educator's eye, Ginny shows you · the importance of unstructured play for children · what boredom actually contributes to our brains · the value of sunlight and social play · the role of play in lifelong learning · how to make time outside more attractive to your child than screentime · and much more If you want your kids to grow up curious, resilient, and with a sense of adventure and community, it's essential to make outside play a priority. This book shows you why and how. *** "Ginny didn't ask me to endorse this book. I asked her if I could because I'm such a big fan of her work. This is an important book today, but I believe it will be even more important tomorrow and next year. Why? Because it's going to get easier and easier to isolate inside as technology continues to give us avenues to hide from the great outdoors. What will you find in this book? An invitation to explore. An invitation to be brave. An invitation to be different. An invitation to answer that quiet voice in your heart that says, 'Could we go back outside?' You can. You should. You must! At least until the streetlights come on."--Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks

Little, Brown & Company Who Are You & What Have You Done with My Kid?:
Book SynopsisSo you have a Tween! What now? Dr. Amanda Craig knows what it's like to watch your child go from sweet elementary student to moody tween in the span of just a few years and she's here to help navigate you through it!How do we keep our kids close while cultivating the confidence they'll need to grow up? How do we navigate the inevitable dips, divides, and potholes? Where do we find the strength, self-awareness, and wisdom that amount to a path forward?Despite the parenting opportunities in the tween years, we often spend time focused on academics and the social concerns of elementary school then quickly pivot to worries about safety, drugs, sex and the rebellious behavioral issues of the teen years. We think we're connecting but we're not. We miss the neurological explosion that is taking place before us as tweens experience four significant changes that shake them (and us) to their core.- Their brains are changing.- They feel and experience emotions they do not recognize.- They're hyperaware of themselves.- They do not know how to express themselves.Most importantly, parents still have a "seat at the table" to make positive impressions on their tweens as they prepare them for the teenage years.

Nilgiri Press Conquest of Mind: Take Charge of Your Thoughts
Book SynopsisGetting caught in unwanted thoughts and emotions can feel like an inevitable part of life. But Eknath Easwaran, a world-famous spiritual teacher who taught meditation for nearly 40 years, shows a way to break free. Just as a fitness routine can result in a strong, supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality and a resilient, loving mind. Best of all, these opportunities to grow stronger spiritually arise not only during meditation but throughout the day. Whether working with difficult colleagues, going out to eat, or responding to a child's needs, readers learn how to try out different, wiser choices. With humor and empathy, Easwaran places timeless teachings from the Buddha and other mystics into contemporary scenes -- watching a juggler on the street, taking a tennis lesson, going to the theater. Training the mind is life's biggest adventure, and Conquest of Mind shows how this practice brings deepening relationships, increasing vitality, and a greater sense of purpose.Table of ContentsTable of ContentsIntroduction 7Part One: Taking Charge of Your Thoughts1 Thinking in Freedom 132 Living Skills 233 Training the Mind 374 Juggling 45Part Two: Reshaping Your Life5 Learning to Swim 616 All Life Is Yoga 677 Tremendous Trifles 778 The Forces of Life 87Part Three: Strategies from the Buddha9 Obstacles & Opportunities 10510 Strategies for Freedom 127Part Four: Three Spiritual Strengths11 Determination 15312 Detachment 16513 Discrimination 181Part Five An Eight-Point Program 209

A successful trial lawyer, she’s spent her entire adulthood competing, clock watching, and chasing the money while life slipped by unnoticed.

She offers an insider’s view of Big Law and questions corporate America’s relationship with wealth and excess.

And she discovers that the remedy is a long, hard road to travel.
