Book SynopsisNow, more than ever, we're burnt out, heartsick and overwhelmed by a world full of problems that seem too big to fix. The solution doesn't lie in caring less and switching off. Nor does it lie in caring more and throwing ourselves into further burnout. The radical solution is to learn how to care small. Tiny, even.Care: The radical art of taking time explores what it means to care in small, powerful ways-for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities-and reveals that caring doesn't need to cost us our wellbeing, happiness or connection to the world. That making simple changes to how we live-spending more time in nature, putting down our devices and connecting with each other face-to-face, finding awe and wonder in the world around us and remembering how to play-will have ripple effects that reach far beyond our own corner of the planet.With unwavering compassion and understanding, Brooke McAlary takes us on a journey to rediscover the small pleasures that create large ripples, reminding us that no one needs to shoulder the burden of doing it all by themselves-we only need to cast our eyes forward and start small, with care.

Book SynopsisIn hardback for the first time, this tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and brand-new tools to make the work your own. For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveller. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh and, on occasion, cry with you. And what's now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe. What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way. Brené writes, "This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, 'My story matters because I matter.' Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance."

Book Synopsis"Brian is one of the best at helping people create a world-class blueprint for their life - not just goals but sustainable success" Anthony Robbins Goal setting is a natural function of the brain. Every decision is in effect a goal, which triggers a subconscious process that transforms the decision into an action and onto a result. Becoming a master at goal setting is the first step in mastering life. Why are some people so much more successful than others? This was the burning question that inspired Brian Mayne to develop his unique Goal Mapping system. The Goal Mapping system fuses eastern and western techniques to create a holistic method to help achieve success. The system uses both left and right brain, bringing words, pictures and symbols together to connect the conscious to the sub-conscious, in a way that your subconscious accepts your goals as the dominant command to be pursued. The Goal Mapping system utilises 7 steps that stimulate whole brain activity to harness intrinsic aspects necessary for any kind of conscious, intended success. The system creates a personalised goal map, combining words and pictures that becomes your blueprint for future success.

"As a marketer, I have a career-long obsession with keeping things simple whether it’s a product, process or just the language we use in communications. I don’t think the financial services industry is any good at this which is why many people don’t think about their finances. A lack of financial education on the school curriculum adds to the problem. Pete Matthew has written the best “simple” guide to personal finance I’ve ever read. Not only will it help people of all ages understand and take control of their finances, I think it deserves to become a text book used in schools to give students a financial foundation for their future." --Roger Edwards, Marketing Consultant and host of the Marketing & Finance Podcast.
