    Book SynopsisAn illustrated collection of Gloria Steinem's most inspirational and outrageous quotes, with an introduction and essays by the feminist activist herself 'When the path is dark, Gloria's words light the way forward.' - Natalie Portman For decades, people around the world have found guidance, humour and unity in Gloria Steinem's gift for creating quotes that offer hope and inspire action. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, Steinem's words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Covering topics from relationships ('Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person.') to the patriarchy ('Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how the patriarchy is enforced every day.' ) and activism ('Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up.' ), this book will make you want to laugh, march and create quotes of your own. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely, a gift of hope from Steinem to readers, and a book to share with friends. 'Gloria has a profound knack for expressing ideas in ways that stick with you.' - Emma WatsonTrade Review'"Democracy is the tree, families are the roots." -GS. Trust Gloria Steinem to offer insights that liberate us into broader, more profound ways of thinking. Her mind is fertile, deep, conscious and inspiring, with a humour that apparently can't help bubbling up, so that we are laughing as we, hopefully, become more wise and determined to change whatever we can change.' -Alice Walker'Gloria has a profound knack for expressing ideas in ways that stick with you. When trying to explain something that I can't seem to wrap my own words around, I very often reach for one of Gloria's quotes. This beautiful book of her words will no doubt make one of the most quotable women I know even more eminently quotable.' -Emma Watson'This is a fearless book full of passion, resolute perspective and unbiased hope for the future. Gloria brings honest poetry to readers while sharing her experienced wisdom on topics that demand our attention today. From personal challenges to political issues, The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! explores the power of words when it comes to being a changemaker for yourself and for the good of humanity. And if that's not enough to move you, the beautiful illustrations will inspire you along the way.' -Janelle Monae'When the path is dark, Gloria's words light the way forward. I find myself returning again and again to her words for inspiration, comfort and wisdom. She has a way of saying things you feel you knew but never knew how to articulate. Other times, she expresses ideas you've never encountered, but once you've heard them, they are impossible to deny. Her words contain the poetic clarity only truth offers.' -Natalie PortmanTable of ContentsIntroduction: Poetry for Everyday LifeChapter One: Families Born and ChosenChanging AgingChapter Two: Work is Not a Four-Letter WordOutgrowing QuotesChapter Three: Among Co-conspirators and AdversariesChapter Four: In the StreetLaughing our Way to the Revolution

    Book SynopsisFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath comes a revolutionary guide to fixing what's not working in work and in our daily lives.Reset will help you get unstuck, shake off old habits, and overcome the inertia of the way things always work. Heath shares a framework, based on research in psychology and hundreds of interviews, to help you vault toward what really matters.Crucially, you can make positive changes without the need for additional time or money (which, for most of us, is not forthcoming). The secret is to find leverage points: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return.In Reset, you'll discover:- Why the middle of a change effort is often the hardest- How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities- Why your team's motivation is often squandered (and how to avoid that mistake)- The paradox that inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progressThe book traces not only how people transform their work but how they decide what to work toward. Their aspirations couldn't be more different. You'll visit fast-food managers who've crafted a freakishly effective drive-thru line. You'll meet a couples therapist who swears by a powerful, perception-shaping trick. And you'll encounter a veterinarian who hatched a plan that ultimately saved the lives of five million cats.Their aspirations differ, but their resolve is the same: to escape the stifling gravity of entrenched systems. To unlock forward momentum making steady progress toward our highest goals without the need for more resources. The same people, the same assets, but dramatically better results.Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

    Book SynopsisNeville Goddard, a well-known author and presenter in the New Thought movement, wrote the book At Your Command.

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisCharles Webster Leadbeater released a book titled Invisible Helpers. The book, written by notable Theosophical Society member Leadbeater, discusses the concept of helpers or spiritual creatures who support people in their everyday lives. There are two sections to the book. In the first section, numerous instances of individuals who have benefited from these unseen aid providers during trying circumstances, such as sickness or danger, are described. The nature of these assistance, their traits, and how to interact with them are covered in the book's second section. Leadbeater thinks that these helpers are often ex-humans who have died but are still able to aid the living. He also claims that anybody may develop communication skills with them via spiritual activities like meditation. People who are interested in spiritualism and esoteric concepts continue to study the book, which had an impact on the New Thought movement. It has, however, also drawn criticism for encouraging superstition and false beliefs.

    Book Synopsis'If Dolly Alderton, Glennon Doyle and Elizabeth Day had a love child, this is the writer they'd produce.' Laura Jane Williams, author and journalist.Stylist's Must Read Book for 2022 Evening Standard's Faces to Watch in 2022Shame is a monster that grows inside us. We all have the monster, it's what we decide to do with it that determines how we live our lives. This is my story... One day in the summer of 2008, I was sat on a train travelling back to London from a weekend of partying with friends when I received a phone call that suddenly changed everything. I was told my boyfriend Richard was in hospital. He died seven days later. I spent most of my twenties pretending this never happened. It has taken me a decade to be able to tell this story, just as it has taken me years to understand that there is no right way to grieve and no right way to live. In our twenties, we are thrown into the adult world without a guidebook. It's a decade that should be about adventure and discovery, so why does it feel catastrophic when we fail? How are we expected to have mastered our lives in such a short amount of time? Saying my shame out loud has made me feel more connected to people in my life. I hope that my story will make you feel less alone, too. It is only by sharing our stories that we can give a voice to the unspoken. Whatever pain you're holding on to, I'm writing this for you.'I wish I'd had this book to guide me into adulthood.' Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland and The Boy with the Topknot 'Will go a long way to helping those struggling with the stigma and shame that, sadly, persistently surrounds mental health.'
