We want to obsess less and be less lonely, free ourselves from our demons, compulsive habits, and stress. But as humans (unlike rocks) we experience all of these. And paradoxically, trying to avoid and control them only makes things worse.Having struggled with serious mental illness for many years himself, Mark Freeman has become a dedicated mental-health advocate and coach. He makes the case that instead of trying to feel less and avoid pain and stress, we need to build emotional fitness, especially our capacity for strength, balance and focus.

Book SynopsisWhat would it mean to discover that everything from the DNA of life, to the future of our world, is based upon a simple Reality Code—one that we can change and upgrade by choice? New revelations in physics and biology suggest that we’re about to find out!A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that our universe works like a Consciousness Computer. Rather than the number codes of typical software, our Consciousness Computer uses a language that we all have, yet are only beginning to understand. Life’s reality code is based in the language of human emotion and focused belief. Knowing that belief is our reality-maker, the way we think of ourselves and our world is now more important than ever!For us to change the beliefs that have led to war, disease, and the failed careers and relationships of our past we need a reason to see things differently. Our ancestors used miracles to change what they believed. Today we use science.

Pan Macmillan Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better Than Your Mess
Book SynopsisFinally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those who'd describe their current living situation as a 'f*cking mess' that you 'really need to get around to fixing one day'.Rachel Hoffman began Unf*ck Your Habitat as a Tumblr blog using daily, weekly, and mini challenges to motivate the lazy to get up and start cleaning. She launched Unf*ck Your Habitat in book form, for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems. The ones that so often ignore single people; people without kids; students; people with pets or roommates; those with full-time jobs; and people with mental illnesses, chronic illnesses, and physical limitations.Most organizational books are aimed at devoted homemakers, DIY-ers, and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins that match our table runners, and can keep plants alive for longer than a week.Basically, they ignore most of us living here in the real world.Interspersed with lists, challenges and other how-tos, this no-nonsense advice relies on UfYH's 20/10 system (20 minutes of cleaning followed by a 10-minute break; no marathon cleaning allowed) in order to help you develop lifelong habits. It's designed to encourage the reader to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections, so they can actually start applying the tactics as they progress. For everyone stuck between The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Adulting, this philosophy is decidedly more realistic than aspirational, but the goal is the same: not everyone will have a showcase of a home, but whatever your habitat, you deserve for it to bring you happiness, not stress.Trade ReviewA must-read for people who are terrified by Marie Kondo but intrigued by being able to see their floors again -- Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Little BrotherUnf*ck Your Habitat has the potential to change your life and improve your mental outlook in truly beautiful ways. This book is important and a good, good thing to have in the world -- Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day JobsI will forever sing the praises of Rachel Hoffman’s unfussy, no-bullsh*t advice—most of it is as applicable to How You Think as How You Clean -- Kelly Sue DeConnick, author of Bitch PlanetTable of ContentsChapter - 1: Getting Started Chapter - 2: Unfucking Your Own Habitat Chapter - 3: Troubleshooting: Dealing With Other People in Your Fucked-Up Space Chapter - 4: Special Cases Chapter - 5: Conclusion Acknowledgements - 6: Acknowledgements Index - 7: Index

Rocky Mountain Books Buried — Updated Edition
Book SynopsisAn unparalleled memoir that grapples with the complex relationships that exist within the mountaineering community. On 20 January 2003, at 10:45 a.m., a massive avalanche released from Tumbledown Mountain in the Selkirk Range of British Columbia. Tonnes of snow carried 13 members of two guided backcountry skiing groups down the 37-degree incline of a run called La Traviata and buried them. After a frantic hour of digging by remaining group members, an unthinkable outcome became reality. Seven people were dead. The tragedy made international news, splashing photos of the seven dead Canadian and us skiers on television screens and the pages of newspapers. The official analysis did not specifically note guide error as a contributing factor in the accident. This interpretation has been insufficient for some of the victims families, the public, and some members of the guiding community. Buried is the assistant guides story. It renders an answerable truth about what happened by delving deep into the human factors that played into putting people in harms way.

Beyond Words Publishing The Abundance Project: 40 Days to More Wealth,
Book SynopsisFrom the author of the acclaimed book Emergence comes a guide to design and create abundance in any area of life, including money, time, love, creativity, and more. “In The Abundance Project, you will find a simple and fun step-by-step way to release your fear and baggage…and begin living the life you were born for” (Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason). The Abundance Project is about having more than enough in every area of your life—more than enough money, time, love, creativity, and happiness—regardless of the circumstances you’ve been through or are currently facing. This may sound like wishful thinking, but once you understand what you’re really made of, and what the source of real abundance is, you will increase your capacity and unleash your divine inheritance. Built on universal, proven principles, The Abundance Project breaks you out of the unsustainable buying/consuming loop created by the mindset that fulfillment comes from outside ourselves. Derek Rydall teaches the laws of giving and circulation that will release the channels of abundance-creating energy in your life through his Seven Gifts that Give You Everything; he will help you identify Abundance Blindspots and Shadows that get in the way; and he walks you through the step-by-step Abundance Blueprint so you can design and master the life you’ve envisioned. The Abundance Project “challenges us to open up to a fresh worldview where we can work from our true nature: whole, abundant” (Lindsay Crouse, Oscar-nominated actress).

Penguin Putnam Inc The Journey from Abandonment to Healing Revised
Book SynopsisThe fear of abandonment is one of our most primal fears, and deservedly so. Its pain is often overwhelming, and can leave its mark on the rest of your life. In the midst of the hurt, it’s hard to see an end to your feelings of rejection, shame, and betrayal. In this updated edition of the groundbreaking book, Susan Anderson, a therapist who has specialized in helping people with loss, heartbreak, and abandonment for more than thirty years, shares recent discoveries in neuroscience that help put your pain in perspective. It is designed to help all victims of emotional breakups—whether you are suffering from a recent loss, or a lingering wound from the past; whether you are caught up in patterns that sabotage your own relationships, or you’re in a relationship in which you no longer feel loved. From the first stunning blow to starting over, it provides a complete program for abandonment recovery. Going beyond comforting words to promote real change, this healing process will help you work through the five universal stages of abandonment—shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, lifting—by understanding their biochemical and behavioral origins and implications. New hands-on exercises for improving your life will teach you how to manage the inevitable pain, then go on to build a whole new concept of self, increase your capacity for love, and find new love on a deeper and richer level than ever before.

Book SynopsisA revised and updated edition of the international bestsellerInspiring readers all over the globe to reimagine their future, this revised and updated edition of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 features new material to complement the classic text. Major life transitions such as leaving the protected environment of school or starting a new career can be daunting. It is scary to face a wall of choices, knowing that no one is going to tell us if we make the right decision. There is no clearly delineated path or recipe for success. Even figuring out how and where to start can be a challenge.As head of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig’s job is to guide her students as they make the difficult transition from the academic environment to the professional world—providing tangible skills and insights that will last a lifetime. Seelig is a wildly popular and award-winning teacher and in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 she shares with us what she offers her students -provocative stories, inspiring advice, and a big dose of humility and humor. These pages are filled with captivating examples, from the classroom to the boardroom, of individuals defying expectations, challenging assumptions, and achieving unprecedented success. Seelig throws out the old rules and provides a new model for reaching our potential. We discover how to have a healthy disregard for the impossible; how to recover from failure; and how most problems are remarkable opportunities in disguise. What I Wish I Knew When I Was Twenty is a much-needed book for everyone looking to make their mark in the world.Trade Review“Tina Seelig is one of the most creative and inspiring teachers at Stanford. Her book ought to be required reading. I wish I had read it when I was 20... and again at 50.” — Robert Sutton, Stanford University Professor and author The No-Asshole Rule “Anybody who wants to live an entrepreneurial life filled with purpose and passion needs to read this book. It’s chockfull of practical tools and tips to bring out the best in each of us.” — Steve Case, Chairman of Revolution and The Case Foundation, and co-founder of AOL “Forget 20--This is the kind of stuff I wish I knew now... Tina is doing us all a big favor by giving us a roadmap to life!” — Guy Kawasaki, co-founder of Alltop and author of Reality Check “Tina is the most inspirational creativity voice I know.

The principles in her book will surely spark new ideas. It is a must-read for the next generation of entrepreneurs and seasoned veterans alike.” — David Kelley, Founder IDEO “Wise, witty and packed with stories of those who are making a difference and some who are making a fortune...The only trouble is that you will need two dozen copies to give to everyone.” — Patricia Ryan Madson, author of Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up “This is a great guide to moving in more exciting, creative, and fulfilling directions, written by a person who is an expert at doing so. But if Tina Seelig had known any more when she was 20, the world probably could not now contain her. “ — Jim Adams, Author, Conceptual Blockbusting “Seelig is a sharp observer and a gentle and thoughtful writer. Recollections of her own circuitous career path, along with observations of behavior of friends, family, students and colleagues are fertile ground for her. — Miami Herald “True, it’s written by a woman (a Stanford University professor, no less), but this ‘crash course in making your way in the world’ is full of realistic tips that help put things into perspective.” — Sacramento Bee “It’s almost impossible to read the first line of Tina Seelig’s book and not grab pen and paper to jot down a river of pent-up ideas and possibilities . . . A galvanizing document, [it] gives us -- more than anything else -- permission to develop our dreams.” — Santa Cruz Sentinel

New Harbinger Publications Writing to Awaken: A Journey of Truth,
Book SynopsisWriting to Awaken is an inspirational investigation of the self through expressive writing, guiding you along the path of awakening through radical truth-telling and self-inquiry. With targeted and revelatory questions, you'll be prompted to explore your own personal narrative-to write honestly about your deepest wounds, greatest challenges, hidden gifts, yearnings, and opportunities for growth-in order to discover a deeply authentic understanding of yourself and move toward a more liberated, truthful life.We each have our own story, a personal myth constructed from the content life presents us: we connect dots to shape the narrative, devise plotlines from circumstance, change characters, fashion conflicts, and adjust structure, settings, and themes as our lives unfold. But so often, over time, we come to believe that we are our story, identifying so strongly with the tales we've told ourselves and others that we cling to them for our very existence-even when they don't quite fit. The realization that there's a discrepancy between the narrative you've crafted and your authentic self can be disconcerting at first, but the exploration of that gap is a doorway to personal freedom, and this book will lead you through it.The writing exercises in this guide, one for nearly every week of the year, ask you to tell the whole truth about your experience. In doing so, you'll come to realize that once you engage in this radical truth-telling, expressing yourself with complete honesty, your story changes; and when your story changes, your life is transformed. Rather than sticking with your illusive and tricky "Story of Me," you'll be prompted to go even deeper, piercing your personal myth and illuminating aspects of psyche and spirit that give way to profound moments of understanding and personal healing.This is not a how-to book for writers; it's an invitation on a journey of self-discovery-a guide to facing yourself without flinching, accepting yourself as you are, surrendering to what is, and daring to question and transform what isn't true. With Writing to Awaken, you'll learn how to break free from the trance of mistaken identity and discover your essential, authentic self.

Book SynopsisA wise and utterly original book of travel essays from an international bestselling author that will “give one an expansive sense of wonder” (The Baltimore Sun). Any Baedeker will tell us where we ought to travel, but only Alain de Botton will tell us how and why. With the same intelligence and insouciant charm he brought to How Proust Can Save Your Life, de Botton considers the pleasures of anticipation; the allure of the exotic, and the value of noticing everything from a seascape in Barbados to the takeoffs at Heathrow. Even as de Botton takes the reader along on his own peregrinations, he also cites such distinguished fellow-travelers as Baudelaire, Wordsworth, Van Gogh, the biologist Alexander von Humboldt, and the 18th-century eccentric Xavier de Maistre, who catalogued the wonders of his bedroom. The Art of Travel is a “refreshing and profoundly readable book (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Don’t leave home without it.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Joy on Demand
Book SynopsisA long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena.In Joy on Demand, Chade-Meng Tan shows that you don’t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joy—you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as fifteen seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life.For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, the bestselling author and Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” has developed a program, through “wise laziness,” to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.Trade Review"When a book offers practical, scientific insights on success and happiness, I'm intrigued. When that book also has cartoons, I'm in. Meng's book is a joyful look about where we can find more joy in our lives." -- Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals "With Joy on Demand, Meng continues to further his goal of promoting a better life grounded in happiness for his fellow human beings. I commend his efforts to build a better world with humor, persistence, and meditation." -- Jimmy Carter, Former President of the United States "Meng presents mind-training tools that are free of traditional religious trappings and made accessible for everyone. His contagious humor and his gentle guidance have the potential to deeply impact today's society." -- His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje "In this book, Meng helped me to see that joy isn't just an emotion, but it's also an action. By tapping into the joy that is deep inside all of us, we gain access to the foundational building blocks of creating a happy life." -- Chip Conley, bestselling author of Emotional Equations and Hospitality entrepreneur "With this book, Meng reminds us that this human joy is the most reliable, lasting, and truly joyful kind, and shows us how to use nothing more (or less) than our own human minds to get it." -- Ray Kurzweil, Inventor, Author and Futurist "A formidable articulation of what it means to cultivate mindfulness in all its dimensionalities, and why it is worth persevering with both effort and effortlessly. Meng's logic and clarity are inspiring, infectious, and transformative." -- Jon Kabat-Zinn, Founder of MBSR, Author of Full Catastrophe Living and Coming to Our Senses "With Meng's new book, joy is about to go viral. These simple, delightful instructions make it as easy to experience--and share--as it could possibly be." -- Steve Chen, Co-Founder of YouTube "This book DEMANDs your EnJOYment!" -- Tony Hsieh, New York Times Bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. "Meng has captured the subject of our search for joy with his usual elegance and humility... All one must bring is the intention for a more joyful and resilient way to live, and these pages will do the rest!" -- Scott Kriens, Director of 1440 Foundation "Joy On Demand is a title that is half in humor, but only half. It is a serious introduction to meditation, the more profound for it being so simply explained. I am now on my next breath." -- George Yeo, Chancellor of Nalanda University "Tan has found a way to make meditation and joy the bedrock principles of one of the most successful companies in history by articulating their value through humor and wisdom, and this book will definitely help you find greater joy and success in your work as well." -- Shawn Achor, happiness researcher and bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage "In Joy On Demand Chade-Meng Tan proves to be a brilliantly convincing salesman for the power of joy. Yet, he does more than persuade: through step by step exercises he delivers the goods." -- Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB, co-founder of A Network for Grateful Living "I loved reading his book.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Chakra Frequencies: Tantra of Sound
Book SynopsisAs both ancient spiritual masters and modern quantum physicists acknowledge, the universe is vibration. Through sound and its ability to communicate with our chakras and subtle body, we can tap into the vibration of the universe for greater harmony and stronger relationships; physical, emotional, and spiritual healing; expanded consciousness; and planetary oneness. In this step-by-step guide, sound healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman and his wife, holistic psychotherapist Andi Goldman, reveal specific ways the voice can resonate the physical and subtle bodies, including 7 powerful chanted Bija Mantras and sacred vowel sounds to balance and align the chakras. Providing exercises with breath, tone, mantras, and seed sounds, the authors show how to practice sound healing either individually or with a partner to strengthen relationships, reach deeper emotional levels, enhance communication, reduce stress, achieve inner balance, and create harmony with those around you as well as the whole planet. The accompanying 60-minute CD offers correct pronunciation and examples of the Bija Mantras, sacred vowels, seed sounds, and vocal exercises in the book as well as recordings of Pythagorean tuning forks, crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, and Tibetan bells, providing the perfect backdrop for beginning a personal or partnered healing sound practice.Trade Review“Chakra Frequencies provides a significant new approach to creating harmony and balance within us by using the power of sound. Blending ancient sound techniques with holistic counseling approaches, the book enables readers to experience the compassion so necessary for the evolution of our consciousness in today’s world.” * Deepak Chopra, author of The Book of Secrets and Peace Is the Way *“Jonathan and Andi Goldman have written an intriguing book that focuses on the use of energy and vibration to shift consciousness and how these elements can bring greater harmony and creativity to ourselves and our relationships.” * Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, coauthors of Conscious Loving and Lasting Love *“Powerful! . . . Timely! Chakra Frequencies leads us on a journey to the core of our most basic needs and deepest beliefs. Through a rare fusion of timeless wisdom and spirituality, Jonathan and Andi Goldman describe how the healing power of sound unlocks the mystery of our interconnectedness with all that is. In doing so they open the door to a new genre of conscious awareness and spiritual mastery. Chakra Frequencies is essential to the library of anyone on the ‘Path!’” * Gregg Braden, author of The God Code and The Divine Matrix *“The information presented in Chakra Frequencies is concise, reader-friendly, and simple enough for a beginner to understand. For those that already understand healing sounds, this book is a great resource to add to current knowledge.” * Irene Watson, Reader Views, June 2011 *“The accompanying CD is invaluable since it guides the listener through the exercises in the book.
