Modern life is hectic and relentless; most of us are bombarded by stress throughout our day. Conversely, CALM will help you discover how to take back a little bit of peace, space, and all-important time for yourself. Using a mix of creative prompts, activities, and motivations, this book’s journal-like pages are illustrated throughout with beautiful drawings and soothing photos, and interactive activities—black and white designs to color in, word games, and puzzles. Michael Acton Smith demonstrates a wide range of simple and achievable habits that anyone can use to find a bit of tranquility amid the demands of our busy lives—without pretending that those demands don’t exist. As he notes, “Calming the mind is not about switching off and retreating from the bustle of life. It’s a superpower that rewires our brains, changes the way we see the world and helps to unlock our true potential.” CALM is divided into eight sections of calm that everyone should have in their life: Nature, Sleep, Travel, Relationships, Work, Children, Creativity, and Food. CALM is inspirational, practical, and contains no rules—pick up CALM whenever you need it, dip in and out, and choose how you want to use it. Calm the mind, change the world.
Have you ever hoped to recapture the powerful sense of aliveness you’ve felt at the best moments of your life? With enlightening stories and fresh practices, On the Verge teaches us how to experience what author and “mental strength coach” Cara Bradley calls “highdefinition, high-voltage living” on purpose, every day. Cara guides you through the process toward an indescribable sense of fulfillment and empowerment that you may not have thought possible but that was always there, on the “verge” of happening, ready to emerge:
Cara wrote On the Verge for those who want more energy, enthusiasm, clarity, and confidence. “You’re already awake and fully alive. You’re already on the verge. You just may not believe it—yet. I want to help you believe in your extraordinary human potential to show up and shine in even the most ordinary moments of your everyday life,” writes Cara, “and to do so not by accident or once in a while, but on purpose.”
15 THINGS YOU SHOULD GIVE UP
TO BE HAPPY: In a world where we are led to believe that happiness, wealth, and success come from being better than everyone else, and from having, doing, and knowing more, this book argues the exact opposite: it is in letting go that we find contentment. Luminita is the founder of PurposeFairy. com, and it was there she first posted her simple list of things to let go of in order to be happy. The list went viral—it was shared more than one million times and counting, and was called “the most viral self-development article in the history of the Internet.” Based on that inspiring post, this heartfelt book gives readers permission to give up—that is, to let go of the bad habits that are holding them back from achieving authentic happiness. Chapters include:
Simple yet wise, and informed by the author’s own inspiring personal journey, this is a relatable and fresh take on happiness advice. HAPPILY EVER AFTER… According to bestselling authors and relationship counselors Linda and Charlie Bloom, accepting common myths such as “couples with great relationships don’t fight” can prevent you from building the strong relationship you hope for. It’s not so much the things we don’t know about relationships that can hurt us but rather the things we THINK WE KNOW. These myths, from “love means never to having to say you’re sorry” to “once a cheater, always a cheater,” permeate our culture and take root in our minds, preventing many couples from doing the work required to build a good, lasting relationship. As the Blooms’ book reveals, such unexamined acceptance can lead to disastrous consequences in the context of intimate partnerships. Some of the myths included are: “Frequent arguing is a sure sign that you’re married to the wrong person.” “Marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition.” “All the good men / women are taken.” “Once you’ve lost that loving feeling, it’s gone, gone, gone.” “Little things aren’t worth getting upset about.” Going beyond just challenging the validity of these myths, this book offers valuable suggestions for replacing them with more realistic and practical behaviors that enhance and strengthen intimate relationships. Each chapter presents an alternative to the myth and offers tools and suggestions for disproving harmful assumptions and instead adopting practices and skills that will keep your relationship growing. Happily Ever After contains easily absorbed nuggets of wisdom and entertaining anecdotes, stories, and vignettes that illustrate the essential messages contained in each chapter. Couples will find new ways to strengthen and heal their relationships and move toward the type of love they thought only occurred in myths! PRODUCTS
Disclaimer: these were my favorite bars before I was offered this review opportunity. But now that I know this company’s background, and have sampled nine out of their 11 combinations, GoMacro Bars have become my “more favorite” bars. GoMacro’s products are as clean and pure as it gets. Promising fresh, delicious, nutrient-rich, mostly raw ingredients, they source only 100% plant-based ingredients from the top organic and non-GMO certified growers, and sweeten with InfantSafe® organic brown rice syrup. These organic, vegan and Kosher bars do NOT contain soy, gluten or dairy. Started as a mother-daughter team, GoMacro is an independent family-owned and operated business. When the mom, Amelia was diagnosed with cancer in 2003, she stopped eating anything that wasn’t directly grown in the ground. Living on a farm, she grew her own organic vegetables and fruits. Her improved health was the inspiration and impetus to start GoMacro. Some of their “ingredient combinations” in their extensive line include: Banana & Almond Butter, Sesame Butter & Dates, Cherries & Berries, Sunflower Butter & Chocolate, and Granola & Coconut.
