-Titulo Original : The Idle Parent Why Laid-back Parents Raise Happier And Healthier Kids-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: This wise and funny book presents a revolutionary yet highly practical approach to childcare: leave them alone. The Idle Parent came as a huge relief to the whole family. Suddenly, it was okay to leave the kids to sort it out among themselves. Suddenly, it was okay to be responsibly lazy. This is the most counterintuitive but most helpful and consoling child-raising manual Ive yet read.--Alain de Botton, author of The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work and The Consolations of Philosophy The most easy-to-follow-without-being-made-to-feel-inadequate parenting manifesto ever written . . . A godsend to parents.-- The Sunday Times Add liberal doses of music, jovial company and deep woods to play in--all central to the idle, not to say Taoist, life--and you have a recipe for bright, happy people with need of neither television nor shrink. Who could ask for more?-- The Evening Standard In The Idle Parent, the author of The Freedom Manifesto and How to Be Idle applies his trademark left-of-center theories of idleness to what can be one of the thorniest aspects of adult life: parenting. Many parents today spend a whole lot of time worrying and wondering--frantically helicoptering over their children with the hope that they might somehow keep (or make?) them flawless. But where is this approach to childcare getting us? According to Hodgkinson, in our quest to give our kids everything, we fail to give them the two things they need most: the space and time to grow up self-reliant, confident, happy, and free. In this smart and hilarious book, Hodgkinson urges parents to stop worrying and instead start nurturing the natural instincts toward creativity and independence that are found in every child. And the great irony: in doing so, we will find ourselves becoming happier and better parents. From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Daily Telegraph parenting columnist Hodgkinson, author of How to Be Idle and editor of The Idler magazine, argues for the primary parenting principle of leave them alone in this witty, welcome guide to raising happy, self-sufficient children. Beginning with a 21-point manifesto (We try not to interfere; An idle parent is a thrifty parent; We reject the inner Puritan; We embrace responsibility), and quoting extensively from such unlikely parenting authorities as Rousseau and D.H. Lawrence (the source of leave the children alone), the married father of three explores a range of child-rearing issues, from sleeping and mealtimes to whining, and repeatedly makes a convincing case for the power of letting children be. Citing damage done by overzealous parents, hes critical of television, the Wii, scheduled activities, all toys but the most basic (simply pluck a branch from a tree), and anything else--including school--that gets in the way of a childs imagination, sense of freedom, and independence. While his suggestions may seem disquieting, or put well-meaning parents on the defensive, theyre grounded in a solid sense of reality, a sincere interest in fulfilling children and parents, and experience: We wasted hundreds on absurd devices, like the thing that they sit in and use to walk around the room. No: they learn how to walk on their own. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

-Titulo Original : The Girlfriends Guide To Toddlers (girlfriends Guides)-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: With a combined total of over 300,000 Girlfriends Guides in print, Vicki Iovine offers the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor and straight-from-the-hip advice that has made her one of todays most popular authorities on child rearing. Now she takes the next step in the Girlfriends series by helping mothers deal with that mysterious, baffling, often adorable and frequently alarming being their baby has become--a toddler. Review Beyond child development theory and experts, beyond the shoulds and the donts that guilt-ridden parents constantly hear echoing in their ears, theres Vicki Iovine, Americas favorite girlfriend and mother-in-the-trenches. In The Girlfriends Guide to Toddlers, Iovines third addition to her parenting panoply ( The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy and The Girlfriends Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood) Iovine focuses, for the first time, more on the child than on the mother. (Toddlers always get all the attention, dont they?) Iovine is wise, and not just because shes read all the current parenting literature (she has) or heard it from her famous mythical girlfriends. Iovine knows what shes talking about because she has four young children and shes been through it all. In her ongoing vision of parenting, humor and a network of friends play an important role, bribery has its place, discipline is sensible and loving, and advice is grounded in the practical rather than the theoretical. From Eating (or Not) to Discipline to The Comfort Zone (Binkies, Bankies, Loveys and Thumbs) to Potty Training (Whats the Big Rush?) to Sleepy Time to Fashion (yes, its an issue for toddlers), Iovine continues her mission to inform the contemporary parent, to tell the truth, to boldly go where many child development experts have gone before, and to keep her readers laughing while she does it. --Ericka Lutz From Publishers Weekly Child magazine columnist and author of several other Girlfriends Guides, Iovine offers entertaining anecdotes and sage advice on raising kids from ages one to three. What makes Iovine an expert? The mother of four openly admits her main qualification is that she and her friends have spent many years raising their own toddlers, and she states that her advice?anecdotal and emotional?isnt endorsed by medical professionals or nutritionists (we [Iovine and her girlfriends] dont know our enzymes from our electrolytes). That said, this seasoned mom knowledgeably walks readers through the toddler trenches, covering such age-appropriate concerns as potty training, play dates, sleep and eating habits?with an emphasis on how mothers can cope. Though Iovine is witty, she can also be philosophical and sentimental, as when she talks about what a toddler really is (somewhere between a baby and a child) or about how?for mothers?a childs first cut is really the deepest. Iovines fans will be delighted with this latest volume in the Girlfriends series, and new mothers warily approaching their childs toddlerhood will find that Iovines take on these challenging years is as reasonable as that of any expert?and quite a bit funnier. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review “Chatty, hilarious, informative and wise…Iovine offers the kind of frank, sanity-saving advice you might get from a beloved best friend who’s already been there.”- Bookpage “Iovine and the Girlfriends are back at it again, granting us the benefit of their considerable experience on everything toddlerish.”-The Austin Chronicle “Well-written and graced with humor, The Girlfriends’ Guide will, like a good friend, help get you thorough those first wobbly years of motherhood.”-Chicago Tribune “Iovine offers entertaining anecdotes and sage advice on raising kids from ages one to three…this seasoned mom knowledgeably walks readers through the toddler trenches…fans will be delighted in this latest volume in the Girlfriends’ ...

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter One The City of Separation There was a city, covered by clouds. In it were greatoffice buildings, schools, stores, and factories. The city was a place whereraw materials, both physical and human, flowed. It was the center of theeconomy. It was where you had to be to be an important, successful person, butit was also a place where many terrible things happened. The majority of peoplein their own estimation were failures; no person or place was secure fromvarious unlawful acts; and the conditions supported in this environmentproduced an infinite variety of illnesses, including some that were deadly andcontagious. This city was very dark. Energy had become quite limitedand little light was available. People passed one another in shadows and couldnot easily see each other. Perhaps to be noticed more, they improvised variousextreme forms of behavior and dress. In this place it was typical for people to live in fearand suspicion. Even so-called friends withheld much from one another. If you askedwho was in charge, you would be told, “We are all free here; we follow our ownselves. No one controls us. This is just the way things are.” In my childhood I always had an uneasy feeling about mycity, having glimpsed the countryside on road trips with my parents. But by thetime I became an adolescent I had started to take pride in its attractions, itsenergy, thinking that this was the place where the worst and the best ofeverything could be found. I was drawn to walking i...

-Titulo Original : The Alternate-day Diet Revised The Original Up-day, Down-day Eating Plan To Turn On Your Skinny Gene, Shed The Pounds, And Live A Longer And Healthier Life-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: The original intermittent fasting diet - now up-dated and expanded An easy-to-follow, safe, and science-based alternate-day calorie-restriction program that promotes weight loss and longevity, The Alternate-Day Diet includes the most up-to-date research on calorie restriction and intermittent fasting as well as additional techniques (including supplementation and eating according to the body’s natural circadian rhythms) to enhance the diet’s effectiveness. The Alternate-Day Diet describes how limiting caloric intake every other day can activate a gene called SIRT1 which reduces inflammation, lowers free radical stress, improves insulin resistance, and most important, causes fat loss by releasing fat cells from around the organs. In short, activating SIRT1 promotes weight loss and longevity. The simple two-step program calls for you to limit calories one day and eat normally the next and the book outlines lifestyle suggestions to support the diet’s effectiveness including proper hydration and exercise, which are also key components to maximizing weight-loss.

All rights reserved. AUTHOR’S PREFACE In every chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years. The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me. When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise. This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling. He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half. His experience with Charles M. Schwab, and other young men of Mr. Schwab’s type, convinced Mr. Carnegie that much of that which is taught in the schools is of no value whatsoever in connection with the business of earning a living or accumulating riches. He had arrived at this decision, because he had taken into his business one young man after another, many of them with but little schooling, and by coaching them in the use of this formula, developed in them rare leadership. Moreover, his coaching made fortunes for everyone of them who followed his instructions. In the chapter on Faith, you will read the astounding story of the organization of the giant United States Steel Corporation, as it was conceived and carried out by one of the young men through whom Mr. ...

-Titulo Original : The Power Of Awareness (tarcher Cornerstone Editions)-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Review Neville may eventually be recognized as one of the worlds great mystics. -Joseph Murphy, author ofThe Power of Your Subconscious MindA popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 30s until his death in 1972, Neville authored ten books in which he captured the sheer logic of creative mind principles. His work has impacted me in a very profound way; in fact, hes been a great mentor to me in the past few years. -Dr. Wayne Dyer in Wishes Fulfilled “Neville may be the positive-thinking movement’s most radical and subtly influential voice.” -Mitch Horowitz, Time “Of all the metaphysical systems with which I am acquainted, Neville’s is the most magical.” -Israel RegardieThe words of spiritual teacher Neville Goddard retain their power to electrify... Neville captured the sheer logic of creative mind principles as perhaps no other figure of his era. -Science of Mind magazine A beautiful edition of one of the twentieth century’s most powerful and intriguing works on how to use the manifesting powers of your mind. Features the bonus book, Awakened Imagination.Here is a signature volume of one of the most quietly impactful and radical works ever written on the creative potentialities of human thought, The Power of Awareness. In this book, author Neville presents a concise, unforgettable statement of his core philosophy: that the world around you is a picture in your mind’s eye, created by your thinking, and susceptible to change by altering your thoughts and feelings.Originally published in 1952, The Power of Awareness not only prefigured the revolution in mind-power metaphysics, but surpassed it. Before the public had heard about quantum physics experiments (popularized in our own time through movies such as The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know!?), Neville was conveying the unheard-of message that reality is directly impacted by the perspective and consciousness of the observer himself. Moreover, he wrote, each of us is ultimately responsible for, and capable of reshaping, the outer circumstances we perceive.Neville’s authorial genius is his ability to deliver these ideas in an immensely readable and enjoyable way. Like few other metaphysical figures of his era, Neville captured complexities in simple stories, memorable examples, and practical advice. His books are unfailingly brief and easy to read, because his command of his material is so masterly and complete.The Power of Awareness also includes a special bonus work, Awakened Imagination, originally published in 1954. This two-in-one volume forms a brilliant introduction and user’s guide to the practical philosophy of a great spiritual thinker. About the Author Born to an English family in Barbados, NEVILLE GODDARD (1905-1972) moved to New York City at age seventeen to study theater. In 1932, he abandoned his work as a dancer and actor to fully devote himself to his career as a metaphysical writer and lecturer. Using the solitary pen name Neville, he became one of the twentieth century’s most articulate and charismatic purveyors of the philosophy generally called New Thought. Neville was an influence on a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from Joseph Murphy to Carlos Castaneda. The impact of his ideas continues to be felt in some of today’s bestselling works of practical spirituality...

INTRODUCTIONIt took me a long time to become comfortable with where I am. I spent a lot of my years longing for the past or waiting for the future to arrive, confused about where I was and where I wanted to go. Admitting to myself that I was confused and unsatisfied was difficult enough; the thought of actually doing something about it was a little too much to swallow. Instead, I welcomed distraction. I ventured down various paths for the sake of going somewhere, even though none of them took me close to where I wanted to go. I explored career paths because other people’s successes made me feel like I should want them, too. I grappled. I swayed. Nothing changed; it’s impossible to follow a dream that has no shape or outline. When I realized that I couldn’t continue grasping for an invisible idea, feeling, or future, I began doing some of the more difficult work that comes along with introspection. I peeled back the layers in order to find out who I really was, what was most important to me, and what it was that I wanted to cultivate in my life. The hardest questions are the ones that open doors....

-Titulo Original : F*cking History 111 Lessons You Should Have Learned In School-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: History that doesnt suck: Smart, crude, and hilariously relevant to modern life.Those who dont know history are doomed to repeat it. Too bad its usually boring as sh*t. Enter The Captain, the ultimate storyteller who brings history to life (and to your life) in this hilarious, intelligent, brutally honest, and crude compendium to events that happened before any of us were born.The entries in this compulsively readable book bridge past and present with topics like getting ghosted, handling haters, and why dog owners rule (sorry, cat people). Along the way youll get a glimpse of Edith Whartons sex life, dating rituals in Ancient Greece, catfishing in 500 BC, medieval flirting techniques, and squad goals from Catherine the Great. Youll learn why losing yourself in a relationship will make you crazy--like Joanna of Castile, who went from accomplished badass to Joanna the Mad after obsessing over a guy known as Philip the Handsome. Youll discover how Resting Bitch Face has been embraced throughout history (so wear it proudly). And youll see why its never a good idea to f*ck with powerful women--from pirate queens to diehard suffragettes to Cleo-f*cking-patra. People in the past were just like us--so learn from lifes losers and emulate the badasses. The Captain shows you how. About the Author The Captain is a writer, creator, and instigator. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. GETTIN GHOSTEDFew things in life will make you feel as dumb as getting ghosted. But you know what? Getting ghosted is a f*cking blessing. Because anybody who wont give you the courtesy of giving it to you straight is somebody you dont need in your life anyway. So if you get ghosted, keep doing your thing and make sure the person who ghosted you lives to absolutely f*cking regret it. Be like Edith Wharton.By the year 1905, Edith had already made quite a name for herself as an author and a wordsmith. Sadly, her literary success did not carry into her marriage. (Apparently, her husband was kind of an angry sh*thead.) And like unhappily married people have been known to do, she had an affair. It began in 1907 with a kindred spirit and fellow writer by the name of William Morton Fullerton. Edith was head over heels for this guy and thought for sure he was the soul mate most people only dream of meeting. Unfortunately, the affair was short-lived, as Fullerton disappeared on her sometime in 1908. Yep, he straight up ghosted her ass.Over the years, she did what she could to find him and make contact by writing hundreds of letter-yes, hundreds-in an attempt to get some closure, but F*ckboy Fullerton never bothered to even give her a response. Realizing all her worrying was dumb, Edith gave up and got on with her life. In 1913 she divorced her husband and moved to France. There, she continued to write, and in 1916 she received the French Legion of Honor award for her work during the war. In 1921 she became THE FIRST WOMAN EVER to win a Pulitzer Prize, for her novel The Age of Innocence.As a saucy, scholarly boss, she never remarried and spent the rest of her life writing in the French Riviera, with her dogs, her garden, and her close friends. She even went on to receive three Nobel Prize nominations before her death in 1937. And what did Fullerton do with his life? Not much. His claim to fame was dating Edith, and a selection of the letters she wrote to him were eventually published in a book. Yeah, although he didnt respond, he received and saved every single one-all four hundred of em. (Huh, suddenly sending five texts in a row doesnt seem so bad.)You see, getting ghosted is not the end of the world. If someone ghosts you, haunt their ass with your success. Or just get, like, super f*cking attractive. Either way, you win, they lose.***TILL DEATH DO YOU PART (OR NOT)Youre a f*cking catch. And anyone you date should f*cking act like it. Dont waste your time with someone who only wants t...
