Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. 1 The Decision to Be Your Best Self Theres something we all do, every one of us, about thirty-five thousand times a day on average. We do it every single second of our waking life. We do it when were happy, when were sad, when were tired, and when were energized. Sometimes it feels really easy, and sometimes it can feel like pure agony. Its something we do when were trying to pursue the love of our life, or when were trying to get away from someone we thought was the love of our life. Some people have utilized it to make a lot of money, and some have lost all their money as a result of it. Some people like to do this all by themselves, and some people expect others to do it for them. We often label it as good or bad. Its instinctual, its intuitive, it can require a lot of action or none at all. Im talking about decisions. The majority of those thirty-five thousand daily decisions wont have a critical impact on our lives; I call them autopilot decisions. When I say autopilot, I am talking about the stuff that every human being needs to do. We make a choice to eat, to go to sleep, when to go to the bathroom. Obviously, if youre dealing with issues on this level, then you have to address them first and foremost, because they can threaten your ability to survive. But what were going to be talking about in this book is how to make conscious decisions that are line...

But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.” THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig’s life raft: it’s a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig’s future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.

    Book : Badass Habits Cultivate The Confidence, Boundaries,..

    -Titulo Original : Badass Habits Cultivate The Confidence, Boundaries, And Know-how To Upgrade Your Life-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: New York Times bestselling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits--breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like youve never stuck before.Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often dont keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jens trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits. The book includes enlightening interviews with people whove successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that dont serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldnt be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit. Review “In the world of life coaching, Jen Sincero is the Royal Badass.” -AP “Sincero brings a fun, feminine verve to now well-tread self-help tropes… The tone is far more feisty than academic, and theres humor on every page, all of which is exactly what her intended audience most needs -Publishers Weekly “You Are a Badass will silence your inner critic, and help you build a life worthy of the kind of news feed that others envy. Take a day off from looking for your inner goddess, and spending some time cultivating your outer badass instead.” -Bustle “I adore Jens realistic and funny take on all matters of living an awesome life. She has such a gift for writing in a very digestible way that will appeal to everyone. If youre looking for purple unicorns and rainbows you wont find them here, what you will find are practical and easy ways to connect with your inner badass and change your life.” -Madisyn Taylor, Co-Founder, DailyOM “Author and success coach Jen Sincero takes the self-help book to another level with her cutthroat humor and in-your-face attitude. … you’ll realize how much of a BAMF you really are!” -Albuquerque’s Weekly Alibi About the Author Jen Sincero is a world-renowned author, success coach, and motivational speaker whos spent over a decade helping people transform their lives and their bank accounts.

Chapter 1 Who Youre in the Habit of Being My brother Stephen and his wife, Jenny, came for a visit one year during Fiesta de Santa Fe, a historical celebration that attracts thousands of people to my New Mexican hometown every fall. We didnt participate in any of the festivals festivities during their stay, but we did brave the throngs of revelers in order to walk downtown and have ourselves some margaritas. The walk took us about forty-five minutes each way, and after a lovely afternoon of cocktailing we found ourselves back in my driveway just as the sun was setting. We stood around, taking in the reddening sky, slightly buzzed on tequila and the smug satisfaction of having made it all the way there and back on foot, when out of nowhere, Jenny started clutching at her throat as if she couldnt breathe. Shed suddenly realized, with horror, that somewhere along the way her diamond pendant had fallen off the chain around her neck and was lost. My brother immediately flew into action. Ill retrace our steps, he said, his eyes thoroughly scanning the ground beneath Jennys feet before he slowly and methodically turned and headed back ...

    Book : Its Not Always Depression - Hendel, Hilary Jacobs

    -Titulo Original : Its Not Always Depression-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: American Book Fest Best Health Book (Mental Health & Psychology) Award Winner 2018 Cutting-edge and accessible psychotherapy to put us back in touch with our emotions - and fast I loved it ... I have drawn my own picture of the change triangle - both fascinating and useful - Cathy Rentzenbrink We were all taught that our thoughts affect our emotions, but in truth it is largely the other way around: we have to experience our emotions to truly understand our thoughts, and our full selves. This is why we should think not only about cognitive behavioural therapy or medication, but also about our emotions, when addressing psychological suffering. In Its Not Always Depression , pioneering psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel reveals the most effective techniques for putting us back in touch with the emotions we too often deny - methods which can be used by anyone, any time, anywhere. Drawing on stories from her own practice, she sheds light on the core emotions (such as joy, sadness and fear), defences (anything we do to avoid feeling) and inhibitory emotions (anxiety, shame and guilt), and how understanding their interaction can help us return to mental well-being. This is the basis of accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy: it accelerates healing through having an emotional experience in the here and now. It allows you to reacquaint yourself with your feelings, to recover a more authentic self and to be more calm, curious and connected. Winner of Nautilus Silver for Personal Growth Books 201...

    Book : A New Earth Awakening To Your Lifes Purpose - Tolle,.

    -Titulo Original : A New Earth Awakening To Your Lifes Purpose-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity. Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are-which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are-and learn to live and breathe freely. Review Exclusive Content Download The One Thing, an exclusive essay by Eckhart Tolle. [pdf] Review Praise for Eckhart Tolle and his work[Oprah] Winfrey calls the book a wake-up call for the entire planet, one reader at a time. It helps us to distance ourselves from our egos . . . and to open ourselves to a higher self. . . . It helps us to stop creating our own suffering and obsessing over the past and what the future might be, and to put ourselves in the now. -USA TodayI would do anything to be anywhere in the vicinity of Eckhart Tolle. -Jim CarreyA gentle journey, one that could take you to a spectacular and very special place of new awareness and deeper understanding. -Neale Donald Walsh, author of Conversations with GodOne of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power-the power to bring you into the gap, the space between our thoughts, where we find, as Eckhart so beautifully puts it, deep serenity, stillness, and a sacred Presence. -Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success About the Author Eckhart Tolle is a contemporary spiritual teacher who is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. In his writing and seminars, he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters: There is a way out of suffering and into peace. Tolle travels extensively, taking his teachings throughout the world. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. The Flowering of Human ConsciousnessEvocationEarth, 114 million years ago, one morning just after sunrise: The first flower ever to appear on the planet opens up to receive the rays of the sun. Prior to this momentous event that heralds an evolutionary transformation in the life of plants, the planet had already been covered in vegetation for millions of years. The first flower probably did not survive for long, and flowers must have remained rare and isolated phenomena, since conditions were most likely not yet favorable for a widespread flowering to occur. One day, however, a critical threshold was reached, and suddenly there would have been an explosion of color and scent all over the planet-if a perceiving consciousness had been there to witness it.Much later those delicate and fragrant beings we call flowers would come to play an essential part in the evolution of consciousness of another species. Humans would increasingly be drawn to and fascinated by them. As the consciousness of human beings developed, flowers were most likely the first thing they came to value that had no utilitarian purpose for them, that is to say, was not linked in some way to survival. They provided inspiration to countless artists, poets, and mystics. Jesus tells us to contemplate the flowers and learn from them how to live. The Buddha is said to have given a silent sermon once during which he...

    -Titulo Original : Professional Troublemaker The Fear-fighter Manual-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the New York Times bestselling author of Im Judging You, a hilarious and transformational book about how to tackle fear--that everlasting hater--and audaciously step into lives, careers, and legacies that go beyond even our wildest dreamsLuvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even shes been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, shes not alone.Were all afraid. Were afraid of asking for what we want because were afraid of hearing no. Were afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. Were afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly, meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free.With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice weve been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle.The point is not to be fearless, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Lets go! Review Praise for Professional Troublemaker “For fans of: Shonda Rhimes’s Year of Yes; Hulu’s Shrill; Glennon Doyle’s Untamed; HBO’s Insecure…With some helpful insights from her grandmother, Ajayi Jones encourages us all, via this audaciously funny guide, to overcome imposter syndrome and accept our worth.”-Marie Claire“Luvvie Ajayi Jones reveals the ways imposter syndrome has threatened her writing career and argues truth tellers could do with some practice in this follow-up to 2016’s I’m Judging You. Use it to prepare for your next big win.”-Essence“Luvvie Ajayi Jones delivers a masterclass on escaping the trappings of self-doubt in her latest release... encourag[ing] readers to face fear head on and remove the shame and guilt that we often put on ourselves when experiencing this emotion.”-Ebony“Luvvie Ajayi Jones, the bestselling author of I’m Judging You, brings Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual, a hilarious and transformational book about how to tackle fear-that everlasting hater-and audaciously step into lives, careers and legacies that go beyond even our wildest dreams.”-Black Business Guide, named one of the 21 Books by Black Writers to Read in 2021“Looking for ways to tackle fear or overcome imposter syndrome? This anticipated release is aimed at those who need that extra push with stepping out of their comfort zone, and transforming into an individual who is committed to not letting fear keep them from living the life they truly desire.”-Lux & Concord“As an oft-scared chickenhead, who cares too much about what others think, it’s so comforting to be guided through my own crippling fear and self-doubt by one of the bravest, most incisively honest, hysterical voices I know. This book was so real, relatable and so much of it had me belly laughing.

    Book : Love For Imperfect Things How To Accept Yourself In A

    -Titulo Original : Love For Imperfect Things How To Accept Yourself In A World Striving For Perfection-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet: The world could surely use a little more love, a little more compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things, Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find beauty in the most imperfect of things--including your very own self.A #1 internationally bestselling book of spiritual wisdom about learning to love ourselves, with all our imperfections, by the Buddhist author of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow DownHearing the words be good to yourself first, then to others was like being struck by lightning.Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inward and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at the office, at school, or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us.In this beautiful follow-up to his international bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Zen Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom to the art of self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself--and the flaws that make you who you are--can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, your family, and your friends. With more than thirty-five full-color illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your eyes and your heart, and help you learn to love yourself, your life, and everyone in it.When you care for yourself first, the world begins to find you worthy of care. Review “The struggle for self-compassion can be difficult for even the most enlightened among us. . . . As Haemin Sunim explains throughout his book, self-compassion does not mean being selfish. It’s only when we take care of ourselves, he explains, that we can care for others.” -The New York Times“A real treasure. It teaches us that compassion is at the heart of healing . . . starting with ourselves. I highly recommend this book.” -Christiane Northrup, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom“A treasure! I don’t have to be perfect? What incredible news. This book hit me like a ton of bricks and made many anxieties melt away.” -Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation“You can be the most amazing human being in the world and everyone sees rays of light, love, and genius when they look at you, but if you yourself don’t know it, all of that external admiration doesn’t matter one bit. Haemin Sunim teaches you ways to love yourself first, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you. It makes a world of difference.” -Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times bestselling authors of Getting Back to Happy“Haemin Sunim is the real deal. The simplicity and beauty of his teachings go straight to the heart. Keep this book close by-it will awaken wisdom and deepen your love of life.” -Tara Brach, bestselling author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge“A wonderful book to accompany The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down. Zen teacher Haemin Sunim describes with great clarity the suffocating effect of perfectionism-how damaging it is to think your worth as a person is solely dependent on how you perform. Then, page by page, he shows you how to reclaim your freedom and your life.” -Mark Williams, co-author of Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World“Heartwarming, calming and . . . filled with wisdom and powerful truths.” -Hector Garcia, co-author of Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life“The Buddha, somewhat rebelliously, declared that, instead of a god or guru, the starting point of our path to awakening is our very own imperfections.

    -Titulo Original : The 80/80 Marriage A New Model For A Happier, Stronger Relationship-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: NAMED ONE OF COSMOPOLITANS 15 BEST MARRIAGE BOOKS ALL COUPLES SHOULD READ.An accessible, transformative guide for couples seeking greater love, connection, and intimacy in our modern worldNate and Kaley Klemp were both successful in their careers, consulting for high-powered companies around the world. Their work as mindfulness and leadership experts, however, often fell to the wayside when they came home in the evening, only to end up fighting about fairness in their marriage. They believed in a model where each partner contributed equally and fairness ruled, but, in reality, they were finding that balance near impossible to achieve. From this frustration, they developed the idea of the 80/80 marriage, a new model for balancing career, family, and love. The 80/80 Marriage pushes couples beyond the limited idea of fairness toward a new model grounded on radical generosity and shared success, one that calls for each partner to contribute 80 percent to build the strongest possible relationship. Drawing from more than one hundred interviews with couples from all walks of life, stories from business and pop culture, scientific studies, and ancient philosophical insights, husband-and-wife team Nate and Kaley Klemp pinpoint exactly whats not working in modern marriage. Their 80/80 model of marriage provides practical, powerful solutions to transform your relationship and open up space for greater love and connection. Review Praise for The 80/80 MarriageNew York Times Editor’s Choice “Beautifully written and illustrated and brilliantly argued, any couple reading this will find themselves guided into new and challenging possibilities for their relationship, which if they take seriously and practice faithfully, will surely transform their consciousness, alter their behavior and fulfill their dreams. We heartily encourage all couples to read it with an open mind and a willing heart.” -Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, authors of Getting the Love You Want “Times of dramatic societal change can undo close-in relationships, or strengthen them. This brilliant book offers a pathway for couples to deepen connectedness, calling forth the heart’s potential for generosity, trust, acceptance, and compassion.”-Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and Radical Compassion “Now more than ever, modern couples struggle to find love and connection in the midst of the complexities of modern life. The 80/80 Marriage offers a powerful solution. It gives couples practical tools for shifting out of keeping score and striving for fairness to a mindset of radical generosity.”-John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus “One of the central struggles in modern relationships is the illusive sense of fairness. The 80/80 Marriage gives couples a new, more effective model for navigating this terrain, and a powerful way to begin feeling more connected and in love.”-Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone “Nate and Kaley Klemp, through their own marriage and interviews with scores of couples, give us a fresh perspective on handling the age-old issues of intimate relationships: communication, chores, money, sexuality, and more.”-Gay Hendricks, PhD, author of The Big Leap and Conscious Loving (coauthored with Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks) “What’s fair is not always equal and what’s equal is not always fair. Nate and Kaley offer approachable exercises to shift from a 50/50 mindset to a relationship mindset, creating respect and true appreciation for every twenty-first century couple.”-Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play“The 80/80 Marriage takes us beyond the inevitable power struggles and the scarcity mentality of so many modern relationships. It is a brilliant way forward to deeper love and lasting happiness.”-Doug Abrams, co-author of Eight Dates and The Book of Joy“This book will be hugely helpful to everyone except divorce lawyers. It’s filled with profound insights about reframin...

    Book : Connect Building Exceptional Relationships With...

    -Titulo Original : Connect Building Exceptional Relationships With Family, Friends And Colleagues-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: 1792, France Rumors of revolution in Paris swirl in Marseille, a bustling port city in southern France. Gilles Etienne, a clerk at the local soap factory, thrives on the news. Committed to the cause of equality, liberty, and brotherhood, he and his friends plan to march to Paris to dethrone the monarchy. His plans are halted when he meets Marie-Caroline Daubin, the beautiful daughter of the owner of the factory. A bourgeoise and royalist, Marie-Caroline has been called home to Marseille to escape the unrest in Paris. She rebuffs Gilless efforts to charm her and boldly expresses her view that violently imposed freedom is not really freedom for all. As Marie-Caroline takes risks to follow her beliefs, Gilles catches her in a dangerous secret that could cost her and her family their lives. As Gilles and Marie-Caroline spend more time together, she questions her initial assumptions about Gilles and realizes that perhaps they have more in common than she thought. As the spirit of revolution descends on Marseille, people are killed and buildings are ransacked and burned to the ground. Gilles must choose between supporting the political change he believes in and protecting those he loves. And Marie-Caroline must battle between standing up for what she feels is right and risking her familys safety. With their lives and their nation in turmoil, both Gilles and Marie-Caroline wonder if a revolutionnaire and a royaliste can really be together or if they must live in a world that forces people to choose sides. Review With each successive encounter, Gilles has with Marie-Caroline...makes him realize that people, like politics, are full of complexities and nuances.

    Book : Ikigai The Japanese Secret To A Long And Happy Life -

    -Titulo Original : Ikigai The Japanese Secret To A Long And Happy Life-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * 1.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE“Workers looking for more fulfilling positions should start by identifying their ikigai.” Business Insider “One of the unintended-yet positive-consequences of the [pandemic] is that it is forcing people to reevaluate their jobs, careers, and lives. Use this time wisely, find your personal ikigai, and live your best life.” ForbesFind your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days.“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” -Japanese proverb According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai-a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai-where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap-means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life-the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds-one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and-their best-kept secret-how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day? Review “Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them. . . . Much in the same way that The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up emphasizes ‘choosing what we want to keep, and not what we want to get rid of,’ [Ikigai] demonstrates that aging could be an opportunity to keep working, keep smiling, keep active, and keep being social.” -KonMari Newsletter“Want to live longer? Keep super busy. If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something-and doing it with supreme focus and joy. . . . Pack up those cozy blankets and candles you purchased in last year’s hygge-fueled Ikea spree. Fall’s biggest imported lifestyle trend is ikigai, and it might help you live to 100.” -New York Post“Originating from a country with one of the world’s oldest populations, ikigai is becoming popular outside of Japan as a way to live longer and better. . . . [It] is helping people live longer on Okinawa as it gives them purpose.” -World Economic Forum“The Japanese concept of ikigai (the happiness of being busy) [is] attainable and even an important key to living longer.” -Elle “Discovering your ikigai, or passion, can be one of the greatest journeys you will embark on.” -Forbes“Enjoy a cup or two of green tea as you digest this small, charming book.” -Minneapolis Star Tribune“A must-follow lifestyle hack . . . Think feng shui with Venn diagrams-although this time there is no need to move the front door.” -The Guardian“Ikigai is what allows you to look forward to the future even if you’re miserable right now. . . . It might just help you live a more fulfilling life.” -BBC “A refreshingly simple recipe for happiness.” -Stylist“An attractive and absorbing book.” -The Bookseller“Persuasively shows that small changes can help readers find more joy and purpose in their lives [with] clear, succinct information . . . skillfully compiled . . . into an engaging, easily accessible format with lists, charts, and illustrations.” -Publishers Weekly“Ikigai gently unlocks simple secrets we can all use to live long, meaningful, happy lives.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. If you’re ready to make more money, you can. I don’t care how many times you’ve tried and failed or if you’re so broke you’re selling your bodily fluids for bus fare or how often you’ve found yourself center stage at the checkout counter, feigning shock and indignation: “Are you sure? Declined?! That’s impossible. Can you run it one more time?” No matter how out of the question it may seem for you at this moment, you can make lots of money. Even I’ma-buy-everyone-I-love-a-house-and-a-gold-tooth kind of money, if that’s what turns you on. I’d also like to point out that there’s nothing horribly wrong with you if you haven’t figured out how to do it yet. Money is one of the most loaded topics out there-we love money, hate money, obsess over money, ignore money, resent money, hoard money, crave money, bad-mouth money; money is rife with so much desire and shame and weirdness it’s a wonder we can utter the word above a whisper, let alone go out and joyfully rake it in. (Have you been brave enough to read this book in public I wonder? With the title in full view?)

    -Titulo Original : The Brain That Changes Itself Stories Of Personal Triumph From The Frontiers Of Brain Science-Fabricante : Penguin Life-Descripcion Original: An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives theyve transformed. From stroke patients learning to speak again to the remarkable case of a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, The Brain That Changes Itself will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential. Review “The power of positive thinking finally gains scientific credibility. Mind-bending, miracle-making, reality-busting stuff...with implications for all human beings, not to mention human culture, human learning and human history.” -The New York Times “Brilliant...Doidge has identified a tidal shift in basic science...The implications are monumental.” -The London Times “Fascinating. Doidge’s book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain.” -Oliver Sacks, MD “Lucid and absolutely fascinating. It satisfies in equal measure the mind and heart.” -The Chicago Tribune An utterly wonderful book-without question one of the most important books about the brain you will ever read; yet it is beautifully written, immensely approachable, and full of humanity. Its message is one of hope: it is not just our brains that shape our thinking, but our thinking that, very definitely, shapes our brains. -Iain McGilchrist MA (Oxon), BM, FRCPsych, FRSA author of The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World “Two years ago, when the journal Cerebrum at the Dana Foundation in the US updated its list of great books about the brain for the general reader, it found there were already 30,000 brain-related books in English. Aided by scientific advisers and readers, it produced a new list - with The Brain That Changes Itself at No. 1.” -The Melbourne Age “Doidge turns everything we thought we knew about the brain upside down.” -Publisher’s Weekly “Brilliant...This book is a wonderful and engaging way or re-imagining what kind of creatures we are.” -Jeanette Winterson, novelist, Order of the British Empire, Guardian, Best Book of 2008 “Superb. Brilliant. I devoured it.” -V.S. Ramachandran, MD, PHD, Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition, Univeristy of California, San Diego, Author of Phantoms of the Brain “Doidge... is a master ... at explaining science to the rest of us. Doidge is the best possible guide. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to read it, just curious about your brain. Buy this book. Your brain will thank you.” -The Globe and Mail “Readers will want to read entire sections aloud and pass the book on to someone who can benefit from it. [Doidge] links scientific experimentation with personal triumph in a way that inspires awe” -Washington Post “Doidge tells one spell-binding story after another as he travels the globe interviewing the scientists and their subjects who are on the cutting edge of a new age. It may be hard to imagine that a book so rich in science can also be a page-turner, but this one is hard to set down.” -Jeff Zimman, Posit Science, e-newsletter “The most readable and best general treatment of this subject to date.” -Michael M. Merzenich, Ph.D., Keck Center for Integrative Neurosciences University of California at San Francisco “A riveting, essential book… These stories are most emotionally satisfying.
