Like a supportive friend, it will help you to move through life with more joy, clarity and a stronger sense of purpose.Charlotte created these illustrated, uplifting thoughts to inspire herself to improve her own life while suffering from depression and feeling stuck in an office job that she did not enjoy. When she became ill with RSI, Charlotte finally plucked up the courage to compile the thoughts into a book and self-publish it. The response she received was overwhelmingly positive, with customers at her market stall in London’s Notting Hill regularly bursting into tears of relief on reading one of the thoughts that spoke directly to them, and thousands of copies of her self-published book have sold by word of mouth alone.
Maybe (Maybe Not): Second Thoughts from a Secret Life
by Robert FulghumTHE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERI once began a list of the contradictory notions I hold:Look before you leap.He who hesitates is lost.Two heads are better than one.If you want something done right, do it yourself.Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Better safe than sorry.Out of sight, out of mind.Absence makes the heart grow fonder.You can't tell a book by its cover.Clothes make the man.Many hands make light work.Too many cooks spoil the broth.You can't teach an old dog new tricks.It's never too late to learn.Never sweat the small stuff.God is in the details.And so on. The list goes on forever. Once I got so caught up in this kind of thinking that I wore two buttons on my smock when I was teaching art. One said, "Trust me, I'm a teacher." The other replied, "Question Authority."[signature]FulghumFrom the Paperback edition.

Maybe You Should Give Up: 7 Ways to Get Out of Your Own Way and Take Control of Your Life
by Byron MorrisonThe counter-intuitive guide to get out of your own way, stop sabotaging yourself and take control of your life.Byron Morrison knows exactly how frustrating it can be to feel like you’re your own worst enemy. For years he’d sabotage everything from his health to his relationships and his professional success. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to change, if anything, he knew exactly what he needed to do to create the life he wanted. Yet he’d get stuck in a never-ending cycle of making some progress, only to then lose motivation, fall off track or do something that would undo all his hard work.Eventually, he had enough, and he committed to figuring out what was actually going on. In doing so, he discovered that the biggest barrier in the way of his success…was himself. It was the sabotaging voice that caused him to overthink and doubt himself. All his thoughts and fears that kept him trapped in his own head. His patterns and behaviors that kept him stuck.Tired of taking one step forward and two steps back, he realized he needed to do something different. So, he gave up. Not on his goals and dreams, but he gave up being controlled by fear. He gave up living in the past. He gave up comparing himself to others. He gave up on being so hard on himself. And he gave up putting off his happiness. And it worked. He was able to finally take his career to the next level, open himself up to more connected relationships, get into the best shape of his life and find happiness in himself.Along the way, through extensive research and working with people in 15 countries, he discovered that there are seven mental barriers that all of us struggle with. It is these mental barriers that keep us stuck and stop us from taking the actions we know we need to take to create the life we want. ‘Maybe You Should Give Up’ is going to help you identify and break through those seven mental barriers. You’ll discover cycle-breaking techniques that have been broken down into easy-to-follow steps that will empower you to get out of your own way and stop sabotaging yourself.Maybe You Should Give Up is a book about empowerment. About helping you break through everything that is standing in the way of the life that you want.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
by Lori GottliebINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Now being developed as a television series with Eva Longoria and ABC!&“Rarely have I read a book that challenged me to see myself in an entirely new light, and was at the same time laugh-out-loud funny and utterly absorbing.&”—Katie Couric &“This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book.&”—Arianna Huffington, Founder, Huffington Post and Founder & CEO, Thrive Global &“Wise, warm, smart, and funny. You must read this book.&”—Susan Cain, New York Times best-selling author of QuietFrom a New York Times best-selling author, psychotherapist, and national advice columnist, a hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist&’s world—where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients&’ lives — a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can&’t stop hooking up with the wrong guys — she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.

Me lo merezco todo: Triunfar haciendo las cosas difíciles de la manera correcta
by John TownsendEn una cultura que fomenta los atajos y la irresponsabilidad, este libro provee principios y habilidades para ayudar a las personas a llegar a ser exitosas y a ayudar a otros que están atascados en un modo de vida «de la forma fácil». <P><P>Hoy día vivimos en una cultura que dice: «Mi vida debería ser fácil y funcionar bien para mí». Esta actitud, denominada sentirse con derechos, influencia nuestras instituciones más importantes: familia, negocios, iglesia y gobierno. Sus efectos son devastadores, contribuyendo a problemas relacionales, problemas de ética en el trabajo, y luchas emocionales. Se reduce a esto: las personas no están llegando hasta donde quieren ir, porque no saben cómo vivir de la forma difícil. Sentirse con derechos evita que aborden retos y encuentren el éxito. Este libro proporciona principios y herramientas para el cambio. Enseña a las personas las habilidades de aprender a abordar y resolver asuntos que son difíciles, en lugar de evitarlos, abandonar demasiado pronto, o esperar que otra persona lo haga en lugar de ellos. Los hábitos obtenidos de este libro conducirán al éxito en las relaciones, las finanzas, el cuidado personal y el trabajo del lector. <P><P>Cuando el lector enfrenta lo que debe ser enfrentado, se mantiene firme para cumplir sus metas y resolver sus luchas mejor y con más rapidez. En ese sentido, este libro aporta mucha esperanza y positividad a la difícil arena de la vida. La forma difícil es sencilla: es enfrentar cada reto requerido para lograr lo que más importa. Cualquier cosa que valga la pena hacer tendrá el costo de ser difícil de hacer. Pero cuando aprendemos a hacer las cosas correctas, y a superar el dolor que conllevan, tenemos una posibilidad de éxito mucho mejor. A veces nos llegan pruebas, como problemas matrimoniales, un negocio que fracasa, o una enfermedad. Otras veces son oportunidades en las que es necesario correr un riesgo, como comenzar un negocio a tiempo parcial, o simplemente ser vulnerable con alguien. Y otras veces son problemas que deben ser confrontados, como un adolescente problemático, una conversación que hemos estado evitando, o un equipo en el trabajo que necesita ser reestructurado. Cualquiera que sea el contexto, la forma difícil es la primera y mejor manera de enfocar un buen resultado.

Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change
by Olga KhazanIs it really possible to change your entire personality in a year? An award-winning journalist experiments with her own personality to find out—and reveals the science behind lasting change.In recent years, Olga Khazan had been spiraling toward an existential crisis. Though she treasured her loving relationship and her dream job, her neurotic personality often left her snatching dissatisfaction from the jaws of happiness. While her overachieving had always been a professional asset, Olga lately felt like her brittle disposition could shatter under the weight of just one more thing—but could she really change her entire personality? Research shows that you can alter your personality traits by behaving in ways that align with the kind of person you&’d like to be—a process that can make you happier, healthier, and more successful. In Me, But Better, Olga embarks on an experiment to see whether it&’s possible to go from dwelling in dread to &“radiating joy.&” For one year, Olga reluctantly clicked &“yes&” on a bucket list of new experiences—from meditation to improv to sailing—that forced her to at least act happy. With a skeptic&’s eye, Olga brings you on her journey through the science of personality, presenting evidence-backed techniques to help you change your mind for the better. Sharply witty and deeply fascinating, Me, But Better offers a probing inquiry into what it means to live a fulfilling life, and how you can keep diving into change, no matter how uncomfortable it feels.
