'Change Your Life One Day at a Time' includes 365 practical and accessible pieces of advice that can be easily incorporated into everyday life. The book works on the principle that the cumulative effect of such simple changes and moments of awareness will enable noticeable, holistic improvement. Distributed evenly across four seasonal chapters, the entries cover nutrition, mind, relationships, physical environment, fitness and natural beauty - so everything from eating blueberries to watching a sunset. This book is here to help you realise how many lifestyle choices - the food you eat, the gestures you make, your pastimes, the way you think - are within your power to change for the better.
In How to Be Miserable, psychologist Randy Paterson outlines 40 specific behaviors and habits, which—if followed—are sure to lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. On the other hand, if you do the opposite, you may yet join the ranks of happy people everywhere! There are stacks upon stacks of self-help books that will promise you love, happiness, and a fabulous life. But how can you pinpoint the exact behaviors that cause you to be miserable in the first place? Sometimes when we’re depressed, or just sad or unhappy, our instincts tell us to do the opposite of what we should—such as focusing on the negative, dwelling on what we can’t change, isolating ourselves from friends and loved ones, eating junk food, or overindulging in alcohol. Sound familiar? This tongue-in-cheek guide will help you identify the behaviors that make you unhappy and discover how you—and only you—are holding yourself back from a life of contentment. You’ll learn to spot the tried-and-true traps that increase feelings of dissatisfaction, foster a lack of motivation, and detract from our quality of life—as well as ways to avoid them. So, get ready to live the life you want (or not?) This fun, irreverent guide will light the way.
At age 30, Joshua Fields Millburn left his six-figure career, ditched most of his material possessions, and started focusing on life's most important aspects. Once he embraced his newfound minimalist lifestyle, he never looked back. Suffice it to say, everything has changed in Millburn's life in the last three years. After his mother died in October 2009 and his marriage ended a month later, he began questioning everything in his life: his material possessions, his career, his goals, his health, his relationships, his path in life. Soon he discovered minimalism. In the three years since the author adopted a minimalist lifestyle, he has written more than 300 essays about minimalism and intentional living. He has written about his journey, his failures, his lessons, and everything he has learned during his transformation. A Day in the Life of a Minimalist is a collection of his best, most important individual writings--rethought and edited specifically for this collection. This 208-page book contains 50 essays about living a meaningful life with less stuff, including "The Short Guide to Getting Rid of Your Crap," "The Commodification of Love," "Letting Go of Shitty Relationships," and the title essay. Collectively, these essays are purposefully organized into nine sections--lifestyle, goals, experiments, clutter, relationships, changes, philosophy, consumer culture, and work--covering a variety of topics, viewpoints, and arguments within those themes. Also included are a special forward written by Colin Wright (the man who introduced Millburn to minimalism) and an introduction by Joshua Fields Millburn, as well as two unpublished essays that can't be found anywhere else: "What If Everyone Was a Minimalist?" and "Work-Life Balance." These essays were written to encourage readers to think critically about the excess in their lives and, ultimately, to take action towards living more intentionally. This collection is short enough to be read in a few sittings, or it can be digested slowly, reading one essay a day for nearly two months, applying its principals each day to your own life.

Whilst working in a mental health setting for 30 years Mary Heath soon discovered that everyone she encountered shared a similar problem: no one appeared to have any knowledge at all of how to cope with the stress of life and its consequences. The great majority of patients had no coping skills or strategies at all. No one had been taught how to deal with stress, and many didn’t even know what stress was and why they felt so helpless, so alone and so afraid. Mary on the other hand had a very large tool box and a set of skills that helped all of them to change their lives around and become healthier and stronger in every way. Having been trained in many disciplines in the field of stress, anxiety, depression and personal development she was able to tailor an individual’s requirements, according to their specific needs. Working with a wide-ranging and extensive variety of therapies Mary taught people not just how to cope but how to really live again. Many of the techniques and therapies Mary used can be found in this book and include: The Simple Principles of the Philosophy of Yoga Pranayama--a unique sequence of breath control exercises Relaxation, Meditation and Mindfulness Stress and Anxiety Management Depression Management Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Self-Esteem and Confidence Building Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Life Coaching
Danielle Steel celebrates families of every stripe in her compelling novel—a tale of three very different couples who struggle and survive, love, laugh, and learn to take life . . . Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family. Her mother, Florence, is a mega-bestselling author. Her sister, Jane, is one of Hollywood’s top producers and has lived with her partner, Liz, for ten years in a solid, loving relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. But Coco, a law-school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for an artsy Northern California beach town. When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit for Jane, she discovers an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who’s fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn’t be more different. The attraction couldn’t be more immediate. And as Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed—some traditional, some not so traditional, but all bonded by love. With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel’s novel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples.
