Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
The Well-Being in You: How 3 Simple Principles Can Help You Tune into Your Innate Psychological Health and Thrive is a love letter and a simple manual to manage life’s challenges and thrive in an abundance of opportunity. This book is a conversation that brings out what you already have inside. Personal and client stories and reflection questions give you ah ha moments, transforming how you feel day-to-day. By exploring well-being, you’ll be able to experience it more deeply and often, and to know what gets in the way. We all struggle at times. We get overwhelmed by decisions or lost in what feel like bigger problems. Whether you can’t shake a sense of fear, worry, anxiety or depression; or you simply want to feel better about your relationships, work, and the world, this book is your companion and guide to deeper peace-of-mind, energy, and clarity. And it doesn’t require what you might think. The Well-Being in You explains that there’s nothing you have to do but let go of what you think you know, and you can find a new baseline of well-being. Realizing that you have a psychological operating system is the quickest way to allow well-being to work for you! You will learn to: Know what well-being really is Notice you already have well-being and trust it in yourself and others Get out of your own way Use your thinking (intellect and intuition) effectively, befriend feelings, and be mindful of moods Ease into motivation, purpose, and flow How does having a new baseline of well-being feel? People are in awe of how different and limitless they can feel. For example, you’ll notice a sense of relief, calm, and okay-ness. Self-compassion and confidence become your springboard for tasks and life changes. Flow brings just-right ideas, empowering insights, and clear next steps for decisions and challenges. Resilience, worthiness, and connection—even if they previously felt impossible to achieve, are naturally yours. Your own bliss and genius lead the journey— for your benefit and the world’s. YOU ARE ALWAYS (at most) A MOMENT AWAY FROM WELL-BEING— no matter what. Well-being is yours to tap into. You just need to know how it works. Book Review 1: “This book is a breath of fresh air. There’s no ‘fixing’ to be done. Rather, the author shows how readers already have the gift of well-being within and it’s easier to access than we might imagine.” -- Dr. Andrea Jang, Acupuncture + Functional Medicine Book Review 2: “The Well-Being in You has brought more lightness and joy to my work and personal life. The results are transformative." -- Kellie Simon, Deputy Public Defender, Alameda County, California Book Review 3: “A simple, clear, and accessible way to tap into well-being and quiet the noise in your head.At a moment with an overabundance of well-being products and programs on the market, Hill’s book enlightens us with a refreshingly new perspective. Well-written, calm, and uniquely empowering- Hill is onto something great. A book that anyone would gain from reading.” -- Saroya Friedman-Gonzalez, President & CEO, Greater New York Councils, BSA

Healing Spaces
Author: Esther M. Sternberg MD
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674256832
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
“Esther Sternberg is a rare writer—a physician who healed herself...With her scientific expertise and crystal clear prose, she illuminates how intimately the brain and the immune system talk to each other, and how we can use place and space, sunlight and music, to reboot our brains and move from illness to health.”—Gail Sheehy, author of Passages Does the world make you sick? If the distractions and distortions around you, the jarring colors and sounds, could shake up the healing chemistry of your mind, might your surroundings also have the power to heal you? This is the question Esther Sternberg explores in Healing Spaces, a look at the marvelously rich nexus of mind and body, perception and place. Sternberg immerses us in the discoveries that have revealed a complicated working relationship between the senses, the emotions, and the immune system. First among these is the story of the researcher who, in the 1980s, found that hospital patients with a view of nature healed faster than those without. How could a pleasant view speed healing? The author pursues this question through a series of places and situations that explore the neurobiology of the senses. The book shows how a Disney theme park or a Frank Gehry concert hall, a labyrinth or a garden can trigger or reduce stress, induce anxiety or instill peace. If our senses can lead us to a “place of healing,” it is no surprise that our place in nature is of critical importance in Sternberg’s account. The health of the environment is closely linked to personal health. The discoveries this book describes point to possibilities for designing hospitals, communities, and neighborhoods that promote healing and health for all.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A Best Book of 2021—Bloomberg Businessweek; A Best Science Book of 2021—The Guardian; A Best Science Book of 2021—Financial Times; A Best Philosophy Book of 2021—Five Books; A Best Book of 2021—The Economist Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. What does it mean to “be you”—that is, to have a specific, conscious experience of the world around you and yourself within it? There may be no more elusive or fascinating question. Historically, humanity has considered the nature of consciousness to be a primarily spiritual or philosophical inquiry, but scientific research is now mapping out compelling biological theories and explanations for consciousness and selfhood. Now, internationally renowned neuroscience professor, researcher, and author Anil Seth is offers a window into our consciousness in BEING YOU: A New Science of Consciousness. Anil Seth is both a leading expert on the neuroscience of consciousness and one of most prominent spokespeople for this relatively new field of science. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness. Seth has been interviewed for documentaries aired on the BBC, Netflix, and Amazon and podcasts by Sam Harris, Russell Brand, and Chris Anderson, and his 2017 TED Talk on the topic has been viewed over 11 million times, a testament to his uncanny ability to make unimaginably complex science accessible and entertaining.

Me, Myself, and Us
Author: Brian R Little
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1586489682
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
How does your personality shape your life and what, if anything, can you do about it? Are you hardwired for happiness, or born to brood? Do you think you're in charge of your future, or do you surf the waves of unknowable fate? Would you be happier, or just less socially adept, if you were less concerned about what other people thought of you? And what about your "Type A" spouse: is he or she destined to have a heart attack, or just drive you to drink? In the past few decades, new scientific research has transformed old ideas about the nature of human personality. Neuroscientists, biologists, and psychological scientists have reexamined the theories of Freud and Jung as well as the humanistic psychologies of the 1960s, upending the simplistic categorizations of personality "types," and developing new tools and methods for exploring who we are. Renowned professor and pioneering research psychologist Brian R. Little has been at the leading edge of this new science. In this wise and witty book he shares a wealth of new data and provocative insights about who we are, why we act the way we do, what we can -- and can't -- change, and how we can best thrive in light of our "nature." Me, Myself, and Us explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but are as commonplace as yesterday's breakfast conversation, such as whether our personality traits are "set" by age thirty or whether our brains and selves are more plastic. He considers what our personalities portend for our health and success, and the extent to which our well-being depends on the personal projects we pursue. Through stories, studies, personal experiences, and entertaining interactive assessments, Me, Myself, and Us provides a lively, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic look at the possibilities and perils of being uniquely ourselves, while illuminating the selves of the familiar strangers we encounter, work with, and love.
