Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution
By Rainn Wilson. 2023
In this New York Times bestseller, comedic actor, producer, and writer Rainn Wilson explores the problem-solving benefits that spirituality gives…
us to create solutions for an increasingly challenging world. The trauma that our struggling species has experienced in recent years—because of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us—is not going away anytime soon. Existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a &“Soul Boom,&” to find a healing transformation on both a personal and global level For Wilson, this is a serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that, culturally, we&’ve discounted spirituality—faith and the sacred—and we need profound healing and a unifying understanding of the world that the great spiritual traditions provide. Wilson&’s approach to spirituality—the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves—is relatable and applies to people of all beliefs, even the skeptics. Filled with genuine insight—not to mention enlightening Kung Fu and Star Trek references—Soul Boom delves into ancient wisdom to seek out practical, transformative answers to life&’s biggest questions.Unlearning Shame: How Rejecting Self-Blame Culture Gives Us Real Power

'With the authentic voice I've grown to expect from Devon [...] This book articulates a feeling that has lurked in…
the dark corners of so many minds and brings it into the light where it can be faced, embraced, understood, and ultimately, healed. Stop doomscrolling and read this book. You'll feel better, I promise.' -Celeste Headlee, journalist and bestselling authorHow many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy? In today's self-blame culture, it often feels impossible not to carry shame about the choices we make and the values by which we live. When the political is so personal, and the personal is so political, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sense that we're not doing enough - maybe, even, that we're not enough. In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Systemic Shame traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures. But it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they're carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. This new, radically positive book shows us that there is no such thing as becoming "good enough" to be deserving of love; that we must claim acceptance for ourselves. Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, Unlearning Shame is a radical guide to overcoming self-blame and embracing a new culture - one where we take control of the choices we make and the future we create.2024 Random House AudioPersonality: A User's Guide

born with a particular genetic makeup and traits that are further shaped by our individual environments and life experiences, creating a personality unique to us. But at no point are we given a manual for how to use that personality in our relationships or at work, for how to make sense of the facets that create our sense of self, or for how to troubleshoot our personality if there are things we are unhappy with.Personality: A User's Guide is that missing manual. An authoritative and comprehensive guide to personality psychology, this book outlines the different building blocks of our personality, presents the many theories and models that have been argued over the years, and helps you identify where you stand on the spectrum of key traits that define us.Using this knowledge about yourself, the book also suggests ways you can better empathise with those around you who may have very different approaches to the world, and how we can all leverage our different strengths. The authors also consider the constantly developing nature of the self, and ways we can turn that to our advantage and make changes for greater success and wellbeing.Finally, the book looks at some specific questions: Can our pets be said to have their own personalities? What happens when the 'dark triad' of negative traits are dominant? And is there a future in store where we can say that an AI has a genuine personality?How to Be Curious: Ideas to make you think differently

By Bryony Gordon. 2024
Bryony Gordon presents the long-anticipated follow up to her phenomenal Number One Sunday Times Bestseller, Mad Girl.Ten years on from…
first writing about her own experiences of mental illness, Bryony Gordon still receives messages about the effects it has on people. Now perimenopausal and well into the next stage of her life, parenting an almost-adolescent, just what has that help - and that connection with other unwell people - taught Bryony about herself, and the society we live in? What has she learned, and why have her views on mental health changed so radically?

By Brandy Gillmore. 2024
AMAZON #1 BESTSELLERA captivating must-read, this book unveils the astounding hidden potential of the human mind. If you are interested…
in alternative healing, or if you have been struggling for years with your own recovery, then you will not want to miss this book.Brandy Gillmore reveals the groundbreaking research that enabled her to heal herself from a debilitating condition deemed incurable. Since then, Brandy has been able to show others how to heal themselves from a wide range of pain and illnesses and has also demonstrated mind-body healing using medical equipment. Due to unprecedented results, Brandy's work has been featured in several documentaries and docuseries. Now, for the first time, Brandy shares her research through this remarkable book so that you too can unlock the boundless potential of your own mind.In Part One, this book takes you on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Starting Brandy's accident and the disheartening news from her doctors that there was nothing anyone could do for her, it moves onto Brandy's desperate quest to find a cure, and all evidence continued to point to the mind as holding the ability to activate the body's innate self-healing mechanism. However, despite the evidence, Brandy was still skeptical. She had already tried practices like "mind over matter" meditation, and the power of belief, but none of them worked to heal her body. Furthermore, given the severity of Brandy's condition, it seemed impossible to her that her mind could heal her physical body.As Brandy delved further into medical research, she was astonished by her findings. Not only did she uncover concealed studies that vividly illustrated the mind's potential to impact on our physical body, but she also discovered scientifically documented information about the body's energy that challenged her preconceived notions about health.For example: - Did you know that people with multiple personalities can experience different illnesses in different personalities? For example, one personality may have back pain, while another may have asthma. Medical research has even documented a case of a woman who was blind in certain personalities but had normal vision in others.- Did you know that "energy" in the body is not a spiritual concept but has actually been medically documented? In fact, the medical scientist who first documented energy in the body (biophotons) in the 1920s was nominated for a Nobel Prize eleven times!As Brandy continued to explore each medical anomaly, from the placebo effect to spontaneous remission and everything in between, she was able to uncover even more obscure research and gain clarity as to what she needed to do to activate her body's self-healing mechanisms. That's when she began creating a step-by-step process. Over the years, this process has further evolved. Brandy now calls it the "GIFT method" because, as the name suggests, when we connect with our own innate ability to heal ourselves, it truly becomes a life-changing gift.In Part Two, Brandy shares this incredible step-by-step method, along with inspiring stories of individuals who have used this process of mind-body-energy healing to transform their lives and achieve self-healing. It is truly incredible what we are all capable of.Fluke: Chance, chaos, and why everything we do matters
By Brian Klaas. 2024
Want to know what chaos theory can teach us about human events? In the perspective-altering tradition of Malcolm Gladwell's The…
Tipping Point and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan comes a provocative challenge to how we think our world works—and why small, chance events can divert our lives and change everything, by social scientist and Atlantic writer Brian Klaas. If you could rewind your life to the very beginning and then press play, would everything turn out the same? Or could making an accidental phone call or missing an exit off the highway change not just your life, but history itself? And would you remain blind to the radically different possible world you unknowingly left behind? In Fluke, myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas dives deeply into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people's neat and tidy storybook version of reality. The book's argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives—and our societies—could be radically different. Offering an entirely new lens, Fluke explores how our world really works, driven by strange interactions and apparently random events. How did one couple's vacation cause 100,000 people to die? Does our decision to hit the snooze button in the morning radically alter the trajectory of our lives? And has the evolution of humans been inevitable, or are we simply the product of a series of freak accidents? Drawing on social science, chaos theory, history, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Klaas provides a brilliantly fresh look at why things happen—all while providing mind-bending lessons on how we can live smarter, be happier, and lead more fulfilling livesDevenez votre priorité!: l'importance de se choisir
