"Don't mistake being busy for being productive! Create time to read this important book and start spending your time where…
it counts." Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1 bestselling authorHow we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. We achieve our goals when we ruthlessly prioritise tasks and people that are important to us.This book is for you if: · You feel unrelentingly busy and overwhelmed. · 3pm arrives and you've not done any of the tasks you intended. · When you're not working, you're still 'on' - checking emails and always thinking about what you haven't done. · You over-commit and find it hard to say no. · You sacrifice your own priorities for disorganised people's urgent demands. · Meetings, emails, and constant interruptions suck the life out of you. · Your HR department's emails about wellness week are the final straw: meditation won't help your wellbeing, less meetings would.If we focus our time, energy and attention on the wrong things we will never achieve the success or happiness that we aspire to. The problem is that the low value, low impact tasks that distract us from our priorities, are hard to ignore. They scream out at us all day: digital distractions, other people's urgent demand for 'five minutes' that's never five minutes, the meetings that you shouldn't be in, the pointless email chains, the reports you write that don't get read. We get a hit from ticking these tasks off a list. It's got us hooked on crazy busyness. But all we are doing is scratching off a layer of fake work on top of the real, valuable work.The Crazy Busy Cure is full of intensely practical tips to save you from this addiction and get productive again. It will show you how to have a laser focus on your priorities, manage others so they can get on with the work and find more head space. With tips for remote working and office working alike as well as productivity hacks for people with learning and thinking differences, this lively read is jam packed with solutions.Zena Everett is executive coach and organisational psychologist and draws from her many thousands of hours and coaching and speaking to people about productivity blockers and how to shift them. Stay energised, find your freedom from distractions and regain your productivity.

Williams, author and journalist Stylist&’s Must Read Book for 2022 Evening Standard&’s Faces to Watch in 2022 Do you have a story that you are scared to tell? A story that you&’ve spent your life trying to escape. I&’m going to tell you mine. One day, in the summer of 2008, I was travelling back to London when I received a phone call that suddenly changed everything. I was told my boyfriend Richard was in hospital. He died seven days later. I spent most of my twenties pretending this never happened. I was trapped within my own silence, left alone to absorb the discomfort, blame and judgement of others that I felt after Richard&’s suicide. I was suffering, but telling everyone that I was totally fine. The shame consumed me and I desperately wanted to find love again, but the rejection and heartbreak that followed proved to me, yet again, that I wasn&’t worthy of love and belonging. In our twenties, we are thrown into the adult world without a guidebook. I experienced a turbulent decade with what felt like catastrophic failures. Then one day, I started to speak about my shame, and once I started, I couldn&’t stop. And I&’ve come to realise that shame is like a monster – one that can grow so large that it can hold us back from a life worth living. And that it is only by sharing our stories that we can give a voice to what is unspoken. A voice to the stories that we don&’t want to tell. So whatever pain you&’re holding on to, whatever story you&’re scared to tell, I&’m writing this for you. &‘I wish I'd had this book to guide me into adulthood.&’ Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland and The Boy with the Topknot &‘Will go a long way to helping those struggling with the stigma and shame that, sadly, persistently surrounds mental health.&’ Vicky Spratt, Refinery29

La astrología es tu mejor aliada para descubrir los miedos inconscientes que bloquean tus relaciones y conseguir el amor que…
mereces. Identifica tus patrones lunares, sánalos y abre las puertas al buen amor. ¿Te has preguntado por qué algunas personas encuentran pareja enseguida y otras no lo consiguen ni a tiros? Hay quien lo achaca a la mala suerte, pero la realidad es que muchos de nosotros vamos cargados de miedos inconscientes que nos bloquean y hacen que repitamos patrones hasta la saciedad y topemos siempre con el mismo tipo de personas. En astrología, la posición de la luna en nuestra carta natal, nos ayuda a entender cómo nos relacionamos, desvela las heridas infantiles que arrastramos y cómo vivimos el primer amor: el de la madre (o persona equivalente), modelo que repetiremos en todos nuestros vínculos. Existen doce posibles patrones lunares, doce miedos inconscientes que definen como nos relacionamos. Tomar consciencia de ellos, y también de los planetas con los que interactúan, es imprescindible para, si nos conviene, cambiarlos y acceder a buenas relaciones, en las que nadie sane a nadie, sino que ambos miembros de la pareja formen un equipo.
