one partner? Babs Kirby's 21st Century Star Signs will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about you, your lover, father, daughter , boss and even today's A-list celebrities, in this, the most modern, in-depth astrological portrait for the 21st century. Taking up where the massive bestseller Linda Goodman's Sun Signs left off, Babs takes a completely contemporary, zeitgeisty approach that's compassionate, intelligent and, above all, revealing.21st Century Star Signs reflects and embraces today's sensibilities and values looking at the way we function in sexual relationships - whether they're heterosexual, metrosexual, gay (or otherwise-), in work - with all it's ever-changing technologies and opportunities and in our homelife in which single parents, serial monogomists and stay-at-home fathers are now the norm. A chapter is dedicated to each sign, giving an in-depth portrait which will reveal every aspect of the sign including both positive and negative aspects, bringing hidden motivations, sexual proclivities and characteristics to the fore and showing how different signs will thrive under certain circumstance, how to nurture one's positive influences and how best to recognise, relate to and deal with other signs -with all their strengths and weaknesses.12 Birds to Save Your Life: Nature's Lessons in Happiness

Par Sharon Salzberg. 2017
Merging the insights of inspiring voices with her own understanding of mindfulness, New York Times bestselling author Sharon Salzberg shows…
us how we can recover from the emotional effects of crisis.When confronted with pain and obstacles, we often shrink back and contract out of fear and disappointment. That can become a way of life.In Real Life, Sharon Salzberg lets us know it doesn’t have to be that way.When we feel alone, cut off, or trapped, we can let those difficulties steer us onto a path toward an authentic, flourishing life—living in a way that allows us to find the wholeness that lies within. Even when we’re alone, a sense of community can accompany us through the stormy times. Our words, hearts, and actions can line up with a larger vision, rather than the smaller views our anxious, fearful thoughts arouse in us.To live in a less constricted way—with a more spacious, open sense of possibility, creativity, connection, and joy—Salzberg says we need to get real about what’s most important, to ask ourselves, “What do I most deeply yearn for?” “What would I benefit from letting go of?” “What do I believe is possible for me?”We accomplish the journey to expansive freedom (Real Life) through developing tools like mindful awareness, friendship, and a greater sense of purpose/aspiration. We learn to:• take some risks with what we dare to imagine• take an interest in internal states we might normally try to avoid• take an interest in people we might normally try to avoidReal Life is about the journey we make when we decide to live the life that speaks to our innermost longing to live free.Becoming an Academic Writer: 50 Exercises for Paced, Productive, and Powerful Writing

adulthood, and embracing your inner dork: "a hilarious, must-read permission slip to be 100% you" (Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author). What does it take to grow up cool and popular, master adulthood, fast track your success, and always be your best? Laura Belgray wouldn&’t know.

Let&’s face it: we&’re all tired of shame-spiraling after being told what to do when we know we&’re not going to do any of it.Tough Titties is one big permission slip to be a dork, a sometimes-unspiritual slacker, a late bloomer and, ultimately, 100% yourself. It&’ll also have you snort-laughing in public and tapping whoever&’s nearby to say, &“Lemme read you one more part!&” Which is annoying, but tough titties.Think Remarkable: 9 Paths to Transform Your Life and Make a Difference

For generations, in response to systemic racism, Black women and African American culture created the persona of the Strong Black Woman, a woman who, motivated by service and sacrifice, handles, manages, and overcomes any problem, any obstacle. The syndrome calls on Black women to be the problem-solvers and chief caretakers for everyone in their lives―never buckling, never feeling vulnerable, and never bothering with their pain.Hidden mental health crisis of anxiety and depression. To be a Black woman in America is to know you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, your value is consistently questioned, and even being “twice as good” is often not good enough. Consequently, Black women disproportionately experience anxiety and depression. Studies now conclusively connect racism and mental health―and physical health.Take care of your emotional health. You deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love. More and more young Black women are re-examining the Strong Black Woman syndrome and engaging in self-care practices that change their lives.Hear stories of Black women who:Asked for helpBuilt lives that offer healingLearned to accept healingIf you have read The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, The Racial Healing Handbook, or Black Fatigue, The Strong Black Woman is your next read.
