Condizione: Good. ?I have long thought that what the Buddha taught can be seen as a highly developed science of mind which, if made more accessible to a lay audience, could benefit many people. I believe that Dr. Weiss?s book, in combining such insights with science and good business practice, offers an effective mindfulness based program that many will find helpful.? --His Holiness, the Dalai LamaA practical guide to bringing our whole selves to our professional work, based on the author?s overwhelmingly popular course at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.In today?s workplace, the traditional boundaries between "work" and "personal" are neither realistic nor relevant. From millennials seeking employment in the sharing economy to Gen Xers telecommuting to Baby Boomers creating a meaningful second act, the line that separates who we are from the work we do is blurrier than ever.The truth is, we don?t show up for our jobs as a portion of ourselves?by necessity, we bring both our hearts and our minds to everything we do. In How We Work, mindfulness expert and creator of the perennially-waitlisted Stanford Business School course "Leading with Mindfulness and Compassion" Dr. Leah Weiss explains why this false dichotomy can be destructive to both our mental health and our professional success.The bad news, says Weiss, is that nothing provides more opportunities for negative emotions?anxiety, anger, envy, fear, and paranoia, to name a few?than the dynamics of the workplace. But the good news is that these feelings matter. How we feel at and about work matters?to ourselves, to the quality of our work, and ultimately to the success of the organizations for which we work.The path to productivity and success, says Weiss, is not to change jobs, to compartmentalize our feelings, or to create a false "professional" identity?but rather to listen to the wisdom our feelings offer. Using mindfulness techniques, we can learn how to attend to difficult feelings without becoming subsumed by them; we can develop an awareness of our bigger picture goals that orients us and allows us to see purpose in even the most menial tasks. In How We Work, Weiss offers a set of practical, evidence-based strategies for practicing mindfulness in the real world, showing readers not just how to survive another day, but how to use ancient wisdom traditions to sharpen their abilities, enhance their leadership and interpersonal skills, and improve their satisfaction.This research-backed guide delivers proven strategies to reclaim your focus and career satisfaction:Purposeful Work: Discover how to find deep meaning in your daily tasks and align your career with what truly matters, transforming your relationship with your job.Compassionate Leadership: Learn to use self-compassion to prevent burnout and extend empathy to colleagues, building stronger, more resilient teams.Actionable Mindfulness Techniques: Master simple, evidence-based exercises from Dr. Weiss?s celebrated Stanford course to manage workplace stress and enhance focus.Essential Soft Skills: Develop the critical interpersonal and emotional intelligence abilities that modern businesses demand but rarely teach, giving you a durable professional advantage.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Rain has taken care of Ethan all of their lives. Before she even knew what autism meant, she was her twin brother's connection to the world around him. Each day with Ethan is unvarying and predictable, and Rain takes comfort in being the one who holds their family together. It's nice to be needed-to be the center of someone's world.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. A lush, gripping, psychologically complex novel that asks: How much do siblings owe one another? At the edge of a woods, on the grounds of a defunct free school, Ava and her brother, Fred, share a dreamy and seemingly idyllic childhood--a world defined largely by their imaginations, a celebration of curiosity and the natural environment, and each other's presence. Their parents, progressive educators, believe passionately that children develop best without formal instruction or societal constraint. Everyone is aware of Fred's oddness--the word autism is whispered--but his parents' fierce disapproval of labels keeps him free of clinical evaluation, diagnosis, or intervention, and constantly at Ava's side. Decades later, Fred is arrested for a shocking crime, and Ava is frantic to piece together the story of what actually happened. A boy is dead. Fred is held in a county jail. But could he really have done what he's accused of? By now their parents are long gone, and the siblings have fallen out of touch, which causes Ava considerable guilt. Who is left to reach Fred? To explain him and his innocence to the world? Convinced that she alone can ensure he is regarded with sympathy, Ava tells their enthralling story. A writer of enormous craft, Leah Hager Cohen brings her trademark intelligence and storytelling to a psychologically gripping, richly ambiguous novel that suggests we may ultimately understand one another best not with facts alone, but through our imaginations.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Like many good fables, this story opens with a child left in the woods. A large lizard picks up the infant and takes her home, where she soon grows into a pretty, pampered, and generally useless young woman named Isabella. Despite her adoptive mother's efforts (for the lizard is really a witch in disguise) to shape her up, the girl prefers the alluring life offered her by the charming Prince Rupert, a world of cooks and servants, palaces and jewels, luxury and indolence. Luckily, the witch is a canny, concerned parent. She does not suffer fools lightly and is not about to let her daughter's too-easy transition to palace life go unchallenged. And so she arranges a surprise transformation for her daughter one that puts the prince's marital plans on hold and gives the witch just enough time to hammer home a few lessons about the downside of idleness.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Taylor Wayland's cozy life of happiness with her husband Joseph and their three children wasn't the only thing that was going well. She had a beautiful home, longtime friends, good health and prosperity; things that made her life seem picturesque. But in spite of all this good fortune, it didn't deter her selfish passions to fill a void. In search of what she saw as a deeper sense of self, she gave in to her carnal thirst for an old flame, her husband's best friend. At the height of their indiscretions, their tryst is revealed, but is immediately overshadowed by a shocking misfortune involving another friend in their inner circle. In this book, the reader is taken on Taylor's exploration of masking her indiscretions, while grievously including everyone close to her. Taylor's betrayals intertwined with her evolution as a wife, friend and uninhibited lover soon reach a hard-won outcome. It reveals that her vision of a perfect life, would travel along a broken and much less than perfect road. And in receipt of this life, she'll lose just as much as she'll gain.…
