Download or read book This Book Won t Make You Happy written by Niro Feliciano and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people find out she is a therapist, Niro Feliciano knows she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. At soccer games, at cocktail parties, in waiting rooms, people corner her and ask: Why am I so stressed? Is the way I feel normal? Why can't I just be happy? The truth is happiness is fleeting, and we are stressing ourselves out trying to achieve it. In This Book Won't Make You Happy, national media commentator and Psychology Today columnist Feliciano offers a path to something much more achievable and abundantly more satisfying: contentment. By incorporating eight simple postures rooted in cognitive behavioral science and mindfulness practices into our daily routines, we can move away from anxiety and toward balance and calm. Acceptance, gratitude, connection, a present-focused perspective, intentionality and priority, self-compassion, resilience, and faith: through these practices we will overcome obstacles that hold us back from living full, meaningful, contented lives. Anxiety, stress, and grief aren't going away anytime soon, and this book won't make you happy. But with wit and empathy, Feliciano leads you right past happy to calm. No matter how "happy" your life is--or isn't--you can reach a deeper, truer, and longer-lasting place of contentment.

Download or read book Semiotics of Happiness written by Ashley Frawley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Semiotics of Happiness examines the rise of 'happiness' (and its various satellite terminologies) as a social and political semiotic, exploring its origins in the US and subsequent spread into the UK and across the globe. The research takes as its starting point the development of discussions about happiness in UK newspapers in which dedicated advocates began to claim that a new 'science of happiness' had been discovered and argued for social and political change on its behalf. Through an in-depth analysis of the written and visual rhetoric and subsequent activities of these influential 'claims-makers', Frawley argues that happiness became a serious political issue not because of a growing unhappiness in society nor a demand 'on the ground' for new knowledge about it, but rather because influential and dedicated 'insiders' took the issue on at a cultural moment when problems cast in emotional terms were particularly likely to make an impact. Emerging from the analysis is the observation that, while apparently positive and light-hearted, the concern with happiness implicitly affirms a 'vulnerability' model of human functioning, encourages a morality of low expectations, and in spite of the radical language used to describe it, is ultimately conservative and ideally suited to an era of 'no alternative' (to capitalism).

Book excerpt: Nothing ever stays calm in Possum Creek for long. After watching her husband make-out with another woman during her best friend's wedding, Katie has been forced to acknowledge that her own happily ever after is more like a B-rated horror movie than a fairy tale. Katie loves her daughter more than life itself, but she's pretty sure that Ian loves his Xbox more than he loves either one of them. Addison, the man Katie's been secretly in love with from the safety of the friend-zone for most of her adult life, thinks she's pathetic. At least, that's what his girlfriend told her. Katie doesn't know what her future holds, but she knows it's past time for a change. She's done wasting her life trying to please Ian while silently lusting after Addy. She's ready to move on and leave her feelings for both of them in the past. Addison Malone thinks the dust has finally settled after his sister's wedding. He couldn't be more wrong. The evidence in a rash of burglaries that have struck Possum Creek and the surrounding area make it apparent that he and his friends are being betrayed by someone they've always considered one of their own. When Katie makes it clear that she's ready to walk away from him forever, Addison is left scrambling to fix their relationship while he's still trying to get to the bottom of the crime spree.

Download or read book Dig Deeper written by Julian Hill and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a mega anthology for real curvy BBWs, busty BBWs, mega pear BBWs, real BBW players, BBW players, and true BBW admirers. This book is comprised of four major sections: BBW Drama, Busty BBWs: A Conversation, From an Admirers Perspective, and Topics from BBW Social Media Groups Pt. 1. BBW Drama consists of the Dear Maggie Issues, which are comparable to Dear Sally when you think about how the various concerns of real curvy BBWs are submitted to an online columnist. She responds with sincerity and thought-provoking answers that should be taken into consideration. The personal stories are ones from the hearts of real and curvy larger women speaking honestly to one of their own. Busty BBWs: A Conversation is a comparison guide to David Martin Hilfigers Loving the Natural Big Boobs Goddess: A Secret Look into the Pro Busty, Anti Thin, Anti Breast Reduction Culture. Keep in mind that Mr. Hilfiger was primarily speaking about busty women in general mainly with the exclusion of busty BBWs. So this particular piece focuses on busty BBWs of all kinds, specifically comparing and contrasting some of the viewpoints made by Hilfiger. An interesting section indeed. From an Admirers Perspective contains various original topics that are based on Pay Day's experiences as a stacked BBW admirer. Learn for yourself whats really going on in the curvy BBW world. Topics from BBW Social Media Groups are many subjects discussed normally throughout the global plus-size community, especially among friends, lovers, and potential mates. Read and really hear what others have to say regarding the same questions you have had in the past or will have in the future. This is for stacked BBWs, stacked big girls, plus-size women, plus-size divas, real curvy BBWs, black BBWs, white BBWs, Hispanic BBWs, Middle Eastern BBWs, Native American BBWs, worldwide BBWs, real BBW players, real players, BBW players, BBW admirers of all kinds, and the global plus-size community.

Download or read book A Layman s Daily Devotional written by Curt Donahue and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Layman's Daily Devotional was written by a layman for laypeople of all ages. It is mostly devoid of theological terms, so it is easier for the average person to understand. There are applicable illustrations to help people comprehend the message from Scripture and its application to the message of the day. There is a devotion for every day of the year, and several devotions for specific days in the Christian calendar, as well as for days on which we honor both mothers and fathers. The reader will likely gain a closer relationship with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through daily use and may also develop a closer relationship with family members when used as a family devotion. The changing and challenging circumstances in our world today require closer relationships with both God and family. A Layman's Daily Devotional lends itself to development of both relationships. With few exceptions, each devotion is a stand-alone devotion. This book would make a meaningful gift to a young person venturing out on their own, who could develop the habit early of spending time each day with God, which is always a good way to start every day. A Layman's Daily Devotional is written such that it can be used year after year throughout one's life.

Book excerpt: This Naked Mind has ignited a movement across the country, helping thousands of people forever change their relationship with alcohol. Many people question whether drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and worry that it may even be affecting their health. But, they resist change because they fear losing the pleasure and stress-relief associated with alcohol, and assume giving it up will involve deprivation and misery. This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution. Here, Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological components of alcohol use based on the latest science, and reveals the cultural, social, and industry factors that support alcohol dependence in all of us. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, this book will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture, and how the stigma of alcoholism and recovery keeps people from getting the help they need. With Annie’s own extraordinary and candid personal story at its heart, this book is a must-read for anyone who drinks. This Naked Mind will give you freedom from alcohol. It removes the psychological dependence so that you will not crave alcohol, allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). With clarity, humor, and a unique blend of science and storytelling, This Naked Mind will open the door to the life you have been waiting for. “You have given me my live back.” —Katy F., Albuquerque, New Mexico “This is an inspiring and groundbreaking must-read. I am forever inspired and changed.” —Kate S., Los Angeles, California “The most selfless and amazing book that I have ever read.” —Bernie M., Dublin, Ireland

Download or read book WISEgenerosity written by Christopher Gabriel and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question was, “What am I supposed to do in life?” The answer: “Be generous.” Think about the most successful people you know—those with wealth, power, and status. Are they happy? Are they enlightened? Are they fulfilled? Maybe . . . and maybe not. Sometimes, the glitz of a social media façade hides a lonely, unfilled, and unrewarding life. Chances are, the happiest, most grateful, and most graceful people you know are the ones who have prioritized more than simple “success.” Instead, these are the women and men who have chosen a different path—an others-first perspective that prioritizes giving over self-gratification and self-promotion. And not just generosity—WISEgenerosity. In this landmark work, Chris Gabriel presents the guidebook on generosity for the modern age. Forgoing outdated and superficial assumptions about vague, undirected, merely “feel-good” giving, Chris brings laser focus to generosity that is W.I.S.E.: Well-grounded Inspired Satisfying Effective Filled with practical instruction, uplifting stories, challenging self-examination exercises, and detailed models, WISEgenerosity cuts through the confusion surrounding why to give, how to give, what to give, when to give, and where to give. Then, it takes you by the hand and walks you down a thoughtful, proven path to a purposeful and productive life—your best life—with generosity that is meaningful and effective for both the giver and the receiver. This is WISEgenerosity.
