Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this no-nonsense guide for men, psychologist Jonas Horwitz presents straightforward, jargon-free strategies to help you identify and overcome depression, once and for all. The damned thing about severe depression is that it takes over your brain, body, and spirit. It wants you to say to yourself, "There is nothing I can do to make myself feel better. I am helpless in the face of my problems." Even at this very moment your severe depression is whispering in your ear, "This is all bulls@#t." Your depression has lived with you for a long time, and has seldom left your side. It's relentlessly pessimistic, and wants you to believe that your misery will never end. These are the lies your depression is wanting you believe. With this unique guide, you'll learn why it's so important to take your severe depression seriously—just as you would if you had cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or any other life-threatening illness. In addition, by viewing your depression as a separate entity—The Beast—you'll discover how it tries to trick you when you are most stressed to do things that leave you feeling much more depressed. You'll also learn how changing your behavior can actually change your brain chemistry. And, most importantly, you'll find actionable solutions to put The Beast in its place so you can start feeling better now! In order to overcome your depression, you must understand its nature. This book will help you understand The Beast, stop feeding it, and take back your life.

Download or read book Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad written by Jude Morrow and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2021 Gold Living Now Award. Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? is a poignant and honest memoir detailing Jude Morrow’s journey to parenthood, and how his autism profoundly affected that journey, for both better and worse, bringing hope to all who live with autism as well as those who care for someone on the spectrum. I knew that Jupiter has seventy-nine known moons and where the swimming pool was located on the Titanic, yet I didn’t know how to connect with this beautiful child who called me “Daddy.” Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? is a candid view of life and love through the eyes of an autistic adult—who went from being a nonverbal and aggressive child to a hard working and responsible father to a non-autistic son. Growing up autistic, Jude Morrow faced immense challenges and marginalization, but he was able to successfully—though not without difficulty—finish university and transition into a successful career and eventually parenthood. Those with autism can have difficulty understanding the world around them and can find it hard to find their voice, but in this poignant and honest memoir, Jude defiantly uses his found voice to break down the misconceptions and societal beliefs surrounding autism, bringing hope to all who live with autism as well as those who care for someone on the spectrum. Jude views his autism as a gift to be shared, not a burden to be pitied, and as he demonstrates through his honest recollections and observations, autistic people’s lives can be every bit as happy and fulfilling as those not on the spectrum.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.

It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

This book was released on 101-01-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STOP wasting your TIME, ENERGY and MONEY and START seeing TRUE RESULTS! Have you been "working out" for a while but are secretly disappointed with your results? Are you only a beginner, and would like to know what's the most effective way to get your dream body? What if you could create the body of your dreams, faster than you can imagine? The health and fitness industry is generating billions of dollars every year. Yes, we spend a lot of money in order to be sexy, attractive and healthy. But the sad news is that despite the goodwill of many people, and their strong determination, most of the people DO NOT get the results they wish for. And in this book, you will learn exactly why & how to avoid wasting your time! In AxioMuscle: Stop Wasting So Much Time at the Gym (And Finally Start Seeing Some Actual Results), author Michael Allen will show you the common mistakes most people make, teaching you how to work out properly and potentially cutting YEARS from your journey to the best shape you can have! Here's what you can expect: - Understand why people spend years in the gym but still fail to get results - Discover the solution and get your desired results with minimum effort & time - Save yourself from literally wasting time and even DAMAGING your health by learning how to work out properly - Get the full picture – workouts, sleep, diet and nutrition -- And much, much more! Michael Allen has worked full-time for many years in the fitness environment in the management of a gym. After years of observing different trainers and meeting different people, he concluded that most people basically waste their time at the gym by exercising according to methods that were largely ineffective and produced no results. Q: Why should I trust this book? A: Unlike other books, fitness programs or famous fitness gurus, no one will try to upsell you in this book and make you spend more money. The fitness industry makes money from you being unhappy with your body. This book will give you pure distilled concepts, and show you how to actually do it right. Q: I've already been working out for years. What can this book possibly offer me that I don't already know? A: If you're working out for years, and still unsatisfied with your results, you should do something different. Put your ego aside, test the ideas inside this book, and see for yourself. Most people can't admit they were wrong, therefore, most people would rather stick to a workout plan that doesn't work rather than admitting that they were wrong. Don't fool yourself – read it and test it out! Q: Can this book guarantee results? A: At the end of the day, you're the one who's eating, sleeping, and working out, so it's really up to you; "guarantee" is a pretty strong word when the ball is essentially in your court. But if you DO follow this book to the letter, you can safely bet on seeing far better results than you're likely to see otherwise. Let AxioMuscle show you the way to safe, effective gym results!
