Celebrate what did happen, not what didn’t, including gems such as: Did you get up this morning? Great! You’re doing an awesome job! Your kid fell asleep? Even if it was just for two hours, that’s amazing. Good job! Has your kid eaten? That’s probably your doing, so yeah, you’re a winner! The perfect gift for the growing family, You Are Doing a Great Job! is the much-needed reminder to screw all expectations and advice. It belongs on the shelf next to Go the Fu*k to Sleep and Let’s Panic About Babies. Or better yet, tear out the pages and hang them up.

What if you could become a powerful force for good in the world without moving overseas, burdening your overwhelmed family, or giving up the comforts of modern life? Chris Marlow, founder of the global advocacy organization Help One Now, once felt paralyzed in the face of global problems. They seemed too numerous, too complicated, too big—and after all, how much can one person really do?

Grit

Author: Angela Duckworth
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501111124
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 350

Book Description
In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

You’re Doing Great! (And Other Lies Alcohol Told Me)

Author: Dustin Dunbar
Publisher: LifeTree Media
ISBN: 163756032X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 118

Book Description
Everything you know about alcohol is a lie. Dustin Dunbar had it all. A beautiful wife, two sweet baby girls, a degree in psychology, and properties around the world—the building blocks of a nascent real estate empire. All the while, he happily believed every lie alcohol told him: “Real men drink.” “One drink won’t kill you.” “You’re the life of the party.” “You can’t stop.” He believed these lies and many others until it was too late. Because of his addiction, he risked everything he valued most and nearly lost everyone he cared for—until he started to figure out that most of what we experience with alcohol is completely fabricated, a big lie packaged with bright lights and big names to distract us from the truth. Dunbar calls this non-reality “the alcohol matrix,” and it took him years to break out of it and finally start enjoying a life free of alcohol addiction. Just as Holly Whitaker offered women a radical path to sobriety in her New York Times bestselling Quit Like a Woman, Dunbar combines his own experiences with his extensive background in psychology to expose the lies we all too willingly accept about alcohol and interrogates the part culture plays in reinforcing these lies, particularly for men—and shows readers how they too can break free from alcohol addiction. An inspiring, hilarious, and much-needed approach to addiction and self-acceptance, You’re Doing Great!: Debunks the myth that alcohol washes away the pain.Explains the toll alcohol takes on our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.Illustrates the steps to deal with our problems head-on.Exposes the practices used by advertisers and marketers to entrap us to drink.Proves that AA isn’t the only option for battling alcohol addiction.Teaches readers to activate skills of self-empowerment.Shows us how to enjoy an alcohol-free consciousness and an exciting new chapter in our lives. Filled with entertaining true-life tales, hard-earned wisdom, and easy-to-follow advice for recognizing the truth about alcohol, You’re Doing Great! is a powerful invitation to discover the real you that thrives on the other side of addiction.
