Collection: Self-Development

The ultimate guide for creatives of all disciplines and levels to discover a sustainable, joyful artistic practice.

Whether you are a dabbler, a career creative, or a long-time self-proclaimed "tortured artist," Dr. Merideth Hite Estevez is here to help. As a professional oboist, teacher, creative coach, graduate of The Juilliard School, and beloved host of the podcast Artists for Joy, Dr. Estevez knows the world of creatives and what they truly need to cultivate a life-giving practice. The Artist's Joy offers not only tools for the journey but a deeper understanding of the ways the miracle of creativity works in our lives.

Dr. Estevez guides artists at all levels and in all disciplines to build a creative life that resonates deeply with their core values, and to cultivate an artistic practice that is joyful and sustainable. She shares her discoveries and insightful coaching exercises that stem from the belief that when we are connected to what resonates deeply within us, the "tortured artist" trope simply doesn't hold. By looking at creative work through a new lens, she provides us a means to begin--or to begin again--in sustaining ways.

Complete with self-coaching questions, a group discussion guide, and a companion playlist with tracks for musical meditation and creative engagement, this is your guide for life as an artist that will resonate long after the last note.

Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted--and once predicted, prevented.

Unstressable illuminates for readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide readers to both heart centred and science-based solutions. They'll train readers to:

--Develop habits and attitudes of listening and learning that limit stress
--Learn the language of de-stressing mind, emotions, body and soul
--Respond, not react
--Release self-criticism, insomnia, and lethargy
--Increase energy, focus and confidence

Unstressable is a handbook for those who understand that stress isn't what happens to you; it's how you handle what happens to you. It's a practical and rounded approach to an ever increasing modern day problem.

"Robin Sharma has been an amazing mentor to me. He is a major influencer of our time."--DEEPAK CHOPRA, author of Abundance

Open this book and allow a trusted mentor to offer you valuable insights, including:

- how to become a "perfect moment" creator
- why your choice of mate is 90% of your joy
- the power of "The 10,000 Dinners Question"
- hidden habits of authentically wealthy people
- the brilliance of "going ghost" for a year

Legendary personal growth expert Robin Sharma has mentored billionaires, superstar athletes, and heads of state, teaching them The 8 Forms of Wealth Model with transformational results. Now, you will learn it, too, and create the lifetime of your highest dreams.

Full of practical tools and transformational tactics, The Wealth Money Can't Buy offers a life-changing philosophy and methodology for enjoying a genuinely rich life--filled with personal power, unusual authenticity, exceptionally fulfilling work, and a lifestyle that will make you feel that fortune has finally smiled on you.

• In a copublishing venture with Quiltfolk, the long-overdue 2nd edition of this beloved book has been released with a new introduction by internationally lauded author and curator Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi.
• It also includes 20 additional never-before-seen quilts from Kiracofe's private collection.
