Collection: Self-Development

"For most of us," writes Anna Borges, "self-care is a wide spectrum of decisions and actions that soothe and fortify us against all the shit we deal with." You may already practice some form of self-care, whether it's taking an extra-long shower after a stressful day, splurging on a fancy dinner, or choosing Netflix over that friend-of-a-friend's birthday party. But when life gets so overwhelming that you want to stay in bed, some more radical care is crucial to maintain your sanity.

The More or Less Definitive Guide to Self-Care is here to help you exist in the world. Borges gathers over 200 tips, activities, and stories (from experts and everyday people alike) into an A-to-Z list--from asking for help and burning negative thoughts to the importance of touch and catching some Zzz's. Make any day a little more OK with new skills in your self-care toolkit--and energy to show up for yourself.

No one individual is immune from becoming affected by a narcissist's reality. Those most likely to become victims are children of narcissistic parents and anyone else who trusts their agenda(s). Along with triangulation, this is addressed throughout the book and specifically addressing the qualities in people whom the narcissist targets.

discovered many of her patients who struggled with anxiety and depression had significant relationships with, or exposure to a

narcissist. The themes of trauma, brokenness, low self-esteem, and self-loathing (among other crippling emotions) can and do often

had a close emotional relationship with a narcissist often experience feelings of psychosis in that they feel as if they are going crazy.

A Zen study wrapped in a memoir of destruction and healing written by an elite ultrarunner as she struggles to make it to the other side of a life-shattering injury with her sanity, and her marriage, intact

After flipping her raft days away from help on a trip down the remote Salmon River, Katie Arnold's shattered leg tests both her spirit and her marriage for years to come. It also reignites her meditation practice and motivates her to dive into Zen in search of healing. Before the accident, Katie was an elite ultrarunner with a simmering but adequate marriage who avoided being indoors whenever possible. But who is she afterwards?

In the midst of hardship, Katie turns for support to the Zen practice she had long dabbled in. Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World is a Zen study wrapped in a memoir that tells the story of a search for stillness by a woman born for wildness. Spanning roughly two years, from shortly before the accident through the long, uncertain healing of both leg and marriage, it is a personal narrative of that tumultuous time nested inside meditations on Zen.

Having gone from a reluctant spiritualist to a Zen practitioner over the course of a decade, Katie Arnold offers unique company for those seeking nature's exquisite highs as well as for creatives, spiritualists, and sensualists who want to slow down and examine the possibilities of a well-lived life. As the late Japanese master Shunryu Suzuki wrote, "Sometimes a flashing will come through the dark sky." These brief flashings are enlightenment--moments when we suddenly feel as if we're part of everything, and everything's part of us. This book is about how to experience the flashings when they come, and about what they mean for how we live our lives.

Why Celebrities Swear by These 15 Powerful Techniques As The Secret to Anything You Want in Life

Do you easily complain or start nagging whenever something isn't going your way?

Do you give fault and make others responsible for your misery?

Are you annoyed looking around seeing others having exactly what you want in life?

Believe it or not, you are the driver of your own life and no one else can steal your seat...if you don't let them.

What if there were straight-forward, easy principles to get everything you want in life?

Maybe you already manifest regularly or you've heard of it, but never consciously tried it. Using manifestation means using the power of your thoughts, feelings, or beliefs to bring something into your physical reality.

At first, it sounds abstract, but science has proven, everything is made of energy objects, animals, thoughts, and humans.

There are laws that control how this energy flows and where it goes just as there are laws of gravity and laws of growth. The more you know about these laws the easier it is to navigate the energy you need in the right direction.

No wonder that even stars like Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey, and Lady Gaga swear by manifestation as the secret to their success.

Jim Carrey makes it sound really simple. He says: "As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and then working towards it while letting go of how it comes to pass."

Yet, there are reasons why some people are better at manifesting than others.

There are a couple of fundamentals you need to understand in order to apply manifestation effectively. With a little guidance and the right techniques, your best life is waiting for you.

This is only a select sample of what you'll discover in The Magic of Manifesting

• Flap or Fab: Why you should care about manifestation more than you think
• The scientific secret behind changing your reality
• Why you might be manifesting your misery and how to avoid these common mistakes
• The smartest and most powerful way to attract anything you want in life
• Is everything connected? Essentials about energy, flow, and connection
• 15 techniques to guarantee your manifestation success story
• The #1 mental exercise Olympians and star athletes practice daily to increase their performance
• Intention vs. goals: The major difference and which is best to achieve success in life
• The biggest money lie revealed and how to create true abundance
• Warning Signs that you have a scarcity mindset and how to get rid of it

And much more.

If you think "manifesting" is just another 2024 buzzword, then you haven't heard the success stories of millions of people who made their dreams come true with this one powerful tool.

Stop waiting for life to happen to you and start creating your best life right now.

Buddha declared that, "The mind is everything. What you think you become." "You become what you think about all day long" is how Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed it.

In The Strangest Secret, the only personal development recording ever to receive a Gold Record, Earl Nightingale reveals that the secret is "You become what you think about."

Using that principle, you can create an entirely different world than you live in today. Bruce Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 with $100 in his pocket and the idea he often quoted that "As you think, you become." By the time of his early death a scant 14 years later, he had become a major motion picture icon and the father of mixed martial arts.

Your subconscious mind is responsible for just about every major thing in your life. You don't have to consciously think about breathing, your heart beating, walking, or how to properly digest and metabolize the food you eat.

Without the cooperation of your subconscious -- the deep recesses of your inner self -- change can be difficult to impossible. You might consciously have tried to lose weight. But if your subconscious mind was fixated on fattening food and how difficult exercise was, the experience was probably a challenge or a dismal failure. Therefore, changing one or more aspects of your life can't occur until you affect change on your subconscious.

In You Become What You Think About: How Your Mind Creates The World You Live In, Vic Johnson will take you step-by-step as he shows you how to harness and use the power of directed thought in your life.
