Všetci zápasíme s pochybnosťami, neistotou a obavami z toho, ako zvládame svoj osobný život, vzťahy či prácu. Mnohí tieto negatívne myšlienky povýšia na presvedčenie. Cítia, že svoje emócie nemajú pod kontrolou. Práve naopak, emócie ovládajú ich. Susan David, uznávaná psychologička z Harvardovej univerzity, predstavuje spôsob, ako zvládať životné výzvy s otvorenou mysľou a dosiahnuť ciele, po ktorých túžite. Vychádza z viac ako 20-ročného výskumu a skúseností z praxe. Zistila, že aj najšťastnejší ľudia čelia rovnakým obavám a prekážkam ako ktokoľvek iný. Rozdiel je iba v tom, že sa naučili odpútať od neužitočných vzorcov myslenia a správania a dokážu so svojimi emóciami pracovať. Ak však ľudia svoje emócie ignorujú, uviaznu na mieste a nedokážu sa pohnúť ďalej – bez ohľadu na to, akí sú inteligentní, odolní či kreatívni. Emočná svižnosť je proces, ktorý vám umožní prispôsobiť sa novým okolnostiam a žiť naplno. Objavte praktické nástroje, ako prekonať neistotu a reagovať na životné výzvy s rešpektom k svojim emóciám a hodnotám.

A tender, funny, illustrated memoir about anxiety and self-acceptance from the artist behind @haleydrewthis Anxiety has been glued to Haley Weaver's side since she was a child. Like most people, Weaver saw the constant what-ifs and worst-case scenarios that Anxiety whispered in her ear as an obstacle to her happiness. Maybe she could dump her anxiety at her therapist's office, or send it on a trip far, far away-anything to get rid of it for good. But over time she realized anxiety's true intention: to keep her safe. Could she learn to let it do its job but also figure out how to live without constant worry and fear? This full-color, illustrated memoir stars Haley and Anxiety (as themselves) and showcases their complicated but ultimately uplifting relationship. It also introduces readers to the helpful (and not-so-helpful) coping mechanisms Haley relies on to soften the edges of her mental health issues. There's the Distractor, who wears a bright red boa and encourages Haley to avoid uncomfortable feelings by scrolling the Internet, the Liar, who teaches Haley the pillars of a good fib in order to survive at the middle school lunch table, and even the Partier, who gives Haley a social life in college but also lands her in the ER. From detailing her first unsupervised birthday party as a preteen to exploring the overwhelming life transitions as an adult, Give Me Space but Don't Go Far brings to life the pivotal moments of Haley's life and illuminates the lesson she's learned: With care, practice, and sound strategies, we can learn to coexist with our anxiety-and maybe even love it.

Five-star bread and pastry recipes, and a tale of adventure, from an iconic East Coast bakery. A good loaf of bread has the power to bring—and keep—people together, wherever they may be. In a journey that started in Belgrade amid the beginnings of war, and continued in America, four friends tested this philosophy to the extreme: They began a new life and opened a tiny bakery together on Cape Cod. Working hectic, twenty-four-hour days, while living all together in a loft above their business and making it all up as they went along, the founders of Pain D’Avignon quickly became one of the first highly acclaimed purveyors of artisanal bread in the Northeast. For thirty years Pain D’Avignon has been pursuing excellence in the art of the bread making inspired by the old-world methods while partnering with New York’s top chefs to bring a five-star bread to our everyday life. As a baker who had an unorthodox bread education, Uliks Fehmiu has learned over time that practice and patience are the most important parts of the journey, and here he shares this important lesson with home bakers everywhere, while giving them an accessible, step-by-step primer on mastering the fundamentals. With 60 recipes, including their iconic Cape Cod–inspired Cranberry and Pecan Bread, Classic Sourdough, Thyme Baguette with a Touch of Lemon, and Plum Galette with Pistachio Paste, The Pain D’Avignon Baking Book is a tried-and-true collection of must-make breads and pastries, with extraordinary and immersive storytelling. It is a celebration of bread, of perseverance, and of baking with heart and purpose.

A bold new plant-based plan that challenges popular keto and paleo diets, from an award-winning gastroenterologist. The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or Dr. B, illuminates in this groundbreaking book, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show—and what Dr. B preaches with his patients—is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plants. Forget about the fiber your grandmother used to take—the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss, repair leaky gut, strengthen the microbiome, optimize the immune system, reduce food sensitivities, lower cholesterol, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve brain function, and even prevent cancer. Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need, weaken the microbes, and make our system vulnerable. As a former junk-food junkie, Dr. B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained. Fiber-rich, real foods—with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes—start working quickly and maintain your long-term health, promote weight loss, and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out. With a 28-day jumpstart program with menus and more than 65 recipes, along with essential advice on food sensitivities, Fiber Fueled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health today.
