Life in three dimensions : how curiosity, exploration, and experience make a fuller, better life / by Oishi, Shigehiro,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From one of our foremost psychologists, a trailblazing new book turns the idea of a good life on its head and urges us to embrace the transformative power of variety and experience. For many people, a good life is a stable life, a comfortable life that follows a well-trodden path. This is the case for Shigehiro Oishi's father, who has lived in a small mountain town in Japan for his entire life, putting his family's needs above his own, like his father and grandfather before him. But is a happy life, or even a meaningful life, also a good life? In Life in Three Dimensions, Shige Oishi enters into a debate that has animated psychology since 1984, when Ed Diener (Oishi's mentor) published a paper that launched happiness studies. A rival followed in 1989 with a model of a good life that focused on purpose and meaning instead. In recent years, Shige Oishi's award-winning work has proposed a third dimension to a good life: psychological richness, a new concept that prioritizes curiosity, exploration, and a variety of experiences that help us grow as people. Life in Three Dimensions explores the shortcomings of happiness and meaning as guides to a good life, pointing to complacency and regret as a "happiness trap" and narrowness and misplaced loyalty as the downside of a life of meaning. Psychological richness, Oishi proposes, balances the other two, offering insight and growth spurred by new experiences and changes in perspective. Psychological richness, Oishi writes, can come in the form of anything from a spur-of-the-moment lunch date to travel, immersion in the arts, a move, new relationships, and more dramatic life changes. Drawing on studies and examples from life and literature, Oishi shows how anyone can use the three core dimensions -- happiness, meaning, and psychological richness -- to build a fuller, more satisfying life"--

Anticancer living : transform your life and health with the mix of six / by Cohen, Lorenzo,author.; Jefferies, Alison,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An evidence-based plan to reduce cancer risk and support treatment, featuring six pillars of lifestyle change to support health and well-being. Most patients (and many doctors) do not realize that changes in our daily choices and habits can reduce cancer risk; and improve quality of life, increase the chances of survival, and aid in the healing process for those with cancer. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence and a clinical trial developed at the MD Anderson Cancer Center with David Servan-Schreiber, author of Anticancer: A New Way of Life, Cohen and Jefferies offer a prescriptive plan for optimizing health and thriving after a cancer diagnosis. Social and emotional support, stress management, sleep, exercise, diet, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins each play an independent role, but working together promote an optimal environment for health and well-being. The synergy created by the Mix of Six can radically transform your health, delay or prevent you or your loved ones from ever getting cancer, support conventional treatments for cancer patients, and significantly improve quality of life - as many testimonies and stories of those in the anticancer community eloquently show. David Servan-Schreiber's Anticancer introduced a revolutionary way to understand and confront cancer. Now Anticancer Living offers a way to further put those principles into daily practice"--

The joy of well-being : a practical guide to a happy, healthy, and long life / by Wachob, Colleen,author.; Wachob, Jason,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In this empowering and accessible collection of health and wellness advice, the co-founders of mindbodygreen challenge our definition of wellness, health, and self-improvement by revealing what a healthy lifestyle looks like at the fundamental level-and it's not what we think. What does a healthy lifestyle actually look like on the most fundamental level? Across the board, there's so much pressure to pick a health identity to define us. But that's not the reality of how health works. There is no "one size fits all" solution to being healthy, and there are countless studies that support this point of view when it comes to what you eat, your mental health, and how you choose to live. The only universal principle is that you have got to be happy: happy with the choices you are making, happy with the life you are living, and those choices need to work with your body to promote your somatic needs for happiness. Happiness and Healthiness go hand in hand, and who couldn't use a little more of both these days? In The Joy of Well-Being, co-founders of mindbodygreen, one of the largest wellness lifestyle websites, Colleen and Jason Wachob help us tap into the health we already have and guide us through making intentional choices about the life we live today. We're encouraged to make health choices that are right for us as we learn to embrace intentionalism--a way of seeing our health that informs what wellbeing means to us in what we eat, how we sleep, how we breathe, how we take care of our mental health, and every other dimension of our lives"--

Saving time : discovering a life beyond the clock / by Odell, Jenny(Multimedia artist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Our daily experience, dominated by the corporate clock that so many of us contort ourselves to fit inside, is destroying us. It wasn't built for people, it was built for profit. This is a book that tears open the seams of reality as we know it-the way we experience time itself-and rearranges it, reimagining a world not centered around work, the office clock, or the profit motive. Explaining how we got to the point where time became money, Odell offers us new models to live by-inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological, and geological time-that make a more humane, more hopeful way of living seem possible. In this dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful reframing of time, Jenny Odell takes us on a journey through other temporal habitats. As planet-bound animals, we live inside shortening and lengthening days, alongside gardens growing, birds migrating, and cliffs eroding. The stretchy quality of waiting and desire, the way the present may suddenly feel marbled with childhood memory, the slow but sure procession of a pregnancy, or the time it takes to heal from injuries-physical or emotional. Odell urges us to become stewards of these different rhythms of life, to imagine a life, identity, and source of meaning outside of the world of work and profit, and to understand that the trajectory of our lives-or the life of the planet-is not a foregone conclusion. In that sense, "saving" time-recovering its fundamentally irreducible and inventive nature-could also mean that time saves us"--

How to navigate life : the new science of finding your way in school, career, and beyond / by Liang, Belle,author.; Klein, Timothy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An essential guide to tackling what students, families, and educators can do now to cut through stress and performance pressure, and find a path to purpose. Today's college-bound kids are stressed, anxious, and navigating demands in their lives unimaginable to a previous generation. They're performance machines, hitting the benchmarks they're "supposed" to in order to reach the next tier of a relentless ladder. Then, their mental and physical exhaustion carries over right into first jobs. What have traditionally been considered the best years of life have become the beaten-down years of life. Belle Liang and Timothy Klein devote their careers both to counseling individual students and to cutting through the daily pressures to show a better way, a framework, and set of questions to find kids' "true north": what really turns them on in life, and how to harness the core qualities that reveal, allowing them to choose a course of study, a college, and a career. Even the gentlest parents and teachers tend to play into pervasive societal pressure for students to perform. And when we take the foot off the gas, we beg the kids to just figure out what their passion is. Neither is a recipe for mental or physical health, or, ironically, for performance or passion. How to Navigate Life shows that successful human beings instead tap into their purpose-the why behind the what and how. Best of all, purpose is a completely translatable quality to every aspect of life, from first jobs to last jobs and everything in between"--

The Rock : through the lens : his life, his movies, his world / by Garcia, Hiram,1976-author,photographer.;
"Dynamic, funny, and inspiring photos of global entertainment icon, entrepreneur, and trailblazer, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, featuring twenty years' worth of candids, family moments, and snapshots from film and television sets, many never-before-seen. Hiram Garcia has known his subject for decades-he's a college friend, former brother-in-law, and producing partner of Dwayne Johnson, known from his wrestling days on as "The Rock." Garcia is also a talented amateur photographer, who has taken scores of images on the sets of many of the Seven Bucks Productions' movies, including Jumanji 2, Jungle Cruise, and more. He knows Dwayne Johnson inside and out, and that intimacy brings his photography to life. Whether it's an action photo of DJ in character or a charming shot of Johnson with one of his daughters, Garcia focuses his lens on the qualities he admires in his friend: his extraordinary work ethic, his infectious smile, his sense of humor, and the joy and determination he brings to everything he does. With intimate photos from Johnson's life, work, and world--many of them never seen before--The Rock: Through the Lens is enhanced by rich captions telling stories only an insider could share"--
