- Shift Managing Your Emotions--So They Don't Manage You [electronic resource] : by Kross, Ethan.aut; cloudLibrary;
“A revolutionary guide to mastering your emotional life.”—Charles Duhigg “Brilliant, engaging, and deeply insightful.”—Lisa Damour “Illuminating.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) One of Oprah Daily’s Best Self-Help Books for Personal Growth in 2025, Next Big Idea Club’s Highly Anticipated Books, and Adam Grant’s 10 New Books to Feed Your Mind A myth-busting, science-based guide that addresses the timeless question of how to manage your emotional life using tools you already possess—from the bestselling author of Chatter. Whether it’s anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being “good” or “bad,” emotions are information. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices. But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths—for instance, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment—and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don’t take over our lives. Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions—from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter’s life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to—in our bodies and minds, our relationships with other people, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit—and shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research, and riveting stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us—and help others do the same.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Neuroscience; Emotions; Personal Growth;

- Big money energy : how to rule at work, dominate at life, and make millions / by Serhant, Ryan,author.;
"We all know someone who exudes "Big Money Energy." Big Money Energy is the vibe you get from someone who is massively succeeding at life in every direction. A person with Big Money Energy is the ultimate picture of self-confidence. There's no bravado, no bragging - they know they have BME and so does everyone else. It's totally obvious. People who possess Big Money Energy get that way because they are 100% committed to making their vision for themselves a reality, and their vision is big. If you have BME, you never stop learning, earning, and growing. When you meet someone with BME, you can't help but want to be around them. They're confident but never cocky. They understand that the path to success is paved with hard work, gratitude, patience and experience. A person with BME knows there is no value in acting like an asshole, only a person with Bullshit Money Energy would do that. A person with genuine BME plays it like they already have the money in their pocket. In this book, national bestselling author and Bravo real estate star Ryan Serhant shows us all how we can start projecting that Big Money Energy in our own lives and turn our financial dreams into financial realities. He shows how he landed his first big client and went from "surviving to thriving"--from under $10k a year to $1m in just three years. Whether it's school, a relationship, a first job, or running your own business--everyone starts from the bottom and eventually climb to the top via hard work, savvy, and experience. With BME, Serhant shows how readers can climb that ladder better and faster, by changing how they look, how they talk, what they believe, and their attitude towards life and money. Among other things, Big Money Energy will give you the tools you need to: nail a first impression, abolish "low-rent habits", expand your network (and cut off the negative relationships holding you back), remove distractions, set (and beat!) reachable goals, structure work days around success and growth, excel during challenging periods, and branch out their sources of revue. At its core, Big Money Energy is an inspirational, prescriptive manual intended for anyone who is ambitious enough to dream big and committed to doing whatever it takes to get there. In other words, if you're ready to earn a better income, stand out in job interviews, shine at social events, shoot straight to the top at work, or even crush first dates with a cool BME-infused confidence-then, this is just the book for you"--- Subjects: Self-help publications.; Success.; Success in business.; Self-actualization (Psychology);

- It's (almost) always sunny in Philadelphia : how three friends spent $200 to create the longest-running live-action sitcom in history and help build a network / by Potts, Kimberly,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Sweet Dee, and Frank are deplorable characters. They will never mature, become more self-aware, or less self-involved. That is what the creators of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are committed to -- and that's why the show's millions of devoted fans have stuck with the cult comedy hit for over sixteen seasons and counting. Created in 2005 by stars Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day, unemployed actors with a pair of Law & Order guest appearances as the highlights of their collective resume, the frustrated trio drafted a homemade TV pilot. A few months and $200 later (the cost of videotapes, pizza for their friends who volunteered as extras, and a broomstick to tape their boom mic to), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was ready for its network debut. All major parties either passed or were interested but wanted creative control. And then came FX looking to shake up cable TV. Willing to allow McElhenney, Howerton, and Day complete freedom to deconstruct the traditional sitcom, new president John Landgraf agreed to take a chance. No one had any idea how big of a success it would be. With FX's one creative note -- the hiring of Danny DeVito -- adding the final piece of the puzzle, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has enjoyed a steady climb to high ratings, critical acclaim, and a place in the cultural zeitgeist. Now, how the show and its creators have accomplished this is revealed with this in-depth, behind-the-scenes celebration. As thoughtful, provocative, and engaging as the show itself, this book also explores how the show has pushed the envelope and used absurdist comedy to explore major societal issues, including the #MeToo movement, LGBTQ+ rights, racism, and more. It also asks, what does the future hold for The Gang? It certainly won't include the characters' personal growth, but the show itself continues to move forward, adding to its dynamic history with each season."--- Subjects: It's always sunny in Philadelphia (Television program); Situation comedies (Television programs); Television comedies;

- The art of winning : lessons from my life in football / by Belichick, Bill,author.;
"No one embodies winning more than Bill Belichick, the greatest football coach of all time. Over the past fifty years, Belichick has been a man of notoriously few words, believing that a coach should keep a low profile. After he left the Patriots in 2024, he briefly became a coach without a team. He spent that year writing down the principles he learned from his father, Navy football, and from his forty-nine-year coaching career. Belichick's philosophy goes far beyond football. He presents a whole-year, whole-life, whole-mindset approach to greatness that encompasses preparation, motivation, confidence, and leadership. The principles in this book are adaptable to wherever you work. No matter where you are on the ladder, they will help you think like a leader in anticipation of being one. Drawing on decades of studying the greats of the game, handling colorful personalities and egos, and playing for the highest stakes in sports, Belichick shares memorable examples and practical takeaways from his lived experience. Winning is not about being perfect-it's about growth. And you will improve only as much as you recognize where you're weak. Belichick owns up to mistakes like deciding to go for it on 4th and 13 in the 2008 Super Bowl. Then he breaks down how to learn from your mistakes like a leader does -- an approach that sustained him throughout his early career challenges and ultimately brought him to the top of the sport. Belichick's principles might surprise you at times. At other times, they might seem strangely obvious. (His rule for how to win football games? Score the most points.) Football is about strategy, human nature, and business. Your vision of success might involve breaking into a new, competitive market in your industry; seeing solid returns on a portfolio that you've carefully prepared; inspiring your students to earn the highest scores in the district; or raising up trainees to take over your job someday. Whatever the situation, your performance is up to you. Practical, authoritative, and bursting with unforgettable inside stories, The Art of Winning is an indispensable guide to success from the greatest coach in NFL history"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Self-help publications.; Personal narratives.; Belichick, Bill.; Leadership.; Self-actualization (Psychology); Success.;

But as #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hollis learned, sometimes it's not answers you need-what helps most are questions. And the best questions can change everything.

With her signature blend of vulnerability, tell-it-like-it-is humor, and hard-won wisdom, Rachel challenges and encourages you to: Confront your deepest fears: "What are you afraid to admit?"

- Anxiety Rx : a revolutionary new prescription for anxiety relief from the doctor who created it / by Kennedy, Russell,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From physician and neuroscientist Russell Kennedy, MD comes an award-winning book that offers a revolutionary, life-changing approach to healing anxiety. Dive into the refined and practically upgraded second edition. After years of trying different therapies for his debilitating anxiety without success, Dr. Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Russ realized that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem -- at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they'd never truly heal anxiety. Wanting to make a difference for the millions who suffer from anxiety disorder, Russ created Anxiety Rx, a book that blends his personal story with medical science, neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Readers learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts -- in the process they begin to heal old trauma and gain a sense of control previously unknown. Russ offers techniques not only for our thinking minds, but for our feeling bodies, changing not just our mindset, but our "body-set." Unraveling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body, and the mind, Anxiety Rx offers a profound path toward healing and growth"--- Subjects: Anxiety; Anxiety.; Self-actualization (Psychology);

- Emotional agility : get unstuck, embrace change, and thrive in work and life / by David, Susan A.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as a groundbreaking idea of the year. The path to fulfillment, whether at work or at home, is almost never a straight line. Ask anyone who has achieved their biggest goals or who thrives in their relationships, and you'll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who rise to these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility--emotional agility. Emotional agility is a four-step approach that allows us to navigate life's twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. In her more than twenty years of research, Susan David has found that no matter how intelligent, resilient, or creative people are, when they ignore how situations or interactions make them feel, they miss opportunities to gain insight, getting hooked by thoughts, emotions, and habits that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Emotionally agile people experience the same stresses and setbacks as anyone else, but they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small changes that lead to a life of growth. Drawing on her extensive professional research, her international consulting work, and her own experiences growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa and losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can become more emotionally agile and thrive in an uncertain world. Written with authority, wit, and empathy, Emotional Agility will help you live your most successful life, whoever you are and whatever you face"--Provided by publisher.LSC- Subjects: Adjustment (Psychology); Emotions.; Resilience (Personality trait); Self-realization.;
