She explains: - How to identify the signals that a boundary needs to be set - The minimum dose/maximum effect method - How to hold a boundary - What to do if people respond poorly - How to establish consequences if your needs are not respected. A no-holds-barred guide, written with warmth and humour, The Book of Boundaries shows how a few carefully selected words, spoken with kindness and from a place of self-care, are all that stands between you and feelings of calm, ease, confidence, and freedom."--

The perfection trap : embracing the power of good enough / by Curran, Thomas,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In the bestselling tradition of Brené Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection, this illuminating book by an acclaimed professor at the London School of Economics explores how the pursuit of perfection can become a dangerous obsession that leads to burnout and depression--keeping us from achieving our goals. Today, burnout and depression are at record levels, driven by a combination of intense workplace competition, oppressively ubiquitous social media encouraging comparisons with others, the quest for elite credentials, and helicopter parenting. Society continually broadcasts the need to want more, and to be perfect. Gathering a wide range of contemporary evidence, Curran calls for both introspection and broader, societal change. He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect, and in so doing, win for ourselves a more purposeful and contented life. The Perfection Trap is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the soul-crushing need to not just compete but compete to a level beyond reason. In place of an ever-moving treadmill, it offers the relief of letting go to focus on what matters most."--

The brain at rest : how the art and science of doing nothing can improve your life / by Jebelli, Joseph,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A narrative exploration of the science of "doing nothing" and its astonishing benefits for the brain and body, from neuroscientist and author of How the Mind Changed Everything Dr. Joseph Jebelli. We are living in the age of burnout -- even in our quietest moments, we are busier than ever, overwhelmed, and unable to disconnect from work, relationships, and current events. We view productivity as good, and idleness as bad, yet the secret to enhancing intelligence, creativity, social empathy, and emotional processing lies in a single act -- doing nothing. In The Brain at Rest, Dr. Joseph Jebelli blends science, stories, and practical tips in a nuanced exploration of the "default network," a brain system that participates in daydreaming, reflective thinking, and visualizing the future. In doing so, he shows the benefits of harnessing this network, such as reducing chances of developing depression and dementia, and helps us put these findings into practice. Perfect for readers interested in science and creativity, or anyone feeling overwhelmed in their day-to-day life, The Brain at Rest is a deeply-researched and entertaining antidote to burnout that definitively proves how even 5 to 10 minutes of doing nothing can better our lives"--

Badass habits : cultivate the awareness, boundaries, and daily upgrades you need to make them stick / by Sincero, Jen,1965-author.;
"Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits. The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit"--
