This messy magnificent life : a field guide / by Roth, Geneen,author.;
From the beginning, the author was told she was too sensitive, too emotional, too curious, too demanding, too intense, and too big. Yet gaining and losing weight for decades did not improve her self-worth or reduce other people's criticisms. When her struggle with food ended she kept trying to fix other broken parts of herself with therapy, intensive meditation retreats, and rigorous spiritual practices. Yet it was only when the author stopped trying to change or fix herself that she was at last able to feel at home in her mind, body, and life. This book explores the personal beliefs, hidden traumas, and social pressures that shape not just women's feelings about their bodies, but also their confidence, choices, and relationships.

It's about time : the art of choosing the meaningful over the urgent / by Burton, Valorie,1973-author.;
Includes biographical references."Our culture makes it so that even the most organized and efficient among us feels the pressure of the ticking clock and the possibility and regret of missing out. Modern life has evolved in a way that sets us up for stress, pressure, and overload. New norms and attitudes tap into deeply-wired psychological impulses that make it harder than ever to take control of your time. Many of us also have innate personality traits that make the struggle even worse. No wonder time can become a tyrant that leaves us chronically stressed and discontented. It's About Time: the art of choosing the meaningful over the urgent, unlocks an approach to life that I call "living timelessly.""-- Provided by publisher.

Let that sh*t go : find peace of mind and happiness in your everyday / by Purewal, Nina,author.; Petriw, Kate,author.;
"Life is stressful AF. But it doesn't have to be. It's no wonder you can't calm down: your to-do list is as long as your arm, your bank balance keeps dropping, you feel guilty for not calling your parents more often, and there always seems to be a big deadline to meet at work. You need a serious breather--but you can barely find time to shower, let alone to exercise or meditate, and you're just hoping your spinning mind will stop. In Let That Sh*t Go, Kate Petriw and Nina Purewal share the wisdom they've gained though decades of practising mindfulness and teaching others to find peace of mind no matter how busy life gets. Learn to put your life in perspective, take each day one step at a time and steal moments of calm amid the chaos. And remember: let that sh*t go." -- Adapted from page [2] of cover.

The mountain is you : transforming self-sabotage into self-mastery / by Wiest, Brianna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it -- for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
