'For decades, Ellen Langer's work has taught us the incredible power of the mind to affect our lives. In this fascinating new book, she highlights the startling role that our mind plays in fostering or undermining what is perhaps our most important asset-our health. You will be amazed. I highly recommend this book!'

A compelling combination of personal experience, research and hard science, this is a must read' Jill Bolte-Taylor, PhD, bestselling author of Whole Brain Living and My Stroke of Insight'To call a book a "world-flipper" sounds like the worst sort of hyperbole, but the bare facts are that The Mindful Body does this and more.

But make no mistake, every semi-colon in these pages is backed up by brilliant and the hardest of hard experimental science-that has been Dr. Langer's trademark for decades.

Data mesh treats data as a product, considers domains as a primary concern, applies platform thinking to create self-serve data infrastructure, and introduces a federated computational model of data governance.Get a complete introduction to data mesh principles and its constituentsDesign a data mesh architectureGuide a data mesh strategy and executionNavigate organizational design to a decentralized data ownership modelMove beyond traditional data warehouses and lakes to a distributed data mesh
Brought to you by Penguin. Stop being a servant of the life you're living and become a creator of the world you want. Electrifying lessons in power, influence and persuasion to equalise women in an unequal world.Why do so many women feel they're too much yet not enough? How can you feel 'good and mad' yet reluctant to speak up in a meeting or difficult conversation? What causes women to freeze at critical moments?Kasia Urbaniak spent 17 years studying to become a Taoist nun. To foot the bill for her studies, she worked as a high-paid (and extremely successful) dominatrix in dungeons around New York City. What she learned in these two wildly different settings has turned into her life's work.UNBOUND brings Urbaniak's unique teachings for women on speaking power, persuading others and navigating conflict to a mainstream audience for the first time. Part polemic, part practical, it opens women's eyes to why they frequently find it so difficult - personally, professionally and socially - to raise their voices, why they freeze in challenging circumstances and what they can do to change this. Too often women find themselves in the role of 'sub' when they need to be more 'dom' - in short they are paralysed by their Good Girl Syndrome and a deep-seated need to please everyone and anyone except themselves. UNBOUND offers precise, practical instruction in how to stand in your power, find your voice and use it well. Part manual, part manifesto, it will help you cut through layers of self-censoring and self-doubt to go after what you truly want, and live your wildest, best and most satisfying life.(c) Kasia Urbaniak 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
