"'Offers answers, healing and game-changing new insights' Jackson MacKenzieIf you're in a relationship where you're always in the wrong, and constantly being criticised, the chances are you're with a sociopath - someone without a conscience, whose personality shows extreme antisocial tendencies. Now substantially updated with shocking new statistics and compelling case studies, this book is designed to help you identify the sociopath destroying your happiness, and it gives you the tools you need to protect yourself against these arch-manipulators. It will help you to see their behaviour for what it really is, understand the way they interact with others, and extract yourself from a destructive relationship - whatever its nature. You will regain control of your life for good, and become a survivor; a stronger person. More than just a practical guide, Everyday Sociopaths sends out a call to all of us, not only to identify and call out the sociopaths in our midst, but also to contribute to a culture where empathy exists as a prized virtue with the potential to transform society at every level"--Publisher's description.

I know what it takes to get what you want in life. It's a habit anyone can learn, a skill you can develop, a gift you don't need to be born with. The more experience you get, the more confident you'll be. Even when you fail, you'll feel stronger with each try you make. At work, at home, wherever your life unfolds-be bold. Take action. Ask for the right things. Chase what you want instead of taking what you can get. What do you want most in life, and why don't you have it?Think about the things that give your life depth, focus, and meaning: deeply satisfying relationships with plenty of give and take, physical health and emotional wellbeing, passion projects, self-esteem, and self-respect. Bold people have these things. Bold people recognize what's holding them back-and it's almost always a fear of failure. They train to overcome their fears, they embrace the 10% Target, and they create everyday, life-long habits to get what they want.Bigger, Better, Bolder brings readers one step closer to boldness, one chapter at a time. With practical takeaways and action steps-bite-sized Bold Moves-and real-life case studies of boldness in action, Jennifer Cohen teaches you how to get what you want.

'One of my favorite books I have read in years' Quiara Alegria Hudes, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter of In the HeightsWrite this down: Cara Romero wants to work. Cara Romero thought she would work at the factory of little lamps for the rest of her life. But when, in her mid-50s, she loses her job in the Great Recession, she is forced back into the job market for the first time in decades. Set up with a job counselor, Cara instead begins to narrate the story of her life. Over the course of twelve sessions, Cara recounts her tempestuous love affairs, her alternately biting and loving relationships with her neighbor Lulu and her sister Angela, her struggles with debt, gentrification and loss, and, eventually, what really happened between her and her estranged son, Fernando. As Cara confronts her darkest secrets and regrets, we see a woman buffeted by life but still full of fight. Structurally inventive and emotionally kaleidoscopic, How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water is Angie Cruz's most ambitious and moving novel yet, and Cara is a heroine for the ages.

"Despite extensive efforts to eliminate gender inequality, little progress has been made during the past 40 years. BEYOND BIAS reveals two reasons why. First, most men have been on the sidelines rather than the front line. Second, the gender diversity techniques that are used to end inequality are largely ineffective. De-biasing individuals simply does not work. It's just too hard for individuals to shed. BEYOND BIAS introduces a more multifaceted approach, along with effective strategies and techniques to implement them. Part One discusses the causes of gender inequality and why they are so difficult overcome. Part Two introduces strategies to directly attack them in the workplace. Part Three applies those strategies to other specific areas of life. BEYOND BIAS is for both women and men who believe in gender equality. It provides a how-to manual for becoming visible, effective change agents"--

"e;They've always wanted me to be open and honest with them, I've spent years explaining stuff to them, and sometimes they still don't understand everything"e; - Milly, 16"e;Your parents aren't actually hatching a plan to ruin your life..."e; Jim, 52From minor matters (tidiness, homework, sleep) to big and important ones (relationships, mental ill health, drugs and alcohol), teenagers and their parents often struggle to talk to each other - and talking is key if your young person is facing new challenges as they leave childhood behind. A well-timed conversation, a listening ear, a non-judgemental and receptive attitude - all these can make an enormous and lasting impact on how safely and happily a teenager navigates this crucial stage of their development.Oh, if only it were that easy.It's not always easy to talk to your teenager, or for them to talk to you, but it is critical and may even be life-saving. This book draws extensively on hundreds of conversations that Fiona Spargo-Mabbs has conducted with young people and parents in focus groups and school and college workshops, to give a framework for tackling tough conversations about difficult things, without judgement or anger. It gives context and insight, based on the latest neuroscience findings on the teenage brain and, importantly, it gives hundreds of prompts and plenty of practical suggestions and strategies to make communication between parents and young people a two-way street that builds the foundations for a strong relationship with your adult child. Covering everything from the small stuff, like curfews and screen time, to the tough stuff of sex, self-harm and suicide, this is a warm, compassionate and important book that draws on lived experience and the lives of young people as they are, not as we think they might, or should, be.

Imagine a world where your autistic child is included, engaged and cherished for how they are; a world which changes for autistic children, rather than changing the child.What Works for Autistic Children brings the conversation about inclusivity into the forefront and turns it on its head. Instead of modifying the autistic child and making exceptions or special circumstances, Luke shows you, the parent, how the world can, should and must change to accommodate your child. He identifies the aspects that impact on your child's life most - the family, their school, their friends, their environment - and outlines the steps that can and should be taken by everyone involved to improve their outcome and create an autism-friendly landscape.From early communication, through pre-school, primary school, secondary school - on holidays, school trips and with friends - your child should not have to struggle to exist within the parameters of a world they don't understand. What Works for Autistic Children will give you the dialogue, tools and starting points to involve every professional and family member as advocates for a world where your child flourishes.

A practicing psychologist - one of the top popularizers of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - offers a fresh, welcome approach for treating mental health issues that speaks to our times, blending mindfulness and spirituality with CBT to effectively overcome negative thinking, achieve deep healing, and truly attain lasting peace.Mental health professionals have numerous tools and techniques to help their patients battle depression and illness. But while these methods can alleviate the pain, they are often only temporary. Based on his extensive knowledge of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and his personal experience with depression and illness, Dr. Seth J. Gillihan believes we need to do more than relieve our symptoms to become healthy and whole. To achieve long-lasting wellness and good health, we must embrace the spiritual in our healing.By incorporating insights from both Christianity and Buddhism and mindfulness into the therapeutic process, we can exponentially magnify the healing CBT provides. Gillihan calls his method Mindful Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and shows how it can be used successfully to master negative thoughts and behaviours and choose the right actions to become fully present and at peace in our daily lives.This extraordinary guide shows how to banish the stubborn lies we tell ourselves - that we're unlovable, stupid, unworthy, defective - and adapt new healthful and spiritual practices that can help us retrain our minds to focus on the deep truths of our existence - that we are perfect in our imperfections, and most important, that we are beings deserving of love.
