Paperback. Condition: Good. ?I have long thought that what the Buddha taught can be seen as a highly developed science of mind which, if made more accessible to a lay audience, could benefit many people. I believe that Dr. Weiss?s book, in combining such insights with science and good business practice, offers an effective mindfulness based program that many will find helpful.? --His Holiness, the Dalai LamaA practical guide to bringing our whole selves to our professional work, based on the author?s overwhelmingly popular course at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.In today?s workplace, the traditional boundaries between "work" and "personal" are neither realistic nor relevant. From millennials seeking employment in the sharing economy to Gen Xers telecommuting to Baby Boomers creating a meaningful second act, the line that separates who we are from the work we do is blurrier than ever.The truth is, we don?t show up for our jobs as a portion of ourselves?by necessity, we bring both our hearts and our minds to everything we do. In How We Work, mindfulness expert and creator of the perennially-waitlisted Stanford Business School course "Leading with Mindfulness and Compassion" Dr. Leah Weiss explains why this false dichotomy can be destructive to both our mental health and our professional success.The bad news, says Weiss, is that nothing provides more opportunities for negative emotions?anxiety, anger, envy, fear, and paranoia, to name a few?than the dynamics of the workplace. But the good news is that these feelings matter. How we feel at and about work matters?to ourselves, to the quality of our work, and ultimately to the success of the organizations for which we work.The path to productivity and success, says Weiss, is not to change jobs, to compartmentalize our feelings, or to create a false "professional" identity?but rather to listen to the wisdom our feelings offer. Using mindfulness techniques, we can learn how to attend to difficult feelings without becoming subsumed by them; we can develop an awareness of our bigger picture goals that orients us and allows us to see purpose in even the most menial tasks. In How We Work, Weiss offers a set of practical, evidence-based strategies for practicing mindfulness in the real world, showing readers not just how to survive another day, but how to use ancient wisdom traditions to sharpen their abilities, enhance their leadership and interpersonal skills, and improve their satisfaction.This research-backed guide delivers proven strategies to reclaim your focus and career satisfaction:Purposeful Work: Discover how to find deep meaning in your daily tasks and align your career with what truly matters, transforming your relationship with your job.Compassionate Leadership: Learn to use self-compassion to prevent burnout and extend empathy to colleagues, building stronger, more resilient teams.Actionable Mindfulness Techniques: Master simple, evidence-based exercises from Dr. Weiss?s celebrated Stanford course to manage workplace stress and enhance focus.Essential Soft Skills: Develop the critical interpersonal and emotional intelligence abilities that modern businesses demand but rarely teach, giving you a durable professional advantage.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Although we?ve been conditioned to think ?middle aged? is practically a four-letter word, the realities of women in midlife today are far different than what our mothers experienced. Women in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s are living younger, vibrant lives. But influenced by our youth-obsessed culture, we fear that when we hit midlife, we stop being relevant and no longer have options?that it?s simply too late for us.Contradicting long-ingrained beliefs, Robi Ludwig draws on myth-busting data from scientific research and on her experience as a therapist to show midlife is not the beginning of our decline?it is actually a time to pursue our dreams. In Your Best Age Is Now, she offers specific advice on how to change our perception of this next life phase and make the best of it by:· Letting go of stress to create a more balanced life;· Identifying false thinking that is holding us back;· Taking charge of our love life and relationships;· Staying relevant in the workplace or starting new, exciting careers;· Becoming more spiritual and leading a life of gratitude; and more.Your Best Age Is Now provides the guidance you need to reject the status quo, become more ?you? than ever before, and find the kind of happiness you never thought possible.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Embrace That Girl is a love story. with the girl in the mirror.Cris has just turned thirty and she's sitting in a self- help seminar inside a drab old hotel outside Miami International Airport. She's looking for answers, some affirmation and maybe a sliver of absolution. And wine. Thirty wasn't supposed to feel like this. Surely, she should be more certain of her place in the world, an established writer, maybe even a mother-she definitely shouldn't be eating cereal for dinner. But Cris is ready to do what it takes to create the life she wants, even if it means repeating affirmations with strangers while 757s thunder overhead.Embrace That Girl retraces Cris' search for meaning, love and gainful employment. She navigates love triangles and career letdowns, feigns bilingualism, and delves into tarot, superstition and Santeria (it's amazing what it takes to date in Miami). Along the way, Cris begins to realize an important lesson: there is no way to get out of doing the work yourself. It's not easy, but it's worth it.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Mad about Trade is the much-needed antidote to a rising tide of protectionist sentiment in the United States. The book explains the benefits of free trade and globalization for middle-class, Main Street Americans exposed to a barrage of negative claims from politicians and commentators such as Lou Dobbs. It offers a spirited defense of free trade and globalization that engages the populists on their own turf.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The first in a trilogy of whip-smart novels--soon to be a TV series--­­about a destructive British-born private investigator and his ragtag team of eccentric coworkers, who handle high-profile cases so undercover that they never make the headlines. Perfect for fans of Sherlock, Castle, and Scandal. Ravi Chandra Singh is the last guy you'd expect to become a private detective. A failed religious scholar and former high school teacher, he now works for Golden Sentinels, an upmarket London private investigations and security company. His colleagues are a band of gleefully amoral and brilliant screw-ups: Ken and Clive, a pair of brutal ex-cops from the Old School who are also a gay couple; Mark Chapman, a stoner with a great mind when you can get him to stop smoking weed for five minutes; Marcie Holder, a cheerful former publicist; Benjamin Lee, a MacGyver-style techie from South London; David Okri, an ambitious lawyer from a well-connected Nigerian immigrant family; and Olivia Wong, an upper-class Hong Kong heiress who's a financial analyst hiding her real skills as one of the most notorious hackers in the world--all under the watchful eye of Roger Golden, wheeler-dealer extraordinaire, and his cofounder and office manager, Cheryl Hughes. Thrust into a world where the rich, famous, and powerful hire him to solve their problems and wash their dirty laundry, Ravi finds himself in over his head with increasingly gonzo and complex cases--and the recent visions that he's been having of Hindu gods aren't helping. As Ravi struggles to stay ahead of danger, he wonders if the things he's seeing are a delusion--or if he might, in fact, be an unrecognized shaman of the modern world. As Deepak Chopra says, "Her Nightly Embrace introduces us to an exciting and dynamic new world of storytelling in which spirituality and science are inextricably entwined. Ravi is a character unlike any that readers have quite encountered before, and as he starts to see increasingly wild and fascinating visions, so will those lucky enough to dive into this rich narrative.".…
