Description:
Meeting with clients, hauling the kids to soccer, supervising the kitchen remodel — women today juggle so many commitments that many don’t find time to focus on their own dreams. First created for her own needs, Jennifer Louden’s Life Organizer is a datebook for the soul that helps women create the life they want. Divided into four sections, the first part defines “inner organizing” and explains how to use the book. Next, Louden defines “time monsters,” “minimum requirements,” “shadow comforts,” and other pertinent concepts. Fifty-two two-page spreads, one for each week of the year, include prompts for goal-setting and soul exploration. Stories accompanying each section show how other women have used the organizer to make a time for inner play and for finding the soul’s purpose. Most of all, the book helps women hold themselves gently accountable, giving them ideas to explore their inner needs and a place to record the progress they’ve made.

Description: The best-selling author of Stiff turns her outrageous curiosity and infectious wit on the most alluring scientific subject of all: sex.

The study of sexual physiology—what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better—has been a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. The research has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinsey's attic.

Mary Roach, "the funniest science writer in the country" (Burkhard Bilger of The New Yorker), devoted the past two years to stepping behind those doors. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Why doesn't Viagra help women—or, for that matter, pandas? In Bonk, Roach shows us how and why sexual arousal and orgasm, two of the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on earth, can be so hard to achieve and what science is doing to slowly make the bedroom a more satisfying place. 16 illustrations.

Description: Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, is perhaps the best-known proponent of using meditation to help patients deal with illness. (The somewhat confusing title is from a line in Zorba the Greek in which the title character refers to the ups and downs of family life as "the full catastrophe.") But this book is also a terrific introduction for anyone who has considered meditating but was afraid it would be too difficult or would include religious practices they found foreign. Kabat-Zinn focuses on "mindfulness," a concept that involves living in the moment, paying attention, and simply "being" rather than "doing." While you can practice anything "mindfully," from taking a walk to cleaning your house, Kabat-Zinn presents several meditation techniques that focus the attention most clearly, whether it's on a simple phrase, your breathing, or various parts of your body. The book goes into detail about how hospital patients have either improved their health or simply come to feel better despite their illness by using these techniques, but these meditations can help anyone deal with stress and gain a calmer outlook on life. "When we use the word healing to describe the experiences of people in the stress clinic, what we mean above all is that they are undergoing a profound transformation of view," Kabat-Zinn writes. "Out of this shift in perspective comes an ability to act with greater balance and inner security in the world." --Ben Kallen

Description: How many times does a dieter enthusiastically and faithfully start a weight-loss regimen only to end up a week, a month, a year later giving in to hunger and cravings again and again--and before he or she knows it, the pounds have packed back on?

This time, it's going to be different. This time, there's The Beck Diet Solution Weight Loss Workbook--a straightforward, effective plan for dieting successfully, losing weight with confidence, and, most importantly, keeping those excess pounds off forever.

Dr. Judith Beck, director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, is a world-recognized authority in the field of Cognitive Therapy. In her first weight-loss book, The Beck Diet Solution, she created a unique program that revolutionized people's approach to shedding pounds by changing both behavior and thinking. Rather than tell what to eat, Dr. Beck's step-by-step, six-week plan--which works with any nutritious diet--teaches the skills needed to stay continuously motivated to stick to a diet and to achieve lasting weight loss.

Features

  • Works for dieters who are familiar with the original The Beck Diet Solution book AND for those coming to the program for the first time through this workbook

  • It is a stand-alone workbook that will incorporate the philosophy of Cognitive Therapy for weight loss and give the reader a map to plan and chart their own weight-loss program

  • Highly user-friendly, with plentiful opportunities to connect with other real-life dieters through their stories and sessions with Dr. Beck

  • There is a place for the reader to fill out lists of favorite foods, trigger foods, and alternatives based on a healthy eating plan
