Write What You Don't Know
What if writer's block isn't real? In Write What You Don't Know, Allegra Huston and James Nav矇 introduce the Imaginative Storm method-- a powerful creative practice that helps writers move beyond self-doubt and discover the deeper intelligence of imagination. Most writers try to control their work before it has a chance to live. They second-guess every sentence, silence their instincts, and listen too closely to the inner critic. The Imaginative Storm method turns that process upside down. Instead of forcing ideas, it teaches writers to follow curiosity, trust the unknown, and allow inspiration to emerge naturally. Through practical exercises and a radically freeing approach to creativity, this book will help you: - Discover and strengthen your authentic writing voice - Transform your inner critic into a supportive inner coach - Write with greater emotional power and imagination - Break through creative blocks and rediscover the joy of writing Whether you are a beginning writer, a seasoned author, or someone who simply feels there is more inside you waiting to be expressed, Write What You Don't Know opens the door to a new creative flow. When you stop trying to control the proc

When the Ache Remains
Psychotherapist and author of Already Enough, Lisa Olivera blends her own personal experience of living with depression with therapeutic wisdom in a moving exploration of the emotional pain each of us lives with to offer readers guidance on holding the ache alongside the beauty. Emotional pain, of all kinds and magnitudes, is part of life. We'll never be able to find ourselves free of it; no meditation or amount of therapy will cure us of the harder parts of being alive. The practice of turning toward the ache with care--reverence, even--might be one of the most meaningful gifts we can give ourselves. It might even save us. Lisa Olivera has confronted this reality for years as a therapist, weaving her exploration of it throughout her popular newsletter, Human Stuff. She asks questions like, how do we confront and tend to the painful parts of being human without letting that pain entirely overtake us? How do we find joy even when depression visits, even when we lose someone we love, even when the hurt of the world is ever-present? How do we cultivate aliveness in the midst? When the Ache Remains explores these questions for readers in a tender and wise exploration of how ache shapes life, how we can alchemize our pain into medicine, and how presence is accessible even in the midst of difficulty. Blending deeply personal narrative, humanistic psychology, lessons from nature, words of nourishment, and her naturally poetic undertone, Lisa invites readers on a journey alongside her as she explores the impact of depression and the process of learning to tend to it, and all of our aches, in more open, integrative, and loving ways.

Banson reveals how dreams are undermined and shows readers how to defend their vision with clarity, courage, and discipline.

Leaving The Nest
Leaving the Nest is more than a reflection of what author Rania R.H. experienced when her elder boys left for college. Writing became a therapeutic way for her to process the emotions of motherhood during this transition. Through her mindful practices and solid faith, she found the strength to carry on, embracing the changes and challenges that came with their absence. This book is both a self-help guide and a personal reflection, offering parents who face similar experiences a space to acknowledge their fears and anxieties. Through coaching questions and practical exercises, readers are invited to process their emotions while also finding the courage to consciously embrace this change. Motherhood, for Rania, has always been about recognizing when and how to let go so that the entire family can thrive, grow, and sustain a deep and lasting connection. It is also about embracing the different seasons of family life, fully understanding that each stage asks something new of us. With every letting go, something else quietly blooms: deeper trust, stronger roots, and a new kind of growth for our children and for us as mothers.

The Simple Life
In a world increasingly defined by haste, noise, and endless striving, Charles Wagner's timeless classic The Simple Life offers a profound invitation to return to what truly matters. First published in 1904, this eloquent and deeply human manifesto speaks with startling relevance to our modern age of anxiety and excess. Wagner does not advocate for poverty or austerity, but for simplicity of soul - a life lived with clarity, integrity, and purpose. He reminds us that true contentment is not found in the accumulation of things, but in the cultivation of character, duty, and inner peace. With poetic wisdom, he explores the simplicity of thought, speech, needs, and pleasures, urging us to shed the burdens of envy, greed, and pretense. Long cherished by thinkers and leaders - including Theodore Roosevelt - The Simple Life is more than a book; it is a compass for living. In these pages, you will discover that the art of living well lies not in complexity, but in the courage to be honestly, naturally human.Charles Wagner (1852-1918) was a French Reformed pastor and theologian.Born in Moselle, France, he studied in Paris, Strasbourg, and Germany before serving as a pastor in Remiremont and later founding the independent congregation Le Foyer de l'?me in Paris. A leading figure in Protestantism in his time, he emphasized inner spirituality, moral integrity, and human brotherhood, influencing religious and ethical thought across Europe and the United States. His ideas earned international recognition, including an invitation to preach at the White House in 1904.
Be More Human
Be More Human is a reflective exploration of human behaviour in the modern world. Instead of giving instructions or quick fixes, the book gently examines the unseen patterns that shape our decisions, ambitions, fears, and sense of control. It invites readers to slow down, notice their conditioning, and develop clarity in a world designed to constantly distract and influence. Moving between technology, psychology, and everyday experience, the book focuses on awareness rather than motivation on learning to see without distortion. It does not promise transformation; it offers perspective. Written in a calm, observational tone, Be More Human becomes less of a guide and more of a quiet conversation that encourages readers to understand themselves and the systems around them with greater depth.
Motivational Interviewing for Eating Disorders
The First Dedicated Guide to Using Motivational Interviewing With Eating Disorder Clients Motivational interviewing is taught in virtually every eating disorder training program. It is listed as a core treatment modality at residential programs across North America. Clinicians use it daily with clients who restrict, binge, purge, and exercise compulsively. And yet, until now, no book has been written specifically to teach clinicians how to do it well with this population. This is that book. Why Standard MI Training Falls Short Standard MI workshops use substance use examples. They assume the client recognizes a problem. They assume baseline cognitive functioning. They assume that respecting client autonomy will not result in the client's death. Eating disorders break every one of these assumptions. A client with anorexia nervosa may genuinely love her restriction. A client with bulimia nervosa may hide her symptoms behind a wall of shame so thick that honest disclosure feels impossible. A client with binge eating disorder may arrive carrying years of weight stigma from healthcare providers who never once asked why she binges. Generic MI training does not prepare clinicians for any of this. What This Book Provides Across twenty chapters and six clinical appendices, this guide adapts every core MI skill for eating disorder treatment. You will learn how to ask open questions that reduce defensiveness rather than trigger it, how to affirm clients without accidentally reinforcing the disorder, how to reflect in ways that separate the person from the illness, and how to build summaries that create discrepancy using the client's own words. Each chapter includes detailed case studies, clinical dialogue examples, and diagnosis-specific strategies for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and ARFID. Advanced Applications for Complex Presentations This book goes beyond the basics. It addresses MI with adolescents and families, MI in multidisciplinary teams, MI for co-occurring trauma and PTSD, MI adapted for autistic and ADHD clients, MI for severe and enduring eating disorders, and MI for exercise compulsion and orthorexia. It includes practical tools: session planning worksheets, change talk examples by diagnosis, adapted decisional balance templates, a values card sort designed for eating disorder populations, and an MI fidelity checklist for eating disorder settings. Written for therapists, dietitians, nurses, physicians, and any clinician who works with eating disorders and wants to use motivational interviewing with greater skill, confidence, and clinical precision.

Your Strength Is Greater Than You Know.Growing up has never been easy - but for today's young women, the pressures are more intense and relentless than ever before.

Less is More
In a world saturated with constant noise, endless consumption, and competing demands on your attention, Less is More: The Minimalist Manifesto presents a clear and compelling pathway toward reclaiming control over your life. This expanded and deeply practical guide moves beyond the aesthetic of minimalism to explore its true purpose: creating space for what genuinely adds value.The book begins by examining the modern culture of excess-how clutter, both physical and mental, quietly drains energy, clouds decision-making, and fragments focus. It then introduces minimalism not as deprivation, but as a deliberate and empowering shift toward intentional living. By redefining success away from accumulation and toward alignment with personal values, readers are encouraged to reassess what they own, how they spend their time, and what they give their attention to.Through structured frameworks and step-by-step methods, the book guides readers in systematically decluttering their homes, workspaces, and digital environments. It provides practical techniques for organizing living spaces, reducing digital overwhelm, managing information intake, and building sustainable habits that prevent clutter from returning. Importantly, it addresses the emotional dimension of letting go-helping readers understand why attachments form and how to release them without regret.Beyond the physical environment, Less is More explores the psychological and emotional benefits of simplicity. It outlines how reducing excess can lower stress levels, improve mental clarity, and create the conditions for deeper focus and creativity. Readers will learn how minimalism enhances decision-making, strengthens relationships, and allows more meaningful engagement with daily life.The book also features real-world examples and case studies of individuals who have adopted minimalist principles across different areas-career, family life, finances, and personal development. These stories illustrate that minimalism is not a rigid formula, but a flexible framework adaptable to different lifestyles and goals.Additional sections address financial simplification, mindful consumption, and time management-showing how living with less can lead to greater financial stability and a more balanced, purposeful schedule. Readers are encouraged to replace passive habits with intentional choices, creating a life that reflects clarity rather than chaos.Ultimately, Less is More: The Minimalist Manifesto is both a philosophy and a practical toolkit. It challenges readers to question excess, embrace simplicity, and design a life centered on what truly matters. Whether you are beginning your decluttering journey or seeking to refine an already minimalist lifestyle, this book provides the insight and structure needed to move toward a calmer, more focused, and more fulfilling way of living.
The Silent Unwinding
"A quiet masterpiece . . . a love story, a hope story, a story out of time, out of stricture, out of the narrow artificial bounds by which we try to contain the wild wonderland of reality because we are too frightened to live wonder-stricken."―Maria Popova, Brain Pickings This book is a companion to The Unwinding. It contains images that tell stories, but it reads like a silent film. Each of the images is an invitation to dream. The tales of this silent edition are not pinned to the page by words. Each dreamer will find their own path, perhaps a new one each time they return. The illustrations are intended to inspire: there is space to draw and write, to paint dreams and stories, thoughts and verse, in new worlds, wherever your pen may guide you. The Silent Unwinding is designed to be a companion, a talisman to be turned to again and again and a place of respite from an increasingly frenetic and complex world. Dreams and wishes are the inspiration at times like this.
