Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

The Happiness Hypothesis is about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations—to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing. Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Righteous Mind, shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims can enrich and even transform our lives.

Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

What makes a life fulfilling and meaningful? The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and overall healthier lives. In fact, the Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through life.

Publisher's summary
If Martians were to visit Earth, would they be perplexed to find that some folks need a reminder to celebrate each year of their lives? Do you mark your date of birth with cake and a bit of frivolity? Do you spend any quiet time on your birthdays to reflect on the life path you have taken thus far? Do you eagerly anticipate and map out the trajectory of the next year and all the subsequent years of your life?
Would our interplanetary buddies wonder why many of us think we cease to grow as we exit our teen years or why we dread aging and fear dying?
You will likely enjoy this audiobook if you:
- Feel a smidgen of unease about aging and dying
- Want to see if worms and chickens can teach life lessons
- Are interested in what fellow life travelers say about growing up, aging, and dying
- Wish to explore cutting-edge research and innovative theories regarding various aspects of our life cycle
- Want practical, fun ideas to celebrate every age and phase of life to get your party started!
The author considers herself an expert “dier” due to a few near-death episodes which didn’t involve any cool out-of-body stuff, but did kindle a lot of interesting ideas and questions about why we think what we think regarding each phase of our lives. This sometimes-amusing, sometimes-quite-serious book is not about whether there’s an afterlife; it’s about you here and now, filled with many ideas and questions for you to ponder.
In this audiobook, you will be introduced to a variety of perspectives on these and other issues with the intent that by having listened to it, you will live a more examined life. If you are satisfied with your current life path, you will get some cool suggestions for more fun. If, on the other hand, you realize that the story of your life could use some editing , consider these important aspects that you need to address:
- Fear, such as fear of public speaking, loneliness, disasters, fear of growing up, aging, and dying
- Habits, which you have but would rather avoid
- Limitations which keep you from experiencing the fullest, happiest, and most adventurous existence that you can imagine
Join me for an in-depth (never to be mapped again in all of future human history) examination of your amazing life. Let’s get your party started!

We all experience stuckness in our lives. We feel stuck in our relationships, career paths, body struggles, addiction issues, and more. Many of us know what we need to do to move forward—but find ourselves unable to take the leap to make it happen. And then we blame and shame ourselves, and stay in a loop of self-doubt that goes nowhere. The good news is you’re not lazy, crazy, or unmotivated. In this empowering and action-oriented guide, you’ll discover why we can’t think our way forward—and how to break through what’s holding us back.

Dead cats. That's the image many people conjure up when you mention curiosity. An image perpetuated by a dusty old proverb that has long represented the extent of our understanding of the term. This book might not put the proverb to rest, but it will flip it upside down: far from killing anything, curiosity breathes new life into almost everything it touches.

Between the ages of twelve and twenty-four, the brain changes in important and, at times, challenging ways. In Brainstorm, the renowned psychiatrist and bestselling author of Parenting from the Inside Out, The Whole-Brain Child, and Mindsight, Daniel Siegel busts a number of commonly held myths about adolescence — for example, that it is merely a stage of “immaturity” filled with often “crazy” behavior — to reveal how it is in fact a vital time in our lives in terms of charting the course for the adults we ultimately become.

Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are - these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, and other neurodifferences.

With Transformed by Birth, unabridged and read by the author, Dr. Britta Bushnell has created the transformative, intelligent, and empowering pregnancy and childbirth guide you’ve been waiting for. This audiobook embraces birth as a rite of passage in which you open to the unbidden, embody your own wisdom, and gain freedom from limiting beliefs. Parents giving birth today do so within a society highly influenced by underlying ideals - including a need for control and certainty, vilification of pain, and reverence for intellectual knowledge and technology, among others. Dr. Bushnell brings clarity and awareness to these foundational ideals.
