Story5 out of 5 stars 1,760
Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity? Through her years counseling others and her own experiences navigating personal loss, Morin realized it is often the habits we cannot break that are holding us back from true success and happiness.

We've all seen the happiness on the face of a child while playing in the school yard. Or the blissful abandon of a golden retriever racing across a lawn. This is the joy of play. By definition, play is purposeless, all-consuming, and fun. But as Dr. Stuart Brown illustrates, play is anything but trivial. It is a biological drive as integral to our health as sleep or nutrition. We are designed by nature to flourish through play.

Have you ever wanted to be more confident or love your imperfections? Our self-esteem ends up determining who we are and how we approach life. Hence, you cannot turn a blind eye to your low self-esteem. The feelings you possess about yourself have the capability to not only affect you, but also others in the process. When your self-esteem and confidence levels are low, you will start losing trust in yourself and that can easily convert into feelings of frustration. Bit by bit, this pent-up frustration starts eating away at your happiness.

Publisher's summary
Are you a perfectionist? You might be - and not even know it!
Ever thought “I had one cookie and messed up my diet, might as well have the rest of the plate”? Or “I am afraid I will fail, so I am not going to try”?

Timely and transformative, Better than Perfect by Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo offers step-by-step instructions for perfectionists (even those who don't know they are perfectionists) to find balance and freedom. The guide offers simple assessment tools and easy-to-apply, research-supported tips using case studies from Lombardo's private practice. You will learn seven ways to overcome perfectionism that range from choosing passion over perfection to remembering you're more than what you do.
With the ultimate goal of helping listeners achieve happiness and prosperity without the stress of making sure things are “perfect”, Better than Perfect is a fundamental guide for all who seek new, fulfilled, and empowered lives.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 30
S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It's a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn't necessarily mean "get over it" or "pull yourself together" (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary): "Shut Up" means stop what you're doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential; "Move On" means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don't just think about it, take action.

Based on their workshops and counseling experience, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and at times humorous look at a problem that affects everyone: students and scientists, secretaries and executives, homemakers and salespeople.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 30
S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It's a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn't necessarily mean "get over it" or "pull yourself together" (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary): "Shut Up" means stop what you're doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential; "Move On" means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don't just think about it, take action.
