• Can I keep up my spinning classes?
• Is fish safe to eat? And what’s this I hear about soft cheese?

You will—and you’ll find solutions for them all. Expecting multiples? There’s a chapter for you. Expecting to become a dad? This book has you covered, too.

The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are Book 1 of 1: The Gifts of Imperfection | by Brené Brown

 

 

Brené Brown’s game-changing New York Times bestseller, The Gifts of Imperfection, has sold more than 2 million copies in more than 30 different languages and is celebrating its 10th Anniversary in print. Forbes magazine named Gifts one of the "Five Books That Will Actually Change Your Outlook On Life." Through this self-help classic we find courage to overcome paralyzing fear and self-consciousness, strengthening our connection to the world and helping us to believe we are worthy of self-discovery, personal growth, and boundless love.

A motivational and inspiring guide to wholehearted living, rather than just the average self-help book, with this groundbreaking work Brené Brown, Ph.D., bolsters the self-esteem and personal development process through her characteristic heartfelt, honest storytelling. With original research and plenty of encouragement, she explores the psychology of releasing our definitions of an “imperfect” life and embracing living authentically. Brown’s “ten guideposts”  are benchmarks for authenticity that can help anyone establish a practice for a life of honest beauty—a perfectly imperfect life.

Now more than ever, we all need to cultivate feelings of self-worth, as well as acceptance and love for ourselves. In a world where insults, criticisms, and fears are spread too generously alongside messages of unrealistic beauty, attainment, and expectation, we look for ways to “dig deep” and find truth and gratitude in our lives. A new way forward means we can’t hold on too tightly to our own self-defeating thoughts or the displaced pain in our world. Instead, we can embrace the imperfection.

Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day by Jay Shetty

 

 

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.

When you think like a monk, you’ll understand:
-How to overcome negativity
-How to stop overthinking
-Why comparison kills love
-How to use your fear
-Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it
-How to learn from everyone you meet
-Why you are not your thoughts
-How to find your purpose
-Why kindness is crucial to success
-And much more...

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents.

Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast.

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.

La sarta di Parigi di Georgia Kaufmann e Maria Carla Dallavalle

 

 

New York, 1991. Rosa Kusstatscher ha costruito un impero della moda sul suo gusto squisito e la capacità di indovinare l'abito perfetto per ogni occasione. Ma stasera, mentre si prepara per l'incontro più importante della sua vita, l'usuale sicurezza vacilla. Si sforza di trovare il vestito adatto e scegliere la giusta tonalità di rossetto e, nel farlo, inizia a raccontare la sua vicenda straordinaria. La storia di una povera ragazza di montagna, originaria di un piccolo villaggio del Sud Tirolo. Dell'occupazione nazista e della fuga dall'Italia di notte. Della speranza e del dolore straziante in Svizzera; del glamour e dell'amore a Parigi; dell'ambizione e della perdita a Rio de Janeiro; del successo e della scoperta di sé a New York. Una vita passata a correre, solo adesso Rosa se ne rende conto. È una donna che ha conquistato il mondo. Ma a quale prezzo? In parte ispirato alle vicende della madre e della nonna dell'autrice, "La sarta di Parigi" è un romanzo storico che racconta la vita avventurosa di una donna forte e affascinante e che, tra eventi epocali, amori e protagonisti indimenticabili, accompagna il lettore attraverso i continenti e cinquant'anni di storia del Novecento.

I segreti di Parigi. Luoghi, storie e personaggi di una capitale di Corrado Augias

 

 

Parigi è senz'altro una delle capitali europee più visitate dagli italiani, eppure quasi nessuno si discosta dagli itinerari consueti: Tour Eiffel, Notre-Dame, Quartiere latino, Champs-Elysées. In questo modo i luoghi, le opere d'arte, i monumenti, "logorati" dalla loro stessa celebrità, finiscono per appiattirsi e diventare semplici figurine da collezionare, ma allora non fa più molta differenza guardarne la riproduzione seduti sul divano di casa o l'originale nella realtà. Con questa nuova e arricchita edizione del suo best seller "I segreti di Parigi" Corrado Augias, fine e appassionato conoscitore della Ville Lumière, ci guida alla scoperta dei suoi angoli più appartati, delle tracce meno appariscenti del suo luminoso passato, ci fa conoscere artisti e personaggi entrati nella leggenda che hanno vissuto in quei "cinquemila ettari del mondo dove si è più pensato, più parlato, più scritto". Così ogni pagina rivela alcuni dei tanti "segreti" della città o racconta episodi - tragici, comici, sentimentali, macabri, eroici ed erotici - che hanno trovato in Parigi, capitale della vecchia Europa, il luogo ideale per passare alla storia: dai torrenti di sangue (finto) sul palcoscenico del Grand-Guignol ai fiumi di alcol (vero) che alimentarono la poesia di Verlaine e la pittura di Utrillo, dagli amori mercenari delle mademoiselles di Pigalle agli attacchi isterici delle pazienti di Charcot nei reparti della Salpëtrière...

Parigi. Con carta estraibile di Catherine Le Nevez , Christopher Pitts, e al.

 

 

Perfetta per un breve soggiorno, questa guida pratica e facile da usare raccoglie il meglio della città: che cosa vedere, itinerari e segreti del posto per vivere un'esperienza indimenticabile.

Il cigno nero di Parigi di Karen Robards e Vivaldi Anna

 

 

Parigi, 1944. La celebre cantante Genevieve Dumont è una star coinvolta in operazioni di spionaggio. Venerata dai nazisti, la sua posizione di privilegio le permette di passare inosservata come alleata della Resistenza. Ma quando la madre, con cui ha allentato i rapporti, Lillian de Rocheford, viene catturata dai nazisti, Genevieve è sconvolta. Sa che non passerà molto tempo prima che la Gestapo riesca a estorcere a Lillian informazioni chiave sull'imminente invasione alleata. Il movimento della Resistenza ha il compito di metterla a tacere ricorrendo a ogni mezzo necessario, compreso l'assassinio. Ma Genevieve non può permettere che la madre diventi un'altra vittima della guerra. Riunitasi con la sorella, deve trovare il modo di attraversare la Francia occupata senza essere scoperta: una missione estremamente pericolosa, in cui chiunque potrebbe far saltare la sua copertura, e una corsa contro il tempo scandita da rischi continui. Riuscirà a salvare la vita di Lillian?

La biblioteca di Parigi di Janet Skeslien Charles e Roberta Scarabelli

 

 

Parigi, 1940. I libri sono la luce. Odile non riesce a distogliere lo sguardo dalle parole che campeggiano sulla facciata della biblioteca e che racchiudono tutto quello in cui crede. Finalmente ha realizzato il suo sogno. Finalmente ha trovato lavoro in uno dei luoghi più antichi e prestigiosi del mondo. In quelle sale hanno camminato Edith Wharton ed Ernest Hemingway. Vi è custodita la letteratura mondiale. Quel motto, però, le suscita anche preoccupazione. Perché una nuova guerra è scoppiata. Perché l'invasione nazista non è più un timore, ma una certezza. Odile sa che nei momenti difficili i templi della cultura sono i primi a essere in pericolo: è lì che i nemici credono che si annidi la ribellione, la disobbedienza, la resistenza. Nei libri ci sono parole e concetti proibiti. E devono essere distrutti. Odile non può permettere che questo accada. Deve salvare quelle pagine, in modo che possano nutrire la mente di chi verrà dopo di lei, come già hanno fatto con la sua. E non solo. La biblioteca è il primo luogo in cui gli ebrei della città provano a nascondersi: cacciati dalle loro case, tra i libri si sentono al sicuro, e Odile vuole difenderli a ogni costo. Anche se questo significa macchiarsi di una colpa che le stritola il cuore. Una colpa che solo lei conosce. Un segreto che, dopo molto tempo, consegna nelle mani della giovane Lily, perché possa capire il peso delle sue scelte e non dimentichi mai il potere dei libri: luce nelle tenebre, spiraglio di speranza nelle avversità.

La piccola Parigi di Massimiliano Alberti, Giorgio Cociani, e al.

 

 

Un omaggio a una delle tante perle che, nel corso della storia, la regina della Senna ha "nascosto" nei sobborghi di molte metropoli europee. Vicoli stretti, costruzioni basse e rustiche. Proprio come a Montmartre, nel grembo della bella e unica Trieste tante piccole case sorgono accatastate una vicina all'altra, in un'area che ricorda lo spirito Bohémien ma senza le notti del Moulin Rouge o de Le Chat Noir. Niente Cancan. Storie di sola gente e di gente sola, in questo luogo. Talvolta di andate e di ritorni. Di calzini appesi accanto al fuoco e di corti umide. Storia d'amore e d'amicizia. Di Lorenzo e di Marie Jeanne. Del matto Willy Boy e dei suoi "pen pen" urlati al cielo. Di Tullio e di Christian. Di gatto Benny e gatta Maria. Della Dea Incantatrice e Assassina: la Brown Sugar. Storia di mamma Rosalia. Di una carta da gioco appiccicata su di un muro in una viuzza nascosta. E di un rione ormai dimenticato fra nuovi e sovrastanti palazzi. Benvenuti nella Piccola Parigi. "Non state sognando, esiste realmente...!". (Brigitte Bardot) Parte dei diritti d'autore derivanti dalla vendita di questo libro sono devoluti in beneficienza a "Il Gattile" di Trieste.

Senza più esitare: Un'ipocondriaca a Parigi di Lucilla Ferretti

 

 

Ero messa male, veramente male. Improvvisamente un giorno d'estate, mentre stavo facendo una nuotata al mare sperimentai il primo attacco di panico. Ero al largo e mi accorsi che non riuscivo più a nuotare. Pensai che sarei sicuramente annegata. Riuscii a tornare a riva con un espediente, ma quello fu solo l'inizio. A seguire arrivò la paura dell'aereo, del treno, dei tunnel in autostrada, della metropolitana, degli ascensori e infine la paura della paura di un attacco di panico. Il mio campo d'azione si restringeva sempre di più, soffocandomi. Per me che amo tanto viaggiare, significava scivolare in una prigione dalla quale era impossibile evadere perché le mura erano invisibili. Dopo anni di passaggi inconcludenti e dispendiosi da uno psicologo all'altro, finalmente mi venne un'idea: lasciare tutto e trasferirmi a Parigi. Perché Parigi? Così d'istinto, forse perché l'amavo prima ancora di innamorarmene. Così è iniziata la mia avventura.

How to Be Italian: Eat, Drink, Dress, Travel and Love La Dolce Vita by Maria Pasquale

 

 

Delve into the art of loving and living in every moment.

'Italian' is as evocative a word as any, but what does it really mean? The answer is a lifestyle that many envy, from one of the world's most beloved countries - aperitifs and the art of drinking coffee. Feast days and a quiet August. Cities steeped in history, where the past is always present and countless style and fashion icons reside. In a country where wine is produced in every region, food is deeply entrenched in tradition, and some of the world's greatest artists, composers, and thinkers have lived, passion is everywhere and la dolce vita thrives.

This book is a celebration of what it means to be from Italy - an education in drinking to savour the moment, travelling indulgently, and dolce far niente - the sweetness of doing nothing. From the innovation of Italian fashion and design, the golden age of its cinema, the Roman Empire's cultural echoes, and some very good espresso, take a dip into the Italian psyche and learn to eat, love, dress, think, and have fun as only Italia can.

Minimalista: Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Better Home, Wardrobe, and Life by Shira Gill

 

 

Elevate your personal style, trim your belongings, and transform your life, one room at a time, with this visionary lifestyle and home organization book from professional organizing expert, Shira Gill.

As a professional home organizer with clients ranging from students to multi-millionaires, Shira Gill observed that clutter is a universal stress trigger. Over the years she created a signature decluttering and organization process that promotes sustainability, achieves lasting results, and can be applied to anyone, regardless of their space or lifestyle. Rather than imposing strict rules and limitations, Shira redefines minimalism as having the perfect amount of everything—for you—based on your personal values and the limitations of your space. 
 
Now, in Minimalista, Shira shares her complete toolkit for the first time, built around five key steps: Clarify, Edit, Organize, Elevate, and Maintain. Once you learn the methodology you'll dive into the hands-on work, choose-your-own-adventure style: knock out a room, or even a single drawer; style a bookshelf; donate a sweater. Shira teaches that the most important thing you can do is start, and that small victories, achieved one at a time, will snowball into massive transformation. Broken into small, bite-sized chunks, Minimalista makes it clear that if the process is fun and easy to follow, anyone can learn the principles of editing and organization.

The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times (Global Icon Series) by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams

 

 

In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?

Looking at the headlines--a global pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, political upheaval--it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.

In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist and Douglas Abrams, internationally-bestselling author, explore--through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue--one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.

Told through stories from a remarkable career and fascinating research, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? Filled with engaging dialogue and pictures from Jane’s storied career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in today’s world.

And for the first time, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope: from living through World War II, to her years in Gombe, to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. She details the forces that shaped her hopeful worldview, her thoughts on her past, and her revelations about her next--and perhaps final--adventure.

There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

The Gap and The Gain: The High Achievers Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Dr. Hardy

 

 

As he did in WHO NOT HOW, Dr. Benjamin Hardy shares one of Dan Sullivan’s simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on “The Gap,” but successful people focus on “The Gain.”

Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of what they measure themselves against. We all have an ideal, which is like a moving target always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against our ideal, we’re in “The Gap.” However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves—the person we were when we set our goals and ideals—we will be in “The Gain.” In “The Gain” we can more clearly see the progress we’ve made, and therefore will experience the happiness, confidence, and satisfaction that come from achieving—positive, powerful emotions that will motivate us to pursue new goals and ultimately become increasingly successful.
