AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

*Includes an interview with James Hollis*

Provocative and appealing . . . Well worth your extremely limited time. --Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal

There's a good reason why everyone has been talking about Oliver Burkeman's New York Times bestseller, Four Thousand Weeks. Nobody needs to be told there isn't enough time. Whether we're starting our own business, or trying to write a novel during our lunch break, or staring down a pile of deadlines as we're planning a vacation, we're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and ceaseless struggle against distraction. We're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient and life hacks to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and yet the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks, the average length of a human life.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with getting everything done, Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we've come to think about time aren't inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we've made as individuals and as a society--and that we can do things differently.

If productivity systems tend to let you down, reading The PLAN will be such a relief.

Most time-management books leave you feeling inadequate, focusing on greatness and optimization. But what if you want to simply live your life without chasing productivity at every turn? Is there a way to manage your time without being at its mercy?

Absolutely, and The PLAN will show you how.

In her signature Kind Big Sister style, Kendra Adachi offers a fresh take on managing your time. Using the memorable acronym PLAN, you will learn to prepare, live, adjust, and notice like a Lazy Genius, all through the lens of what matters to you in your current season. With The PLAN, you'll

- discover two beliefs that will change your time management forever
- integrate your hormones, personality, and life stage into your planning process
- use the Lighten the Load framework to get your stuff done
- experience freedom from the crushing pressure of greatness, potential, and hustle
- live wholeheartedly today

Refreshingly compassionate and immediately practical, The PLAN is what you've been waiting for.

If the answer is yes then this book is for you!

Your time is very limited. An average person may get 80 summers in their entire life if they're lucky. A good amount of your life has already passed. When you put the time in this way, it doesn't appear too much. And yet you keep procrastinating, wasting time on things that don't matter to you. Is this how you want to live your entire life, or do you want to take charge of your life? You still have time; now let's put an end to this and finally start living.

Life is beautiful, and laziness stops you from enjoying your life. It stops you from achieving your goals or starting anything new. It stops you from achieving your full potential.

This book will teach you:

• How to overcome laziness and start working on your dream life
• How to improve your productivity and do more in less time
• How to start living a better life

Life becomes complicated when you realize that the motivation to start or delay a task is a tug-of-war between positive and negative emotions. Don't blame lack of willpower, laziness, or low motivation if you aren't achieving your goals.

Motivation is not a skill. Like a muscle, it's subject to fatigue when stretched. That's why fascinating research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology has revealed another reason you may feel paralyzed to take action--one with the potential to dramatically transform your life.

In this completely updated edition of Dr. Nick Hall's popular book, he shows you how to unlock the biochemical code that will free you to easily achieve any goal in life. And while the biochemistry may be complex, the solutions are actually quite simple.

What's your excuse? This book examines ten of the most common excuses for inaction and gives you specific strategies for dealing with each one. You will learn--

• An extraordinarily powerful stress-fighting tool that few take advantage of
• An easy way to instantly regain control and stay focused in an emotional emergency
• The mistake almost everyone makes when they organize their to-do list
• The way to reset your internal clock for a positive impact on your energy level--and more

The secret to productivity isn't discipline. It's joy.

We think that productivity is all about hard work. That the road to success is lined with endless frustration and toil. But what if there's another way?

Dr Ali Abdaal - the world's most-followed productivity expert - has uncovered an easier and happier path to success. Drawing on decades of psychological research, he has found that the secret to productivity and success isn't grind - it's feeling good. If you can make your work feel good, then productivity takes care of itself.

In this revolutionary book, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' we must overcome to beat procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and help us achieve lasting fulfillment. He recounts the inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists who embody the principles of Feel-Good Productivity. And he introduces the simple, actionable changes that you can use to achieve more and live better, starting today.

Armed with Ali's insights, you won't just accomplish more. You'll feel happier and more fulfilled along the way.

Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time. --Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal

The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.

Nobody needs telling there isn't enough time. We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and life hacks to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on getting everything done, Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we've come to think about time aren't inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we've made as individuals and as a society--and that we could do things differently.

New York Times Bestseller A habit expert from Stanford University shares his breakthrough method for building habits quickly and easily. With Tiny Habits you'll increase productivity by tapping into positive emotions to create a happier and healthier life. Dr. Fogg's new and extremely practical method picks up where Atomic Habits left off.

There are many great books on the topic [of habits]: The Power of Habit, Atomic Habits, but this offers the most comprehensive, practical, simple, and compassionate method I've ever come across. --John Stepper, Goodreads user

BJ FOGG is here to change your life--and revolutionize how we think about human behavior. Based on twenty years of research and Fogg's experience coaching more than 40,000 people, Tiny Habits cracks the code of habit formation. With breakthrough discoveries in every chapter, you'll learn the simplest proven ways to transform your life. Fogg shows you how to feel good about your successes instead of bad about your failures.

This proven, step-by-step guide will help you design habits and make them stick through positive emotion and celebrating small successes. Whether you want to lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or be more productive each day, Tiny Habits makes it easy to achieve--by starting small.

Filled with practical advice to help you curb your unhelpful obsessions and build boundaries between your work, your job, and your life--How to Not Always Be Working is for any- and everyone who wants to create a sacred space in their lives.

Part workbook, part advice manual, part love letter, How to Not Always Be Working ventures into the space where phone meets life, helping you define your work (what we do out of sense of purpose), your job (what we do to make money), and your breaks (what we do to recharge). These boundaries help us reconnect with ourselves and the people who matter most to us. It addresses complex issues such as what to do if your work and your job are connected, provides insights to help you figure out how much is too much, and offers suggestions for making the best use of your time.

Essential for everyone who feels overwhelmed and anxious about our hyper-connected world--whether you're an office worker, a student, a salesperson, or a yoga instructor--How to Not Always Be Working includes practical suggestions and thoughtful musings that prompt you to honestly examine your behavior, how you burn yourself out, and why you're doing it. A creative manifesto for living better, it shows you how to carve sacred space in your life.

Written for the bread-baker trying to do something that's just for themselves to the corporate lawyer who's always on email--and everyone in between--How to Not Always Be Working includes everything from actionable suggestions such as sleeping with your phone in a different room to philosophical prompts that invite readers to ask how they burn themselves out and why they're doing it.

In a world obsessed with squeezing the most out of every moment, the fear of falling behind can trap us in a paralyzing stress cycle. Incomplete to-do lists, unanswered emails, and unmet life goals haunt our thoughts, leaving us overstimulated and exhausted.

In Time Anxiety, Chris Guillebeau, author of the popular newsletter A Year of Mental Health, reveals that this pervasive sense of time scarcity stems not from a lack of hours in the day but from unrealistic expectations and misaligned priorities. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive functioning challenges, and the psychological roots of avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.

The first step is to build a tolerance for incomplete to-do lists and the inevitability of disappointing people, abandoning the goal of catching up. We have to set our own limits because no one else will. From there, Guillebeau guides readers through a process of:

• Identifying cognitive distortions that make routine tasks feel high-stakes, regulating the nervous system through grounding techniques and breathwork, and embracing the goal of good enough
• Uncovering the unwritten time rules that govern our days (I return phone calls within an hour or I reply to every email the same day, without exception) and creating new rules that better serve us

• Weighing the trade-offs between competing values and priorities so we can invest our finite energy wisely, operating out of an empowered rather than a fear-based state

Machines are designed to run constantly; people aren't. Our coping mechanisms are meditation apps, weekend breaks and annual holidays, but things soon revert. To prosper, we need a more sustainable approach -- an ability to pause.

Do Pause looks at the importance of this subtle yet powerful idea to communication, creativity, relationships -- as well as our wellbeing and sanity. With practical tools to help you create new habits or make more significant lifestyle choices, you'll discover ways to:

• Reset and regenerate
• Deepen your thinking and experiences
• Take back control of your time
• Reconnect with other people - and yourself

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families is Stephen R. Covey's newly revised and updated paperback edition of the New York Times bestseller that offers precious lessons in creating and sustaining a strong family culture in a turbulent world.

In his first major work since The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey presents a practical and philosophical guide to solving the problems--large and small, mundane and extraordinary--that confront all families and strong communities. By offering revealing anecdotes about ordinary people as well as helpful suggestions about changing everyday behavior, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families shows how and why to have family meetings, the importance of keeping promises, how to balance individual and family needs, and how to move from dependence to interdependence. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families is an invaluable guidebook to the welfare of families everywhere.

Our most precious resource isn't money. It's time. We are allotted just twenty-four hours a day, and we live in a culture that keeps us feeling time poor. Since we can't add more hours to the day, how can we experience our lives as richer?

Based on her wildly popular MBA class at UCLA, Professor Cassie Holmes demonstrates how to immediately improve our lives by changing how we perceive and invest our time. Happier Hour provides empirically based insights and easy-to-implement tools that will allow you to:

-Optimally spend your hours and feel confident in those choices
-Sidestep distractions
-Create and savor moments of joy
-Design your schedule with purpose
-Look back on your years without regrets

Enlivened by Holmes's upbeat narrative and groundbreaking research, Happier Hour is filled with loads and loads of practical, evidence-based advice for how to live better by investing in what really matters. It's the kind of book that can change your life for the better (Laurie Santos, Yale professor and host of The Happiness Lab podcast).

Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track--what we come to know as habits. Over time, these routines (like brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we're more mindful about these actions--when we focus on the precise way they are performed--they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a habitual mindset to a ritual mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.

Think about the way you savor a certain beverage, the care you take with a particular outfit that gets worn only on special occasions, the unique way that your family gathers around the table during holidays, or the secret language you enjoy with your significant other. To some, these behaviors may seem quirky, but because rituals matter so deeply to us on a personal level, they give our lives purpose and meaning. Drawing on a decade of original research, Norton shows that rituals play a role in healing communities experiencing a great loss, marking life's major transitions, driving a stadium of sports fans to ecstasy, and helping us rise to challenges and realize opportunities.

Compelling, insightful, and practical, The Ritual Effect reminds us of the intention-filled acts that drive human behavior and create surprising satisfaction and enjoyment.

If you want to live a life of purpose, build good habits and achieve your goals, there is one skill that is more important than anything else: Self-Discipline.

Self-discipline is not about punishment, it's about self-respect. It is not about being inflexible, but about living your best life. It is the superpower of focus in a world of distractions - allowing you to overcome procrastination, excuses, bad habits, low motivation, failures, and self-doubt. With it, you can stay on track with your values and goals even through the times when you are least inspired.

Self-discipline allows you to choose who you want to be and live by design rather than by default.

As a meditation teacher and self-discipline coach, Giovanni Dienstmann has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, ambitious professionals, artists and pro athletes to live a more focused and disciplined life. Since 2014 he has been successfully coaching people to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage. Whatever self-discipline challenge you face, whatever excuse you are telling yourself - Mindful Self-Discipline is a collection of all these years of experience, converted into a tool for you to use.

This revolutionary book is a comprehensive and practical guide for you to develop self-discipline in a balanced way - without beating yourself up. It emphasizes the use of mindfulness and awareness as key components for building habits, rather than forcefulness and willpower. If you have tried other methodologies and failed, then this is for you.

This manual for living your life purposefully contains:

• Over 50 step-by-step exercises
• Over 100 illustrations and diagrams
• Links to the scientific studies about each topic
• Many, many examples - all to make it as easy as possible for you to actually apply all this knowledge and transform your daily life.

If you have tried other approaches (Miracle Morning, Atomic Habits, Willpower Instinct, Tiny Habits, Discipline is Freedom, Hooked, Can't Hurt Me) and didn't get the results you were after, then this is for you. Mindful Self-Discipline goes much beyond building habits, time management, and forcing yourself. It is gentler, more achievable, and rooted in living a life of purpose.

Think you are not made to be self-disciplined? Think again.

Life these days can feel like an endless, exhausting to do list with far too many to-dos and not nearly enough time to complete them. Self-help gurus will tell you to time block, to wake up at five am, to try the Pomodoro method, and get rid of everything in your life that doesn't spark joy--but the reality is you can't bullet journal your way out of exhaustion. Instead, science journalist Amy Arthur argues for a radical new approach. We must learn to manage not our time, but our energy.

While time passes at the same rate for everyone, energy expenditure is as fluid and as individual as our personalities. In PACE YOURSELF, Arthur draws on cutting edge research as well as her experience managing her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, to walk readers through how to find and maintain their ideal pace of life. Featuring experts across science, technology, history and philosophy, PACE YOURSELF lays out what we know about our bodies' energy stores: how we make it, how we use it, how we often waste it, and what we can do to renew our relationship with it. Some of the ideas presented are at the forefront of scientific and medical research, from fields like nutrition, biology, psychology and physics. Others are exercises that you can complete on a spare sheet of paper, but that are sure to reshape how you think about the energy you spend throughout your day.

It is time we stop lying to ourselves that we can do it all. PACE YOURSELF introduces readers to a vital new framework to know their limits, work within them, and, ultimately, watch themselves flourish in this new, balanced pace of life.

True productivity is less about getting things done; it is more concerned with stewarding priorities, time, and resources wisely and faithfully in a way that honors God. In Every Day Matters Brandon Crowe provides an accessible and biblical understanding of productivity filled with practical guidance and examples.

Crowe draws insights from wisdom literature and the life and teaching of the Apostle Paul to reclaim a biblical perspective on productivity. He shows the implications for matters such as setting priorities and goals, achieving rhythms of work and rest, caring for family, maintaining spiritual disciplines, sustaining energy, and engaging wisely with social media and entertainment.

A track record of closing visits the same day (97-100% of the time), rarely running late, and leaving on time every day earned me the nickname of The World's Most Productive* Nurse Practitioner. Learn my secrets for staying on track at work, maintaining YOUR ideal work-life harmony, the questions to ask BEFORE you accept an offer that will let you know whether your potential new workplace views (and values) time the same way you do, and so much more.

All the things that you DON'T learn in school are waiting for you in this book. Buy it for yourself if you are about to graduate; give it as a gift for a new NP; pick it up and read it before you accept another job offer that could leave you burnt out and questioning whether leaving the floor as an RN was really the right choice (it was!).

Cheaper than board reviews, and healthier than a cup of coffee or a bottle of wine, this is pretty much the BEST $13.95 you could spend to prepare yourself for practice in all the ways that school didn't. And it's an easy read, with a sense of humor - what's the last book you read that you could say that about? I'll wait...

A fully revised and updated edition complete with a new foreword by the author of the best-selling meditation book for women that The New York Times says should be put at the top of the stack.

Take a deep breath and step back from the overload - that exhausting combination of work, chores, caring for children and meeting everyone's needs but your own- and let the warm-hearted humor, inspirational wisdom, and reassuring reminders from women around the world help to create a much deserved relief from the whirlwind of everyday life. These 365 enduring meditations provide all the inspiration and guidance necessary to relax, refuel and, most importantly, celebrate all that you do.
