About this listen
Begin Again.... Life is daily improv...so is caregiving and a good life. Try these first eight ideas. They insure survival.
These eight rules will, when practiced, get you to a more grounded place to access a good life, well lived...no matter what is in front of you today.
Begin Again...with an inner fulcrum. They will give you an inner fulcrum to stand because they are about staying alive. They are also about the possibility of returning to your own center. If you go no further than this, you will benefit from increased vitality, and general health. That’s enough. That’s a blessing.
The first eight ideas will heal you - enough. This is not a guarantee, but a promise to show you how I did it while caregiving a difficult, diva mother. If they work their magic on you, you will become grounded enough to make better, more loving decisions for yourself and your beloved who is infirm. Otherwise, we remain too stressed and not only likely to fall ill, but be ill prepared for future life without them (…or beside them, as fate permits).
Begin Again... with eight bite-sized daily rules. When practiced, this book with its eight rules will keep you centered in the challenges of caregiving. They are my rules to life by.

Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight, helping us to discover what matters most. Life and death are a package deal. They cannot be pulled apart, and we cannot truly live unless we are aware of death. The Five Invitations is an exhilarating meditation on the meaning of life and how maintaining an ever-present consciousness of death can bring us closer to our truest selves.

The practice of mindfulness is most often touted for its profound mind, body, and spirit benefits. Shelly Tygielski here shows that mindfulness can also be a powerful tool for spurring transformative collective action. In a winning combination of memoir, manifesto, and how-to, Tygielski shares her evolution from a Jerusalem-born child of traditional Sephardic Orthodox parents to a middle-class American suburban youth who questioned her faith to a young executive in corporate America.

Ten years ago, Sarah Prout walked away from an abusive marriage with two suitcases, two kids, and $30,000 in debt. Today she is happily married, running a million-dollar business, and helping people around the world achieve the life of their dreams. She credits her success to manifesting and the law of attraction, beliefs that thinking positive or negative thoughts attracts positive or negative experiences into your life. Prout’s message is simple - when you choose to guide your emotions, the Universe will show up and support you to find success, love, and more.

The practice of mindfulness is most often touted for its profound mind, body, and spirit benefits. Shelly Tygielski here shows that mindfulness can also be a powerful tool for spurring transformative collective action. In a winning combination of memoir, manifesto, and how-to, Tygielski shares her evolution from a Jerusalem-born child of traditional Sephardic Orthodox parents to a middle-class American suburban youth who questioned her faith to a young executive in corporate America.

This book is a call to action based on one simple concept - that personal freedom is a choice. Beth Kempton went from being a life-loving, risk-taking adventurer to a grown-up, settled down mother-wife-business owner before realizing the life she had built was suffocating her. She set out to find her personal freedom and along the way discovered that many others were also feeling hemmed in, suffering from anxiety, depression, and physical pain, exhausted, disconnected, and sad.

From infancy we are taught to edit ourselves, trimming out the darker, weirder, less acceptable parts in order to please others. But this addiction to approval is holding us back. What if we begin to be ourselves, honestly and fully? Insanely Gifted shows how to transform our thinking and turn our inner demons into allies. How to reframe disappointment (because not getting what we want can be as interesting and useful as getting what we want).
