Publisher's summary
Being Yourself Exercise (B.Y.E) is a method of change, and when practiced in sessions with your therapist, the outcomes are that of self-discovery and (potentiality) a new beginning. It can be used as self-help and a method of reflective practice in all aspects of one's life. My selection of a work setting is based on what I consider most the practical illustration. However, Being Yourself is about a sense of wholeness, and not a fragmented randomness or an emotional turmoil around choices. It is a powerful exercise and signals (if only through its acronym) closure to a conflict between values and standards. V.A.L.I.D.A.T.E. is about both empowerment and recognition.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.

Finally, in the first productivity book by a woman in a decade, Erin Falconer will show you how to do less - a lot less. In fact, How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to offload, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest. In How to Get Sh*t Done she shows how even the most perfectionistic among us can tap in to our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses rather than drudges.

A large and growing body of research highlights the value of getting ‘lost’ to improve our resilience and our mental health. That could mean literally wandering outdoors in nature or letting our minds do the wandering by sitting with negative thoughts and unpleasant emotions, rather than constantly trying to fight or push them away. Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim’s life, Lost & Found is a new kind of self-help book that invites all of you to the table: the bad and the good, your failures and your successes, challenges and breakthroughs.
