Title: FEELING SEEN (Paperback Book)
Psychology / Interpersonal Relations

Disconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together - a reconnection revolution.
Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn't enough any longer. Connection is what we're wired for, and it can be easy: waving at your neighbour, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to reconnect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we've been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often misses: the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this truth: when we're feeling seen, we will rise.
Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see - in ourselves as well as one another - our differences, our sorrows and our joys.

"Transformative." - Greg McKeown, New York Times bestselling author of Essentialism and Effortless
Change your mindset from problem-focused ("yes, but") to opportunistic ("yes, and") using omdenken, the Dutch art of flip thinking - from the bestselling author and founder of the omdenken philosophy.
Imagine this: You've got a great idea, and all you hear are the yes-buts.
"Yes, but that's been tried before, and it didn't work."
"Yes, but shouldn't we just let it sit for a while?"
"Yes, but what if it doesn't work?"
Published in English for the first time, this international bestseller introduces the power of omdenken - or flip thinking - to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic thought into an inventive, curious mindset, so you can stop saying "yes, but" to life, and start saying "yes, and."
In this riveting book, Berthold Gunster presents fifteen strategies to transform your thoughts away from limitations and negativities and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works), Gunster's strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems - whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner - in a whole new way.

Title: FLUKE : CHANCE , CHAOS AND WHY EVERYTHING WE DO MATTERS (Hardcover Book)

Want to know what chaos theory can teach us about human events? In the perspective-altering tradition of Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan comes a provocative challenge to how we think our world works - and why small, chance events can divert our lives and change everything, by social scientist and Atlantic writer Brian Klaas.
If you could rewind your life to the very beginning and then press play, would everything turn out the same? Or could making an accidental phone call or missing an exit off the highway change not just your life, but history itself? And would you remain blind to the radically different possible world you unknowingly left behind?
In Fluke, myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas dives deeply into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people's neat and tidy storybook version of reality. The book's argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives - and our societies - could be radically different.
Offering an entirely new lens, Fluke explores how our world really works, driven by strange interactions and apparently random events. How did one couple's vacation cause 100,000 people to die? Does our decision to hit the snooze button in the morning radically alter the trajectory of our lives? And has the evolution of humans been inevitable, or are we simply the product of a series of freak accidents?
Drawing on social science, chaos theory, history, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Klaas provides a brilliantly fresh look at why things happen - all while providing mind-bending lessons on how we can live smarter, be happier, and lead more fulfilling lives.

A psychologist confronts our pervasive misunderstanding of anxiety and presents a powerful new framework for reimagining and reclaiming the confounding emotion as the advantage it evolved to be.
We taught people that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease - prevent it, avoid it, and stamp it out at all costs. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books, and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay. A third of us will struggle with anxiety disorders in our lifetime and rates in children and adults continue to skyrocket.
That's because the anxiety-as-disease story is false - and it's harming us.
In this radical reinterpretation, Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary argues that anxiety is an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers. Although it's related to stress and fear, it's uniquely valuable - allowing us to imagine the uncertain future and compelling us to make that future better. That's why anxiety is inextricably linked to hope.
By distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, including her own, combining it with real-world stories and personal narrative, Dennis-Tiwary shows how we can acknowledge the discomfort of anxiety and see it as a tool, rather than something to be feared and reviled. Detailing the terrible cost of our misunderstanding of anxiety, while celebrating the lives of people who harness it to their advantage, she argues that we can - and must - learn to be anxious in the right way.
Future Tense blazes the way for a paradigm shift in how we relate to and understand anxiety in our day-to-day lives - a fresh set of beliefs and insights that allow us to explore and leverage even very distressing anxiety rather than to be overwhelmed by it. Through this new prism of thinking, even anxiety disorders can be alleviated. Achieving a new mindset will not fix anxiety itself - because the emotion of anxiety is not broken; the way we cope with it is. By challenging our long-held assumptions about anxiety, this book provides a concrete framework for how to reclaim it for what it has always been - a gift rather than a curse, and a source of inner strength, joy, and ingenuity.

In this transformative guide, TikTok's most popular gardener, Marcus Bridgewater - aka Garden Marcus - offers lessons for growth rooted in lessons from the plant world to help cultivate the soul.
Marcus Bridgewater has been compared to Bob Ross and Mister Rogers for his soothing TikTok videos that relate botany to humanity. A gardener "who shares tips about caring for one's plants and oneself" (New York Times) and "is not only a trove of information if you're looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the pandemic-induced chaos happening in the world" (Vogue), his soothing observations on plants and life have made him a social media star. In caring for over 600 plants, Marcus has gained invaluable wisdom. Life inside us yearns to grow; like plants, humans maximize their potential when presented with the right conditions. Through care and attention, he reminds us, we can successfully cultivate growth.
Centered on a trinity of wellbeing - Mental Health, Physical Fitness, and Spiritual Awareness, How to Grow weaves together insights from the garden with stories from Marcus's life to help you foster personal development. With lessons rooted in his experiences gardening - from how a replanted flourishing sweet potato vine is a reminder that all living things benefit from a change of scene, to how to embrace patience to foster growth - this inspiring guide helps you do "the dirty work" (pun intended) to discover kindness, patience, and positivity within. "We cannot make anything grow," he advises. "But we can foster an environment where it may grow."
How to Grow isn't a gardening book. It is a self-help book that draws inspiration from the garden. Original, timely, and filled with nurturing wisdom, it takes perennial knowledge from plants to teach us about ourselves and opens our eyes to what we are capable of achieving.
