This One Wild and Precious Life by Sarah Wilson

$35.00 AUD

Available Stock:
8

Category: Self-Help

In This One Wild and Precious Life, Sarah Wilson explores the central disorder of modern existence: disconnection from ourselves, disconnection from community, disconnection from the preciousness of life on this planet  This One Wild and Precious Life is a journey of the soul, a case for why we need to cast off our too-tight psychic apparel and step bravely into the uncertainty of 'giving a fuck', the whirlpool of finding purpose, and the perilousness of connecting fully, passionately and unequivocally to life again. Sarah's journey pivots from her own anxiety and feeling of disconnection, as she takes the reader on a three-year odyssey to reconnect with the life she feels we are losing via a series of hikes around the world. Throughout, she brings together science and spiritual understandings ('East meets West'), following in the footsteps of artists, poets and philosophers, to amplify the conversation that the world wants and needs to have right now. Elegantly written and uncannily prescient, this is the perfect book for this difficult era of climate carnage and COVID-19, that goes well beyond the data and the political toing and froing, a compelling argument for turning collective crises and shared malaise into rocket fuel for personal and social transformation. And a better world.   ...Show more

Untold Resilience by Future Women

$33.00 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Self-Help

We are not the first generation to live through something as seismic and all-encompassing as the coronavirus pandemic, even though it can feel right now like we are. But when it comes to the stories of the wars, financial crises and diseases that have threatened our societies in the past century, most often they are told from the male viewpoint. That's why the brilliant journalists at Future Women want to rewrite these triumphs over tragedy from the vantage point of the heroic women who survived them, too, with their own struggles at home. Quiet Resilience is a collection of remarkable true stories that invites us to discover how seemingly ordinary women from older generations - those aged 80+ today - have weathered the storms of their lives and times, and that shares the lessons we can apply in our lives today. It celebrates our adaptability, survival skills and the persistence of the female human spirit. The 18 women's stories are being beautifully told in the first person by Future Women founder and CEO, Helen McCabe, and her team of journalists which includes Jamila Rizvi (Not Just Lucky and The Motherhood), who is their Chief Content Officer. So many examples of generosity, kindness, empathy and connection shine through from these tales, bringing much-needed reassurance that we will be okay, we will make it through, the good in people will prevail. Quiet Resilience is a book filled with heart, soul and hope. ...Show more

The Space Between by Michelle Andrews; Zara McDonald

$33.00 AUD

Available Stock:
6

Category: Self-Help

There’s this weird gap in life that’s fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila – also known as our twenties. It’s a specific limbo of being suspended between being a teenager and a Proper Adult, and though it’s wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there’ s also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. It’s a time when we’re finding our own voices, making up our own minds, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are). Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald, creators of the award-winning pop culture podcast Shameless, are two of the many twentysomething women trying to make sense of it all. They definitely don’t have all the answers but they know that mapping out our place in the world is a little bit easier when we do it together. Brimming with wit and unflinching honesty, here are their stories and personal puzzles about life as twentysomethings: from heartbreak and mental health challenges to overcoming career setbacks and letting go of fear. (Not forgetting the deeper meaning behind the state of their fridges and why it’s so damn good to ghost out of a friend’s party.) Join Zara and Michelle as they navigate their journeys between the women they are now and who they want to be. You just might find tiny pieces of yourself in the space between the first page and the last. ...Show more

And Now, for the Good News...To the Future with Love by Ruby Wax

$33.00 AUD

Category: Self-Help

When was the last time that reading the news made you feel good? Dear Reader, I know what you're thinking, is it some kind of macabre joke? Has she been in a coma? How can Ruby Wax write a book about good news when the world is facing the worst disaster since the Plague? Let me explain. I began writing in 2018, back when the world's worries were somewhat different. Climate change, greedy bankers, exam results, crap politicians, mental health: these are still HUGE ISSUES, but even the ancient soothsayers reading pig entrails couldn't have predicted this. This is my new mission: to share the green shoots of hope peeping through the soil of civilization. Literacy is at an all-time high, world-hunger is likely to be eradicated this century, technological improvements are saving lives ­- just to scratch the surface. I've talked to everyone from leaders to scientists to tech geniuses. I've done the research and practiced what I preach. And my conclusion? Behind the clouds, the sun still shines. So here's to the shoots - may they become a blueprint for how the world can shift for the good. Hopefully we'll learn from them. Love, Ruby ...Show more

Category: Self-Help

What does it mean to live wisely and well in the twenty-first century? And how should we go about doing it? These are the most important questions to ask ourselves and the ones we most often avoid dealing with. This insightful, witty and generous book reveals one simple answer to the question of a good life- emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence will not make you into a perfect person. It will not save you from moments of self-doubt, frustration or lost temper. Instead it will allow you to understand that these moments are completely normal, completely human, and that there is no such thing as perfect. There is only good enough - and that really is good enough. ...Show more
