Описание: The first book to explain the new science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity. After years of watching her students struggling with their choices, health psychologist Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., realized that much of what people believe about willpower is actually sabotaging their success. Committed to sharing what the scientific community already knew about self-control, McGonigal created a course called "The Science of Willpower" for Stanford University's Continuing Studies Program. The course was an instant hit and spawned the hugely successful Psychology Today blog with the same name. Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, McGonigal's book explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters. Readers will learn: * Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. * People who have better control of their attention, emotions, and actions are healthier, happier, have more satisfying relationships, and make more money. * Willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health. * Temptation and stress hijack the brain's systems of self-control, and that the brain can be trained for greater willpower. In the groundbreaking tradition of Getting Things Done, The Willpower Instinct combines life-changing prescriptive advice and complementary exercises to help readers with goals ranging from a healthier life to more patient parenting, from greater productivity at work to finally finishing the basement.

Описание: The first of a new Yorkshire trilogy of novels by the bestselling author of SHODDY PRINCE and A COMPLICATED WOMAN. Flamboyant and fun-loving, Kit Kilmaster rebels against the constraints of Victorian society and pursues her dreams. But as Kit is to learn, there is a high price to pay for happiness...While her brothers and sisters shoulder the burdens of poverty and resign themselves to a life of drudgery, the voluptuous Katherine Kilmaster yearns for better things. Though her kin try to curb her buoyant nature and instil in her a sense of duty, Kit's craving for the good things in life is too strong. Dismissed from one job after another, she promises to reform but never does. And when her generous heart tempts her into dangerous situations with young men above her station, the family are scandalized by Kit's brazen attitude -- although that doesn't prevent them accepting a share in the material rewards. For a time Kit revels in the life of a courtesan, launching herself upon London Society, until an unexpected consequence of her free-and-easy lifestyle stops her in her tracks. Thrust back into claustrophobic village life, Kit falls prey to malicious gossip, and then to tragedy. Overwhelmed by events, she finally heeds the advice of her well-meaning family, and is almost destroyed in the process. But then a chance encounter promises to deliver the husband and children she has always wanted -- provided her shameful secret is not revealed...

Описание: Forty years after they ended, the 1960s continue to fascinate us. The decade was a pivot point of the 20th century, a watershed period when society, politics and culture underwent a series of shattering changes. Abroad, it was an era bristling with confrontation and crisis, from cold war showdowns in Berlin and Cuba to a long, ugly war in Vietnam. At home, it was a time of social upheaval, as a new generation of idealistic youngsters challenged the values of their elders. Now Time captures the 1960s in all their swirling glory and lingering heartache in an expansive gallery of the photographs that define the decade. Here are the great faces: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Che Guevara; Arnold Palmer and Twiggy; Muhammad Ali and Andy Warhol. Here are the great events, from the historic landing on the moon to the high times of Woodstock to the assassinations of three inspiring young American leaders. Here are the pulsating currents that drove social change, from the streets of Birmingham, Ala., to Washington's National Mall, from London's Carnaby Street to the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. Yes, the times, they were a-changin'. And, fortunately, photographers were a shootin'. The result is a close encounter with a world that has vanished, but which roars back into vivid life in this fascinating, indispensable volume. Turn the pages and tune in to the highs and lows of one of the most exciting periods in American history: the '60s.
