When do we become adults? What does it mean to grow up? And what are the experiences that propel us forward — or keep us stuck? These are the questions that journalist Moya Sarner sets out to answer as she begins training as a psychotherapist. But as she delves further into her own mind and others’, she soon realises that growing up is far from the linear process we imagine it to be. So begins a journey of discovery into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives. From early adulthood through to old age, When I Grow Up examines each life stage, interrogating the traditional markers of adulthood and finding new ones. Through conversations with grown-ups from all walks of life, and through her own experiences and training, Sarner probes deep into our psyches to discover how we grow and develop, and what we need to thrive throughout our lives.

Grief carries a weight that can be hard to put down. Grief is stagnant, whereas we are constantly in transition; life is change and change includes loss. Every loss can include gifts and gain, though we must move through the loss without side-stepping or denying it. How can we move through grief? How can we get through each day, much less the entire process?Honoring Loss, Growing Through Grief, by Moya McGinn Mathews, E-RYT500, YACEP(R), provides a holistic approach to healing through the experience of grief and loss. The book offers Yoga practices, guided meditations and visualizations, and journaling exercises aimed to reorient the griever in deep attitudes of self-compassion for healing at every level - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Grief may be unique, but you are not alone in it. -- Reader reviews: Honoring Loss, Growing Through Grief is a book that I wish I had been able to suggest to patients during my forty year career as a psychotherapist. I remember vividly the words of a woman who said to me that, in her grief, "I forgot that I had a body." Moya McGinn Mathews is both a wise and knowledgeable teacher and practitioner of yoga as well as woman who generously shares her own life with the reader honestly. One knows that this is a trustworthy voice and a guide who knows her way. Denise M. D'Aurora, M.Ed., Psychologist Emerita, Eden Prairie, MNThis self-care book not only has inspiring and accessible yogic tools for coping and healing from all types of grief, it also actually feels like a conversation with a wise woman who has, "been there and done that." Moya's years of experience and teaching shines through this book to the reader, like a much needed conversation and sound, applicable advice. I highly recommend this book for all who are experiencing grief of any kind, including navigating the world we are living in today.

Thirteen extraordinary people from around the world share their experiences with choosing beyond where they have ever been and what it created in their lives. We have all been to the place where we felt like we could not take another step in our lives. Then we do, and all of life opens up. Ready to dip your toes into the pond of possibilities and play? Are you ready to call in the magic that could be your life? We are here to embrace the instantaneous energies of possibility. This book shares some amazing creation tools and ways to open to a life which may not have been fathomed yet. What if everything we were told about how to have a joyful, amazing life was total bunk up to this point? Could taking one more step expand all possibilities available? We've all chosen to keep going after being knocked down or disappointed. If everything is energy, what energy could we be to create the life we desire? What could we choose that could open the energies of our lives? If we keep merely existing the way we always have, we will keep experiencing the same things again and again. How much fun has that been? Could choosing beyond where we have been be more of a contribution to what we would like in our lives? What if it is easier than we think? Contributors include Carol Updike Reinlie, Lisa Henriksson, Max Riggs, Sigrid Welder, Alun Jones, Lee Flanagan, Tim Forrest, Tamara Robeer, Sara Buchanan, Moya Finer, Arlene Manning, Kevin Kitrell Ross and Tanja Barth. How much fun could we have exploring the energies of possibility? What magic could we be out in the world?
This book takes a fresh look at the novels and short stories of Albert Camus, from his early attempt at a first novel, "La Mort heureuse," to the largely autobiographical "Le Premier homme," unfinished at the time of his death. It seeks to see the "oeuvre" as a totality, coherent throughout, and examines the linkages and transformations from one work to the next, in the context of Camus's thought, attitudes and topoi or themes. The development of narrative techniques is examined, ranging from laconism to lyricism, from allegorism to realism, from humour to biting satire. The author traces the influence on Camus's thought of philosophers and thinkers as diverse as Nietzsche and the pre-Socratics on the one hand, and St Augustine, Pascal, and Simone Weil on the other, and considers the circularity of his work, from the early preoccupation with the finality of death and the search for meaning to the return to the origin and source in "Le Premier homme." The enduring appeal of Camus's work is attributed to its humane openness and its challenges for our time.

This beautifully illustrated book on landscape gardening addresses shrubs and how to determine which you should plant among your perennials and where. Shrubs provide the foundation for a pleasing, yet low-maintenance garden. They are long-lived, have the ornamental appeal of perennials, and provide variety in color, size, shape, and texture, as well as shelter and berries for birds. Shrubs can make attractive arrangements indoors and provide seasonal variation through the entire year. Gillian Harris's illustrations are botanically correct works of art that make this book absolutely irresistible.
Poets pay close attention to the movie that life makes for us. These poems are a testament to the beauty that lies in every day, and to the poignant artistic frustration that comes with witnessing injustice in life. Pull up a chair and prepare to be inspired.
We are strongly inclined to believe in moral responsibility - the idea that certain human agents truly deserve moral praise or blame for some of their actions. However, recent philosophical discussion has put this natural belief under suspicion, and there are important reasons for thinking that moral responsibility is incompatible with both determinism and indeterminism, therefore potentially rendering it an impossibility.Presenting the major arguments for scepticism about moral responsibility, and subjecting them to sustained and penetrating critical analysis, Moral Responsibility lays out the intricate dialectic involved in these issues in a helpful and accessible way. A well-written and lively account, the book then goes on to suggest a way in which scepticism can be avoided, arguing that excessive pre-eminence given to the will might lie at its root. Offering an alternative to this scepticism, Carlos Moya shows how a cognitive approach to moral responsibility that stresses the importance of belief would rescue our natural and centrally important faith in the reality of moral responsibility.

A USA Today and LA Times Bestseller "A force to be reckoned with. Funny, creative, and full of courage and charming sass. What It Takes will give you the tools you need to create your own success story." --Sarah Kauss, founder and CEO of S'well "An inspiring story for anyone who wants to change their career, play by their own rules, and build a successful business in the process." --Rebecca Minkoff, founder and creative director Founder of global baby brand aden + anais Raegan Moya-Jones doesn't hold back on what it really takes to build a $100 million business from her kitchen table. Raegan Moya-Jones never thought of herself as an entrepreneur. She was full-time corporate cog in her thirties, with a family to help support. Sick of her micromanaging boss, she quietly started a company in the wee hours of the morning while her daughters were asleep--and once that side business, aden + anais, hit the $1 million mark in revenue, she quit to work on it full-time, which now generates over $100 million a year in revenue. In this riveting, vulnerable story, What It Takes is Moya-Jones' tell-all and brutally honest advice to entrepreneurs--especially women--about how to succeed despite all odds. It doesn't take an MBA to be your own boss. If Moya-Jones, an outspoken Aussie and college drop-out, could build a business from the ground up, anyone can. Moya-Jones digs into topics most entrepreneurs shy away from, even the prickliest of things like mother guilt, butting heads with investors (or co-founders), and what to really do when you're running out of money. There's no magic formula to build a business, which also mean you don't have to look or act a certain way to be successful. This empowering story from one of today's most fascinating founders will show the hopeful entrepreneur or career changer that she doesn't have to know it all. This story is about staying true to who you are, trusting your gut, and harnessing your unique talent. Do you have what it takes to jump in?
