Often described as transformational, 'Interpersonal Dynamics' has been the most popular elective course on the Stanford Graduate School of Business MBA for forty-five years. Distilled into a book for the first time, Dr David L. Bradford and Dr Carole Robin use seventy-five years of their teaching on the course to explain how to build more powerful and satisfying relationships with colleagues, partners and friends. The structure of the book follows the general arc of relationships, with real-life examples from the course, the authors' work with organisations, their own personal lives and even their working relationship with each other. Focusing on relationship-building through self-awareness, engagement, communication, building trust and giving and receiving feedback, the practical takeaways and memorable concepts have been honed over decades of teaching. At the end, self-assessments help to deepen the reader's learning. It's the proven route to better, more fulfilling relationships at home and at work. ...Show more

Breath - The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor

Category: Self Help

There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing- take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how t o fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of S o Paulo, Brazil. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test longheld beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, halt snoring, allergies, asthma and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again. ...Show more

Category: Self Help

Astrologer Stephanie Gailing offers a modern approach to the ancient healing art of astrology using foods, essential oils, flower essences, spa therapies, relaxation practices, and other healing tools as they relate to each astrological sign. The keys to wellness are written in the stars. In The Complet e Guide to Astrological Self-Care, astrologer Stephanie Gailing offers a modern approach to the ancient healing art of medical astrology. From impulsive Aries to balance-seeking Libra, methodical Virgo to sensitive Pisces, each astrological personality is distinct, with specific needs of body, mind, and spirit. Divided into twelve chapters, one for each astrological sign, The Complete Guide to Astrological Self-Care illustrates in words and images the natural remedies and wellness techniques customized for each sign. Every chapter begins with an overview of the general qualities of that particular sign as they relate to health and wellness, including the specific parts of the body associated with that sign. Gailing then presents five holistic health approaches, with a number of sign-specific suggestions for each approach, including: • Dietary approaches to wellness and specific health-supporting foods (for instance, a Taurus should grow their own herbs and use honey as their sweetener, while Capricorns should break out of their routine and try new foods, as long as they incorporate lots of calcium-rich greens into their diet) • Spa therapies that are particularly advantageous (couples' massage is great therapy for Libras, while Aquarians resonate with Reiki) • Recommended relaxation practices and yoga poses (Virgos should garden to unwind, while swimming is what the Piscean needs to find inner peace) • Beneficial essential oils for use in aromatherapy (frankincense can inspire Leos, while clary sage nurtures Cancers) • And finally, a listing of the best flower essences for each sign (impatiens is for Aries, and Sagittarians will take to agrimony) Align your self-care routine with the stars with The Complete Guide to Astrological Self-Care. Elegantly designed and beautifully illustrated, the Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia series offers comprehensive, display-worthy references on a range of intriguing topics, including dream interpretation, techniques for harnessing the power of dreams, flower meanings, and the stories behind signs and symbols. ...Show more
