When having it all becomes doing it all: a guide to mastering the mental load. Feeling overwhelmed is just part of the deal, right? *breathes into a paper bag*.' - Turia Pitt'The woman still shoulders the lion's share of all the other unpaid work required. She pays a high price for this . . .' - Jane C aroThere's never been a better time to be a woman - we can have it all! That's what feminism promised, didn't it?When Felicity Harley, founding editor of Women's Health magazine and whimn, felt really off kilter, she started talking to other women about their overwhelm. The floodgates opened. Turns out her girlfriends, colleagues and other mums at the school gate were also drowning in feminist guilt while trying to keep everything afloat; plagued by perfectionism, riddled with doubt, ruled by screens and hurtling towards burnout.As we juggle the roles of partner, boss, friend, mother and employee (plus a side hustle), balance has never been more crucial. We're obsessed with 'wellness', yet women's mental health and wellbeing are in decline.Using her own experiences, research and insights from leading Australian experts in health, sociology and feminism, and wisdom from smart women like Tanya Plibersek and Fifi Box, Felicity calls out the crap in 'cult wellness'. In her warm and inspiring way, she shows how you can cut through the B.S. to find clarity in the chaos, shed some of your mental load, and feel truly empowered in the middle of your wonderfully messy life. ...Show more

$29.95 AUD

Category: Self Help

Slow down, own who you really are and unleash your inner brilliance. You already have everything you need to become truly brilliant -- to lead a successful, fulfilling life -- even though it doesn''t always feel like it. When everything external to us is moving so quickly, we feel out of control and exh austed; we worry about what we don''t have or what we need more of; we seek solutions to band-aid our perceived imperfections and doubts. Crowded calendars and unending demands at home and work give us little time to look internally -- though it is within each of us where the answers can be found. At a time when we suffer from unprecedented stress, comparison-itis and self-doubt, author Janine Garner asks us to slow down and turn our focus inward. She challenges you to take ownership of who you are and who you want to become, to rise above limitations, and unleash your brilliance within. Learn the 4 Laws of Brilliance and explore how to: * discover and own your spotlight * harness your natural energy * connect and collaborate with intent * enhance and magnify your influence. Be Brilliant helps you get out of your own way and unlock your true potential.   ...Show more

Strive - Embracing The Gift Of Struggle by Adam FRASER

$29.95 AUD

Category: Self Help

Picture paradise. What does it look like? I am sure there is plenty of money. Nice things, of course lots of nice things. Flash cars, expensive clothes, big ...... no enormous houses, swimming pools, jewellery.... hell yes Really offensive amounts of jewellery. Mmmmmmm something is missing? Work or ra ther the lack of work. Work does not exist in paradise or at the very least work that has very little stress and expectations. Sounds good doesn't it. The stuff of dreams? Wanna go? Counterintuitively if you want to have a fulfilled life, if you want to have good self esteem and if you want to be the best version of yourself, you would avoid paradise like the plague. How do I know, well I have been to paradise and it totally changed the way I viewed happiness. Because the paradise I went to is killing peoples souls. This insight all started with a phone call. I was walking down George Street in Sydney when my mobile phone rang. Upon answering it I was greeted by a woman with a very thick arabic accent. She said " My name is Intisar I saw you present at the Dalai Lama happiness conference we would like you to come to come to Kuwait to join a team of people to help make the country happier." My initial thought was 'of course you do, I get these calls all the time', I thought for certain this has to be a scam. Then my sceptical mind thought that my mates had paid this woman to prank call me. You see they do this all the time. They once hired an actor who convinced me that 60 Minutes was going to do a story on my research. Thinking that this was there doing I started being so rude to this woman, I demanded payment in rubies. I said to her I will need a camel. As expected she was shocked and questioned this request. But I stayed firm and said the camel is a deal breaker, I must have the camel. I can't remember what it was she said, but have you ever had that moment where your body goes hot from embarrassment.' I realised this is real. The most mortifying part was that the woman who 's I was being incredibly rude to goes by the title Sheikha which means princess in Kuwait. Luckily we got past this embarrassing introduction and for the last four years I've been going to Kuwait to work on this project. What stunned me about this project is the reason why their happiness levels are dropping. To put it simply it's too easy to live there, they have too much money. The average government employee works between one and five hours per week. That is if they show up at all This book is the results of working with a population who have everything they want. While the Kuwaities are beautiful people and I've truly fallen in love with their country, they are empty. They are like the walking dead, who exist but don't really live. The lack of challenge, struggle and setback has robbed them of living a fulfilled life. After reading this book people will never view happiness, struggle, meaning and fulfilment the same. Best of all it will give people practical strategies and behaviours to live a much more joyous, meaningful and fulfilled life.   ...Show more
