It's on me : accept hard truths, discover your self, and change your life / by Kuburic, Sara,author.(CARDINAL)878753;
Part I: the self -- What is self-loss? -- What is the self? -- What is life asking of me? -- Part II: the self you lost -- What causes self-loss? -- How does society perpetuate self-loss? -- Where do I end and others begin? -- Part III: the self you live -- Mental decluttering: create space for who you really are -- The body, electric: reconnect and communicate with your body -- Feel it all: experience and express your emotions -- Part IV: the self you are -- The art of being your self."So many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, or trapped-in our roles and relationships, in cycles of self-sabotage and wrong decisions, by our toxic patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy-or to feel something. Many of us struggle to like the person wesee in the mirror. According to Sara Kuburic, it doesn't have to be so difficult. Really. Instead of pushing harder or running faster, the secret lies in taking full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It's about slowing down, cutting through the clutter of demands and expectation, and finally taking ownership of this person we call our "Self." Now, Kuburic unpacks "self-loss," giving us new vocabulary to understand our unarticulated experience, and offers tools she's usedfor years to help her clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life, rather than living it. Guiding us through the process of self-reflection, acceptance, and discovery, Kuburic proves that we can: · experience but not feel overpowered by our emotions · establish a healthy connection to our bodies · set loving boundaries to define ourselves and heal our relationships · declutter our physical and mental environments to create space for ourtrue selves to thrive · find meaning and purpose in a seemingly meaningless world"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-270).

Like streams to the ocean : notes on ego, love, and the things that make us who we are / by Jenkins, Jedidiah,author.(CARDINAL)783265;
Ego -- Family -- Home -- Friendship -- Love -- Work -- Death -- The soul."A moving meditation on the hidden, sometimes difficult topics we must consider to live an authentic life, from the New York Times bestselling author of To Shake the Sleeping Self. We aren't born into a self. It is created without our consent, built on top of our circumstances, the off-handed comments we hear from others, and the moments that scared us most when we were young. But in the busyness of our daily life, we rarely get the chance to think clearly about the questions that matter most. Who am I? Where do I belong? How much of who I am and what I do boils down to avoiding the things that make me feel small? We tuck these questions into the corner of our minds, but they drive our behavior far more than we give them credit for, even after we become adults. Writing with the passion and clarity that made his debut, To Shake the Sleeping Self, a national bestseller, Jenkins makes space to explore the seven topics we must think about in order to live a deeply considered life: ego, family, work, love, nature, death, and the soul. He considers the experiences that shape us into who we are, whether they're as heart-pounding as a rafting trip through the whitewater of the Grand Canyon, or as ordinary as the moment when we look in the mirror each morning. Through it all, Jenkins leads readers on a wide-ranging conversation about finding fulfillment in the people and places around us, and discovering the courage to show our deepest selves to the world. Like Streams to the Ocean is a profound reflection from one of our most original writers, a necessary read for anyone seeking a companion on the road to understanding."--

Joy : and 52 other very short stories / by McGraw, Erin,1957-author.(CARDINAL)776223;
America -- Comfort (1) -- Comfort (2) -- Compliments -- The tenth student -- Second sight -- Phantom -- Cloth -- Friendship -- Hallelujah day -- Haircut -- Rock and roll -- L.A. -- Before -- Spice -- Learning -- Hope -- Breaking glass -- Sympathy -- Ava Gardner goes home -- Law and order -- Love -- Management -- Snitch -- Edits -- Hello from an old friend -- Cat -- Nobody happy -- Soup (1) -- Soup (2) -- Soup (3) -- Song -- Fat -- Pebble -- Pariah -- Priest -- Artist -- Parable -- Happiness -- Dogs -- Job -- Wedding gown -- Joy -- Peru -- Necropolis -- Honor -- Bucket (1) -- Bucket (2) -- Cliché -- Nutcracker -- Stingers -- Teeth -- Prayer.Claire Messud described Erin McGraw's last collection of stories as "at once laugh-out-loud funny and utterly serious, [exploring] life's profundity through its details." This is even more true with McGraw's new collection, Joy. In these very short stories, narrators step out of themselves to explain their lives to us, sometimes defensively, sometimes regretfully, other times deceitfully. Voices include those of the impulsive first-time murderer, the depressed pet sitter, the assistant of Patsy Cline, the anxiety-riddled new mother, the aged rock-and-roller, the girlfriend of your husbandhuman beings often (incredibly) unaware of the turning points staring them in the face. Crossing time, states, class, and religions, McGraw's stories are on the edge, causing you to wince even as you laugh. And McGraw will draw you to a deep need to read some sentences alouda sweet voice, a shrewd insight, some uneasy charm.

Lola at last / by Peterson, JC,author.;
"Move over, Elizabeth Bennet. The most infamous Bennet sister is here to tell her story. Join Lola Barnes, a.k.a. a modern Lydia Bennet, at the beginning of a summer gone truly wrong: where a boat party-turned-fiery-fiasco ends with the ship, Lola's summer plans, and her reputation truly sunk. (The boat was barely on fire, for the record--and all the partygoers were just fine.) Luckily, this disaster of a summer has another thing in store for her: a path of self-discovery she never saw coming. Given an ultimatum--jail time, or spending the summer with the nonprofit Hike Like a Girl--she laces up her hiking boots and takes to the wilderness. Along the way, she'll encounter unexpected friends, a sweet romance, strength she didn't know she had--and herself, Lola, at last. This Pride and Prejudice-inspired tale, a companion to J. C. Peterson's Being Mary Bennet, spins a modern Lydia Bennet's life into a tumultuous and hilarious coming-of-age journey, complete with misadventures, misunderstandings, mayhem, and a romance worthy of Darcy and Elizabeth themselves."--
