You matter. : learning to love who you really are / by Emerzian, Matthew,author.(CARDINAL)592881;
"Transform the way you live your life with a message of unexpected hope, radical joy, and deep connection. You matter. Not because of what you earn or how you look or what you've achieved, but because you are inherently valuable. Author Matthew Emerzian takes this seemingly simple premise and shows readers how truly understanding their own worth will change every aspect of their lives. You Matter is a call to empathy and a joyous celebration of the value of each and every person. The book is structured into three sections, each of which expands the concept in ever widening ripples. In the first section, "I Matter," readers come to terms with their own worth, in "You Matter" that awareness expands to acknowledge and celebrate the value of the people around us, and finally in "We Matter" Emerzian explores the power of a thriving community with those around us. Each chapter features exercises, journal prompts, and conversation starters to help readers dive deeper. Author Matt Emerzian is the founder of Every Monday Matters, a not-for-profit dedicated to spreading the message of self-worth and compassion to people throughout the world. Every week 1.2 million people-from elementary school children to employees at national corporations-engage with ideas and concepts from Every Monday Matters. You Matter is a manifesto of self-esteem and call to action for people to find their meaning and live fully-and change the world while doing so"--

You were never broken : poems to save your life / by Foster, Jeff,author.(CARDINAL)410576;
"At one time, Jeff Foster wanted to die. After a lifetime of self-loathing, crippling fear, and attempts to numb his own feelings, he was left on the verge of suicide. It was only when he opened himself completely to his emotions-both the unbearable and the wonderful-that he stopped seeking death and started truly living. In You Were Never Broken, Foster explores this transformation through poetry so raw and vulnerable that you too will feel the full triumph of his journey. Whether exploring life's uncertainties or the joy of personal realization, Foster's poems embrace the full spectrum of human experience"--

You don't have to change to change everything : six ways to shift your vantage point, stop striving for happy, and find true well-being / by Kurland, Beth,author.(CARDINAL)889684; Health Communications, Inc.,publisher.(CARDINAL)525227;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 316-323).One of the most significant sources of suffering comes from our human tendency to avoid difficult emotions. We are not taught how to face these unpleasant, often daily inner experiences (mind-body energies) and so we tend to push them away, ignore them, or become unwittingly overwhelmed by them. Yet how we meet and greet these difficult emotions has everything to do with our well-being, resilience, and ability to connect with ourselves and others. Instinctually, we fight against our uncomfortable emotions; in doing so, we reinforce messages of "not good enough" or "something is wrong with me that I am feeling this way." In You Don't Have to Change to Change Everything, readers learn that instead of forcing themselves to feel "happy" and pushing away what is unpleasant, or instead of getting hooked by intense emotions, another path can lead to more profound well-being. Rather than trying to change one's inner experiences, this book offers six ways to shift one's vantage point when difficult emotions arise. Being aware from each of these six vantage points allows readers to cultivate inner stability, willingness to turn toward rather than away from themselves, greater perspective, internal strengths and inner resources, self-compassion, connection with the "Whole Self" versus identification with "hole self," and interconnection with the world around them.

Take your own advice / by Marsh, Jeffrey,author.(CARDINAL)413165;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-244).Stop trying to be confident and start unconditionally accepting yourself -- Stop trying to be authentic and start speaking from the authority of your experience -- Stop saying "I don't know what to do" and start admitting that you're just afraid to do the wrong thing -- Stop trying to belong and start creating the spaces you want to belong to -- Stop trying to control what other people think of you and start changing what you think of you -- Stop trying to avoid anger and start standing up to abuse -- Stop trying to get your life together and start enjoying unpredictability -- Stop trying to avoid your pain and start wearing your pain as a badge of honor -- Find the light."For those who are givers, carers, and empaths, a guide to focusing that energy on yourself-even if that feels frightening, from popular LGBTQ+ activist and advocate Jeffrey Marsh. Like many of us, Jeffrey Marsh was conditioned to have an outward focus-to give to others, to be a good listener, and to be the one who gave the best advice. In Marsh's case, it was a method of survival. Growing up genderfluid in an unaccepting family, Marsh did everything they could to meet the needs of others and not have needs of their own. And ultimately, this meant Marsh put themself in the backseat of their own life. In this heartfelt and sincere book, Marsh shares their story and the lessons they learned on the path back to themselves. Whether you're a survivor of abuse and trauma like Marsh or you've passively accepted that your worth ought to be defined by your usefulness to others, Take Your Own Advice will give you the confidence to lead your life on your terms, and to prioritize what's important: you. It's time that you learn to put yourself first, to take care of yourself, and to ask others to listen to you for a change. You do give the best advice, after all!"--

Del amor propio al amor al otro : habilidades para transitar la vida / by Sordo, Pilar,1965-author.;
"Las consecuencias espirituales de la pandemia, el contexto mundial, la desconexión con nosotros mismos y la necesidad del amor propio como condición para amar al otro son el punto de arranque de este libro conmovedor, que nos interpela directamente a encontrar dentro del silencio de cada uno el camino para transitar por la vida conociéndonos, aceptándonos y cuidándonos. Con su destacada trayectoria como psicóloga, Pilar Sordo comparte experiencias personales y estudios de campo, y plantea una propuesta puntual que nos permita reconsiderar nuestra postura ante la vida moderna. A través de reflexiones y ejercicios, el lector de este libro se convertirá en un alumno de la vida, cambiando el miedo por la curiosidad, siendo flexible y paciente, para comprender que lo único que permanece es el cambio y sólo tenemos el poder de controlar nuestra actitud ante lo que sucede. La autora profundiza acerca de la necesidad de cuestionar nuestras creencias y afirma que la felicidad requiere coraje, y que la inteligencia espiritual es un elemento clave para vivir en paz, de forma consciente y amando al otro sanamente"--Amazon.com.
