Category: Self Help & Relationships

Even if you're not an activist (yet), at a time when the news is written for clicks and elections are foight with three-word slogans, it's crucial to preserve some record of events that isn't 'fake news' or political spin. In part, this book is my attempt to counter the re-writing of how Australia achie ved one of the most significant social changes in a generation. Sally Rugg is one of Australia's most influential campaigners for social change. HOW POWERFUL WE ARE is her manifesto for championing what you believe is right. In these pages Sally will teach you some of the things she learnt on the marriage equality campaign: how to develop a strategy, how to frame your messages, how to get your campaign to the media, how to build community power. And she'll share with you the much harder lessons learnt: the consequences of campaign decisions; how to weather criticism and harassment from every angle; and how, in mass campaign movements, nothing is black and white. ...Show more

Is There Still Sex in the City? by Candace Bushnell

$32.99 AUD

Available Stock:
6

Category: Self Help & Relationships | Reading Level: near fine

Twenty years after her sharp, seminal first book Sex and the City reshaped the landscape of pop culture and dating with its fly on the wall look at the mating rituals of the Manhattan elite, the trailblazing Candace Bushnell delivers a new book on the wilds and lows of sex and dating after fifty. Set between the Upper East Side of Manhattan and a country enclave known as The Village, Is There Still Sex in the City? follows a cohort of female friends--Sassy, Kitty, Queenie, Tilda Tia, Marilyn, and Candace--as they navigate the ever-modernizing phenomena of midlife dating and relationships. There's "Cubbing," in which a sensible older woman suddenly becomes the love interest of a much younger man, the "Mona Lisa" Treatment--a vaginal restorative surgery often recommended to middle aged women, and what it's really like to go on Tinder dates as a fifty-something divorcee. From the high highs (My New Boyfriend or MNBs) to the low lows (Middle Age Madness, or MAM cycles), Bushnell illustrates with humor and acuity today's relationship landscape and the types that roam it.   Drawing from her own experience, in Is There Still Sex in the City? Bushnell spins a smart, lively satirical story of love and life from all angles--marriage and children, divorce and bereavement, as well as the very real pressures on women to maintain their youth and have it all. This is an indispensable companion to one of the most revolutionary dating books of the twentieth century from one of our most important social commentators. ...Show more

Ask yourself - Do I need it? Do I love it? Do I use it? Bestselling author and happiness expert Gretchen Rubin explores one of her key secrets to happiness: that, for most of us, outer order leads to inner calm. A messy desk or a cluttered cupboard might seem like a trivial matter, yet Rubin has found that by simply organising our stuff, we free up space for what we truly value (in our lives and in our homes). This new, beautifully packaged gift book with over 150 concrete ideas approaches the problem of how to best organise our possessions with Gretchen Rubin's characteristic clarity and humour, explaining how to: 'Make Choices', 'Create Order', 'Know Yourself - and Others', 'Cultivate Helpful Habits' and, of course, 'Add Beauty'. Leading on from both Happiness at Home and The Four Tendencies this book is filled with practical insights, clear strategies and sometimes surprising tips, and will help readers find what works best for them to regain control to lead happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative lives.   ***PRAISE FOR THE FOUR TENDENCIES*** 'There's something rather profound going on here: an advancing of self-knowledge, and mutual human understanding, which could surely be harnessed as a recipe for world peace' Daily Telegraph 'A genius' Guardian 'If you want to change anything in your life, you need Gretchen Rubin' Viv Groskop, journalist and Rebel 'I love Gretchen Rubin - she helps me understand both myself and the people around me' Cathy Rentzenbrink, Obliger and bestselling author of The Last Act of Love ...Show more

Fair Play: A Win-Win Solution for Women with Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky

$32.99 AUD

Available Stock:
5

Category: Self Help & Relationships

A revolutionary, real-world solution to the problem of unpaid, invisible work that women have shouldered for too long--from a woman tapped by Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine as the expert on this topic for a new generation of women. Eve Rodsky is changing society one marriage at a time with a twenty -first-century solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering the brunt of domestic responsibilities, regardless of whether they work outside the home. The unequal emotional labor and "invisible work" in marriage is a hot-button issue, but no one has offered a real solution to this dilemma, until now. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually is and how to get it done efficiently. The resulting time- and sanity-saving system offers a completely original lexicon that identifies the 100 main tasks in any marriage and then divides those tasks fairly (not necessarily equally!). Fair Play allows couples to renegotiate all of the work it takes to run a home--and empowers them to reimagine their relationship, time, and purpose. With four easy-to-follow rules and a figurative card game played with your partner, winning means rebalancing your home life and reclaiming your Unicorn Space--as in, the space to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Let's deal you in. ...Show more

Blue Sky Mind: The Art of Meditation

$29.99 AUD

Available Stock:
5

Category: Self Help & Relationships

Your mind has two aspects. Maybe you are only familiar with one - the active thinking mind with all its attendant emotions. Blue Sky Mind will introduce you to the other half - the still mind. While meditation does involve getting to know both aspects of your mind better, more particularly it provides a reliable way to become familiar with the still mind. This aspect of the mind is renowned for its innate inner peace and clarity, loving kindness and wisdom. Meditation introduces us to the still mind with direct certainty. It then helps us to function with confidence from its centre wherein all the qualities we aspire to as good people are to be found. Blue Sky Mind is intended to be a highly accessible introductory book to meditation, something that everyone will find informative and useful for establishing and deepening their own meditation practice. Ian's first meditation book, Peace of Mind (1987) was one of the first books on meditation published in Australia and was followed by Meditation: Pure and Simple. Blue Sky Mind combines the best of Ian's first two books with fresh material, guidance and insight into the art of meditation.  ...Show more
