"Kristel Bauer inspires people to wake up, get off autopilot, and make the positive changes we need for more happiness and success." —Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief, Entrepreneur magazine “Stress happens when we focus too much on our own success at work. Kristel Bauer gives us all permission to let go and embrace a healthier balance, one where purpose and intentionality reign supreme.” —John Brandon, Forbes columnist The familiar concept of work-life balance endures, but does anyone actually boast of having a healthy ratio of work and personal time? Very few do, because our model for work/life leads to burn out - it asks individuals to chase a dream where work and life are both equal and distinct, where the demands of one do not contradict the demands of another. Simply giving 100% to the twin pillars of your life will not give you the work/life balance you crave. The good news is, there's a much more intelligent, holistic and effective way to live your life. Life has never fit into tidy little boxes. Family and social needs don't stop between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and work pressures bleed into the hours between 5:01 p.m. and 8:59 a.m. all the time. And since the pandemic, the lines have become even more blurred, with remote workers bearing the brunt of the impact. It's time to embrace new wellness strategies, This book will show how taking a holistic and integrative approach to the complex demands of life and work will transform your happiness and productivity. The book will contain three parts. · Part I will focus on strategies to thrive as an individual; specifically, maintaining a healthy mind and body by prioritizing oneself. You'll learn how to integrate healthy lifestyle habits into and throughout your workday, so that taking care of yourself won't compete with productivity but will support it. · Part II will focus on thriving at work. You'll learn about checkpoints and how to use these moments to wake up and realign your well-being with your personal mission. You'll learn how to create healthy boundaries, work through the common challenges that remote workers face and provide approachable solutions that you can immediately start integrating into your work life. Team leaders will gain key insights for managing remote and flexible teams so that they can create the conditions for success. · Part III is about thriving in relationships. While community and connection are vital to well-being, many workers struggle to form and maintain these bonds. This book will explain why connection is vital, and show how to encourage it. By identifying your personal mission and integrating the wellness strategies provided in The Work-Life Tango, you'll be able to show up 100% in all aspects of life-in your career, for your family and friends, and for yourself.Praise for The Work-Life Tango: “In today’s chaotic world, being a better version of ourselves is challenging. After reading Work-Life Tango, I now have a fresh perspective, with applicable tools to help shift my thinking and behaviors to find harmony, happiness and peace with self, others, and the world.” —Christine Farrell, CEO of Washington Speakers Bureau "The Work-Life Tango is a refreshing and insightful guide that delves into the complexities of balancing work and life in the modern world. Kristel Bauer’s comprehensive and practical approach to achieving a fulfilling work-life balance has transformed how I balance my professional and personal life. Her engaging metaphors and actionable strategies make it a must-read for anyone looking to thrive in the modern workplace while maintaining a joyful and meaningful personal life.” —Angela Schelp, Founder & Co-Owner, Executive Speakers Bureau “Kristel's take on mastering leadership in the modern world provides a fresh and needed perspective for all organizations. With so many approachable strategies to increase happiness, enhance well-being and optimize performance, Work-Life Tango is a must read for anyone looking to thrive in their personal and professional life!" —Susan MacKenty Brady, Wall Street Journal Best-Selling Author of Arrive & Thrive; CEO, Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership “A must-read for anyone looking for more fulfillment in their work and life! Work-Life Tango gives you permission to stop striving for the old model of work/life balance that breeds perfectionism and guilt, allowing you to find more deep-rooted happiness, fun and success in all areas of your life.” —Alexandra Carter, Professor, Columbia Law School & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of Ask for More “As the Founder of Hedley and Bennett, I know the challenges that pop up while raising babies and running a business, while also trying to be on top of your personal life and self-care routine.

A New York Times Bestseller What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life?

In fact, the Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through life. The invaluable insights in this book emerge from the revealing personal stories of hundreds of participants in the Harvard Study as they were followed year after year for their entire adult lives, and this wisdom was bolstered by research findings from many other studies. Relationships in all their formsfriendships, romantic partnerships, families, coworkers, tennis partners, book club members, Bible study groupsall contribute to a happier, healthier life. And as The Good Life shows us, it's never too late to strengthen the relationships you already have, and never too late to build new ones. The Good Life provides examples of how to do this. Dr. Waldinger's TED Talk about the Harvard Study, ';What Makes a Good Life,' has been viewed more than 42 million times and is one of the ten most-watched TED talks ever. The Good Life has been praised by bestselling authors Jay Shetty ';an empowering quest towards our greatest need: meaningful human connection'), Angela Duckworth (';In a crowded field of life advice...Schulz and Waldinger stand apart'), and happiness expert Laurie Santos (';Waldinger and Schulz are world experts on the counterintuitive things that make life meaningful'). With ';insightful [and] interesting' (Daniel Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness) life stories, The Good Life shows us how we can make our lives happier and more meaningful through our connections to others.

The golden age was during the Victorian and Edwardian period, but the ghost story has continued to evolve and remains popular to this day.Includes stories from Sir Walter Scott, George Mackay Brown, Muriel Spark, Margaret Oliphant, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Guy Boothby, Algernon Blackwood, Eileen Bigland, Ronald Duncan, James Robertson and Ian Rankin.

Why liberalism is all you need to lead a good, fun, worthy, and rewarding life—and how you can become a better and happier person by taking your liberal beliefs more seriouslyWhere do you get your values and sensibilities from? If you grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism. Conservatives are right about one thing: liberalism is the ideology of our times, as omnipresent as religion once was. Yet, as Alexandre Lefebvre argues in Liberalism as a Way of Life, many of us are liberal without fully realizing it—or grasping what it means. Misled into thinking that liberalism is confined to politics, we fail to recognize that it’s the water we swim in, saturating every area of public and private life, shaping our psychological and spiritual outlooks, and influencing our moral and aesthetic values—our sense of what is right, wrong, good, bad, funny, worthwhile, and more. This eye-opening book shows how so many of us are liberal to the core, why liberalism provides the basis for a good life, and how we can make our lives better and happier by becoming more aware of, and more committed to, the beliefs we already hold.A lively, engaging, and uplifting guide to living well, the liberal way, Liberalism as a Way of Life is filled with examples from television, movies, stand-up comedy, and social media—from Parks and Recreation and The Good Place to the Borat movies and Hannah Gadsby. Along the way, you’ll also learn about seventeen benefits of being a liberal—including generosity, humor, cheer, gratitude, tolerance, and peace of mind—and practical exercises to increase these rewards.You’re probably already waist-deep in the waters of liberalism. Liberalism as a Way of Life invites you to dive in.

The true story of a foundling. ''Extraordinary ... A fascinating, moving book: part history of the Foundling Hospital and the development of child psychology, part Cowan''s own story, and part that of Cowan''s mother'' LUCY SCHOLES, TELEGRAPH Growing up in a wealthy enclave outside San Francisco, Justine Cowan''s life seems idyllic. But her mother''s unpredictable temper drives Justine from home the moment she is old enough to escape. It is only after her mother dies that she finds herself pulling at the threads of a story half-told - her mother''s upbringing in London''s Foundling Hospital. Haunted by this secret history, Justine travels across the sea and deep into the past to discover the girl her mother once was. Here, with the vividness of a true storyteller, she pieces together her mother''s childhood alongside the history of the Foundling Hospital: from its idealistic beginnings in the eighteenth century, how it influenced some of England''s greatest creative minds - from Handel to Dickens, its shocking approach to childcare and how it survived the Blitz only to close after the Second World War. This was the environment that shaped a young girl then known as Dorothy Soames, who was left behind by a mother forced by stigma and shame to give up her child; who withstood years of physical and emotional abuse, dreaming of escape as German bombers circled the skies, unaware all along that her own mother was fighting to get her back.The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames is a gripping memoir and revelatory investigation into the history of the Foundling Hospital and one girl who grew up in its care - the author''s own mother.Praise for The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames: ''As a social history of the Foundling Hospital, this is a fascinating read'' SUNDAY TIMES ''Page-turning and profoundly moving'' VIRGINIA NICHOLSON ''Part-memoir, part-detective story, The Secret Life Of Dorothy Soames will break your heart then piece it back together again ...

This book seeks to improve the work lives of architects of diverse demographics who do not fit, or want to replicate, the traditional ‘24/7’ white-male architect lifestyle. Aimed at a workforce whose life and career expectations have changed drastically in recent years, it helps readers of different generations to make informed choices about their careers – enabling students, educators, and professionals to prioritise wellbeing and offer their design and practice voice to enhance a built environment for all.Work-Life Balance in Architecture examines what it means to play the ‘game of architecture’ – to choose to study and pursue a career in architecture rather than another profession. The book shows the economic, social, and professional structures within which architectural education and practice operate and reveals the impact of a corporate, neoliberal ‘big business’ mentality on wellbeing.After setting out the context exacerbating work-life imbalance, the book discusses the paths an architect may take – whether this leads to a career in practice or not in architecture at all – and how alternative gameplay moves can advantage or disadvantage those of different gender, class, ethnicity, race, or age at different career stages. It concludes by examining how the places in which an architect works, the time available to work and critiques of perpetual neoliberal economic growth can enhance the lives of all architects today.
