Build your calm, work with purpose, live your life. A step-by-step mindfulness coaching programme so you can make mindfulness part of your everyday routine and better manage stress, anxiety and insecurity. The Mindfulness Habit provides an 8-week, peer reviewed mindfulness course alternating with chapters that tackle practical workplace challenges in a relatable and compassionate way. Topics include working with uncertainty and insecurity; stress and burnout; anxiety; switching off from work, and how to deal with difficult communications. You will also discover how mindfulness can support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. I canâ ™t â ˜doâ ™ mindfulness. My mind is too busy, I canâ ™t sit still, I just donâ ™t have the TIME! The reasons you think you canâ ™t, are the same reasons why you should give mindfulness a go. Lisa Wren specialises in teaching people who are seriously busy, overwhelmed, stressed out, or in full-on meltdown because life is rushing past at a ridiculous pace. People who like to learn and progress, who value career and life, but who canâ ™t seem to ever catch-up, or get on top of things....or who yearn for just 5 minutes of peace (is that too much to ask?!). Mindfulness can help because your mind is busy, because your body is agitated, and because you donâ ™t have time. In fact, you donâ ™t need to find much time at all â “ no longer than the time it has taken you to read this paragraph. The insights and information shared in The Mindfulness Habit can make a meaningful difference to how you feel. Lisa provides valuable knowledge, and ethically sound perspectives and practices that can help you to navigate the often-difficult relationship between mental health and the demands placed upon us at work and in life. So much of what is suffered is unspoken, and you might assume that feeling persistently stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted is just something you must put up with. This book shows how you can have a productive and successful working life whilst also feeling calmer, healthier, and more in control. The Mindfulness Habit blends established mindfulness curricula with other approaches in positive psychology and introduces â ˜active awarenessâ ™ â “ mindfulness without meditation which can bring mindfulness directly into your everyday life. This unique synthesised approach provides the option of different routes into mindfulness: there is a path to mindfulness waiting for you in this book.

That the world has changed and is continuing to change at a rapid pace is not news. People are much more aware of everything around them. The consumer revolution has accelerated dramatically. But something vital is missing in all of this change. Leadership has not kept up with the changes going on in the world. From boardrooms to classrooms, leadership is being challenged on a daily basis yet now a new leadership model has been given. Dr Covey introduces the four roles of the new leader - modelling, pathfinding, aligning and empowering - and how those qualities can change you and your organisation. He discusses how trust can be lost throughout organisations and how it is imperative that any organisation bring trust back to the company if it is to survive. Covey also shows how to go from what he calls a want to person to a can do person and how doing so can completely transform people and organisations. Through his ideas, one will discover how to: Use the four vital roles to establish trust and make growth a given; build and sustain an atmosphere of respect and openness; keep and inspire your most talented workers; apply creative co-operation to reach new levels of performance; develop leadership at every level of your organisation; take advantage of strengths and compensate for weakness; reduce cynicism and improve morale.

With a single announcement from a herald, all the cities of Greece and Asia had been set free; only an intrepid soul could formulate such an ambitious project, only phenomenal valour and fortune bring it to fruition. (Livy, 33. 33) Thus Livy describes the reaction to the Roman commander T.Q. Flamininus proclamation of the freedom of Greece at the Isthmian games near Corinth in 196 BC. Half a century later Greece was annexed as a province of the Romans who burned the ancient city of Corinth to the ground. Books 31 to 40 of Livy s history chart Rome s emergence as an imperial nation and the Romans tempestuous involvement with Greece, Macedonia and the near East in the opening decades of the second century BC; they are our most important source for Graeco-Roman relations in that century. Livy s dramatic narrative includes the Roman campaigns in Spain and against the Gallic tribes of Northern Italy; the flight of Hannibal from Carthage and his death in the East; the debate on the Oppian law; and the Bacchanalian Episode. This is the only unabridged English translation of Books 31 to 40.The complete Livy in English, available in five volumes from Oxford World s Classics. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

A spectacular, vivid, groundbreaking work of history which takes us into the minds and lives of medieval women.What was life really like for women in the medieval period? How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear the stories of women from this period?Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times. But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Those women were: Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a no-good wife . In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period. Each of them broke new ground in womenâs writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics.Hetta Howes has spent her working life uncovering these womenâs stories to give us a valuable and unique historical biography of their lives that challenges what we hold to be common knowledge about medieval women in Europe. Women did earn money, they could live independent lives, and they thought, loved, fought and suffered just as we do today.This mesmerising book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.

During the early medieval Islamicate period (800â “1400 CE), discourses concerned with music and musicians were wide-ranging and contentious, and expressed in works on music theory and philosophy as well as literature and poetry. But in spite of attempts by influential scholars and political leaders to limit or control musical expression, music and sound permeated all layers of the social structure. Lisa Nielson here presents a rich social history of music, musicianship and the role of musicians in the early Islamicate era. Focusing primarily on Damascus, Baghdad and Jerusalem, Lisa Nielson draws on a wide variety of textual sources written for and about musicians and their professional/private environments â “ including chronicles, literary sources, memoirs and musical treatises â “ as well as the disciplinary approaches of musicology to offer insights into musical performances and the lives of musicians. In the process, the book sheds light onto the dynamics of medieval Islamicate courts, as well as how slavery, gender, status and religion intersected with music in courtly life. It will appeal to scholars of the Islamicate world and historical musicologists.

But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies, a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself.

A luminous new translation of one of the greatest poets in Chinese historyLi Qingzhao is justly celebrated for her place in Chinese literary history. She was a poet with a wry, unsentimental style and a rich sense of melody. Her ci â “ lyrics that were originally set to music â “ are glorious in their depth and genius, spare and arresting on the line. They evoke with rare immediacy the haunting beauty of country life during the Song dynasty; the unseen, restive labour of the poet; and Li Qingzhaoâ ™s bracing take on what it means to create art as a woman in the shadow of exile, war, imprisonment, and an unwelcoming literary establishment. In Wendy Chenâ ™s splendid new translation, each poem is as sharp and fresh as the edge of a new spring leaf. These richly textured bolts of melody are masterpieces of verse, as resonant and bracing today as they were in the eleventh century; and they underscore Li Qingzhao status as a necessary and iconic literary figure.
