What one does regularly with little conscious effort becomes a habit? A multitude of these habits combines and shapes our personality and our character.The recent few months forced many of us to change the way we have been living our life compelling us into routines we never imagined getting into. Working from home which till now was a luxury suddenly became the order of the day.Concalls and video calls took over traveling as we peeked into each other's houses while trying to get work done.For some people, the change was simple as they effortlessly slipped into their new routines with little hassle and complaints. This set of people though was a minority, as the majority were still struggling to fit into these new routines. The biggest challenge facing us as we try to change the way we have been living our life is the resistance that we encounter from our existing habits. Overcoming that challenge is the first big step toward developing a new routine. Some of us who would have adopted a new habit successfully would have done so after adapting to the novel way of working while also accepting it intrinsically.However, people still struggling to internalize it are the ones who would need to put in even more effort to become used to the new pattern. So, what ensures we stay true to the new routine, and what leads to failure?The book provides easy steps and processes to develop and master new habits and become more effective.

Named Most Anticipated by: Good Morning America · New York ¿Post¿·Pure Wow ·BuzzFeed · ¿Los Angeles Times · Book Riot· ¿Apple BooksPart memoir and part social critique, Drinking Games is about how one woman drank and lived- and how, for her, the last drink was just the beginning. On paper, Sarah Levy's life was on track. She was 28, living in New York City, working a great job, and socializing every weekend. But Sarah had a secret: her relationship with alcohol was becoming toxic. And only she could save herself.Drinking Games explores the role alcohol has in our formative years, and what it means to opt out of a culture completely enmeshed in drinking. It's an examination of what our short-term choices about alcohol do to our long-term selves and how they challenge our ability to be vulnerable enough to discover what we really want in life. Candid and dynamic, this book speaks to the all-consuming cycle of working hard, playing harder, and trying to look perfect while you're at it. Sarah takes us by the hand through her personal journey with blackouts, dating, relationships, wellness culture, startups, social media, friendship, and self-discovery. In this intimate and darkly funny memoir, she stumbles through her twenties, explores the impact alcohol has on relationships and identity, and shows us how life's messiest moments can end up being the most profound.

"Jesus never gave up on me, even throughout all my stubbornness. He freed me from my life of darkness and brought me into His light."Those who have experienced abuse, neglect, and addiction encounter dark times in life when it seems impossible to ever find healing. Yet God always has a way of delivering His children from the darkness to His ever-embracing light.Ruby Sue can testify to such a deliverance as she endured abuse, neglect, and addiction for most of her life. Beginning in her childhood, the neglect and mental abuse inflicted on her by her parents affected her psychological development to the point where she was scared to speak or act like a normal child. Longing for love, but not finding it, she turned to meth, crack cocaine, and weed in her teenage years to suppress her anxiety and experience temporary happiness. Life continued to be cruel as she married a narcissistic man and endured an over twenty-year abusive relationship with him. Praying for salvation to deliver her and her children from danger, she turned to God and found deliverance. From darkness to Light is the raw and inspiring account of Sue's journey of deliverance from the abuse, neglect, and addiction that threatened to claim her life. Her story reveals how during a time of complete darkness living far, far away from God, He still found her, poured out His faithfulness onto her, and showed her His love, goodness, and power. Now, she lives in the light, giving Him glory for everything He has done for her. To anyone who has been or is in the same situation Sue was, God loves and cares about you more than you can fathom. Be encouraged to receive hope and find it in Jesus, the one true hope, during dark times.

In God on Psychedelics, veteran journalist Don Lattin trains his eye on some previously unexamined questions. Why do relatively few people in the burgeoning psychedelic renaissance connect chemically induced mystical states with their own religious traditions? Can sacred plant medicines be a source of renewal for Christians, Jews and other people of faith?Some clergy and laity think they can. Judaism and Christianity each have centuries-old mystical paths. Yet since the early 1960s, and in the current psychedelic revival, countless North American psychonauts have turned to Buddhism, Hinduism or Native American spirituality to understand the revelatory experience they encountered on magic mushrooms, LSD and other psychoactive drugs.Today, psychedelics are increasingly used as therapeutic tools to help those suffering from depression, trauma and substance abuse. Meanwhile, decriminalization campaigns and cognitive freedom crusades are sprouting up across the nation, inspiring churches and other fellowships to move beyond the divisive doctrine and denominationalism of old-time religion.Don Lattin has been writing about altered states of consciousness since the 1970s - first as an award-winning religion reporter for daily newspapers in San Francisco and more recently as a bestselling author.God on Psychedelics takes the reader on a magical mystery tour across the nation's changing religious landscape, exploring a new kind of trinity that blends psychedelic insight, psychological healing and spiritual revival.Praise for some of Don Lattin's previous works:"I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy just about every page," NY Times critic Dwight Garner on The Harvard Psychedelic Club."Carefully researched and disarmingly honest," religion scholar Huston Smith on Distilled Spirits."Reaches beyond market themes to social issues, culture wars, the search for community, and the varieties of spirituality," American religion historian Martin Marty on Shopping for Faith.

Unlocking Me offers an honest, hopeful look at the pain of addiction-and the way out.

Have you ever felt like you are all alone and like no one understands what you are going through? I have felt this way for my entire adult life because I have been dealing with a loved one being addicted to opiates. Out of nowhere, the love of my life, the man I had been with for 12 years died multiple times in front of my eyes. I had no understanding of why. I thought, "why me?" I have repeatedly asked myself, "If I had known the signs, would it have changed the outcome?"Life is short, and trying to understand and be open to the idea that this epidemic is still around us may just save somebody's life and help others. It is time to speak out and not be silent anymore. This does not have to be the end. It just has to be the end of the problem, and the beginning of the solution. I want to help people who are also battling opiate addiction in a loved one, and to let them know that they are not alone. There are many ways to get through it.

In a Journey to Compassion, Felipe Mercado takes a deep dive into various stages of his personal life, sharing raw and authentic experiences from his childhood that have shaped his adulthood to provide insight on how individuals from poverty experience adversity, lack of self compassion and cultural appreciation while growing up in a traumatic environment and community.
