Burnout Immunity: How Emotional Intelligence Can Help You Build Resilience and Heal Your Relationshi

An essential guide everyone needs to protect themselves from burnout by learning to develop and master key emotional intelligence skills. Why do some people in the world’s most stressful careers avoid burnout while countless others are overwhelmed by the demands of ordinary jobs? What can we learn from these resilient role models who seem naturally resistant to burnout? After burnout caused a life-threatening health crisis in her own life, Dr. Kandi Wiens left a lucrative career in management consulting and enrolled in a doctoral program at the University of Pennsylvania to understand why burnout was leaving millions of us sick, exhausted, unmotivated, and feeling stuck and ineffective. In her research, she discovered something remarkable: Despite dangerous levels of work-related stress, some workers seemed to be naturally “immune” to burnout. So what did these people have that Dr. Wiens and millions of others did not? In digging further, she uncovered one key difference: Regardless of their role, industry, or experience, all of these professionals exhibited a high degree of emotional intelligence (EI). EI is the ability to clearly perceive, understand, and productively manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The workers with burnout immunity were relying on specific EI skills to successfully cope with stressful work environments and experiences. The result—more productive, happier careers and lives, free from the physical and mental ravages of the exhaustion, negativity, and inefficacy that characterize burnout. The good news is that everyone can build and boost their emotional intelligence and use EI-based skills to manage workplace stress and immunize themselves against burnout. Burnout Immunity shows readers how to develop and master the EI skills, principles and strategies Dr. Wiens uncovered in her research in those with burnout immunity and apply them to their own unique roles and work environments, including: 1) Awareness 2) Regulation 3) Meaningful Connections 4) Mindset 5) Recover, Reconnect, and Reimagine Bolstered with research, exercises, self-assessments, and real-life stories from people with natural burnout immunity and those who’ve cultivated it, Burnout Immunity teaches workers how to avoid burnout before it strikes, and to enjoy healthier and happier relationships with work.

Beyond Getting By: The Financial Diet's Guide to Abundant and Intentional Living

A beautiful, full-color guide to living with money, not for money, packed with fun, tangible advice from the women behind The Financial Diet. The girlboss came in many forms, and she struggled valiantly against our increasing exhaustion at her brand of pinkwashed-capitalism-as-liberation-but it's time to put her to rest. Yes, money is essential to life, and managing it well can be the difference between freedom and constraint. But once you have enough, the focus should be on converting it into things that are meaningful to you: more time with the people you love, more creativity, more days to just vibe on the couch. In Beyond Getting By, the women behind The Financial Diet teach you how to create (and pay for) a life you truly enjoy-and that you can be proud of. They show you how to push beyond what society tells you will make you happy to determine what you actually want, with specific advice and interactive exercises on • how to define your own budget philosophy by no longer chasing fast fashion and instant gratification, instead allowing the unlikely duo of Sigmund Freud and Elizabeth Warren to guide your budgeting • how the idea that we have equal opportunity is bullshit-and how to start a self-advocacy journal in order to kill it in that next raise negotiation • how to stave off burnout by valuing your personal life with as much care as your career, in addition to figuring out the true worth of your time Beyond Getting By is for the woman interested in a life where money is simply a tool and never a reflection of her worth. It's for the woman who understands the limits of gamifying personal finance, and that following trends isn't the same as creating a sustainable, wealth-generating plan for the future.

Just the Good Stuff: No-BS Secrets to Success (No Matter What Life Throws at You)

A deeply personal, authentic, and clear-eyed guide to navigating today's complex world and building a meaningful, successful career and life-no matter where you start out-from the bestselling author and co-founder of Axios and Politico Jim VandeHei's high school guidance counselor laid it out clearly: VandeHei wasn't cut out for college. In 1990, you could find him he proving the counselor's case emphatically, preferring beer to books and delivering pizzas to mapping out career plans. He attended a two-year school before smuggling himself into the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where after a year he had racked up a 1.4 GPA and was on the verge of getting the boot. Everything changed when he discovered his passions: politics and journalism. VandeHei went on to cover the presidency and co-found two of the biggest modern news outlets, Politico and Axios, the media companies that upended and revolutionized journalism. He took notes every step of the way. And in The Good Stuff, his debut as a solo author, VandeHei writes the book he wishes someone had handed him when he was floundering-not a compendium of conventional wisdom but a real-world guide to achieving that other "good stuff," health, wealth, happiness, all the blessings and exquisite pleasures we loosely group under that oft used but still under-appreciated rubric-success. Delivered in his hallmark no-word-wasted style, VandeHei offers essential, no-BS guidance on how to handle everything from finding a calling to building a team to navigating the realities of a changing workplace, showing us that no matter how inauspicious our beginnings, no matter how far down the ladder we begin, no matter what kind of challenges we face, a fulfilling life is within our reach.

Seen, Secure, Free: How a Life Hidden with Christ Strengthens and Transforms You

In a world that screams Be Seen! Be Known! and often measures value by likes and shares and follows, it's easy to feel invisible, unheard, unloved. But God's Word offers a powerful and freeing counternarrative: true treasure is actually found in the 'hidden' life of Christ. Somewhere along the way, we've confused our level of visibility with our value. We've mixed up fame with fruitfulness. We've equated exposure with excellence. But what if we stopped trying so hard to be seen, recognized, and affirmed by the world around us? What if there's a different way of living altogether? Seen, Secure, Free unpacks the great promise in Colossians 3:3: 'Your life is hidden with Christ in God' and reminds us that when God hides us in himself, he provides a non-negotiable, never-ending source of contentment, identity, and worth. Join Bible teacher Allison Allen as she explores the incredible power of hiddenness in nature, history, and Scripture, which will help you: - Let go of the pressure to be recognized and praised by others; - Release the resentment that comes from feeling unseen or misunderstood; - Find contentment in a loving God who knows you deeply; - Find security in a powerful God who establishes your identity, worth, and purpose; - Reset your motivations and goals to align with his kingdom; and - Feel freed to pursue new adventures with Jesus No more striving to be seen or wondering if you matter; no more pressure to perform or be visible to the world. Instead, rest assured that God truly sees, knows, and loves you more than any person ever could. And let him lead you into the freedom, joy, and transformative power of a life hidden in him.
