  BURNOUT DIARIES is the gritty, personal account of Janna Donovan, a marketing manager who found herself battling burnout in a foreign country. It details the distrust, shame, and secrecy that eventually led to panic events, depression, and plans for suicide. 
  “Absolutely amazing book.” “I could not put this book down!” “Beautifully written, honest and revealing.” “Gripping read… Donovan's struggle was vivid, yet relatable.” “I couldn't get enough, I devoured this book in an afternoon. It left me wanting more.” 
  The story reads more like a novel than a business book. It’s funny and tragic and “Did she really go there?” rolled into one fascinating true story. Based on Janna Donovan’s personal diaries, it is different from other business stress books. The author outs herself, broken heart and all. 
  Janna is a business manager who has worked for a multinational company, a .com startup, and a retailer. She now helps individuals with high amounts of work stress and worry. She became a therapist, after seeing firsthand what anxiety disorders, depression and burnout do to us. She shares what she went through and answers the question, “Why am I like this?” Her experience can help you break up with anger, resentment, anxiety and guilt. 
  Listeners who would benefit from listening to this book: 
  • Tired professionals who feel like what they do is never enough 
  • Power contributors who take on twice the workload of their peers 
  • People who experience unhealthy work stress in any job worked 
  • Anyone who loves a workaholic 
  “Donovan's formatting had me finishing the book in 72 hours… a fast-paced read.” “So many "self-help" books read as a textbook. This one is relatable, witty, and relevant.” “This book helped me get closure I didn't know I needed.”

  The Zen of Art starts with the premise that making art is akin to what happens when wind engages with a set of chimes. The chance encounter of source and instrument generates a song that enriches and elevates the moment. Author and artist Carolyn Schlam draws a parallel with what she calls the "Zen of Art"-the process of allowing creative expression to manifest in a natural and unencumbered fashion. Schlam tells her personal story of making art while applying the knowledge she has gained to live an "artful life" in chapters on courage, joy, beauty, love, and more. Whether practicing artists or not, readers will be encouraged to examine their own lives in the context of her insights. There is much to ponder and savor in this beautifully written, wise, and warm account of a life filled with art. The Zen of Art is a book to treasure as it paints a pathway to being your best self and living your best life.

  This bundle has two titles. Here is a preview of both: 
  1 - Deception, as defined by the dictionary, involves intentionally leading someone to believe something that is untrue. This act is deeply ingrained in human nature, allowing anyone to practice it. Deception can engage either the mind or emotions, leveraging our desire for knowledge or information to manipulate us. When deception targets the mind, it often comes in the form of false or distorted information presented as "knowledge." 
  When aimed at the body, deception involves persuading someone to undertake actions that have concealed negative consequences. However, the gravest form of deception affects the human spirit. This form is particularly serious because it can influence one’s ultimate fate, even though many people trivialize spiritual matters due to deceptive beliefs. 
  2 - How do you encourage someone to eagerly make a purchase from you? How can you ensure the sale? 
  The most effective way to gain someone’s trust and motivate them to buy from you or join your team is to "carefully enter the conversation already happening in their mind." By doing so, you help your prospect see the value of your service through the information you provide, leading them to recognize their need for what you offer.

  Ways of Attending - How our...

  Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
  Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
  Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
  Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).  
  This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. © 2018 Iain McGilchrist (P)
