Summary

The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating insights and humor on life, love, and death. Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.   Here, in this stunning little book, you will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes from her famous works—from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility—each prompting an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a little snigger at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around her.   Utterly charming and very profound, fans of Jane Austen can revel in these much-loved quotes, while a new audience will be introduced to the joys that her books have provided since their publication many years ago. With each chapter focusing on a different theme—from Love & Longing to Female Strength—this gorgeous gift book is the perfect compilation of Austen’s funny, moving, and thought-provoking words.   Content of themes:  Love & Longing  Friendship  Society  Female Strength  Life & Death  Faith  Art & Literature “The wit of Jane Austen has for a partner the perfection of her taste.” —Virginia Woolf

    Is life more fun or insecure owing to the uncertainty of events? If given a chance, some would want absolute certainty, and some would prefer a dash of surprises. The pandemic certainly has introduced us to a range of uncertainities that we never thought of before. Remember people hoarding supplies and ensuring they don't run out of food and essential items? Human beings engage in many actions that ensure safety, love, approval, comfort, power, control, money and other resources. These behaviours can have their own costs. Dealing with uncertainties can be exhausting and anxiety-provoking. The episode explores the connection of uncertainty and anxiety and trains you into techniques to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in various contexts.

    Transform the way you feel by embedding more compassion, calm, and joy into your nervous system.Are you feeling dysregulated—anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down? Many of us are, and understandably so. Our bodies are constantly responding to cues of safety or danger, and we are powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles, collective events, and the ever-changing nature of this imperfect world. The question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm, openhearted connection with ourselves and others?In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety through the many ups and downs of life. Drawing from the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, she skillfully shows us how to become conscious navigators of our nervous system—inhabiting a comforting inner sanctuary where we can finally relax, connect, and breathe again. Each guided audio session offers valuable insights that invite us to:• Explore proven ways to tune into and befriend your nervous system, so you can feel safe, calm, and regulated, maybe for the first time in years.• Gain science-backed tools to move from “flight, fight, or freeze” survival mode into a sense of groundedness and emotional balance.• Discover what safety and “home” means to your nervous system and what sensations, cues, and practices can help you return there when you need it most.The beauty of this work is that it’s deeply personal. What brings safety to one person may not be the same for another. The invitation is to gently explore your own nervous system and notice, What helps me feel a little more anchored right now? With practice, you begin to recognize the pathways that bring you a felt sense of regulation. Instead of living at the mercy of stress and overwhelm, you’ll discover relief within the innate wisdom of your own body—guiding you back, again and again, to the steady ground of safety within.
