Beschreibung

'When women heal, generations heal.'
To her thousands of fans, Wisdom & Wellness founder, speaker and influencer Mpoomy Ledwaba is a symbol of strength and women empowerment. But going from university dropout to Forbes magazine's list of 30 Under 30 wasn't always easy – it took courage and a commitment to personal growth.
How Did We Get Here? is her coming-of-age story. Looking back on her upbringing, major milestones and the challenges she's faced, Mpoomy takes us on her journey of self-discovery. Behind the Instagram likes and millions of views on YouTube is a driven woman who sometimes bit o¬ more than she could chew. This mother of two, who is married to an award-winning musician, didn't always have a plan and rarely fitted the mould of 'the good wife'.
Mpoomy writes openly not only about the mistakes she's made, the hurt she's experienced and some of the hard truths she's had to learn about life, but also about how her faith has been a guiding light. As a firm believer in the power of stories, she uses her personal history to show how to live a purposeful life on all levels.
'I share to normalise talking about those shameful, hurtful things we keep hidden. I share because shame loses its power when we find safe spaces to share our truth …'

    Undimmed is a revolutionary guide to help you break free from the habits that dim your life. This program is read by the author.When Cecily Mak decided to take a break from drinking, the most common response she got was “Oh, I didn’t know you had a problem.” A problem? She was not an addict, or even committing to sobriety. She had simply realized that alcohol helped her avoid difficult feelings—but that it dimmed the good parts of her life along with the bad. She wanted to live her life with clarity, not avoid it.Many of us are taught to believe that escapist and addictive behaviors are fine as long as they are not “problems” or wholesale addictions. But this binary mindset robs us of a more present life and our ability to make changes before the behavior becomes an unshakeable habit. What you use to dim your life may not be a substance—it might even be something healthy, like exercise, food, or work. And every dimmer exists on a spectrum from use, to heavy use, to potential abuse or worse. It’s not about what you do, but how and why you do it. While leaving her unwanted habits behind, Mak developed the Eight Awarenesses—a set of principles we can use for inspiration and guidance on the path to embodying a clear life. Each one serves as an invitation to explore a deeper understanding of ourselves and our choices, and the empowerment that comes with choosing to live a life undimmed.  Undimmed is an invitation to choose freedom from the habits that dim our lives and to embrace the full spectrum of experiences that life has to offer.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    Kari Byron—former host of the wildly popular, iconic cult classic MythBusters—shows how to crash test your way through life, no lab coat required.  
    Kari Byron’s story hasn’t been a straight line. She started out as a broke artist living in San Francisco, writing poems on a crowded bus on the way to one of her three jobs. Many curve balls, unexpected twists, and yes, literal and figurative explosions later, and she’s one of the world’s most respected women in science entertainment, blowing stuff up on national television and getting paid for it! In Crash Test Girl, Kari reveals her fascinating life story on the set of MythBusters and beyond. With her signature gusto and roll-up-your-sleeves enthusiasm, she invites listeners behind the duct tape and the dynamite, to the unlikely friendships and low-budget sets that turned a crazy idea into a famously inventive show with a rabid fanbase. 
    The truth is, Mythbusters was never meant to be a science show. But attaching a rocket to a car, riding a motorcycle on water, or lighting 500 pounds of coffee creamer on fire requires a decent understanding of chemistry, physics, and engineering. Thus, the cast and crew brought in the scientific method to work through each problem: Question. Hypothesize. Analyze. Experiment. Conclude. And as Kari came to learn in her own life, not only is the scientific method the best approach for busting myths, it’s also the perfect tool for solving everyday issues, including: 
    Career · Love · Creativity · Setbacks · Money · Sexuality · Depression · Bravery 
    Crash Test Girl reminds us that science is for everyone, as long as you’re willing to strap in, put on your safety goggles, hit a few walls, and learn from the results. Using a combination of methodical experimentation and unconventional creativity, you’ll come to the most important conclusion of all: In life, sometimes you crash and burn, but you can always crash and learn.

    Do you check your account every day and feel like you're always losing money? Worried the next recession will crash your portfolio? Pulling out your hair while the daily news fills you with fear? 
    Then you are a VICTIM OF INFORMATION OVERLOAD! 
     This book provides a simple trading strategy to Preserve And Grow Your Wealth by filtering the noise to get more valuable information in less time, reducing your stock research and trading effort by over 99%, and betting on long-term value creation to achieve financial success! 
    We are told the money managers on Wall Street who spend all day checking every stock price movement, every CEO tweet, and every company filing footnote have an edge in the stock market... But the pixelated truth is that information has mathematical limits: zooming into a single blurry pixel of an image tells you nothing about the big picture – the stock market is no different. And even if we did know every detail of the business, the laws of nature tell us we can't predict the future stock price in a complex marketplace anyway! 
    In "Stop Checking The Price" you will LEARN HOW TO:Follow the 1st Law of Investing for maximum long-term compounding… And why the "risk-return trade-off" is backwards. Use "80-20 Rule" to cut your research time and stock trading effort down by 99%. Filter bad apples (stocks) before they spoil the whole barrel (portfolio). Steal a page from the venture capitalist's playbook for explosive growth… And how to beat Warren Buffett! Set a timer and evaluate any stock in 60 seconds from a data snapshot.  
    Don't get lost in the blurry pixels – ZOOM OUT!
