  Caring for an aging parent can raise a host of tricky questions, but these conversation-starting scripts, plus expert advice, will help you and your parent find answers. 
   
   
   
  Age-proofing an older relative's living space, figuring out powers of attorney, spotting and dealing with signs of dementia, asking them to give up the car keys or consider assisted living . . . the first step toward tackling these concerns and more is an honest, informed discussion. Here are prompts and road maps for twenty-seven essential conversations—with your parent, other family members, and health care providers—including: 
   
   
   
  ● Does my parent need help around the house? 
   
   
   
  ● What kind of medical issues should we look out for? 
   
   
   
  ● Do I really need to help my parents if they're toxic? 
   
   
   
  ● How can my family share the caregiving load? 
   
   
   
  How to approach these topics is just as important as what needs to be said, so each chapter has tips for navigating complex emotions and finding shared ground when everyone has different ideas. You'll get informed, have a productive discussion, and make a plan—so you can get back to making the most of your time with your parent.

  "Essential Guide to Improving Body Language, Nonverbal Communication and Unconscious Messages in Everyday Relationships (Love, Family, Workplace and Friendship)" 
  Did you know that the lower part of your body is governed by the unconscious and is able to send hundreds of messages into the world in a completely unconscious way? 
  Have you ever wondered how your head movements, hand gestures, glances and facial expressions are interpreted subliminally by others? 
  Would you like to know the secrets of making a good first impression on a romantic date, at a job interview or when presenting your project or idea to the public? 
  If you have always been curious about this topic and would like to broaden your knowledge in the field of communication, here is an ‘honest’ guide to interpreting body language in everyday life. 
  Learning to recognise and interpret our own and other people’s body language is a skill that can be crucial at work, in seduction and more generally in relationships with others. 
  Noticing the small mistakes you have always made will give you a competitive ‘edge’ and radically improve your image in the eyes of others. 
  It will also enable you to get to know yourself better and to establish deeper relationships with colleagues, partners and friends.

This book is not a political analysis, but a psychological playbook for anyone who needs to hold their ground against aggressive tactics without sacrificing their own principles.

  The book provides tailored advice for a wide range of real-world scenarios, including navigating business contracts, managing workplace disputes with a difficult boss or colleague, and even resolving family conflicts with a dominant personality. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a manager, or simply someone looking to improve your assertiveness in difficult conversations, this book offers a clear path to protecting your interests. Ultimately, this is your guide to achieving compassionate firmness.

  We have lost touch with who we are and how we want to live. It started at birth. From birth we are molded according to the beliefs and ideals of others, and our own potential is ignored. It needs immense courage to go your own way, leaving the crowd behind. The moment you do it you are taking responsibility for your life in your own hands. Osho reminds us that it is a step worth taking.
