Tiago Forte credits his business and relationship success and his mental health and happiness to something in his life even more essential than his Second Brain. It’s a ritual he has been practicing, documenting, and per­fecting since 2008 and teaching in virtual workshops since 2019. More than checklists, gratitude journals, vision boards, goal setting, or meditation, Tiago’s Annual Review process is a “psychological portal” that can reliably surface insights and reveal blind spots in your thinking. According to Tiago, there’s no more effective way to face your fears, find your direction, and grow in all areas of life than by developing an Annual Review practice, which can happen at any time of the year. Blending research (Appreciative Inquiry, the science of intention, the science of goals), storytelling, and guidance in one irresistible, category-defining new volume, LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE is approachable as a New Year’s Resolution—and a lot more effective.

Now more than ever, we need to know ourselves. LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE is a personal identity map, a flexible system you can customize and use to remember what matters, identify your goals, and create the life you want.

Tiago Forte is one of the world’s foremost experts on productivity and has taught thousands of people around the world how timeless principles and the latest technology can revolutionize their productivity, creativity, and personal effectiveness. He has worked with organizations such as Genentech, Toyota Motor Corporation, and the Inter-American Development Bank, and appeared in a variety of publications, such as the New York Times, The Atlantic, and Harvard Business Review. He is the author of Building a Second Brain and The PARA Method.

DIE WELLE DEINER EMOTIONEN de Betty Ebner

Understand your nervous system and learn to regulate your emotions – for greater inner peace and emotional stability.

DIE WELLE DEINER EMOTIONEN
(The Wave of Your Emotions)
by Betty Ebner
Yuna-Publishing/PRH Germany, November 2025

In this book, I take you on a journey back to yourself; to your body, your feelings, your inner sea.

Perhaps you sometimes feel overwhelmed by yourself. Your emotions are too loud and your everyday life too fast. Your nervous system is in a constant state of alarm. You function – but you no longer feel. Or only in extremes.

I know this place. I’ve been there. And I found my way back. Not because I had « it under control », but because I learned to accompany myself.

This book is not a guide to functioning. It is an invitation to feel yourself again; to recognise yourself in your depths and learn how to deal safely with everything that is inside you – even when it is stormy at times.

« The Wave of Your Emotions » combines personal stories, scientific background and practical ideas for your everyday life. It is a book for anyone who no longer wants to run away – but wants to learn to stay.

For everyone who wants to feel without losing themselves. And for everyone who knows that healing is not a decision – it is an experience.

Betty Ebner (b. 1998) has spent more than five years working in the fields of character development, mindset and discovering your inner child. What started as a personal journey has become a vocation, and she now has thousands of followers on social media, where she helps them lead a happier and emotionally independent life. She also teaches online courses and is a popular life coach. She lives in Austria with her husband and young daughter.

THE CONVENIENCE TRAP de Robert Carter III & Kirti Salwe Carter

What if the very things designed to make life easier are slowly making us weaker?

THE CONVENIENCE TRAP:
Why a Life of Ease is Costing Us Our Strength—and How to Get It Back
by Robert Carter III, PhD, MPH & Kirti Salwe Carter, MD, MPH
Diversion Books, Fall 2026
(via Kaplan/DeFiore Rights)

In an age where comfort is king and friction is engineered out of daily life, THE CONVENIENCE TRAP exposes the hidden cost of modern ease—and offers a bold roadmap for reclaiming resilience in a culture of soft living.

We can now summon groceries, skip lines, and avoid discomfort with a single tap. But in doing so, we’ve also stopped moving, stopped thinking deeply, and lost the habits that once made us strong. The result? A widespread decline in physical vitality, mental stamina, and social connection.

Drawing on decades of research and clinical experience, Drs. Robert and Kirti Carter explore how a convenience-obsessed world has undermined our health, adaptability, and sense of purpose. From dopamine-driven distraction to fragile supply chains and disintegrating community bonds, THE CONVENIENCE TRAP reveals how comfort has quietly become a design flaw—and why effort is the forgotten key to human flourishing.

At the heart of the book is the A.L.I.V.E. Framework: a five-part transformation model that closes each chapter, guiding readers to move from insight to action with sustainable, empowering steps toward a more vital, engaged life. Provocative and deeply practical, THE CONVENIENCE TRAP is a call to parents, educators, professionals, and future-builders to stop outsourcing effort—and start designing lives, bodies, and systems built to endure, evolve, and thrive.

Dr. Robert Carter III, is a nationally recognized scientist, bestselling author, and U.S. military officer with more than 25 years of experience in human performance and leadership. Dr. Kirti Salwe Carter is an integrative health expert who blends Eastern and Western traditions in her work on holistic wellness and stress resilience. Together, they are the authors of The Morning Mind: Use Your Brain to Master Your Day and Supercharge Your Life.

FOUNDERING de Cameron Yarbrough

A manifesto for anyone who has risked everything, failed, and found the courage to start again. It celebrates the journeys of individuals with mental health conditions who succeeded because of these conditions, not despite them. It inspires those who feel marginalized to turn their weaknesses into strengths.

Cameron Yarbrough knows the best-kept secret in Silicon Valley: nobody takes that brilliant idea from the proverbial back of the napkin to the stratosphere without enduring painful growth and seismic psychological breakthroughs. As a therapist and coach, he has helped founders of the most successful startups in tech achieve the impossible without sacrificing their well-being in the process. Renowned figures like Garry Tan, the president of the famous startup incubator Y Combinator, Steve Huffman, the CEO of Reddit, and Justin Kan, cofounder of Twitch. Yarbrough not only witnessed their spectacular highs and desperate lows from the sidelines; he walked in their shoes when he himself started his own company. In this book, he offers that unique expertise and guidance to aspiring leaders everywhere.

FOUNDERING is about what happened behind the scenes to this generation of founders and how they learned what it takes to survive and thrive as business leaders and human beings in the brutal world of growth-stage startups. It is about the existential crises, breakdowns, and self-reinventions that turn out to be unavoidable features of the process – the emotional crucible that no entrepreneur can avoid, and that no would-be entrepreneur can afford not to master. It’s about the takeaways–secrets, lessons, and tools to help every leader redefine success on their own terms.
