YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE is for perfectionists, workaholics, people pleasers, and strivers who feel stuck in the try-hard cycle. Sharing her experiences as a life coach and recovering perfectionist, Caroline Garnet McGraw shows us how we can free ourselves from the weight of expectations and encourages us to move our lives forward without apology. Inspired by the author’s viral essay « You Don’t Owe Anyone an Interaction, » this book invites us to make surprising choices that can help us get unstuck. Rather than offering more ways to effect change through sheer effort, these personal stories serve as a compassionate witness, a reflection of our own perfectionistic tendencies. They also are a wakeup call jolting us out of our martyr mentality and inspiring us to move in new, positive directions. Through simple, accessible coaching practices, YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE shows us what it looks like to refuse to over-function in the old ways. It invites us to make the same surprising choices that have helped McGraw and her clients move past perfectionism, empowering us to quiet our fears and heal our hearts.

DAS GEHEIMNIS AUSGEGLICHENER MÜTTER
(The Secret of Calm and Composed Mothers)
by Dr. Karella Easwaran
Kösel/Verlagsgruppe Random House Bertelsmann, August 2020 (voir catalogue)

Being a mother is the most wonderful job in the world – but also the most demanding. Pressures of high expectations, overwhelming responsibilities, and exhaustion are just some of the stress factors that can lead to health problems such as cardiovascular disease and depression. What are the best ways to help mothers?
The renowned paediatrician Dr. Karella Easwaran, who has been supporting mothers for many years, is convinced that the solution to the problem lies in the mind! As an expert in mind-body medicine, she has developed the technique of « beneficial thinking ». This begins with the processes in our brain. When properly controlled, beneficial thinking can easily and sustainably change our perception and behaviour. Karella Easwaran’s conclusion is that when we subdue our energy-depleting thought patterns, we can finally dispel stress.

Dr. Karella Easwaran, born in 1965, studied medicine in Hungary and became a specialist in paediatrics and adolescent medicine at the University Children’s Hospital in Cologne. She is competent as well in naturopathy and nutritional medicine. In recent years she has focused on mind-body medicine and furthered her knowledge and experience at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Harvard University. She works as a paediatrician in her own practice. Her first book, The Secret of Healthy Children: What Parents Should and Should Not Do, is a bestseller.

CHAKRA RITUALS de Cristi Christensen

In this new book, internationally renowned yoga instructor Cristi Christensen guides readers who are seeking a connection to something greater than themselves by showing them how to tap into the single most perfect system living inside of each of us—the seven chakras.

CHAKRA RITUALS
by Cristi Christensen
St. Martin’s Essentials, May 2021 (voir catalogue)

Celebrating, honoring, and using the chakras frees us to express our authenticity and live a life of power, love, joy, creativity, connection and purpose. In today’s yoga culture, the chakras are for much more than healing, which has been the traditional application of this 4000-year-old wisdom. While the idea and attributes of the chakras have become trendy, sexy, cool, and very spiritual, few people today really know how to activate the chakras’ powerful energy for deep transformation. Cristi aims to change that, and her book offers readers a multi-dimensional, practical and inspiring, structured seven-week step-by-step program.
Each week, readers will be instructed how to activate a different chakra, and each weekday they will be led through a dynamic, easy, and motivating practice which distills the esoteric concepts and makes them tangible, living experiences. A self-discovery and self-help guide, Cristi’s book employs the chakras’ potential to open the pathways to a full, enlightened “aliveness.” Accomplished yogis and newcomers alike will be invited to flow with their emotions, claim their power, open their hearts, feel their bodies, speak their truths, and align with the divine. CHAKRA RITUALS approaches an ancient science that is often considered unrelatable and makes it accessible to the spiritually curious, with the chakras as a roadmap to transformation, something no other chakra book has done.
This will be a full-color book with some illustrations throughout, but not be heavily illustrated – mostly line drawings and some illustrative material of the movement-based sequences.

A former elite-level gymnast and platform diver, Cristi Christensen trained with the US Olympic diving team as a young adult.
