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?

Why a Life of Ease is Costing Us Our Strength—and How to Get It Back

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

(via DeFiore and Co.)

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.

COOKING AS THERAPY:
How to Improve Mental Health Through Cooking
by Debra Borden
Alcove Press, November 2025

Follow 20 recipes to find calm, improve self-esteem, and form daily habits—in your very own kitchen!—through mindfulness-based cooking therapy.

In COOKING AS THERAPY, licensed clinical social worker and Sous Therapist Debra Borden provides you with all the tools and techniques to have therapy sessions in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Cooking therapy is an experiential therapy that allows you to conduct a therapy session while you cook a meal. Using cooking processes like chopping, kneading, stirring and more, you’ll develop the skills to recognize limiting patterns and behaviors, improve self-esteem, and form healthy daily habits, and you might even have fun incorporating techniques centered around:

– mindfulness—which develops calm

– metaphor—which creates clarity, and

– mastery—which sparks self-esteem.

Luckily, you don’t have to be a great cook to try cooking therapy—or even like cooking. You only need an interest in self-exploration. Borden will teach you the processes involved in preparing a recipe or meal that trigger awareness and even “aha” moments. Unlike talk therapy, cooking therapy sessions incorporate tangible acts. It is less about what you prepare and more of a guided journey to self-reflection through how you prepare a dish.

Debra Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and NJ and a novelist. Her essays and articles have appeared in Women’s Health Magazine and the New York Times. A pioneer in the field of cooking therapy, Debra is thrilled and grateful to be a part of the creative community of mental health professionals, writers, and foodies.

SMALL HABITS, LASTING CHANGE de Tal Ben-Shahar

Cultivate lasting change with simple habits, fromNew York Times bestselling author Tal Ben-Shahar.

SMALL HABITS, LASTING CHANGE
by Tal Ben-Shahar
Alcove Press, January 2026

Do you struggle to make real change because you’re starting too big without building a foundation first ? get a new job, lose twenty pounds, learn a new language? Maybe the tools at your disposal seem inadequate, the prospect of change overwhelms you, and you feel stuck.

In SMALL HABITS, LASTING CHANGE, happiness expert Tal Ben-Shahar provides accessible and easy-to-implement tools, and an easy-to-follow three step process, that can help you realize your goals, aspirations, and dreams.

He starts with simple intervention techniques to reset your mood in as little time as possible—what he calls Happiness Boosters in the form of MVIs (Minimum Viable Interventions), which include:

– Taking three deep breaths
– Writing down five things for which you are grateful
– Reading a quote slowly and deliberately
– Vigorously climbing stairs for 45 seconds

From there, discover how to improve well-being—spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional—and build a stronger base within yourself for committing to change, increasing your willpower, and finding joy in the journey.

The final step in Ben-Shahar’s guide will help you learn how to create the daily rituals that will help you turn goals into habits, and intentions into reality, using the 3 Rs of change:

– Reminders
– Repetitions
– Rituals

With concrete examples, practical, direct advice, and an easy-to-follow action plan, Ben-Shahar shows you that while cultivating lasting change takes motivation, it does not have to be a frustrating experience that is doomed to failure: you’re just starting without the foundation you need for real change.

Tal Ben-Shahar is the New York Times bestselling author of Happier and the co-founder and chief learning officer of The Happiness Studies Academy. He taught two of the largest classes in Harvard University’s history, “Positive Psychology” and “The Psychology of Leadership.” In 2022, Tal designed and launched the world’s first Master’s Degree in Happiness Studies in collaboration with Centenary University. His books have been translated into more than thirty languages, and have appeared on bestseller lists around the world.
