Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A perennial bestseller that begins with a warning: Proceed with caution. This book is only for those with a twisted imagination. Be prepared to leave conventional thought behind and join the ranks of the demented and insane. Previously published as Would You Rather . . . , with 356,000 copies in print, Damned If You Do . . . is an addictive game in a book that challenges readers to ask--and attempt to answer--more than 400 questions that range from the heinous to the nauseating to the downright disturbing. Each is a field-tested conversation starter guaranteed to provoke ridiculous fun, break the ice at any party, and, like some kind of sick Rorschach test, open a unique window into the minds of friends and family. Some questions delight in their own grossness: Would you rather . . . Eat three earthworms-OR-wear a necklace made of them on your wedding day Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs-OR-three fat men with bad breath Some force you to reveal values: Would you rather . . . Age only from the neck up-OR-age only from the neck down Be stupid and rich-OR-smart and poor Some create that squirming sensation: Would you rather . . . Get a bad case of poison ivy way up inside your nose-OR-inside your inner ear And some are just deliciously absurd. Each question also features related, often off-the-wall information, from quotes to dumb jokes to delightfully odd trivia (326-pound President William Howard Taft once got stuck in the White House bathroom).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Willemse, Catherine (illustrator). Neuware - In a world that demands so much from women, every hour of every day, affirmations are a powerful part of self-care, a way of strengthening the self, quieting the noise, and finding inner peace. They are simple but potent words that, when spoken with intention as a daily practice, help us become our strongest, kindest, most real, and most comfortably imperfect selves. The eloquent affirmations and vibrant illustrations of No One Does It Like You combine in a fresh, timely way to bring a needed message to millennial women, a way that is wise, beautiful, surprising, and never saccharine or preachy. The language is singular, personal, memorable: Regard yourself as the moon; wash everything in your light. \* When you're tempted to say 'I don't know,' consider that you do, and try that instead. \* Gild the Kingdom of your brain; Keep researching \* You can be true evidence of goodness for others. And the art, filled with characters that every reader will relate to, sets the affirmations in a real moment, reinforcing the idea that this is a book to celebrate everything that makes us us--and the message that you, the reader, are not alone.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In her international bestseller Strong Is the New Pretty (with 329,000 copies in print), the photographer Kate T. Parker changed the way we see girls by showing us their truest selves--fearless, messy, wild, stubborn, proud. Now it's time to talk about our boys. Prompted by #metoo, school shootings, bullying, and other toxic behavior, there's a national conversation going on about what defines masculinity and how to raise sons to become good people. And Kate Parker is joining in by turning her lens to boys. The result is possibly even more moving, more eloquent, more surprising than Strong.The Heart of a Boy is a deeply felt celebration of boyhood as it's etched in the faces and bodies of dozens of boys, ages 5 to 18. There's the pensive look of a skateboarder caught in a moment between rides. The years of dedication in a ballet dancer's poise. The love of a younger brother hugging his older brother. The unself-conscious joy of a goofy grin with a missing tooth. The casual intimacy of two friends at a lemonade stand. The shyness of a lone boy and his model boat. The intensity in a football huddle. The proud, challenging gaze of a boy bald from alopecia--and the same kind of gaze, but wreathed in tenderness, of a boy a few years younger with flowing, almost waist-length hair. There are guitarists, fencers, wrestlers, star-gazers, a pilot--it's the world of our sons, in all their amazing variety and difference. The photographs feel spontaneous, direct, and with so much eye contact between the viewed and the viewer that it's impossible to turn away. And throughout, words from the boys themselves enrich every photo. What a gift for boys and anyone who is raising them.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Picture this: a calm, chill pregnancy book with the magical soothing powers of a yoga class. That's the approach of The New Rules of Pregnancy. Here the experts guide you, the modern pregnant woman, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest, compassionate, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby's development, it's all about you, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent, busy reader (who, somewhere inside, is shouting, 'Just tell me what to do!'). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered--from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues ('What makes it postpartum depression '). The book also covers that critical 'fourth trimester'--'Nursing' and 'How to Feel Like Yourself Again'--because once the baby is born, self-care typically goes out the window, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth--two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest, calmest, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book's voice--motivating, supportive, real--comes from Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health Rules.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Celebrate the joys of living with less. Less stuff. Less stress. Less overthinking. Less judgment. Less excess.
