The Happy Sleeper
Summary
An urgent message for sleep-deprived parents: You don't have to suffer through "cry-it-out" or attachment parenting's "co-sleeping." There's another way! Parents spend a great deal of time and energy coaxing, negotiating, singing, and swinging their children to sleep. Yet studies show that sleep deprivation among young kids is rampant. Babies and young children get an average of 9.5 hours of rest per night when experts agree that they need 11-12 hours. A mountain of research links drowsiness to academic, health, and psychological problems. It turns out that over time, all that cajoling and soothing can actually have the opposite of its desired effect. The harder we try (with the best of intentions and boatloads of love), the more we get in the way of our kids' natural sleep development. The Happy Sleeper shows parents how to avoid and undo cumbersome sleep habits, putting their babies and little kids on track to a full night's sleep. Heather Turgeon, a columnist for Babble.com and writer for the National Sleep Foundation, and Julie Wright, a psychotherapist and highly-popular parenting expert, teach parents that babies have an innate capacity to self-soothe, as well as the brain machinery to sleep well. So why do many families struggle at night? Most do what works today, but don't notice when it's no longer needed tomorrow, and then push harder when it becomes a hindrance the day after that. Parents get stuck working overtime with fanfare and tricks to put their babies and children to bed - lying down with their kids, re-tucking and refilling water glasses endlessly. Mindfulness - the practice of using focused attention, being present and open - has proven effective in many realms of health and serves as the foundation for the techniques in this audiobook. Using these methods in a thoughtful, attuned, and loving way, parents transfer the role of soothing from themselves to the children. The Happy Sleeper features a foreword by neuropsychiatrist and popular parenting expert Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of Parenting from the Inside Out and the New York Times best-seller Brainstorm. Includes a bonus PDF with worksheets and charts. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy
Summary
In 10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy, two of the world's leading couple researchers and therapists give listeners an inside tour of what goes on inside the consulting rooms of their practice. They have been doing couples work for decades and still find it challenging and full of learning experiences. This book distills the knowledge they've gained over their years of practice into 10 principles at the core of good couples work. Each principle is illustrated with a clinically compiled case plus personal side-notes and storytelling. Topics addressed include: You know that you need to "treat the relationship," but how are you supposed to get at something as elusive as "a relationship"? How do you empathize with both clients if they have opposite points of view? Later on, if they end up separating does that mean you've failed? Are you only successful if you keep couples together? Compared to an individual client, a relationship is an entirely different animal. What should you do first? What should you look for? What questions should you ask? If clients give different answers, who should you believe? Contains mature themes. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Radical Responsibility
Summary
What is the greatest obstacle to fulfillment, success, and happiness? "It's the belief that your current situation, whatever it is, has the power to determine your future," teaches Fleet Maull. Before he was a revered meditation teacher, Maull served 14 years in prison for drug trafficking. During that time, he embarked on a path of transformation and service that has helped tens of thousands - from inmates to hospice patients to top-level business leaders. With Radical Responsibility, he invites us to experience for ourselves the life-changing journey from victim to cocreator. "When we escape the belief that we are limited by our circumstances or others, we access the full power of our authentic selves," writes Maull. Through teachings, practices, and Maull's deep empathy for those in challenging life situations, this step-by-step book shows us how.
