Running is My Therapy
Summary
There's no other book like this. Longtime running writer Scott Douglas marshals expert advice (including his own, cultivated from more than 100,000 miles of personal experience), and a growing body of scientific research to show how running can make us happier. How? Everyone knows that running builds stronger muscles and a healthier heart; science now shows it also helps develop a healthier brain. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, a consistent running routine can enhance the mental-health benefits of talk therapy, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The key to running's therapeutic power lies in its lasting physiological effects, inducing changes in brain structure and chemistry that other forms of exercise don't. Thanks to the body's release of natural pain-relievers that includes the best mood boost in all of sports. Running is my therapy is no longer just a mantra for seasoned runners; with science behind him, Douglas presents proven methods so that we can all use running to improve our mental health and live happier - in and out of running shoes.

Pause and Listen: The Art of Active Listening
Summary
Do you want to drastically improve your conversation skills? Understand the hidden meaning of what your interlocutor is saying? Deepen your relationships with your partners, friends, or coworkers? Let me make a guess. If I ask you how you can improve your conversation, you’re immediately thinking about how to talk more, be more impactful, funny, and engaging. I get it, we’re all the same. However, we can also agree that talking is only one half of every conversation. The rest of the time, you’re listening to your interlocutor talking. Or at least you should be. But are you really? Most of us are so concerned by what they’re going to say next that they don’t really pay full attention to what other people are saying. We think we do, sure, but studies show that the average person listens with only about 25 percent efficiency. How about you? Do you sometimes “wake up” in the middle of a conversation without the slightest idea of what your interlocutor is saying? Do you make people repeat themselves? Do you find it difficult to explore deeper subjects with people you don’t know very well? If you recognized yourself in some of these sentences, then you need to learn active listening. It is a much underrated skill, especially in today’s society where everybody craves being the center of attention. Yet the payoff is enormous. Because when you’re listening closely enough, people will tell you what they really want or need. What they don’t dare to say out loud or just don’t know how to express. And if you can be the one that “gets it”, then your relationships, whether in your business, social, or romantic life, will skyrocket to a whole different level of connection and trust. This audiobook will teach you how. Inside you’ll learn: The secret way to read between the lines and understand the deeper meaning behind the words How to be present instead of passive How to never make someone repeat what they just said again How to respond rather than react How to read body language like an FBI agent; what the mouth won’t tell you, the body always will Assumption: why it can ruin your social life and what to do about it And much, much more You can become a better listener, even if you’re known for being distracted or never paying attention. Are you ready to find out what people have been trying to tell you for ages? Then buy and listen actively to this audiobook!

Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born
Summary
The story of Christmas like you’ve never heard before... The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin. We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairy-tale. It’s an inspiring one for sure. But a fairy-tale, nonetheless. When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that there’s more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a message - a gift to unwrap. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is. This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: God’s gift to us. This book is a stand-alone title of the Organic Faith series.
