Accountability is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for and to repair the harm caused by one’s actions. It features prominently in our relationships, personal lives, and professional lives. Everything from stealing money from work to lying to a friend to making a mistake at school that caused someone else to get in trouble to pressuring your spouse into having sex when they aren’t interested to murdering a stranger on the street - each require accountability, albeit dramatically different kinds. At its heart, accountability is understanding that your actions do not always have the impact that you intend; it is ownership of your actions, working to repair problematic issues, and learning how to prevent patterns from forming or continuing in the future. Sometimes this is as simple as getting to know yourself and apologizing. Sometimes it’s a years-long process to recognize the motivations and behaviors that you see inside yourself and feel like you have no control over. How to Be Accountable will walk you through your own head to understand your own patterns and behaviors, untangle them, and live the kind of life you want.

Sacrificing yourself causes stress and can lead to addiction, obesity and other compensation behavior patterns. Constantly pleasing your partner is not only unhealthy and dysfunctional for your relationship, but also for yourself. Creating and maintaining a healthy, loving relationship that can last requires some fundamental changes in yourself. In The Codependency Help Book, you´ll discover: What codependency is and if you are suffering from it How to turn from people pleaser to self lover The snow-ball effect that keeps you locked in your relationship and how to break the circle The underlying cause of your need to take more care of others than yourself The most common toxins in your relationship and how to get rid of them Warning signs of stepping into a codependent relationship to never fall back into the trap How to say goodbye if your relationship is expired How to create a happy and fulfilling future for yourself And much more. You are terrified of losing your partner if you give them less attention and focus more on yourself. Yet, take a second and ask yourself what relationship means. In a relationship the needs of each partner have to be equally relevant. You are there to inspire each other and grow together instead of scaring or stressing each other. Your relationship is only supposed to last if you are loved for the unique person that you are. This guide is very easy to follow that you will have success with it, even if you tried to break free several times before and failed. You'll discover tools and strategies that will give you the strength you need to feel confident instead of lonely.

Do you love curling up with a blanket, a coffee, and a good book? If you want to learn how to appreciate the little things and enjoy your life day by day, then keep reading... You might now be rehearsing Hygge longer than you may suspect. Hygge is a concept that began in Danish civilization, which spotlights on living with a sense of relaxation and stability. It’s been depicted as, "creating a warm atmosphere and getting a charge from these valuable things in life with fantastic individuals". The word “hygge” derives itself from a Norwegian word meaning “well-being”. As we know it, it first appeared in Danish writings in the 19th century and has since evolved to encompass an entire cultural phenomenon known most prominently in Denmark. That is the technical aspect of its linguistic history though, and every Dane you will ever come across will think of every other word in their language before deeming hygge “technical". When it comes to defining, categorizing, and identifying a feeling of hygge, the term “lifestyle” does not quite capture it. Hygge does not encompass rules, regulations, products, or even stereotypical mantras. It encompasses a feeling. This is the reason the Scandinavian word is untranslatable in many countries. For areas of the world that base their ideas of success, wealth, and growth on personal assets and analyzed statistics, the idea of utilizing emotion to, somehow, judge personal growth on these typical scales is foreign and nonsensical. Hygge is not merely the promotion of relaxation and comfort, though that is how one gauges whether or not hygge is being achieved. Promoting these aspects of life enable inward health, from physical healing to mental rejuvenation. The reduction of stresses and anxieties help the body heal from the damage that stress induces over long periods of time. The reduction of stress reduces levels of damaging chemicals, which can elicit everything from life-threatening fatigue to chronic, debilitating migraines. Filled with amazing advice and useful tips, as well as some deliciously inspirational Hygge recipes for great food and drink that is meant for sharing, Hygge is a book that is full of surprises and one that will change the way you live and enjoy life. Buy the audiobook today, and start living a Hygge life now!

Do you want to be happy and successful? Think back to a time when you were truly happy, that one moment of pure bliss when your heart was full and everything was right. For many people, it might mean thinking back to their childhood or a former love. The point is we have all experienced happiness at some point in our lives. However, somewhere along the way, we get lost in daily life; we forget what happiness is. Mary had a wonderful life. She got an excellent job right out of college, met a great guy got married, and had three wonderful kids. However, despite having all this, Mary still felt empty and alone. Dylan was always a hard worker; he was employee of the month most of the year. His boss loved him; however, his girlfriend left him because he never seemed to have time for her. The sad thing about it is he worked so hard because he wanted to provide a good life for her. He even wanted to propose. Now, after a long day, he goes home to an empty house and a microwave dinner. You might not be like Mary or Dylan, but something is keeping you from being happy. It could be because you hate your job, but you are too afraid to quit, or your relationship is crumbling, but you are still holding on even though you're both miserable. Whatever the reason is, you are not happy. Today, happiness has become so elusive because we look to external factors to make us happy. And like so many other unhappy people out there, your search for happiness has been fruitless. True, long-lasting happiness comes from within, as Buddha said, so even Aristotle agrees. It is a combination of factors; however, the most important determinant of your happiness is you. According to studies, 50 percent of your happiness is dependent on your genetics, 40 percent on intentional activities, and 10 percent on external factors, such as money, friends, or likes. This means you have a lot more control over your happiness than you thought, nearly 90 percent. To be truly happy, take a deep look within and ask yourself a couple of hard questions. Do you need all those material things you have? Are all your social media followers making you happy? Is that relationship you are in making you happy? Attaining happiness is a personal journey; it requires a lot of hard work, which only you can do. In Tired of Life?: Life Changing Choices and Habits That Schools Should Have Taught Us to Be Happy and Successful, you’ll discover: The right definition of happiness The ideal mindset to live a happier life Why certain emotions and behaviors you have could be keeping you from leading a happier life The single most important key to a good life Why failure isn’t as bad as you think How to deal with a condition most people suffer from that causes unhappiness How to navigate catastrophic events and still be happy Finding happiness can be hard, and you might have a hard time realizing how to do that. However, you can be happy if you are open and willing to try the suggestions in this book. We all have read or listened to a thousand other books and articles on happiness, and the million-dollar question you might be asking yourself is: What makes this book different that it would work for me? The book has simplified the concepts. It is straightforward lay person talk, no frills but still based on scientific studies and research.
