"The most insightful guide to getting moving I've ever read.” —Kelly McGonigal, author of The Joy of MovementBreak down the common everyday mental blocks to moving your body, and turn your mind from an adversary into an ally in the quest to feel better in your body."I know I should move my body more, but...I’m on my feet all day for work and I’m exhausted!"I’m addicted to my phone."I’m great at starting movement programs, just lousy at sticking with them."My body jiggles and embarrasses me in public."Movement is sooooo boring!"Sound familiar? If not, it probably means you have another perfectly good excuse of your own. We all have our reasons for not getting the physical activity we know is good for us—reasons which stubbornly defy the same old tired prescriptive advice about hours of weekly cardio or numbers of steps. Adding insult to injury, these same excuses contribute to you feeling bad or guilty when you fail to move as much as you know you “should.”That’s why Diana Hill and Katy Bowman have put together this simple guide to changing the way you think to change how much you move.Diana is a modern psychologist, expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and host of the Wise Effort podcast. Her mission is to help her clients and readers grow the psychological flexibility needed to get moving in directions that matter to them. Katy is a biomechanist, author, and trailblazing movement teacher who has spent a career helping people integrate more movement into their lives. In I Know I Should Exercise, But…, the two join forces to help you challenge your barriers to movement in a new way. Katy translates her understanding of the obstacles that keep people sedentary—including dozens of real-world examples from readers and clients—into 44 essential impediments to movement. Diana responds to those common barriers, while introducing you to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavioral psychology, and self-compassion: evidence-based-approaches for cultivating flexibility and aligning actions with values.Whether your internal barrier is born of fear, malaise, inertia, embarrassment, or difficulty managing competing priorities, you will learn how to disempower it by applying effective science-based tools for changing the way you think.You’ll learn to identify your resistance—whether it’s an unhelpful thought, a misplaced motivation, or a contextual barrier—and respond wisely and effectively, using tools and techniques that can be applied to other areas of your life as well, including:urge surfingmotivational interviewingbehavioral stretchingstrengthening your acceptance muscleThis is a must-have book for anyone struggling with the mental barriers to moving more and an essential resource for personal trainers, fitness instructors, and mental health professionals wanting to better connect with their clients.Stretch your mind, connect with what is truly important to you, and stop talking yourself out of the movement you need!

Iyanla Vanzant's classic book on forgiveness gets a modern update. Take back your power, heal toxic relationships, and harness the energy of your thoughts. Too many of us feel stuck, trapped in relationships, and weighed down by past trauma. We might be quick to judge and slow to pardon, and self-righteous about our feelings as we dwell on memories of what we or others did (or failed to do). With this book, New York Times best-selling author and spiritual leader Iyanla Vanzant challenges us to embrace the new power of forgiveness. With Iyanla's 21-Day Forgiveness Plan, you'll explore relationship dynamics with your parents, children, friends, partners, yourself, and even God. Through journaling work and Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as "tapping"), you'll learn to see yourself, your life, your every experience, and every person in your life from a different perspective. The free audio download that accompanies this book contains personal guidance from Iyanla on the Forgiveness Process, supportive meditations, and 18 daily prayers. Whatever challenges you face, forgiveness is the key to change. Forgiveness doesn't mean agreeing with, condoning, or even liking what has happened. It means letting go and knowing that everything is just as it needs to be in order for you to grow and learn. Releasing the past restores you to the full energy of the present moment so that you can live with more love, gain clarity on your life's lessons and blessings, and discover a new level of personal freedom, peace, and well-being. If you are ready to stop feeling bad, stop being wounded, and stop giving yourself reasons and excuses to be, do, and have less than you desire . . . It's time to forgive everyone for everything! Forgive Everyone for Everything is a revised edition of Forgiveness: 21 Days to Forgive Everyone for Everything (9781401952044).

A moving, patient-centered portrait of the social importance of speech, from a medical expert known for his humanizing explorations of health.Language comes to us through culture, environment, and family. Words embed over time, as we use our minds to comprehend them and then our mouths to say, mean, and own them. Without the ability to speak, or when talking becomes difficult, we face a challenge like few others, forced to reconnect with a world that assumes its communicators are eloquent vocally. In Hard Talk, Jonathan Cole takes a necessary look at the privilege of speech so we can better accommodate those for whom it presents problems. Cole creates space for people with a variety of conditions, including cerebral palsy, vocal cord palsy, cleft palate, Parkinson’s, and post-stroke aphasia, to describe in their own words what the experience of difficult speech is like. No struggle is the same. Each develops along its own axis of factors—cognitive, social, and physical—that lead to unique vulnerabilities as well as extraordinary moments of adaptation and resilience. One person finds social chatter becoming more problematic than work speech. Another grows alarmed as changes in speech begin to constrain inner thoughts. Some lose the ability to find or make words though they retain awareness, while others lose self-awareness but maintain fluent speech bereft of meaning. One even loses the ability to speak with family while continuing to interact at work.Hard Talk reacquaints us with the social power of speech while affirming the humane value of listening. Cole also reflects on the neuroscientific advances we’ve made in understanding barriers to speech and how we might reduce them.
