The 5 Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Let go of perfect and become a transformative, positive influence in a child's life while creating your own definition of success with this "wisdom-packed guide" (Orpah Daily) from developmental psychologist and podcaster Dr. Aliza Pressman. "My go-to for how we all raise good humans, including ourselves!" --Drew Barrymore In the age of high-pressure parenting, when so many of us feel like we've got to get everything exactly right the first time, Dr. Aliza Pressman is the compassionate, reassuring expert we all need--and the one whose advice we can all use. Already beloved by listeners of the hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair. The 5 Principles of Parenting doesn't presume to tell you how to parent with "my way is right" advice because the science is clear: There's no one "right" way to raise good humans. No matter how you were raised, how your coparent behaves, or how your kids have been parented up until now, The 5 Principles of Parenting offers "accessible advice, reflective tools, and everyday parenting strategies" (Daniel Siegel, MD, New Your Times bestselling author) to chart a manageable course for raising good humans that's aligned with your own values and with your own children's unique temperaments. Whether you're in the trenches with a toddler or a tween (because spoiler alert: the tantrums of childhood mirror the tantrums of adolescence), it's never too late to learn to use these 5 principles to reparent yourself and help your kids build the resilience they need to thrive. Through practice and normalizing imperfection, along the way you'll discover the person you're ultimately raising is yourself. By becoming more intentional people, we become better parents. By becoming better parents, we become better people. Let's get started.

Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life

Part memoir, part manifesto, Soulbbatical is an invitation to become Chief Soul Officer of your own life--and to open up a whole new world of possibility. Former Harley-Davidson executive Shelley Paxton walked away at the peak of her twenty-six-year marketing career and embarked on a profoundly personal journey to reconnect with her true purpose and deepest desires. Her "Soulbbatical," not only changed her life, it became her calling. Paxton had a wildly successful life by most definitions--iconic brands, executive titles, and a globe-trotting career that took her to over sixty countries. She had one of the coolest jobs in the world yet couldn't shake the feeling that she had lost something along the way. Something was missing. In Soulbbatical, Shelley shares the sometimes harrowing, often hilarious journey through the illness, divorce, addiction, and tragedy that finally woke her up. Suddenly she was rebelling for her best life and embracing a new mission: to encourage others to live their most authentic, courageous, and purposeful lives--today. This "honest, emotionally gut-wrenching, and ultimately soul-satisfying" (Kirkus Reviews) book is an unconventional, exhilarating, and deeply personal road map to discovering what you really want--and getting it. Because no matter how far you've strayed from your soul's true path, it's never too late for transformation.
