    Women Who Think Too Much : How to break free of overthinking and reclaim your life

    It’s no surprise that our fast-paced, overly self-analytical culture is pushing many people – especially women – to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this overthinking, and her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women – more than half of those in her extensive study – are doing it too much and too often, leading to sadness, anxiety, and depression. In Women Who Think Too Much, Nolen-Hoeksema shows us what causes so many women to be overthinkers and provides concrete strategies that can be used to escape these negative thoughts, move to higher ground, and live more productively.

    Women Who Think Too Much will change lives, and is destined to become a self-help classic.

    Non sorprende che la nostra cultura frenetica ed eccessivamente autoanalitica spinga molte persone, soprattutto le donne, a trascorrere innumerevoli ore a pensare a idee, sentimenti ed esperienze negative. La rinomata psicologa Dott.ssa Susan Nolen-Hoeksema chiama questo fenomeno “pensare troppo” e la sua ricerca rivoluzionaria dimostra che un numero crescente di donne – più della metà di quelle oggetto del suo ampio studio – lo fa troppo e troppo spesso, il che porta a tristezza, ansia e depressione. In Women Who Think Too Much, Nolen-Hoeksema ci mostra cosa spinge così tante donne a pensare troppo e fornisce strategie concrete che possono essere utilizzate per sfuggire a questi pensieri negativi, raggiungere un livello superiore e vivere in modo più produttivo.

    Women Who Think Too Much cambia la vita ed è destinato a diventare un classico del self-help.

    Releasing 10

    A love that couldn’t be broken, except by the truth. Lizzie Young has always felt she was too much everything. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a young age, she’s never fit in with her family, her friends, her community.

    Lizzie wants to be accepted and understood, but with few people in her corner, she’s carried her burdens and her trauma on her own. But when she meets a kind boy on the school bus, things start to look bright for the first time in her life … Hugh Biggs has an old soul and the wisdom of someone far beyond his years. A young man with a sharp mind and a firm code of ethics, he sees something in Lizzie Young that he can’t resist.

    He wants to be her everything and shoulder her burden. And Lizzie wants that too. Lizzie and Hugh’s bond seems unbreakable – their chemistry is electric, their love is potent, and their connection is soul deep – but even the truest love can be shaken by forces beyond control.

  • Wild Side

    Wild Side

    I’d always dreamed of my wedding day.

    But not like this. Not looking into the eyes of the man who betrayed me. But when my nephew’s guardianship is contested, I decide I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill.

    Even if it means marrying the enemy. Rhys Dupris. A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating.

    A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises-ones he won’t talk about. In fact, we barely talk at all. Which would be fine, except when he’s not talking, he’s staring.

    And the way he looks at me is borderline indecent. The tension between us has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation.

    I swore I would never forgive him. But that was before I knew the man behind the mask. The one who’s fierce and protective.

    The one who’s gentle and patient. The one who shows up for us when we need him most. He’s not at all who I thought he was.

    And that makes hating my husband so much harder… and loving him just a little too easy.

    Iron Flame

    She survived her first year at Basgiath War College … but the danger is only beginning. Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included.

    But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits, and a will of iron.

    Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn’t like or a man she couldn’t charm… except for Kai Young. It shouldn’t matter.

    He’s not her type – the man translates classics into Latin for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he’s strictly off limits. But she can’t deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch. No matter how hard they try, they can’t resist giving into their forbidden desires.

    Even if it costs them everything.
