Want to avoid impulse buying?
Spending is emotional. Here’s how to change your thinking:
1) Ask: why did I buy that thing—take it back if you don’t need it.
2) Think before you buy.
3) Slow down to get rid of sudden desires.
4) Instead of thinking “I don’t have enough”, think, “I always have more than enough.”

Zuo yue zi
Translated as “sitting the month”, Chinese culture as well as many others, prescribes zuo yue zi as a 30–40 day period of rest and recovery for new mothers. While some have help from relatives and/or a post-partum doula, Western culture is still slow to officially endorse the concept.
Strangers bound in grief
In memory of their young daughters—Sophie, Beth and Emily—who took their own lives, three dads set out on a 300-mile journey. Putting one foot in front of the other in spite of their pain, they captured the hearts of millions: laughing together, crying together, fighting to be heard. With each hill climbed and story shared, they rediscover their faith in humanity and are inspired by the kindness of strangers. Woven around personal diary entries and their own experiences of deep grief, this book, told in three distinct parts by each dad, grows into a beacon of hope for anyone struggling.
