Climate Optimist Handbook
How do you find the courage to choose positive change in uncertain times? How do you spread optimism to people concerned about the future but who feel too overwhelmed to know how to act? Anne Therese Gennari has been seeking the answers to those questions most of her life, and in The Climate Optimist Handbook, she offers encouragement, wisdom, and practical tools to help us let go of fear and the dismal truth of today to build toward a world that can be better and more beautiful than anything we've yet seen. That future starts with shifting the narrative on climate change so we can act from courage and excitement, not fear. We must let go of the guilt and responsibility we feel to save the planet and move into a place of opportunity, optimism, and hope. We should act not because it's our duty, but because we recognize the beautiful and exciting opportunity we have to participate in the shift toward an even better world. The Climate Change Optimist Handbook will guide you through that
Anathema: The optimist
180 gram vinyl.Sedan de bildades 1990 har Anathema levt upp till sitt namn; ett band som försakar mode till förmån för den outtröttliga jakten på låtskrivarperfektion, sonisk substans och ett storögt erövrande av nya musikaliska terränger.Redan i ett tidigt skede hyllades dem som pionjärer inom en hel subgenre. Därefter har de ägnat hela sin karriär åt att frångå och utmana de enkla beskrivningarna. Lågmält progressiva och ideligen fokuserade på nya horisonter har de konstant utvecklats. Kanske är det därför de befäst sin position som ett av Storbritanniens mest omtyckta och kritiskt hyllade rockband. De bemästrar melankoli, melodi och atmosfär på ett sätt som skiljer dem från andra band inom den progressiva musiken.2014 återvände de med sitt tionde studioalbum, Distant Satellites. Producerat av Christer-André Cederberg i Oslo var det en milstolpe i karriären. Dessutom visade det upp ytterligare ett framsteg i deras strävan efter det mirakulösa låtskrivandet. Vägran att återupprepa gamla framgångsrecept är helt klart en egenskap som definierar Anathema, likaså den kollektiva kärleken till att skapa. Det enda man kan förvänta sig av albumet The Optimist är att det inte låter som någonting de har gjort tidigare.
Optimisti, Ljudbok
Kun kokenut näyttelijä on pakotettu jättämään tutun teatterin, hän putoaa pian kaikkien turvaverkkojen ulkopuolelle. Työvoimatoimisto, Kela, terveydenhuolto ja sosiaalitoimisto pettävät miehen, ja tunne vääjäämättä lähestyvästä tuhosta alkaa kalvaa häntä.

Practical Optimism
A practical program rooted in optimism to help you live fully and joyfully in an imperfect, turbulent world As the first medical director and attending psychiatrist at the World Trade Center Mental Health Program, Dr. Sue Varma worked directly with civilian and first-responder survivors in the aftermath of 9/11. There, she met people at every point of the stress and trauma continuum. She saw devastation and stagnancy as much as she saw amazing resilience and growth. She asked herself: how do some people survive, even thrive, despite profound challenges? And how can we optimize the things we have control over, while buffering ourselves from stress? Through her work with patients and combining philosophy, her own personal experience, and a review of the latest research in psychology, psychiatry, medicine, and neuroscience, Dr. Varma discovered that the answer lies in cultivating an optimistic mindset that stays tethered to the real world and helps us make sound and reasonable decisions.

Relentless Optimism
Studies prove that positive thinkers are happier, healthier, and more successful than everyone else. Discover the simple, proven techniques for becoming a more positive person... Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Study after study proves this. Researchers have found that optimistic people live longer, live healthier, have more energy, have more successful careers, make better decisions, are more productive, are less stressed, have healthier relationships, and (not surprisingly) are much happier than pessimists. However, a lot has been misunderstood about what it means to be a positive thinker and what it takes to maintain an optimistic mindset. It takes a lot more than repeating feel-good platitudes to make positive thinking work in your life. It takes discipline, commitment, and a proper understanding of what optimism really means in a world that is constantly throwing new challenges at us. This is a book for anyone who has ever questioned whether positive thinking really

Diaz Madi: Fatal Optimist
Madi Diaz, nyligen dubbelt GRAMMY-nominerad för albumet "Weird Faith" och hyllad av The New York Times som "en framväxande bard för brustna hjärtan", är tillbaka. "Fatal Optimist" föddes ur en period av total isolering efter ett avslutat förhållande. Resultatet är hennes mest avskalade och intima album hittills, inspelat tillsammans med producenten Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy, Zach Bryan). Kärnan i "Fatal Optimist" är Madi Diaz ensam i ett rum med sin akustiska gitarr. Enkelheten är avsiktlig och låter de starka känslorna tala för sig själva.
