Punch is a collection of stories exploring the uncanny, the uncomfortable and the surreal in the everyday, at home and abroad. Whether its a man with a growth on his hand, a couple trying for a baby, a woman finishing a book, a pope with penis envy, or a bullied girl, characters throughout the collection assess their surroundings and are often forced to reassess themselves. Punch offers the reader a humorous and disturbing take on life in the twenty-first century.
A practical and spiritual guide for working moms to learn how to have more by doing less. This is a book for working women and mothers who are ready to release the culturally inherited belief that their worth is equal to their productivity, and instead create a personal and professional life that's based on presence, meaning, and joy. As opposed to focusing on "fitting it all in," time management, and leaning in, as so many books geared at ambitious women do, this book embraces the notion that through doing less women can have--and be--more. The addiction to busyness and the obsession with always trying to do more leads women, especially working mothers, to feel like they're always failing their families, their careers, their spouses, and themselves. This book will give women the permission and tools to change the way they approach their lives and allow them to embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine, cutting out the extraneous busyness from their lives so they have more satisfaction and joy, and letting themselves be more often instead of doing all the time. Do Less offers the reader a series of 14 experiments to try to see what would happen if she did less in one specific way. So, rather than approaching doing less as an entire life overhaul (which is overwhelming in and of itself), this book gives the reader bite-sized steps to try incorporating over 2 weeks!

Der liebevolle Weg zur Unabhängigkeit vom Geld Kate Northrup zeigt auf humorvolle und nachvollziehbare Weise, wie man mit Geld richtig umgeht. Bei ihr ist der Weg zur finanziellen Unabhängigkeit auch der Schlüssel zur existenziellen und spirituellen Freiheit. Es kommt nicht darauf an, wieviel man hat, sondern wie man es für die Selbstentfaltung nutzt. In die eigene Kraft kommen, auch finanziell erlernbar mit einleuchtenden Beispielen und in kleinen, achtsamen Schritten. Mit Geld muss man umgehen wie mit einem Partner, rücksichtsvoll, umsichtig und nicht zuletzt liebevoll. Praktische Vernunft ist ebenso wichtig wie die richtige emotionale Einstellung. Nur wer sein Leben und sich selbst liebt, kann auch mit seinem Geld klarkommen. Dieses Buch will nicht erklären, wie man reich wird, sondern wie man den Weg des Geldes so geht, dass man seine Lebensträume realisiert.
