Your Head is a Houseboatis a uniquely hilarious guide to what goes on in your brain, from illustration sensation Campbell Walker aka Struthless. The only truthwe really know is that were going to spend the rest of our lives in our own houseboat (our head)so itmakes sense to make that houseboat as good as possible. The houseboat needs cleaning and maintenance, and it shouldnt be weighed down by junk (our own thoughts and other peoples opinions). Theresa bunch of bosses with different ideas about where you should be heading in the ocean of life, and a zoo of animalistic desires below the deck who are really steering. But its your houseboat, so its probably time for you to cast away and set sail (is that even how houseboats work?) on a journey to understanding it.InYour Head is a Houseboat, Cam demystifies brain functions, mental health, emotions, mindfulness and psychology but with less complex terminology and more bizarremetaphors.Its a bookfilled with illustrations, journal exercises and words that will probably hit too close to home.At its core, this is a funny, accessible approach to understanding your head and making it a nicer place to live.The most important and accessible mental health book in a generation. Truly life-changing. Osher Gunsberg
An inspirational, practical, and research-based guide for standing up and speaking out skillfully at work.Have you ever wanted to disagree with your boss? Speak up about your company's lack of diversity or unequal pay practices? Make a tough decision you knew would be unpopular?We all have opportunities to be courageous at work. But since courage requires risk—to our reputations, our social standing, and, in some cases, our jobs—we often fail to act, which leaves us feeling powerless and regretful for not doing what we know is right. There's a better way to handle these crucial moments—and Choosing Courage provides the moral imperative and research-based tactics to help you become more competently courageous at work.Doing for courage what Angela Duckworth has done for grit and Brene Brown for vulnerability, Jim Detert, the world's foremost expert on workplace courage, explains that courage isn't a character trait that only a few possess; it's a virtue developed through practice. And with the right attitude and approach, you can learn to hone it like any other skill and incorporate it into your everyday life.Full of stories of ordinary people who've acted courageously, Choosing Courage will give you a fresh perspective on the power of voicing your authentic ideas and opinions. Whether you're looking to make a mark, stay true to your values, act with more integrity, or simply grow as a professional, this is the guide you need to achieve greater impact at work.
