Four Dukes and a Devil

Not Looking For Mr. Right? Dr. Delaney Poole thinks Harp Cove, Maine, will be the perfect place to settle down and raise her infant daughter -- though she can't say why. Something wonderful happened in this charming, two-spotlight coastal town on a previous summer night, when a sexy stranger stole his way briefly into her heart and then moved on. But now single-mom Delaney has to invent a husband in order to deflect small town gossip -- buying masculine clothing that no one will ever wear, framing pictures she's cut from magazine. Her foolproof plan has one small glitch, however: her one-time mystery man is Delaney's new landlord! Jack Shepard never dreamed he'd see Delaney again -- and he doesn't believe for one minute her cockamamie story about a husband! While he's exploring the leaks in Delaney's bathroom -- and in her alleged "marriage" -- he's trying desperately to get her to admit that they share something special. But when the truth does come out, can Jack and Delaney deal with the passionate consequence?

Small–town veterinarian Megan Rose doesn't usually wake up next to strangers. But this morning she finds one sleeping in her bed. Unfortunately, "Baywatch" a stray puppy, doesn't belong at the address on her tags, either: the mansion of Sutter Foley, millionaire software mogul and six fabulous feet of gorgeous, eligible male. Sutter doesn't even like dogs. He does, however, like the sexy, spunky vet who's trying to saddle him with a pooch. The animal magnetism they share is intense, but so is the spotlight in which Sutter lives. Can Megan stand the heat? Though her outspoken ways make a lot of waves in Sutter's goldfish–bowl world, he's never enjoyed life so much. Could she be the trustworthy companion he's been looking for . . . or should he stick with the dog? It's the old story: girl meets dog . . . girl and dog meet guy . . . guy loses girl, gets dog . . .

Down the Rabbit Hole

Are you optimistic or pessimistic? Glass half-full or half-empty? Do you look on the bright side or turn towards the dark? These are easy questions for most of us to answer, because our personality types are hard-wired into our brains. As pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Elaine Fox has discovered, our outlook on life reflects our primal inclination to seek pleasure or avoid danger -- inclinations that, in many people, are healthily balanced. But when our "fear brain" or "pleasure brain" is too strong, the results can be disastrous, as those of us suffering from debilitating shyness, addiction, depression, or anxiety know all too well. Luckily, anyone suffering from these afflictions has reason to hope. Stunning breakthroughs in neuroscience show that our brains are more malleable than we ever imagined. In Rainy Brain, Sunny Brain, Fox describes a range of techniques -- from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy to innovative cognitive-retraining exercises -- that can actually alter our brains' circuitry, strengthening specific thought processes by exercising the neural systems that control them. The implications are enormous: lifelong pessimists can train themselves to think positively and find happiness, while pleasure-seekers inclined toward risky or destructive behavior can take control of their lives. Drawing on her own cutting-edge research, Fox shows how we can retrain our brains to brighten our lives and learn to flourish. With keen insights into how genes, life experiences and cognitive processes interleave together to make us who we are, Rainy Brain, SunnyBrain revolutionizes our basic concept of individuality. We learn that we can influence our own personalities, and that our lives are only as "sunny" or as "rainy" as we allow them to be.

How to Retrain Your Brain to Overcome Pessimism and Achieve a More Positive Outlook

Christmas Spirit

Anne Sayer learned long ago that fairy tales don't come true. Connor Emory was the "prince" of a rich and powerful family and she was the "hired help," and for one glorious Maine summer, it was heaven. But evil stepmothers do exist, so Anne's "happily-ever-after" -- wasn't. Dashing, charismatic, and successful, Connor never understood what happened all those years ago, but he's sure now it was for the best. As the reigning heir to the family estate, he returns to Candlewick Island for one reason only: to sell the cursed castle where his heart was broken and dismiss from his life the woman responsible. But Anne, now more beautiful and confident than ever, no longer fits his memory -- and Connor is intrigued. But enough so to risk his heart again? A long way from the girl she had been, Anne knows what she wants. Armed with a scheme to save the estate and aided by a houseful of eccentric cohorts, this "Cinderella" intends to win back her prince. Because the glass slipper that would never have fit a decade ago is the perfect size now ...

Penelope Porter longed for a baby. But now that her marriage is over, she's turned to the next best thing—a cute, cuddly puppy. Mr. Darcy's an absolute sweetheart, but he could use a stint in obedience school. He keeps sneaking over to the shop across the street, the one owned by Baltimore bad boy Dylan Mersey. Not that Penelope minds having to fetch her dog from his handsome new friend . . . Mr. Darcy? Only a high-society hottie would name a mischievous pooch after a romantic hero. No, to Dylan this pup's name is Bonsai . . . and his owner's impossible to resist.

Em O método switch, a renomada pesquisadora Elaine Fox ensina a desenvolver uma mente mais ágil, flexível e resiliente para aceitar e se adaptar às mudanças. Há momentos da vida em que parece haver uma série de obstáculos entre nós e o sucesso: pessoas difíceis com quem temos que lidar no dia a dia, problemas para resolver que parecem estar além das nossas habilidades ou até mesmo a necessidade de fazer escolhas difíceis ou dolorosas. A sensação é de estar levando a vida aos tropeços. Estar pronto para lidar com períodos de transição e aceitar que cada pessoa é responsável por administrar o próprio bem-estar em vez de agir como vítima passiva das mudanças são as máximas do método desenvolvido pela professora, pesquisadora e neurocientista Elaine Fox. Em O método switch você vai aprender técnicas para desenvolver: Agilidade mental: ser ágil e sagaz na forma como raciocina, age e sente, para que consiga percorrer todos os tipos de caminho e se adaptar bem à mudança de circunstâncias. Autoconhecimento: olhar para dentro de si mesmo, com o objetivo de entender e apreciar profundamente seus valores e suas capacidades. Percepção das emoções: Aprender a aceitar e acalentar todas as suas emoções — tanto as boas quanto as ruins —, além de dominá-las em prol de seus objetivos. Percepção das situações: compreender seus arredores — olhar para fora —, para que você desenvolva uma consciência automática e profunda do contexto, assim como a própria "intuição". O método switch é um livro para todos que desejam expandir a capacidade de driblar dificuldades e se adaptar melhor às inevitáveis mudanças da vida, tornando-se mais ágeis, resilientes e atentos à própria intuição. "Munida de linguagem simples e acessível, Elaine Fox mostra de que forma a ciência psicológica pode ajudá-lo a ser ágil diante dos desafios e flexível em períodos de mudança. Apresentando relatos pessoais e o resultado de anos de pesquisa aplicados em treinamento de desempenho de elite, a autora mostra como adotar determinadas práticas pode transformar sua vida profundamente. Este é um livro cheio de percepções importantes." — Mark Williams, coautor do best-seller Atenção plena: Mindfulness — Como encontrar a paz em um mundo frenético

Masquerade

What is the key ingredient to a happy, successful life? There is no one-size-fits-all solution to dealing with life. Elaine Fox, one of the world's leading psychologists and performance coaches, has witnessed this time and again. In her work coaching top athletes, military leaders and business professionals, she has seen that it's the people who know how and when to switch between different approaches - people who have an agile mind - who achieve the best performance. Drawing on 25 years of scientific research, Fox shares with us her step-by-step guide to what she calls 'switchcraft': the set of skills we need to navigate a complex and uncertain world. Whether it's coping with a difficult boss, overcoming a fear, dealing with hyperactive children, resolving a dispute with a friend or making a difficult choice about where to live or what to do, switchcraft helps us thrive in any situation. Like your own personal life coach, Switchcraft shows you how to break out of a rigid mindset to restore your fulfilment, curiosity and zest for life.

How Agile Thinking Can Help You Adapt and Thrive

Ben je optimist of pessimist? Is het glas half vol of half leeg? Zul je slagen of falen?Dat zijn simpele vragen om te beantwoorden, omdat we ons eigen karakter goed genoeg kennen. Klinisch psycholoog Elaine Fox bewees met een baanbrekend onderzoek dat onze levenshouding afhangt van hoe je bent: Zoek je naar de leuke kanten van het leven of jaagt het leven je juist angst aan? Bij de meeste mensen is de balans tussen angst en plezier prima, maar een te grote hang naar plezier of een te alomvattende levensangst kan desastreus uitpakken.Gelukkig is er hoop. Elaine Fox bewijst met Het positieve brein dat levenslange zwartkijkers hun brein wel degelijk kunnen beïnvloeden door hun denkpatronen te trainen en op die manier neurologische verbindingen om te leiden naar een positiever en gelukkiger levenshouding. Ook adrenalineverslaafde kunnen hun eeuwige jacht op genot en plezier beter in de hand leren houden door de circuits in hun hersenen te herzien en te trainen.
