Dear Friends—Self-help—at its core—is about making positive changes. This season, we’re excited to offer several new books to help readers put a halt to the habits or beliefs that are holding them back. From eating right and accepting oneself to improving relationships, our books will empower readers to take charge and create a healthier and happier life.

The best thing about life is that big changes usually begin with small steps. In The Little Book of Big Change, readers will find a powerful new approach to overcoming bad habits based in neuroscience, rather than traditional willpower. The book explains how repeating certain behaviors—no matter how small—has the potential to actually rewire neural circuitry in the brain. Readers will also learn dozens of little things they can do every day to replace bad habits with positive ones.

Emotional overeating is a habit many of us are guilty of. In the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling Fifty Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food, eating expert Susan Albers presents Fifty More Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food, a treasure trove of even more mindful and healthy activities, such as aromatherapy, yoga, and breathing exercises, to help you resist the urge to overeat when feeling stressed out or sad. By slowing down during mealtime, readers will not only develop better eating habits, but will also learn to truly savor each bite.

Sometimes, negative thinking can be the most destructive habit of all. In today’s media-saturated world, women are faced with countless images of beauty and perfection. And often, women are their own worst critics when it comes to what they see in the mirror. In Fifty-Two Ways to Love Your Body, yoga instructor and author of Full Kimber Simpkins helps readers discover their own unique beauty so they can break the habit of self-criticism that keeps them from being truly happy.

These days, many of us are guilty of leading an overbooked, stressful life. And when we’re feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and rushed, it’s easier to find comfort in food or alcohol, spend empty hours on the Internet, or neglect the people we love. Marking a new addition to our Following Buddha series—which offers ancient wisdom for our modern world—How Would Buddha Act? shows us how to slow down, put a stop to unhealthy behaviors, and take meaningful steps toward true enlightenment.

As always, we thank you for supporting New Harbinger in our ongoing mission to provide powerful self-help books for those looking to improve their

well-being and their lives.

Sincerely,

—Matthew McKay, PhD, Publisher

■ 5.7 million adults in the us are affected by bipolar disorder in a given year. these individuals are at higher risk for diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

People with bipolar disorder are far more likely to die from obesity-related illnesses as a result of poor nutrition and poor lifestyle choices—but no one is talking about it. For the first time ever, this comprehensive workbook offers the proven-effective, Harvard-researched diet and lifestyle program made popular in the best-selling book Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy to help readers manage moods, lose weight, and thrive. When readers experience a manic or depressive episode, making healthy lifestyle choices is probably the last thing on their mind. That’s why The Wellness Workbook for Bipolar Disorder offers guidance to help readers implement healthy changes in daily life—one step at a time.

the Mindfulness-based emotional balance workbookAn Eight-Week Program for Improved Emotion Regulation and ResilienceMargaret cullen, Ma, MFt, and Gonzalo brito pons, phD

■ developed by Jon kabat-Zinn, Mbsr is an evidence-based program taught in hospitals nationwide.

When emotions become too intense, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Many people try to suppress strong emotions such as fear, anger, and resentment—which can end up causing a host of health problems, from a weakened immune system to heart disease. On the flipside, overreacting in the heat of the moment can be detrimental to relationships. This book offers a breakthrough, eight-week program using MBSR to help readers manage overwhelming emotions before they take a toll on health and relationships. Instead of suppressing emotions or overreacting, readers will learn how to achieve true, lasting emotional balance using this powerful, evidence-based therapy.

the Anxiety survival Guide for teensCBT Skills to Overcome Fear, Worry, and PanicJennifer shannon, lMFt

■ recent studies show that cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt) is highly effective for treating anxiety disorders in children and teens.

For teens, feeling independent is critical for building self-confidence. But for anxious teens, fears, worries, and rumination can stand in the way of achieving the developmental milestones that lead to independence—such as socializing, dating, academic success, or taking on more mature responsibilities. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), The Anxiety Survival Guide for Teens is an engaging, illustrated resource to help teens skillfully work through situations that cause anxiety so they can focus on their goals. By identifying their “monkey mind”—the part of their brain where anxious thoughts arise—teens will start to feel more independent, more confident, and ready to take on the world.

Jennifer shannon, LMFt, is author of The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook

for Teens, and clinical director and cofounder of the santa rosa center for cognitive-

behavioral therapy in santa rosa, ca.

the Panic workbook for teens Breaking the Cycle of Fear, Worry, and Panic AttacksDebra kissen, phD, bari Goldman cohen, phD, and kathi Fine abitbol, phD

■ Panic disorder often first appears in teens—making effective treatment for this age group a priority.

Panic attacks are scary and can make teens feel like they’ve lost control, leading to more anxiety, stress, fear, and depression. In The Panic Workbook for Teens, three anxiety specialists teach teens how to identify anxiety-causing thoughts and behaviors, mindfully observe their panic attacks instead of struggling against them, and experience sensations associated with panic until they learn that these sensations may be uncomfortable—but they are not dangerous. By learning how to observe their panic attacks, teens will gain a sense of control and learn to work through even the toughest moments of extreme anxiety.

At a time when society no longer imposes many sexual taboos, why is open marriage still considered beyond the pale? Wide Open is an enthusiastic, honest, and sometimes raw account of one woman’s experience living polyamorously within the context of her average American family. Gracie X—a suburban mother of two—has been married to her loving husband, Hank, for 25 years. The problem is that their once-vibrant sex life has shriveled to nothing. Meanwhile, she has fallen in love with another man. Frustrated and conflicted, but determined not to give up her hard-won homelife and wonderful husband, she is desperate for a creative solution. Can she somehow keep both men in her life without resorting to divorce or dishonesty?

In her candid and provocative memoir, Gracie X details the years she has spent exploring the “poly” lifestyle and creating her “chosen family.” Wide Open reveals— with humor, integrity, and heart—how she blended love, sex, and marriage in unconventional ways and found the fulfillment she was looking for.

Grieving for the sibling You LostA Teen’s Guide to Coping with Grief and Finding Meaning After Loss erica Goldblatt-hyatt, lcsW

■ Young people are often unequipped to deal with the emotions that intense grief can cause, and parents may be too overcome with their own grief to effectively help their teen cope.

Losing a loved one—at any age—is devastating, but if you’re a teen who has lost a sibling, this loss can feel even more so. Siblings are also lifetime playmates, confidants, role models, and friends. After losing a brother or sister, teens may feel like a part of themselves is missing. They may also feel lonely, depressed, and anxious. These are all normal reactions. But even though the pain feels unmanageable now, there are ways you can start to heal. Grieving for the Sibling You Lost will help teens understand their own unique coping style, and offers effective exercises based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help them work through negative thoughts and create meaning out of loss and suffering.

mental and physical health of transgender and gender nonconforming (tGnc) people

caring for a Loved One with dementiaA Mindfulness-Based Guide for Reducing Stress and Making the Best of Your Journey Together Marguerite Manteau-rao, MsW, lcsW

■ in 2013, over fifteen million people in the us cared for a loved one with dementia. that number is expected to triple by the year 2050.

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be extremely stressful. This essential guide provides skills for dealing with the accompanying emotional and physical stress, and offers tools to help caregivers manage their own needs, in addition to the needs of their loved one. Dementia is a cruel disease that can leave the sufferer—and those who care about him or her—reeling. But in the midst of the pain, the mindfulness practices in this book will help readers find strength and meaning in each moment they spend with their loved one.

Marguerite Manteau-rao, Msw, Lcsw, is a licensed clinical social worker and

registered art therapist specializing in bringing new, innovative solutions to the field of

dementia care. Manteau-rao resides in palo alto, ca.

the Heart of the FightA Couple’s Guide to Fifteen Common Fights, What They Really Mean, and How They Can Bring You CloserJudith Wright, edD, and bob Wright, edD

■ 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. Arguing is one of the top reasons for divorce in the us.

In the midst of a disagreement, many couples may ask themselves, “What are we really fighting about?” As it turns out, breakups and divorce don’t happen because couples fight they happen because of how couples fight. In this much-needed book, Judith and Bob Wright—married counselors and coaches with over thirty years of experience helping couples learn how to fight well—present their tried and true methods for exploring the emotions that underlie many relationship fights. Readers will learn how to use disagreements as opportunities to deepen their understanding of their partner, increase intimacy, and strengthen their bond.

Judith wright, edd, is a world-class couples and lifestyle coach, inspirational

speaker, lifestyle expert, and corporate consultant. she is an award-winning coauthor of

Transformed! and best-selling author of There Must Be More Than This. bob wright, edd, is an internationally recognized visionary, speaker, educator, consultant, coach, and

best-selling author. he cofounded the Wright institute with Judith to teach people to de-

velop their vision and fulfill their dreams. the Wrights reside in chicago, ill.

the worry trickHow Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About ItDavid a carbonell, phD

■ this is the first book to examine anxiety as a trick the mind plays on itself—rather than as a pathology.

Are you truly in danger, or has your brain simply “tricked” you into thinking you are? In The Worry Trick, psychologist and anxiety expert David Carbonell shows how anxiety hijacks the brain, and offers effective techniques based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help readers break the cycle of worry—once and for all. Anxiety can often play subtle tricks to convince us of something that is not true. This book helps readers understand this so they can observe anxious feelings with distance and clarity.

david A. carbonell, Phd, is a clinical psychologist who specializes in the treat-

ment of anxiety disorders. he is the “coach” at anxietycoach.com, and is author of panic
