How to Keep House While Drowning - KC Davis Cover Art

How to Keep House While Drowning

How to Keep House While Drowning A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis

An NPR Best Book of the Year | USA TODAY Bestseller This revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing helps free you from feeling ashamed or overwhelmed by a messy home. If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as “I can never keep up” and a chaotic kitchen as “I’m a bad mother.” Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, “I am alive,” and at stacks of dishes and thought, “I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row.” Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you’ll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: -How to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth. -How to start by setting priorities. -How to stagger tasks so you won’t procrastinate. -How to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine. -How to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional. With KC’s help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren’t finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here.

Being a Dog - Alexandra Horowitz Cover Art

Being a Dog

Being a Dog Following the Dog Into a World of Smell by Alexandra Horowitz

From the #1 bestselling author of Inside of a Dog and The Year of the Puppy —“an incredible journey into the olfactory world of man’s best friend” ( O, The Oprah Magazine ), Alexandra Horowitz’s follow-up to her New York Times bestseller explains how dogs experience the world through their most spectacular organ—the nose. In her “fascinating book…Horowitz combines the expertise of a scientist with an easy, lively writing style” ( The New York Times Book Review ) as she imagines what it is like to be a dog. Guided by her own dogs, Finnegan and Upton, Horowitz sets off on a quest through the cutting-edge science behind the olfactory abilities of the dog. In addition to speaking to cognitive researchers and smell experts, Horowitz visits scent detection dog trainers and training centers; she meets researchers working with dogs to detect cancerous cells and anticipate epileptic seizure or diabetic shock; and she even attempts to smell-train her own nose. As we come to understand how rich, complex, and exciting the world around us is to the canine nose, Horowitz changes our perspective on dogs forever. Readers will finish this book feeling that they have broken free of their human constraints and understanding smell as never before; that they have, for however fleetingly, been a dog. And, as The Boston Globe says about Being a Dog , “becoming more doglike, not surprisingly, can make anyone’s life a little more vivid.”

What the Dog Knows - Cat Warren Cover Art

What the Dog Knows

What the Dog Knows The Science and Wonder of Working Dogs by Cat Warren

A firsthand exploration of the extraordinary abilities and surprising, sometimes life-saving talents of “working dogs”—pups who can sniff out drugs, find explosives, even locate the dead—as told through the experiences of a journalist and her intrepid canine companion, which The New York Times calls “a fascinating, deeply reported journey into the…amazing things dogs can do with their noses.” There are thousands of working dogs all over the US and beyond with incredible abilities—they can find missing people, detect drugs and bombs, pinpoint unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers, or even find drowning victims more than two hundred feet below the surface of a lake. These abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but author Cat Warren shows the science, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie these creatures’ amazing abilities. Cat Warren is a university professor and journalist who had tried everything she could think of to harness her dog Solo’s boundless energy and enthusiasm…until a behavior coach suggested she try training him to be a “working dog.” What started out as a hobby soon became a calling, as Warren was introduced to the hidden universe of dogs who do this essential work and the handlers who train them. Her dog Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it, but he’s only one of many astounding dogs in a varied field. Warren interviews cognitive psychologists, historians, medical examiners, epidemiologists, and forensic anthropologists, as well as the breeders, trainers, and handlers who work with and rely on these intelligent and adaptable animals daily. Along the way, Warren discovers story after story that prove the capabilities—as well as the very real limits—of working dogs and their human partners. Clear-eyed and unsentimental, Warren explains why our partnership with working dogs is woven into the fabric of society, and why we keep finding new uses for the wonderful noses of our four-legged friends.

Pushing Through Fear - Paulette Clark Cover Art

Pushing Through Fear

Pushing Through Fear Why Hiding Uncertainty Makes Horses Feel Unsafe by Paulette Clark

This book brings you into a moment many people recognise with their horse — the moment where nothing obvious is wrong, yet something inside you tightens. Your body becomes alert. Your attention sharpens. You carry on, whether you call it fear or not, because you believe you’re being sensible, responsible, and doing the right thing. Pushing Through Fear explores a pattern that is deeply normalised in the horse world. Sometimes it shows up as fear. Sometimes it shows up as vigilance, control, or determination. Often it looks like good horsemanship — staying steady, pushing on, not letting uncertainty get in the way. And just as often, the same logic is applied to the horse: encouraging them forward, asking them to cope, expecting them to push through discomfort in the name of progress or training. Rather than focusing on dramatic reactions or obvious anxiety, this book examines the everyday habit of overriding — overriding tension, hesitation, or unease in yourself, and asking the horse to do the same. It shows how this well-intentioned approach shapes the horse’s experience long before any behaviour becomes a problem, and why improvement or compliance doesn’t mean the tension is gone. Through grounded, real-life examples, Pushing Through Fear reveals why insight alone doesn’t undo this pattern, why trying harder often deepens it, and why both humans and horses can appear to cope while still carrying unresolved stress. This book is for people who care deeply about their horses and sense that something in the relationship never truly settles — even when things seem to be going well. It offers a clear, honest way of seeing what’s been shaping the relationship beneath the surface, and why meaningful change begins not with more effort, but with recognising the cost of pushing through — for both of you.

Your Dog Is Your Mirror - Kevin Behan Cover Art

Your Dog Is Your Mirror

Your Dog Is Your Mirror The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs and Ourselves by Kevin Behan

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror , dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels . And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined — by heart — and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.
