Kelly McGonigal

The author of The Willpower Instinct delivers a controversial and groundbreaking new book that overturns long-held beliefs about stress. More than forty-four percent of Americans admit to losing sleep over stress. And while most of us do everything we can to reduce it, Stanford psychologist and bestselling author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., delivers a startling message: Stress isn’t bad. In The Upside of Stress, McGonigal highlights new research indicating that stress can, in fact, make us stronger, smarter, and happier—if we learn how to embrace it. The Upside of Stress is the first book to bring together cutting-edge discoveries on the correlation between resilience—the human capacity for stress-related growth—and mind-set, the power of beliefs to shape reality. As she did in The Willpower Instinct, McGonigal combines science, stories, and exercises into an engaging and practical book that is both entertaining and life-changing, showing you:how to cultivate a mind-set to embrace stresshow stress can provide focus and energyhow stress can help people connect and strengthen close relationshipswhy your brain is built to learn from stress, and how to increase its ability to learn from challenging experiences McGonigal’s TED talk on the subject has already received more than 7 million views. Her message resonates with people who know they can’t eliminate the stress in their lives and want to learn to take advantage of it. The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a guide to getting better at stress, by understanding it, embracing it, and using it.

Based on Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal's wildly popular course "The Science of Willpower," The Willpower Instinct is the first book to explain the science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity .Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, The Willpower Instinct explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters. For example, readers will • Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. • Willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health. • Temptation and stress hijack the brain's systems of self-control, but the brain can be trained for greater willpower • Guilt and shame over your setbacks lead to giving in again, but self-forgiveness and self-compassion boost self-control. • Giving up control is sometimes the only way to gain self-control. • Willpower failures are contagious—you can catch the desire to overspend or overeat from your friends­­—but you can also catch self-control from the right role models.In the groundbreaking tradition of Getting Things Done, The Willpower Instinct combines life-changing prescriptive advice and complementary exercises to help readers with goals ranging from losing weight to more patient parenting, less procrastination, better health, and greater productivity at work.

The bestselling author of The Willpower Instinct introduces a surprising science-based book that doesn't tell us why we should exercise but instead shows us how to fall in love with movement. Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But, as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy.Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and mastery--and why it is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.McGonigal tells the stories of people who have found fulfillment and belonging through running, walking, dancing, swimming, weightlifting, and more, with examples that span the globe, from Tanzania, where one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on the planet live, to a dance class at Juilliard for people with Parkinson's disease, to the streets of London, where volunteers combine fitness and community service, to races in the remote wilderness, where athletes push the limits of what a human can endure. Along the way, McGonigal paints a portrait of human nature that highlights our capacity for hope, cooperation, and self-transcendence.The result is a revolutionary narrative that goes beyond familiar arguments in favor of exercise, to illustrate why movement is integral to both our happiness and our humanity. Readers will learn what they can do in their own lives and communities to harness the power of movement to create happiness, meaning, and connection.

It's no secret that yoga increases muscular flexibility and strength, but you may not know that yoga is a proven treatment for back pain, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other chronic pain conditions. Yoga also helps to ease the stress, anxiety, and depression that can create and reinforce pain, making you feel more comfortable in both your mind and your body. Written by a yoga instructor and former chronic pain sufferer, Yoga for Pain Relief is packed with gentle postures and practical strategies for ending pain. This complete mind-body tool kit for healing also includes deep relaxation practices drawn from the yogic tradition and psychological techniques for helping you make peace with your body and dissolve pain. As the ancient practice of yoga releases the hold that chronic pain has over your life, you will begin to feel more like yourself again.

Breakthrough Science and Practical Tools for Cultivating CompassionWhy is compassion so powerful? Like many forms of spirituality and meditation, compassion practice has been shown by research to enhance your health, psychological well-being, relationships, and sense of purpose. "The unique quality of compassion," teaches Dr. Kelly McGonigal, "is that its benefits extend to the one who offers it, the one who receives it, and all those who witness compassion in action." With The Science of Compassion, this acclaimed researcher presents a practical workshop to help you understand what makes compassion work―and how you can cultivate it in your life.The Power of Choosing CompassionCompassion can be a difficult choice to make―after all, why would we deliberately choose to add another person’s pain to our own? "Not only does our compassion ease the suffering of others," teaches Dr. McGonigal, "Our brain, heart, and entire physiology are tuned to support us when we make the courageous decision to be compassionate." In this seven-hour training intensive, she provides invaluable tools and guidance for overcoming emotional fatigue, empathic distress, self-judgment, and other obstacles that can keep us closed down and afraid to reach out."Compassion is an embodied state that prepares us to take positive action," says Dr. McGonigal.

What if joy isn't something you have to wait for, but something you can choose? In this paradigm-shifting book, bestselling author and renowned psychologist Kelly McGonigal reveals why joy is one of our core existential resources. Research shows that joy gives life meaning, and helps us feel hope and closeness to others. But in spite of its clear benefits, there is a tension underlying our experience of joy. We may resist joy because it feels like a warning that something bad is going to happen next. Or, we may not let ourselves embrace a moment of uplift because it feels frivolous or too fleeting to trust.Weaving together personal storytelling with insights from psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, McGonigal offers tangible ways we can overcome these obstacles. You'll - The three main functions of joy and how it works in the brain- The joyful experiences that light you up- How to counteract joy dampening, or our tendency to avoid positive emotions- 20 "joy experiments" you can begin implementing into your life todayJoy is a spark people feel in small moments, but its powerful effects are long. McGonigal offers practical ways we can shift our focus toward creating joy, savouring it, sharing it, and celebrating it.

A autora do best-seller Os Desafios à Força de Vontade apresenta um livro surpreendente, com base científica, no qual não nos diz que deveríamos nos exercitar, mas, sim, como nos apaixonamos pelo movimento.O exercício é benéfico para a saúde e aumenta a expectativa de vida, mas muitos de nós ainda consideramos ser uma obrigação. E, como revela Kelly McGonigal, não precisa ser. O movimento pode e deve ser uma fonte de prazer e alegria.Por meio de sua marca registrada, que é misturar ciência com a arte de contar histórias, McGonigal usa o conhecimento da neurociência, da psicologia, da antropologia e da biologia evolucionária, como também autobiografias, etnografias e filosofia. Ela mostra como o movimento está interligado a alguns dos prazeres humanos mais básicos, incluindo a autoexpressão, a conexão social e o controle ? e por que ele é um poderoso antídoto para as epidemias modernas de depressão, ansiedade e solidão.O resultado é uma narrativa revolucionária que vai além dos argumentos comuns em favor do exercício para ilustrar por que o movimento é essencial tanto para nossa felicidade quanto para nossa humanidade. Os leitores aprenderão o que fazer em sua vida e em suas comunidades a fim de aproveitar o poder do movimento para criar felicidade, propósito e conexão.

Ngay trong lời mở đâu, tác giả đã chia sẻ: "Bất cứ khi nào tôi nói rằng tôi đang giảng dạy một khóa học về ý chí, sự hưởng ứng phổ biến luôn là, “Ồ, đó chính là thứ tôi cần.”Hơn bao giờ hết, ngày nay người ta nhận thấy rằng ý chí - khả năng kiểm soát sự tập trung, cảm xúc và ước muốn - ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe vật chất, an ninh tài chính và sự thành công trong sự nghiệp của họ. Tất cả chúng ta đều biết rõ điều này. Rằng chúng ta tưởng mình có thể kiểm soát được tất cả các khía cạnh trong cuộc sống, từ việc ăn gì, đến làm gì, nói gì và mua gì. Ấy vậy mà, hầu hết mọi người đều cảm nhận được sự thất bại của ý chí - mới phút trước ta nắm tầm kiểm soát, nhưng chốc lát sau lại bị lấn át và mất kiểm soát.Theo Hiệp hội Tâm lý học Hoa Kỳ, người Mĩ coi sự thiếu ý chí là nguyên nhân số một khiến họ phải đấu tranh vất vả để đạt được mục tiêu. Rất nhiều người cảm thấy có lỗi khi khiến chính mình và người khác thất vọng. Những người khác lại phó mặc cho ý nghĩ, cảm xúc và khao khát của chính mình, bởi cuộc sống của họ được đưa đẩy bởi sự thôi thúc hơn là những lựa chọn có ý thức. Ngay cả người có-khả-năng-kiểm-soát-tốt-nhất cũng cảm thấy kiệt sức khi lúc nào cũng phải kiểm soát mọi thứ và họ tự hỏi, không lẽ nào cuộc sống lại là một cuộc chiến cam go đến vậy.Sau nhiều năm quan sát mọi người phải vất vả đấu tranh để thay đổi suy nghĩ, cảm xúc, dáng dấp và thói quen, tác giả nhận thấy rất nhiều người đặt niềm tin vào ý chí đã ngầm phá hoại sự thành công của chính bản thân họ và tạo ra những mối căng thẳng không cần thiết. Mặc dù các nghiên cứu khoa học cho thấy tin vào ý chí có thể giúp ích cho họ, nhưng rõ ràng đông đảo công chúng chưa hiểu rõ điều này. Họ tiếp tục trông cậy vào những chiến lược không-hiệu-quả để có được sự tự chủ. Các chiến lược mà mọi người áp dụng nhiều khi không chỉ vô hiệu mà còn gây phản tác dụng, dẫn đến sự ngầm hủy hoại và mất kiểm soát. Đó là lí do khiến tác giả xây dựng khóa học “Khoa học Ý chí” dành cho toàn bộ công chúng thông qua chương trình Khóa học Nâng cao của Trường Đại học Standford. Cuốn sách này là sự kết hợp của những phát hiện khoa học tốt nhất và các bài học thực tế từ khóa học, vận dụng các nghiên cứu mới nhất và vốn hiểu biết thu nhận được từ hàng trăm học viên tham gia khóa học.

"Por primera vez, un libro responde de forma clara, útil y contundente a una de las preguntas que más nos torturan a ¿por qué cuesta tanto poner en práctica lo que uno se propone? En un ensayo único en su género, la psicóloga Kelly McGonigal expone por primera vez qué es la fuerza de voluntad, cómo funciona y por qué influye tanto en la salud, la felicidad y la productividad. Basándose en los últimos hallazgos científicos en materia de psicología, neurociencia y medicina, McGonigal niega que el autocontrol sea una virtud, como tendemos a creer; la fuerza de voluntad es una función biológica que se puede mejorar mediante aspectos que van desde la nutrición hasta el sueño o la presencia. Poniendo en práctica sus ejercicios y estrategias, los lectores no solo aumentarán la capacidad del cerebro para llevar a cabo sus propósitos sino que alcanzarán con facilidad objetivos que habían acabado por considerar inalcanzables. Un libro práctico, riguroso y transformador, cuya lectura no se debe dejar para mañana. . "
