Clinical psychologist Dr. Diana Hill offers a method to reclaim your energy and revitalize your relationships, health, work, and community.\n \nInstead of more productivity tips, Dr. Hill invites us to use Wise Effort to connect with our \"genius energy\": our unique and inherent strengths that show up in our talents and gifts. It propels you forward when used in the right amount and toward your values. \n \nWhen we misdirect this energy, our very genius becomes our problem. Think of the super-helper who supports everyone else but doesn't help themself, or the high achiever at work whose patterns backfire in relationships. Misguiding your energy burns you out and leaves you depleted. Understanding and working wisely with your genius energy empowers you to reclaim it as a life-giving force.\n \nIntegrating science-backed practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with contemplative and body-based wisdom, you will learn how to guide your genius energy wisely in multiple areas of your life. You will get curious about what's keeping you stuck, open up to the difficult thoughts and feelings that limit you, and focus your energy where it matters most. With the Wise Effort method, the genius at the root of your problems becomes your solution to feeling connected, brave, and truly alive.","brand":"Gardners Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46978540896492,"sku":"9781649633361","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9066363482775.jpg?v=1762897096"},{"product_id":"i-know-i-should-exercise-but-by-katy-bowman-9781943370313","title":"I Know I Should Exercise, But...","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'The most insightful guide to getting moving I've ever read.'
