Over 100,000 copies sold! In the wise and soulful tradition of teachers like Shauna Niequist and Brene Brown, therapist Aundi Kolber debuts with Try Softer helping us align our mind, body, and soul to live the life God created for us. In a world that preaches a "try harder" gospel―just keep going, keep hustling, keep pretending we're all fine―we're left exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and numb to our lives. If we're honest, we've been overfunctioning and hurtling toward burnout for so long, we can't even imagine another way. How else will things get done? How else will we survive? It doesn't have to be this way. Aundi Kolber believes we don't have to white-knuckle our way through life, stuck in survival mode and stressed. In her debut book, Try Softer, she'll show us how God specifically designed our bodies and minds to work together to process our stories and work through obstacles. Through the latest psychology, practical clinical exercises, and her own personal story, Aundi equips and empowers us to connect us to our truest self and truly live. This is the "try softer" life. In Try Softer you'll learn how to: Know and set emotional and relational boundaries Make sense of the difficult experiences you've had Identify your attachment style―and how that affects your relationships today Move through emotions rather than get stuck by them Grow in self-compassion and talk back to your inner critic Trying softer is sacred work. And while the healing journey won't be perfect or easy, it will be worth it. Because this is what we were made for: a living, breathing, moving, feeling, connected, beautifully incarnational life.

"Start from Joy is a proven recipe for living a life that matters." --Beth and Jeff McCord, founders of Your Enneagram Coach Breaking old patterns doesn't have to be so hard. You've heard it before: if you want to change, you have to try harder. Keep pushing through blood, sweat, and tears. Emotions don't matter. But what if that's all a lie?

Building on biblical insights and the latest findings in positive psychology, Start from Joy outlines an emotionally healthy approach to change--one where joy leads the way. This doesn't mean we choose happiness, become blindly optimistic, or force ourselves to have a positive mindset. Instead, we discover that real, lasting transformation can come free of shame, guilt, and fear. It can be fun. In Start from Joy, you'll discover: Why your bad habits are keeping you stuck--and how you can take steps toward freedom and positive change How the four gifts of joy can help you stick with healthy patterns How to heal your relationships with work, money, your body, and other people Leave shame, guilt, and fear behind--and create the fulfilling life you were always meant to live.

Parenting is like rafting down a beautiful, rushing mountain river that is never the same, always changing. Just as I could not imagine white-water rafting without a guide, neither can I imagine parenting without Jesus. Only He knows how to take each parent down each unique river. Only He knows His passengers intimately, and only He is there at all times to offer guidance on everything from discipline and sibling conflict, to facing weaknesses and fears. This account of both the inspirational and practical parenting help I received as I cried out to Jesus is written to encourage others to invite Him into their rafts and be their guide for every aspect of their journey down the exhilarating river of parenting.
