Letting Go and Liking It

Peace of mind is a place where few reside. It is where you can trust more and worry less, compare yourself to no one, love and accept yourself, forgive the pain from the past and grow from your losses. Filled with carefully crafted thoughts, suggestions and uplifting quotes, Finding Peace asks you to contemplate how deeply you believe in these four affirmations, which form the foundation for inner peace: Faith: I find comfort and support in my beliefs. Other-directedness: I seek to understand rather than be understood. Loss: I have experienced loss in many ways. It has enriched my soul and softened my heart. Finding Peace is for everyone looking to feel more comfortable with themselves and their situations.

Pull Yourself Up by Your Bra Straps And Other Quacker Wisdom

Jeanne Bice is funny, vivacious, and larger than life. She's also a self-made woman. Ten years ago, when she began selling her line of "Quacker Factory" brand clothing on QVC, she barely had two pennies to rub together. But from the moment she hit the airwaves, she became one of the network's most popular guests. While her sparkly, whimsical sweaters drew raves, viewers really tuned in for Jeanne herself--for her wit and wisdom, and for her inspiring story of pulling herself up--well, by her bra straps. Now Jeanne has compiled her signature stories and the lessons she's learned into a quirky, quacky book that will resonate with her fans--thousands of women who call themselves "Quackers" and greet one another by saying, "Quack, quack, quack!"

Each chapter is a colorful lesson told in Jeanne's folksy, endearing voice, with advice like "If you can't lose it, decorate it!" and "Take a leap--and grow your wings on the way down." Reading these stories will lift your spirits, bring a smile to your face, and empower you to make your dreams come true.

Gretchen Rubin

Sat on the shelf slight discoloration on pages from aging

Virginia

Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. "The days are long, but the years are short," she realized. "Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter." In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project. In this lively and compelling account of that year, Rubin carves out her place alongside the authors of bestselling memoirs such as Julie and Julia, The Year of Living Biblically, and Eat, Pray, Love. With humor and insight, she chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Rubin didn't have the option to uproot herself, nor did she really want to; instead she focused on improving her life as it was. Each month she tackled a new set of resolutions: give proofs of love, ask for help, find more fun, keep a gratitude notebook, forget about results. She immersed herself in principles set forth by all manner of experts, from Epicurus to Thoreau to Oprah to Martin Seligman to the Dalai Lama to see what worked for her—and what didn't. Her conclusions are sometimes surprising—she finds that money can buy happiness, when spent wisely; that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that "treating" yourself can make you feel worse; that venting bad feelings doesn't relieve them; that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference—and they range from the practical to the profound. Written with charm and wit, The Happiness Project is illuminating yet entertaining, thought-provoking yet compulsively readable. Gretchen Rubin's passion for her subject jumps off the page, and reading just a few chapters of this book will inspire you to start your own happiness project.

Step-By-Step Advice for Escaping the Trap of Negative Thinking and Taking Control of Your Life

From the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Pulling Your Own Strings, positive and practical advice for breaking free from the trap of negative thinking and enjoying life to the fullest. If you're plagued by guilt or worry and find yourself unwittingly falling into the same old self-destructive patterns, then you have "erroneous zones"--whole facets of your approach to life that act as barriers to your success and happiness. If you believe that you have no control over your feelings and reactions, you give up the many choices that are available to you. Dyer shows how you can take charge of yourself and manage how much you will let difficult times--and people--affect you. If you spend more time worrying what others think than working on what you want and need, you will always be disappointed. Dyer shows that only you can make yourself happy and points the way to true self-reliance. If you are still caught up in old labels for yourself and an out-of-date self-image, you cancel out your present potential. Dyer shows how you can break out of the patterns of the post to become fulfilled in the present. If you depend upon others for your well-being, you lose yourself. Dyer shows how to take control of your own needs and learn to give and receive love without limits.

Michelle Obama

Overcoming in Uncertain Times

In an inspiring follow-up to her critically acclaimed, #1 bestselling memoir Becoming, former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today's highly uncertain world.
 
There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life's big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?
 
Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles--the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become." She details her most valuable practices, like "starting kind," "going high," and assembling a "kitchen table" of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.
 
"When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it," writes Michelle Obama. A rewarding blend of powerful stories and profound advice that will ignite conversation, The Light We Carry inspires readers to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.
