Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book
By Carlye Adler, Dan Harris, Jeffrey Warren. 2017
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir 10% Happier, this book will get you to meditate.…
Minus the pan flutes. “If you’re like many people, you’re intrigued by the promise of meditation but don’t know how to begin—or you’ve benefited from meditation in the past but need help to get started again. If so, Dan Harris has written the book for you.”—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Four Tendencies and The Happiness Project ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word “namaste” without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation’s most vocal public proponents. Here’s what he’s fixated on now: Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. And yet there are millions of people who want to meditate but aren’t actually practicing. What’s holding them back? In Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, Harris and his friend Jeff Warren, a masterful teacher and “Meditation MacGyver,” embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating. They rent a rock-star tour bus (whose previous occupants were Parliament Funkadelic) and travel across eighteen states, talking to scores of would-be meditators—including parents, military cadets, police officers, and even a few celebrities. They create a taxonomy of the most common issues (“I suck at this,” “I don’t have the time,” etc.) and offer up science-based life hacks to help people overcome them. The book is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions. You’ll also get access to the 10% Happier app, where you can listen for free to guided audio versions of all the meditations in the book. Amid it all unspools the strange and hilarious story of what happens when a congenitally sarcastic, type-A journalist and a groovy Canadian mystic embark on an epic road trip into America’s neurotic underbelly, as well as their own.9 Days to Feel Fantastic: How To Create Happiness From The Inside Out

By Jessica Ortner. 2018
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence, the latest book…
in the Tapping Solution series uses EFT as a tool for finding the clarity and the ease you need to navigate change.Why do we fear the unknown so intensely that we're willing to shy away from our deepest desires and settle for playing small? Why do we get enthused when we first start something, only to burn out the moment things feel challenging? Why does getting what we want sometimes feel just as scary as not getting what we want? And why, even with new outcomes we desire, do we often struggle to sustain them and instead slip back into old, self-sabotaging patterns?Jessica Ortner asked herself these question--as many of us do--until eventually it became clear that she was really exploring our relationship with the one unavoidable constant in our lives: change. Her new book, the latest in the best-selling Tapping Solution series, shares the lessons she's learned about what it feels like to flow through change and how to create positive, lasting change in ways that feel both authentic and empowering. Ultimately, Jessica tells us, there's profound beauty and joy in change, even when it doesn't feel that way at the start. Readers will learn how to use Tapping (also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT) to navigate the unknown with new energy, hope, and an open heart. Topics include: * Finding our way through fear and uncertainty * Discerning whether our inner critical voice is friend or foe * Learning to release the doubts and fears that cloud our judgment * Getting past procrastination * Letting go of "goals" and finding a new way to focus on what you desire * And much moreFirst in Peace

By Daisaku Ikeda. 2017
What do we do when we’ve lost all hope? Is hope something found or something made? What can one person…
do against the vast forces that run our world? How do we remain optimistic when the world seems to be falling apart around us? Renowned Buddhist thinker and peace activist Daisaku Ikeda has spent his life wrestling with essential questions such as these. In these intimate essays—selected from more than forty years of his works—he shares his inspirational journey to find answers and hope in troubled times. Growing up a “child of war,” Ikeda shares vivid stories that lie at the root of his lifelong dedication to creating peace: his homes burning down during the Tokyo fire bombings of World War II, his eldest brother’s death on the frontlines in Burma, his encounter with an American airman who parachuted into his neighborhood after his B29 was shot down. Ikeda’s incisive commentaries on terrorism, good and evil, aging and death give us new perspectives on approaching the world with hope. Lyrical reflections on poetry and friendship highlight how such spiritual pursuits are the wellsprings hope in dark times. Each essay suggests ways in which each of us can connect our personal search for strength, wisdom, and hope to the collective desire to bring about a just, humane, and caring society. In Hope Is a Decision, Daisaku Ikeda invites us to dig deeper into our own lives so that we can change the world around us.Brand New You: Applying The Secrets Of Branding To Your Career, Business And Life
