    Happy, Okay? : Poems about Anxiety, Depression, Hope, and Survival by M.J. Fievre - Paperback

    Confront Depression, Anxiety, Grief, and Loss Through Poetry

    Are the usual depression books helping you find a path to healing? No? Try this poetry collection especially for those dealing with mental illness and for people closest to them.

    Happy, Okay? is a beautifully written meditation filled with poignant and lyrical revelations on the joys, pains, and complications of life and the daily struggle to survive, create, and love.ӉۥEdwidge Danticat, internationally acclaimed Haitian-American novelist and short story writer

    Create hope for the future. Paloma is faking it. On the outside, she’s A-Okay. She’s electrified at work, there is a cadence in her step as she walks her dog, she posts memes on Facebook, and she keeps up with most relationships. Looks can be deceiving, however. Inside, Paloma is just going through the motions, and she feels like things are spiraling out of control. But when things are at their darkest, dawn arrives with clarity and focus, and with it, healing. Paloma learns to value small glimmering moments of joy rather than searching for constant happiness, thus building hope for her future.

    A manifesto for life. Happy, Okay?: Poems about Anxiety, Depression, Hope, and Survival is not simply a narrative spun in verse by a masterful poet. It is an invitation to readers to shake off the stigma and silence of mental illness and find strength in the only voice that matters: your own. It can be an electric roadmap to healing and a manifesto for wholeness.

    In this inspiring and heartwarming book, you will:

    • Understand how to make happiness a decision, even when you don’t feel it in your bones
    • Find out how to exercise patience and self-acceptance
    • Attract hope and purpose back into your life


    Fans of Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, The Witch Doesn’t Burn in this One by Amanda Lovelace, Depression & Other Magic Tricks by Sabrina Benaim, Our Numbered Days by Neil Hilborn, or Nothing is Okay by Rachel Wiley will love Happy, Okay? by M.J. Fievre.

    You’re about to discover how to deal with difficult people in your life. While the rest of this book will be covering specific situations and ways to deal with difficult people, there is one critical thing that must be included first, and that is your responsibility in any situation. Relationships with toxic people can be detrimental to your well-being, and you have to be proactive in ensuring that you know what to do if you ever were to meet one. The purpose of this book is to do more than just identify one of two types of difficult persons you can meet in the workplace. It also reveals the characteristics of these kinds of people along with providing you with valuable tips on what you can do to manage these unforeseen relationships.Life is one of the most precious gifts that we will ever come to own. How you choose to live it is entirely up to you; however, there is nothing wrong with getting a little bit of advice from time to time on what you can do to make the journey a tad bit easier. That is where this book comes in.

    I am here to help you to manage something that everyone will deal with at some point in their life: difficult people. Before I can go any further, we have a few things that we have to get out of the way first. There are a lot of ways to define a difficult person for the simple fact that there are so many different types of difficult people out there. For simplicity's sake, we will begin by starting with a working definition that works for all of them. A difficult person is someone who has the potential to impact both you and your livelihood negatively. In other words, it’s a person that is utterly bad for you. The reason that a difficult person is so dangerous is that often they are not readily recognized as being very toxic. You could go days, months, or even years with associating with these type of toxic people and never even know how much damage that they are causing in your life. Luckily, this is where this book will be most helpful. To protect yourself from a toxic person, you have to be able to know one when you see one. There are always signs. It’s just a point of being able to identify them. Pull up a chair, because I’m quite sure that some of these descriptions will hit home for you.I'm sure my book will guide you through your life and your path.

    The Wisdom of Oz : Personal Accountability for Success by Roger Connors & Tom Smith - Hardcover

    Why does the story of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion touch us? Like all great entertainment, their journey resonates. We see ourselves in the characters and likewise wish we possessed the power, the brains, the heart, and the courage to make our own dreams come true.

    So what are your dreams? What do you want? Is it a promotion? Improving a relationship? Rescuing a child? Finding a new job? Saving a marriage? Getting a degree? Finding the love of your life? Making a difference in your community? This book will help you get whatever you consider worthwhile in life.
    Simply put, when you unleash the power of personal accountability it will energize you in lifealtering ways, giving you a concrete boost that enhances your ability to think, to withstand adversity, to generate confidence, and to increase your own natural emotional, mental, and intellectual strength. Roger Connors and Tom Smith know this because they’ve seen it work in their own lives and witnessed it in the lives of some of the most successful and influential people in the world.
    The authors first introduced this powerful accountability philosophy in the New York Times bestseller The Oz Principle. Since then, millions have come to know them as “The Oz Guys” and they have gone on to help leaders all over the world teach and apply the principles you’re about to learn. Principles that have generated billions of dollars of wealth—along with a host of even more important results. Devotees of The Oz Principle have brought lifesaving medications to market, created better education in community colleges, greatly surpassed charity fund-raising goals, and improved medical practices in battlefield hospitals.

    In The Wisdom of Oz, Connors and Smith present the practical and powerful principles of personal accountability in simple, down-to-earth terms that you can apply in your homes, schools, communities, churches, and volunteer groups. The book will help you strengthen family relationships, improve friendships, motivate children, increase value on the job, improve health and financial well-being, or achieve whatever it is you most desire.

    Drawing on engaging stories about those who have overcome great odds—including South African president Nelson Mandela, Polish WWII hero Irena Sendler, and everyday men and women—Connors and Smith demonstrate that by taking personal ownership of your goals and accepting responsibility for your performance, you also take control of your success.

    You will read stories about people just like you who learned to beat their struggles, like the New York area fisherman who fell off his lobster boat and was adrift at sea for twelve hours in the chilly Atlantic . . . but survived. You will learn the traits that allowed a college senior who landed flat on her face in a 600-meter race to jump up and win. Or a thirteen-year-old soccer player who moved from the bench to the starting lineup.

    You will discover that while no one will ever wave a wizard’s wand and magically solve all your problems, there is a way to experience the near magical impact of personal accountability.

    The Road to Happiness by Gyonpo Tshering - Paperback

    With clear, simple prose, and poetic turns of phrase, this inspirational collection of quotations reflects the unique country of Bhutan and its universal embrace of compassion, understanding, and kindness. Some of the quotes are also a bit quirky and funny—why not? After all, this remarkable little kingdom in the Eastern Himalayas just may hold the secret to lifelong happiness. Renowned for their government edict that “gross national happiness is more important than gross national product,” the Bhutanese grounding in Buddhist ideals suggests that material and spiritual development should occur side by side—something we can forget too often. So dive into this inspiring collection of wisdom, proverbs, and general sage advice to help you on your own road to happiness—or at least put a smile on your face.

    Although, as the Bhutanese saying goes,

    You don’t have to smile if you are pleased, nor do you have to frown if you are displeased. People who do this don’t get so many wrinkles!

    One dream cannot rest on two pillows.

    Evil words are like poisonous flowers. Evil actions are like poisonous roots.

    It is more important to have good teeth in your head than a hat which fits properly on it.

    Just as there are green fertile pastures and barren plains, the same is true for the territory of the heart and mind.

    If you take the jungle away from a free, roaming snow leopard it will feel like a poor street dog.

    So give the gift of happiness today!

Breath by breath, moment by moment, Richmond’s teachings inspire limitless opportunities for a joy that transcends age.

    The Grace in Aging : Awaken as You Grow Older by Kathleen Dowling Singh - Paperback

    Encouraging, inspiring, and practical, The Grace in Aging invites all those who have ever experienced spiritual longing to awaken in their twilight years. Since aging, in and of itself, does not lead to spiritual maturity, The Grace in Aging suggests and explores causes and conditions that we can create in our lives, just as we are living them, to allow awakening to unfold—transforming the predictable sufferings of aging into profound opportunities for growth in clarity, love, compassion, and peace.

    Kathleen Dowling Singh streamlines vast and complex teachings into skillful means and wise views. Straightforward language and piercing questions bring Singh’s teachings into the sharp focus of our own lives; the contemplative nature of each chapter allows for an uncommon depth of inquiry. Examples from our lives and from the chatter in our own minds touch the reader personally, offering the chance to absorb the implications deeply and do the work of freeing his or her own mind. Ecumenical in spirit, tone, and language, Singh offers wisdom from teachers from a variety of spiritual backgrounds: Chogyam Trungpa, the Apostles, Annie Dillard, and more. Lessening our attachments, decreasing our aversions, unbinding what binds us, we bear witness to the possibility of awakening for all beings.

    The Grace in Aging offers guidelines for older individuals of any wisdom tradition who wish to awaken before they die; no need for caves or seven-year retreats. This is spiritual practice for the lives we live.

    Review

With acceptance of this fact arises a deep appreciation of life's preciousness. Then we don't want to waste a minute. We are inspired to enter our lives fully. Through her skillful guidance we come to see that aging can be a time of grace and great aliveness." (Frank Ostaseski, Founder, Metta Institute, Co-Founder, Zen Hospice Project)

    "I find Kathleen Dowling Singh's insight and wisdom compelling, readable, and life changing (Death changing too!). This book is indeed grace!" (Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward, A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life)

    "Kathleen Dowling Singh reveals the clear opportunities for spiritual awakening throughout the wonder and challenges of our aging process. The Grace in Aging is a practical guide into our psycho-spiritual dynamics that can be helpful at any age but is especially tuned to the trials of the later stages of our life. Kathleen leads us forward with such dignity and resolution that we become convinced that this phase of life holds a promise and a potential unlike any other. " (Rodney Smith, author of Lessons from the Dying)

    "With her own special grace, Dowling Singh eases us into the foreshortened shelf life we all face as we age and approach death. This future is shorter than our past, but she optimistically shows how we can use it for the spiritual awakening we may have long sought. Wise and remarkably clear, The Grace in Aging can be a comfortable, easy and peaceful fit for our deepest and heartfelt seeking and a wonderful space for our impermanent minds to explore." (Jean Smith, author of Life Is Spiritual Practice)

    "The inevitability of aging need not be a dismal, morbid scenario, but a glorious opening a to a gentle wisdom and peacefulness that the tempests of youth manage to obscure. Let Kathleen Dowling Singh be your guide in this extraordinary period of life, which can be a time of celebration instead of defeat." (Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind)

    "In Kathleen Singh's luminous words, the hidden nature of old age as a practice stands fully revealed with all the potential for fulfillment of a true spiritual path. Don’t grow old without it." (Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom)

    "In The Grace in Aging, Kathleen transposes into a new key all previous discussion of aging. Her book sings with both depth and grace, erudition and that insight born only of deeply sifted experience. All those who have woken up in the morning one day older than when they went to bed the night before owe her a debt of gratitude for pointing us toward that eternal Now, which reveals both life and death as single embrace of transforming Mystery." (Martin Laird, author of Into the Silent Land and A Sunlit Absence)

    "Establishes guideposts in the fog for those seeking greater meaning and fulfillment as they edge toward life’s grand finale; Singh urges us to reclaim the process of aging. The impact is exhilaration." (Spirituality and Health)

    "A bracing but gentle wake-up call for baby boomers, and indeed, anyone who wishes to understand and come to terms with the aging process and the universal impermanence of life itself." (Booklist)

    "Readers of all ages can gain an awareness of the joy inherent in everyday moments large and small. Her calming and illuminating prose aims open readers' minds to live with compassion and wisdom, surrounded by truth." (Shelf Awareness)

    The Blue Day Book by Bradley Trevor Greive - Hardcover USED

    The Blue Day Book is a wonderful collection of amusing, poignant animal photos and inspirational text designed to lift the spirits of anyone who's got the blues. No one who has lips will be able to read it without smiling; it's guaranteed.  The fact is, we all have our bad days-they are an intrinsic part of being human. As prescribed by The Blue Day Book in its delightful photo and text messages, the solution is to see each incident in perspective, recognize that our feelings of failure and loss are not unique, acknowledge the absurdities of our existence, and glory in the potential we all have. In less than 100 sentences, The Blue Day Book conveys this message with great compassion and humor. Its vehicle is charming black-and-white photographs of animals that are strangely human and completely free of judgment or pretension. The humble marriage of easy text and beautiful images takes the reader through the entire evolution of a blue day, examines what it feels like, what causes it, and how to get over it.

    Tomorrow : Adventures in an Uncertain World by Bradley Trevor Greive - Hardcover USED

    Bradley Trevor Greive's inspirational humor books are the luminous "little gems". His volumes are refreshingly original creations, driven by innocent (and often hilarious) animal images combined with just a few well-chosen words of text on each page. His "simple" tomes touch readers in a giant way. 

    BTG's Tomorrow, extends his remarkable reputation for creating profound books from life's most basic and enduring questions. Tomorrow reflects on staying sane in a world of change, conflict, confusion, and seeming madness. More than dealing with change, though, Tomorrow advises readers on how to maintain their footing and optimism even when the very ground seems to shift beneath their soles.

    New and old fans alike will instantly identify with BTG's inviting format and probing insights. It is impossible to read this little book without smiling and laughing out loud.

    Tomorrow's topic undoubtedly resonates with seriousness and concern. But BTG's magic includes his proven ability to mix universal themes with fresh perspectives and howlingly funny photos of animals both in and out of the wild. From a truly bizarre-looking baboon to a tiger that abhors lemon drops, the animal personalities in this book act as irresistible partners in delivering the author's message to the very heart of the reader.

    Tomorrow will be here before you know it. Tomorrow is the perfect gift book for our time.

    Seven Keys to Conquering the World Alone

    "An inspiring guide packed with simple steps to empower your life." - Christine Comaford, NY Times Bestselling Author of Rules For Renegades 

    "Where Eat, Pray, Love stops; Body, Mind, and Solo continues and expands with valuable advice on how to create your own exciting adventures." - Sophie Azouaou, Examiner Columnist & Media Personality 

    These seven keys will unlock your imagination, ignite your passions, and give you the roadmap you need to conquer the world alone. Teresa Rodriguez met an Australian surfer in San Francisco; within months of this chance romantic encounter, she packed up her meager belongings and hopped on a plane to Australia-as a married woman. While things didn't work out with the man, she did fall head over heels with the Land Down Under ... and with traveling. During her difficult separation, Teresa took to the friendly skies to find some solace, inner peace, and time alone. She spent weeks traveling alone and returned to Australia single and broke, but not broken. The new confidence she gained from traveling shined; once back in Australia, she was signed by a modeling agent and worked on the popular game show, Blind Date. Now, she shares with readers the steps she took to overcome her fears and step out into the world solo.

    Living with the Passive Aggressive Man by Scott Wetzler, Ph.D. - Paperback USED

    With more than 100,000 copies in print, Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man draws on case histories from clinical psychologist Scott Wetzler’s practice to help you identify the destructive behavior, the root causes and motivations, and solutions.

    Do you know one of these men?

    The catch-me-if-you-can lover...

    Phil’s romantic and passionate one minute, distant and cold the next.

    The deviously manipulative coworker or boss...

    Jack denies resenting Nora’s rapid rise in the company, but when they’re assigned to work together on a project, he undermines her.

    The obstructionist, procrastinating husband...

    Bob keeps telling his wife he’ll finish the painting job he began years ago, but he never seems to get around to it.

    These are all classic examples of the passive-aggressive man. This personality syndrome—in which hostility wears a mask of passivity—is currently the number one source of men’s problems in relationships and on the job. In Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man, Scott Wetzler draws upon numerous case histories from his own practice to explain how and why the passive-aggressive man thinks, feels, and acts the way he does. Dr. Wetzler also offers advice on: 

    • How to avoid playing victim, manager, or rescuer to the “P-A”

    • How to get his anger and fear into the open

    • How to help the “P-A” become a better lover, husband, and father

    • How to survive passive-aggressive game playing on the job 

    Living with a man’s passive aggression can be an emotional seesaw ride. But armed with this book, you can avoid the bumpy landings.

  • The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford - Paperback Nonfiction

    The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford - Paperback Nonfiction

    The bestselling, beloved classic on how to go into the dark side of yourself to bring out the light -- now with new material.

    Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion. We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics. But, Ford points out, our families and our society send us strong messages about which ones are good and bad. So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go.

    It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don't fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world. She shows us the effects of living in the dark, of keeping all our supposedly unsavory impulses under wraps. We find ourselves disproportionately frustrated and angry at the selfishness of friends, the laziness of colleagues, the arrogance of siblings. When we are unable to reconcile similar impulses in ourselves, Ford explains, we waste our own energy judging others instead of empathizing. But most important, we deny ourselves the power and freedom of living authentically.

    Through the stories and exercises in The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us not only how to recognize our hidden emotions, but also how to find the gifts they offer us. This is for fans of Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch, and Deepak Chopra. The very impulses we most fear may be the key to what is lacking in our lives.

  • How to Stay Sane in a Crazy World by Sophia Stuart - Hardcover Nonfiction

    How to Stay Sane in a Crazy World by Sophia Stuart - Hardcover Nonfiction

    Has it just been one of those days? Or months? Or years? I was once in a yoga class (a rare yoga class, I’ll admit), where the teacher had us all exhale again and again and again, until—as she put it—we’d let go of today, the last month and, by the end, “the whole of last year.” We all collapsed in very non-yogic giggling. But we knew what she meant. Exhale. Let it all go.

         To exhale, I stop “doing Life” and start to wind down and engage in soothing rituals like lighting a candle.

         And then I take to my bed.

         Perhaps you need to do the same? . . .

         Gather up your pillows and a box of Kleenex, a novel and some tea . . . sink back against those soft pillows and dream. It’s time to rest, rejuvenate, and appreciate just how glorious life really is.

    “Who but Sophia Stuart, creator of the delightful teamgloria.com, could make ‘taking to one’s bed’ seem like a victory instead of defeat? In her lovely book of hours, she weaves together wisdom and witticisms, slowly convincing you that you have been chasing all the wrong things in this mad, mad world. Fortunately, she instantly provides the antidote: cashmere blankets, a pot of tea, and a gentle, encouraging nudge that tells you to open your eyes and see the world anew. A necessary book. And an irresistible one, too.”

    —Stacy Morrison, author of Falling Apart in One Piece and former editor in chief of Redbook magazine
