Download or read book The Joy You Make written by Steven Petrow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning Washington Post columnist Steven Petrow, a guide to finding joy even during life’s most difficult times AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER We all know what it’s like to experience the disappointments and sorrows of life. Unexpected challenges like layoffs, divorce, illness, and the death of a loved one can leave us hurting and isolated. Add to that the unending anxiety we feel at the state of the world—political strife and global upheavals—and we end up with a recipe for . . . joy? Yes, says journalist Steven Petrow, who has lived through all of those things, and arrived at a surprising conclusion: Joy is always present—in our everyday routines, in ties to those we care about, even in our grief. It may be easier to see and feel it during the good times, but we can learn to find joy even in the darkest days. All we need is a road map—and now we have one. In The Joy You Make, Petrow explores the many expressions of joy and shows readers how to find, cultivate, and share it. He takes us on a journey from the darkness of the Arctic to a frenetic cancer ward in Manhattan, a trip that includes his parents’ deaths, the breakup of his marriage, and his sister’s cancer diagnosis. Combining his personal experiences with research and expert interviews, Petrow asks (and answers) the question: “What if there was a way to find the joy in everything?” Come join him on his search, and make it yours.
Download or read book Sebastian written by GiGi Meier and published by GiGi Meier. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Santa Claus IS the gift this holiday season. In the glittering world of Houston's elite, Chloe Miller, a driven financial analyst with an unbreakable spirit, stands out not for her wealth but for her impeccable fashion sense. Yet behind the façade of success lies a childhood shadowed by poverty, where Christmas was a harsh reminder of what she couldn't afford. Her desire for glamour and a better life led her to build a fortress of designer clothes and accessories, guarding her against the judgment of a world that had once looked down on her. When an invitation to the high-society charity Christmas party hosted by the charismatic heir to immense wealth, Sebastian Agnelli, arrives, Chloe's skepticism mingles with her fear of being judged for her humble beginnings. Sebastian Agnelli, a playboy with a flamboyant lifestyle, longs for something more meaningful. Haunted by the painful loss of his parents in a plane crash during his college years, he is burdened by wealth he never wanted. Their fateful encounter at the charity event becomes the spark that sets their worlds on a collision course. As the holiday season unfolds, their connection deepens, and the walls they've built around their hearts start to crumble. Chloe's fear of judgment and Sebastian's need for authenticity form a potent mix, challenging them to confront their pasts and insecurities. Sebastian is a heartwarming tale of romance, redemption, and the enchantment of the holiday spirit, where two individuals find that the most precious gifts can't be bought with wealth but are discovered in the depths of the heart. Sebastian is the second book in The Cougars and Cubs Series and is a connected standalone. It is a steamy, reverse age-gap, opposites attract, holiday romance.
Book Synopsis Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat by : Jen Mann
Download or read book Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat written by Jen Mann and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson comes an uproarious and oddly endearing essay collection for anyone trying to survive the holidays in one piece. When it comes to time-honored holiday traditions, Jen Mann pulls no punches In this hilariously irreverent collection of essays, Jen Mann, nationally bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat, turns her mordant wit on the holidays. On Mann’s naughty list: mothers who go way overboard with their Elf on the Shelf, overzealous carolers who can’t take a hint, and people who write their Christmas cards in the third person (“Joyce is enjoying Bunko. Yeah, Joyce, we know you wrote this letter.”). And on her nice list . . . well, she’s working on that one. Here, no celebration is off-limits. The essays include: • You Can Keep Your Cookies, I’m Just Here for the Booze • Nice Halloween Costume. Was Skank Sold Out? • Why You Won’t Be Invited to Our Chinese New Year Party From hosting an ill-fated Chinese New Year party, to receiving horrible gifts from her husband on Mother’s Day, to reluctantly telling her son the truth about the Easter Bunny, Mann knows the challenge of navigating the holidays while keeping her sanity intact. And even if she can’t get out of attending another Christmas cookie exchange, at least she can try again next year. Praise for Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat “Mann’s writing has transcended from witty anecdotes and complaints to notable satire. Hidden among the many laugh-out-loud zingers are lessons on how we relate to each other, and how ridiculous parenting culture has become.”—Associated Press “Following the success of her first book, she is now punching throats at holidays, starting from her being age two and continuing to the present, where she is a harried mother bemoaning not just Christmas but all holidays. . . . Harried holiday haters will chuckle and perhaps see themselves somewhere in Mann’s lifetime dislike of and misbehavior during America’s increasingly commercialized celebrations.”—Booklist “The cure for my cold holiday spirit this year is the sidesplitting new book by Jen Mann. . . . Mann delivers her signature punch lines and sharp critique on the oftentimes ridiculous shenanigans of the modern family. Her ability to make an otherwise boring subject come alive with colorful personalities, biting sarcasm, and impressively astute observations on suburban culture is what makes Mann so much fun to read and so easy to relate to.”—The Huffington Post “A lighthearted, laugh-out-loud book . . . with a feel of peeking into a diary.”—Mommy’s Memorandum “It really does make you laugh out loud.”—Shooting Stars Mag “A quick and delightful read that you can sneak in right before bed or when the kids are finally napping.”—FangirlNation “Grab a cup of hot cocoa, sit back and enjoy Jen’s latest collection of humorous rants dissecting the ‘most wonderful time’ of the year. She unleashes her biting wit and hilarious opinions on everything from cookie exchanges to annual humblebrag Christmas letters from overachieving moms to horrifying Christmases of her childhood.”—Creating Serenity “[Mann] has really mastered the short story format. . . . She packs the maximum amount of funny into the fewest words, and many of these essays are downright hilarious. . . . If you’ve read and liked her other books, you will definitely want to read this one, too.”—Bug Bug Book Reviews
