Book excerpt: Joy! A Modern Fable by first-time novelist Alisha Berger Gorder will soothe your soul and warm your heart. It is a rare find, a balm for these uncertain times, one that will restore your faith in the goodness of people and in the healing power of kindness. You will laugh, cry, feel, and hope. You will root for the characters you meet and you will come away better for having taken the time to meet them. The reading is light, but Gorder's observations are deep. There are few books that will make you feel this good or this certain that the best is yet to come. Joy! is a signpost for those who believe we are all connected and that we are all part of something bigger. Take a chance. You won't be disappointed, for kindness can be taught and joy is all around you.Joy! is an easy read that thoughtfully examines the pursuit of happiness in contemporary America through the fictional lives of relatable folks who live here. Gorder's characters come to life so expertly, that it feels as if they are sitting next to you as you read. Five loosely interwoven characters--an aging and lonely pastor, a professor on the cusp of tenure, a mother who loves so, so deeply, an angry man who resents everyone who crosses his path, and a great grandfather who lives alone in the house in which he raised his family--will pull you in. Gorder brings you into their lives as they navigate hope, loss, love, parenting, family, and reinvention in this uplifting first novel by one of the most promising and observant female voices of our time.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Kristin Hannah is beloved by readers around the world for her unique blend of powerful emotion and exquisite storytelling. In Comfort & Joy, she offers a modern-day fairy tale—the story of a woman who gets a miraculous chance at happiness. Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind—to just walk away—and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined. In the small town of Rain Valley, six-year-old Bobby O’Shea is facing his first Christmas without a mother. Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again. But not everything is as it seems in quiet Rain Valley, and in an instant, Joy’s world is ripped apart, and her heart is broken. On a magical Christmas Eve, a night of impossible dreams and unexpected chances, Joy must find the courage to believe in a love—and a family—that can’t possibly exist, and go in search of what she wants . . . and the new life only she can find.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology, at least in theory, is improving our productivity, efficiency, and communication. The one thing it's not doing is making us happier. We are experiencing historically high levels of depression and dissatisfaction. But we can change that. Knowing that technology is here to stay and will continue to evolve in form and function, we need to know how to navigate the future to achieve a better balance between technology, productivity, and well-being. Technology can drive—not diminish—human happiness. In The Future of Happiness, author Amy Blankson, cofounder of the global positive psychology consulting firm GoodThink, unveils five strategies successful individuals can use, not just to survive—but actually thrive—in the Digital Age: • Stay Grounded to focus your energy and increase productivity • Know Thyself through app-driven data to strive toward your potential • Train Your Brain to develop and sustain an optimistic mindset • Create a Habitat for Happiness to maximize the spaces where you live, work, and learn • Be a Conscious Innovator to help make the world a better place By rethinking when, where, why, and how you use technology, you will not only influence your own well-being but also help shape the future of your community. Discover how technologies can transform the idea of "I'll be happy when . . ." to being happy now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Jay Ladin made headlines around the world when, after years of teaching literature at Yeshiva University, he returned to the Orthodox Jewish campus as a woman—Joy Ladin. In Through the Door of Life, Joy Ladin takes readers inside her transition as she changed genders and, in the process, created a new self. With unsparing honesty and surprising humor, Ladin wrestles with both the practical problems of gender transition and the larger moral, spiritual, and philosophical questions that arise. Ladin recounts her struggle to reconcile the pain of her experience living as the “wrong” gender with the pain of her children in losing the father they love. We eavesdrop on her lifelong conversations with the God whom she sees both as the source of her agony and as her hope for transcending it. We look over her shoulder as she learns to walk and talk as a woman after forty-plus years of walking and talking as a man. We stare with her into the mirror as she asks herself how the new self she is creating will ever become real. Ladin’s poignant memoir takes us from the death of living as the man she knew she wasn’t, to the shattering of family and career that accompanied her transition, to the new self, relationships, and love she finds when she opens the door of life. 2012 Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award for Biography, Autobiography, or Memoir “Wrenching—and liberating. . . .[it] opens up new ways of looking at gender and the place of LGBT Jews in community.”—Greater Phoenix Jewish News “Given her high-profile academic position, Ladin’s transition was a major news story in Israel and even internationally. But behind the public story was a private struggle and learning experience, and Ladin pulls no punches in telling that story. She offers a peek into how daunting it was to learn, with little support from others, how to dress as a middle-aged woman, to mu on make-up, to walk and talk like a female. She provides a front-row seat for observing how one person confronted a seemingly impossible situation and how she triumphed, however shakingly, over the many adversities, both societal and psychological, that stood in the way.”—The Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide

It's a terrific book . . . a great gift for you, for your family. . . -Terry Meeuwsen, co-host of The 700 ClubEric Burns is a writer fighting for family values in a razzle-dazzle celebrity-laced culture. And the characters he creates here are geniune in description, dialogue, and emotions. -CompassA powerful indictment of a culture in celebrity's thrall . . . In this little work of fiction, he's told the shallow story of our time, pretending it's just a heart-warming tale about a different kind of princess and her dad. -NewsdayThis hard-cover gift book has the power to mist up the eyes of even the sternest reader. It will be especially potent for fathers and their daughters, if the latter are in their teens or older. Because of its message, it's one heck of an emotional gift for a girl or woman to give her dad if she admires him for the person he is rather than for the things he's accumulated. -Journal InquirerDo not expect to read [this book] and still have a dry eye. [It] will be every parent and child's favorite. -Barnes & Noble EventsFinally, a book for young readers that questions the meaning and importance of fame, a book that tries to put a few human priorities back where they belong. -Ellis Henican comments on Bloomberg Radio

Book excerpt: In this acclaimed memoir, Bliss Broyard, daughter of the literary critic Anatole Broyard, examines her father's choice to hide his racial identity, and the impact of this revelation on her own life. Two months before he died, renowned literary critic Anatole Broyard called his grown son and daughter to his side to impart a secret he had kept all their lives and most of his own: he was black. Born in the French Quarter in 1920, Anatole had begun to conceal his racial identity after his family moved to Brooklyn and his parents resorted to "passing" in order to get work. As he grew older and entered the ranks of the New York literary elite, he maintained the favßade. Now his daughter Bliss tries to make sense of his choices. Seeking out unknown relatives in New York, Los Angeles, and New Orleans, Bliss uncovers the 250-year history of her family in America and chronicles her own evolution from privilged WASP to a woman of mixed-race ancestry.
