As the unofficial "gratitude correspondent" for the Atlantic, James Parker has written countless odes of appreciation on subjects from the seemingly minor ("Ode to Naps") to the unexpected ("Ode to Giving People Money") to the seemingly minor, unexpected, and hyperspecific ("Ode to Running in Movies"). Finally collecting Parker's beloved and much-lauded odes in one place, this volume demonstrates the profound power of the form. Each ode celebrates the permanent susceptibility of everyday humdrum life to dazzling saturations of divine light: the squirrel in the street, the crying baby, the misplaced cup of tea. Parker's odes are songs of praise, but with a decent amount of complaining in there, too: a human ratio of moans. Our politics are broken; our world is melting. Parker's odes offer respite but also a glimmer of hope. They represent encounters with whatever might get us through the next five minutes of the impossible, beautiful, overwhelming thing we call living.

From the self-made businesswoman and founder of the global platform Build Like A Woman comes the essential resource to unleash your business, take up space, and create your dream life.

In a world of hustle culture and burnout, women don't want to lean in, they want to lie down. Now more than ever, women are looking to leave the corporate grind to break out into their own entrepreneurial ventures in a way that feeds their life rather than consumes it. But they don't know exactly where to start.

Kathleen Griffith has been in these exact shoes. When she set out to launch her own business she found that the women's business space was big on "go, girl" messages, but short on the gritty details of actually building a business. So she taught herself everything she could, learned from the best minds in business and coached with personal growth experts. She realized, shockingly, that all the "mindset" work paid the highest dividends of all in her business, and that through this process she had developed a proven method for success.

Blending foundational mindset tenets with the practical, actionable, business-building skillsets, Build Like A Woman is for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs who want to start and scale a business AND life they love. From corporate dropouts to side hustlers to recent college grads to full-fledged founders. This is not a regular business book, but an unconventional blueprint for creation. It will shake up any belief that's holding you back, remove any barriers standing in your way and unlock your full potential.

Tools you'll get to break ground in business and break through in life:
● Life Design
● Wellness Practices
● Personal Power
● Mindful Leadership
● Money Management
● Customer Target
● Brand Strategy
● Marketing Plan
● Sales Pitch

The Silent Suicide, The Link Between PTSD, Addiction and Breast Cancer

Have you ever wondered why people get breast cancer? This was a burning question in my mind as to "why." What started out to be a nagging question after watching and helping people personally and professionally suffer from breast cancer ended up being a book. But here it is, after 20 years of thought, research, and my own personal discovery, the answers to my burning question of why people get breast cancer. This book will give some insights as to how these cancers form from a Traditional Chinese Medical standpoint.

Traditional Chinese Medicine involves the body, mind, and spirit, and when we look at diseases, the physical will always be equal to the emotional. For example, the root cause of cancer runs deep within a person and can be connected to some unresolved emotional or physical experiences between a mother and child.

The book will give the reader a better understanding of how these cancers occur by looking at both TCM and Western Medicine and emotional factors. It will also give you some perspective into healing and resolving the disconnect between body, mind, and spirit.

Rosie shares her notes on how she designed her garden and nurtured it to life, along with the simple recipes she created to let the freshly grown produce shine. Inside, you'll find sides and snacks, salads and soups, mains and desserts, all shown through the captivating lens of revered British photographer Andrew Montgomery.

Whether the produce you use is from your garden or local market, Rosie's elegant recipes will help you celebrate the honest flavors of fruits and vegetables.

A heart-wrenching and beautifully crafted memoir about a woman who escaped years of domestic violence--and her sister, who did not.

In April 2002, Janine Latus's youngest sister, Amy, wrote a note and taped it to the inside of her desk drawer. Today Ron Ball and I are romantically involved, it read, but I fear I have placed myself at risk in a variety of ways. Based on his criminal past, writing this out just seems like the smart thing to do. If I am missing or dead this obviously has not protected me...

That same spring Janine Latus was struggling to leave her marriage--a marriage to a handsome and successful man. A marriage others emulated. A marriage in which she felt she could do nothing right and everything wrong. A marriage in which she felt afraid, controlled, inadequate, and trapped.

Ten weeks later, Janine Latus had left her marriage. She was on a business trip to the East Coast, savoring her freedom, attending a work conference, when she received a call from her sister Jane asking if she'd heard from Amy. Immediately, Janine's blood ran cold. Amy was missing.

Helicopters went up and search dogs went out. Coworkers and neighbors and family members plastered missing posters with Amy's picture across the county. It took more than two weeks to find Amy's body, wrapped in a tarpaulin and buried at a building site. It took nearly two years before her killer, her former boyfriend Ron Ball, was sentenced for her murder.

Amy died in silent fear and pain. Haunted by this, Janine Latus turned her journalistic eye inward. How, she wondered, did two seemingly well-adjusted, successful women end up in strings of physically or emotionally abusive relationships with men? If I Am Missing or Dead is a heart-wrenching journey of discovery as Janine Latus traces the roots of her own -- and her sister's -- victimization with unflinching candor. This beautifully written memoir will move readers from the first to the last page. At once a confession, a call to break the cycle of abuse, and a deeply felt love letter to her baby sister, Amy Lynne Latus, If I Am Missing or Dead is an unforgettable read.
