A Taste of Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul 2
by Mark Victor Hansen Jack Canfield Carol Kline Marci ShimoffThere is no one like a mother. Our mothers gave us life, love us, take care of us, and want the best for us, no matter how old we are. There is no way to adequately describe the gift they have given us. No other experience in the world compares to being a mother. Being pregnant, going through labor and childbirth, and for adoptive and biological mothers, seeing your baby's face for the very first time-these are powerful occurrences are just the start of the unique role in life we call motherhood. How can we ever adequately thank our mothers for the gift of life and unconditional love? How can we honor our daughters, wives, friends, and other relatives who are mothers for the enormously important job they do? We can remember to express all the love and gratitude we feel for them. We at Chicken Soup offer this "bouquet of stories" to mothers, and their children, everywhere. We hope it will warm the heart, make you laugh and give mothers a renewed sense of purpose and courage to continue what so many feel is life's most rewarding and challenging occupation.

A Taste of Sake (The Napa Wine Heiresses #4)
by Heather HeyfordAs author Heather Heyford pours a final glass in her series following three Napa wine heiresses, a newcomer must work her way into a tightly-knit family whose bond has been fermenting for years... Though they each have their own ambitions and are known to be competitive--even with each other--the St. Pierre sisters are fiercely loyal. Chardonnay and Merlot are thrilled about Sauvignon's wedding day, and it's slated to be the soirée of the decade among Napa's most elite residents. Given the family's notoriety, it almost stands to reason that their eccentric father, Xavier, would arrive by helicopter. But no one could have anticipated the wedding surprise he'd brought along with him... The product of one of Xavier's many affairs, Sake is introduced as the half-Japanese sister the St. Pierre girls never knew they had. She struggles to break into clique-ish Napa society--and getting in with her sisters is proving more difficult than nabbing a '74 Cabernet. It seems only high-end realtor Bill Diamond can tell there's more to Sake than meets the eye. Afraid of repeating her mother's mistakes, Sake just hopes that getting drunk on love won't leave her with a hangover of rejection...

She easily could've cashed in on her family's fortune, but instead, she struck out on her own, breezed through law school, and landed a job at a small firm in Napa. Savvy's life is as tidy and straightforward as her sizable collection of little black dresses, and she likes it that way--but every now and then, she can't help but long for her first sip of love...After a chance encounter with Esteban Morales, the caliente son of Papa St. Pierre's long-time rival, something inside Savvy wakes up. It could be that Esteban's interest in cultivating lavender appeals to her passion for perfumery. But there's something else about the charming but down-to-earth farmer that she simply can't resist. They both know their families are an unlikely pairing, but together, Savvy and Esteban just may be the ideal varietals for a perfect blend...

The Taste of Sugar: A Novel
by Marisel VeraMarisel Vera emerges as a major voice of contemporary fiction with a heart- wrenching novel set in Puerto Rico on the eve of the Spanish-American War. It is 1898, and groups of starving Puerto Ricans, los hambrientos, roam the parched countryside and dusty towns begging for food. Under the yoke of Spanish oppression, the Caribbean island is forced to prepare to wage war with the United States. Up in the mountainous coffee region of Utuado, Vicente Vega and Valentina Sanchez labor to keep their small farm from the creditors. When the Spanish-American War and the great San Ciriaco Hurricane of 1899 bring devastating upheaval, the young couple is lured, along with thousands of other puertorriquenos, to the sugar plantations of Hawaii—another US territory—where they are confronted by the hollowness of America’s promises of prosperity. Writing in the tradition of great Latin American storytelling, Marisel Vera’s The Taste of Sugar is an unforgettable novel of love and endurance, and a timeless portrait of the reasons we leave home.

Now that most of the sisters have come of age, Barry Barnacle proposes a contest, a test of wits and wills that should at long last settle what is to Barry the most essential of all questions: nature, or nurture? Whichever of his daughters can most spectacularly carry on his name will inherit his fortune; the others are out cold.It's a proposition to set a Jane Austen heroine on her ear, but in Galt Niederhoffer's A Taxonomy of Barnacles, the Barnacle girls are up to the challenge.

TDAH: Un cazador en un mundo de agricultores
by Thom Hartmann• Explica que las personas con TDAH no tienen trastornos, sino que son &“cazadores en un mundo de agricultores&”; es decir, poseen un conjunto de habilidades mentales únicas que les habrían permitido prosperar en una sociedad de cazadores-recolectores • Ofrece métodos y prácticas concretas y sin fármacos para ayudar a los &“cazadores&”, y a sus padres, maestros y administradores, a aceptar sus diferencias, fomentar la creatividad y encontrar el éxito en la escuela, el trabajo y el hogar • Revela cómo algunas de las personas más exitosas del mundo pueden ser etiquetadas como cazadores con TDAH, incluidos Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison y Andrew CarnegieCon un 10% de los niños del mundo occidental que muestra indicios de tener trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad, o TDAH, y un número creciente de adultos autodiagnosticándose, después de décadas de lucha, debemos plantear la pregunta: ¿cómo pudo cometer tal &“error&” la naturaleza? En este libro, Thom Hartmann explica que las personas con TDAH no son anormales, desordenadas o disfuncionales, sino simplemente &“cazadores en un mundo de agricultores&”. A menudo muy creativos y resueltos en la búsqueda de un objetivo elegido por ellos mismos, las personas con síntomas de TDAH poseen un conjunto de habilidades mentales únicas, las cuales les habrían permitido prosperar en una sociedad de cazadores-recolectores. Como cazadores, habrían estado constantemente escaneando su entorno, buscando comida o amenazas (distracción); habrían tenido que actuar sin vacilación (impulsividad) y amado el entorno de alta estimulación y lleno de riesgos del campo de caza. Con nuestras escuelas públicas, lugares de trabajo de oficina y fábricas estructuradas, aquellos que heredan un excedente de &“habilidades de cazador&” a menudo se sienten frustrados en un mundo que no los comprende ni los apoya. Como muestra Hartmann, al reformular nuestra visión del TDAH, podemos comenzar a verlo no como un trastorno, sino como una diferencia y, en cierto modo, una ventaja. El autor revela cómo algunas de las personas más exitosas del mundo pueden ser etiquetadas como cazadores de TDAH, aparte de proporcionar prácticas y métodos concretos, sin fármacos, para ayudar a los cazadores, y a sus padres, maestros y gerentes, a aceptar sus diferencias, fomentar la creatividad y encontrar el éxito en la escuela, en el trabajo y en casa. Además de ofrecer una guía de &“supervivencia&” para ayudar a afinar sus habilidades naturales, en lugar de suprimirlas, Hartmann muestra que cada mente, ya sea cazadora, agricultora o en algún punto intermedia, tiene valor y un gran potencial a la espera de ser aprovechado.
Te amaré eternamente: ... y otros mitos de la vida en pareja
by Diana WangLa psicóloga Diana Wang, con casi cincuenta años de ejercicio como terapeuta de parejas, recaba algunas observaciones, consejos y lecciones que fue aprendiendo tanto de sus pacientes como de su propia experiencia para todos los que quieren compartir la vida con otra persona. Nos arrojamos a las relaciones de pareja ilusionados y convencidos de que el amor y el deseo durarán por siempre. Pero esa sensación de mariposas en la panza, que algunos llaman infatuación, no es eterna. Con suerte, cuando el fuego se va apagando, queda el rescoldo tibio y amable de una buena relación, confianza, lazos familiares y expectativas a futuro. Nos hemos formado en una cultura que lee todo lo anterior como un pobre consuelo ante la falta del fuego sublime de la pasión desatada. Y pasado un tiempo, descubrimos que tenemos poco en común con el otro, que las peleas son una constante y que no coincidimos en casi nada. Con la extensión de la vida y el cambio de paradigma de este siglo, la pareja de larga data tambalea, aunque el tema ha recibido poca atención en nuestra sociedad. ¿Cómo hacemos para sostener un proyecto de a dos en un mundo donde la idea de enamorarse para siempre ya no tiene tanta fuerza? La psicóloga Diana Wang, con casi cinco décadas de ejercicio como terapeuta de parejas, recaba algunas observaciones, consejos y lecciones que fue aprendiendo tanto de sus pacientes como de su experiencia personal. Con humor, calidez y realismo, aborda temas como el dinero, el sexo, la monogamia, la fidelidad, los hijos, los nietos, los suegros, el espacio personal, los secretos, los divorcios, las nuevas parejas y las familias ensambladas. Este libro extraordinario es una lectura imprescindible para todos los que quieren seguir apostando a la misteriosa aventura de compartir la vida con otra persona.
