The Year of the Horses: A Memoir
by Courtney MaumAs seen on The Today Show A Good Morning America, Vanity Fair, TODAY, NYLON and PureWow Best Book of May and a Publishers Weekly and Boston.com Best Book of Summer An Amazon Best Book of 2022 So Far (Biography & Memoir Category) Sharp, heartfelt, and cathartic, The Year of the Horses captures a woman’s journey out of depression and the horses that guide her, physically and emotionally, on a new path forward. At the age of thirty-seven, Courtney Maum finds herself in an indoor arena in Connecticut, moments away from stepping back into the saddle. For her, this is not just a riding lesson, but a last-ditch attempt to pull herself back from the brink even though riding is a relic from the past she walked away from. She hasn’t been on or near a horse in over thirty years. Although Maum does know what depression looks like, she finds herself refusing to admit, at this point in her life, that it could look like her: a woman with a privileged past, a mortgage, a husband, a healthy child, and a published novel. That she feels sadness is undeniable, but she feels no right to claim it. And when both therapy and medication fail, Courtney returns to her childhood passion of horseback riding as a way to recover the joy and fearlessness she once had access to as a young girl. As she finds her way, once again, through the world of contemporary horseback riding—Courtney becomes reacquainted with herself not only as a rider but as a mother, wife, daughter, writer, and woman. Alternating timelines and braided with historical portraits of women and horses alongside history’s attempts to tame both parties, The Year of the Horses is an inspiring love letter to the power of animals—and humans—to heal the mind and the heart.

by Shonda RhimesThe mega-talented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder chronicles how saying YES for one year changed her life-and how it can change yours, too.With three hit shows on television and three children at home, the uber-talented Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say NO when an unexpected invitation arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And there was the side-benefit of saying No for an introvert like Shonda: nothing new to fear. Then Shonda's sister laid down a challenge: just for one year, try to say YES to the unexpected invitations that come your way. Shonda reluctantly agreed-and the result was nothing short of transformative. In Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes chronicles the powerful impact saying yes had on every aspect of her life-and how we can all change our lives with one little word. Yes.
A Year to Change Your Mind: Ideas from the Therapy Room to Help You Live Better
by Lucy Maddox'Twelve months' worth of smart self-help from someone you'd want on your team in a crisis ... genuinely useful, charming, comforting' - Guardian'Compelling, warm and authoritative' - Viv Groskop, bestselling author of Lift As You Climb'A compassionate book filled with useful tips to help us through life' - Claudia Hammond, bestselling author of The Key to KindnessHelp yourself to live a better life in 2023Psychology underpins everything we do, determining the decisions we make, the relationships we build, the roles we play and the places we live, and our behaviour is further influenced by the changing seasons, encouraging many of us to fall into unhelpful patterns again and again each year. In A YEAR TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, consultant clinical psychologist Dr Lucy Maddox explains how psychological processes thread through our lives, pinpointing those issues most frequently encountered in each month, and shows us how by reflecting upon past experiences, both joyful and painful, and considering evidence-based ideas from the realm of psychology, we can learn to live a more thoughtful, positive life that better prepares us for the future. From the tendency to lack motivation in January and to experience red-hot anger in the heat of August, to the weight of expectation associated with that back-to-school feeling in September and the pressure to enjoy the December holiday season, we're shown recognisable features of behaviour over the course of the year. In sharing with us the most useful psychology ideas the author has learned in her 15 years as a clinical psychologist - ones she uses in her own life, and returns to time and time again with people who have come to see her for therapy - she provides plenty to think about that we too can put into practice to improve our own lives.'Compassionate and easy to read, this book can lead us to better ways of living. It is filled with unpretentious wisdom' - Henry Mance'A fantastic book crammed full of practical - and evidence-based - tips to shift your thinking' - Sonia Sodha'Warm, assuring' - Independent

A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last
by Stephen LevineIn his new book, Stephen Levine, author of the perennial best-seller Who Dies?, teaches us how to live each moment, each hour, each day mindfully--as if it were all that was left. On his deathbed, Socrates exhorted his followers to practice dying as the highest form of wisdom. Levine decided to live this way himself for a whole year, and now he shares with us how such immediacy radically changes our view of the world and forces us to examine our priorities. Most of us go to extraordinary lengths to ignore, laugh off, or deny the fact that we are going to die, but preparing for death is one of the most rational and rewarding acts of a lifetime. It is an exercise that gives us the opportunity to deal with unfinished business and enter into a new and vibrant relationship with life. Levine provides us with a year-long program of intensely practical strategies and powerful guided meditations to help with this work, so that whenever the ultimate moment does arrive for each of us, we will not feel that it has come too soon.
A Year with Anthony De Mello: Waking Up Week by Week
by Anthony De MelloRelease your true inner self, shed society&’s expectations and programming, and regain your equilibrium with A Year with Anthony De Mello. This week-by-week workbook is filled with fifty-two passages and stories of De Mello&’s echoing wisdom, inspiring quotes from a variety of influential world-famous people, and thought-provoking journal prompts.We have all been programmed to seek happiness outside of ourselves—seized through great effort from an unpredictable world—and then to become upset and self-condemning when our effort fails to realize its promise of fulfillment, which it always fails to do. This is not to say that success isn&’t a reasonable pursuit, but it cannot give us happiness. Nothing of the world can. Why? Because we have it already. The happiness, peace, and love that defines fulfillment are already yours, encoded in your spiritual DNA. They are not earned or acquired. They live in you as you to be expressed through you. The only effort needed is really no effort at all; it's a matter of coming home to yourself. A Year with Anthony De Mello is a week-by-week workshop of fifty-two passages from De Mello, each followed by a favorite parable or koan Anthony admired to illuminate the passage, and two simple but engaging exercises to actualize the week&’s teaching. There are also blank pages for journaling about your insights during the week.`

Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life
by Linda Loewenthal Irwin Kula"Irwin Kula shows us how to to live our humanness -- the pleasures and the challenges, the messiness and the triumphs -- with a profound acceptance of our desires and foibles and a joy that can only come from understanding." --Deepak Chopra "Yearning. After twenty-three years as a rabbi, I can think of no more defining human experience."Life can be messy and imperfect. We're all looking for answers. And yet, as renowned rabbi Irwin Kula points out, the yearning for answers is no different now than it was in the times that gave rise to Moses, Buddha, and Jesus. Far from being a burden, however, these yearnings can themselves become a path to blessing, prompting questions and insights, resulting in new ways of being and believing. In this, his first book, Rabbi Kula takes us on an excursion into the depths of our desires, applying ancient Jewish tradition to seven of our most wonderful yearnings. Merging ancient wisdom with contemporary insights, Rabbi Kula shows how traditional practices can inform and enrich our own search for meaning. More importantly, he invites us to embrace the messiness and complexities of the human experience in order to fully embrace the endless and glorious project of life.
A Year's Thoughts: 365 Daily Devotionals of Christian Advice for Life and Spiritual Well-being
by William Joseph Gabriel DoyleCelebrated priest Father William Doyle was famous for the depth of his spiritual insight, and his ability to confer good advice – this book contains 365 extracts, one for every day of the year.The many and varied topics within this collection range from short, poignant and proverbial sayings – “a sharp tongue is the only tool that grows sharper with use” – to all manner of sound spiritual counsel. Grounded in Biblical wisdom and the extensive experiences of the author, we find passages on overcoming adversity, observing the influence of God in daily life, and cultivating the virtues that all good Christians should carry through life and confer upon others.Yearly events and festivals such as Easter and Christmas receive commentary, with particular attention given to the life and deeds of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are frequently reminded of the Son of God’s hardships and virtues, and shown how to take these as examples for good Christian behavior. While serious of purpose, William Doyle imbues his advices with liveliness and wit; the author’s kindness and lack of severity is in the fullest evidence.Tragically, William Doyle perished in 1917 at the age of forty-four while serving as a chaplain in the British Army during World War One. His wisdom however lived on, and is graciously enjoyed by many believers to this day.-Print ed.

The Yellow World
by Albert EspinosaA sensational memoir with all the emotional power of The Fault in Our Stars, The Yellow World is the story of cancer and survival that has moved and inspired readers around the world. My heroes don't wear red capes. They wear red bands. Albert Espinosa never wanted to write a book about cancer--so he didn't. Instead, he shares his most touching, funny, tragic, and happy memories in the hopes that others, healthy and sick alike, can draw the same strength and vitality from them. At thirteen, Espinosa was diagnosed with cancer, and he spent the next ten years in and out of hospitals, undergoing one daunting procedure after another, starting with the amputation of his left leg. After going on to lose a lung and half of his liver, he was finally declared cancer-free. Only then did he realize that the one thing sadder than dying is not knowing how to live. In this rich and rewarding book, Espinosa takes us into what he calls "the yellow world," a place where fear loses its meaning; where strangers become, for a moment, your greatest allies; and where the lessons you learn will nourish you for the rest of your life.
The YES Culture
by Mikael KamberIn The YES culture, the Mikael Kamber leads us on an exploration of the human behaviour mechanisms that he has shown can both ignite or dampen positive energy. Positives, such as incentives, achieve better results than negatives, such as penalties. In other words, “Carrots work better than sticks.” Offering advice grounded in studies of behavioural economics, the author teaches us how to evolve from being driven by “the burning platform”, into being engaged and motivated by our own “burning aspirations”. Using interviews and examples from successful companies and organizations, the author shares his own research and gives us insight into where joy comes from. He answers the question of how we can foster the YES culture in our own workplaces to optimise our performance and do our very best work. This book is full of practical and easily implementable tools, and will inspire you with concrete strategies for how to create positive energy and get it to spread. Happiness and enthusiasm are a goldmine of potential for both your colleagues and your personal life. Understanding what gives rise to happiness and enthusiasm unlocks an important first step that will help you develop your leadership skills to support a communicative, focused, and trustful workplace.
