To most people it is self-evident -- the secret to true happiness is not found in riches, things, or events. The source of happiness, as revealed in this insightful, inspiring, and infinitely practical book, is to be found in the way we choose to live our lives.
Truly happy people make conscious decisions about how they will confront all of life's challenges. In the face of sometimes overwhelming circumstances, they create happiness by making the same nine internal, principle-centered choices.
The people whose stories illuminate this book, representing a wide range of ages, and economic, social, political, and religious backgrounds, all make an active commitment to be happy. They are accountable for their own actions, thoughts, and feelings. They identify what makes them happy and make it central to their lives. Happy people find meaning and emotional energy in every event. They are flexible and open to life's many options. They appreciate what they have, and give unceasingly with no expectation of a "return." Happy people are truthful with themselves and others.
How We Choose to Be Happy explores the nine choices that extremely happy people make, and shows how anyone can follow these tenets to create a unique personal experience.

Helping women who are past the initial heartbreak but not yet ready to break out of their dumped shell, this book is the perfect follow-up to Lisa Steadman's esteemed It's a Breakup, Not a Breakdown.

"Part spiritual memoir, part philosophical treatise and part religious history, Thurman's book is a passionate declaration of the possibilities of renewing the world." -- "Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
The need for change as we get older--an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another--is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives--not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood--when it's time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born.
The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening.
In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called "middle age" need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we've never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination--thought-forms that don't flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50.
What we've learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill--not a destiny of a life that's simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived.
Midlife is not a crisis; it's a time of rebirth. It's not a time to accept your death; it's a time to accept your .life--and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.
There is a way to experience a better life.
Are you ready to become the person God has called you to be? In A Life Beyond Amazing, bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah uncovers God's strategy for change and challenges you to make nine important decisions that will transform your heart, your life, and your world.
This life-changing book explores the nine qualities of character that carry us forward. Three of these have to do with our relationship with ourselves, three deal with interactions with other people, and three of them focus on our relationship with God. Spiritual principles are true in any situation. But we must make a conscious decision to employ them in our daily lives.
God has given us wisdom for these days. A Life Beyond Amazing answers the questions that keep us up at night and shows that the way forward is a reminder of who we are in Christ and why it matters.

If you're stuck at the midlife crossroads, wondering "what's next", Midlife Magic provides a powerful first step for your midlife renewal adventure.
To begin your journey, the author guides you through an easy-to-follow, self-care program in seven days.
- On each day, you join the author in a different locale as she travels the world on her own midlife voyage and discovers a self-care skill she desperately needs.
-Then you learn to develop this skill yourself with specific instructions and real-life examples from other midlife women the author has advised and coached.
-Finally, you select one action step (from a list of many) to put into practice that very day.
By the end of the week with your personal self-care plan in place, you will be a stronger and more resilient midlife traveler-ready to embark on your adventure with a smile on your face.
This book was prompted by Bonnie Leonard's own midlife sabbatical travels when her younger son headed off to college and she faced an empty nest. After a series of misadventures and encounters, she began to understand how little she attended to her own needs. Like many women, she devoted years to raising her children in addition to her work, which involved caring for the graduate students she taught at Lesley University.
Later when the author became the Dean of Continuing Education for return-to-college women at Wellesley College and then a Midlife Coach for Women, she came to understand the critical role self care plays for any woman navigating the midlife passage.
This insight from her professional and personal experiences motivated her to write Midlife Magic: The 7 Day Self-Care Plan to Boost Your Energy and Make You Smile. In this book, Leonard offers women a practical and user-friendly way to become a hearty and happy midlife traveler.
Here, the teacher, scientist, and clinician who first demonstrated the benefits of mindfulness within mainstream Western medicine offers a book that you can use in three unique ways: as a collection of reflections and practices to be opened and explored at random; as an illuminating and engaging start-to-finish read; or as an unfolding "lesson- a-day" primer on mindfulness practice.
Beginning and advanced meditators alike will discover in these pages a valuable distillation of the key attitudes and essential practices that Jon Kabat-Zinn has found most useful with his students, including:

With a fresh, honest--and at times even skeptical--approach, John discusses how he first discovered, then gradually developed, his psychic ability to foretell events and communicate with the deceased. He also provides accounts of his most compelling readings, how they helped heal the scars of grief and gave way to more fulfilling lives for the living--lives where loved ones never cease to love you, and never really die... In an all-new chapter, written especially for this paperback edition, he also empowers readers to tune in to their own psychic abilities--and read and understand signs of spiritual contact they may be experiencing every day without even knowing it.
