The Happy Leader, written by highly regarded entrepreneur, happiness, and business coach Shawn Johal, is a life-changing story about human transformation–from the triumph over grief, despair, and frustration to the powerful healing brought on by forgiveness.

Warning! The Happy Leader can revolutionize your life by opening your heart and mind to new possibilities, a fresh perspective, and the inspiration to take action. You might even find yourself signing up for a marathon! The Happy Leader, at its heart, is a story that tells us happiness and success are within our reach, and all we need is for someone to nudge us in the right direction.

A leading expert on health psychology, well-being, and resilience argues that happiness is the key to fast tracking our professional and personal success.

Everyone wants to be happy and successful. And yet the pursuit of both has never been more elusive. As work and personal demands rise, we try to keep up by juggling everything better, moving faster, and doing more. While we might succeed in the short term, it comes at a cost to our well-being, relationships, and, paradoxically, our productivity. In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppala, the science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University and director of the Yale College Emotional Intelligence Project, explains that our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment is tied to common but outdated notions about success. We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that’s thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents; and that achievement cannot happen without stress.

The Happiness Track demolishes these counter-productive theories. Drawing on the latest findings from the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience–research on happiness, resilience, willpower, compassion, positive stress, creativity, mindfulness–Seppala shows that finding happiness and fulfillment may, in fact, be the most productive thing we can do to thrive professionally. Filled with practical advice on how to apply these scientific findings to our daily lives, The Happiness Track is a life-changing guide to fast tracking our success and creating the anxiety-free life we want.

In this broken world, each of us has the same moment-by-moment choice. We can either unfurl the white flag of surrender and allow the bad things to roll over us or we can dig in our heels, stand our ground, and put up a fight. How? It’s all about the attitude we decide to embrace. We can’t change the inevitable. But we can change how we respond.

After all, life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. Since pastor and bestselling author Charles Swindoll wrote those inspiring words, they’ve been shared over sixty-five million times across the globe. Now, join Swindoll as he explores the life-changing impact of looking at life through the lens of our reactions.

This isn’t your average self-help book. Each chapter of Life Is 10% What Happens to You and 90% How You React is filled with timeless teachings, applicable Scripture, and thoughtful reflection questions. Reimagined from content found in Swindoll’s bestsellers Active Spirituality and Laugh Again, Life Is 10% What Happens to You and 90% How You React gives you the tools and encouragement you need to:

• Find joy no matter what season you’re living through
• Overcome life’s dilemmas and build inner resilience
• Defuse disharmony and free yourself from drama
• Maintain balance, extend grace to yourself, and be prosperous
• Lean on your Christian faith and its foundational views

Within these pages, Swindoll isn’t promising joy or endless bliss. Instead, he offers practical wisdom that will equip you with the basic fundamentals to make better decisions, move past your past, and find peace in every day. Because life isn’t simply about what happens to you…it’s about how you react.

The strongest lifeline is the one that leads you back to the gut of who you truly are.

You’re burned out, lost, and rudderless. Susie deVille was where you may be now: drowning in debt, in the grip of unhealthy habits, with a marriage and business that had come crashing against the rocks.

Today she is thriving. Not only did she dig out from debt, she paid for her children’s educations in cash, funded her retirement, and embraced a healthy and joyful lifestyle. Most of all, by reconnecting with her creativity, she reclaimed her confident, true self and discovered how to draw her ideal clients right to her. And in Buoyant, she teaches how you, too, can tap into your innate creativity to find your way back to feeling more alive as you effortlessly connect with and captivate your market.

In this transformational guide, deVille shares life-changing insights and exercises, along with her personal journey and those of clients, to take you on a Creative Rebel’s Voyage(tm). As you travel this path, you’ll discover how to transmute feelings of overwhelm and fear into decisive action and confidence.

The prevalent advice to entrepreneurs is broken: go all-in, maximize productivity at all costs, and live to work. There is a much easier path to success, joy, and flow. It’s time to wake up, stir your soul, and reach your intuitive longings. Will you accept the grand adventure of living your inspired, true nature?

Beloved evangelist Billy Graham understood the flurry of modern life and the constant temptation of busyness.

Each daily passage in Peace for Each Day invites you to joyfully engage with Scripture as you meditate on God’s peace–peace that can be found whatever the circumstances, whatever the calling, whatever the future holds.

As Graham wrote, “Millions are searching for [peace], but we Christians have found it! It is ours now and forever.” Peace for Each Day makes a beautiful gift book for men and women of all ages for:

Foreword by Dave and Ashley Willis, authors of The Naked Marriage and hosts of The Naked Marriage Podcast

A husband-wife team offers practical advice for married couples to end the cycle of reactionary arguments by examining the most common issues that trigger disagreements and applying God’s Word to radically transform relationships.

Many couples know their marriage has room for improvement, but it is hard to pinpoint exactly why a relationship is suffering. Often times everyday triggers are the culprit. If you are wondering how to break out of the cycle of reactionary outbursts, cold shoulders, resentment, and pain that harms your relationship, you are not alone. Experiencing peace and joy rather than anger and frustration is not as hard as you think!

Marriage Triggers walks you through thirty-one of the most common marital issues that sabotage great relationships, like poor communication, lack of spiritual leadership, busy schedules, and different parenting styles. Married for fourteen years, authors Amber and Guy Lia are your typical couple and they share tips for countering negative reactions to triggers with gentle, biblical responses.

Rather than run from the things that cause conflict, Amber and Guy believe these triggers are opportunities for growth, both individually and as a couple. They challenge you to let Marriage Triggers renew your commitment to responding gently and biblically towards your partner.

Foreword by Ashley Judd

“Rosenfeld’s tour-de-force takes the power of female alliances to a higher level, giving us a road map for a new vision of women’s equality through the relationships and bonds we form among one another. The gift of this book is that it gives us hope.”–Valerie Jarrett, New York Times bestselling author of Finding My Voice, and former senior advisor to President Barack Obama

The Bonobo Sisterhood is a revolutionary call to action for women and their allies to protect one another from patriarchal violence. Internationally recognized legal expert Diane L. Rosenfeld introduces us to a groundbreaking new model of female solidarity; one that promises to thwart sexual coercion.

Urgent, timely, and original, The Bonobo Sisterhood harnesses the power of the #MeToo movement into a road map for sex equality in humans. Our closest evolutionary cousins, the bonobos have a unique social order in which the females protect one another from male aggression. The takeaway? Evolutionarily, bonobos have eliminated sexual coercion and enjoy a more peaceful, cooperative, and playful existence. We have much to learn from them.

Rosenfeld explores the implications of the bonobo model for human societies and systems of governance. How did law develop to elude women’s rights so consistently? What difference does it make that we live in a patriarchal democracy? And what do bonobos have to offer as living proof that patriarchy is not inevitable? Most important, how can women break down barriers among themselves to unleash their power as a unified force? Rosenfeld has answers.

The Bonobo Sisterhood takes us through real-life stories from the courtroom to the classroom and beyond, charting a new vision of a collective self-defense among women and their allies. It offers an action plan accessible to everyone immediately. This is an open invitation to anyone who wants to challenge the status quo. It starts with the power inherent in each of us knowing that we have selves worth defending, and awakening that power for ourselves and for our sisters. We now have a new model for real change, Rosenfeld reminds us. It’s time to use it.

The Bonobo Sisterhood forges a path to create and discover a new meaning of equality, liberty, and justice for all.

Relationship coach Denna Babul is here to tell women the real truth: you have to change your narrative to change your life.

The search for love is a booming business in the United States. There is speed dating, matchmaking, online dating, and every other modality under the sun to help women find love. However, finding love is not the issue. Finding the right love and sustaining it is where the difficulty lies.

More than any other time in history, women are facing their problems head-on. They want it all–the white picket fence, the career, the love of their lives, and two adorable children to wrap it all up in a well-deserved bow. When love evades them over and over again, they want to know why.

In her experience as a relationship coach, Denna Babul sees women start to panic, looking for answers when they feel their dreams begin to lose shape while everyone else’s lives are coming together. If this sounds familiar, then Denna’s proven methodology and quick wit will transform the way you approach love. Her candid and wildly proven process will educate women with relationship dilemmas on how to move on from the wrong guy, stop wasting time trying to figure out what happened, and get back to looking within themselves for the real answers.

To experience the best life that God intends for you, you must learn to live fully, love completely, and lead boldly — the hallmarks of Jesus’ time on earth.

Brian Houston now shares his transformative approach to the Christian life, through practical tools and inspiring teaching that will help you identify your unique gifts and reenergize your faith, no matter where you are in your relationship with God. Each daily experience includes:

• Today’s Scripture: A Scripture to meditate on to recalibrate your mind and receive God’s restoration.
• Today’s Excerpt: A key truth about living, loving, and leading that will enable you to follow the greatest Guide ever to walk the path of life — Jesus.
• Today’s Thought: An uplifting, liberating, and meaningful thought to start the day with God.
• Today’s Reflection: A place to journal your thoughts and reflections.
• Today’s Prayer: A simple but powerful prayer to help you express your heart to God.

Bestselling author Robert Morgan offers ten strategies for dealing with hard times and discouragements in order to move from fear to faith–a divine protocol for handling life. The Red Sea Rules has been updated with new study questions.

Life is hard, especially for Christians. It is certain that we will face difficulties and that God will allow them. But just as certain is the fact that the same God who led us in will lead us out. As The Red Sea Rules makes comfortingly clear, He is in control.

Using the Israelites’ story in Exodus 14 as an example, Robert Morgan offers ten sound strategies for moving from fear to faith. Just as Moses and the Israelites became trapped between Pharaoh’s rushing armies and the uncrossable Red Sea, so are we sometimes overwhelmed by life’s problems.

In The Red Sea Rules, you will learn strategies to:

• Realize that God means for you to be where you are
• Acknowledge your enemy, but keep your eyes on the Lord
• Stay calm and confident, and give God time to work
• View your current crisis as a faith builder for the future

The Red Sea Rules reveals that even in the midst of seemingly impossible situations, God promises to make a way for us. His loving guidance will protect us through danger, illness, marital strife, financial problems, or whatever challenges Satan places in our path.

Study questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

What if we stopped avoiding the difficult people in our lives and committed to simply loving everybody? What happens when we give away love like we’re made of it? In Everybody, Always, Bob Goff’s joyful New York Times bestselling follow-up to Love Does, you’ll discover the secret to living without fear, constraint, or worry.

Bob teaches us that the path toward the outsized, unfettered, liberated existence we all long for is found in one simple truth: love people, even the difficult ones, without distinction and without limits.

In Everybody, Always, Bob shows us the simple truths about life that have the power to shift our mindset forever:

• Jesus uses our blind spots to reveal himself to us
• It’s easy to love kind, lovely, humble people, but you have to tackle fear in order to love people who are difficult
• What we do with our love will become the conversations we have with God
• Dark and scary places are filled with beautiful people who need our unconditional love
• Extravagant love has extraordinary power to change lives, including our own

Driven by Bob’s trademark storytelling, this book reveals the wisdom Bob learned–often the hard way–about what it means to love without inhibition, insecurity, or restriction. From finding the right friends to discovering the upside of failure, Everybody, Always points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible.

Whether losing his shoes while skydiving solo or befriending a Ugandan witch doctor, Bob steps into life with a no-limits embrace of others that is as infectious as it is extraordinarily ordinary. Everybody, Always reveals how we can do the same.

10 principles for leading your family to True Resilience, from the bestselling author of Spartan Up and the CEO/founder of Spartan

Joe De Sena has spent his life running toward challenge and discomfort. Why? Because how we react to challenging situations defines us and our families. The only tools we have as humans to survive the many peaks and valleys of a full life are preparedness, health, leadership, and most importantly, resilience. Why do so many parents struggle to finish things we start, delay gratification, and protect our health–and why do our kids continue to struggle in every facet of life? Because we haven’t showed them a path to resilience, and we haven’t fought for it ourselves.

In 10 Rules for Resilience Joe De Sena outlines his 10 principles for leading your family to True Resilience, a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It takes True Resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.

A remarkable vision for how Christians can live with countercultural gentleness in a perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.

“Wow! What a great book!” — Max Lucado

In a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to “turn away wrath?” Scott Sauls’s compelling new audiobook points the way by helping listeners:

• grow in affection for Christ, who answers our hostility with gentleness;
• nurture a renewed, softened heart in light of Christ’s gentleness toward us;
• and forsake us-against-them mentalities, putting down our swords, and permeating a hostile world with gentleness.

For those who long for a more civil way of being, A Gentle Answer provides an inspiring and transformative path for countercultural gentleness in our perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.

Reflection questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

“I can’t think of a more needed and timely book.”

–Dr. Paul David Tripp bestselling author of New Morning Mercies

“Reminds us of the essential and needed attribute of gentleness in a world steeped in outrage and cancel culture.”

–Dr. Bryan Loritts, author of The Dad Difference

“An urgent book for our fractured times.”

–Jen Pollock Michel, award-winning author of Surprised by Paradox

An acclaimed philosopher and new father argues that engaging with beauty can make life worth living

You didn’t choose to live this life, in this body, in these conditions–this delicate and difficult life. Yet when you consider that your existence is fleeting, an inspired sense of urgency can spring forth. Say you often hike with a friend. One day, they propose that you skydive instead. You’re wavering, and they insist: Come on. You only live once! And soon you’re flying through the air. Why embrace a life you did not choose?

In This Beauty, philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These cliches are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather’s watch because it is irreplaceable.

Drawing on insights from aesthetics and his experiences as a professional skater and new father, Riggle shows us how we can understand the idea that life is beautiful enough to bear repeating. Insightful and deeply humane, This Beauty offers a personal and searching inquiry into the mystery of life’s beauty.

A poignant, inspirational story about football, family, and love from Bill Cowher, the Super Bowl-winning, Hall-of-Fame Pittsburgh Steelers coach, and cohost of CBS’s The NFL Today.

Long before the Lombardi Trophy, the Golden Hall of Fame jacket, and successful TV career, legendary head coach Bill Cowher was simply “Billy from Crafton.

Born and raised just fifteen minutes from old Three Rivers Stadium, it was in Crafton where the foundation of Cowher’s irrepressible work ethic, passion for teaching, and love of football and the Pittsburgh Steelers were built. Now, for the first time, Cowher will shine a light on a life filled with success, achieved through will and resilience in situations which, often times, appeared to be hopeless.

In Heart and Steel, Cowher will take you on his journey from childhood to the undersized, mohawked, disco-dancing North Carolina State linebacker, to fighting for a spot as a “bubble player” with the Browns and Eagles, before injuries ended his playing career. Bill will discuss how that same drive led to his big coaching break, running Special Teams for Marty Schottenheimer and the Cleveland Browns at just twenty-seven-years-old, before taking over the Pittsburgh Steelers just seven years later. Cowher will reveal exclusive, never-before-told anecdotes and candid thoughts on the biggest games, players, and moments that defined his fifteen-year Steelers tenure.

But this is more than a “football story.”

In 2010, Bill lost his beloved wife, Kaye, and father, Laird, within three months of one another. It forced him, yet again, to summon that resiliency to unearth a stronger version of himself–not only so he could march on, but to add a deeper level to the loving, supportive father his three daughters had always known.

Cowher’s learned many lessons in his life; as a father, grandfather, husband, coach, and broadcaster. He will show you how you can continue to grow by embracing transition, personally and professionally, through renewed perspective and social consciousness.

“Billy from Crafton” has come a long way. Through love and conviction, Cowher’s achieved more than he ever could have dreamed of. You can, too, with the same heart and steel.

I forgive you.

Three simple words behind which sits an intriguing and complex concept. These words can be used to absolve a meaningless squabble, or said to someone who has caused you great harm. They can liberate you from guilt, or consciously place blame on your shoulders.

Forgiveness can often be perceived as saccharine and overtly religious, something just for the spiritually superior or mentally strong. But really it is a gritty, risky concept that is so often relevant to our ordinary everyday lives. Forgiveness explores the subject from every angle, coming from a place of enquiry rather than persuasion, presenting it as an offering, never a prescription.

Marina Cantacuzino seeks to investigate, unpick and debate the limits and possibilities of forgiveness – in our relationships, for our physical and mental wellbeing, how it plays out in international politics and within the criminal justice system, and where it intersects with religious faith. Cantacuzino speaks to people across the globe who have considered forgiveness in different forms and circumstances. She talks to a survivor of Auschwitz; to someone who accidentally killed a friend; to people who have lost loved ones in acts of violence; to a former combatant in The Troubles as well as to the daughter of someone he murdered.

Through these real stories, expert opinion and the author’s experience from two decades working in this field, the reader gets to better understand what forgiveness is and what it most definitely isn’t, how it can be an important element in breaking the cycle of suffering, and ultimately how it might help transform fractured relationships and mend broken hearts.

Begin each day with gratitude, good humor, and faith with these companion readings for Joel Osteen’s #1 New York Times bestseller Every Day a Friday and see God’s gifts more clearly than ever before.

This 90-day devotional incorporates excerpts from the original book emphasizing faith-building messages day to day; along with additional supportive and encouraging material in the form of key Bible verses, daily prayers, and daily thoughts.

Divided into seven key sections, each building on the next, the format helps readers to put events and circumstances in perspective, and to give them a mental, emotional and spiritual lift each and every day.

It’s a letter with advice … it’s Ruskin Bond’s definition of Life!

Be whatever you want to be…

Give it your heart and soul, and you will have made something of your life, my friend. You are all my sons and daughters when it comes to telling you —

HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.

— Ruskin Bond

A book packed with all the good advice anyone, any age, would love and benefit from because it is sound wisdom distilled from the wonderful life and times of the inimitable Ruskin Bond, unmistakably one of India’s most popular authors.

Each piece of valuable advice is worth its weight in gold!

Billy Graham shares God’s gentle, reassuring promise of spiritual calm—of authentic personal peace—amidst a personal life wracked with too much stress, too many burdens, too great a heartache.

In Peace with God Billy Graham asks God to help this book “find its way into the hands and hearts of a lost, confused, and searching world . . . men, women, and young people everywhere [who] thirst for peace with God.”

In spite of a life drenched with responsibilities and rewards, are you thirsting? Searching for some nameless thing that is more important than anything in life? You are not alone. All mankind is seeking the answer to the confusion, the moral sickness, the spiritual emptiness that oppresses the world. All humanity is crying out for guidance, for comfort . . .for peace.

Reverend Graham shares God’s gentle, reassuring promise of spiritual calm—of authentic personal peace—amidst a personal life wracked with too much stress, too many burdens, too great a heartache.

“I know men who would write a check for a million dollars if they could find peace,” writes Reverend Graham. “Millions are searching for it. But we Christians have found it! It is ours now and forever. We have found the secret of life! . . .When your spouse dies or your children get sick or you lose your job, you can have a peace that you don’t understand. You may have tears at a graveside, but you can have an abiding peace, a quietness.

“God’s peace can be in your heart—right now . . .Whatever the circumstances, whatever the call, whatever the duty, whatever the price, whatever the sacrifice—His strength will be your strength in your hour of need. “It’s all yours, and it’s free. You don’t have to work for it . . . . Do not put it off.”

All of This is for You is balm for anyone feeling lost and detached from today’s confusing, hectic world. In her heartfelt notes, Ruby Jones reminds us that even when times are tough, it remains important to be kind and gentle with ourselves and those around us.

The image was accompanied by an extraordinary message of empathy and understanding: “This is your home and you should have been safe here.”

A beacon of hope and kindness, All of This is for You is for every one of us, because no matter the individual issue–whether it’s self-image, identity, depression, grief, or anxiety–we all struggle with challenges. Jones’s soothing insights are a breath of fresh air during tough times, and a reminder of humanity’s inherent and enduring goodness.
