A moving picture book debut about depression, sensory awareness, and the power of listening, from psychologist and author of Teaching Kids to be Kind. Coen is having a sniffling, sighing, sobbing kind of day. His family thinks they know how to cheer him up. His dad wants to go outside and play, Mom tells her funniest joke, and his little sister shares her favorite teddy. Nothing helps. But one by one, they get quiet and begin to listen. After some time, space, and reassurance, Coen is able to show them what he needs. With poignant text and stunning illustrations, A Blue Kind of Day explores how depression might feel in the body and shows us how to support the people we love with patience, care, and empathy.

Seeing my father in his hospital bed, I realized how much joy my father had missed out on. When I was growing up, he was always so busy working. I don't think he took the time to appreciate the simple things until way later in life. Even in his last few months, his frustration with traffic, people, and the hospital dictated his happiness levels.I knew that I needed to appreciate life more. It was possible, but I lacked an important skill-one I hadn't learned in the first forty years of my life. That skill was being grateful every chance I had.I started by focusing on the big things in my life, then kept going deeper to enjoy the little things. Along the way, my productivity and happiness grew. My gratitude practice healed me in the midst of one of the toughest years I've ever experienced.

What are you grateful for? What traditions hold special meaning for your family? What wisdoms guide your life? Whose story inspires you? This collection of nearly 100 personal stories will encourage readers to pause and reflect about issues that are truly meaningful in their lives. "30 Days" started as a blog during Ramadan sharing the personal stories of a Muslim family, but grew into an international storytelling platform that connects people of all backgrounds around things we universally value -- sharing kindness and doing good deeds, expressing gratitude and sincere wishes, cherishing traditions and wisdom from our elders. This handmade, commemorative, limited-edition volume, enhanced by exquisite artwork -- illuminations, miniature paintings, and calligraphy -- is intended to spark conversations between young and old, friends and strangers, and families of all traditions and configurations. After all, sharing stories helps us get to know each other better; it helps develop trust, build a connection, and start a friendship.

One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach. Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year. One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around. 365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.

The life you dream for yourself doesn't need to live perpetually in your imagination. You can bring your dreams to fruition and truly live out the life you imagine for yourself, if you know what you want and practice attracting it to you on a regular basis. In Life The Life You Imagined, you will create your ideal dream life and then learn how to attract it to you through the consistent physical practice of simple, time-tested techniques: gratitude, affirmations, daily intentions, mindfulness, visualizations, and love. You, too, can live the life you imagine, if you decide you want to. Cozy up, settle in, and craft your perfect daily routine for attracting whatever it is you want in life. This journal is ideal for someone who doesn't yet understand the power of visualization, gratitude, affirmations or mindfulness. Practicing these techniques can have big, beautiful results if practiced consistently. Typically, humans don't execute on these very primal attraction techniques, because it either seems too simple (how could visualization possibly work?) or too difficult (I don't have time to write out gratitude statements every day.) Make it easy for yourself and commit to 30 days of journalling to solidify these tested techniques. Commit to yourself and see what grows.
