Advice You Should Probably (Not) Follow

From the creators of the super-popular Instagram @MyTherapistSays comes this humorous guide for navigating the daily struggle that is life. Including hilarious memes from their Instagram, along with checklists, prompts, questions from readers, and more, My Therapist Says is here to remind you that you are not alone in how you feel. Combining heartfelt wisdom from the authors' own experiences (which is not always therapist approved) with solid advice from their therapist (which the authors often disagree with), My Therapist Says delivers witty guidance in those areas of life that continually stress us out: Socializing Friendships Dating Relationships Career Goals Adulting The Future Self-Love With a chapter on astrology thrown into the mix (hey, why not?), My Therapist Says acknowledges that no one's life is perfect (especially the authors') and have created a guide that is relatable, amusing, and helpful. So, you be you (okay, maybe that's not the best idea) and go ahead and laugh at them (and yourself), because everything is going to be just fine (hopefully).

Waldo JaPussy

In the few years since The Tao of Meow was first published, Waldo Japussy has become a cult figure, receiving fan mail not only from other cats but from human beings as well! His book has gone through 18 printings and is still gaining momentum! The Tao of Meow is an original philosophic statement by Waldo, who was the eldest cat in the household of Rose and Carl Japikse. Carl was about to throw away papers that had been "ruined" by Waldo walking on them, when he realized that the paw prints formed a coherent pattern. Carl sat down to try to make sense of Waldo's "writings." Months later, he had deciphered the text of a poem that rivaled in beauty and content Lao Tzu's ancient verses, the Tao Te Ching -- from a cat's purrspective.

Susan R. Barry

Oliver Sacks

A Scientist's Journey into Seeing in Three Dimensions

When neuroscientist Susan Barry was fifty years old, she took an unforgettable trip to Manhattan. As she emerged from the dim light of the subway into the sunshine, she saw a view of the city that she had witnessed many times in the past but now saw in an astonishingly new way. Skyscrapers on street corners appeared to loom out toward her like the bows of giant ships. Tree branches projected upward and outward, enclosing and commanding palpable volumes of space. Leaves created intricate mosaics in 3D. With each glance, she experienced the deliriously novel sense of immersion in a three dimensional world. Barry had been cross-eyed and stereoblind since early infancy. After half a century of perceiving her surroundings as flat and compressed, on that day she was seeing Manhattan in stereo depth for first time in her life. As a neuroscientist, she understood just how extraordinary this transformation was, not only for herself but for the scientific understanding of the human brain. Scientists have long believed that the brain is malleable only during a “critical period” in early childhood. According to this theory, Barry’s brain had organized itself when she was a baby to avoid double vision – and there was no way to rewire it as an adult. But Barry found an optometrist who prescribed a little-known program of vision therapy; after intensive training, Barry was ultimately able to accomplish what other scientists and even she herself had once considered impossible. A revelatory account of the brain’s capacity for change, Fixing My Gaze describes Barry’s remarkable journey and celebrates the joyous pleasure of our senses.

A Life. a Choice. a Legacy

A New York Times bestseller What would you do in the last hour of your life? The story of Welles Crowther, whose actions on 9/11 offer a lasting lesson on character, calling and courage One Sunday morning before church, when Welles Crowther was a young boy, his father gave him a red handkerchief for his back pocket. Welles kept it with him that day, and just about every day to come; it became a fixture and his signature. A standout athlete growing up in Upper Nyack, NY, Welles was also a volunteer at the local fire department, along with his father. He cherished the necessity and the camaraderie, the meaning of the role. Fresh from college, he took a Wall Street job on the 104th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, but the dream of becoming a firefighter with the FDNY remained. When the Twin Towers fell, Welles’s parents had no idea what happened to him. In the unbearable days that followed, they came to accept that he would never come home. But the mystery of his final hours persisted. Eight months after the attacks, however, Welles’s mother read a news account from several survivors, badly hurt on the 78th floor of the South Tower, who said they and others had been led to safety by a stranger, carrying a woman on his back, down nearly twenty flights of stairs. After leading them down, the young man turned around. “I’m going back up,” was all he said. The survivors didn’t know his name, but despite the smoke and panic, one of them remembered a single detail clearly: the man was wearing a red bandanna. Tom Rinaldi’s The Red Bandanna is about a fearless choice, about a crucible of terror and the indomitable spirit to answer it. Examining one decision in the gravest situation, it celebrates the difference one life can make.

William H. McRaven

Little Things That Can Change Your Life... and Maybe the World

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 21, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.
