Words to Live By

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From New York Times bestselling author and beloved Today show co-host Hoda Kotb comes an inspiring collection of quotes that offer wisdom, courage, and hope—the perfect gift for Mother's Day! Several years ago, Today show co-host Hoda Kotb began posting a variety of quotes on her Instagram page. Some were penned by a favorite writer; others offered a dose of love or laughter. She thought the quotes were meaningful only to her, but soon a funny thing started happening—reactions poured in from thousands of people who were just as moved. The quotes weren't only providing inspiration to Hoda, they were comforting and connecting people. So many of their comments read, “I really needed this today,” a phrase that inspired the book's title. In I Really Needed This Today, Hoda not only shares 365 sayings and quotes, she writes about the people and experiences that have pushed her to challenge boundaries, embrace change, and explore relationships to their fullest. Written with her signature wit and warmth, this book is the ideal companion to tuck beside your bed or to bring with you on-the-go to keep you motivated, recharged, and inspired each day.

Words That Inspired Him

This personally selected collection of essays, poems, stories, and quotations were inspirational to the father of positive thinking, Norman Vincent Peale, in his lifetime. He truly believed we can change our lives by changing our mental attitudes. The words and thoughts of great writers and thinkers can help us to develop a mindset that looks for the best in everything. Dr. Peale hoped that sharing these words from the Bible, Cicero, Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Dale Carnegie, and so many more would in, ire and help others to achieve the power to succeed.
