Survival Lessons
The New York Times-bestselling author and cancer survivor tells how to hold on to joy in times of sorrow in this "absolutely beautiful book" (Sue Monk Kidd). The prize-winning author of such modern literary classics as Practical Magic, The World That We Knew, and The Marriage of Opposites, Alice Hoffman is also a cancer survivor. In Survival Lessons, she shares her transformative journey, showing us how to re-envision our own lives and relationships with our friends and family, and the significance of the everyday choices we make.

Unattached: A Year of Heartache, Hiking, and Learning How to Love
Everyone thinks 33-year-old travel writer Reannon Muth is brave for backpacking through dozens of countries on her own. But what Reannon's friends, travel blog readers, and boyfriend don't know is Reannon has an anxiety disorder that makes it difficult for her to get close to people. She's afraid to ask for help, she's afraid to be vulnerable, but most of all, she's afraid to be herself. When Reannon suffers a stunning loss, her fearless faade begins to crumble, and she decides to hike Mount Whitney--the tallest mountain in the contiguous US. But as she embarks on her biggest adventure yet, Reannon realizes if she has any hope of healing, she must face her fears or risk losing everything, including her one chance at real love.

Aging Well: Surprising Guideposts to a Happier Life from the Landmark Study of Adult Development
In an unprecedented series of studies, Harvard Medical School has followed 824 subjects -- men and women, some rich, some poor -- from their teens to old age. Harvard's George Vaillant now uses these studies -- the most complete ever done anywhere in the world -- and the subjects' individual histories to illustrate the factors involved in reaching a happy, healthy old age. He explains precisely why some people turn out to be more resilient than others, the complicated effects of marriage and divorce, negative personality changes, and how to live a more fulfilling, satisfying and rewarding life in the later years. He shows why a person's background has less to do with their eventual happiness than the specific lifestyle choices they make. And he offers step-by-step advice about how each of
