Throughout our lives we circle around the same 20 Questions, again and again. Inside this book are those questions--and the answers that saved my life. Life gets easier when we brave the hard questions, together. --Glennon Doyle

We all ask ourselves the same 20 Questions again and again. Among them:

Why am I like this? How do I know what to do? Why can't I be happy? Why am I so angry? How do I let go?

Facing these questions is uncomfortable. The answers are complicated. But Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle have learned that life gets easier when we are brave enough to name the hard questions and discover our answers. They created this book to make that healing a joyful, shared process.

With its immersive, bold design, We Can Do Hard Things overflows with wisdom, comfort, and inspiration. Glennon, Abby, and Amanda describe their own soul-shifting realizations, and share the most transformative lessons they have learned over years of conversations with world-renowned teachers and everyday visionaries. We Can Do Hard Things is a gift to be given to friends when you can't find the right words; it is a guide to be passed to the next generation.

As Glennon says, This book is like your most trusted friend who wraps her arms around you and comforts you as she clears your head, calms your heart, and untangles your pain. It is full of the courage, wisdom, and solidarity that healed me, and we created it to be that for you, too.

Find your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days.

Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years. --Japanese proverb

According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai--a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world's longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai--where what you love, what you're good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap--means that each day is infused with meaning. It's the reason we get up in the morning. It's also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there's no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they've found a real purpose in life--the happiness of always being busy.

In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds--one of the world's Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and--their best-kept secret--how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn't want to find happiness in every day?

What's your ikigai?

Women Living Deliciously wants us to fall in love with our lives. It will help women uncover the sense of awe and wonder that has been buried by the layers of shame, perfectionism and self-objectification that get piled on us by the patriarchy. For too long we have internalized the belief that our bodies are things to be looked at--instead of lived in. That it's embarrassing to fully express ourselves. That we cannot trust the parts of ourselves that are so full of desire.

International-bestselling author Florence Given wants to restore your lust for life and your sense of agency, giving you the courage and permission to inch closer to the wildly expansive life that you FULLY deserve--not in the future, not when you're perfect, not when you're prettier--but right now.

The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change our lives. Drawing from her long studies of happiness, and also from the challenges she's faced herself, writer Gretchen Rubin has discovered the Secrets of Adulthood that can help us manage the complexities of life. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism--the ancient literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words.

Perhaps you're paralyzed by indecision, struggling to navigate a big change, fighting a temptation, or puzzled by the behavior of someone you love; whatever you face, the right aphorism can help. From procrastination to the pursuit of happiness, Secrets of Adulthood is filled with witty and thought-provoking reflections such as:

• Recognize that, like sleeping with a big dog in a small bed, things that are uncomfortable can also be comforting
• Accept yourself, and expect more from yourself
• Easy children raise good parents
• What can be done at any time is often done at no time

A blend of mindset science, original research, and cultural insights for cultivating a positive wintertime mindset, to vanquish winter blues and find joy and comfort in dark times year-round.

Do you dread the end of Daylight Saving Time and grouch about the long, chilly season of gray skies and ice? Do you find yourself in a slump every January and February? What if there were a way to rethink this time of year? Psychologist and winter expert Kari Leibowitz's galvanizing HOW TO WINTER uses mindset science to help readers embrace winter as a season to be enjoyed, not endured--and in turn, learn powerful lessons that can impact our mental wellbeing throughout the year.

Kari Leibowitz moved above the Arctic Circle - where the sun doesn't rise for two months each winter -expecting to research the season's negative effects on mental health, only to find that inhabitants actually looked forward to it with delight and enthusiasm. Leibowitz has since travelled to places on earth with some of the coldest, darkest, longest and most intense winters, and discovered the power of wintertime mindset-- viewing the season as full of opportunity and wonder. Impactful strategies for cultivating this wintertime mindset can teach us not just about braving the gray, cold months of the year, but also the darker and more difficult seasons of life.

• In Troms , Norway, people live in rhythm with nature, adapting to the months-long Polar Night by honoring seasonal fluctuations in energy, slowing down, and resting more.
• On the Isle of Lewis, off the coast of Scotland, communal gatherings around roaring fires embrace darkness and provide connection during long nights.
• In Yamagata, Japan, families sink into steaming onsen baths, banishing the chill of winter with healthful soaks that improve sleep and reduce risk of heart attack.

What is happiness?

This can be challenging for some to define. We know happiness when we feel it, but we often come up short when trying to put those feelings into words. The intensity of happy feelings causes us to believe that the foundation of our happiness lies in our emotions. This could not be further from the truth. In fact, searching for happiness as an emotional objective will often lead you to being less happy.

The foundation of your happiness is not emotional-it is a structural framework. Think about it, as you go through life, you experience the emotion of happiness for different reasons. There are things you do or don't do, and there are things that happen or don't happen that cause you to experience happiness. In this way, the emotion of happiness is the byproduct of a framework.

Chasing the emotion of happiness will leave you exhausted and unfulfilled. Building a framework where happiness is a constant, dependable, and natural output, is something you can do, and I will show you how. I will also show you how to maintain and optimize what you have built. Your happiness is important, and you should be intentional about it.

Embrace Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) and become happier with this definitive guide to the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being.

Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is Hygge. Loosely translated, Hygge--pronounced Hoo-ga--is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience, Wiking explains. It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe.

Hygge is the sensation you get when you're cuddled up on a sofa, in cozy socks under a soft throw, during a storm. It's that feeling when you're sharing comfort food and easy conversation with loved ones at a candlelit table. It is the warmth of morning light shining just right on a crisp blue-sky day.

The Little Book of Hygge introduces you to this cornerstone of Danish life, and offers advice and ideas on incorporating it into your own life, such as:

• Get comfy. Take a break.
• Be here now. Turn off the phones.
• Turn down the lights. Bring out the candles.
• Build relationships. Spend time with your tribe.
• Give yourself a break from the demands of healthy living. Cake is most definitely Hygge.
• Live life today, like there is no coffee tomorrow.

From picking the right lighting to organizing a Hygge get-together to dressing hygge, Wiking shows you how to experience more joy and contentment the Danish way.

In How to Listen, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh demonstrates how deep listening is a fundamental building block of good communication. But perhaps more fundamentally, listening is central to our practice, a basic ingredient to strengthen our capacity for mindfulness, concentration, insight, and compassion. Learning how to listen with equanimity to life itself, we generate insight into the true nature of our deep connection to all things. And from this place of understanding--when we know that we aren't separate--our capacity to listen deepens even further.

With clear and gentle guidance from Thich Nhat Hanh, we learn how truly listening--to ourselves, to each other, to Mother Earth, and to the many bells of mindfulness that are available to us in each moment--is the foundation of our practice, an expression of love, and a solution to our deepest and most urgent large-scale conflicts.

All Mindfulness Essentials books are illustrated with playful sumi-ink drawings by California artist Jason DeAntonis.

Tired of saying yes when you really mean no?

If you're overwhelmed, overcommitted, and stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing and perfectionism, you're not alone. Saying yes to everything doesn't make life better-it just makes it busier, often at the expense of what truly matters.

In Ditch the Ditty, globally-recognized change experts Lindsey Godwin, Molly McGuigan, and Miriam Novotny invite you to pause, take a breath, and get honest about where your time and energy are going. With humor, relatable stories, and science-backed tools, this bold, refreshing guide helps women identify what's pulling them in all directions-and let it go, guilt-free.

So, what's a Ditty? It's anything you agree to out of politeness, obligation, or fear of letting someone down. Fueled by internalized norms to be agreeable, accommodating, and perfect, Ditties can be tasks, commitments, or even mindsets. They're the yeses that don't feel like a choice-until you look back and realize they were. While Ditties can weigh on anyone, this book is especially for women-those of us who've been shaped to prioritize others' needs over our own and often praised for doing so.

In this book, you'll learn how to:

• Spot the Ditties in your life-especially the ones in clever disguises
• Scale your nos with clarity and kindness (minus the guilt spiral)
• Understand the dynamics that push women to prioritize others over themselves
• Let go of perfectionism and the pressure to do it all
• Replace busyness with choices that truly light you up

Whether you're a working professional, a busy mom, or simply someone ready to trade overwhelm for intention, this book will guide you back to what matters. It's time to stop living on autopilot and start building a life of clarity, purpose, and freedom-on your terms.

Ready to ditch what's holding you back? It's time to say yes to yourself.
