Book Description
This “one-of-a-kind read” offers insightful essays, poignant life advice, and pithy pearls of wisdom from the comedian and star of HBO’s Insecure (Entertainment Weekly). Anyone who has seen Amanda Seales’s acclaimed stand-up special I Be Knowin, her long-running TV series Insecure, or her groundbreaking gameshow Smart Funny & Black, knows that this woman is a force of nature. In both life and career, she has fearlessly and passionately charted her own course. Now she’s bringing her life’s lessons and laughs to the page with her signature blend of academic intellectualism, Black American colloquialisms, and pop culture fanaticism. This volume of essays, axioms, original illustrations, and photos provides Seales’s trademark “self-help from the hip” style of commentary, fueled by ideology formed from her own victories, struggles, research, mistakes, risks, and pay-offs. Unapologetic, fiercely funny, and searingly honest, Small Doses engages, empowers, and enlightens readers on how to find their truths while still finding the funny!

Book Description
A collection of stories, essays, and exercises to spark your creative instincts, activate your inner guidance, and enliven your dreams Have you been called to express yourself with a level of courage and honesty that surprised even you? Did an image or moment cause you such joy that you needed to share it with the world? If so, you know what it means to be inspired. World-renowned spiritual teacher Light Watkins has spent most of his life learning how to seek out and tap into sources of inspiration. “Inspiration is part inner guidance, part blind faith in a greater possibility, and part inner voice,” he writes, “nudging you to take an action that helps you grow and expand your awareness.” In Knowing Where to Look, Light presents a trove of compelling inspirational material to catalyze positive change and give you fuel to push through self-limiting beliefs. Through 108 diverse essays, anecdotes, and parables, Light provides doorways to inspired thinking and imagination. Prompts offer reflection questions and action steps for further bringing your inspiration to life. Here you will also discover: • Recognizing the opposite of inspiration: the inner critic and its demands for safety • The joys and challenges of living minimally in a consumer society • How to listen for the intuitive whisper of true inspiration • Why the best action you can take when you’re creatively lost is to keep moving • How to grapple with fear when it stands in the way of your dreams • Why following your inspiration will often remove you from your comfort zone • Questions to ask yourself in order to recognize your blind spots • How to reorient your attitudes toward the concept of success • Embracing whimsy and small moments of chaos as allies • Why the process of achieving mastery is far from straightforward Rather than being a linear set of exercises, Knowing Where to Look is meant to provide the spark you need just as you need it. Open to any page at random, and discover an unexpected source of inspiration.

From the Publisher: With a little imagination, creativity, and help from House Beautiful, anyone can turn an apartment-whether dorm room or duplex-into a lovely home that's brimming with personality. Featuring almost 300 photos, a dozen floor plans, countless tips, and numerous sidebars, this chunky and spiffily designed handbook covers a wide variety of styles: a charming studio, a one-bedroom filled with mid-century modern furniture, a small apartment that doubles as a workspace, an all-white pied a terre, and a spacious flat that resembles a grand manor. There are easy-to-implement designs for every room, suggestions for accentuating the positive (moldings) while downplaying the negative (exposed pipes), and expert advice on dealing with a tiny kitchen, decorating high-style at low-cost, displaying collections, storage, and entertaining.

Book Description
Most of us live our lives by accident - we live as it happens. Fulfilment comes when we live our lives on purpose. 'What are you going to do with your life? What are you doing with your life now?' 'Do you have goals? A vision? A clear sense of why you do what you do?' Almost everyone knows someone who has grappled with at least one of these questions. The answers can often seem elusive or uncertain. Though there are many paths to follow into the unknown future, there is one way that dramatically increases the chances we will enjoy the journey. To travel with someone we trust. We can try to build a successful career or a happy life alone, but why would we? Together is better. This unique and delightful little book makes the point that together is better in a quite unexpected way. Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, blends the wisdom he has gathered from around the world with a heartwarming, richly illustrated original fable. Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.

Book Description
Have you ever found yourself trapped in your mind trying to figure out a problem or challenge, only to realize later that the wisdom you needed to get through the difficult time wasn't in your mind, but rather in your heart? If you're like most people, you occasionally suffer from "amnesia" of the heart... and you're definitely not alone. It's part of the human condition to forget that which you already know. Experiencing stressful times can make it even more difficult to access your inner wisdom; and sometimes the daily routine of managing work, life, family, health, relationships, finances, etc., is simply enough to leave you feeling depleted and forgetful of who you truly are and what you know deep inside. In A Daily Dose of Love: Everyday Inspiration to Help You Remember What Your Heart Already Knows, Christine Kloser offers a powerful resource that will help you quickly access the timeless wisdom within. Simply open the book to a "random" page and let the message remind you of what your heart already knows. ======= "My heart and soul are grateful for every word in this delightful book."
