'The idea of bittersweet is changing the way I live, unraveling and re-weaving the way I understand life. Bittersweet is the idea that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, that there is a moment of lightness on even the darkest of nights, a shadow of hope in every heartbreak, and that rejoicing is no less rich even when it contains a splinter of sadness. 'It's the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul. Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands. Sweet is nice enough, but bittersweet is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bittersweet is courageous, gutsy, audacious, earthy. 'This is what I've come to believe about change: it's good, in the way that childbirth is good, and heartbreak is good, and failure is good. By that I mean that it's incredibly painful, exponentially more so if you fight it, and also that it has the potential to open you up, to open life up, to deliver you right into the palm of God's hand, which is where you wanted to be all long, except that you were too busy pushing and pulling your life into exactly what you thought it should be. 'I've learned the hard way that change is one of God's greatest gifts, and most useful tools. Change can push us, pull us, rebuke and remake us. It can show us who we've become, in the worst ways, and also in the best ways. I've learned that it's not something to run away from, as though we could, and that in many cases, change is a function of God's graciousness, not life's cruelty.' Niequist, a keen observer of life with a lyrical voice, writes with the characteristic warmth and honesty of a dear friend: always engaging, sometimes challenging, but always with a kind heart. You will find Bittersweet savory reading, indeed. 'This is the work I'm doing now, and the work I invite you into: when life is sweet, say thank you, and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you, and grow.'

"An absorbing, sharply observed memoir."
--Kirkus Reviews

A hilarious and heartrending account of one mother's journey to understand and reconnect with her high-spirited preteen son--a true story sure to beguile parents grappling with a child's bewildering behavior.

Popular literature is filled with the stories of self-sacrificing mothers bravely tending to their challenging children. Katherine Ellison offers a different kind of tale. Shortly after Ellison, an award-winning investigative reporter, and her twelve-year-old son, Buzz, were both diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, she found herself making such a hash of parenting that the two of them faced three alternatives: he'd go to boarding school; she'd go AWOL; or they'd make it their full-time job to work out their problems together. They decided to search for a solution while Ellison investigated what genuine relief, if any, might be found in the confusing array of goods sold by the modern mental health industry.

The number of diagnoses for childhood attention and behavior issues is exploding, leaving parents and educators on a confusing chase to find the best kind of help for each child. Buzz, a page-turner of a memoir, brings much relief. It is immensely engaging, laugh-out-loud funny, and honest--and packed with helpful insights.

Praise for Buzz

"Combining a mother's ferocious love with an investigative journalist's curiosity and rigor, Katherine Ellison holds a magnifying glass up to her young son, her family history, and perhaps most of all, to herself. . . . This is a powerful story--raw, brave, honest, smart, and ultimately redemptive."
--Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion

"A must-read jolt of terrific storytelling and sharp analysis of one of the most important topics of our time: how to rekindle attention in a distracted age. Bravo!"
--Maggie Jackson, author of Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age

"Edgy, sensitive, irreverent, jaw-dropping, insightful. . . . If you want to know what it's really like to be a parent on the front lines of dealing with impulsivity, inattention, and defiance . . . make a beeline for Buzz."
--Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, UC Berkeley

"It's a lonely, confusing jungle out there for parents of behaviorally challenging kids. . . . Ellison's journey through the jungle is bumpy, difficult, humorous, insightful, riveting, and real. You gotta read this book!"
--Ross W. Greene, PhD, Harvard Medical School; author, The Explosive Child and Lost at School

"Many people will be grateful that Katherine Ellison had the courage, heart, humility, and downright heroic sense of humor to write this wise, insightful book. Prepare yourself to fall in love with the family in it--and, quite likely, to understand your own a whole lot better."
--Alan Weisman, author, The World Without Us and An Echo in My Blood

"Long after reading this smart and tender memoir, I am still rooting for Buzz."
--Kelly Corrigan bestselling author of The Middle Place

"A book I couldn't put down, a story of love and persistence, as well as an easy-to-read source book on what to do if your child has ADD...Buzz will teach, charm, and bolster you."
--Dr. Edward Hallowell author of Driven to Distraction

'The more I looked, the more I found Christian Atheists everywhere.' Former Christian Atheist Craig Groeschel knows his subject all too well. After over a decade of successful ministry, he had to make a painful self admission: although he believed in God, he was leading his church like God didn't exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschel's admission and the journey that follows---from his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encountered---will look and sound like the story of their own lives. Now the founding and senior pastor of the multicampus, pace-setting LifeChurch.tv, Groeschel's personal journey toward a more authentic God-honoring life is more relevant than ever. Christians and Christian Atheists everywhere will be nodding their heads as they are challenged to take their own honest moment and ask the question: am I putting my whole faith in God but still living as if everything was up to me?

With The Kindness Handbook, bestselling author and renowned meditation instructor Sharon Salzberg answers this question and more in her practical companion to inspire generosity of the spirit in any life situation.

It has been said that kindness is "compassion in action." But kindness is not just about "being nice." To Sharon Salzberg, it's a profound spiritual practice. The Kindness Handbook is an important resource for anyone wondering how to cultivate an open heart, empathy, and inner peace--every day.

Americans spend more than $11 billion a year on self-help products'everything from books to diet pills to career coaches to seminars. So why'with all this time, money, and energy being spent'are so few people living the life they really want? Why are millions of smart, talented, motivated people still going through life with one foot on the brake?

Here's the real Secret: You don't need any more how-to-succeed information to reach your full potential.

The problem isn't lack of motivation or lack of information. The real problem is that most people focus on the "how-to" aspects of success taught by traditional self-help programs, without coming to terms with what productivity expert Noah St. John calls your "head trash"'the subconscious, emotional roadblocks that prevent people from acting on their real hopes, dreams, and ambitions. In this groundbreaking book, based on work with thousands of clients around the world, Noah St. John has created a remarkable, step-by-step approach that helps you achieve long-term happiness, success, and wealth. In The Secret Code of Success, you will learn how to:

•  

• Eliminate the causes of self-sabotage and fear of success

•  

   

• Allow yourself to make more money

•  

   

• Remove stress while dramatically increasing personal productivity

•  

   

• Improve relationships with coworkers, family, and friends

•  

   

• Experience enhanced feelings of happiness, connection, and love

•  

The Secret Code of Success shows that, when it comes to success, the conscious mind is exactly the wrong place to start. It's only when we first conquer the self-sabotage of our subconscious (which accounts for 90 percent of our behavior) that we can truly begin to enjoy a life filled with success. This insight is at the core of The Secret Code of Success and leads to Noah's revolutionary 7-step method for eliminating these psychological obstacles. True financial freedom and personal success is possible at last!

The Secret Code of Success shows you how to get your foot off the brake and start living the life you deserve.

Fine reveals his simple and proven approach to achieving breakthrough performance. It starts with reducing the interference that blocks your potential through an amazing process called G.R.O.W. (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward).

There's little doubt that parenting can be one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences you'll ever have. But it can be plenty tough, too: Around the clock, you're working to keep your little one healthy, teach her the difference between right and wrong, and make sure none of her little fingers find their way to the electrical outlets, the dog's nose, or grandpop's cup of coffee. In YOU: Raising Your Child, Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, the New York Times #1 bestselling authors of the YOU health series, help you navigate the often tricky journey of parenting with the ultimate guide to raising a happy, healthy child.

Dr. Mehmet Oz'host of television's The Dr. Oz Show'and Dr. Michael Roizen'chief wellness officer and chair of the Wellness Institute of the Cleveland Clinic'have sold millions of books informing readers about healthy dieting, aging, and overall health. Picking up where their prior book, YOU: Having a Baby, left off, the docs provide oh-wow information and insider advice to help parents understand the biology and psychology of raising a child from birth to school age.

With humor and cutting-edge biological insights, the authors address everything from troubleshooting infant health issues to creating an environment that supports the emotional and intellectual development of your growing child. They talk about the various approaches to parenting'are you a Marshmallow Mommy or an Iron Maiden, passive or hyperinvolved? The docs help you identify your style of parenting, encouraging passive parents to create clear boundaries and hypervigilant ones to step back more often and let their kids develop. You will learn to become the ideal parent: firm but flexible. The docs also provide an extensive overview of nuts-and-bolts health problems' from asthma to fevers to emergency room visits and the sensitive issue of vaccinations.

In YOU: Raising Your Child, America's most trusted doctors, who co-host a daily Sirius/XM radio program for Oprah Radio, once again come to the rescue with wisdom about how to provide an enriching environment with the ultimate goal of raising a child with a healthy body'and mind. As the docs say in their introduction: Our goal is to teach you how to create the optimal environment for your child'an environment that's most conducive to your child thriving in all areas of life, physically, emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Why? Because the latest research shows us that the environment'as defined not only by physical space but also by the behaviors of parents and caregivers'is the number-one determinant of your child's future.

�***�

YOU: Raising Your Child offers a brand-new way to think about parenting. Imagine child development'and your child's journey though life'as a ride down a long, often unpredictable river. You are the guide, there to control the direction and speed that you travel. For the fi rst few years of their lives, your children are your precious cargo'the passengers who take in everything they see and who learn from you how to paddle on their own. As the guide, you can control the path you take and the environments you choose to travel in'with the goal of creating a healthy and happy life for your child. Here's just a sample of what you'll learn:

• The mind relies on the environment to give clues and signals about how it's supposed to develop and what it's supposed to learn. Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz show you how to create the best learning landscape possible to help your child thrive.

• Breast milk provides the perfect concoction of nutrients to help protect your baby against infection, asthma, and many other conditions (it also burns 500 calories a day to help you lose that baby weight!). But if you aren't able to breastfeed, we have plenty of tips on exactly what and how much to feed your baby to make sure that he or she is getting the best possible diet from day one.

• Get the truth about high fevers and learn the most accurate way to take a temperature (it's not what you think!). You'll also get insider tricks for handling everything from earaches to febrile seizures.

�• Whether your child is allergic to gluten or peanut butter, there are two dominant theories about why more kids have allergies today than ever before. YOU: Raising Your Child explains them and tells you unique ways to prevent and treat allergies in your child.

Our goal is for YOU: Raising Your Child to be the map that you need to safely navigate the waters of your baby's life from day one to day 2,190, and in it we will give you all the tools you need to steer the best possible course.
