  The Joy Journey - How to Find...

  Life is a journey, and along this journey, we often find ourselves searching for something that will bring us lasting contentment: happiness. Yet, happiness is not a destination to be reached, but a path to be walked. In a world that constantly demands more from us, it can be easy to overlook the power of small, intentional steps toward joy. We get caught up in the chase for success, the pursuit of external validation, or the quest to fix what we perceive as wrong in our lives. However, true happiness lies not in the perfect outcome, but in how we approach the journey itself. 
    
  The idea of joy often seems elusive, something that is dependent on circumstances or fleeting moments. But what if we could choose joy, not just as a reaction to life’s happenings, but as a conscious decision we make each day? What if every step along the way, regardless of the situation or challenge, could be an opportunity to cultivate happiness? This book is about discovering that joy is not just something you find, but something you create as you go.

  A personal and literary examination of hypochondria.​
  		 
  A free-wheeling philosophical essay, Hypochondria is expansive in its range of references, from the writings of Franz Kafka to original yet accessible readings of theorists like Lauren Berlant. Whether he is discussing Seinfeld, John Donne, or his own hypochondriac past, Rees reveals himself to be a wry and perceptive critic, exploring the causes — and the costs — of our desire for certainty. With wit and erudition, Hypochondria demonstrates both the rewards and the perils of reading (too) closely the common but typically overlooked aspects of our everyday lives.

  Algren - A Life

  Chicago Writers Association Nonfiction Book of the Year (2017) Society of Midland Authors Literary Award in Biography (2017)
  
  A tireless champion of the downtrodden, Nelson Algren, one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century, lived an outsider's life himself. He spent a month in prison as a young man for the theft of a typewriter; his involvement in Marxist groups earned him a lengthy FBI dossier; and he spent much of his life palling around with the sorts of drug addicts, prostitutes, and poor laborers who inspired and populated his novels and short stories. Most today know Algren as the radical, womanizing writer of The Man with the Golden Arm, which won the first National Book Award, in 1950, but award-winning reporter Mary Wisniewski offers a deeper portrait. Starting with his childhood in the City of Big Shoulders, Algren sheds new light on the writer's most momentous periods, from his on-again-off-again work for the WPA to his stint as an uninspired soldier in World War II to his long-distance affair with his most famous lover, Simone de Beauvoir, to the sense of community and acceptance Algren found in the artist colony of Sag Harbor before his death in 1981. Wisniewski interviewed dozens of Algren's closest friends and inner circle, including photographer Art Shay and author and historian Studs Terkel, and tracked down much of his unpublished writing and correspondence. She unearths new details about the writer's life, work, personality, and habits and reveals a funny, sensitive, and romantic but sometimes exasperating, insecure, and self-destructive artist. The first new biography of Algren in over 25 years, this fresh look at the man whose unique style and compassionate message enchanted readers and fellow writers and whose boyish charm seduced many women is indispensable to anyone interested in 20-century American literature and history.

  Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard is a seminal work in the field of metaphysics and personal development, emphasizing the profound influence of emotions on the manifestation of desires. First published in 1944, this concise yet powerful book distills Goddard's teachings on the law of attraction and the creative power of the subconscious mind.Goddard's central thesis is that feelings are the key to unlocking the creative potential within each individual. He asserts that it is not enough to merely think about one's desires; one must also cultivate the corresponding feelings to bring these desires into reality. By aligning thoughts with emotions, individuals can effectively impress their desires upon the subconscious mind, which in turn shapes their external reality.The book is divided into four chapters:The Law and Its Operation:Goddard explains the fundamental principles of the law of attraction and the role of the subconscious mind in manifesting desires. He emphasizes that the conscious mind directs and the subconscious mind executes, making the feeling of the wish fulfilled essential for successful manifestation.Sleep:This chapter highlights the importance of the state of mind before sleep. Goddard advises using the moments before sleep to focus on positive emotions and desired outcomes, as this is when the subconscious mind is most receptive to suggestions.Prayer:Goddard redefines prayer as a feeling rather than a verbal request. He encourages readers to embody the feeling of their desires already being fulfilled during prayer, thereby creating a sense of certainty and inevitability.Spirit – Feeling:The final chapter delves deeper into the relationship between spirit and feeling. Goddard explores how emotions connect individuals to their spiritual essence and the universal creative power, reinforcing the idea that feeling is the secret to effective creation.Feeling Is The Secret is a timeless guide that empowers readers to harness their emotions and subconscious mind to create the life they desire. Its practical wisdom and clear instructions make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand and apply the principles of manifestation and the law of attraction.This book remains a cornerstone in the study of metaphysics and personal transformation, offering profound insights into the dynamic interplay between thoughts, feelings, and reality.
