But recently he's found himself learning closer to home—from the teacher-cats he lives with. 
   
   
   
  What he discovered is that our greatest spiritual teachers are at our feet. Literally. They are the cats we love and treasure. Nearly 60 million cats live in US households today. These feline teachers have much to offer us about living in the present, loving unconditionally, approaching life with a sense of playfulness, and trusting others, all the while being independent spirits. 
   
   
   
  Jon Sweeney, beloved scholar and author of The Pope's Cat and numerous books about Saint Francis, offers a playful, gentle, informed meditation on the many spiritual truths and practices our feline companions provide if we but pause and pay attention.

  An award-winning barbecue cook boldly asserts that barbecuing is a unique American tradition that was not imported. 
   
   
   
  The origin story of barbecue is a popular topic with a ravenous audience, but commonly held understandings of barbecue are often plagued by half-truths and misconceptions. From Barbycu to Barbecue offers a fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. Award winning barbecue cook Joseph R. Haynes sets out to correct one of the most common barbecue myths, the "Caribbean Origins Theory," which holds that the original southern barbecuing technique was imported from the Caribbean to what is today the American South. Rather, Haynes argues, the southern whole carcass barbecuing technique that came to define the American tradition developed via direct and indirect collaboration between Native Americans, Europeans, and free and enslaved people of African descent during the seventeenth century. Haynes's barbycu-to-barbecue history analyzes historical sources throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to Jamaica, and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique.

  Meditations

  Marcus Aurelius

  "Written in the heat of battle and the halls of power—the ultimate guide to mastering your mind."
  
  Meditations is a collection of twelve books containing the private thoughts of the most powerful man in the ancient world. Writing to himself as a form of spiritual exercise, Marcus Aurelius explores how to remain virtuous in a world of vice, how to find tranquility in the face of death, and how to perform one's duty without complaint. He argues that while we cannot control external events, we have absolute power over our own thoughts and reactions. This isn't just a book of philosophy; it is a practical blueprint for living a life of purpose, integrity, and calm.
  
  The Core Principles of Stoicism: Through pithy aphorisms and deep introspection, Aurelius focuses on the concept of the Amor Fati (love of fate) and the Dichotomy of Control. He reminds himself—and the reader—that everything is change, and that the only thing that truly matters is the quality of one's character.
  
  A Leader's Inner Battle: Unlike other philosophical texts, Meditations is deeply personal. It captures an emperor reminding himself to be patient with "tiresome people," to avoid the temptations of fame, and to stay grounded in the present moment. It remains a favorite of world leaders, athletes, and entrepreneurs for its brutal honesty and practical application.
  
  Why It Matters Today: In an age of constant distraction and anxiety, Marcus Aurelius's words are more relevant than ever. He teaches us that "the happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts" and provides the tools to build an "inner citadel" that no external force can break.
  
  Master your mind and conquer your world. Purchase "Meditations" today.
