How to Live a Good Life : Soulful Stories, Surprising Science, and Practical Wisdom
by Jonathan Fields
Seriously. another book that tells you how to live a good life? Don't we have enough of those? You'd think so. Yet, more people than ever are walking through life disconnected, disengaged, dissatisfied, mired in regret, declining health, and a near maniacal state of gut-wrenching autopilot busyness. Whatever is out there isn't getting through. We don't know who to trust. We don't know what's real and what's fantasy. We don't know how and where to begin and we don't want to wade through another minute of advice that gives us hope, then saps our time and leaves us empty. How to Live a Good Life is your antidote; a practical and provocative modern-day manual for the pursuit of a life well lived. No need for blind faith or surrender of intelligence; everything you'll discover is immediately actionable and subject to validation through your own experience.

Man Seeks God: My Flirtations with the Divine
by Eric Weiner
Faced with a mid-life medical scare, author Eric Weiner is startled when a hospital nurse asks him, "Have you found your God yet?" As a non-observant Jew, he decides after he recovers to explore a variety of religions to find the God who is right for him. Traveling around the globe, he visits (and whirls with) Sufi dervishes, meditates with Tibetan monks, and attends a convention of Raelians (who are inspired by their belief in UFOs). During his final stop, in Israel, he studies the Kabbalah. With self-deprecating humor, Man Seeks God recounts Weiner's experiences and shows his sincere appreciation for what he learns.
