| The Longevity Plan: Seven Life-Transforming Lessons from Ancient China by John D. Day and Jane Ann Day with Matthew LaPlanteDuring a conversation with his Mandarin tutor, cardiologist John Day heard about a location in China's Guangxi Province called "Longevity Village." He decided to spend some time there to find out why so many centenarians called it home and why ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression were so rare. In this engaging and accessible book, Day relates how he spoke with the villagers and learned their stories, deriving lifestyle and diet recommendations from what they told him. Intriguing and inspiring, The Longevity Plan offers the wisdom of people whose lives exemplify these principles. |

| Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts by Ryan HolidayAccording to publicity expert Ryan Holiday, marketing should always maintain the connection between your creative idea and its potential audience or market. In Perennial Seller, Holiday plots a "compelling road map" (Publishers Weekly) from concept to ongoing success, whether you're writing a book or building innovative furniture. He emphasizes that promoting your product requires a lot of work -- it won't sell itself -- but provides a step-by-step guide that culminates in a "Full-Fledged Career." Offering inspiration in addition to practical advice, Holiday illustrates his points with references to well-known success stories. |

| The Way We Die Now: The View from Medicine's Front Line by Seamus O'MahonyObserving that terminally ill patients are often kept ignorant of their impending deaths while hospitals continue to administer high-tech medical treatments up to the end, Irish gastroenterologist Seamus O'Mahony would like to promote more humane conversations about the end of life. In The Way We Die Now, he examines modern attitudes towards death in comparison with those of earlier societies. He also mourns the disappearance of spirituality from Western considerations of mortality. Fans of Atul Gawande's Being Mortal may appreciate O'Mahony's critique of medicalized death, which The Guardian calls "searingly honest and humane." |

| The Strength Switch: How the New Science of Strength-Based Parenting Can Help... by Lea WatersNear the beginning of this book on positive psychology methods of child-rearing, psychologist and parent Lea Waters says, "I think the best approach is one that supports your child’s ability for self-development." Waters continues by explaining her reasons for building on children's strengths instead of trying to correct weaknesses. This strategy allows children to discover their own abilities to build self-esteem, self-control, and the all-important characteristics of resilience and optimism. Thoughtful and realistic, The Strength Switch offers accessible tips for supporting kids as they learn "the tools to take on the mantle of CEO" of their own lives. |
