Book Description
What’s the actual secret to happiness? Great memories! Meik Wiking—happiness researcher and New York Times bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge and The Little Book of Lykke—shows us how to create memories that make life sweet in this charming book. Do you remember your first kiss? The day you graduated? Your favorite vacation? Or the best meal you ever had? Memories are the cornerstones of our identity, shaping who we are, how we act, and how we feel. In his work as a happiness researcher, Meik Wiking has learned that people are happier if they hold a positive, nostalgic view of the past. But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy? The Art of Making Memories examines how mental images are made, stored, and recalled in our brains, as well as the “art of letting go”—why we tend to forget certain moments to make room for deeper, more meaningful ones. Meik uses data, interviews, global surveys, and real-life experiments to explain the nuances of nostalgia and the different ways we form memories around our experiences and recall them—revealing the power that a “first time” has on our recollections, and why a piece of music, a smell, or a taste can unexpectedly conjure a moment from the past. Ultimately, Meik shows how we each can create warm memories that will stay with us for years. Combining his signature charm with Scandinavian forthrightness, filled with infographics, illustrations, and photographs, and featuring “Happy Memory Tips,” The Art of Making Memories is an inspiration meditation and practical handbook filled with ideas to help us make the memories that will bring us joy throughout our lives.

Book Description
Our mother, Sarada, has been writing poetry for decades. Sometimes at her desk, sometimes while stuck in a traffic jam, pretty much anywhere inspiration strikes. So, there was a lot of material to choose from. This book represents some of this writing. Left out are pieces that are either too personal or obscure in their references and context to make sense to anyone other than the person or persons they were written for or about. However, some of the writing while deeply personal, reflecting moments of pain, poignancy and joy in her life, still carry emotions that are universally experienced. We’ve left these in for this very reason. As we read, shortlisted and compiled her output for this collection, we wondered if our mother may have had a different career...with different life experiences... had she chosen a different path in life. Perhaps that of a writer. Yet the path she chose – that of the Teacher – brought her rich experiences from Malaya (as it was then known) to the United Kingdom and eventually Singapore. She had an illustrious teaching career. Old school. Strict. It served her well, and more importantly, it served generations of students. That she has a gift for the written word is clear. It made her a remarkable teacher of the English Language.

Book Description
The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth. Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?) Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

Book Description
Some people might think this is strange, writing a book about someone who has passed away. Well, that’s just a matter of opinion. After all, if we believe, if we really believe, than there is no need to worry because the essence of the individual concerned is still present; just not to the human eye. I believe, and so this book is for you dad. Although you have been gone for so many years, I still think of you. At this point in my life I wish I had discovered my interest in writing and had composed something like this when you were here with me. Now, there are only memories but even those are precious and my eyes begin to water thinking of you. The fact that I am the middle and only living son in a small family, I chose to remember my father who passed away in 1981 in a special way. So, after seven years of research and careful thought I brought this book about my father to life; a unique man who definitely experienced a wonderful life. I hope you enjoy the story of our trip to Ireland and the many individual stories of my father’s life and the history of his family. Perhaps this is the start of a tradition of memories of other family members that may produce more stories and maybe another book – a beginning for someone.

Book Description
As the most popular mass spectator sport across the world, soccer generates key moments of significance on and off the field, encapsulated in events that create metaphors and memories, with wider social, cultural, psychological, political, commercial and aesthetic implications. Since its inception as a modern game, the history of soccer has been replete with events that have changed the organization, meanings and impact of the sport. The passage from the club to the nation or from the local to the global often opens up transnational spaces that provide a context for studying the events that have ‘defined’ the sport and its followers. Such defining events can include sporting performances, decisions taken by various stakeholders of the game, accidents and violence among players and fans, and invention of supporter cultures, among other things. The present volume attempts to document, identify and analyse some of the defining events in the history of soccer from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. It revisits the discourses of signification and memorialization of such events that have influenced society, culture, politics, religion, and commerce. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Soccer & Society.
