Book Description
This book is about savoring life—the capacity to attend to the joys, pleasures, and other positive feelings that we experience in our lives. The authors enhance our understanding of what savoring is and the conditions under which it occurs. Savoring provides a new theoretical model for conceptualizing and understanding the psychology of enjoyment and the processes through which people manage positive emotions. The authors review their quantitative research on savoring, as well as the research of others, and provide measurement instruments with scoring instructions for assessing and studying savoring. Authors Bryant and Veroff outline the necessary preconditions that must exist for savoring to occur and distinguish savoring from related concepts such as coping, pleasure, positive affect, emotional intelligence, flow, and meditation. The book’s lifespan perspective includes a conceptual analysis of the role of time in savoring. Savoring is also considered in relation to human concerns, such as love, friendship, physical and mental health, creativity, and spirituality. Strategies and hands-on exercises that people can use to enhance savoring in their lives are provided, along with a review of factors that enhance savoring. Savoring is intended for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in positive psychology from the fields of social, clinical, health, and personality psychology and related disciplines. The book may serve as a supplemental text in courses on positive psychology, emotion and motivation, and other related topics. The chapters on enhancing savoring will be especially attractive to clinicians and counselors interested in intervention strategies for positive psychological adjustment.

Book Description
Have you had a Senior Moment yet? Maybe you know someone who's had a few? Check this list to know for sure: · You can remember being told the King was dead (George, not Elvis). · You still say 'colour television', and you watch television on a television. · Your home phone rings and you answer it. (And you still have a phone, not a 'landline'.) · You boast about 'doing it' three times a night and that's just getting up to pee. · You realise that your wardrobe has become ironic. You're not back in fashion, but you're hip. (And ironically, you now have an artificial hip). If you answered 'yes' to one or more of the above, congratulations! You are officially a Senior and this book is here to guide you through your best years (i.e. the past). Stroll, or maybe shuffle, down Nostalgia Avenue and bask in the glory of growing old disgracefully. (If you are a Young Person, this is the easiest Senior gift idea ever. You're welcome!)

Book Description
Loss and impermanence are inescapable, part of the warp and weft of our lives. They are essential to love, to growth, and to art. And yet, too often, we do not acknowledge loss, let alone honour the experience of it. Illuminating, thoughtful, and deeply necessary, Susan Cain's new book will help us to name and value the experience of loss, pointing the way toward ways of being and rituals that help us to accept it rather than bury it. Blending memoir, reportage, and social science, it will reveal that joy and loss exist in equilibrium; that vulnerability, or even a melancholy temperament, can be a strength; and that embracing our inevitable losses makes us more human and more whole.

Book Description
My Treasured Moments is a collection of heartfelt, inspirational poems and short stories to which anyone should be able to relate, finding themselves moved and encouraged by the grace and insight of the author’s words. Dealing with such themes as love, grief, dreams, spirituality, and physical disability (specifically deafness), this offering should reassure its readers―young and old alike―that they are not alone. “My poems were written over a span of several years in British Columbia, Southern Alberta, and all my other travels, and are written from my heart, my experiences, and all the love I enjoy... I try to give guidance and help to others through my words, for it is only through personal reflection that we can choose our destiny and embrace our next adventures.”

Book Description

Book Description
We had a most incredible late spring storm. It began during the early evening, fully displaying all the majesty and power of God. More brilliant than fireworks on the 4th of July, the light show danced on the big black night screen of the sky. The show was complete with loud and distant rumblings of thunder, followed by buckets of rain. The next morning I had put everything else back in place, so I headed over to the hammock to hook it back up. When I picked it up and unfolded it where the wind had thrown it together, I disturbed a tiny frog who had evidently gone there for cover. Just as the tiny frog took his shelter in the hiding place of the wet, heavy hammock, we can take our shelter in the shadow of God's wings. In Uncomplicated, Ruth Teal takes experiences from her life and connects them to biblical concepts. Ruth covers a range in topics--many funny, many thought provoking. Throughout her day, Ruth is able to find God's presence in everything. Each section is its own short story, so keep it in your purse for on-the-go reading. Whether you're cozying up on the couch with a cup of tea, or reading on the run, Uncomplicated will lighten your spirit and inspire your day.
