The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent
a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read
Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin
Gretchen
Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city
bus. "The days are long, but the years are short," she realized.
"Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really
matter." In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness
project.
In this
lively and compelling account, Rubin chronicles her adventures during the
twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific
research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Among other
things, she found that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness;
that money can help buy happiness, when spent wisely; that outer order
contributes to inner calm; and that the very smallest of changes can make the
biggest difference.

Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller - Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century
by Napoleon
Hill
Think and
Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational
Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a
winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is
now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.
The most
famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of
a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy
that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this
one.
In the
original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of
Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his
generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R.
Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human
resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly
interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such
as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved
their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully
refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers.
Thirty years
after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States,
men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and
industry. This means that women’s voices are still not heard equally in the
decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why
women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root
causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to
achieve their full potential.

The Power of Habit: Why
We Do What We Do in Life and Business
by Charles Duhigg
In
The Power of Habit, award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to
the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and
how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing
narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to
sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg
presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its
core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to
exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving
success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this
new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
