Self Improvement & Self Help

Emotional Equations

Chip Conley

When Chip Conley suffered a series of tragedies, he began using what he came to call “Emotional Equations” (like Joy = Love – Fear) to help him focus on the variables in life that he could deal with, rather than ruminating on the unchangeable constants he couldn’t. Now this award-winning entrepreneur shares his self-help paradigm with the rest of us. It's a wonderfully useful guide to emotional mastery (even for the most math-phobic among us). 

All There Is

Dave Isay

From the everyday to the extraordinary, all the many forms that love takes are tenderly evoked in the pages of this collection of personal, true stories, culled from the StoryCorps oral history project by founder Dave Isay. Young and old, gay and straight, in war and at peace, down the block or half a world away all are shared here with an authenticity that makes this collection deeply resonant and as unabashedly romantic as your favorite old movie.
