When Things Fall Apart

There is a fundamental opportunity for happiness right within our reach, yet we usually miss it—ironically, while we are caught up in attempts to escape pain and suffering. Drawn from traditional Buddhist wisdom, Pema Chödrön's radical and compassionate advice for what to do when things fall apart in our lives goes against the grain of our usual habits and expectations. There is only one approach to suffering that is of lasting benefit, Pema teaches, and that approach involves movingtowardpainful situations with friendliness and curiosity, relaxing into the essential groundlessness of our entire situation. It is there, in the midst of chaos, that we can discover the truth and love that are indestructible. Included in the book are: • Ways to use painful emotions to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and courage • Methods of communicating that lead to openness and true intimacy with others • Practices for reversing negative habitual patterns • Techniques for working with chaotic situations • Tools for cultivating compassionate, energetic social action

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Dr. Seuss’s wonderfully wise Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is the perfect send-off for grads—from nursery school, high school, college, and beyond! From soaring to high heights and seeing great sights to being left in a Lurch on a prickle-ly perch, Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with his trademark humorous verse and illustrations, while encouraging readers to find the success that lies within. In a starred review, Booklist notes, “Seuss’s message is simple but never sappy: life may be a ‘Great Balancing Act,’ but through it all ‘There’s fun to be done.’” A perennial favorite and a perfect gift for anyone starting a new phase in their life!

I prefer light or amber colored, unless I'm in Ireland—where I'm obviously drinking Guinness.

We found Green Pan because we were trying to avoid carcinogens. Some more environmentally sound pans will lose their nonstick quality, and that’s been really frustrating for us — as well as really expensive — because then you have to go buy a new pan every six months.

We love granola, but some granola is so sweet, and we’re not overly sweet people.
