Larry Dossey
The Extraordinary Healing Power of Everyday Things
Harmony/Random House
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Larry Dossey, long hailed as one of the founding fathers of mind-body medicine, directs our attention to simple sources of healing that have been available for centuries—treasures often hidden in plain sight—from the power of optimism and of tears to speed recovery to the surprising usefulness of dirt and bugs in curing disease and infection to the benefits of doing nothing. The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things was named one of “The Ten Best Spiritual Books of 2006” by Spirituality & Health.
Pamela Miles
Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarcher/Penguin
Reiki explores the modern day use of the traditional healing practice and its benefits as a therapeutic regimen to complement Western medical treatments. Reiki Master Pamela Miles has been praised by several renowned health professionals, including Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Christiane Northrup, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, who says, “Pamela Miles has written an intelligent, sensitive guidebook to this remarkable healing practice.”
Jean Fain
The Self-Compassion Diet
Sounds True, Incorporated
Jean Fain, licensed psychotherapist and teaching associate
at Cambridge Health Alliance, offers a unique approach to dieting that combines
the best of four proven methods—self-love, mindfulness, self-hypnosis, and
group support. As Kristen Neff says, “This book translates an established
research finding—that self-compassion is a more effective motivator than
self-criticism—into a practical guide. This book will not only transform
your waistline, it will change your life.”

Marc Silver
Breast Cancer Husband
Rodale Books
When his wife Marsha was diagnosed with breast cancer, U.S. News & World Report editor Marc Silver was not prepared—for her diagnosis or for his new role as a breast cancer husband. In Breast Cancer Husband, Treatment, and Beyond, Silver provides other husbands with the manual he never had: a comprehensive guide to supporting, encouraging, and caring for their wives at every step of the process. News analyst and breast cancer survivor Cokie Roberts called it "the book that breast cancer patients and their families have been waiting for. Here’s a practical guide for the too many husbands who will need it.”
Martin Cizmar
Chubster
Mariner/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
You don’t have the right clothes for the gym. The idea of going without beer makes you weak in the knees. You are one. Fat. Hipster. Lucky for you, Martin Cizmar has come up with the least awful diet plan of all time. It revolves around calorie counting (deal with it) and enjoyable undercover exercise, and will dispel some of the myths giving you that tire around your waist. (Like: that Stella you’re holding? It has more calories than Guinness.) The book has been featuring in The Washington Post, Willamette Week, and on NPR.
