TEN POEMS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
by Roger Housden

In Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Roger Housden shows how these astonishing poems can inspire you to live what you always knew in your bones but never had the words for.

Mattie Stepanek’s fourth collection of poetry is a joyful “thank you” for life. In Celebrate Through Heartsongs, Mattie conveys the message that there is always a reason for happiness whatever one’s life circumstances. While acknowledging his own grief—at the loss of his three siblings and in living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy—Mattie can also see that to live fully, one must “celebrate life, every day, in some way.”

THE ALCHEMIST
by Paulo Coelho

What starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a meditation on the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts. “To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.”
—from The Alchemist
