The Happiness Equation: Want Nothing + Do Anything = Have Everything

What’s the formula for a happy life?  

Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, a Walmart executive, a New York Times–bestselling author, and a husband and dad. After selling more than a million copies of his Book of Awesome series, he now shifts his focus from observation to application.

In The Happiness Equation, Pasricha illustrates how to want nothing, do anything, and have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction, you simply haven’t unlocked the 9 Secrets to Happiness.

Each secret takes a common ideal, flips it on its head, and casts it in a completely new light. Pasricha then goes a step further by providing step-by-step guidelines and hand-drawn scribbles that illustrate exactly how to apply each secret to live a happier life today.

Controversial? Maybe. Counterintuitive? Definitely.

The Happiness Equation will teach you such principles as:
· Why success doesn’t lead to happiness 
· How to make more money than a Harvard MBA 
· Why multitasking is a myth 
· How eliminating options leads to more choice

The Happiness Equation is a book that will change how you think about everything—your time, your career, your relationships, your family, and, ultimately, of course, your happiness.

Deep Thoughts & Vulgar Quotes – The Adult Coloring Book: The Coloring Book for Adults filled with Dirty Quotes, Deep and Vulgar Thoughts, Profane … & Coloring Books for Children) (Volume 7)

The Adult Coloring Book of Deep Thoughts & Vulgarity…

This book has LOTS of beautiful and ornate coloring book pages for hours and hours of relaxing calm and peace. If you’re into Adult Coloring, then you’ll literally cream all over yourself with this book. We focused on Beautiful and ornate Trees in this edition, but that’s far from the end of it…

We felt that it wasn’t enough just to color, we want you to learn and experience a more existential and spiritual journey along the way.

This is a coloring book devoted to each and every one of us. We can all use some relaxation and peace, so this is how we can do it in a fun way! Renew your love of coloring and the wonderful Tree Designs we have compiled. Some of them are simple and floral, while others are caught somewhere in our darkest dreams and fantasies. This is a study of the Trees and deep, sometimes dirty and vulgar thoughts, and random quotes!

This book has been a collaborative effort between artists, designers, and psychologists. This book not only soothes you, but also increases mental stimulation. The pictures and designs may seem random at first glance, but they’re anything but. We also added some really cool coloring pages that are just for you to zone out after reading our madness. We think you’ll love the designs and create some incredible pieces of art!

Our idea with this project was to both inspire you, and increase neuronal activity and stimulation in a way that activates very unique parts of your mind. There are fields of research suggesting that both children and adults who work with coloring books and designs can effectively raise their IQ.

So have fun, relax, let the markers and pens do what they will, and hang on for an incredible, mind altering ride! We hope to give the designer (you) a very introspective and mind expanding experience. Your ideas and the beauty you create are more important than the original designs.

Prime Suspect #1

In the dark night of the soul…

If Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison hadn’t been a woman, she might not have noticed the victim’s shoes…and that they didn’t match the size given on the info sheet now so obviously misidentifying the dead blonde as a hooker named Della Mornay. Being so thorough, so good at the details, made Jane a top investigator; being a woman made the boys in the squadron want to see her fall on her face. But Jane Tennison was determined to catch the madman stalking women in London’s street shadows. She had a prime suspect, and she needed to make the charges against him stick. She also needed to keep her own secret in check: she couldn’t let anyone see that she was falling apart inside, as her obsession with cracking this case and breaking out from under the heel of the station house boy’s club took over life, destroying her relationship with the man she loved, pushing her closer and closer to the dark urges of a killer…

Journey to Munich CD: A Maisie Dobbs Novel (Maisie Dobbs Mysteries)

Working with the British Secret Service on an undercover mission, Maisie Dobbs is sent to Hitler’s Germany in this thrilling tale of danger and intrigue—the twelfth novel in Jacqueline Winspear’s New York Times bestselling “series that seems to get better with each entry” (Wall Street Journal).

It’s early 1938, and Maisie Dobbs is back in England. On a fine yet chilly morning, as she walks towards Fitzroy Square—a place of many memories—she is intercepted by Brian Huntley and Robert MacFarlane of the Secret Service. The German government has agreed to release a British subject from prison, but only if he is handed over to a family member. Because the man’s wife is bedridden and his daughter has been killed in an accident, the Secret Service wants Maisie—who bears a striking resemblance to the daughter—to retrieve the man from Dachau, on the outskirts of Munich.

The British government is not alone in its interest in Maisie’s travel plans. Her nemesis—the man she holds responsible for her husband’s death—has learned of her journey, and is also desperate for her help.

Traveling into the heart of Nazi Germany, Maisie encounters unexpected dangers—and finds herself questioning whether it’s time to return to the work she loved. But the Secret Service may have other ideas. . . .
