In this updated edition of the bestseller published ten years ago,
Oprah shares what she has come to know for sure in the last decade.
After film critic Gene Siskel asked her, "What do you know for sure?"
Oprah Winfrey began writing the "What I Know For Sure" column in O, The
Oprah Magazine. Saying that the question offered her a way to take
"stock of her life," Oprah has penned one column a month over the last
fourteen years, years in which she retired The Oprah Winfrey Show (the
highest-rated program of its kind in history), launched her own
television network, became America's only black billionaire, was
awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University and the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, watched friends and colleagues come and go, and
celebrated milestone birthdays. Throughout it all, she's continued to
offer her profound and inspiring words of wisdom in her "What I Know
For Sure" column in O, The Oprah Magazine.
Now, for the first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised,
updated, and collected in What I Know For Sure, a beautiful book packed
with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Organized by theme-joy,
resilience, connection, gratitude, possibility, awe, clarity, and
power-these essays offer a rare and powerful glimpse into the mind of
one of the world's most extraordinary women. Candid, moving,
exhilarating, uplifting, and dynamic, the words Oprah shares in What I
Know For Sure shimmer with the sort of wisdom and truth that readers
will turn to again and again.
A personal code for living a better, happier, more successful kind
of life.
An essential, universally resonant new memoir from the number one
bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest
nightmare?
Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love inspired millions
of readers to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery. A
decade later, Big Magic empowered countless others to live their most
creative lives. Now comes another landmark book – about love and loss,
addiction and recovery, grief and liberation.
In 2000, a friend sent Liz to see a new hairdresser named Rayya Elias.
An intense and unlikely curiosity sparked between these two apparent
opposites: Rayya, an East Village badass who lived boldly on her own
terms but feared she was a failed artist; Liz, a married people-pleaser
with a surprisingly unfettered sense of creativity. Over the years,
they became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy
entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: the two were in
love. Unacknowledged: they were also a pair of addicts, on a collision
course toward catastrophe.
What if the love of your life – and the person you most trusted in the
world – became a danger to your sanity and wellbeing? What if the dear
friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies
became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every
one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a
pathway to your greatest awakening?
All the Way to the River is for everyone who has ever been captive to
love – or to any other passion, substance, or craving – and who yearns,
at long last, for peace and freedom.

Rarely has there seemed a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the ‘manosphere’, as men search for new forms of belonging.
In Lost Boys, acclaimed journalist James Bloodworth delves into these worlds and asks: what does their emergence say about Western society? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? And what can we do about their pernicious encroachment upon our social and political spheres? Along the way, he enlists in a bootcamp for ‘alpha males’, dissects cultural figures including Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, and accompanies modern day Hugh Hefners as they broadcast their jet-set lifestyles to millions of followers.
Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, Lost Boys is an essential guide to the contradictions in contemporary masculinity.
Think of letting things go as setting them free.
Amid the relentless cycle of news, social media, emails and texts, it
can be hard to know when, if ever, you can take a break. In this
insightful book, renowned Zen Buddhist monk, Shunmyo Masuno, offers us
a radical message: sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing at
all.
You will learn 99 empowering tips and truths that will help you ease
the pressure, including how to say no and accept that you cannot do
what you cannot do, that social media is a tool and nothing more, that
decisions should be made in the light of day – not rushed into – and

How to Let Things Go will teach you how to relinquish control and find
a way to a calmer, more fulfilling life.
