With a series of 'music in care' books aimed at supporting adults
through a range of life's situations using music, John Osborne has
collaborated with a new young author to bring fresh perspective on
how the power of music can affect a young person's life. Coping
with moving to a new school can be a difficult and challenging time
for any young person but it can be even more problematic if you are
on the autistic spectrum. This book tells the story of Luke Fiddes
a remarkable young man and talented musician. It explains how Luke
became aware of his different and special status and how he learnt
to manage this. It also contains a self help manual for all young
people which is designed to help deal with the struggles of
adolescence using personalised music. This heartwarming, funny and
frank account of Luke's journey gives a remarkable insight into
some of the challenges but also the surprising benefits of living
with Asperger syndrome. "I love my autism because I love music."

"The Grateful Life" is a guide to discovering -- and achieving --
one's dreams by harnessing the power of a positive attitude. In
years of research and practice, authors Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth
Sammons have discovered that grateful living can transform lives.
Grateful people are happier people. They are healthier and less
stressed. They report much higher levels of satisfaction with their
relationships and are less likely to credit luck with the good
fortune of others. This book contains inspiring stories about those
who exercise gratitude as a spiritual practice to rise out of
adversity to new life. It also shows how grateful living is central
to the good life and to attracting abundance. Filled with
motivational quotes, resources, and exercises, "The Grateful Life"
helps readers on their journey to creating the life they've always
wanted. Taking the concept of "Living Life as a Thank You" to the
next level, "The Grateful Life" includes absorbing and
transformative stories from real people who unveil the secret to
achieving successes both big and small.
