SMALL HABITS, LASTING CHANGE
by Tal Ben-Shahar
Alcove Press, January 2026

Do you struggle to make real change because you’re starting too big without building a foundation first ? get a new job, lose twenty pounds, learn a new language? Maybe the tools at your disposal seem inadequate, the prospect of change overwhelms you, and you feel stuck.

In SMALL HABITS, LASTING CHANGE, happiness expert Tal Ben-Shahar provides accessible and easy-to-implement tools, and an easy-to-follow three step process, that can help you realize your goals, aspirations, and dreams.

He starts with simple intervention techniques to reset your mood in as little time as possible—what he calls Happiness Boosters in the form of MVIs (Minimum Viable Interventions), which include:

– Taking three deep breaths
– Writing down five things for which you are grateful
– Reading a quote slowly and deliberately
– Vigorously climbing stairs for 45 seconds

From there, discover how to improve well-being—spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional—and build a stronger base within yourself for committing to change, increasing your willpower, and finding joy in the journey.

The final step in Ben-Shahar’s guide will help you learn how to create the daily rituals that will help you turn goals into habits, and intentions into reality, using the 3 Rs of change:

– Reminders
– Repetitions
– Rituals

With concrete examples, practical, direct advice, and an easy-to-follow action plan, Ben-Shahar shows you that while cultivating lasting change takes motivation, it does not have to be a frustrating experience that is doomed to failure: you’re just starting without the foundation you need for real change.

Despite being a tech millionaire with access to every specialist under the sun, Amish Shah was brought seemingly to death’s doorstep by a series of mystery symptoms that no Western diagnosis could solve. He credits Ayurveda and a return to his Indian roots with saving his life—the documentary shared his journey, including his interviewing 72+ of the world’s leading experts, and this book offers a deeper dive into the Ayurvedic practices that changed his life, with practical guidance for readers to experience similarly transformative results.

Ayurveda offers a transformative framework for thinking about your health. Its healing modalities include herbal medicine, yoga, dietary changes, acupuncture, fasting, massage therapy, and more, all based on understanding your dominant dosha—Vata (air), Pitta (fire), or Kapha (earth/water)—and how to rebalance it for better energy, vitality, and joy, as well as improved relationships, sleep, focus, and presence.

Readers today don’t want another diet. They are looking for profound practices to feel better in their bodies and their lives. Ayurveda has provided that for centuries, and people are finding it through a new lens, en masse, with THE NATURAL LAW.

Amish Shah is a three time “Inc. 500”-listed entrepreneur and philanthropist with a twenty-year career in the fields of health, wellness, and spirituality. His latest documentary project, The Natural Law, has already won nine International Film Festival Awards. Amish’s dedication to holistic wellness extends beyond his work as an entrepreneur and filmmaker, as demonstrated by his two hundred-hour yoga certification and numerous meditation certifications

WICKEDLY EVER AFTER de R. Lee Fryar

In this (delightfully screwball) fairy tale romp, even the most wicked deserve their happily-ever-after.

WICKEDLY EVER AFTER
by R. Lee Fryar
Sourcebooks Casablanca, April 2025

For almost a thousand years, Wicked Witch Hector West and Good Witch Ida North have maintained the balance of good and evil, preserving a magical Happily-Ever-After that keeps the realm from falling apart. But even Cardinal Witches need a hobby, and every spare moment they have is spent antagonizing each other. But when Ida’s latest « harmless » hex goes too far, Hector retaliates with a curse that immediately backfires, making her choose the wrong princess for the year’s big pantomime.

Which, if not corrected immediately, could have world-shaking consequences.

One reluctant prince and badly botched dragon kidnapping later, both Hector and Ida are determined to set things right. With love magic gone wild, the two best enemies set off on a quest to save the realm, their lovesick gnome chamberlains at their sides. Yet as they unravel what went wrong with their mixed-up magic, Hector and Ida will have to face a more daunting challenge than trying to avoid their own Wickedly-Ever-After: Deciding whether a millennium worth of enmity might have been the biggest mistake of their very long lives.

R. Lee Fryar is an author from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. When she isn’t writing about magical mayhem, she’s usually lost in the woods, wandering through the mountains, or up a creek without a paddle. In her spare time, she cooks, paints, and gardens very badly.

If he won’t add her business into his guidebook, she’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.

Della Danby is determined to prove she’s more than just a flighty heiress riding on her parents’ money to get through life. When her closest friend and business partner finds her hands full with a new baby, Della takes the opportunity to shoulder more responsibility at their ladies’ gambling club and secure their financial stability, and she has the perfect idea: to drum up new business by adding their club to a popular guidebook of local attractions.

Gambling ruined Viscount Lyman Ashton’s life and his marriage. He has no intention of putting a new club in his guide, nor of getting involved with its intriguing and energetic proprietress. But when Della refuses to take no for an answer and approaches his publisher with a plan to write her own book of attractions for ladies, Lyman reluctantly agrees to collaborate with her in exchange for the money he so desperately needs to pay his debts. As they grow closer, Lyman finds himself falling for Della even though his past could jeopardize her reputation. But if they can ever have a future together, Della may have to choose between the club she’s worked so hard to build and her chance at love.

Faye Delacour was raised in the Canadian prairies before deciding that she needed a challenge and should move to a place where everybody spoke French. She now lives and works in Montreal with her partner and children, a reformed street cat, and an Australian Shepherd who hasn’t yet accepted that he can’t herd the cat. Faye writes historical romance featuring strong, feminist heroines and enthusiastic consent.

(Blood of Lilith, Book 1)

She is the beginning and the end.
She is peace and chaos.
She is terror knocking at the gates.

Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.

Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he’s always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn’t sure he can protect her from what’s to come.

Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat―to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.
