INFECTIOUS GENEROSITY de Chris Anderson

From the bestselling author, media pioneer, and curator of TED Chris Anderson, INFECTIOUS GENEROSITY is an inspiring, revelatory book about the secret, urgent and world-changing potential of one of humankind’s defining but overlooked impulses: generosity.

INFECTIOUS GENEROSITY:
The Ultimate Idea Worth Spreading
by Chris Anderson
Crown, January 2024

As head of TED for the past 20 years, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world’s most significant thinkers sharing their boldest ideas across every imaginable discipline, and he’s noticed that generosity is the essential tool that connects everything. It may seem simple, but generosity has played a key role in building the tools, knowledge, and institutions that have allowed civilization to flourish.
In this profound and inspiring book, Anderson shows how the same technologies that have been a catalyst for negativity can be turned into an exponential force for good—to create chain reactions of generous behavior. Gifts of time, talent, connection, and kindness have always been part of what it is to be a good human. What’s different today, Anderson reveals, is the power each of us has—if we’d only stop to think about it—to catalyze world-changing, self-replicating impact in a domino effect of generosity. The people, companies, investors and organizations who understand this—who prioritize generosity, and give more to the world than they take from it—are the ones that will own the future and will be happier as a result.

Chris Anderson has been the curator of TED since 2001. His TED mantra—“ideas worth spreading”—continues to blossom on an international with more than one billion TED Talks viewed annually. He lives in New York City and London.

THE ONLY CONSTANT de Najwa Zebian

In THE ONLY CONSTANT, celebrated poet and educator Najwa Zebian quiets the noise and focuses on the necessity and beauty of those messy transitional times in life.

THE ONLY CONSTANT
A Guide to Embracing Change and Leading an Authentic Life
by Najwa Zebian
Harmony, March 2024

Most people want something in their life to change, whether it’s their job, their personal relationships, or their ability to live authentically. And sometimes, unwanted change comes all too swiftly. We may want to jump over the hard, confusing parts, but true growth happens in that uncomfortable space in between here and there.

This is a tender and wise guide to accepting yourself as you are now, embracing the impermanence, and celebrating the fact that change is what puts the life in life. Written with poetic wisdom, Najwa shares her personal experiences with change and guides us through the changes we choose, like embarking on a new career or setting boundaries, and changes we don’t choose, like the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a job.

Ultimately, Zebian teaches that the purpose of change is to step into the world as your most authentic self. THE ONLY CONSTANT is here to assure us that uncertainty is natural. Change is scary. But it’s the path to living as your true self. We may be in the in-between, but that journey is just as beautiful as the destination.

Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese-Canadian activist, author, speaker, and educator with a doctorate in Educational Leadership. The author of three collections of poetry and WELCOME HOME (Harmony, 2021), she delivered the TEDx talk « Finding Home Through Poetry » and recently launched a digital school, Soul Academy, and a podcast, Stories of the Soul. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Glamour, Elle Canada, HuffPost, and more.

Nicole J. Sachs, LCSW

In MIND YOUR BODY, Sachs will teach readers about Mindbody medicine and how to turn inwards using her JournalSpeak practice, which has helped countless people around the world better understand their inner workings and experience striking mental, emotional, and physical healing. Sachs knows that the answer to much of the chronic pain debacle resides in understanding that a person’s stress, repressed emotions, unresolved trauma, and smaller daily frustrations are causing nervous system dysregulation. The solution lies in rewiring the brain and nervous system’s misguided reflex to protect us with pain and syndromes. Through personal storytelling and patient case studies, Sachs chronicles how her prescription of JournalSpeak, mindset management, and self-affirming meditation has transformed her life and the lives of her many clients and retreat participants.

Psychotherapist Nicole J. Sachs was mentored by and worked alongside the late bestselling author and founder of Mindbody medicine, Dr. John Sarno. His daughter Christina Sarno Horner, LMHC says of Sachs, “After years working alongside my father, Dr. John Sarno, Nicole Sachs’s approach to chronic pain is the truest and most accessible evolution of Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) treatment. Her work captures the essential components for healing.”

ARISTOTLE’S GUIDE TO SELF-PERSUASION de Jay Heinrichs

Show yourself who’s in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun—from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing

ARISTOTLE’S GUIDE TO SELF-PERSUASION:
How Ancient Rhetoric, Taylor Swift, and Your Own Soul Can Help You Change Your Life
by Jay Heinrichs
Crown, April 2025
(via DeFiore and Company)

Rhetoric once sat at the center of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare, and Martin Luther King, Jr., used it to build empires, write deathless literature, and inspire democracies. Now it will help you to take leadership over yourself; not through pop psychology or empty inspiration, but with persuasive tools that have been tested for more than three thousand years. In Aristotle’s Guide to Self-Persuasion, Heinrichs helps readers persuade their most difficult audiences—themselves—by using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by our culture’s most persuasive characters. With their help, rhetoric can convert the most negative situations into positive ones.

Heinrichs brings in examples from history and pop culture—Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie—to illustrate the concepts. But the core of the book tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books, and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals?

Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the power of what language can do for you, Aristotle’s Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Jay Heinrichs is the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing. He spent twenty-six years as a writer, editor, and magazine publishing executive before becoming a full-time advocate for the lost art of rhetoric. He now lectures widely on the subject, to audiences ranging from Ivy League students and NASA scientists to Southwest Airlines executives, and runs the language blog figarospeech. He lives with his wife in New Hampshire.
