THE FOREVER JOURNAL d’Ashley Sirah Chea

There is so much beauty in telling your own story.

THE FOREVER JOURNAL
by Ashley Sirah Chea
Clarkson Potter, April 2024

After author and lifestyle blogger Ashley Sirah Chea’s sister passed away, she discovered that her young nephew became increasingly curious about the mother that he never got to know. Though she shared her sister’s stories with him to the best of her ability, she was constantly aware that he would never get to hear them in his mother’s own words. This experience inspired her to create THE FOREVER JOURNAL, a beautiful opportunity for parents and grandparents to write their own legacy and offer their families connection and comfort for years to come.

Through a series of prompts, parents will capture the stories of their lives, sharing memories and advice about growing up, finding love, nurturing friendships, becoming a parent, figuring out a career path, and so much more. With gorgeous illustrations, space to add photographs and letters, and a gussetted pocket to include even more memories, THE FOREVER JOURNAL is a written memento that families can cherish generation after generation.

Ashley Sirah Chea is a writer, former professional ballerina, and mother whose life has always prioritized the arts. With the success of her debut self-published children’s book BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ME, Ashley looks forward to creating more books that encourage a love of self, others, and community.

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.
