Sounds True, Nov.
The poet, storyteller, and author of over a dozen books (including 2000’s The Book of Awakening, with more than 383,000 print units sold since Nielsen BookScan began keeping records in 2004) draws on his experience coping with cancer to offer advice for surviving crises—physical, mental, and otherwise.

Get Smart!
Brian Tracy
Tarcher, Feb. 2016
Building on the success of 2007’s Eat That Frog (almost 312,000 print units sold, according to BookScan), this new title from the productivity guru draws on recent brain research to offer tactics for training one’s mind to work more effectively. Tracy promises to help readers reprogram their thinking so they can supercharge their planning, goal setting, and daily efficiency.
