Enthusiasm


Book Description

"When someone asks for a reading suggestion, Enthusiasm is the first word off my tongue." --Stephenie Meyer, author of Twilight "There is little more likely to exasperate a person of sense than finding herself tied by affection and habit to an Enthusiast." Julie knows from bitter experience: her best friend, Ashleigh, is an Enthusiast. Ashleigh's current fancy is also Julie's own passion, Pride and Prejudice, and the heroine's quest for True Love. And so Julie finds herself swept along with Ashleigh, dressed in vintage frocks and sneaking into a dance at the local all-boys' prep school. There they discover several likely candidates for True Love, including the handsome and sensitive Parr. And Julie begins to wonder if maybe this obsession of Ashleigh's isn't so bad after all. . . . Fans of Jane Austen and Meg Cabot, and Maureen Johnson alike will swoon for Polly Shulman's charming novel.




Live With Enthusiasm


Book Description

Everyone wants to be happy. Where we differ is in our conception of what will bring us the happiness we seek. Money, power, position, sex, prestige-they all have this in common: no matter how much of them we have, we always want more, leaving real and lasting happiness always just beyond our reach. Are we doomed to chase happiness like a hamster on a wheel, moving ever more frantically but never getting anywhere? Author Kuldip Kal Rai says, "No." Drawing on more than twenty years of research and experience, Rai puts forward a more hopeful-and practical-approach in his book, Live With Enthusiasm: The Secrets of Balanced and Successful Living. According to Rai, all too often our lives feel out of control because we allow random events, other people's choices, and even our own emotions to rob us of our enthusiasm. But we can learn to take back control-mastering even our own emotions-with the goal of achieving a balanced life. And that factor-balance-is the real key to happiness. But this is not a book about theories. With a focus on how enthusiasm can be cultivated as a means to achieving a more balanced, successful, and happy life, Rai outlines step-by-step practical techniques that anyone can learn. If success seems always to elude you, if frantic activity robs you of any sense of balance, if happiness seems always a little further away, then this book may have just the insights you need-for you, too, can learn to Live With Enthusiasm!
