What reviewers are saying about this series:
THE RUNAWAY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - AS HEARD ON NPR MORNING EDITION AND ON BEING WITH KRISTA TIPPETT
“Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name.” —Krista Tippett, On Being
“Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book.” —Elizabeth Gilbert
"Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark...May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate—capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes." —Wall Street Journal
From the bestselling author of the New York Times bestseller Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age, this is an intimate, revelatory exploration of the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down.
Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered.
A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas.
Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.

All words are made up. All words spoken between us are nothing more than made-up sounds from manipulated air. They're just lung puffs. All of the letters that we text, email, and write are made-up symbols to coincide with our made-up noise. It's really just hand scribbles. This would mean that everything from existence theories to religious ideologies to politics to our names and much more are all one hundred percent fabricated from thin air, literally. In fact, these words here and the pronunciation sounds you hear in your head as you read the symbols on this page are made up as well. Essentially, this book uses made-up words to further dissect and clarify other made-up words. However, by the end of this mental deconstruction and rebuild, you will walk away with this liberating awareness—we just are. Existence just is.
"To All That Speak is a trailblazing look at the power words have over us as humans. Brandon has had an epiphany and believes that all words are made up. This simple, yet profound realization has changed his life forever and this book explores how it can change your life as well. Brandon breaks down all languages to their basic components of 'hand scribbles' and 'lung puffs.' He goes on to detail three ways that understanding these notions can improve us, the people around us, and society as a whole. If we can all grasp the concept of language as having been made up, then that would impact three key aspects unique to humans: our existence, religion, and politics. Brandon's revolutionary idea is unparalleled but has at its core a fact that every one of us should be acquainted with. Brandon uses wit to make his revelation as enjoyable as it is significant. He has a real knack for seeing the comic side of an otherwise serious topic. If everyone could grasp the important life lessons it teaches, the world would be a much better place."

Discover how a healthy, gluten-free diet can transform your health with these easy, scrumptious, home-cooked recipes
Ever since humans started farming, one particular type of grain – consisting of the wheat, barley, and rye varieties – rose to high prominence.
Fast-forward to modern times, and you’ll find that these grains have become popular across the globe, especially in their millions of ground, kneaded, and baked avatars.
Oh yes, bread… bread of all kinds, shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors.
You can’t outrun this culinary staple, for it haunts every kitchen, cuisine, restaurant, fast-food chain, and roadside stand, lurking in bread doughs.
You can also find it plaguing your small intestines in the form of gluten.
Normally, this protein is not that big of a deal, but when you have gluten intolerance, it can wreak havoc in your body by:
And if you have celiac disease – in which your small intestine is hypersensitive to gluten – consuming such foods can reduce your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Sadly, modern science does not have an answer to what causes gluten-intolerances, but that doesn’t mean there is no way to dodge this pesky protein.
Not only can you make food WITHOUT having to rely on anything wheat or gluten-related, but you can also make it so delicious, you will have a hard time keeping yourself from second and third helpings.
Within this magical ride to gluten-free cooking, you will discover:
And much more.

Struggling to be an entrepreneur? Forget what you know. Success is not about how to win . . . It’s about how to lose.
With thousands of books and courses on entrepreneurship, why aren’t there more successful entrepreneurs? The answer is simple—we have been teaching it all wrong. In Winners and Losers, award-winning speaker Don Schmincke uses research from his many anthropological expeditions across the world, scientific data, and his experience training over thirty thousand CEOs to uncover the truth. Instead of looking at what successful entrepreneurs did right, Schmincke looks at what happened before their successes. What he found was that their paths were littered with mistakes, misguided assumptions, and major losses. Could the key to their successful entrepreneurship actually lie in their failures?
Unlike entrepreneurship books that focus on how to win, Schmincke deviates from the status quo and reveals that the real secret is in how to lose—powerfully. True success arises from the inevitable losses that come with risky ventures.
With a straightforward, humorous, and often politically incorrect approach, Winners and Losers offers anyone with entrepreneurial dreams unique management methods and scientific models to help build a framework for success.
Moments of despair birth real entrepreneurship. It’s time to embrace the loss.

The Alpha Woman
Who is She? Who Should She Date? How do You Become One?
Alpha women are wonderfully beautiful and confident women who are often misunderstood. An alpha woman finds success in many things, is a cheerleader for those around her, and is someone most people want to be around, and yet, these women struggle to find happiness in their romantic relationships.
Why is that?
Because they’re seeking out the wrong men! Alpha women are drawn to alpha men and vice versa, but this pairing often doesn’t work. Often, a beta male would be her better fit.
Talia Goldstein, founder and CEO of matchmaking company, Three Day Rule, conducted her own study of alpha females and their dating preferences with interesting results.
In her study, eighty-one percent of the women she studied self-identified as alpha females and dismissed the idea of dating a beta male, feeling they wanted another alpha who was equal to them in power and personality. The study also showed that seventy-three percent of those women rejected a beta male after the first date because he didn’t follow up. Clearly a misunderstanding of the beta.
When these alpha women gave their beta male companions a second chance, their odds of finding happiness significantly increased!
In this book, you will learn what characterizes alpha women, alpha men, and beta men. You’ll also find many beta man myths debunked. Beta men are as misunderstood as alpha women, but you’ll learn all about them here!
You’ll also uncover how to find a relationship that’s right for you, whether it’s with an alpha or beta man. If you want an alpha, you’ll discover how to make that work, and if you think a beta man is better for you, you’ll learn how to make that work too.
This book digs into the Female Led Relationship. Here you’ll discover what a beta man expects from his alpha woman and how he can truly be the perfect man for her.
If you feel you’re not an alpha, and you desire to be one, you’ll also find tips on how you can become more of an alpha women.
This book is for you if you’ve struggled to find happiness in your relationships. Men might find you too powerful and intimidating.
It’s for you if you’re frustrated with the dating scene while every other part of your life is smooth sailing.
Don’t give up who you are at your core. Instead, learn how to date these types of men. Your happiness could be just one beta man away!
