Inspired by a 19th century sermon by Henry Drummond offering a deeper understanding of love, here Coelho explains love as the culmination of nine elements, which we can incorporate into our everyday lives for an instant connection to life's most important gift: <ol><li>patience,</li><li>kindness,</li><li>generosity,</li><li>humility,</li><li>gentleness,</li><li>dedication,</li><li>tolerance,</li><li>sincerity, and</li><li>innocence.</li></ol> In The Supreme Gift, Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, a fable of following your dream and one of Oprah’s “Best Self-Help Books of a Generation,” offers a real and powerful message that will help us incorporate love into our daily life and experience all its transformational power.Freely adapted from the text by Henry Drummond

Lift Touch and Learn First Words: Animals

A profound exploration of the art and magic of writing by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende. In this deeply personal and insightful book, Isabel Allende delves into her creative process, reflecting on nearly half a century of writing that has captivated millions of readers worldwide. For Isabel, writing is more than a craft. It is an addiction, a means of preserving memory, and a way to make sense of life. She offers readers an intimate glimpse into her creative world, where stories take shape through intuition, discipline, and a deep connection to the human experience. It is also a glimpse into the life of a writer who views literature as a portal to understanding the chaos of life. Story Telling is not a prescriptive guide to writing. Rather, it is a conversation. In it, Isabel shares her triumphs, mistakes, and lessons learned from the challenges and joys of writing. She intertwines her own stories with invaluable wisdom for anyone pursuing the craft, making this book equally a memoir, a masterclass in the alchemy of storytelling, and a celebration of the enduring power of stories.

Critical Connections

#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections A vibe—a special connection between people that creates a spark—is an engine of happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As social media forces face-to-face interaction behind digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized than ever, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly, and closeness doesn’t always take time. Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. Vibe will change how you approach your interactions. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better—and help others get better too.
