Book Description
David Sedaris, the “champion storyteller,” (Los Angeles Times) returns with his first new collection of personal essays since the bestselling Calypso Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask—or not—was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he’s stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most. To cope, he walks for miles through a nearly deserted city, smelling only his own breath. He vacuums his apartment twice a day, fails to hoard anything, and contemplates how sex workers and acupuncturists might be getting by during quarantine. As the world gradually settles into a new reality, Sedaris too finds himself changed. His offer to fix a stranger’s teeth rebuffed, he straightens his own, and ventures into the world with new confidence. Newly orphaned, he considers what it means, in his seventh decade, no longer to be someone’s son. And back on the road, he discovers a battle-scarred America: people weary, storefronts empty or festooned with Help Wanted signs, walls painted with graffiti reflecting the contradictory messages of our time: Eat the Rich. Trump 2024. Black Lives Matter. In Happy-Go-Lucky, David Sedaris once again captures what is most unexpected, hilarious, and poignant about these recent upheavals, personal and public, and expresses in precise language both the misanthropy and desire for connection that drive us all. If we must live in interesting times, there is no one better to chronicle them than the incomparable David Sedaris.

Book Description
It is easy to be happy, but there is a prerequisite. We first must understand how happiness works. Like anything else in life, things become a lot easier once we understand them. Doing math, for example, is only difficult as long as we don't understand it. Happiness works on the same principle. Rather than teaching us how happiness works, society presents us with stepping-stones on the road to happiness, such as: if you study this, you will get that job, and then you will be happy. If you own this, you will impress your friends, and then you will be happy. If you eat healthy and exercise regularly, you will lose those pounds, and then you will be happy. Lucky Go Happy is not a stepping-stone and will ? demonstrate how we lose out on more than 70 percent of potential happy time by living for weekends; ? explain how contentment can yield the same amount of happiness as ecstasy; ? provide concrete proof that money can never make us happy; ? highlight why it is absolutely essential to be unhappy at times; ? illustrate how a midlife crisis happens; ? offer the simple formula to calculate the amount of happiness, or unhappiness, you experience; ? show that happiness is not around the next corner; it is here and now; and ? help you understand how happiness works. Written for teenagers and adults, this easy-to-read book will equip you with the knowledge to make you happier and happy more often. Rather than waiting for it, you can make happiness happen for yourself and for those around you. ?Money makes the world go round; however, happiness greases the axle. Without this lubricant, life will seize.?

When life looks radically different than the plan we have for ourselves, it's the lucky few that recognize God's plan is best.

As the mother of three adopted children - two with Down syndrome - Heather Avis has learned that it's truly the lucky few who get to live a life like hers, who actually recognize that God's plans are best, even when they seem so radically different from the plans we have for ourselves. When Heather started her journey into parenthood she never thought it would look like this, never planned to have three adopted children, and certainly never imagined that two of them would have Down syndrome. But like most things God does, once she stepped into the craziness and confusion that comes with the unknown and the unplanned, she realized that they were indeed among the lucky few. Discover in this book what 70,000+ followers of Heather's hit Instagram account @macymakesmyday already know: the power of faith and family can help us stay strong in the toughest times. This book will also be especially touching to those with adopted family members or children with Down syndrome in their lives.
