About this deal

In this post, I’ve thought about my favourite feel-good books of all time. Some are lighthearted and funny books, while others are wholesome comfort reads.

I really enjoyed this really well-written and easy-to-read book. It talks about how we can make the world a much better place if we’d only build environments which make us smile and bring joy to our lives, instead of the usual, mundane gray spaces that so many of us are forced to live and work in. Every designer, architect, politician, civil servant and, in fact, everyone should read this book and start to make a difference in the patch where they live. (Read an excerpt here.) It was the first new identity that Samaritans had launched in that way,” explains Gilbert. “But it’s also one that just completely makes sense. And because of the power of the Samaritans brand, we felt we could be quite confident in using it in an understated way. People know that they’re supporting Samaritans through it, absolutely. But also know that it’s about the experience first and foremost.”Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings: How to Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Lifeby Dr. Laura Markham I wasn’t sure how I felt about this contemporary fiction book initially. Eleanor bugged me in a way that I could not identify. She is not supposed to be likable initially which is why I persevered and I ended up loving the book and Eleanor. NPR has named this book as one of the best in 2018. It challenges the conventional wisdom that anger, especially coming from women, is not a valid expression of emotion. Rage explores the importance of anger for women in these troubling political times as we take to the streets and occupy more political offices, and it reveals how stiffing our anger is part of a systematic pattern of power and oppression to silence women and prevent gender equality. (Read an excerpt from the book here.) The Feel Good Book Club has boosted income for Samaritans in an innovative way, but it has been more than that for its creators and especially for its members.

Taddeo spent nearly a decade getting to know three American women and learning in excruciating depth their complex experiences of sex. There’s Lina, who is going through a rut in her marriage and looks to an old high school flame to have an affair with. Maggie’s story is much darker, we hear her recount the teenage love affair she had with her teacher and the present day court proceedings she’s now involved in because of it. Sloane has a difficult relationship with love itself, her want to be desired continues to be taken advantage of and leads her to a tumultuous throuple situation with her husband. Taddeo gives us insider access to the treacherous world of sex and relationships. Why it makes a good book club book: Winter Street is the first book in the Winter Street series of four books, so if book club members like it, they can stay busy with the remainder of the series during the rest of the holiday season. It also offers the storylines of several family members to talk about.Wright writes with a combination of humility and wisdom, summarizing the best research on the science behind Buddhist practices in an approachable manner. This book makes me feel hopeful that there is a life beyond our human neuroses, no matter what form they take, and it’s a great read for both skeptics of meditation and experienced meditators.
