Can you imagine going to bed every night knowing you might wake up blind, deaf, paralyzed, or worse - not at all? Ellis Michaels doesn't have to imagine it. He's been living it for decades. And so have thousands of others diagnosed with Behcet's disease. Like Crohn's, Lupus, fibromialgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, MS, and dozens of other illnesses, Behcet's is an autoimmune disease. Though each is unique, they all cause the body to attack itself. And Ellis's body has been kicking the crap out of him for decades. Here are just a few of the horrible symptoms he's experienced: Massive blood clots (DVTs) in both legs A clot in his inferior vena cava (vein going to the heart) Deep, open ulcers in his mouth Quarter-sized open sores on his... On the last place a guy would want them Severe eye inflammation leading to blindness that literally happened overnight Golf-ball-sized cysts on his face, neck, and ears And that was all before Ellis had even turned 18. Living with Behcet's disease (sometimes called Behcet's syndrome) can be an everyday struggle filled with pain and suffering. And while Ellis's journey has been a bumpy one to say the least, filled with depression, anxiety, drug addiction, and at times utter despair, he's managed to live an awesome life in spite of his diagnosis. By learning to see the silver linings of his illness, by focusing on the positives instead of the negatives, Ellis transformed his mind, his body, and his entire life. This is the story of how Ellis Michaels managed to find happiness through the pain and embarrassment of living with Behcet's disease. *** Warning! This memoir contains language and subject matter that might not be suitable for sensitive readers. There are discussions about drug use, mental illness, sex, suicide, and certain below-the-belt body parts. If you find these topics or occasional profanity distasteful, this book won't be your cup of tea. But Behcet's is a distasteful disease and can't be discussed in an open and honest manner without including these things. ***

"Karen Walrond shines her light so we can find our own." —Brené Brown Many of us have strong convictions. We want to advocate for causes we care about--but which ones? We want to work for change--but will the emotional toll lead to burn out? Leadership coach, lawyer, photographer, and activist Karen Walrond knows that when you care deeply about the world, light can seem hard to find. But when your activism grows out of your joy--and vice versa--you begin to see light everywhere. In The Lightmaker's Manifesto, Walrond helps us name the skills, values, and actions that bring us joy; identify the causes that spark our empathy and concern; and then put it all together to change the world. Creative and practical exercises, including journaling, daily intention-setting, and mindful self-compassion, are complemented by lively conversations with activists and thought leaders such as Valarie Kaur, Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Zuri Adele. With stories from around the world and wisdom from those leading movements for change, Walrond beckons readers toward lives of integrity, advocacy, conviction, and joy. By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn how to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. We learn how to become makers of light.

Every blizzard begins with a single snowflake. Rhys and his 3 closest friends are young adventurers trying to make a name for themselves in a world filled with monsters and magic. When they're sent on a royal quest to investigate rumors of a strange phenomenon happening up north, they get their chance. People all over the continent of Ravnia have been talking about frozen, white rain falling from the sky up north. Ravnia's sometimes warm, sometimes cool: never hot, never cold. This icy, white rain - which is being calling snow - has never known to exist. And many doubt it's real: snow deniers, they're often called. But Rhys believes in snow and hopes to see it for himself when they get up north. Along the way, the adventurers encounter strange monsters and even stranger happenings in the towns they visit. Fire magic is banned everywhere they go, enforced by magical-adherence knights (MAKs). Groups like ANTIMA want to ban all magic, using the very thing they claim to be against to push their beliefs on others. Black and white mages have been replaced by non-binary wizards. Anti-axers and pro-knifers clash over the possibility of a bladed-weapons ban. And then there are the social-judgment wizards (SJWs) who use their magic to silence anyone who speaks out against them. But the further along Rhys and the others get in their quest, the more they realize things aren't as they seem. Has the king and queen sent them on a fool's errand? Or have they stumbled upon a plot much more sinister than any of them ever could've imagined? If you like medieval fantasy filled with humor and satire, you'll love Snow by Ellis Michaels. This satirical sword-and-sorcery page-turner is intended for mature audiences.

'He explains how even in the face of the unthinkable, happiness is still possible' – Stylist Solve for Happy is the equation for happiness. A startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive with an engineer's training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem. Mo Gawdat, a remarkable thinker whose gifts had landed him top positions in half a dozen companies and who – in his spare time – had created significant wealth, realized that he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would, examining all the provable facts and scrupulously following logic. When he was finished, he had discovered the equation for enduring happiness. Ten years later, that research saved him from despair when his college-aged son, Ali – also intellectually gifted – died during routine surgery. In dealing with the loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of 'moonshot' that he and his Google [X] colleagues were always aiming for: he would help ten million people become happier by pouring his happiness principles into a book and spreading its message around the world. One of Solve for Happy's key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps, we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g., the illusion of time, of control, and of fear); overcome the brain's seven deadly defects (e.g., the tendency to exaggerate, label, and filter), and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g., change is real, now is real, unconditional love is real). By means of several highly original thought experiments, Mo helps readers find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence.

Allah said about the Prophet's Companions: "And the foremost to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun and the Ansar and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well pleased with Him." (9:100) And Messenger of Allah said: "My Companions are the surety of safety and when they leave this world, this Ummah will be afflicted with the Fitnah." (Muslim) According to this general rule, we should follow all the facets of the life of the Prophet's Companions so that we may attain some of their qualities. The author has compiled in a most authentic way the life history of the 18 greatest Companions of the Prophet. We, at Darussalam, have published this valuable book in two volumes for the guidance of the Muslim Ummah especially for the young generation to follow them in every aspect of their life

Happiness is driven by the lens through which you view your world, which is driven by the way you feel, about yourself. This feeling is controlled by four levers. Your behaviours, your thoughts, belief and gratitude. My theory on happiness is that what we desire most is to feel good about ourselves, to be comfortable in our skin, and to be at peace with who we are. Because if the human condition is that feeling of “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not loveable”, or “there must be something wrong with me”, surely it must stand to be true that the thing we seek most is the opposite. My life is the journey, struggle and battle to feel good, about myself. And through that journey, I found happiness. And this essay is the roadmap I created for myself to achieve just that.

If you've experienced trauma—whether as a result of common life events like accidents or abusive personal relationships or extraordinary experiences like war or natural disasters—you may find that the pain and emotional unease you feel don't go away over time. In fact, they may get worse. But the trauma you experienced lies in the unchangeable past. Because of your strength and perseverance, you survived, and now the rest of your life stretches before you. How do you want to live it? Finding Life Beyond Trauma is about living life well after a traumatic event. It uses the powerful techniques of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you take a different approach to painful feelings and chart a new course for a rich and meaningful life. First, you'll learn to accept the pain, sadness, and anxiety that can arise in connection to your trauma. By exploring mindfulness techniques, you'll be able to remain present with painful feelings and stop avoiding the thoughts and situations that bring them up. Instead of focusing on the past, you'll clarify what you want your life to be about right now and in the future. With your values clearly in mind, commit to actions that will express them in your life—guided by the powerful tools you'll find in this book.

This book is about my life journey, about finding myself as I was lost in my fears and the battle with shame and guilt, and about how my spiritual life-guided by God-is full of twists and turns as I experienced his leading voice and as he silently toured me through it all: the struggle of an inherited fear of being alone; my suppressed feelings of hope for a better day through a life of pain, struggles, hurt, and disappointments; trying to reach, through faith and hope, a place of peace, happiness, and true joy within myself; being taught life struggles through shame, pain, and personal struggles; victory through inner healing and a meaningful purpose; the lost hope experienced in witnessing my husband's murder; and learning that we can spend time helping others, never ourselves. We can carry others when they need carrying but leave ourselves behind with no one to carry us but God. Sometimes our heartfelt love for God is tested, and we should not allow that test to push us away from his presence. This is to encourage the reader that your hopes and dreams, which are in you, are put there as a goal and platform for your life. No matter how long it takes, keep hoping you will fulfill that destiny and keep reaching, and the inner spirit will guide you, help you, and heal you then place you in life's purpose. You will learn that there is a hidden plan for everyone's life, but unfortunately, everyone doesn't push long enough to acquire it.
