Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Reflections on Death, Rebirth, and Hunger for a Faith by Studs Terkel "Studs Terkel, a Chicago treasure and Pulitzer Prize winner, could not have predicted how the release of his latest book would coincide with the events of September 11, 2001, in an amazingly poignant and timely fashion. Like his other books, this one is a collection of interviews with a broad selection of people from all walks of life. Terkel, seeking a way to cope with the death of his wife of 60 years, Ida, set out on a project to examine what people thought about the one experience we will all have but will not be able to describe once we've had it: Death. The Prologue, interviews with two New York City brothers, revisits them from an earlier book. How uncanny that one is a fireman, one a policeman. I got goosebumps reading about events at the World Trade Center before September 11th. The stories are, when all is said and done, a celebration of life and, for want of a better word, "spirit." For anyone searching for meaning in recent events in America, this book will be a tremendous solace. The book ends with Mamie Mobley, mother of Emmett Till (whose murder in the '60's was as much the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement as Rosa Parks' bus seat) and I cried through the whole chapter. The epilogue, a story of two women and two children is the perfect ending of this examination of life, death and family. Had the events of September 11th never happened, I would have recommended this book highly. Because of September 11th, this book just has to be a 'best seller.'"

When Things Fall Apart : Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chodron "I recommend this book to any and everyone. I had been depressed for years and years and been to a doctor that didn't help too much, when I just happened to start reading this book. I read the first chapter and knew right away that I was on to something new and exciting that could help me. Once I read more, this book completely changed the way I see life and the way I view myself and my suffering. It turned me on to meditation and zen study and I have been doing it ever since and it has changed me and singlehandedly gotten rid of the depression. So, go out and read this book, regardless of whether you're depressed or not, or whether you believe in buddhist beliefs or not. This beautiful book can be helpful to anyone. It's something I go back and read when I'm having problems and something I've recommended to lots of people. A truely wonderful book."

The Blue Day Book by Bradley Trevor Greive "Every person who walks into my home stops to pick up this book. It is eye catching and appealing. Anyone simply opening the book to any page will find a wonderful picture and caption to enrich their day. But the true gold of the book comes when you sit down and read it cover to cover. This book gives you the human condition as seen through pictures of animals. One example is the picture of a Polar Bear, with his paw over his eyes. The caption is "You're about to burst into tears at any moment and you don't even know why." You identify with each page. Bradley Trevor Greive takes you from despair, to hope, to coping with life. You will not be disappointed with this book!"

The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by Dalai Lama, Howard C. Cutler "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit down with the Dalai Lama and really press him about life's persistent questions? Why are so many people unhappy? How can I abjure loneliness? How can we reduce conflict? Is romantic love true love? Why do we suffer? How should we deal with unfairness and anger? How do you handle the death of a loved one? These are the conundrums that psychiatrist Howard Cutler poses to the Dalai Lama during an extended period of interviews in The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living."
