By Sue Frederick

Seems our course is charted; however, when the inner crab takes over, our chances tank; and when we soar with gratitude, life is sweet.

By Kimberly Wilson
Published February 1, 2010 (Paperback) New World Library
A few Sundays ago, I wandered into a studio in NW Portland called Barre 3, shucked my shoes, and padded into an inner sanctum ringed with floor-to-ceiling mirrors to meet the author of Tranquilista. About a dozen women sat in a circle on exercise mats on the floor, listening to Kimberly Wilson, all invited by the spectacular Katie Kelley, a local business coach.
Kimberly sparkled as she entered the room – Read the rest of this entry »

Add More ~ing To Your Life: A Hip Guide to Happiness
By Gabrielle Bernstein
Published January 12, 2010 (Paperback) QNY
Flying back from New York, I read a book whose cover showed a young blonde balanced on a skateboard on a trafficked city street, wearing angel wings. Having just been in my Manhattan hometown, I imagined the shoot — fearing, somewhat — for the angel, with cabs, cars and buses lumbering past her. But having read Add More ~ing to Your Life, I knew this chick could swing it.
Gabrielle Bernstein is the angel. She’s a new breed of self-help authors. Read the rest of this entry »

Confusion to Clarity: The Twentysomething’s Guide to Finding Your Calling
By Ann Elizabeth Grace
Published December 15, 2009
My passion is interviewing authors. Ask the right question, and healing wisdom flows forth. Sometimes, that wisdom even surprises the author when it pops out of her mouth. It’s an intuitive collaboration, I believe, that is guided by serendipity, the universe, God.
That happened today, Read the rest of this entry »

Confusion to Clarity: The Twentysomething’s Guide to Finding Your Calling
By Ann Elizabeth Grace
Published December 15, 2009 (Paperback) by Wheatmark
The first thought I had when I picked up — but hadn’t yet opened — Confusion to Clarity: The Twentysomething’s Guide to Finding Your Calling was been-there-done-that, and as some say, got-the-tee-shirt-in-the-seventies. Happily I was very, very wrong. Read the rest of this entry »

Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New You
By Deepak Chopra
I talked to a long-time friend today. Deepak Chopra and I have done close to a dozen interviews about his books over the years, many of those conversations knee-to-knee.
Today, we talked by phone on Open Book with Diana Page Jordan about his newest book Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul. God, he’s razor-edge brilliant. Deepak has written more than fifty books. How can someone be so prolific, and squeeze in, for example, our half-hour interview, and he was on The View earlier in the day, while writing a new book, while meeting with philanthropists about funding a more peaceful world.
