This book began with the author's husband gifting her with the words "good morning, beautiful" every day for a year. Bestselling author Robyn Spizman already knew how a few words could change the day of the recipient - and the deliverer. She had become a beloved TV persona talking about the little ways - from eye contact to compliments - that small (or large) acts of generosity could change giver and recipient alike. But her husband's action set her to thinking about how meaningful a simple, heartfelt word or gesture can be. From giving a grocery store clerk an eye-contact thank you to reminding fighting siblings how much they actually mean to one another, or sending a coworker a high-five email, each action Spizman explores reminds readers how powerful our every thought, word, and action can be.

This Is Your Mind on Plants
By Pollan, Michael
Of all the things humans rely on plants for--sustenance, beauty, fragrance, flavor, fiber--surely the most curious is our use of them is to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. Take coffee and tea: people around the world rely on caffeine to sharpen their minds. We don't usually think of caffeine as a drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and socially acceptable. So then what is a "drug?" And why, for example, is making tea from the leaves of a tea plant acceptable, but making tea from a seed head of an opium poppy a federal crime? In THIS IS YOUR MIND ON PLANTS, Michael Pollan dives deep into three plant drugs -- opium, caffeine, and mescaline -- and throws the fundamental strangeness, and arbitrariness, of our thinking about them into sharp relief.
