    The international phenomenon that has sold more than two million copies, If Cats Disappeared from the World–now a Japanese film–is a heartwarming, funny, and profound meditation on the meaning of life.

    The young postman’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family and living alone with only his cat, Cabbage, to keep him company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can tackle his bucket list, the devil shows up to make him an offer: In exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, the postman will be granted one extra day of life. And so begins a very strange week that brings the young postman and his beloved cat to the brink of existence.

    With each object that disappears, the postman reflects on the life he’s lived, his joys and regrets, and the people he’s loved and lost.

    This timeless tale from Genki Kawamura is a moving story of loss and reconciliation, and of one man’s journey to discover what really matters most in life.

  • Book of the Day: The Daily Stoic

    The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of LivingThe Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living
    by Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman

    Over 20,000 5-Star Reviews!

    Why have history’s greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today’s top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics?

    Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise.

    The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, and slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you’ll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms.

    By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you’ll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.

  • Book of the Day: When We Let Go

    When We Let GoWhen We Let Go by Rochelle B. Weinstein

    Over 2,000 5-Star Reviews!

    An emotional tale of mothers and daughters, loss and acceptance, When We Let Go is about the lessons that come from heartbreak and the healing it takes to embrace the joy of a second chance.

    When Avery Beckett is proposed to by Jude Masters, a widowed father and the man she loves, it should be a time of great joy. Instead, Avery is on edge. She’s wary of the idea of family, doubtful of happy endings, and too afraid to take the leap. It’s the kind of fear that comes from having secrets.

    Before Avery commits to a new life, she must reconcile with the one she left behind.

    When Avery returns to her childhood farm in the North Carolina mountains, she’s surprised to be saddled with a companion: Jude’s teenage daughter, Elle, who’s grappling with the loss of her mother and the complicated emotions of first love. On a path of mending wounds and breaking down walls, Avery and Elle form an unexpected alliance. It’s giving them the courage to move forward. And for Avery, everything she needs to confront the past.
