ADVANCE INFORMATION From Heartbreak to Wholeness The Hero's Journey to Joy Kristine Carlson 9781250266637 Self Help; Mind, Body & Spirit > Death, Grief, Bereavement St. Martin's Press ǀ Rs 599 ǀ 260pp ǀ TPB ǀ Royal June 27, 2019 Bestselling co-creator of the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series offers a practical plan to recover joy in the face of grief and loss Kristine Carlson built the bestselling franchise Don't Sweat the Small Stuff with her husband Richard. In December 2006, Richard died suddenly and Kristine was left to "sweat" one of the biggest events of her life—the death of her spouse. In her new book, From Heartbreak to Wholeness, Carlson offers a guide to the journey everyone takes following loss. It’s a hero’s journey from a life that’s been shattered to one that is finally whole again and capable of receiving joy. Carlson knows that any great loss leads to some type of transformation. She also knows that transformation is messy, but, when one chooses to be the hero rather than the victim, joy exists just on the other side of healing. In nine short chapters that include thought exercises, mantras for each stage of healing, and a journaling assignment, Carlson leads the reader from the crisis itself through the awakening that comes from great loss, over the jagged edges of growth and finally, through the alchemy of change, to rebirth as a hero who is sovereign, whole and—once again—in control of their own life. As readers take this journey with Carlson, they’ll feel more at home in their own bodies and more authentic to their true nature. They’ll feel more alive and access more joy than they thought possible. Take the journey From Heartbreak to Wholeness with Kristine Carlson and let her show you how to be the hero of your own life. Kristine Carlson has captivated readers worldwide with her previous books including Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Moms, An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love, and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women.

It’s also an important book. Bahcall, a physicist and biotech entrepreneur, is unfolding the secrets behind successes everywhere." —RICHARD PRESTON, AUTHOR OF THE HOT ZONE AND THE WILD TREES Loonshot: A neglected project, widely dismissed, its champion written off as unhinged What do James Bond and Lipitor have in common? Why do traffic jams appear out of nowhere on highways? What can we learn about innovation from a glass of water? In Loonshots, physicist and entrepreneur Safi Bahcall reveals a surprising new way of thinking about the mysteries of group behavior and the challenges of nurturing radical breakthroughs. Drawing on the science of phase transitions, Bahcall shows why teams, companies, or any group with a mission will suddenly change from embracing wild new ideas to rigidly rejecting them, just as flowing water will suddenly change into brittle ice. Oceans of print have been written about culture. Loonshots identifies the small shifts in structure that control this transition, the same way that temperature controls the change from water to ice. Using examples that range from the spread of fires in forests to the hunt for terrorists online, and stories of thieves and geniuses and kings, Bahcall shows how this new kind of science helps us understand the fate of companies and empires. Loonshots distills these insights into lessons for creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries everywhere. Over the past decade, researchers have been applying the tools and techniques of phase transitions to understand how birds flock, fish swim, brains work, people vote, criminals behave, ideas spread, diseases erupt, and ecosystems collapse. If twentieth- century science was shaped by the search for fundamental laws, like quantum mechanics and gravity, the twenty-first will be shaped by this new kind of science. Loonshots is the first to apply this science to help all of us unlock our potential to create and nurture the crazy ideas that change the world. Author Bio: SAFI BAHCALL received his BA summa cum laude in physics from Harvard and his PhD from Stanford. After working for three years as a consultant for McKinsey, he co-founded a biotechnology company developing new drugs for cancer and served as its CEO for 13 years. In 2008, he was named E&Y New England Biotechnology Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2011, he worked with the president's council of science advisors (PCAST) on the future of national research.

Pan Macmillan India Rights: Indian Subcontinent ADVANCE INFORMATION CORRESPONDENTS Tim Murphy 9781529020403 General Fiction > War Fiction Macmillan ǀ Rs 599 ǀ 448pp ǀ TPB ǀ Royal June 27, 2019 By turns funny and poignant, and moving from New England to the Middle East, Correspondents is an epic family saga, for fans of The Kite Runner and The Sympathizer. Spanning the breadth of the twentieth century and into the post-9/11 wars and their legacy, Correspondents is a powerful novel that centers on Rita Khoury, an Irish-Lebanese woman whose life and family history mirrors the story of America. Both sides of Rita's family came to the United States in the golden years of immigration, which we see beautifully rendered in the first part of the novel, and in her home north of Boston Rita grows into a stubborn, perfectionist, and relentlessly bright young woman. She studies Arabic at university and moves to cosmopolitan Beirut to work as a journalist, and is then posted to Iraq after the American invasion in 2003. In Baghdad, Rita finds for the first time in her life that her safety depends on someone else, her talented interpreter Nabil al-Jumaili, an equally driven young man from a middle-class Baghdad family who is hiding a secret about his sexuality. As Nabil's identity threatens to put him in jeopardy and Rita's position becomes more precarious as the war intensifies, their worlds start to unravel, forcing them out of the country and into an uncertain future. Correspondents by Tim Murphy is a powerful story about the legacy of immigration, the present-day world of refugeehood, the violence that America causes both abroad and at home, and the power of the individual and the family to bring good into a world that is often brutal. Author Bio: Tim Murphy is the author of Christodora, longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal. He has reported on health, politics, and culture for twenty years, for such publications as POZ Magazine, where he was an editor and staff writer, Out, the New York Times, and New York. He lives in Brooklyn. *** PRAISE FOR THE TITLE 'Murphy artfully connects multiple narratives to produce a sprawling tale of love, family, duty, war, and displacement.
