Hello, My Name Is Mommy: The Dysfunctional Girl's Guide to Having, Loving (and Hopefully Not Screwing Up) a Baby
Hilarious and true and inspirational, Hello, My Name is Mommy is for every pregnant woman and new mother who ever felt helpless and out of control instead of confident and aglow. Sure, women know pregnancy is no bed of roses, but Lynch taps into her own dysfunctional childhood and fears about becoming a mom to label a much profounder worry many moms-to-be have: that their own pasts were so screwed up that they're doomed to repeat the cycle. Dr. Spock may tell moms to trust their instincts, but Lynch's Misfit Mommies want to do every last thing but that. They feel like frauds and imposters, and Lynch's real-girl's voice will be instantly recognizable to them. Lynch will walk and talk new moms through it all: from lamenting the hot dogs and second-hand smoke they were raised on (and, of course, "you turned out just fine") to the realization that kids are kind of germy and gross (but feeling that way doesn't make one a bad mother) to keeping it together at work with Cheerios in the old nursing bra. .

Traveling Hopefully: How to Lose Your Family Baggage and Jumpstart Your Life
At age 40, Libby Gill felt like a fraud. A high-profile executive coach and strategist leading individuals and corporations to success, she was "flat-out miserable" inside, shaped by her past. Her journey as a "hopeful traveler intent on finding the purpose and the passion that would allow me to create the life I envisioned" led her to share her process to fulfillment in Traveling Hopefully. Â Gill combines detailed, often painful excerpts from her personal story ("an expert in suffering," she calls herself) with client anecdotes to illustrate her Five Steps to Jumpstart Your Life and 21 Hopeful Tools: philosophical concepts turned into self-help exercises and action steps. Her point is that you need to look back at the "emotional relics" of your family legacy, understand how you got stuck there, then "deconstruct your past" in order to move forward towards your goals. Each tool is presented with detailed, step-by-step instructions in Gill's warm, personal style. You'll feel like you have an understanding coach by your side, supporting you through each step, sharing her own story as she coaxes you to reveal, understand, and move past your own. Foreword by Dr. Phil McGraw. --Joan Price.

To Travel Hopefully: Footsteps In The French Cevennes
"Travel, in a word, is for people who have nothing better to do." The slanted eyes on the other side of the vodka bottle narrowed "It seems to me, my friend, that you have nothing better to do." Journeying along the road traveled by Robert Louis Stevenson in his famed travelogue "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes", fellow Scot Christopher Rush has written a modern classic. Accompanied by a donkey named Anatole, Rush tries not to make an ass out of himself on his journey from Le Monastier- Sur-Gazelle to St. Jean-Du-Gard. Realizing many of his worst fears, Rush is forced to ford raging streams buck naked, confronted by menacing hunters, lashed by torrential storms, often hungry and always directionally challenged. But with a little help from his friends Philip Larkin, Spanish thinker Miguel de Unamuno, Pablo Neruda and the Bard of Avon, the Scotsman turns these unfortunate events into a spiritual quest that raises the bar on travel writing. Following the agnostic Stevenson's path to a monastery where one of the monks resembles Buddy Holly, Rush discovers the "romance of those who are abroad in the black hours." A moving tribute to the memory of his late wife Patricia, To Travel Hopefully is Christopher Rush's poetic journey of the spirit through the south of France..

Dinosaur: Some Critical and Hopefully Amusing Thoughts About Modern Economic Theory and Social Practice
This book is what its subtitle and subtitle say. It is a collection of critical, and hopefully amusing, comments on modern economic theory and social and political practice, made by a retired old professor. The comments were written between 1996 and 2007 for the student association ECU 92 of Utrecht University. Several deal with economic theory, but most with the influence current events exerted upon economic thought and policies. The author tried to present his critical views in an amusing manner to keep the readers comfortable, while telling them some often rather uncomfortable truths. The book should appeal to young people interested in politics, economics and sociology. Though mainly written for Europeans, and often alluding to European events, the comments will also be of interest to Americans..
