The smiling land : all around the circle in my Newfoundland and Labrador / by Doyle, Alan,1969-author.;
"From one of Canada's most beloved and celebrated Newfoundlanders comes a rollicking insider's guide to the province, told as only Alan Doyle can tell it. Few Canadian musicians or authors are as synonymous with their home province as Alan Doyle is with Newfoundland. And now Alan wants to introduce the rest of the world to his home, taking readers on a freewheeling, eclectic trip through the province. From Fogo Island to the Southwest Coast, Labrador to Ferryland and everywhere in-between, Alan's Newfoundland awaits. There are plenty of stops along the way to admire the sites and take in the history and culture. Among the stops, a discussion of Newfoundland's eccentric place names, which include Horse Chops Island, Bread and Cheese Cove, and, the (in)famous, Dildo. There are visits to wind-swept coastlines and towering crags, former Beothuk, Viking and Basque settlements, as well as more recent settlements, such as Foley's Shed, a jaunty live-music pub that ... as its name suggests ... happens to be located in some guy named Foley's shed. There are savvy insider tips, such as how to score fish and chips and a free ride by hopping into the delivery person's car as they deliver your food to your desired destination. And what tour of Alan's Newfoundland could be complete without a short history of what can best be described as "icebergs that look like things," an illustrious history that includes an exact replica of the Virgin Mary that once washed into St. John's harbour, and the more recent ... and far less holy ... "Dickie Berg," which made international headlines for looking like ... well, not the Virgin Mary. Wildly entertaining, informative and brimming with Alan's classic brand of storytelling and romping good fun, The Smiling Land is sure to delight even the most travel-adverse reader among us"--

Beyond anxiety : curiosity, creativity, and finding your life's purpose / by Beck, Martha Nibley,1962-author.;
"From bestselling author Martha Beck, a new path to overcoming anxiety by awakening the creativity within. We live in an epidemic of anxiety. Most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. And for a while it works. But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we've been trying to climb out of. In Beyond Anxiety, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy. Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Beck explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an "anxiety spiral," a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To climb out, we must engage different parts of our nervous system -- the parts involved in creativity. Beck provides instructions for engaging the "creativity spiral," in a process that not only shuts down anxiety but leads to innovative problem solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful, intimate connection with others -- and with the world. The opposite of anxiety, it turns out, is a wonderful new way of life -- one that can calm and inspire us as individuals and help us become a source of healing for everything around us"--
