Larry Dossey
The Extraordinary Healing Power of Everyday Things
Harmony/Random House
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Larry Dossey, long hailed as one of the founding fathers of mind-body medicine, directs our attention to simple sources of healing that have been available for centuries—treasures often hidden in plain sight—from the power of optimism and of tears to speed recovery to the surprising usefulness of dirt and bugs in curing disease and infection to the benefits of doing nothing. The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things was named one of “The Ten Best Spiritual Books of 2006” by Spirituality & Health.
Dr. James O. Hill and Dr. John C. Peters
The Step Diet
Workman
Developed by weight-loss experts Drs. James O. Hill and John C. Peters, co-founders of America on the Move™, The Step Diet is a motivational walking program that combines a book and a pedometer and a simple concept called energy balance. First, use the pedometer to figure out how many steps you take in an average day, then raise the number by 2,000—it's as easy as pacing while talking on the phone, or parking at the far end of the lot. Second, eat one-quarter less of your food, which counteracts our tendency to supersize meals. Once balance is achieved, get fit and lose weight by adding more steps to your day.

Marc Silver
Breast Cancer Husband
Rodale Books
When his wife Marsha was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, U.S. News & World Report editor Marc Silver was not prepared—not only for her diagnosis, but also for his new role as a breast cancer husband. In Breast Cancer Husband, Treatment, and Beyond, Silver provides other breast cancer husbands with the manual he never had: a comprehensive guide to supporting, encouraging, and caring for their wives at every step in the process. News analyst and breast cancer survivor Cokie Roberts called it “the book that breast cancer patients and their families have been waiting for. Here’s a practical guide for the too many husbands who will need it.”
