    • Astrology is an ancient practice used by our ancestors to plan their life by the stars. Over the years we have lost touch with the universe around us and the important framework it can provide us to get the most out of life. The Signswill help you to discover more about yourself by teaching you how to interpret your natal chart (the arrangement of the stars at the time of our birth). By looking at how your chart impacts each aspect of your life and contributes to overall well-being, astrology encourages us to be more aware of others and ourselves and helps to modify how we react to other people and the situations we find ourselves in. This is not a crystal ball in which to read the future but instead should be seen as a path guiding you toward greater control of your life.

      A New York Times bestseller, this novel was adapted into an Oscar-winning film featuring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. It narrates the poignant journey of a man grappling with his wife's betrayal and his quest for self-discovery. After spending time in a mental health facility, Pat Peoples develops a theory about silver linings, believing his life is a movie directed by God. His goals are to become physically fit, emotionally supportive, and ultimately reunite with his estranged wife, Nikki. Upon returning to his parents' home, Pat finds everything transformed: conversations about Nikki are off-limits, his friends have moved on, the Philadelphia Eagles are losing, and his new therapist seems to endorse infidelity as therapy. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Tiffany, a widowed and clinically depressed woman. She proposes a deal to help him connect with Nikki, requiring him to stop watching football, participate in a Dance Away Depression competition, and keep their agreement secret. As Pat navigates these challenges, he continues to search for his silver lining. This debut novel offers a unique glimpse into Pat's mind, presenting a touching and humorous exploration of depression and love.
