Holiday Book Recommendation for RomCom Fans

If you're looking for a good holiday gift for those who enjoy romantic comedies or coming of age novels, check out my editing client Michael Combs' new novel. "Lost Boy" examines the question "What if the love you lost was all the love you will ever know?"

This realization drives Mike, a massage therapist in Burbank, Calif., who through his daily struggles, masks his sorrow with humor, women, and alcohol. While searching for love, he and his best friend Keith traverse many hilarious relationship faux pas. Then he meets Gabi and must decide if he can open his heart or stay lost in the past.

When given a second chance, will he be able to find himself and love again or remain lost forever?

Holiday Book Recommendation for Philosophers

If you're looking for a good holiday gift for the thinker in your family – check out my editing client Anderson Silver's "Your Duality Within: A Study of Your Two Distinct & Inner Voices." Silver's book asks three basic questions ... Why do I act the way I do? How can I think one thing, and do another? I know better! Why do I feel like a different person some days, on top of the world sometimes and horrible at other times?

Silver has compiled teachings from Stoicism and other schools of thought in "Your Duality Within" to help you navigate through these questions. This collection of thoughts not only gives the reader much sought after answers but also provides the tools for managing the dual personality within in the ultimate pursuit of an anxiety-free life. Meant as a light read that the reader can come back to and meditate on periodically, "Your Duality Within" is a straightforward read in answering some of the most pressing questions about your own psyche.

Silver's book is available online in paperback or Kindle ebook.
