YOUR TURN: HOW TO CREATE A MIDLIFE YOU LOVE - coming 9/8/2026
Allison Aubrey, an award-winning health and science correspondent for NPR News and contributor to CBS Sunday Morning, has written your guide to thriving in midlife!
YOUR TURN is filled with energizing wisdom from women in midlife and beyond who share practical ways to reclaim physical and emotional health, from mindset to exercise, mahjong to forest bathing.

Meet US Army Private First Class Angel Munoz, one of the many servicemen and women featured in THE HERO NEXT DOOR.
Angel Munoz is a Gold Star sister, Army veteran, and advocate who turned unimaginable loss into a mission of healing and awareness. After losing two brothers connected to the Iraq War—one in combat and one to suicide—she found purpose in sharing their stories and speaking openly about grief, trauma, and the invisible wounds carried by military families.

THE 25TH HOUR - coming 8/11/26
How much time do we lose to fear, overthinking, conflict, and self-doubt?
A lot. That is the premise of THE 25TH HOUR.
Our reactions and emotions quietly eat away at our time and energy. In his decades as a CEO and leadership partner to other founders, leaders, and operators, Neal Schore has learned that the biggest gains come less from trying to manage the calendar and more from managing yourself.
THE 25TH HOUR equips you with proven tools and practical methods to regain control of your focus, remain grounded and effective, communicate with clarity and impact, build lasting trust and credibility, and make confident, well-informed decisions with greater consistency and less hesitation.

It all started with the weeds growing alongside the curb or poking out in between the cracks of the sidewalk. It all started with me asking my body, WTAF? It all started with a leap of faith to build a new life with my family in Vermont where the wilderness and those weeds really came into focus. It all started with the late Euell Gibbons, author of Stalking the Wild Asparagus, whose writing inspired my love of eating wild plants but also a new way to walk through this life.
I became a woman obsessed; not just with finding and nibbling an array of wild plants (and what most people consider nuisance weeds), but with learning more about Euell. Most people remember him from the Grape Nut commercials in the '70s. He was so much more, and I can't wait for the world to truly meet him.
THE BEAUTIFUL BITTER, a memoir of foraging, self-discovery, and the inspiration that is the late Euell Gibbons will be published by @simonandschuster / @avidreaderpress in the spring of 2028.
I can't express my gratitude enough for the people who encouraged me, talked me down from the ledge, took time out of their busy schedules to offer advice, and helped to make this actually happen. You know who you are. To my agent @lindsay_edgecome of @lgrlit and my editor Joy de Menil: oh my god, you both made my dreams come true.

Most parenting advice wasn’t written for the world our kids are growing up in.
Their brains are developing inside a dopamine-saturated environment—and many of the strategies parents are told to use simply don’t account for that.
So when things fall apart, parents blame themselves.
In this clip, Michaeleen Doucleff explains why kids aren’t broken—and why parents need updated advice for a new digital age.
We need parenting guidance that matches the reality we’re living in.
