CAT DADDY 

How One Very Special Cat Fixed One 

Very Broken man 

JaCKson galaXY 

The star of Animal Planet’s popular TV show My Cat 

from Hell shares the inspiring story of one petite grayand-white 

cat who turned his life around—as well as 

his singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving 

your own special feline friend (or friends!).

Praise for Jackson Galaxy and My Cat from Hell 

“Galaxy might not seem like a typical ‘cat person’—but who better 

than a New Yorker inked with images of cats and his own set 

of whiskers to mediate between a fussy feline and its guardian?” 

—New York Post 

“If you have a cat from hell, Jackson Galaxy may be the guy who 

can get little Mittens to start acting normal.” 

—aol news 

Jackson Galaxy, aka “Cat Daddy” and star of Animal Planet’s 

My Cat from Hell, isn’t what you might expect as far as 

“cat experts” are concerned (as The New York Times recently 

noted, he “looks like a Hells Angel”). Yet Galaxy’s ability to connect 

with even the most troubled feline—not to mention the 

stressed-out humans attempting to carve out some semblance 

of sanity in the wake of its wrath—is truly astonishing. 

In this book, Galaxy shares the unlikely story of how he came 

to be known as “Cat Daddy,” focusing on his thirteen-year-long 

relationship with an incredible cat named Benny. When Benny 

arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician 

with a drug problem and a part-time job at an animal shelter. 

When Benny’s previous owner handed him to Galaxy in a cardboard 

carrier, Benny had seen better days—his pelvis had just 

been shattered by the wheels of a car—but the woman declared 

that he’d been “un-bondable” from day one. Nothing could have 

been further from the truth. 

A poignant account of two broken beings who fixed each other, 

Cat Daddy is laced throughout with Galaxy’s amazing “Cat Whisperer” 

advice for understanding what cats need most from us 

humans in order to live happier and healthier lives.

JaCKsoN Galaxy, the star of Animal Planet’s 

My Cat from Hell, has been called everything from a cat trainer 

to a cat shrink. Drawing on his years of 

experience working in cat shelters and 

helping cat owners, Galaxy and his selfproclaimed 

“off-the-wall” methods offer 

people a deeper understanding of why 

their cats act the way they do. Jackson 

teaches classes to help deepen the 

human-feline bond and maintains

INSPIRED & 

UNSTOPPABLE 

Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s Work! 

Tama KieVes 

What if everything you thought you needed to do 

to succeed was actually standing 

in the way of your success? 

64

“You are meant to succeed in the work you love. Your 

desire will take you all the way.” 

—Tama Kieves 

tama Kieves, Harvard lawyer turned career coach, has 

spent the last decade crossing the United States and 

Canada, speaking to tens of thousands of people and 

sharing her inspiring story of moving from a career that was killing 

her to a life that has uplifted her, chronicled in her first book, 

This Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love. She has mentored 

thousands of people who, with her help, have followed their 

passion and are living their dream lives. 

And now she takes us to the next step in our journey. 

Within you is your purpose—your destiny—which will lead 

you to your greatest fulfillment and success. Kieves discovered 

along her journey that the way to success is an inspired path, not 

a linear one. She brings her ideas and actions together in her latest 

work, revealing that it is only in unleashing this purpose that 

you can become truly happy and satisfied. 

Through these new teachings, Kieves will help you move into 

your “brilliant power.” She shares the mental and emotional impact 

of this journey—the fears, doubts, and “choice points” that 

arise—and how to become an unstoppable warrior for your life’s 

work and desires. You will learn how to stay connected to your 

desires and shift your innermost thinking. When you do, you will 

naturally outpace anything any expert could ever tell you. You 

don’t need the steps when you have the moves . . . 

Beautifully written, Inspired & Unstoppable includes success 

stories, as well as practices that will foster positive momentum, 

and “Inspired Successisms”—delightful, quick bites of wisdom 

peppered throughout. It also offers guidelines on how to create 

your own “Inspired Success Circle”—a way of moving forward 

with the support of friends and loved ones. 

Practical, empowering, inspirational, galvanizing—Inspired 

& Unstoppable is the touchstone to (finally) living your wildest 

dreams and greatest desires.

Using recent breakthroughs in neuro science, 

this guide creates an easy-to-follow 

program to end writer’s block and 

other self-defeating behaviors. 

Do you want to write, but find yourself unable to get 

started? Edit your first page over and over, and feel unable 

to move on? Keep your schedule so full that you 

don’t have time to write? 

You’re not alone. Many writers are plagued by “writer’s resistance,” 

a group of behaviors that prevent us from being able 

to get words down on the page. Writer’s resistance can make 

us feel adrift, hopeless, discouraged, and ready to give up. 

The good news is that you can beat writer’s resistance. You 

just need to learn what’s going on inside your brain—and harness 

that knowledge to develop a productive writing habit. 

A writing and creativity teacher for more than twenty years, 

Rosanne Bane has given thousands of writers the tools to bust 

through self-defeating writing behaviors. In Around the Writer’s 

Block, Bane helps us understand where writer’s resistance 

comes from: the “fight-or-flight” responses hardwired into our 

brains, which can make us desperate to flee the source of our 

anxiety (writing) by any means possible. Using the most recent 

breakthroughs in neuroscience and a three-part plan that helps 

readers develop new regular writing habits, Bane coaches us 

on how to rewire our brain’s responses to the anxiety produced 

by writing—turning writing from a source of stress and anxiety 

into a source of joy and personal growth. 

Writer’s resistance doesn’t have to be permanent. Let the 

power of habit rewire your brain, and become the writer you’ve 

always wanted to be.

THE NOT-SO-NUDE 

RIDE OF LADY 

GODIVA 

& Other morsels of misinformation from the 

History Books 

DaViD haVilanD 

The bestselling coauthor of Why Dogs 

Eat Poop & Other Useless or Gross 

Information About the Animal Kingdom 

exposes history’s greatest tall tales, 

half-truths, and legends. 

It is said that history is written by the winners. However, 

“winners” don’t always make the best historians. Enter 

David Haviland—historian, journalist, and writer—to set 

the record straight. In his quirky, inimitable style, Haviland 

separates fact from fiction regarding some of history’s most 

well-known people and events, such as: 

u Lady Godiva—By far, history’s most famous nudist 

equestrian. But how nude was she, really? And how did 

this same legend give rise to the term “Peeping Tom”? 

u The Boston Tea Party—What was the cause of this 

famous “party” that wasn’t really a party? (Hint: If you 

guessed a rise in taxes, you’re dead wrong!) 

u World War I—Did a directionally challenged chauffeur 

spark the war to end all wars? 

u The World’s Best Golf Score—This record-breaking, 

18-hole round of golf was completed by North Korea’s 

Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-il, in an unheard of thirty-four 

strokes! And it was his first time ever playing the game! 

(Equally amazing is the fact that this, among other bits of 

extreme propaganda, are perpetuated in his country.) 

In this intriguing new book, Haviland illuminates the 

murkiest corners from every era of history—from the Trojan 

Horse (not very “Trojan” at all, as it was built by and filled 

with Greeks!) to Queen Victoria (who perhaps wasn’t such a 

prude, considering her nude modeling career). The result is a 

wholly fascinating, highly educational compendium of historic 

strangeness that will enlighten and entertain readers both 

young and old. 

DavID havIlaND is a journalist, writer, and historian 

who has long had a love of quirky trivia and anecdotes. Coauthor

“If you thought the likes of The Wolfman, The Twilight 

Saga: Eclipse, and Underworld had no basis in fact, it’s

There’s Something in the Woods 

the United States has been invaded—if many dozens of 

eyewitnesses are to be believed—by upright, canine 

creatures that look like traditional werewolves and act 

as if they own our woods, fields, and highways. Sightings from 

coast-to-coast dating back to the 1930s compel us to ask exactly 

what these beasts are, and what they want. 

Researcher, author, and newspaper reporter Linda S. Godfrey 

has been tracking the manwolf since the early 1990s. In 

Real Wolfmen she presents the only large-scale cataloguing and 

investigation of reports of modern sightings of anomalous, upright 

canids. Godfrey explores the most compelling cases from 

the modern history of such sightings, along with the latest 

reports, and undertakes a thorough exploration of the nature 

and possible origins of the creature.

IT’S OKAY NOT 

TO SHARE 

and Other Renegade Rules for Raising 

Competent and Compassionate Kids 

heaTher shumaKer 

Remember The Rules for dating and relationships? 

Well, here are “the rules” for parents. Hint: They aren’t 

what you think they are! 

70

On the one hand, you want your child to learn how to 

negotiate the world on his or her own terms—on the 

other hand, it’s pretty embarrassing when your kid 

doesn’t want to be nice and hand over his toys quite 

yet. . . . 

AUGUST 

Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it’s easy 

to lose track of your parenting philosophy—let alone 

where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects 

at the playground. What if my kid likes to roughhouse— 

isn’t this OK as long as no one gets hurt? And what if my kid just 

doesn’t feel like sharing? In this inspiring and enlightening book, 

mother Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down 

“the rules” to raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids. 

Drawing on her experiences as the mother of two small children, 

as well as on her extensive (and, yes, at times obsessive!) reading 

into what the “experts”—child psychologists, pediatricians, 

etc.—have to say, in this book Shumaker gets down to the heart 

of the matter on some of the most controversial aspects of parenting 

young children. The renegade rules in this book include: 

u It’s OK if it’s not hurting people or property. 

u Kids need conflict. 

u All feelings are OK. All behavior isn’t. 

u Bombs and bad guys allowed. 

u Boys can wear tutus. 

u Go ahead—paint off the paper! 

u Sex Ed starts in preschool. 

u Inconsistent parenting works! 

Sometimes raising your kid the way you want to isn’t easy. 

The rules in this book will help parents give their children the 

freedom and space they need to grow into happy, healthy, and 

contented adults—despite what the other moms at the playground 

may think!

SWEDENBORG 

An Introduction to His Life and Ideas 

garY laChman 

A clear and concise overview of the life 

and work of the immensely influential but 

little understood eighteenth-century 

mystic-scientist Emanuel Swedenborg. 

“Lachman identifies all the roles Swedenborg inhabited 

(spiritual thinker, psychic, scientist, inventor, 

statesman, traveler, and possibly even spy) and does 

an exceptionally good job of suggesting why this littleknown 

polymath deserves more substantial critical 

attention.” —The Independent on Sunday (UK) 

It is difficult to imagine modern Western alternative spirituality 

without the influence of Swedish scientist and mystic 

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772). Every movement in alternative 

spirituality—from mental healing and Spiritualism 

to New Age mysticism and the twelve-step recovery movement—owes 

an immeasurable debt to the ideas he exploded 

upon the Western world. 

Yet Swedenborg’s work can be challenging for modern readers. 

His influence, everywhere at once, is difficult to get a 

handle on. Now, Gary Lachman provides an accessible, lively, 

and masterful introduction to the life and ideas of this spiritual 

giant. Lachman takes us to Swedenborg’s roots as a brilliant 

rationalist and scientist who, well into midlife, began to 

experience visions of other realms. From this point, Swedenborg 

produced an extraordinary body of writings based on his 

out-of-body experiences, in which he related encounters with 

angels, other-planetary beings, and “the world of spirits.” 

As Lachman explores, Swedenborg’s work opened up a radically 

liberal and refreshing idea of religion. He saw humanity, 

and all of nature, as phenomena emerging from the “spiritual 

world,” and man as a vessel for divine influences. This vision 

inspired Western seekers to see man as a product of spiritual 

phenomena, and thus a being intimately connected with the 

cosmos. From this perspective grew bold new ideas about 

channeling, spiritual healing, mystical experience, mediumship—a 

litany of concepts that prefigured the revolutions in 

alternative and therapeutic spirituality.

NOW IN PAPERBACK 

Praise for TRANSCENDENCE 

“Dr. Norman Rosenthal’s book will propel TM into the mainstream 

where it belongs.” 

—russell simmons 

“The best-ever book on Transcendental Meditation.” —David lynch 

“Whether your troubles are deep or you simply know life could be 

better and healthier, read this book.” —Candy Crowley, Cnn anchor 

Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., a longtime researcher at the 

National Institute of Mental Health and the celebrated 

psychiatrist and psychiatric researcher who pioneered 

the study and treatment of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), 

brings us this generation’s most important work on Transcendental 

Meditation—and one of today’s most significant books 

on achieving greater physical and mental health and wellness. 

Transcendence demystifies the practice and benefits of Transcendental 

Meditation for a general audience who may have 

heard about the method but do not necessarily know what it is, 

how it is practiced, or what they stand to gain from it, physically 

and emotionally. Dr. Rosenthal clearly and practically explains 

the basic ideas behind Transcendental Meditation: It is a nonreligious 

practice that involves sitting comfortably for twenty 

minutes twice a day, while using a silent mantra, or nonverbal 

sound, to attain a profound state of aware relaxation. 

Dr. Rosenthal draws upon experience from the lives of his 

patients and a wealth of clinical research amassed on TM over 

the past generation (340 peer-reviewed published articles) to 

provide the fullest and most accessible book ever on the broad 

range of benefits of this remarkably simple practice, from relief 

of anxiety, stress, and depression to new hope for those suffering 

from addiction, attention-deficit disorder, or post-traumatic 

stress disorder. 

Alongside exclusive celebrity interviews—where stars such 

as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Martin Scorsese, Russell 

Brand, Laura Dern, Moby, and David Lynch openly discuss 

their meditation—Transcendence features stories from everyday 

people, from veterans to students coping with anxiety disorders, 

discussing how TM has helped them achieve more fulfilling lives.

Contemporary research has shown that optimistic 

people experience longer and healthier lives, better 

relationships, and higher incomes. Generations before 

such findings, however, inspirational writer Christian D. Larson 

showed an amazing grasp of the life-changing power of gratitude 

and optimism. Today, Larson is known worldwide for his 

powerful meditation “The Optimist Creed” and for his other 

classics of spiritual living—but no single volume has collected 

his greatest writings. Here, at last, is a long-overdue anthology 

that makes his foundational writings available to the countless 

readers who already know his name and work. 

In his now famous maxim, Larson encouraged early twentieth-century 

readers to embrace an “attitude of gratitude.” 

Yet Larson’s vision went far beyond mushy or feel-good nostrums. 

Like no one else of his day, the groundbreaking writer 

understood the metaphysical and psychological dimensions of 

grateful living. Affirmative thought, Larson reasoned, sets in 

motion unseen forces, both spiritual and psychical, and aids in 

manifesting our desires. 

In our time, Larson’s message is as fresh and radical as 

ever. The Optimist Creed features complete editions of his most 

deeply affecting works, each redesigned and reset. It contains: 

“The Pathway of Roses,” “Your Forces and How to Use Them” 

(the 1912 work that features his “Optimist Creed”), “Mastery of 

Self,” “The Ideal Made Real,” and “Just Be Glad.”

ChrIstIaN D. larsoN (1874–1962) was born in Iowa to Norwegian immigrants. 

He was headed for a career in the Lutheran ministry but later embraced a more universal and 

independent spirituality. In 1901, at age twenty-seven, Larson launched one of the first journals 

devoted to positive thinking. He moved to California and grew into a popular New Thought and 

inspirational writer and speaker, producing more than forty books. Larson’s most enduring work 

is the meditation called “The Optimist Creed,” which he originally published in 1912 as “Promise 

Yourself.” In 1922, it was officially adopted as the manifesto of Optimist International and today 

is quoted around the world.

TRAVELS WITH 

MYSELF AND 

ANOTHER 

A memoir 

marTha gellhorn 

The life that inspired the HBO movie 

Hemingway & Gellhorn, premiering 

in spring 2012. 

“Gellhorn is incapable of writing a dull sentence.” 

—The Times (London) 

“Gellhorn has a novelist’s eye, a flair for black comedy, 

and a short fuse. There is not a boring word in her 

humane and often funny book.” 

—The New York Times 

“Martha Gellhorn—a woman before her time—left 

behind a gem of a travelogue, sewn with the requisite 

nightmares and epiphanies, but imparted with a wink, 

as if to a friend.” —Deborah Copaken Kogan, 

author of Shutterbabe 

Martha Gellhorn was one of her generation’s greatest 

journalists, a prizewinning war correspondent, 

a world-class traveler, and the wife of Ernest 

Hemingway for five tempestuous years. Her memoir, Travels 

with Myself and Another (originally published in 1978), shines 

light on Gellhorn’s time covering the Sino-Japanese War 

and other international conflicts, her extensive travel in 

Asia, the USSR, Africa, and beyond, and her rocky marriage 

to Hemingway.
