The Joy Revolution is NOT about pretending to always be joyful, or trying to make everything perfect. It's about using joy as a guide to be more YOU. Coaches agree that clear goals are important, and that believing in yourself is key. But HOW do you believe in yourself if you don't start out that way? Some leaders say to follow your heart, some say to not let your emotions control you. When your head and your heart are working together, emotions become your superpower! Are you ready to untangle the knot of 'shoulds' in your head so you can be who you were born to be? Learn what your emotions tell you about where your autopilot brain is pointing. Move beyond willpower and grit, and learn true resilience: how to refuel and reprogram your brain so you can achieve great things joyfully! Louisa takes you step by step through the process. And she makes learning pleasurable by using the life (so far) of Hugh Jackman as a stellar example of how it all works. Change the world and have a blast doing it! "You tackle huge life lessons with humour and compassion, simplifying some of the complexities of life. The book is both honest and timely." Sonia Garrett, author of the Maddie Series "At first glance, this may look like a book about Hugh Jackman, but it's not. It's actually a handbook for the mompreneur of the 21st century. Louisa speaks to millions of women who are losing themselves trying to meet other people's expectations. In this book, she shows you, step-by-step, how to live your life from joy, and by doing so, improve your business, your relationship, your parenting, and your health. As the leader of the Joy Revolution, Louisa proves that following your joy pays off -- even if that joy seems a little crazy at first, like obsessively studying the lives of Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness. This is a must read for any woman who wants it all and is ready to get it while putting on her own oxygen mask first." Dana Wilde, bestselling author of Train Your Brain and creator of The Celebrity Formula Louisa is a mom of three, a community activist, the leader of a team of 10,000+ direct sellers, a violinist, and a Hugh Jackman superfan. Before becoming an entrepreneur she worked in corporate training specializing in human performance and motivation. She's a terrible cook and usually has hundreds of unread emails, but she'd rather spend her time helping women believe in themselves, because she knows that changes the world!

A New York Times Bestseller For almost a century, Americans have been losing their hearts and losing their minds in an insatiable love affair with the American musical. It often begins in childhood in a darkened theater, grows into something more serious for high school actors, and reaches its passionate zenith when it comes time for love, marriage, and children, who will start the cycle all over again. Americans love musicals. Americans invented musicals. Americans perfected musicals. But what, exactly, is a musical? In The Secret Life of the American Musical, Jack Viertel takes them apart, puts them back together, sings their praises, marvels at their unflagging inventiveness, and occasionally despairs over their more embarrassing shortcomings. In the process, he invites us to fall in love all over again by showing us how musicals happen, what makes them work, how they captivate audiences, and how one landmark show leads to the next—by design or by accident, by emulation or by rebellion—from Oklahoma! to Hamilton and onward. Structured like a musical, The Secret Life of the American Musical begins with an overture and concludes with a curtain call, with stops in between for “I Want” songs, “conditional” love songs, production numbers, star turns, and finales. The ultimate insider, Viertel has spent three decades on Broadway, working on dozens of shows old and new as a conceiver, producer, dramaturg, and general creative force; he has his own unique way of looking at the process and at the people who collaborate to make musicals a reality. He shows us patterns in the architecture of classic shows and charts the inevitable evolution that has taken place in musical theater as America itself has evolved socially and politically. The Secret Life of the American Musical makes you feel as though you’ve been there in the rehearsal room, in the front row of the theater, and in the working offices of theater owners and producers as they pursue their own love affair with that rare and elusive beast—the Broadway hit.

From Michael Ondaatje: an electrifying novel, by turns thrilling and deeply moving—one of his most vividly rendered and compelling works of fiction to date. In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy boards a huge liner bound for England. At mealtimes, he is placed at the lowly "Cat's Table" with an eccentric and unforgettable group of grownups and two other boys. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys find themselves immersed in the worlds and stories of the adults around them. At night they spy on a shackled prisoner—his crime and fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever. Looking back from deep within adulthood, and gradually moving back and forth from the decks and holds of the ship to the years that follow the narrator unfolds a spellbinding and layered tale about the magical, often forbidden discoveries of childhood and the burdens of earned understanding, about a life-long journey that began unexpectedly with a sea voyage.
