Wallace gives readers the insights we need to understand each other, and the actions we can take to enhance each other’s lives.”— Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet “ Mattering is an essential guide for how to restore meaning, comfort, and joy to our lives.” — Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, 19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States From award-winning journalist and bestselling author Jennifer Wallace comes Mattering —a landmark book that introduces a transformative new framework to confront the loneliness, burnout, and lack of purpose so many of us face today. In this groundbreaking work, Wallace makes an urgent case: mattering—the feeling that we are valued and have an opportunity to add value—is a core human need, as essential to our well-being as food and water. And yet, in today’s world, that fundamental need is going unmet, with perilous consequences. As mental and social health crises surge, we often blame social media, the pace of modern life, and polarizing politics. But beneath these issues lies a deeper crisis, what Wallace calls “an erosion of mattering.” With her signature warmth and insight, Wallace weaves together research and deeply moving stories of mattering lost and regained. From burned-out employees to overwhelmed caregivers to people grappling with grief or struggling through a destabilizing transition, Mattering explores how our lives are transformed when we are reminded, in small and intentional ways, that we are valued and that we have value to offer. Wallace provides the essential elements to building what she calls our “mattering core”: recognizing your impact, being relied on (but not too much), feeling prioritized, and being truly known and invested in. Strengthening this core helps us reconnect to our sense of purpose, deepen our relationships, and navigate life’s uncertainties and challenges with greater resilience. For readers of Brené Brown, David Brooks, and Adam Grant, Mattering is a rare, culture-shifting book that offers both a diagnosis and a remedy. With a clear road map and actionable takeaways, Wallace reveals how to unlock this powerful force within ourselves and how to build cultures of mattering in our homes, workplaces, and communities.  Mattering is both a call to action and a blueprint for living a meaningful life and creating a world we so urgently need.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959356</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959356</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Breheny Wallace, Jennifer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959356049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>The Secret to A Life of Deep Connection and Purpose</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217283330/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Hold A Cockroach]]></title><description><![CDATA[How to Hold a Cockroach is about discovering and freeing ourselves from the beliefs that cause us to suffer.

But then she gets a call--there is a man on the porch of her childhood home, and he's asking for her. This man isn't the Ba Qianze remembers: he is much older, more fragile, and worst of all, haunted by a half-forgotten prophecy.While Qianze wrestles with what she owes this near-stranger, Ba begins telling stories of his past. From his bloody days as a Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution to his mother's youth under Japanese occupation, he circles around the prophecy he came to deliver.

We want clarity, peace, and a sense of who we truly are, without feeling lost in the chaos.In The Anatomy of Awakening, Dr. Sue Morter, best-selling author of The Energy Codes, changes the narrative of how we understand human potential, perceive ourselves and others, and manifest the visions for our lives by learning the deeper language of the authentic self.

Two years ago, Detective Mitch Haskell lost his wife to a vicious act of retribution, and has since attributed her murder to two men: Roland Malone and the unidentified mastermind of the crime known only as Oz. Malone, a ruthless executioner and drug dealer who fronts as a restaurant owner, neutralizes so cleanly that he doesn't leave a trace. And he performs his handiwork at the biddings of Oz, the faceless kingpin of a drug trafficking operation whose name alone evokes terror. Obsessively vowing to avenge his late wife's murder, Mitch has been on a downward spiral, jeopardizing his closest relationships and drinking excessively to numb his pain. After going one step too far, Detective John Bowie, his former best friend and now his boss, has forced Mitch to get therapy to sort himself out. Dr. Dylan Reede is immediately empathetic to the pain she senses beneath Mitch's cavalier attitude and wisecracking. She's determined to make the most of his mandated sessions. But from the moment Mitch breezes into her office, Dylan finds it a struggle to maintain the professional and personal boundaries that keep her own tragic past at a safe distance. As Mitch begins to close in on Oz and Malone's operation, they're prepared to stop him by any means necessary. And when it's revealed that Dylan might hold the key to bringing them to justice, Mitch and Dylan's irresistible attraction to each other may not only compromise both of them professionally, but place them in Oz's bullseye.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959217</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959217</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brown, Sandra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959217049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668654064/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay]]></title><description><![CDATA[Warm, insightful, and witty, the first book of advice from New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson--aka the BloggessJenny Lawson is full of contradictions.

Starside is the realm of magic and immortals--the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic.Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life.

This is the precise moment when time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward, always on the way--although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the sweet promise of the West and the forgetful assurance of wine. When life takes him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls for a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of the desert, in Arizona.Sufien's life spans friendships lost and maintained, a stint selling leathers at a tanner's stall, the ineffable company of cats, and the freedom of the open road, the glowing pride of fatherhood, Sufi myths, prophetic dreams, and visions of the afterlife--and always, always, no matter how far he chases joy, the sweet, treacherous song of a balcony urging him to fly, to fall, to fall. The lyrical pages of Paradiso 17 weave in and out of time and space, beginning at the end and ending at the beginning. They are haunting, haunted with grief, struck through, as Dante once wrote, with "the arrow that the bow of exile / shoots first," and yet they throb with light--not just the light that Sufien sees as he approaches his own end, but the brilliant light of a life lived.Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins.

Working as a cassette DJ and ticket girl, she would see (and sometimes meet) the luminaries who'd pass through town-Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pavement, Sonic Youth. Thanks to a thrown beer bottle and a long-shot fan letter to a P.O. BOX, her band Tinker scored a life-changing opening slot for The Smashing Pumpkins and, sensing her natural talent on bass, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Melissa joined Hole for the band's 1994 Live Through This world tour, just one of the many uncanny threads that weave destiny throughout this riveting memoir. Whisked from her local scene and thrust into the eye of a hard-living hurricane of grief on a global stage, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the center of it all. It was a tour of passionate intensity, as a chaotic yet stunningly powerful band constantly threatened to spin out of control. Melissa brings the reader with raging intimacy right into the action, offering a heroic portrait and a long overdue, full-throated defense of the unforgettable, iconic intensity and brilliance of Courtney Love, as she howled into the darkness as if to keep grief at bay. That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock. We're also treated to unforgettable encounters and portraits of other icons and luminaries of the era, like Michael Stipe, Marilyn Manson, Dave Grohl, Rufus Wainwright, Drew Barrymore and more. An accomplished photographer, Melissa catalogued this era, and more than 50 of her stunning, never-before-seen photos complement the narrative. And she recounts the abrupt, post-9/11 end of the grunge era when, seemingly overnight, a new, far less communal and far more aggro-bro mood overtook the country, a darkening that has yet to abate. Along the way, Melissa accumulates experience and wisdom, becoming a seasoned touring musician and developing a clarity that allowed her to walk away from it all and choose a different life for herself, even as her talents (and spirit) were still very much in demand. Part rock memoir, part travel diary, part psychedelic scrapbook, Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a behind-the-scenes rock 'n' roll memoir with a soulful intimacy and mystic undertone that sets it apart from memoirs by her peers. It is a vivid dispatch from the last analog decade, artistically capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959221</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959221</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Auf der Maur, Melissa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959221049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A &apos;90s Rock Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668654118/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reparenting the Inner Child]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potential As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character--shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt--learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is an audiobook that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959210</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959210</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[LePera, Nicole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959210049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250433077/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[London Falling]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the bestselling, prize-winning author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain, a spellbinding account of a family devastated by the sudden death of their nineteen-year-old son, only to discover that he had created a secret life which drew him into the dangerous criminal underworld that lies beneath London's glittering surfaceIn the early morning of November 29th, 2019, surveillance cameras at the headquarters of MI6, Britain's spy agency, captured video of a young man pacing back and forth on a high balcony of Riverwalk, a luxury tower on the bank of the river Thames. At 2:24 a.m., he jumped into the river.In a quiet London neighborhood several miles away, Rachelle Brettler was worried about her son. Zac had told her that he had gone to stay with a friend, but then he did not come home. Days later, a police car pulled up and two officers relayed the dreadful news: her son was dead.In their unbearable grief, Rachelle and her husband, Matthew, struggled to understand what had happened to Zac. He had his troubles, but in no way seemed suicidal. As they would soon discover, however, there was a lot they did not know about their son. Only after his death did they learn that he had adopted a fictitious alter-ego: Zac Ismailov, son of a Russian oligarch and heir to a great fortune. Under this guise, Zac had become entangled with a slippery London businessman named Akbar Shamji, and a murderous gangster known as "Indian Dave." As the Brettlers set about investigating their son's death, they were pulled into a different and more dangerous London than the one they'd always known, and came to believe that something much more nefarious than a suicide had claimed Zac's life. But to their immense frustration, Scotland Yard seemed unable--or unwilling--to bring the perpetrators to justice. In a bravura feat of reporting and writing, Patrick Radden Keefe chronicles the Brettlers' quest, peeling back layers of mystery and exposing the seedy truths behind the glamorous London of posh mansions and private nightclubs, a city in which everything is for sale, and aspirational fantasies are underwritten by dirty money and corruption. London Falling is a mesmerizing investigation of an inexplicable death and a powerful narrative driven by suspense and staggering revelations. But it is also an intimate and deeply poignant inquiry into the nature of parental love and the challenges of being a parent today, a portrait of a family trying to solve the riddle not just of how their son died, but of who he really was in life.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959197</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959197</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keefe, Patrick Radden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959197049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Mysterious Death in A Gilded City and A Family&apos;s Search for Truth</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217174591/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Witch]]></title><description><![CDATA[SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE In a small, sleepy town, a mediocre witch, in a mediocre marriage, tries to pass on her gifts to her twin daughters, who, it becomes immediately apparent, have skills far beyond her own."The Witch is classic NDiaye. Taut, spellbinding and strange, it unfolds with the disturbed logic of a fever dream." --The New York Times "The Witch is Marie NDiaye at her most dazzling. In this simple, startlingly powerful novel, NDiaye lays out her central themes: familial secrets, power, shame, and liberation. NDiaye is one of the greats--her novels are mesmerizing, wholly singular, completely unforgettable." --Katie Kitamura, author of AuditionLucie comes from a long line of witches, with powers passed down from mother to daughter. Many of them have hidden or repressed their gifts to appease disgusted or fearful men. But against the wishes of her controlling husband, Lucie initiates her twins into their family's peculiar womanhood when they reach the age of twelve. In a few short months, Maud and Lise are crying rich crimson tears, their powers quickly becoming more potent than their mother's, opening them to liberation and euphoria beyond what Lucie and her foremothers ever considered.Equal parts dreamlike and disquieting, The Witch tells a tale as old as time, with a dark twist: Without looking back, children fly the nest, laying bare the tenuous threads of family that have long threatened to snap. With simmering tension and increasing panic, NDiaye's latest novel in English captures the terror and precarity of motherhood and marriage, and the uncertainty of slowly realizing that your progeny are more dangerous--to the world and to your heart--and freer than you ever could have dreamed.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959198</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959198</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[NDiaye, Marie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959198049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217174676/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ending Writes Itself]]></title><description><![CDATA[A PROPULSIVE DEBUT MYSTERY FROM EVELYN CLARKE, THE BRILLIANT AND DIABOLICAL CREATION OF CAT CLARKE AND V.E.

Augustus was the larger of the two; vivid, volatile and promiscuous, he was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation.As a woman, Gwen's place in the art world was much smaller, and her private way of working and reserved nature meant it was only long after her death that her tremendous gifts were fully acknowledged. But her temperament was as turbulent as her brother's. She formed passionate attachments to men and woman, including a long affair with the sculptor Rodin.And there were other ways in which the two Johns were remarkably alike, as Mackrell vividly reveals. The result is a powerful portrait of two prodigiously talented artists and visionaries, whose experiments with form and colour created some of the most memorable work of the early twentieth century.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959211</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959211</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mackrell, Judith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959211049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>The Lives and Loves of Gwen and Augustus John</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781529095876/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation]]></title><description><![CDATA["A love story for those who love Severance (both Ling Ma's book and the unaffiliated Apple TV+ series). . . ambitious, challenging, and brilliant." --Elle "Castillo's flinty satire of the tech industry [transforms] into a sultry romance novel." --The AtlanticA bold and inventive novel about real romance in the virtual workplace--⁰́⁾bringing Castillo's trademark wit and sharp cultural criticism to an irresistible story about the possible future of love.Girlie Delmundo is the greatest content moderator in the world, and despite the setbacks of financial crises, climate catastrophe, and a global pandemic, she's going places: she's getting a promotion.

A brilliant, hilarious, and unique fantasy adventure about a boy who has to save mythical creatures from their Goblin tormentors--and who learns how to stand up to bullies of the human variety.It all starts on Halloween night, when young Elliot Penster chases off some bullies who are attacking a girl in a brownie costume. A very realistic brownie costume. Okay, not a costume at all. Little does Elliot know by his eleventh birthday he will be named the King of the Brownies, will be responsible for provoking a war with the goblins, and--perhaps most terrifying of all--will become personally acquainted with the infamous Chocolate Cake of Horror. But as it turns out, Elliot is too busy to do much ruling: it's taking all his energy to dodge the many nasty goblin attempts to do away with him, not to mention an all-too-human bully at school. But when the goblins finally go too far and blow up his house, Elliot realizes that it's time to stop dodging and stand up and fight back. After all, what else can a king do?]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959162</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959162</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nielsen, Jennifer A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959162049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781464284090/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Potion, A Powder, A Little Bit of Magic, Or, Like Lightning in An Umbrella Storm]]></title><description><![CDATA[A plucky young goatkeeper sets out on a misadventurous rescue mission in this uproarious debut novel with premium hardcover features, perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and Lemony Snicket. In a kingdom ruled by a capricious king, the castle rests on the backs of twenty-four goats, and the welfare of those goats rests on the back of a girl called Bernadette. So when one goat escapes, it's up to her--with the help of a very forgetful wizard and a Boat That Does Not Grant Wishes--to bring it back safely. Her task may be straightforward, but this book is anything but. Like a swirling herd of restless goats, the chapters are all out of order. The ending may prove to have been the beginning all along. All the while, the author of Bernadette's saga--a character himself--hurries to write her a resolution, with very mixed results. And if you're feeling lost, don't worry; the story has twenty-four morals, of varying advisability, to edify you along the way. Award-winning author Philip Stead makes a confident debut as a novelist in this laugh-out-loud, one-of-a-kind tale, chock-full of running gags, broken fourth walls, and underdog triumph.]]></description><link>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959131</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129959131</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stead, Philip Christian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://squamish.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129959131049</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798899737749/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
