The Daily Tao: 365 Meditations on the Tao Te Ching by William Martin 

US pub date - 12/3/24

I’ve been meditating for 18+ months at this point and it’s changed my life for the better ❤️ I was, therefore, so thankful to receive early access to The Daily Tao and read it with gratitude. 

This book of daily meditations is one I plan to buy on audiobook upon publication so I can listen to one each day while preparing for meditation. The daily meditation thoughts  provide the reader with terrific and inspiring messages. 

I found so much within these pages and really appreciated my reading of this. 

A full recommendation from me. 

Thank you to Hachette Go and NetGalley for the DRC

QOTD: Is there an actor/actress that will automatically make you watch all their films or shows? For me Samuel Jackson is a favorite. His body of work is so extensive and I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He has played some of my favorite roles and I will watch anything that he is in. He always delivers. I was excited to receive this biography based on his life and acting career. Thanks to @hachettebooks @hachettego for the gifted copy. I've already been skimming through some of the stories and I am intrigued. Jackson's unique personality, wisdom and no nonsense attitude are unmatched. I can't wait to learn more about who he is behind the scenes. 💥SYNOPSIS💥 Samuel L. Jackson’s embodiment of cool isn’t just inspirational—it’s important. Bad Motherfucker lays out how his attitude intersects with his identity as a Black man, why being cool matters in the modern world, and how Jackson can guide us through the current cultural moment in which everyone is losing their cool. Edwards details Jackson’s fascinating personal history, from stuttering bookworm to gunrunning revolutionary to freebasing addict to A-list movie star. Drawing on original reporting and interviews, the book explores not only the major events of Jackson’s life but also his obsessions: golf, kung fu movies, profanity. Bad Motherfucker features a delectable filmography of Jackson’s movies—140 and counting!—and also includes new movie posters for many of Jackson’s greatest roles, reimagined by dozens of gifted artists and designers. The book provides a must-read road map through the vast territory of his on-screen career and more: a vivid portrait of Samuel L. Jackson’s essential self, as well as practical instructions, by example, for how to live and work and be. #BadMotherf*cker #SamuelJackson #HachetteGo #bookstagram #books #bookish #bookstagrammer #TBR #reading #bookrecommendation #biography #bookworm #nonfiction #booksbooksbooks #booksandart #booksandmurals #bookphotos #bibliophile #booklover #Blackactors #Hollywood #explore #literature #readersofinstagram #bookfeature #actors #behindthescenes #read #HBSocialClub #Brooklyn (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYFXhtdrsqo/?utm_medium=tumblr

On Wednesdays we do yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️

.

What is something that you have made part of your routine in the last year? Yoga was part of our life before the pandemic, but thanks to our amazing friend and yoga teacher @madelina214 we have been able to keep up practicing even when we are home. Unfortunately I have to miss most of today’s class because I’m still taking care of my husband after his surgery yesterday, so I will be using poses from Yoga Bones by Laura Staton before I go to sleep. Thank you to @hachettego for this gifted copy which has been an amazing resource.

.

As someone with MS, Syringomyelia, and Chiari Malformation pain is an everyday part of my life, especially in my head, neck, and back. When my symptoms are flaring I have significant mobility issues and need to be able to adapt stretches and poses to my ability. This book allows me to find stretches and poses that will directly address the areas of concern, and gives detailed instructions along with clear pictures and illustrations! This is a great way to supplement your regular yoga practice and help manage your pain. I strongly believe that yoga should be practiced with a trained professional, but resources like this are great ways to extend that practice throughout the week, and to find relief through movement outside of class.

.

Yoga Bones is available now🧘🏻‍♀️

M E T H O D MAN... M E T H O D MAN 🎵🎧🎶....spending the next 5-6 weeks in a boot because my ankle isn't healing properly. Lucky for me I have good books and music to keep me company! Nothing boosts my mood like a great hip hop playlist. QOTD: What song gives you a mood boost? Thanks to @hachettebooks for the gifted copy of From the Streets of Shaolin: The Wu-Tang Saga. This one released 7/6 so be sure to pick your copy. Wu-Tang Clan is one of my favorite hip groups of all time. You will often find me reciting lyrics at the top of my lungs when I'm in the zone. Reading about hip hop culture and history is one of my biggest passions so I am so excited to peruse these pages. It has so many great photos and interviews never seen before. 🎵 🎤SYNOPSIS🎤🎵 This definitive biography of rap supergroup, Wu-Tang Clan, features decades of unpublished interviews and unparalleled access to members of the group and their associates. This is the definitive biography of rap supergroup and cultural icons, Wu-Tang Clan (WTC). Heralded as one of the most influential groups in modern music—hip hop or otherwise—WTC created a rap dynasty on the strength of seven gold and platinum albums that launched the careers of such famous rappers as RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and more. During the ‘90s, they ushered in a hip-hop renaissance, rescuing rap from the corporate suites and bringing it back to the gritty streets where it started. In the process they changed the way business was conducted in an industry known for exploiting artists. Creatively, Wu-Tang pushed the boundaries of the artform dedicating themselves to lyrical mastery and sonic innovation, and one would be hard pressed to find a group who's had a bigger impact on the evolution of hip hop. #FromtheStreetsofShaolin #gifted #SHFernando #HBSocialClub #HachetteGo #HipHopBooks #HipHopHistory #BookPhotos #WutangClan #BooksandMurals #BooksandArt #Bookstagram #MusicLover #BookFeature #rap #Nonfiction #BlackIcons #reading #NewRelease #Hardcovers #TBR #HipHop #Brooklyn #bookdragon #bookish #bibliophile #biography #booklover #Hachettebooks (at The Bushwick Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFdqO7LpFB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bruised male egos, mediocrity and white supremacy really showed out today. This is America, where you can storm the Capitol to disenfranchise millions of voters and decent staffers flee with the ballot boxes before you get there. Another failure. You couldn't even secure the bag but you live to terrorize another day. I' m exhausted. #democracynow #democracywins #blacklivesmatter #americanbullies #thepeoplehavespoken #bookstgram #readingispolitical #saynotofascism #booksarelife #latenightthoughts #bookphotos #dinosaurs #pajamas #culturewarlords #talialevin #nerd #redbooks #hachettego #bibliophile #HBSocialClub #books #bookaddict #healthenation #nonfiction #vote #bookdragon #booksinbed #libro (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJuhpJsgngh/?igshid=169s91j7enp6l

Happy Pub Day! Thank you @hachettego and @hachettebooks for the gifted copy. Book Feature: The Puzzle Solver Authors: Tracie White with Ronald W. Davis, PhD “A renowned geneticist races against time to diagnose a malady that landed at his door… A complex, well-related story of medical detective work.” --KIRKUS 🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩 I'm anxious to read this one because recently I have had some health issues that required seeing different specialists and I'm still dealing with some issues. Health literacy and health advocacy are so important especially if you are a woman or BIPOC. Ask as many questions as you need to until you understand all the information. Bring someone with you if you need to. Don't be afraid to get a second or even third opinion. Listen to your body since you are the expert. Do your own research using reputable sources, not Google please. Consult as many experts as you need to until you feel secure with the results. No one can advocate for your wellbeing the way you can. Medicine isn't a perfect science and some things take time to get them right. Be gentle with yourself through the process and make sure you have a great support network. #HBSocialClub #HachetteGo #HachetteBooks #medicalmemoir #nonfiction #books #bookstagram #ThePuzzleSolver #chronicillness #medicalprofession #genetics #bookfeature #bibliophile #booklover #bookworm #Ireadeverything #libros #booksarelife #bookssavelives #bookish #bookdragon #hardcovers #PublicationDay #medicalmysteries #puzzles #bookphotography #read #chronicfatiguesyndrome #reading (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJr7ohughXc/?igshid=li6j6el5cxyn

I always look forward to new reading challenges. It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies by Jessica Wilson, MS, RD is out 2/7/23 and it's perfect for: #20booksbyblackwomen #20booksbyblackfolx #19nonfiction Body politics and body liberation are subjects I aim to read more about so I'm excited to delve into this one. I also want to read more nonfiction this year. Thanks to @hachettego and @bibliolifestyle for the gifted copy. QOTD: What reading challenges are you participating in? 📚 SYNOPSIS 📚 In It’s Always Been Ours, eating disorder specialist and storyteller Jessica Wilson challenges us to rethink the politics of body liberation by centering the bodies of Black women in our cultural discussions of self-image, food, health, and wellness. Interrogating a status quo that perpetuates white supremacist ideas about who Black women are, how they live in their bodies, and what Black health means, she creates a context for understanding how whiteness and capitalism have shaped the ways we view and treat our bodies, and how even well-intentioned solutions to this problem continue to center thin white women. With an incisive blend of historical documents, the work of popular authors, and the narratives of clients, friends, and celebrities, Wilson examines the ways that ideas about respectability and restriction have harmed Black women. With wit and levity, she challenges what it means to have the “right” body and helps all women understand that a radical reimagining of body narratives is a prerequisite for vibrant wellbeing. It’s Always Been Ours is a love letter that encourages Black women to find joy in their bodies and their identities.  #ItsAlwaysBeenOurs #JessicaWilson #bookstagram #bookcommunity #tbr #readingchallenge #reading #books #BlackAuthors #BlackBookstagram #bookphotos #igreads #bookworm #bookrecommendations #bookish #HBSocialClub #Hachette #nonfiction #bibliolifestyle #bodyliberation #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJH9L6AqjC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
