Barack and Michelle do it. Brad and Angelina do it. John and Yoko did it. How?Working together. For some, blending romance and business is about as appealing as watching paint dry. Many believe, as the old saying goes, that “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” and that working with their partner will rob their romance of, well, romance. Despite this fear, some couples have found that constant togetherness has made their hearts grow closer. They say the truth is all couples work together – even if it’s not at an office or business. Jamillah and David Lamb, co-authors of “Perfect Combination: Seven Key Ingredients to Happily Living & Loving Together,” (www.acoupleoflambs.com), have worked side by side for nearly a decade in the stressful world of New York theater. They say it’s actually helped them beat two distressing odds – the United States has a 46 percent divorce rate and about an 80 percent failure rate for small business startups in their first year. Yet this dynamic couple has beaten the odds in both love and business.
Author Barry Dennis will be here to talk about his book 10 Spring Cleaning Tips that Will Make You Happier. Below is Adapted from “The Chotchky Challenge” Do you have too much “Chotchky” in your life? Most of us do! Chotchky is anything that intrudes, clutters, or distracts us from our soul’s highest purpose. An incredible amount of what we actually buy, accept, and allow into our lives is Chotchky. Chotchky includes material things, unhealthy substances we consume, meaningless information and distractions, and even unsupportive people. Being surrounded by useless stuff robs us of our energy. The more Chotchky there is in our life, the more disorder, stress, ambiguity, tension, and immobilization we will experience. The good news? Clearing away the Chotchky that’s cluttering up your life will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, calmer, healthier, and more connected. He will give us 10 spring cleaning tips to re-energize your life and make you happier.
John Hocevar will be here to discuss fishing and what is being done to protect our oceans. Boston's and Massachusetts' supermarket chains are in a position and some have already taken steps to help end devastating commercial fishing practices that have reduced the population of the oceans top fish like sharks, tuna, and swordfish by as much as 90%. This report shows, for the first time since the first CATO report in 2008, big movement from supermarket chains to protect our oceans and send a message to commercial fishing operations to fish more responsibly by ending bottom trawling and bycatch, the tons of fish thrown overboard each day because of inefficient, indiscriminate fishing methods. In Boston, Safeway ranked #1 and Whole Foods ranked #2 have for the first time reached the "Good" category for their commitment to start selling sustainable canned tuna and their agreement to no longer purchase "red list" fish like Chilean Sea Bass. Ahold/Stop & Shop ranks as #7 and Price Chopper is #11 out of 20 U.S. supermarket chains.
Millions of Americans remain jobless, many of them people who’ve lost everything they worked for over two, three or four decades: predictable careers, financial security, home equity, retirement savings. “Many of them are lost. They see hedge funders and investment bankers as having hijacked the American Dream from the middle class,” says Peter Weddle, former CEO of Job Bank USA, Inc., and author of a new novel, “A Multitude of Hope: A Novel About Rediscovering the American Dream” (AMultitudeofHope.com). “They feel there’s nothing they can do because the American Dream is gone, replaced by the Chinese Dream or the Indian Dream, and they don’t know how they can succeed in this changed world.” On the other hand, many are going back to college. Even Baby Boomers are registering for classes in record numbers: The number of 50- to 64-year-olds enrolled in college jumped 17 percent from 2007 to 2009, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

After attempting and failing numerous fad diets and feeling generally unhappy with her sedentary lifestyle, blogger Caitlin Boyle was burned out. Tired of the monotony of everyday life and determined to feel better overall, Boyle realized that barhopping three times a week and workplace caffeine binges would have to end. Caitlin had reached a turning point: she began to make healthier choices not because she felt she had to, but because she wanted to. Caitlin had reached what she likes to call her “Healthy Tipping Point.” Inspired by her immensely popular blog of the same name, HEALTHY TIPPING POINT: A Powerful Program for a Stronger, Happier You (Avery paperback original; on sale May 1, 2012; $18.00) is NOT a diet book. Rather, it is a holistic guide to healthy living—without the guilt-trips, frustration and arbitrary markers. In Healthy Tipping Point, Boyle helps readers find their personal ideal balance in food, fitness, love and in life, in an easy-to-implement, breakthrough program.

In The Other Side of Normal, Harvard psychiatrist Jordan Smoller shows us that understanding what the mind was designed to do in the first place demystifies mental illness and builds a new foundation for defining psychiatric disorders—from autism to depression. Smoller argues there are no bright lines between normal and abnormal. Psychiatric disorders are variations of the same brain systems that evolved to help us solve the challenges of everyday life. How do we become who we are? Smoller explains where our personalities come from, and how the temperaments we had as infants actually stay with us into adulthood. Why do we choose to date, love, and marry the people we do? Why do some of us form healthy relationships while others form unstable ones? Our relationships are shaped by the biology that drives two imperatives: maternal-child bonding and child-parent attachment.
