This is for everyone who is thinking about keeping a journal but never reach the part you do it. The Alchemy Book (April 22) is Sureika Jauad’s ode to the benefits of her lifelong journaling practice, and it is an invitation and guidance to start one for yourself. Jaouad shares insights from decades of journaling experience, along with wisdom and hints from over 100 authors, artists and creative geniuses, including Elizabeth Gilbert, George Sanders, Hanif Abdurakib and Salman Rushdee.

Speaking of advice, don’t miss out on what Hard Things (May 6) can do from Uber Popular Podcast hosts Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle with the same name (May 6). Called the “Guidebook for Living,” the book offers direction and encouragement from 118 “The World’s Most Wonderful Wayfinder.”
Success doesn’t need to mean running a multi-billion dollar tech company and demolishing the country to use your status to line up in your pocket. As an example, you know. There is another way to think about how you will spend the 2,000 years of life that will make up your career.

You can use your talent forever. Take it from who knows. Chef Jose Andre has over 30 restaurants and multiple Michelin stars in his name, but what really defines him is his humanitarian work as the founder of World Central Kitchen. On Recipe (April 22), Andrés shares lessons and inspiration from experience feeding people in kitchens, natural disasters and war zones around the world.
Finally, if the book is our preferred tool for personal change (you’re in the right place!), Bronx’s bibliographic therapy by Emely Rumble (April 29) may be the treatment of what will afflict you.
