"I loved it." —Ann Patchett 

The bestselling author of American Housewife ("Dark, deadpan and truly inventive." --The New York Times Book Review) is back with a fiercely funny collection of essays on marriage and manners, thank-you notes and three-ways, ghosts, gunshots, gynecology, and the Calgon-scented, onion-dipped, monogrammed art of living as a Southern Lady.

Helen Ellis has a mantra "If you don't have something nice to say, say something not-so-nice in a nice way." Say "weathered" instead of "she looks like a cake left out in the rain." Say "early-developed" instead of "brace face and B cups." And for the love of Coke Salad, always say "Sorry you saw something that offended you" instead of "Get that stick out of your butt, Miss Prissy Pants." In these twenty-three raucous essays Ellis transforms herself into a dominatrix Donna Reed to save her marriage, inadvertently steals a $795 Burberry trench coat, witnesses a man fake his own death at a party, avoids a neck lift, and finds a black-tie gown that gives her the confidence of a drag queen. While she may have left her home in Alabama, married a New Yorker, forgotten how to drive, and abandoned the puffy headbands of her youth, Helen Ellis is clinging to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread, and offering readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for both sides of the Mason-Dixon.

• This was absolutely terrible and not funny and not interesting. Yuck
• This book had me in stitches from page one. It’s a collection of short essays and the content rings true for anyone who has experienced this thing called life. The author is a modern day Erma Bombeck. I learned so many Southern Lady codes that I fear I’m becoming a Southerner - not a bad thing!
• A fun book of amusing essays, many of which I could relate to on multiple levels. Beneath the humor, there’s a sense of a warm, caring woman who knows who she is and what she wants. This is a woman who’d be fun to have as a friend. Easy read.
• I would read a shopping list if Helen Ellis wrote it. I loved this book.
• Everything my momma taught me, explained in the funniest and most honest way possible! You won't be disappointed with this book.
• Fabulous read!
• Helen Ellis makes me laugh out loud. If you can use some of that, you may want to read this book. Thanks go to Doubleday and Net Galley for the review copy.
  
  Southern Lady Code is a title that carries a code of its own. Some people use the word “lady” to describe European royalty; some to describe a courteous woman, which is what I anticipated here; and some use it to describe a well-mannered woman with a very comfortable income, which appears to be the author’s operating definition. In terms of the “code,” I thought I’d be reading straight satire, but discovered that she has provided a combination of self-help tips and searing, sometimes raucous humor. It works surprisingly well.
  
  I have never made a cheese log before or wanted one, but Ellis’s recipe sounds so persuasively delicious that I may try it. That said, my favorite essays were short on advice and long on humor. I nearly hurt myself laughing over the construction man she found masturbating in her bedroom—did I mention that she gets a little edgy here? And “The Ghost Experience” is massively entertaining. There’s a lot of good material. Though at times her outlook is a little more conservative than my own, I like the things she says in support of gay and trans friends.
  
  Ultimately, I suspect that I am not the target audience for Ellis, who in her middle-aged years is dispensing life skills wrapped in bountiful amounts of humorous anecdotes. She is writing to her peers and to those women younger than herself. I am ten or twenty years older than this woman, but I still came away impressed. So, ladies and women, if you can look past the assumption of a greater-than-average income, you’ll have a good time here, and if you can’t, try to get this collection at the library and read selectively, because more of these essays will resonate than not, for all of us.
  
  I rate this book four giggles, and it will be available to the public tomorrow, April 16, 2019.
• If I've said it once, I've said it a million times - any book that can make me laugh out loud immediately wins its place on my metaphorical shelf of books worth reading.
  
  Southern Lady Code is a short, snappy book full of hilarious essays by Helen Ellis about her life as a woman who grew up in the South. Interestingly enough, I'm not sure I would call this a "southern" work in the way that books by Joshilyn Jackson or William Faulkner are absolutely steeped in southern culture and setting. Ellis has spent a large part of her adult life in New York, and a lot of the stories are very "upper crust NYC" in their sensibilities. The title comes into play as she examines all of the different experiences she has in her life through the lens of this "code" that she learned from growing up in the south. The code is in her own words - "a technique by which, if you don't have something nice to say, you say something not-so-nice in a nice way." As someone who has spent her whole life in the South, I can confirm that almost everything she says is true - it is (unfortunately) not some over-exaggeration of the characteristics of a "southern lady."
  
  Despite this, I don't think that someone would need to be from the south to enjoy this collection - I think it has something to appeal to all women, as it's really about life as a modern American woman. She holds absolutely nothing back, and shares anecdotes that will have you barking with laughter.

Derek è il suo fratellastro, l'uomo che detesta con tutta se stessa. Per anni si sono fatti la guerra, ma a un tratto Kim scopre che i suoi sentimenti sono cambiati e che tutto l'odio e il risentimento provati fino a quel momento hanno lasciato il posto a un amore folle. Sì, folle e del tutto sbagliato, perché Derek non potrà mai essere suo...Questo, almeno, è ciò che pensa Kim, ma una notte, complice la rabbia e la gelosia, accade qualcosa di imprevedibile che cambierà per sempre le vite di entrambi... Un amore proibito, un amore folle che vi terrà con il fiato sospeso fino alla parola fine.EstrattoDerek impiegò meno di cinque minuti per raggiungere la casa. Parcheggiò il fuoristrada nella rimessa adiacente l’abitazione e si diresse alla porta sul retro. Per prima cosa si pulì gli stivali da cowboy sullo zerbino, per liberarli da quanta più polvere possibile, poi fece lo stesso con gli indumenti che indossava, spazzolandoli con le mani, e con il cappello. Carmen non l’avrebbe mai ammesso nella sua cucina, altrimenti, e lui non ci teneva a incappare nelle ire della loro corpulenta cuoca, soprattutto quando impugnava un mestolo. Espletato quel rito, si decise a varcare la soglia. E rimase impalato come una statua di sale. Nel momento in cui mise piede in cucina, il chiacchiericcio cessò. Sbatté le palpebre una, due, mille volte, pensando di avere le allucinazioni, ma non era così. Sedute intorno al grande tavolo della cucina c’erano tre persone Carmen, una signora anziana che Derek riconobbe come la nonna di Kim, la signora Hollings, e una bambina dai lunghi capelli biondi che si stava gustando una fetta di torta alle mele, il capo chino sul piatto che le stava davanti.Sentendolo entrare, la piccola alzò il viso e piantò un paio di occhioni azzurri nei suoi. Derek fece un passo indietro, scioccato, e un rantolo gli sfuggì dalla gola. Non riusciva a smettere di fissarla, perché era come guardarsi in uno specchio quegli occhi erano i suoi, come il viso, la bocca. La somiglianza tra loro era incredibile…Non gli ci volle che qualche istante per fare due più due. E allora allo stupore si sostituì una furia cieca. La signora Hollings si alzò in piedi, sollecita, e gli si avvicinò. «Derek, ascolta, so che sei sconvolto, ma non permettere che sia la rabbia a guidare le tue azioni. Kimberly...» Lui non lasciò nemmeno che la donna finisse il suo bel discorso. «La ucciderò per questo!» ringhiò tra i denti. «Che Dio ci aiuti!» fece in tempo a udire la supplica di Carmen, rivolta al cielo, mentre lasciava la cucina come una fiera ferita. ...le porte della biblioteca praticamente esplosero e un Derek furibondo marciò a passo di carica nella stanza. Puntò direttamente verso di lei, le narici frementi e una luce omicida che gli ardeva negli occhi blu. «Quando diavolo avevi intenzione di dirmi che ho una figlia?» sbraitò stringendole il braccio in una morsa. Il cuore di Kimberly mancò un colpo, poi riprese a galoppare a un ritmo forsennato. «Co-come fai a...?» Sapeva che era inevitabile che il fratellastro venisse a conoscenza dell’esistenza di Maddy, una volta arrivate al ranch, ma avrebbe voluto essere lei a dirglielo. Invece qualcosa doveva essere andato storto.La storia della mia vita, praticamente!, riflette, sarcastica.Derek scoppiò in una risata, ma non era affatto una risata divertita. «Come diavolo faccio a saperlo?» esclamò. «Beh, mi è quasi preso un colpo quando sono entrato in cucina, dalla porta sul retro, e mi sono trovato faccia a faccia con una mia copia in miniatura.» «Mi... mi dispiace, davvero!» replicò lei. «Non avrei voluto che lo scoprissi così, però...» «Non so che diavolo farmene delle tue scuse, sorellina…» ruggì Derek calcando il tono su quell’ultima parola, poi le lasciò andare di colpo il braccio, come se improvvisamente gli facesse schifo persino toccarla.

Do you often find yourself struggling to get a handle on your emotions? How many times have you found yourself feeling guilt, regret even over the things that you said and did when you were emotional? Emotions are one of the most powerful underlying forces within us. Every step we take in life, every move that we make is dictated or ruled at some point by our emotions. When you find it hard to manage your emotions, that's when things start to become a real challenge.

Keeping your cool or a clear head, to be able to think rationally even in the most challenging and emotional situations is not something everyone can do. But it is something we all can learn how to do with the proper techniques and strategies at our disposal. How do you learn to master your emotions? Through emotional intelligence.

This is not your average intelligence. It is not about how many books you've read in your life, how good you are at memorizing facts and how well you excelled in school. It is an entirely different kind of intelligence, one that is in a league of its own. It is the intelligence that is a force to be reckoned with when used appropriately. It can propel you to great heights, to become a motivational leader that others look up to, and it can help you achieve every goal and dream you've ever set for yourself. It can give you the powers of an empath, to feel what others around you feel and to tune in to not just your own emotions but the emotions of others. It is the intelligence that is going to define who you are as a person. It is emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence Raise Your EQ Mastering Self-Awareness & Controlling Your Emotions is a simple, effective, straight to the point guidebook that is going to help you explore

• What emotional intelligence is
• Understanding the importance of mastering self-awareness and how to do it
• The art of controlling your emotions
• How to turn your attention within
• Learning to live a more positive life
• How to become an effective leader who's more aware of themselves
• How to communicate effectively the way a real leader would

You only have to change one life in order to change the world. The question is Are you ready?

Go Be Kind isn’t just a journal or another how-to guide to creating the life you want. It's a series of daily adventures that will help you rediscover the greatest human gift—kindness, which inspires interpersonal connection and is the most rewarding way to lead a more magnificent life.

Created by Leon Logothetis, host of The Kindness Diaries on Netflix, this life-changing book is filled with highly classified missions, treasure hunts, dream dates, awkward moments, and daily adventures that are guaranteed to change your life.

You will step outside of your comfort zone. You will become best friends with total strangers. Some of the adventures can be done while you’re falling asleep at night. Some of them will open your eyes to things you've never seen before. And all of them are really easy.

It might take 28 ½ days. It might take 11. Or you can take all the time you need (the adventure is up to you).

This adventure is about to change your life. And someone else's, too . . .

Because once we start being kind, we realize that there is no faster way to happiness. It will change how you see the world, how you connect with other people, and how you connect with yourself.

And it starts with you. Let’s do it. #gobekind

"I am a collector of journals. I have the best intentions of writing in all of them, and then I end up donating the bulk of my collection because I don't feel a connection with the pages. This book is different. Leon's approach is different. Whether you have seen The Kindness Diaries or not, this book can resonate with anyone. It is fun and a little chaotic (in the best way). It is encouraging and upbeat. And if you so choose, you can even color in the pages to make it truly personalized. I have ordered copies for my friends because I think the value of this book exceeds the cost. More love, less hate. It isn't that difficult and yet we live in a time where it seems like the opposite is rampant. Like Leon, I believe that change begins with kindness and kindness is so under appreciated. This book will change that, and if you buy it and do the exercises, you can change the world- one kind act at a time."

• Very rarely, I hear a phrase so poignant it is able to stop time., It leaves me frozen, and emotions once pushed down rush to the surface and explode, all superficial thoughts stopping for the briefest of moments. In this place appears a gap in time, an immeasurable space experienced by everyone at some point in their lives, the moment where it becomes clear a change is necessary. Most often, when this happenesd to me, it’s not truly the phrase that is unusual, instead, it’s a simple “run of the mill” utterance for many who hear it; it passes other people by as if it were floating on the breeze. But, for me, that sentence cut me, it went in, fast, deep straight to my heart.That phrase manifested not as a thought but as a feeling, a visceral physical reaction, something my body once had but lost. It was once there, but from a place both forgotten and neglected, this phrase bought it back. This feeling was brought back while watching the Kindness Diaries and then more so again and again while reading “Go be Kind”. These reactions seeped deep into my consciousness and would not be shaken, they had taken hold and would only grow.
  
  “Go Be Kind” is the book by the Leon Logothetis, who is also the creator of the Netflix and Prime show The Kindness Diaries. The show is Leon traveling the world with no money relying solely on the kindness of others for this survival (he does not accept money only kindness). “Go Be Kind” is a more detailed journal that is independent of the TV series, but makes many references to the show in its text. In a sense, it gives the reader a road map to their own kindness journey.
  
  Yes, there was another truth when I first received the “Go be Kind book”. To be completely honest, I thought it was absolute garbage! I skimmed it and was put off by the font. Yes, that’s right, the font offended me, you see, I am a 12 point Arial Font guy and this “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” style font looked liked a kids book to me. I stopped at a couple of pages and thought it was simply recycled content from the TV show It appeared to me that Leon was trying to squeeze some extra pennies out of his show by writing a book.
  Needless to say, I left it where I skimmed it, in the bathroom. But, on a later visit, I decided it might be worth a second chance. After watching the netflix series, I knew Leon was not a penny squeezing kind of guy. so I picked it up and started to read it! Imagine that. And, with a new perspective and an open mind, my feelings changed. Each chapter is organized into unique “adventures” and if you read and try and follow the exercises, it really probes deep and forces you to think, to examine who you are and what it really means to be kind.
  In order to help its readers, the text is written in a supportive style, and, often, it preemptively has an answer to the challenges the “adventures” present. Similar to the overall theme of the book, it seems to treat the reader with the same compassion and kindness it teaches. However, some of the adventures are particularly challenging. For example, the third adventure asks the reader to find people who might appear lonely, or someone who looks different that you, and give them a genuine compliment. It sounds simple right? However, for me, and I’m sure for many others who picked this book up with the intention of learning to be more kind, while simple, it was not easy at all. Nevertheless, perseverance delivers. Actually following through with the exercise feels uplifting and freeing!
  Some of the adventures are more straightforward, while others are considerably more difficult, such as approaching and talking to strangers about kindness. Boy, that was a tough one, yet the exercise playing cell phone roulette and just calling someone and connecting seamed easier, but no less meaningful. Lots of adventures involve going out into the world and connecting with those around you, but quite a few are reflective, almost therapeutic exercises such as examining when and why you treated someone poorly.
  It is clear that Leon has really thought this book through, it’s a journey in of itself. I would guess these are all activities that Leon performed and meditated on himself over the past years on his journey to being kind both with himself and others. In addition, throughout the book, there are references to being lonely or feeling like an outsider. It’s certainly a book for us outsiders, people who feel isolated, or at least have at some point in their lives. Leon shares how this happened to him at school and how it changed and shaped his life.
  In summary, the book will continue to change me and others who read it. It has given me the gap that only kindness will, the gap between an event and my reaction to it, one that will help me deal first with myself, then with my family, and finally to engage with the world with a greater sense of connection, compassion and kindness.
  Read the book, do the exercises, ignore the font, you will grow to love it!, watch the show, and be kind- starting with yourself.
• This is not just a book or journal. It's more of an action guide to a kindness adventure! The world around us keeps giving us messages that things are dark, sad, hopeless, and just downright horrible. I found Leon’s Netflix show "The Kindness Diaries" (check it out!) a few months back when I was feeling pretty low. I cried every episode; they were tears of deep gratitude and connection. Connection because I was reminded that there is kindness everywhere around us and we have more in common than we realize, and gratitude because Leon and his crew were out there finding ways to remind all of us that kindness matters and is possible every day, in ways big and small. I’ve always been told by others that I’m a kind person, but through Leon’s show and Facebook page, I've begun to realize I have become rather self absorbed in my own problems and worries. I was so bogged down with work and life and worry that I had stopped going outside my comfort zone to really reach out to others. Let’s face it – we can all find ourselves stuck there! When this book arrived in the mail, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it be tiny print text of narrative, with a few exercises thrown in at the end of each chapter? Nope! I should have known that with Leon’s engaging style and adventurous spirit, it would be something far different! I was thrilled to open it up and begin looking through it. It’s A KINDNESS ADVENTURE ACTION GUIDE, easy to read and follow, full of energizing and meaningful words of wisdom and guides for putting kindness into action.
  
  I highly recommend the hardcover version, since it is designed for you to draw, write, color, journal in, etc.
  
  Get this book – buy one or a few to share with others – and be part of the change the world needs. Go Be Kind! It’s up to us to make the world the kind place we want it to be. Kindness matters and love wins. See you on the journey!
