A wedding dress is meant to be worn only once. When a stranger finds herself in need of a miracle at the last minute, I do the unthinkable: I offer mine to her. The same one I wore down the aisle for my late husband. Now I’m invited to the wedding and finding myself wondering why I shut myself away from the world for so long. I’m only meant to be at the Wilder Retreat for a single day except I go home with not only a job offer, but the promise of something more.

The New York Times best-selling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt, elevate and change us - and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a doctor or nurse knew how to orchestrate moments that would bring more comfort to patients?

As with everything in life, it could be so easily taken away. We've seen the pain and destruction heading towards the magic realm if we do nothing. The journey we've taken so far has revealed so much more than we were searching for. Nothing will ever be the same if we fail, or even if we win. Isn't that what we want? To make the changes that needed fighting for? Sometimes, I look at the realm that is screaming out for me to save it, and I don't know if it's worth fighting for. Decisions need to be made, and in the end, it will all be paid for in blood.

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

Natalie Haynes returns to the world of Greek myth and this time she examines the role of the goddesses. We meet Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father’s head: goddess of war and wisdom, guardian of Athens. We run with Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as a sacrifice). Here is Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire – there is no deity more determined and able to make you miserable if you annoy her. And then there’s the queen of all the Olympian gods: Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife.

Once there was a prophecy that a chosen one would rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, an immortal god-king. But the prophecy was wrong. Now Jian, the former chosen hero, is just an ordinary young man trying to find his own way. But he may yet have an extraordinary destiny, because he joins forces with Taishi, his grumpy grandmaster, who instructs him in the ways of her family’s powerful war art. Jian still has a long way to go before he can become her heir, so she recruits a band of elderly grandmasters out of retirement to whip him into shape and help with this one last job.

Few writers today have reshaped our view of the ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie Haynes. Divine Might is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies, focusing on the goddesses whose prowess, passions, jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin.
