Wine Hack: Wine Education That Starts with Your Mouth Not with Your Head

Contributor: Schiller, Jeffrey

Annotation: Why is wine so difficult? It might be because we in the industry have long used ridiculous tasting notes to describe wine, even though these descriptions fail to encapsulate all that a wine offers. Notes of blackberries, tobacco, and leather. How does this odd list of a few flavors help you decide if you will like a wine?

“Wine Hack” offers a new way forward. Learn wine like we in the industry learn wine. Spoiler: lots of tasting! This interactive book asks you to taste along with everyday food, drinks, and widely available wines to learn the four attributes that describe all wines, and even learn a few tricks for pairing wine with food.

This is the first book on wine that starts with your mouth, not your head. Teach your mouth wine and you will learn to find wines you love on a regular basis, no matter how snooty that wine shop guy is.”

Miserably Happy: Infuse Your Life with Genuine Meaning, Purpose, Health, and Happiness

Contributor(s): Brannick, Kevin J (Author); Brannick, Michelle A (Author)

Annotation: Happiness is one of the most written about topics in the world. It has been a core concern of humans since the beginning of time. However, “Miserably Happy” provides a unique lens in which to view this powerful emotion. While acknowledging the positive dimension of happiness (as most books do), “Miserably Happy” is also focused on the negative consequences. These negative consequences are based on the current academic and popular conceptualization of happiness being related to the experience of pleasure. In recognizing the negative dimension of happiness, “Miserably Happy” explains how the pursuit of happiness often leads to misery. Twelve-step programs are an example of how various pursuits of happiness can have tragic consequence. Alcoholism, drug abuse, over eating, and sex addiction all begin with the pursuit of pleasure and the hope of happiness.
