"The queen of beach reads" (New York Magazine) and #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers an immensely satisfying page-turner in this tale about a summer of scandal at a storied Nantucket hotel. Fresh off a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend, Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton is desperately seeking a second act. When she's named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once Gilded Age gem turned abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic staff can win the favor of their new London billionaire owner, Xavier Darling, as well as that of Shelly Carpenter, the wildly popular Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map. And while the Hotel Nantucket appears to be a blissful paradise, complete with a celebrity chef-run restaurant and an idyllic wellness center, there's a lot of drama behind closed doors. The staff (and guests) have complicated pasts, and the hotel can't seem to overcome the bad reputation it earned in 1922 when a tragic fire killed nineteen-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley. With Grace gleefully haunting the halls, a staff harboring all kinds of secrets, and Lizbet's own romantic uncertainty, is the Hotel Nantucket destined for success or doom? Filled with the emotional depth and multiple points of view that characterize Hilderbrand's novels (The Blue Bistro, Golden Girl) as well as an added dash of Roaring Twenties history, The Hotel Nantucket offers something for everyone in this compelling summer drama.

Two New York Times–bestselling authors unveil new research showing what meditation can really do for the brain. In the last twenty years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it. Sweeping away common misconceptions and neuromythology to open readers’ eyes to the ways data has been distorted to sell mind-training methods, the authors demonstrate that beyond the pleasant states mental exercises can produce, the real payoffs are the lasting personality traits that can result. But short daily doses will not get us to the highest level of lasting positive change—even if we continue for years—without specific additions. More than sheer hours, we need smart practice, including crucial ingredients such as targeted feedback from a master teacher and a more spacious, less attached view of the self, all of which are missing in widespread versions of mind training. The authors also reveal the latest data from Davidson’s own lab that point to a new methodology for developing a broader array of mind-training methods with larger implications for how we can derive the greatest benefits from the practice. Exciting, compelling, and grounded in new research, this is one of those rare books that has the power to change us at the deepest level.

It's Mid-October... I have already spent over five months this year in hotels, and I have another month to go. In the last few years, those hotel and resort stays have included properties in United States, Canada, Scotland, England, France, Wales, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Singapore, Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Italy, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Morocco, South Africa, Panama, and Dubai. While I often get to enjoy these as a VIP guest as a consultant or in my role as publisher of World's Best Golf Destinations, the vast majority are as an unheralded paying guest. Add this vast first-hand travel experience to the over twenty years my company Legendary Marketing has been a world leader in golf, resort, and destination marketing, and I could easily claim to have more experience than all but a handful on the planet. That's before I mention that we managed several properties ranging from a thirty-eight-room hotel to a 168-room resort! While I pick up new and innovative hotel marketing ideas all over the world, the vast majority of hotel marketing that I see from the individual entrepreneur with a handful of rooms to the multinational chains and mega resorts is poor and ineffective. They get caught up in style over substance, branding rather than results and mediocre multichannel marketing without actually acing a single one! A simple change in marketing strategy can have a major impact on your income. In recent years we have produced million-dollar turnarounds at two major resorts we worked with, based on marketing strategy alone. We have saved several family-owned resorts from certain death and helped countless small independent hotels all over the world by showing them simple ways to increase their reach on a tiny budget. It's exciting stuff so open up and let's get started...
