Well, we’re officially past the winter solstice, which means that technically the days are only going to get longer from here on out. But despite that, the distant memories of spring and summer are still fading as quickly as the daylight. If you’re feeling unmotivated, lethargic, depressed or just … *loud exhale full of ennui* … here are some books you can read that may help.
Neil Pasricha’s The Happiness Equation
Pasricha’s best-known work is The Book of Awesome, but The Happiness Equation takes a more philosophical approach to the pursuit of happiness instead of … just listing things.

Carlton Cuse Is Producing a Spiritual Drama for ABC
Former Lost showrunner and Executive Producer, Carlton Cuse, is teaming with famed author/Pastor Rob Bell for a new spiritual drama for ABC. The series titled Stronger will have spiritual overtones with a story revolving around Tom Stronger, a musician and teacher, and his spiritual journey as he becomes a benefactor and guide to others. ABC dabbled a bit before with a spiritual series known as Eli Stone. Pushing Daises was also a stylized comedy that discussed morality, death and other spiritual stuff.
CBS’ had huge success in the 90s, early 2000s running spiritual based series such as The Promised Land, Joan of Arcadia and Touched By an Angel.
It seems like genre is coming back in these “perilous times” for those who want to see shows about spiritual struggle. I commend the network for taking the risk or rather the “leap of faith.

Carlton Cuse has teamed with author/pastor Rob Bell for Stronger, a drama project with spiritual overtones, which has been sold to ABC via ABC Studios in a hefty script deal. Stronger, which the former Lost co-showrunner and the founder of Michigan’s Mars Hill Bible Church are co-writing and executive producing, revolves around Tom Stronger, a musician and teacher, and his spiritual journey as he becomes a benefactor and guide to others. Music is expected to be a big part of the show, which features autobiographical elements as Bell is a former musician and played with rock/gospel bands in the 1990s. Cuse and Bell met at the 2011 Time 100 gala — Bell was a 2011 honoree and Cuse had been on the magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2010. The two immediately hit it off and soon concocted the idea for Stronger. While spiritual, Stronger won’t be supernatural.
