A captivating story of love, loss, and second chances. A LONELY HEART IN NEW YORK. A MATCHMAKER IN PARIS. When her once popular column called "Single and Loving It" fails faster than she can meet her next deadline, New York columnist, Lana Levine, fears the end of her career. It doesn't help that Valentine's Day is fast approaching-a harsh reminder of when Roy left her without an explanation and how three years later, she still hasn't moved on. When stress sends her to the doctor's office, she stumbles upon a magazine article about an old man who matches strangers in a small caf in Paris. Lana thinks this is a sign. Desperate for change, she flees to The City of Light-leaving her job in jeopardy. Armed with nothing but hope and a broken heart, she begins her quest to find the mysterious caf . But a careless mistake causes her to miss her only chance to meet the matchmaker. Lost and distraught on the cobblestone streets and narrow alleys, Lana meets Jean-Luc-a handsome poet with an old soul, who hides a painful past. As their paths intertwine against the mesmerizing allure of Paris, their undeniable connection deepens and brings them closer. Until a devastating event pulls them apart and forces Lana back into the life she put on hold. But soon, she discovers that in the midst of pain, love can lead the way. And if she follows her heart, she may just find what she was looking for all along. Join Lana on a thrilling page-turner as fate steers her off course.

"With his pioneering research, Corey Keyes put languishing on the map. In this powerful book, he brings it to life. Get ready to rethink your understanding of mental health, update your views on happiness, and come closer to realizing your potential."--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential If you're muddling through the day in a fog, often forgetting why you walked into a room . . . If you feel emotionally flattened, lacking the energy to socialize or feel joy in the small things . . . If you feel an inner void--like something is missing, but you aren't sure what . . . Then this book is for you. Languishing--the state of mental weariness that erodes our self-esteem, motivation, and sense of meaning--can be easy to brush off as the new normal, especially since indifference is one of its symptoms. It is not a synonym for depression and its attendant state of prolonged sadness. Languishers are more likely to feel out of control of their lives, uncertain about what they want from the future, and paralyzed when faced with decisions. Left unchecked, languishing not only impedes our daily functioning but is a gateway to serious mental illness and early mortality. Emory University sociologist Corey Keyes has spent his career studying the causes and costs of languishing--the neglected middle child of mental health. Now Keyes has written the first definitive book on the subject, examining the ripple effect of languishing on our lives before deftly diagnosing the larger forces behind its rise: the false promises of the self-help industrial complex, a global moment of intense fear and loss, and a failing healthcare system focused on treating rather than preventing illness. Ultimately, Keyes presents a counterintuitive approach to breaking the cycles keeping us stuck and finding a path to true flourishing. Unlike self-improvement systems offering quick-fix mood boosts, his framework focuses on functioning well: taking simple but powerful steps to hold our emotions loosely, becoming more accepting of ourselves and others, and carving out daily moments for the activities that create cycles of meaning, connection, and personal growth.Languishing is a must-read for anyone tempted to downplay feelings of demotivation and emptiness as they struggle to haul themselves through the day, and for those eager to build a higher tolerance for adversity and the pressures of modern life. We can expand our vocabulary for describing our inner experiences and deepest needs--and, with it, our potential to flourish.
