Project: Happily Ever After is the story of how I went from wishing my husband dead to renewing my wedding vows. My 4-month marital improvement program included 12 books, a trip to New York, a bikini wax, a hugging exercise and a lot of forgiveness. The end result is the first marital improvement book that is told from the perspective of a woman who has lived through it. You can learn more about it at ProjectHappilyEverAfter.com.

When Pete Cerqua first hired me, he didn’t have the kind of platform that book editors dream about. He’d never been on TV and had been interviewed in print rarely. But there was something about his energy that told me, “This guy is going to make it all work.” So I visited his gym and let him put me through a workout. And that’s when I knew he was onto something. The book we created together earned national media attention, with write ups and reviews in Self, O, Health, and The New York Times. Book Page said, “This is a trend-setting fitness guide for the rest of us.” More important, publisher Simon and Schuster turned it into the world’s first Vook.

For this book, I teamed up with Duke professor and researcher Richard Surwit, Ph.D., to explore the link between stress, depression, and diabetes. A Publisher’s Weekly review stated, “The idea of stress contributing to poor health is an old one, but often patients are simply told to “relax”–and it’s even rarer that researchers take the time to carefully study how relaxation can improve physical conditions. Tackling both these issues, Dr. Richard Surwit combines specific relaxation techniques with a solid research background in an effort to help control blood sugar levels….the specific steps aren’t difficult to add to your daily routine and may make just the difference you’ve been hoping for.”
