Today on Good Morning America:

Psychiatry professor Elyn Saks discussed The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness (Hyperion, $24.95; unabridged Recorded Books CD, $34.99), which pubs today. PW wrote: “From her extraordinary perspective as both expert and sufferer, Saks carries the reader from the early little quirks to the full blown falling apart, flying apart, exploding psychosis. This is heavy reading, but Saks's account will certainly stand out in its field.” Tomorrow, she’s on The Leonard Lopate Show.

Journalist David Mendell, author of Obama: From Promise to Power (Amistad, $25.95), also pubbing today. This evening, he’ll appear on Hannity & Colmes.

On The Brian Lehrer Show, Michelle Herrera Mulligan, editor of and contributor to Juicy Mangos: Erotica Collection (Atria, $15), a collection of erotica by Latina authors.

Bob Edwards hosted Pulitzer—winning New York Times correspondent Tim Weiner, who revisited Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA (Doubleday, $27.95; Blackstone Audio unabridged CD, $34.95). PW starred its review, which deemed the book “a credible and damning indictment of American intelligence policy.”

Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:

William Gibson and his ninth novel, Spook Country (Putnam, $25.95; Penguin Audio unabridged CD, $29.95). PW starred its review, saying “Compelling characters and crisp action sequences, plus the author's trademark metaphoric language, help make this one of Gibson's best.”

Professor Tal Ben-Shahar became Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment (McGraw-Hill, $21.95; HighBridge unabridged CD, $26.95). From PW’s review: “Though it sounds simple, Ben-Shahar insists on keen self-awareness and purposeful action to overcome entrenched patterns of despondency and/or disbelief. For answer-seekers, this is definitely a good start.”

On The Diane Rehm Show: Dr. Leonard Sax, author of Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men (Basic Books, $25).

Authors on tonight’s Tavis Smiley:

Actress, math superstar and Math-A-Thon national spokesperson Danica McKellar, author of Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail (Hudson Street Press, $23.95).

Clinton administration Middle East envoy Dennis Ross, author of Statecraft: And How To Restore America's Standing in the World (FS&G, $26). PW’s opinion: “Ross makes the seemingly dreary, opaque processes of international diplomacy as coherent, absorbing and occasionally dramatic as a procedural thriller.”
