HCI Books, the Life Issues Publisher, is the home of dozens of New York Times, USA Today, and national bestselling books.
Adult Children of Alcoholics (Woititz) was the first of HCI's New York Times bestsellers, followed by Healing the Shame that Binds You (Bradshaw), Seven Best Things Happy Couples Do (Friel and Friel), A Child Called It and The Lost Boy (Pelzer), as well as many titles in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series (Canfield and Hansen). Dozens more national bestsellers round out the HCI backlist.
Named the #1 Self-Help Publisher by Publishers Weekly, we are guided by the philosophy that we "publish people, not books" and we consider anthologies a core pillar of our publishing program.
Our success with anthologies has allowed us to showcase the work of hundreds of writers, not all of them professionals. The ULTIMATE series extends that platform to the visual world of photography to offer readers more entertainment, inspiration, and information for the head and the heart.
Each title in the ULTIMATE series features
talented writers who express the texture and nuances of everyday life
full-color photography that tells a story without words
the insight and knowledge of top experts and mentors in specific topics of interest to readers
