The KPBS San Diego Book Festival is returning Saturday to the University of San Diego, featuring more than 145 authors.

On KPBS Midday Edition, we speak with two authors who will be in attendance. We get tips for mindful motherhood, and learn about the power of humor to cope with everyday life.

The KPBS Book Festival is open to the public and general admission is free.

Guests:

• Cassidy Freitas, licensed marriage and family therapist, author of "Mom Needs a Moment: How to Stop Your Reaction Before It Starts...and Become a Calmer, Happier, More Connected Parent"
• Chris Duffy, comedian and podcast host of "How To Be a Better Human," author of "Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected and Happy"
