Kennedy, right before his inauguration.\n\nKennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, is often ranked among Americans’ most well-liked presidents. Yet what most Americans don’t know is that JFK’s historic presidency almost ended before it began—at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite.\n\nOn December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy’s election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car—a parked Buick—on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew the president-elect’s schedule. He knew when Kennedy would leave his house. He knew where Kennedy was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan—one that could’ve changed the course of history.\n\nWritten in the gripping, page-turning style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch’s bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life.

With a combination of bruising vulnerability and self-deprecating humor, Ferrell’s audacious coming-of-age tale pairs the thrill of true crime with the redemptive arc of a good memoir. It’s a deliciously edgy testament to reinvention." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)\n\nThe compelling, edgy, compassionate, laugh-out-loud memoir from Kari Ferrell, formerly known as the "Hipster Grifter"\n\nBefore Anna Delvey, before the Tinder Swindler, there was Kari Ferrell. Adopted at a young age by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, leading her to run with the “bad crowd” in an effort to fit in. \n\nSoon, stealing from superstores turned into picking up men (and picking their pockets), and before she knew it, Kari graduated from petty theft to Utah’s most wanted list. Though Kari was able to escape the Southwest, she couldn’t outrun her new moniker: the Hipster Grifter. \n\nNew York City’s indie sleaze scene had found its newest celebrity—just as Kari found herself in a heap of trouble. Jail time, riots, bad checks, and an explosion of internet infamy and fetishization put her name in the spotlight. Beyond the gossip and Gawker posts, there’s a side to Kari the media never saw—until now.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"333127908844036091\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211004894').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211004894').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211004894').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211004894').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_214175247"> <a href="/book/show/214175247-the-harder-i-fight-the-more-i-love-you"><img alt="The Harder I Fight the More I Love You: A Memoir" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1719021401l/214175247._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_214175247'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214175247-the-harder-i-fight-the-more-i-love-you?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Harder I Fight the More I Love You: A Memoir<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4739817.Neko_Case\">Neko Case<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.33 avg rating — 147 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer14249008351052279639\">An unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary life—one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood in “slummy, one-horse towns”; obsessive desire; bursts of comedy; and indispensable friendships, reflecting on the way art, music, and a deep connection to nature helped her on a singular journey to be<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText14249008351052279639\" style=\"display:none\">An unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary life—one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood in “slummy, one-horse towns”; obsessive desire; bursts of comedy; and indispensable friendships, reflecting on the way art, music, and a deep connection to nature helped her on a singular journey to become a beloved, Grammy-nominated artist.\n\nNeko Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In The Harder I Fight, the More I Love You, Case brings her trademark candor and precision to a memoir that traces her evolution from an invisible girl “raised by two dogs and a space heater” in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent. In luminous, sharp-edged prose, Case shows readers what it’s like to be left alone for hours and hours as a child, to take refuge in the woods around her home, and to channel the monotony and loneliness and joy that comes from music, camaraderie, and shared experience into art.\n\nThe Harder I Fight, the More I Love You is a rebellious meditation on identity and corruption, and a manifesto on how to make space for ourselves in this world, despite the obstacles we face.\n\n <\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14249008351052279639\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_214175247').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_214175247').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_214175247').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_214175247').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_211003941"> <a href="/book/show/211003941-realm-of-ice-and-sky"><img alt="Realm of Ice and Sky: Triumph, Tragedy, and History's Greatest Arctic Rescue" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1718938520l/211003941._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_211003941'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211003941-realm-of-ice-and-sky?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Realm of Ice and Sky: Triumph, Tragedy, and History's Greatest Arctic Rescue<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/147673.Buddy_Levy\">Buddy Levy<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.38 avg rating — 93 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17856258016439040088\">National Outdoor Book Award-winning author Buddy Levy's thrilling narrative of polar exploration via airship―and the men who sacrificed everything to make history.\n\nArctic explorer and American visionary Walter Wellman pioneered both polar and trans-Atlantic airship aviation, making history’s first <\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText17856258016439040088\" style=\"display:none\">National Outdoor Book Award-winning author Buddy Levy\'s thrilling narrative of polar exploration via airship―and the men who sacrificed everything to make history.\n\nArctic explorer and American visionary Walter Wellman pioneered both polar and trans-Atlantic airship aviation, making history’s first attempts at each. Wellman has been cast as a self-promoting egomaniac known mostly for his catastrophic failures. Instead he was a courageous innovator who pushed the boundaries of polar exploration and paved the way for the ultimate conquest of the North Pole—which would be achieved not by dogsled or airplane, but by airship.\n\nAmerican explorer Dr. Frederick Cook was the first to claim he made it to the North Pole in 1908. A year later, so did American Robert Peary, but both Cook’s and Peary’s claims had been seriously questioned. There was enough doubt that Norwegian explorer extraordinaire Roald Amundsen—who’d made history and a name for himself by being first to sail through the Northwest Passage and first man to the South Pole—picked up where Walter Wellman left off, attempting to fly to the North Pole by airship. He would go in the Norge, designed by Italian aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile. The 350-foot Norge flew over the North Pole on May 12, 1926, and Amundsen was able to accurately record and verify their exact location. \n\nHowever, the engineer Nobile felt slighted by Amundsen. Two years later, Nobile returned, this time in the Italia, backed by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. This was an Italian enterprise, and Nobile intended to win back the global accolades and reputation he believed Amundsen had stripped from him. The journey ended in disaster, death, and accusations of cannibalism, launching one of the great rescue operations the world had ever seen.\n\nRealm of Ice and Sky is the thrilling narrative of polar exploration via airship―and the men who sacrificed everything to make history.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17856258016439040088\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211003941').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211003941').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211003941').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211003941').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_199534697"> <a href="/book/show/199534697-black-in-blues"><img alt="Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1726021576l/199534697._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_199534697'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199534697-black-in-blues?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/134187.Imani_Perry\">Imani Perry<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.28 avg rating — 71 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17907726349544931550\">A surprising and beautiful meditation on the color blue—and its fascinating role in Black history and culture—from National Book Award winner Imani Perry\n\nThroughout history, the concept of Blackness has been remarkably intertwined with another color: blue.

In daily life, it is evoked in countless ways. Blue skies and blue water offer hope for that which lies beyond the current conditions. But blue is also the color of deep melancholy and heartache, echoing Louis Armstrong’s question, “What did I do to be so Black and blue?” In this book, celebrated author Imani Perry uses the world’s favorite color as a springboard for a riveting emotional, cultural, and spiritual journey—an examination of race and Blackness that transcends politics or ideology.\n\nPerry traces both blue and Blackness from their earliest roots to their many embodiments of contemporary culture, drawing deeply from her own life as well as art and history: The dyed indigo cloths of West Africa that were traded for human life in the 16th century. The mixture of awe and aversion in the old-fashioned characterization of dark-skinned people as “Blue Black.” The fundamentally American art form of blues music, sitting at the crossroads of pain and pleasure. The blue flowers Perry plants to honor a loved one gone too soon.\n\nPoignant, spellbinding, and utterly original, Black in Blues is a brilliant new work that could only have come from the mind of one of our greatest writers and thinkers. Attuned to the harrowing and the sublime aspects of the human experience, it is every bit as vivid, rich, and striking as blue itself.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17907726349544931550\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_199534697').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_199534697').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_199534697').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_199534697').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_211025396"> <a href="/book/show/211025396-the-sinners-all-bow"><img alt="The Sinners All Bow: Two Authors, One Murder, and the Real Hester Prynne" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1718908655l/211025396._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_211025396'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211025396-the-sinners-all-bow?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Sinners All Bow: Two Authors, One Murder, and the Real Hester Prynne<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/16428209.Kate_Winkler_Dawson\">Kate Winkler Dawson<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.73 avg rating — 329 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer12620514544865210775\">Acclaimed journalist, podcaster, andcrime historian Kate Winkler Dawson tells the chilling true story of a young woman whose scandalous life was rumored to be Nathaniel Hawthorne’s inspiration for The Scarlet Letter—and whose shocking death inspired the first true-crime book published in America.\n\nO<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText12620514544865210775\" style=\"display:none\">Acclaimed journalist, podcaster, andcrime historian Kate Winkler Dawson tells the chilling true story of a young woman whose scandalous life was rumored to be Nathaniel Hawthorne’s inspiration for The Scarlet Letter—and whose shocking death inspired the first true-crime book published in America.\n\nOn a cold winter day in 1832, Sarah Cornell was found hanging in a barn, four months pregnant, after a disgraceful liaison with a charismatic Methodist minister, Reverend Ephraim Avery. Some (Avery’s lawyers) claimed her death was suicide…but others weren’t so sure. Determined to uncover the real story, intrepid Victorian writer Catharine Williams threw herself into the investigation and wrote what many claim is the first American true-crime narrative, Fall River. The case and Williams’ book became a sensation—one that divided the country and inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. But the reverend was not convicted, and questions linger to this day about what really led to Sarah Cornell’s death. Until now.\n\nIn The Sinners All Bow, acclaimed true-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson travels back in time to 19th century small town America, emboldened to finish the work Williams started nearly two centuries before. Using modern investigative advancements—such as “forensic knot analysis” to determine cause of death, the prosecutor’s notes from 1833, and criminal profiling which was invented 55 years later with Jack the Ripper—Dawson fills in the gaps of Williams’ research to find the truth. Along the way she also examines how society decides who is the “right kind” of crime victim and how America’s long history of religious evangelism may have clouded the facts both in the 1830s and today. Ultimately, The Sinners All Bow brings justice to an unsettling mystery that speaks to our past as well as our present, anchored by three women who subverted the script they were given.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"12620514544865210775\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211025396').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211025396').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211025396').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211025396').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_213111930"> <a href="/book/show/213111930-three-wild-dogs-and-the-truth"><img alt="Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth): A Memoir" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1733346225l/213111930._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_213111930'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/213111930-three-wild-dogs-and-the-truth?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth): A Memoir<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/11466.Markus_Zusak\">Markus Zusak<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.22 avg rating — 1,100 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15888611561086570144\">In this poignant, funny, and disarmingly honest memoir, one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book Thief, tells of his family’s adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs—a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigib<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText15888611561086570144\" style=\"display:none\">In this poignant, funny, and disarmingly honest memoir, one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book Thief, tells of his family’s adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs—a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigible of animals family.\n\nThere’s a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us . . . It’s love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things.\n\nWhat happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, street-hardened dogs—Reuben, more wolf than hound; Archer, blond, beautiful, destructive; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?\n\nThe answer can only be chaos: There are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property damages, injuries, hospital visits, wellness checks, pure comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that must be read to be believed.\n\nThere is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love—and the joy and recognition of family.\n\nThree Wild Dogs (and the Truth) is a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder, a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty—but also the visceral truth of the natural world—straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15888611561086570144\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_213111930').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_213111930').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_213111930').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_213111930').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_209087709"> <a href="/book/show/209087709-the-killing-fields-of-east-new-york"><img alt="The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1718900125l/209087709._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_209087709'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/209087709-the-killing-fields-of-east-new-york?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4035.Stacy_Horn\">Stacy Horn<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.96 avg rating — 25 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer3896677696516529723\">In this groundbreaking work of investigative journalism and true crime, Stacy Horn sheds light on how the subprime mortgage scandal of the 1970s and a long history of white-collar crime slowly devastated East New York, a Brooklyn neighborhood that would come to be known as the Killing Fields.

On a warm summer evening in 1991, seventeen-year-old Julia Parker was murdered in the Brooklyn neighborhood of East New York. An area known for an exorbitant level of violence and crime, East New York had come to be known as the Killing Fields. In the six months after Julia Parker’s death, 62 more people were murdered in the same area. In the early 1990s, murder rates in the neighborhood climbed to the highest in NYPD history. East New York was dying. But how did this once thriving, diverse, family neighborhood fall into such ruin? The answer can be found two decades earlier. In response to redlining and discriminatory housing practices, the Johnson administration passed the Housing and Urban Development Act in 1968. The Federal Housing Authority aimed to use this piece of legislation to help low-income families of color finally achieve homeownership. But they could never have predicted how banks, lenders, realtors, and corrupt FHA officials themselves would use the newly passed law to make victims of the very people they were trying to help, and the devastation they would leave in their wake. A compulsively readable hybrid of true crime and investigative journalism, The Killing Fields of East New York reveals how white-collar crime reduced a prospering neighborhood to abandoned buildings and empty lots. Following the dual threads of the hunt for the network of criminals behind the first subprime mortgage scandal and the ensuing downfall of East New York, Stacy Horn weaves a compelling narrative of government failure, a desperate community, and ultimately the largest series of mortgage fraud prosecutions in American history. The Killing Fields of East New York deftly demonstrates how different types of crime are profoundly entangled, and how the crimes committed in nice suits and corner offices are just as destructive as those committed on the street.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"3896677696516529723\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_209087709').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_209087709').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_209087709').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_209087709').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_211004934"> <a href="/book/show/211004934-how-to-be-enough"><img alt="How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1728566110l/211004934._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_211004934'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211004934-how-to-be-enough?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/16777967.Ellen_Hendriksen\">Ellen Hendriksen<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.25 avg rating — 111 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer6227823404239263543\">Are you your own toughest critic?

Learn to be good to yourself with this clear and compassionate guide.\n\nDo you set demanding standards for yourself? If so, a lot likely goes well in your life: You might earn compliments, admiration, or accomplishments. Your high standards and hard work pay off.\n\nBut privately, you may feel like you’re falling behind, faking it, or different from everybody else. Your eagle-eyed inner quality control inspector highlights every mistake. You try hard to avoid criticism, but criticize yourself. Trying to get it right is your guiding light, but it has lit the way to a place of dissatisfaction, loneliness, or disconnection. In short, you may look like you’re hitting it out of the park, but you feel like you’re striking out.\n\nThis is perfectionism. And for everyone who struggles with it, it’s a misnomer: perfectionism isn’t about striving to be perfect. It’s about never feeling good enough.\n\nDr. Ellen Hendriksen—clinical psychologist, anxiety specialist, and author of How to Be Yourself—is on the same journey as you. In How to Be Enough, Hendriksen charts a flexible, forgiving, and freeing path, all without giving up the excellence your high standards and hard work have gotten you. She delivers seven shifts—including from self-criticism to kindness, control to authenticity, procrastination to productivity, comparison to contentment—to find self-acceptance, rewrite the Inner Rulebook, and most of all, cultivate the authentic human connections we’re all craving.\n\nWith compassion and humor, Hendriksen lays out a clear, effective, and empowering guide. To enjoy rather than improve, be real rather than impressive, and be good to yourself when you’re wired to be hard on yourself.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"6227823404239263543\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211004934').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211004934').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211004934').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211004934').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_211004801"> <a href="/book/show/211004801-blood-and-the-badge"><img alt="Blood and the Badge: The Mafia, Two Killer Cops, and a Scandal That Shocked the Nation" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1718938533l/211004801._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_211004801'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211004801-blood-and-the-badge?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Blood and the Badge: The Mafia, Two Killer Cops, and a Scandal That Shocked the Nation<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/657940.Michael_Cannell\">Michael Cannell<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.20 avg rating — 119 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1714360360976337856\">For the first time in forty years, former New York Times editor Michael Cannell unearths the full story behind two ruthless New York cops who acted as double agents for the Mafia.\n\nNo episode in NYPD history surpasses the depravities of Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, two decorated detectives <\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText1714360360976337856\" style=\"display:none\">For the first time in forty years, former New York Times editor Michael Cannell unearths the full story behind two ruthless New York cops who acted as double agents for the Mafia.\n\nNo episode in NYPD history surpasses the depravities of Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, two decorated detectives who covertly acted as mafia informants and paid assassins in the Scorsese world of 1980s Brooklyn.\n\nFor more than ten years, Eppolito and Caracappa moonlighted as the mob’s early warning alert system, leaking names of mobsters secretly cooperating with the government and crippling investigations by sharing details of surveillance, phone taps and impending arrests. The Lucchese boss called the two detectives his crystal ball: Whatever detectives knew, the mafia soon learned. Most grievously, Eppolito and Caracappa earned bonuses by staging eight mob hits, pulling the trigger themselves at least once.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1714360360976337856\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211004801').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211004801').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211004801').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211004801').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_211025416"> <a href="/book/show/211025416-beyond-anxiety"><img alt="Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1734598384l/211025416._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_211025416'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211025416-beyond-anxiety?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/15205960.Martha_Beck\">Martha Beck<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.10 avg rating — 175 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer8849046995757107652\">From bestselling author Martha Beck, a new path to overcoming anxiety by awakening the creativity within.\n\nWe live in an epidemic of anxiety.

Most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. And for a while it works. But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we’ve been trying to climb out of.\n\nIn Beyond Anxiety, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy.\n\nUsing a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Beck explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an “anxiety spiral,” a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To climb out, we must engage different parts of our nervous system—the parts involved in creativity. Beck provides instructions for engaging the “creativity spiral,” in a process that not only shuts down anxiety but leads to innovative problem solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful, intimate connection with others—and with the world.\n\nThe opposite of anxiety, it turns out, is a wonderful new way of life—one that can calm and inspire us as individuals and help us become a source of healing for everything around us.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8849046995757107652\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211025416').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211025416').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211025416').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211025416').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_212924450"> <a href="/book/show/212924450-dirtbag-queen"><img alt="Dirtbag Queen" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1719002778l/212924450._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_212924450'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/212924450-dirtbag-queen?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Dirtbag Queen<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/49699360.Andy_Corren\">Andy Corren<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.93 avg rating — 151 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17007062903811960323\">\n “Because she was my mother, the death of zaftig good-time gal Renay Corren is newsworthy to me, and I treat it with the same respect and reverence she had for, well, nothing.

A more disrespectful, trash talking woman was not to be found.”\n So began Andy Corren\'s unforgettable obituary for his mother, Renay Mandel Corren, in her hometown paper The Fayetteville Observer, a tribute that went on to touch the hearts of millions around the globe. In his brief telling of the life and legend that was Renay, a “loud, filthy‑minded (and filthy‑mouthed) Jewish lady redneck who birthed six kids—some of whom she even knew,” Andy captured only a slice of his loving and fabulously unconventional mother. His obituary for Renay was just the tip of the iceberg. In this uproariously funny, deeply moving family portrait, readers meet the rest of his absurd his brothers, affectionately nicknamed Asshole (whose terrible attitude permeates every room he enters), Twin (held back a year and constantly mistaken for Andy despite the fact that they look nothing alike), and Rabbi (the only one who had a Bar Mitzvah); his one-eyed pirate queen of a sister, Cathy Sue (a teen bride who lost an eye to a Pepsi bottle); and then there’s the mysterious Bonus, who Andy isn’t aware of until later in life since this mysterious oldest brother grew up at the Green Valley School for Emotionally Disturbed and Delinquent Children. A story of love and forgiveness, as well as a celebration of a woman who “didn\'t cook, didn\'t clean, and was lousy with money” but was “great at dyeing her red roots, weekly manicures, filthy jokes, pier fishing, rolling joints and buying dirty magazines," Dirtbag Queen is an entertaining and poignant portrayal of the complex and heartfelt humanity that unites us all—especially family.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17007062903811960323\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_212924450').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_212924450').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_212924450').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_212924450').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_211003829"> <a href="/book/show/211003829-the-good-mother-myth"><img alt="The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1718938514l/211003829._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_211003829'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211003829-the-good-mother-myth?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6894311.Nancy_Reddy\">Nancy Reddy<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.12 avg rating — 94 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer11023161329640975605\">Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.\n\nWhen Nancy Reddy had her first child she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly <\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText11023161329640975605\" style=\"display:none\">Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.\n\nWhen Nancy Reddy had her first child she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?\n\nFor answers Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from mid-century researchers, yet their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one illustration of a father interacting with his child. Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"11023161329640975605\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover834883_211003829').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover834883_211003829').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover834883_211003829').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover834883_211003829').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover834883_214151728"> <a href="/book/show/214151728-mood-machine"><img alt="Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1719020929l/214151728._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover834883_214151728'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214151728-mood-machine?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/19727847.Liz_Pelly\">Liz Pelly<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.13 avg rating — 223 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer8582667373755474255\">With unprecedented access and unsparing analysis, this is the definitive investigation into Spotify, weaving interviews with incisive cultural criticism, and illuminating how streaming has reshaped music for listeners and artists alike.Flush with testimony from over a hundred industry insiders, form<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText8582667373755474255\" style=\"display:none\">With unprecedented access and unsparing analysis, this is the definitive investigation into Spotify, weaving interviews with incisive cultural criticism, and illuminating how streaming has reshaped music for listeners and artists alike.Flush with testimony from over a hundred industry insiders, former Spotify employees, and musicians, Mood Machine takes us into the inner workings of the highly consolidated modern music business and how it has become personalized, playlisted, autoplayed, and algorithmic. With an expert’s eye, music journalist Liz Pelly reveals how Spotify’s two-sided marketplace—the listeners who pay with their dollars and data, and the musicians who provide the material powering it all—has changed music media forever. She also explores how musicians and listeners are coming together to fight this era of musical individualism and advocate for artists’ futures. Amazon Unbound and Weapons of Math Destruction for the music industry, Mood Machine is a timely and unputdownable exploration of a company that has become synonymous with music.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8582667373755474255\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));;

In <em>Plato and the Tyrant</em>, acclaimed classicist James Romm uses a little-known set of Plato’s personal letters to introduce the man behind the ethereal image, and to explore the formation of his most famous work, <em>Republic</em>. In the second half of his life, an already famous Plato involved himself in the affairs of the two Dionysii, a father and son who ruled Syracuse, at that time the greatest power in the Greek world. Plato’s interventions in the violent contest between Dionysius the Younger and his brother-in-law, Dion—with whom Plato may have had a long love affair—were the backdrop and perhaps the motivation for his masterwork. In a thrilling narrative, Romm captures how Plato’s experiment in enlightened autocracy spiraled into catastrophe and gives us a new account of the origins of Western political philosophy.</span> <a data-text-id="16720711312599835685" href="#" onclick="swapContent($(this));; return false;">...more</a> <br /> <a class="actionLink detailsLink" style="float: right" href="/giveaway/show/401672-plato-and-the-tyrant-the-fall-of-greece-s-greatest-dynasty-and-the-maki">View Details »</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class=" actions giveawayPreviewDetailsContainer"> <div class="mediumTextBottomPadded"> <a class="gr-button" rel="nofollow" href="/giveaway/enter_choose_address/401672-plato-and-the-tyrant-the-fall-of-greece-s-greatest-dynasty-and-the-maki">Enter Giveaway</a> </div> <div class="sansSerif"> <p class="giveawayDetailItem"> <b class="giveawayDetailItemTitle">Format:</b> Print book </p> <p class="giveawayDetailItem"> <b class="giveawayDetailItemTitle">Giveaway ends in:</b> <strong id="timer_401672" class="countdownText">a</strong> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> //<![CDATA[ var timer_401672_end_at = 25165 + new Date().getTime()/1000; function timer_401672_updateTimer() { var time_left = ""; var secs_left = timer_401672_end_at - new Date().getTime()/1000; if(secs_left <= 0) { document.getElementById("timer_401672").innerHTML = "closed"; clearInterval(timer_401672_updater); return; } var minutes_left = secs_left / 60; var hours_left = minutes_left / 60; var days_left = Math.floor(hours_left / 24); if(days_left > 0) { if(false){ time_left += days_left + ":"; }else{ time_left += days_left + " days and "; } } if(false){ time_left += Math.floor(hours_left%24/10) time_left += Math.floor(hours_left%24)%10 + ":"; }else{ time_left += Math.floor(hours_left%24) + ":"; } time_left += Math.floor(minutes_left%60/10); time_left += Math.floor(minutes_left%10) + ":"; time_left += Math.floor(secs_left%60/10); time_left += Math.floor(secs_left%10); document.getElementById("timer_401672").innerHTML = time_left; } timer_401672_updateTimer(); var timer_401672_updater = setInterval(timer_401672_updateTimer, 100); //]]> </script> <br/> </p> <p class="giveawayDetailItem"> <b class="giveawayDetailItemTitle">Availability:</b> 35 copies available, 3571 people requesting </p> <p class="giveawayDetailItem"> <b class="giveawayDetailItemTitle">Giveaway dates:</b> Jan 02 - Feb 01, 2025 </p> <p class="giveawayDetailItem"> <b class="giveawayDetailItemTitle">Countries available:</b> U.S. </p> <div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </li> <li class="listElement giveawayListItem"> <div class="giveawayPreviewBookContainer"> <div class="coverImage"> <a href="/book/show/74223727-u-r-not-what-u-eat"><img alt="U R Not What U Eat by Zvi Pearlstein" title="U R Not What U Eat by Zvi Pearlstein" width="90" class="bookCover" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1677901460l/74223727._SX98_.jpg" /></a> </div> <div class="description descriptionContainer"> <a class="bookTitle" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74223727-u-r-not-what-u-eat">U R Not What U Eat: A Doctor’s Guide to Transform Your Pain to Pearls of Wisdom and Joy</a> <br/> <div id="bookAuthors" class=""> <span class='by'>by</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <div class='authorName__container'> <a class="authorName" itemprop="url" href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/53854456.Zvi_Pearlstein"><span itemprop="name">Zvi Pearlstein</span></a> </div> </span> </div> <br/> <div class="greyText releaseDate">Release date: Oct 21, 2021</div> <div class="giveawayDescriptionDetails"> <span id="freeTextContainer2813611046337527925">We have adult and child obesity epidemics worldwide.

Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.\n\nIn I’m Glad My Mom Died , Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly , she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants.\n\nTold with refreshing candor and dark humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1729064989036242482\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_59366244').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_59366244').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_59366244').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_59366244').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_216351768"> <a href="/book/show/216351768-the-let-them-theory"><img alt="The Let Them Theory" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1735589383l/216351768._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_216351768'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216351768-the-let-them-theory?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Let Them Theory<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4470180.Mel_Robbins\">Mel Robbins<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.32 avg rating — 18,386 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer270292420043861353\">#1 New York Times Bestseller#1 Sunday Times Bestseller#1 Amazon Bestseller#1 Audible Bestseller A Life-Changing Tool Millions of People Can’t Stop Talking AboutWhat if the key to happiness, success, and love was as simple as two words?If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with where <\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText270292420043861353\" style=\"display:none\">#1 New York Times Bestseller#1 Sunday Times Bestseller#1 Amazon Bestseller#1 Audible Bestseller A Life-Changing Tool Millions of People Can’t Stop Talking AboutWhat if the key to happiness, success, and love was as simple as two words?If you\'ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with where you are, the problem isn\'t you.

While also offering suggestions and solutions that could help protect a new generation of kids.” —Shannon Carlin, ,i>TIME, 100 Must-Read Books of 2024\n\nAfter more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. Why?\n\nIn The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.\n\nMost important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.\n\nHaidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children—and ourselves—from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1664121278152931870\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_171681821').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_171681821').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_171681821').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_171681821').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_52129515"> <a href="/book/show/52129515-untamed"><img alt="Untamed" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1585832694l/52129515.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_52129515'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52129515-untamed?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Untamed<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/17099759.Glennon_Doyle\">Glennon Doyle<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.99 avg rating — 481,319 ratings<\/span> — published 2020\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10209779919864424674\">Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call.

And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10209779919864424674\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_52129515').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_52129515').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_52129515').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_52129515').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_167770288"> <a href="/book/show/167770288-counting-the-cost"><img alt="Counting the Cost" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1685444305l/167770288._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_167770288'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/167770288-counting-the-cost?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Counting the Cost<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6984799.Jill_Duggar\">Jill Duggar<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.02 avg rating — 130,499 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15177672933911634443\">For the first time, discover the unedited truth about the Duggars, the traditional Christian family that captivated the nation on TLC’s hit show 19 Kids and Counting.

Jill Duggar and her husband Derick are finally ready to share their story, revealing the secrets, manipulation, and intimidation behind the show that remained hidden from their fans.\n\nJill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines. She didn’t protest the strict model of patriarchy that her family followed, which declares that men are superior, that women are expected to be wives and mothers and are discouraged from attaining a higher education, and that parental authority over their children continues well into adulthood, even once they are married. \n\nBut as Jill got older, married Derick, and they embarked on their own lives, the red flags became too obvious to ignore. For as long as they could, Jill and Derick tried to be obedient family members — they weren’t willing to rock the boat. But now they’re raising a family of their own, and they’re done with the secrets. Thanks to time, tears, therapy, and blessings from God, they have the strength to share their journey. Theirs is a remarkable story of the power of the truth and is a moving example of how to find healing through honesty.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15177672933911634443\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_167770288').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_167770288').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_167770288').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_167770288').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_61714633"> <a href="/book/show/61714633-the-wager"><img alt="The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659407155l/61714633.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_61714633'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61714633-the-wager?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1431785.David_Grann\">David Grann<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.18 avg rating — 157,096 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer5722962092515886862\">From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth.

The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on the Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire.\n\nOn January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty\'s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as "the prize of all the oceans," it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes.\n\nBut then . . . six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes - they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death--for whomever the court found guilty could hang.\n\nThe Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann\'s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O\'Brian, his portrayal of the castaways\' desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann\'s work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"5722962092515886862\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_61714633').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_61714633').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_61714633').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_61714633').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_176443093"> <a href="/book/show/176443093-sociopath"><img alt="Sociopath: A Memoir" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1710615468l/176443093._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_176443093'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176443093-sociopath?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Sociopath: A Memoir<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/40002829.Patric_Gagne\">Patric Gagne<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.78 avg rating — 54,159 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer6490261759076455963\">A fascinating, revelatory memoir revealing the author’s struggle to come to terms with her own sociopathy and shed light on the often maligned and misunderstood mental disorder.\n\nPatric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten.

Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.\n\nShe did her best to pretend she was like everyone else, but the constant pressure to conform to a society she knew rejected anyone like her was unbearable. So Patric stole. She lied. She was occasionally violent. She became an expert lock-picker and home-invader. All with the goal of replacing the nothingness with...something.\n\nIn college, Patric finally confirmed what she’d long suspected. She was a sociopath. But even though it was the very first personality disorder identified—well over 200 years ago—sociopathy had been neglected by mental health professionals for decades. She was told there was no treatment, no hope for a normal life. She found herself haunted by sociopaths in pop culture, madmen and evil villains who are considered monsters. Her future looked grim.\n\nBut when Patric reconnects with an old flame, she gets a glimpse of a future beyond her diagnosis. If she’s capable of love, it must mean that she isn’t a monster. With the help of her sweetheart (and some curious characters she meets along the way) she embarks on a mission to prove that the millions of Americans who share her diagnosis aren’t all monsters either.\n\nThis is the inspiring story of her journey to change her fate and how she managed to build a life full of love and hope.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"6490261759076455963\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_176443093').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_176443093').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_176443093').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_176443093').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_60726415"> <a href="/book/show/60726415-don-t-believe-everything-you-think"><img alt="Don't Believe Everything You Think" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1648738209l/60726415._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_60726415'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60726415-don-t-believe-everything-you-think?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Don't Believe Everything You Think<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/22339336.Joseph_Nguyen\">Joseph Nguyen<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.78 avg rating — 23,831 ratings<\/span> — published 2022\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17677916736521556845\">Learn how to overcome anxiety, self-doubt & self-sabotage without needing to rely on motivation or willpower.\n\nIn this book, you'll discover the root cause of all psychological and emotional suffering and how to achieve freedom of mind to effortlessly create the life you've always wanted to live.\n\nA<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText17677916736521556845\" style=\"display:none\">Learn how to overcome anxiety, self-doubt & self-sabotage without needing to rely on motivation or willpower.\n\nIn this book, you\'ll discover the root cause of all psychological and emotional suffering and how to achieve freedom of mind to effortlessly create the life you\'ve always wanted to live.\n\nAlthough pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.\n\nThis book offers a completely new paradigm and understanding of where our human experience comes from, allowing us to end our own suffering and create how we want to feel at any moment.\n\nNo matter what has happened to you, where you are from, or what you have done, you can still find total peace, unconditional love, complete fulfillment, and an abundance of joy in your life.\n\nNo person is an exception to this.

Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years—in museums and cathedrals all over Europe—Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.\n\nIn The Art Thief, Michael Finkel brings us into Breitwieser’s strange and fascinating world. Unlike most thieves, Breitwieser never stole for money. Instead, he displayed all his treasures in a pair of secret rooms where he could admire them to his heart’s content. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent practically any security system, Breitwieser managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict’s need to score, leading Breitwieser to ignore his girlfriend’s pleas to stop—until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down.\n\nThis is a riveting story of art, crime, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"101965479225010725\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_62873378').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_62873378').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_62873378').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_62873378').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_61062194"> <a href="/book/show/61062194-beyond-the-wand"><img alt="Beyond the Wand: The Magic & Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659651177l/61062194.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_61062194'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61062194-beyond-the-wand?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Beyond the Wand: The Magic & Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1830665.Tom_Felton\">Tom Felton<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.29 avg rating — 137,127 ratings<\/span> — published 2022\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer8296458510857159530\">From the magical moments on set as Draco Malfoy to the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, get a backstage pass into Tom Felton’s life on and off the big screen in this #1 New York Times bestseller. \n\nTom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary.

His early rise to fame in beloved films like \n The Borrowers \ncatapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the \n Harry Potter\n movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. \n \nSpeaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience growing up as part of the wizarding world while also trying to navigate the muggle world. He tells stories from his early days in the business like his first acting gig where he was mistaken for fellow blonde child actor Macaulay Culkin and his \n Harry Potter\n audition where, in a very Draco-like move, he fudged how well he knew the books the series was based on (not at all). He reflects on his experiences working with cinematic greats such as Alan Rickman, Sir Michael Gambon, Dame Maggie Smith, and Ralph Fiennes (including that awkward Voldemort hug). And, perhaps most poignantly, he discusses the lasting relationships he made over that decade of filming, including with Emma Watson, who started out as a pesky nine-year-old whom he mocked for not knowing what a boom mic was but who soon grew into one of his dearest friends. Then, of course, there are the highs and lows of fame and navigating life after such a momentous and life-changing experience.\n \nTom Felton’s \n Beyond the Wand\n is an entertaining, funny, and poignant must-read for any \n Harry Potter\n fan. Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8296458510857159530\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_61062194').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_61062194').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_61062194').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_61062194').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_55539565"> <a href="/book/show/55539565-think-again"><img alt="Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1602574232l/55539565.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_55539565'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55539565-think-again?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6583155.Adam_M_Grant\">Adam M.

Evidence has shown that creative geniuses are not attached to one identity, but constantly willing to rethink their stances and that leaders who admit they don\'t know something and seek critical feedback lead more productive and innovative teams.\n\nNew evidence shows us that as a mindset and a skilllset, rethinking can be taught and Grant explains how to develop the necessary qualities to do it. Section 1 explores why we struggle to think again and how we can learn to do it as individuals, arguing that \'grit\' alone can actually be counterproductive. Section 2 discusses how we can help others think again through learning about \'argument literacy\'. And the final section 3 looks at how schools, businesses and governments fall short in building cultures that encourage rethinking.\n\nIn the end, learning to rethink may be the secret skill to give you the edge in a world changing faster than ever.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15536337274140865605\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_55539565').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_55539565').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_55539565').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_55539565').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_54785515"> <a href="/book/show/54785515-four-thousand-weeks"><img alt="Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1627425434l/54785515._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_54785515'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54785515-four-thousand-weeks?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4384050.Oliver_Burkeman\">Oliver Burkeman<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.21 avg rating — 102,285 ratings<\/span> — published 2021\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1121258025999634003\">The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief.

Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. \n\nNobody needs to be told there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and ceaseless battle against distraction; we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient and life hacks to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. \n\nDrawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1121258025999634003\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_54785515').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_54785515').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_54785515').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_54785515').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_55145261"> <a href="/book/show/55145261-the-anthropocene-reviewed"><img alt="The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1616514130l/55145261.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_55145261'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55145261-the-anthropocene-reviewed?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1406384.John_Green\">John Green<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.36 avg rating — 146,974 ratings<\/span> — published 2021\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer11885886027666579740\">A deeply moving and mind-expanding collection of personal essays in the first ever work of non-fiction from #1 internationally bestselling author John Green\n\nThe Anthropocene is the current geological age, in which human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity.

These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered.\n\nA moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May’s story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas.\n\nUltimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"4660725037475369847\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_52623750').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_52623750').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_52623750').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_52623750').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover501599_51942513"> <a href="/book/show/51942513-think-like-a-monk"><img alt="Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1600432716l/51942513._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover501599_51942513'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51942513-think-like-a-monk?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/16718914.Jay_Shetty\">Jay Shetty<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.19 avg rating — 77,149 ratings<\/span> — published 2020\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer13281389055482268009\">Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.\n\nWhen you think like a monk, you’ll understand:\n- How to overcome negativity\n- How <\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText13281389055482268009\" style=\"display:none\">Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.\n\nWhen you think like a monk, you’ll understand:\n- How to overcome negativity\n- How to stop overthinking\n- Why comparison kills love\n- How to use your fear\n- Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it\n- How to learn from everyone you meet\n- Why you are not your thoughts\n- How to find your purpose\n- Why kindness is crucial to success\n- And much more...\n\nShetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents.\n\nShetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast.\n\nIn this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"13281389055482268009\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover501599_51942513').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover501599_51942513').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover501599_51942513').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover501599_51942513').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="moreLink"> <a class="actionLink" href="/genres/most_read/non-fiction">More most read this week...</a> </div> <div class="clear"></div></div></div><div class="bigBoxBottom"></div></div> <div class=" clearFloats bigBox"><div class="h2Container gradientHeaderContainer"><h2 class="brownBackground"><a href="/list/show_tag/non-fiction">Lists</a></h2></div><div class="bigBoxBody"><div class="bigBoxContent containerWithHeaderContent"> <div class="listRowsFull"> <div class="row" id="topRow"> <div class="cell"> <div class="listImgs"> <a href="/list/show/26495.Best_Woman_Authored_Books"><img alt="To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee" title="To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1553383690l/2657._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/26495.Best_Woman_Authored_Books"><img alt="Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen" title="Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320399351l/1885._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/26495.Best_Woman_Authored_Books"><img alt="Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë" title="Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557343311l/10210._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/26495.Best_Woman_Authored_Books"><img alt="The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank" title="The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1560816565l/48855._SY160_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/26495.Best_Woman_Authored_Books"><img alt="The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood" title="The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1578028274l/38447._SX98_.jpg" /></a> </div> <a class="listTitle" href="/list/show/26495.Best_Woman_Authored_Books">Best Woman-Authored Books</a><br /> <div class="listFullDetails"> 7,880 books — 5,403 voters </div> </div> <div class="cell"> <div class="listImgs"> <a href="/list/show/7616.Motivational_and_Self_Improvement_Books"><img alt="The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.

creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"3561269452438525543\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_23692271').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_23692271').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_23692271').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_23692271').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_127441416"> <a href="/book/show/127441416-anne-frank"><img alt="Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl By Anne Frank" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1696989545l/127441416.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_127441416'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127441416-anne-frank?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl By Anne Frank<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/3720.Anne_Frank\">Anne Frank<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.20 avg rating — 3,958,029 ratings<\/span> — published 1947\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer3240948813420995776\">Annes diary\nb The New York Times 100 books to be read\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKorean Chinese English Franca I took away the life of a dreamy ordinary girl.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag". In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father\'s junkyard.\n\nHer father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. The family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education and no one to intervene when one of Tara\'s older brothers became violent.\n\nThen, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. She taught herself enough mathematics and grammar to be admitted to Brigham Young University, where she studied history, learning for the first time about important world events like the Holocaust and the civil rights movement. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she\'d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.\n\nEducated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty and of the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one\'s life through new eyes and the will to change it.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"7409516363309710178\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_35133922').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_35133922').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_35133922').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_35133922').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_8520610"> <a href="/book/show/8520610-quiet"><img alt="Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328562861l/8520610.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_8520610'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8520610-quiet?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4101935.Susan_Cain\">Susan Cain<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.08 avg rating — 455,932 ratings<\/span> — published 2012\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer4254738769735099782\">The book that started the Quiet RevolutionAt least one-third of the people we know are introverts.

They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"4254738769735099782\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_8520610').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_8520610').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_8520610').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_8520610').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_6493208"> <a href="/book/show/6493208-the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks"><img alt="The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327878144l/6493208._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_6493208'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6493208-the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/2940640.Rebecca_Skloot\">Rebecca Skloot<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.12 avg rating — 768,078 ratings<\/span> — published 2010\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer13844517105319874325\">Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa.

She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her enslaved ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.\n\nYet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.\n\nNow Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the “colored” ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers full of HeLa cells; from Henrietta’s small, dying hometown of Clover, Virginia — a land of wooden quarters for enslaved people, faith healings, and voodoo — to East Baltimore today, where her children and grandchildren live and struggle with the legacy of her cells.\n\nHenrietta’s family did not learn of her “immortality” until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family — past and present — is inextricably connected to the history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.\n\nOver the decade it took to uncover this story, Rebecca became enmeshed in the lives of the Lacks family—especially Henrietta’s daughter Deborah, who was devastated to learn about her mother’s cells. She was consumed with questions: Had scientists cloned her mother? Did it hurt her when researchers infected her cells with viruses and shot them into space? What happened to her sister, Elsie, who died in a mental institution at the age of fifteen? And if her mother was so important to medicine, why couldn’t her children afford health insurance?\n\nIntimate in feeling, astonishing in scope, and impossible to put down, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks captures the beauty and drama of scientific discovery, as well as its human consequences.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"13844517105319874325\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_6493208').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_6493208').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_6493208').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_6493208').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_40121378"> <a href="/book/show/40121378-atomic-habits"><img alt="Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1655988385l/40121378.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_40121378'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40121378-atomic-habits?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7327369.James_Clear\">James Clear<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.34 avg rating — 1,081,239 ratings<\/span> — published 2018\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15056402337038800060\">No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day.

James Clear, one of the world\'s leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.\n\nIf you\'re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn\'t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don\'t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you\'ll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.\n\nClear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.\n\nLearn how to:\n- Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);\n- Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;\n- Design your environment to make success easier;\n- Get back on track when you fall off course;\n...and much more.\n\nAtomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15056402337038800060\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_40121378').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_40121378').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_40121378').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_40121378').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_59366244"> <a href="/book/show/59366244-i-m-glad-my-mom-died"><img alt="I’m Glad My Mom Died" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1649228846l/59366244.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_59366244'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59366244-i-m-glad-my-mom-died?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">I’m Glad My Mom Died<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/15457334.Jennette_McCurdy\">Jennette McCurdy<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.45 avg rating — 1,241,161 ratings<\/span> — published 2022\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer3902691769918882658\">A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life.\n\nJennette McCurdy was six years old<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText3902691769918882658\" style=\"display:none\">A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life.\n\nJennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.\n\nIn I’m Glad My Mom Died , Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly , she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer.

What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime? Freakonomics will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.\n\nThese may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life -- from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing -- and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.\n\nThrough forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives -- how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.\n\nWhat unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a surfeit of obfuscation, complication, and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and -- if the right questions are asked -- is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Steven Levitt, through devilishly clever and clear-eyed thinking, shows how to see through all the clutter.\n\nFreakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.\n(front flap)<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"13179720058334366091\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_1202').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_1202').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_1202').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_1202').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_3228917"> <a href="/book/show/3228917-outliers"><img alt="Outliers: The Story of Success" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344266315l/3228917.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_3228917'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3228917-outliers?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Outliers: The Story of Success<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1439.Malcolm_Gladwell\">Malcolm Gladwell<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.19 avg rating — 825,036 ratings<\/span> — published 2008\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer14270834102560172216\">Learn what sets high achievers apart — from Bill Gates to the Beatles — in this #1 bestseller from "a singular talent" (New York Times Book Review).\n\nIn this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"—the best and the brightest, the most famou<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText14270834102560172216\" style=\"display:none\">Learn what sets high achievers apart — from Bill Gates to the Beatles — in this #1 bestseller from "a singular talent" (New York Times Book Review).\n\nIn this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"—the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?\n\nHis answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.\n\nBrilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14270834102560172216\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_3228917').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_3228917').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_3228917').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_3228917').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_38746485"> <a href="/book/show/38746485-becoming"><img alt="Becoming" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1528206996l/38746485.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_38746485'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38746485-becoming?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Becoming<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/2338628.Michelle_Obama\">Michelle Obama<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.45 avg rating — 1,125,203 ratings<\/span> — published 2018\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer5937792479250713942\">In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era.

As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. \n \nIn her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"5937792479250713942\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_38746485').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_38746485').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_38746485').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_38746485').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_397483"> <a href="/book/show/397483.The_Devil_in_the_White_City"><img alt="The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1583433024l/397483.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_397483'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/397483.The_Devil_in_the_White_City?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/5869.Erik_Larson\">Erik Larson<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\" title=\"really liked it\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\">really liked it<\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 4.00 avg rating — 720,568 ratings<\/span> — published 2003\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10548739018286880554\">Author Erik Larson imbues the incredible events surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with such drama that readers may find themselves checking the book's categorization to be sure that 'The Devil in the White City' is not, in fact, a highly imaginative novel.

Larson tells the stories of two men: Daniel H. Burnham, the architect responsible for the fair\'s construction, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer masquerading as a charming doctor. \n\nBurnham\'s challenge was immense. In a short period of time, he was forced to overcome the death of his partner and numerous other obstacles to construct the famous "White City" around which the fair was built. His efforts to complete the project, and the fair\'s incredible success, are skillfully related along with entertaining appearances by such notables as Buffalo Bill Cody, Susan B. Anthony, and Thomas Edison. \n\nThe activities of the sinister Dr. Holmes, who is believed to be responsible for scores of murders around the time of the fair, are equally remarkable. He devised and erected the World\'s Fair Hotel, complete with crematorium and gas chamber, near the fairgrounds and used the event as well as his own charismatic personality to lure victims. \n\nCombining the stories of an architect and a killer in one book, mostly in alternating chapters, seems like an odd choice but it works. The magical appeal and horrifying dark side of 19th-century Chicago are both revealed through Larson\'s skillful writing. - John Moe<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10548739018286880554\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_397483').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_397483').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_397483').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_397483').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_28257707"> <a href="/book/show/28257707-the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck"><img alt="The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465761302l/28257707.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_28257707'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28257707-the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/8529755.Mark_Manson\">Mark Manson<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.88 avg rating — 1,264,621 ratings<\/span> — published 2016\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer5348877650739702522\">Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780062457738\n\nIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.\n\nFor decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking i<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText5348877650739702522\" style=\"display:none\">Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780062457738\n\nIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.\n\nFor decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.\n\nManson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.\n\nThere are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"5348877650739702522\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_28257707').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_28257707').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_28257707').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_28257707').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_21"> <a href="/book/show/21.A_Short_History_of_Nearly_Everything"><img alt="A Short History of Nearly Everything" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1433086293l/21._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_21'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21.A_Short_History_of_Nearly_Everything?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">A Short History of Nearly Everything<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7.Bill_Bryson\">Bill Bryson<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.22 avg rating — 403,748 ratings<\/span> — published 2003\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15717987140242278190\">Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him.

The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, revealing the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15717987140242278190\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_21').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_21').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_21').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_21').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_22738563"> <a href="/book/show/22738563-we-should-all-be-feminists"><img alt="We Should All Be Feminists" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1430821222l/22738563.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_22738563'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22738563-we-should-all-be-feminists?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">We Should All Be Feminists<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/19992417.Chimamanda_Ngozi_Adichie\">Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.40 avg rating — 311,141 ratings<\/span> — published 2012\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer461372289269044190\">What does “feminism” mean today?

That is the question at the heart of We Should All Be Feminists, a personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her much-viewed TEDx talk of the same name—by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. \n\nWith humor and levity, here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century—one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional behaviors that marginalize women around the world, in order to help readers of all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual politics. Throughout, she draws extensively on her own experiences—in the U.S., in her native Nigeria, and abroad—offering an artfully nuanced explanation of why the gender divide is harmful for women and men, alike. \n\nArgued in the same observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a bestselling novelist, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman today—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"461372289269044190\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover356190_22738563').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover356190_22738563').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover356190_22738563').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover356190_22738563').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover356190_4069"> <a href="/book/show/4069.Man_s_Search_for_Meaning"><img alt="Man’s Search for Meaning" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1535419394l/4069._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover356190_4069'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4069.Man_s_Search_for_Meaning?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Man’s Search for Meaning<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/2782.Viktor_E_Frankl\">Viktor E.

Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man\'s Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.<\/span>\n <a

And when our ancestors finally did make their first cave paintings, what were the first designs? A downward slash, lightning bolts through the bottom and middle--behold, the Running Man. Distance running was revered because it was indispensable; it was the way we survived and thrived and spread across the planet. You ran to eat and to avoid being eaten; you ran to find a mate and impress her, and with her you ran off to start a new life together. You had to love running, or you wouldn't live to love anything else. And like everyhing else we ove--everything we sentimentally call our 'passions' and 'desires' it's really an encoded ancestral necessity. We were born to run; we were born because we run.

"It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members. </div> <div class="greyText statistics"> 27,191 members, last active 5 hours ago </div> </div> <div class="smallListEntry"> <div> <a class="groupName header14 serif" href="/group/show/169034-non-fiction-book-club">Non Fiction Book Club</a> </div> <a title="Non Fiction Book Club" class="leftAlignedImage smallListImage" href="/group/show/169034-non-fiction-book-club"><img width="30" alt="Non Fiction Book Club" src="https://images.gr-assets.com/groups/1586789725p2/169034.jpg" /></a> This group is for anyone who enjoys Non Fiction.
