    Life in the Fasting Lane: How to Make Intermittent Fasting a Lifestyle—and Reap the Benefits of Weight Loss and Better Health
    Dr. Jason Fung

    Take the guesswork (and fear) out of fasting with real-life and expert advice.

    In recent years, intermittent fasting—restricting calorie intake for a set number of hours or days—has become an increasingly popular diet strategy. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased longevity.

    But for many who are eager to try out fasting, the regimen can feel a bit intimidating. After all, abstaining from food doesn’t sound like much fun. People rightly wonder: How often can I eat? Will I be able to focus at work? Will I have enough energy to exercise? And perhaps the most concerning question of all: Won’t I be hungry all the time?!

    Enter Dr. Jason Fung—world-renowned fasting expert—his colleague, Megan Ramos, and Eve Mayer, who has experienced the life-changing benefits of fasting through Dr. Fung’s program. Together, they’ve teamed up to write a one-of-a-kind guide that answers the most common questions people have about fasting—and offers a customizable program that provides real results.

    In Life in the Fasting Lane, Dr. Fung, Ramos, and Mayer take the reader by the hand and walk them through the basics of a fasting lifestyle—from the science behind fasting as a health and weight loss strategy to the real-life choices and dilemmas people commonly encounter. While Dr. Fung and Ramos explain the fundamentals of fasting and offer a customizable approach, Mayer shares her in-the-trenches perspective and hard-won knowledge as a success story who turned her life around with fasting.

    With chapters that address everything from meal planning to mental strategies; exercise to socializing, Life in the Fasting Lane is a unique and accessible guide to developing a sustainable and beneficial fasting routine that offers dramatic, lifelong results.

    In Another Time: A Novel
    Jillian Cantor

    A sweeping historical novel that spans Germany, England, and the United States and follows a young couple torn apart by circumstance leading up to World War II—and the family secret that may prove to be the means for survival.

    Love brought them together. But only time can save them...

    1931, Germany. Bookshop owner Max Beissinger meets Hanna Ginsberg, a budding concert violinist, and immediately he feels a powerful chemistry between them. It isn’t long before they fall in love and begin making plans for the future. As their love affair unfolds over the next five years, the climate drastically changes in Germany as Hitler comes to power. Their love is tested with the new landscape and the realities of war, not the least of which is that Hanna is Jewish and Max is not. But unbeknownst to Hanna is the fact that Max has a secret, which causes him to leave for months at a time—a secret that Max is convinced will help him save Hanna if Germany becomes too dangerous for her because of her religion. 

    In 1946, Hanna Ginsberg awakens in a field outside of Berlin. Disoriented and afraid, she has no memory of the past ten years and no idea what has happened to Max. With no information as to Max’s whereabouts—or if he is even still alive—she decides to move to London to live with her sister while she gets her bearings. Even without an orchestra to play in, she throws herself completely into her music to keep alive her lifelong dream of becoming a concert violinist. But the music also serves as a balm to heal her deeply wounded heart and she eventually gets the opening she long hoped for. Even so, as the days, months, and years pass, taking her from London to Paris to Vienna to America, she continues to be haunted by her forgotten past, and the fate of the only man she has ever loved and cannot forget.

    Told in alternating viewpoints—Max in the years leading up to WWII, and Hanna in the ten years after—In Another Time is a beautiful novel about love and survival, passion and music, across time and continents.

    At Bertram's Hotel: A Miss Marple Mystery
    Agatha Christie

    At Bertram’s Hotel the intrepid Miss Marple, on holiday in London, must solve a deadly mystery at the end of a chain of very violent events.

    An old-fashioned London hotel is not quite as reputable as it makes out to be....

    When Miss Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she’s looking for at Bertram’s Hotel: traditional decor, impeccable service, and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly-polished veneer.

    Yet, not even Miss Marple can foresee the violent chain of events set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day....

    The Hunger
    Alma Katsu
    As featured in The New York Times Book Review Summer Reading Issue

    "Supernatural suspense at its finest...The best thing about The Hunger is that it will scare the pants off you."--The New York Times Book Review

    "Deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down, not recommended reading after dark."--Stephen King

    A tense and gripping reimagining of one of America's most fascinating historical moments: the Donner Party with a supernatural twist.

    Evil is invisible, and it is everywhere.

    That is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, and the mysterious death of a little boy have driven the isolated travelers to the brink of madness. Though they dream of what awaits them in the West, long-buried secrets begin to emerge, and dissent among them escalates to the point of murder and chaos. They cannot seem to escape tragedy...or the feelings that someone--or something--is stalking them. Whether it's a curse from the beautiful Tamsen Donner (who some think might be a witch), their ill-advised choice of route through uncharted terrain, or just plain bad luck, the ninety men, women, and children of the Donner Party are heading into one of one of the deadliest and most disastrous Western adventures in American history.

    As members of the group begin to disappear, the survivors start to wonder if there really is something disturbing, and hungry, waiting for them in the mountains...and whether the evil that has unfolded around them may have in fact been growing within them all along.

    Effortlessly combining the supernatural and the historical, The Hunger is an eerie, thrilling look at the volatility of human nature, pushed to its breaking point.
    Speak: 20th Anniversary Edition
    Laurie Halse Anderson
    "Speak up for yourself―we want to know what you have to say."

    From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether.

    Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. But this time Melinda fights back, refuses to be silent, and thereby achieves a measure of vindication.

    A timeless novel about consent and finding the courage to speak up for yourself, the twentieth anniversary edition of the classic novel that has spoken to so many young adults now includes a new introduction written and read by acclaimed writer, host, speaker, and cultural commentator Ashley C. Ford as well as an afterword written and read by New York Times-bestselling author of All American Boys and Long Way Down, Jason Reynolds. This edition will also feature an updated Q&A, resource list, and essay and poem written and read by Laurie Halse Anderson.

    Watching You: A Novel
    Lisa Jewell
    “Quickly and assuredly, Jewell builds an ecosystem of countervailing suspicions…Tricky, clever, unexpected.” —New York Times Book Review

    “Brace yourself as Jewell stacks up the secrets, then lights a long, slow fuse.” —People

    “A seize-you-by-the-throat thriller and a genuinely moving family drama.” —A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

    The instant New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Then She Was Gone delivers another suspenseful page-turner about a shocking murder in a picturesque and well-to-do English town, perfect “for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and Luckiest Girl Alive” (Library Journal).

    Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you.

    As the headmaster credited with turning around the local school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all—including Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom’s teenaged son Freddie—a prodigy with aspirations of becoming a spy for MI5—excels in observing people and has witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father.

    One of Tom’s students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same street, and she’s not convinced her teacher is as squeaky clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna’s mother—whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating in recent years—is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is stalking her.

    Meanwhile, twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam…

    In Lisa Jewell’s latest brilliant “bone-chilling suspense” (People) no one is who they seem—and everyone is hiding something. Who has been murdered—and who would have wanted one of their neighbors dead? As “Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace” (Booklist, starred review), you will be kept guessing until the startling revelation on the very last page.

    Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.

    But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.

    With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems.

    Various Authors

    Nightfire Books, a new horror imprint from Tor Books, is proud to present 35 audio-only horror short stories showcasing the breadth of talent in today's field.

    Theresa DeLucci, editor of Come Join Us By the Fire, says, “We wanted this long list of stories to showcase the scope of modern horror, from the cosmic and Lovecraftian, the beloved undead tropes of zombies, ghosts, and slashers, to the more uncanny and internal terrors of isolation, lost love, aging, and one of the briefest, most distressing alien abduction stories you’ll ever hear (‘No Matter Which Way We Turned’ by 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Brian Evenson.)”

    The authors also reflect the diversity of horror as a field, with selections from horror grandmasters such as Joe R. Lansdale; New York Times bestsellers like Richard Kadrey and Victor LaValle; exciting new voices including recent Bram Stoker Award winner Gwendolyn Kiste (The Rust Maidens), Cassandra Khaw, and Michael Wehunt; and literary crossover stars such as Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties), National Book Award finalist and winner of the the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction.

    There's something for every listener, so come join us by the fire and hear tales not to tell against the dark... but to embrace it.

    Les 8 coups de l'horloge: Arsène Lupin, gentleman cambrioleur
    Maurice Leblanc
    Un fil direct relie ces huit nouvelles, faites de vols, de disparitions et de meurtres : Hortense Daniel. À la fin de la première aventure, Rénine (Arsène Lupin) dit à Hortense : « Eh bien, voilà. Aujourd'hui, jour de la première aventure, l'horloge de Halingre a sonné huit coups. Voulez-vous que nous acceptions l'arrêt qu'elle a rendu, et que sept fois encore, dans un délai de trois mois, par exemple, nous poursuivions ensemble de belles entreprises ? Et voulez-vous qu'à la huitième fois vous soyez tenue de m'accorder ?... » [...] Il se tut. Il regardait les jolies lèvres qu'il voulait demander comme récompense. Ces huit aventures me furent contées jadis par Arsène Lupin, qui les attribuait à l'un de ses amis, le prince Rénine. Pour moi, étant donné la façon dont elles sont conduites, les procédés, les gestes, le caractère même du personnage, il m'est impossible de ne pas confondre les deux amis l'un avec l'autre. Arsène Lupin est un fantaisiste aussi capable de renier certaines de ses aventures que de s'en accorder quelques-unes dont il ne fut pas le héros. Le lecteur jugera, mais je reste persuadé que le prince Rénine et Arsène Lupin ne sont qu'une seule et même personne...
    Réaction en Chaîne (Une Enquête de Riley Paige – Tome 2)
    Blake Pierce

    Des femmes sont retrouvées mortes dans l’état de New York, leurs corps suspendus par des chaînes. Quand le FBI est appelé en renfort, ils n’hésitent pas une seule seconde devant la nature étrange des meurtres – et l’absence de pistes crédibles. Ils savent qu'un seul agent pourra résoudre l'enquête : l'agent spécial Riley Paige.


    Secouée par sa précédente affaire, Riley hésite. Elle est convaincue qu’un tueur en série – son ancien tourmenteur – la harcèle. Cependant, elle sait que sa capacité à pénétrer les esprits malades et sa nature obsessive seront nécessaires pour venir à bout de l’enquête. Elle ne peut tout simplement pas refuser – même si cela doit la pousser dans ses derniers retranchements.


    Ses recherches l’emportent très loin, entre les illusions du tueur, un orphelinat, une prison, dans l’espoir de cerner sa psychose. Quand elle réalise qu’elle a affaire à un véritable psychopathe, elle comprend qu’il frappera à nouveau très bientôt. Mais la propre carrière de Riley est en jeu et sa famille est devenue une cible. Sa psyché fragile menace de s’effondrer sous le poids des responsabilités. Pour elle, c’est trop – et trop tard.


    Sombre thriller psychologique au suspense insoutenable, REACTION EN CHAINE est la deuxième enquête d’une nouvelle série de thrillers qui met en scène un personnage principal attachant et qui vous poussera à lire jusqu'à tard dans la nuit.


    Le tome 3 des enquêtes de Riley Paige sera bientôt disponible.

    A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One
    George R. R. Martin
    NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES—THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON
     
    Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.
     
    Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.
     
    Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

    Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger
    Stephen King
    Now a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba

    “An impressive work of mythic magnitude that may turn out to be Stephen King’s greatest literary achievement” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), The Gunslinger is the first volume in the epic Dark Tower Series.

    A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces readers to one of Stephen King’s most powerful creations, Roland of Gilead: The Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which mirrors our own in frightening ways, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.

    Inspired in part by the Robert Browning narrative poem, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” The Gunslinger is “a compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its center” (Milwaukee Sentinel). It is “brilliant and fresh…and will leave you panting for more” (Booklist).

    Inspired by The Hobbit, and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that Tolkien created to provide "the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues." From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature. The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between powers of good and evil. In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe-hobbits, elves, and wizards-step colorfully forth from the pages. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.

But Thrawn’s origins and the story of his rise in the Imperial ranks have remained mysterious. Now, in Star Wars: Thrawn, Timothy Zahn chronicles the fateful events that launched the blue-skinned, red-eyed master of military strategy and lethal warfare into the highest realms of power—and infamy.

Elles s’y font remarquer, non seulement par leurs toilettes urbaines, mais aussi par leur émotion : très sincèrement émues par la cérémonie, elles pleurent, et communiquent leur émotion à toute l’assemblée. Elles passent ainsi pour profondément dévotes ! Les premiers mots de cette nouvelle : « On allait là, chaque soir, vers onze heures, comme au café, simplement. Ils s’y retrouvaient à six ou huit, toujours les mêmes, non pas des noceurs, mais des hommes honorables, des commerçants, des jeunes gens de la ville ; et l’on prenait sa chartreuse en lutinant quelque peu les filles, ou bien on causait sérieusement avec Madame, que tout le monde respectait.

    Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme
    Stefan Zweig
    Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme est le titre d'une nouvelle de l'écrivain autrichien Stefan Zweig, publiée pour la première fois en 1927 dans le recueil La Confusion des sentiments. Au début du siècle, une petite pension sur la Riviera. Grand émoi chez les clients de l'établissement : l'épouse d'un des pensionnaires, Mme Henriette, est partie avec un jeune homme qui pourtant n'avait passé là qu'une journée. Seul le narrateur prend la défense de cette créature sans moralité. Et il ne trouvera comme alliée qu'une vieille dame anglaise sèche et distinguée. C'est elle qui, au cours d'une longue conversation, lui expliquera quels feux mal éteints cette aventure a ranimés chez elle.

    Conan Doyle
    Un jeune homme se souviendra longtemps de sa nuit du 13 décembre 1894. Ce soir-là, affamé, pauvre et sortant de prison, personne ne veut l'employer et il erre de ville en village. Il se résout à commettre un cambriolage dans une vaste bâtisse, cossue et isolée. Ce jeune homme désespéré pense trouver de quoi survivre quelques temps. Mais tout ne se passe pas comme prévu. Il se retrouve face à face avec une magnifique jeune femme. Mais qui est le plus dangereux ? Un jeune cambrioleur maladroit ou une élégante et très belle manipulatrice nommé Lady Mannering ? De sa prison où il purge une peine de prison à perpétuité pour meurtre, le jeune cambrioleur connait la réponse à cette question...
    La boîte en carton: Les enquêtes de Sherlock Holmes
    Conan Doyle
    Sherlock Holmes, le docteur Watson et l'inspect Lestrade de Scotland Yard rendent visite à Mme Susan Cushing qui vient de recevoir un bien étrange colis : deux oreilles humaines dans une boîte en carton. Ce mystérieux envoi serait-il le point final d'un meurtre ? Quel est le sens de cette découverte macabre ? Sherlock Holmes est une des plus grandes figures de la culture populaire et son seul nom est synonyme de mystère policier, de brouillard londonien et de crimes énigmatiques. Depuis 1887, Sherlock Holmes est le détective privé par excellence. Devenu très rapidement un véritable mythe, avant même la sortie de sa soixantième et dernière aventure en 1927, Sherlock Holmes deme pour certains un héros de fiction créé par Arthur Conan Doyle. Mais pour le plus grand nombre, c’est un homme "qui a vraiment existé", dont les enquêtes sont rapportées par son ami, le docteur Watson. Les exploits de Sherlock Holmes ont été traduits dans le monde entier, ils ont été adaptés de multiples fois au théâtre, à la télévision, en BD et au cinéma.

    Unfu*k Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and into Your Life
    Gary John Bishop

    New York Times Bestseller

    Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings comes this refreshing, BS-free, self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations.

"Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a fu*king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way, it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive, it's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

    In Unfu*k Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions:

    I am willingI am wired to winI got thisI embrace the uncertaintyI am not my thoughts; I am what I doI am relentlessI expect nothing and accept everything

    The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
    Mark Manson

    #1 New York Times Bestseller

    Over 2 million copies sold

    In 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.

    For 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 modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

    Manson 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.

    There 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.

    Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win
    Jocko Willink

    "These guys are intense. And they bring that same fire to their narration in the audiobook. Listen to these insanely competent SEAL officers tell you exactly how to make a team successful through their firsthand experiences in business and combat." - The Hustle

    An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership audiobook that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.

    Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.

    Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields.

    Since it’s release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required listening for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

    Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know
    Malcolm Gladwell
    A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Pres
    Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers -- and why they often go wrong.
    How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true?
    While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you'll hear the voices of people he interviewed--scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life tragedies. There's even a theme song - Janelle Monae's "Hell You Talmbout."
    Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.

    Where the Crawdads Sing
    Delia Owens
    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON
    More than 7 million copies sold worldwide
    A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick
    A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade 

    "I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end!"--Reese Witherspoon

    "Painfully beautiful."--The New York Times Book Review

    For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.

    Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    J.K. Rowling

    Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.

    Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

    La méthode Coué, autosuggestion consciente
    Emile Coué
    "Je n'y arriverai jamais", "Je suis trop fatigué", "Ce n'est pas pour moi"... Personne ne peut contester que ces exemples sont des prophéties autoréalisatrices, et qu'elles entraînent échecs et ennuis, parce qu'on ne cesse de se les répéter. Ne tient-il donc pas qu'à vous de faire tout le contraire, et de vous débarrasser une fois pour toutes de l'auto-sabotage ? Le psychologue Emile Coué fut le tout premier à constater les vertus de l'autosuggestion consciente et à développer une méthode pour influencer favorablement notre inconscient par la suggestion. Sa méthode est aujourd'hui à la racine de la sophrologie et des courants de pensée positive. Voici comment se construire autrement pour retrouver confiance en soi et développer la meilleure des vertus, la maîtrise de soi-même.

    L'Art de la Guerre: Réfléchir pour vaincre
    Sun Tzu

     « Si vous connaissez l'ennemi et que vous vous connaissez vous-même, eussiez-vous cent guerres à mener cent fois vous serez victorieux. Si vous vous connaissez sans connaître l’ennemi, vos chances de perdre et de gagner seront égales. Si vous ne connaissez ni l'ennemi ni vous-même, chaque combat sera votre défaite.  »

    L’Art de la Guerre de Sun Tzu, dans sa traduction de Lionel Gilles (1920) est le traité de stratégie militaire le plus cité et le plus lu. Ses nombreux enseignements font partie de la base des connaissances des stratèges des temps modernes aussi bien que des militaires. C’est aussi un livre indispensable pour prendre en compte son environnement et avancer face aux difficultés de sa vie personnelle, savoir quels terrains favoriser, quels obstacles affronter, quand la victoire est à votre portée et que vous devez vous précipiter pour la saisir.

    Allez de l'avant: Comment vaincre les obstacles et réaliser vos projets
    David Célestin

    L’être humain à souvent tendance à vouloir remettre à plus tard ce qu’il pourrait faire aujourd’hui... C’est un horrible défaut qui empêche la majorité des gens d’atteindre toute forme de succès.

    Comme vous le savez, il y a beaucoup de monde au portillon lorsqu’il s’agit de prendre de bonnes résolutions.

    Et comment vous le savez aussi, lorsqu’il s’agit de TENIR ces bonnes résolutions, le portillon devient... désert ou presque!

    Pourquoi ?

    Tout simplement parce que la majorité des gens ne connaît pas les secrets de ceux qui tiennent toutes leurs résolutions comme par magie.

    Et oui! C’est comme pour tout: il y a des trucs !

    Qu'est-ce qui fait la différence entre ceux qui avancent et ceux qui restent au même point ? Comment faire pour devenir quelqu'un d'actif, cesser d'être une personne passive qui ne réalise pas ses rêves et ses objectifs ?

    La dynamique mentale
    Christian H. Godefroy

    Développez votre potentiel en libérant les 90% de votre cerveau que vous n'exploitez pas avec la méthode de relaxation qui permet d'améliorer son rythme alpha et d'accéder à des niveaux supérieurs de conscience. 

    Aimeriez-vous avoir ce pouvoir ?

    - le pouvoir de transformer votre vie
    - le pouvoir de transformer votre personnalité
    - le pouvoir de transformer vos désirs en réalités
    - le pouvoir de libérer le « géant qui sommeille en vous »
    - le pouvoir de modifier les croyances qui vous limitent
    - le pouvoir d'être heureux
    - le pouvoir d'améliorer votre santé
    - le pouvoir de transformer instantanément votre mauvaise humeur en gaieté
    - le pouvoir de vivre en harmonie avec ceux que vous aimez

    En fait, ce pouvoir, vous l'avez déjà en vous. Mais vous ne savez pas encore comment le libérer totalement et vous en servir à volonté. Et un dangereux hypnotiste, constitué de pensées négatives et de mauvais sorts que vous vous êtes jetés à vous-même, paralyse vos pouvoirs supérieurs.

    La Dynamique Mentale vous révèle ce pouvoir

    Christian Godefroy a introduit en France une méthode inspirée de la sophrologie et du training autogène de Schultz, qui permet à ceux qui désirent développer leurs facultés et améliorer leur vie de manière positive d'accéder au rythme alpha avec la relaxation alpha. Cet état de conscience et de relaxation propice à la suggestion, à l'auto-suggestion permet aussi de libérer l'intuition, la créativité. Il permet aussi de renforcer les suggestions positives que l'on fait en séance d'auto-hypnose.

    Découvrez ou redécouvrez tous les travaux et études qui lui ont permis d'arriver à la création des séminaires de relaxation Alpha : 

    - sophrologie
    - autosuggestion
    - auto-hypnose
    - training autogène de Schultz
    - Psycho cybernétique

Lu par des dizaines de milliers de personnes, ce livre de développement personnel a aussi donné lieu au Séminaire de Dynamique Mentale où les méthodes de relaxation et d'accès aux niveaux supérieurs de conscience sont acquises.

    Auto-Hypnose
    John Mac
    L'autohypnose est une pratique qui conduit à un état mental d'hypervigilance et de relaxation dans lequel le sujet cesse de diriger volontairement le cours de ses pensées : il se met involontairement en rapport avec son inconscient et ses émotions profondes. Vous désirez vous initier à la pratique de l’autohypnose ? Nous vous proposons des exercices simples et accessibles pour atteindre votre état d’hyper vigilance, et donc mieux vous connaître. La notion de développement personnel a des significations différentes selon qu'elle est utilisée par des psychanalystes, des promoteurs de techniques New Age, certains courants du coaching, les éducateurs et spécialistes du travail... Les objectifs du développement personnel renvoient à la connaissance de soi, à la valorisation des talents et potentiels, à l'amélioration de la qualité de vie, à la réalisation de ses aspirations et de ses rêves, etc. Notre collection Développement Personnel se propose de vous guider dans cet apprentissage et accomplissement de soi.
    Atteindre vos objectifs
    David Célestin
    Faire de sa vie un rêve, et non rêver sa vie. Passer d’un désir imprécis à la réalisation concrète de ce qui est réellement important pour vous. Cesser de s’arrêter aux bonnes résolutions pour enfin procéder aux réels changements et à l’action immédiate. Si vous ne faites rien aujourd’hui pour que les choses changent dans la direction que vous souhaitez, croyez-vous que la position des étoiles, la configuration des marées ou un saint esprit vont changer les circonstances extérieures pour vous ? Croyez-vous aux fées et aux lutins ? Tous les jours, votre vie change. Mais êtes-vous acteur de ce changement, décidez-vous des objectifs que vous poursuivez ou vous contentez-vous de voir le paysage défiler sous vos yeux ? Avec cet ouvrage, David Célestin vous permet de réfléchir concrètement et pratiquement sur la nature de vos buts et sur le moyen de vous en rapprocher réellement, jour après jour. Rempli d’exercices pratiques, il vous apprend à pratiquer le changement intérieur qui vous permet de prendre le contrôle de votre destin au lieu de laisser les événements ou les autres décider pour vous. Savoir comment changer sa vie et atteindre ses buts ne sert à rien si vous ne pratiquez pas ces changements, et que vous ne vous rapprochez pas réellement de ces buts. De la même manière que savoir comment lire ou additionner ne sert à rien si vous ne le faites pas, ne le pratiquez pas. Dans « Atteindre vos objectifs » vous passez tout de suite à l’action et vous commencez dès la lecture à opérer ce changement qui vous rendra réellement vivant et changera à tout jamais votre être pour faire de vous la personne que vous rêvez inconsciemment de devenir. Si aujourd’hui, vous n’êtes pas ou n’avez pas ce que vous désirez, c’est de votre faute. C’est parce que quelque chose en vous vous empêche d’obtenir ce que vous désirez. Votre vie ne dépend que de vous, et ce livre vous aidera à prendre la maîtrise sur les circonstances extérieures en changeant ce qu’il y a à l’intérieur de vous…

    Ne coupez jamais la poire en deux: Un manuel redoutable pour négocier gagnant par un négociateur du FBI

    Un guide aussi original que spectaculaire pour tirer, enfin, le meilleur de nos vies professionnelle et personnelle !
    Même si, contrairement à Chris Voss, célèbre négociateur pour le FBI, nous sommes rarement amenés à tenir tête à un forcené reclus dans une banque, notre vie quotidienne s'apparente à une succession de négociations dont nous ne sortons pas toujours vainqueurs : cette promotion dont on rêve, sans cesse repoussée ; ce prêt bancaire qu'on hésite à demander ; les exigences d'un enfant auxquelles on finit par céder...

    Et si on cessait de toujours couper la poire en deux ?

    De ses expériences au sein du FBI, Chris Voss a puisé une série de principes, de tactiques et de stratégies émotionnelles et communicationnelles capables de désarmer l'interlocuteur le plus récalcitrant ou le plus retors, dans toutes les formes de négociation potentielles.

    L' Art d'être grand-père
    Victor Hugo
    On 13 March 1871, his 44-year-old son Charles died of a stroke, while riding in a carriage to a farewell dinner for some of Victor's friends at a restaurant in Bordeaux. Charles's wife died shortly afterwards, and Victor Hugo became the guardian of their children, Georges and Jeanne Hugo. The poems describe the feelings of a grandfather entrusted with innocent young children. Love and tenderness are celebrated, and the complexities, politics, and grand themes of his other poems are set aside.

    Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life
    Ali Wong
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ali Wong’s heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters (the two she put to work while they were still in utero) cover everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mom in a male-dominated profession, and how she trapped their dad.

    “Knife-sharp . . . a genuine pleasure.”—The New York Times 

    NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • Variety • Chicago Tribune • Glamour • New York

    In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.

    The sharp insights and humor are even more personal in this completely original collection. She shares the wisdom she’s learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (i.e. the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam, tales of being a wild child growing up in San Francisco, and parenting war stories. Though addressed to her daughters, Ali Wong’s letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving, and enlightening (and gross) for all.

    Praise for Dear Girls

    “Fierce, feminist, and packed with funny anecdotes.”—Entertainment Weekly

    “[Wong] spins a volume whose pages simultaneously shock and satisfy. . . . Dear Girls is not so much a real-talk handbook as it is a myth-puncturing manifesto.”—Vogue
     
    “[A] refreshing, hilarious, and honest account of making a career in a male-dominated field, dating, being a mom, growing up, and so much more…Yes, this book is addressed to Wong’s daughters, but every reader will find nuggets of wisdom and inspiration and, most important, something to laugh at.”—Bustle

    “I always wanted to punch his face before I read this book. Now I just want to kick him in the balls.”—Larry David

    If there’s one trait that makes someone well suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch—metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. 

    From growing up in a family of firefighters on Staten Island to commuting three hours a day to high school and “seeing the sights” (like watching a Russian woman throw a stroller off the back of a ferry), to attending Harvard while Facebook was created, Jost shares how he has navigated the world like a slightly smarter Forrest Gump.

    You’ll also discover things about Jost that will surprise and confuse you, like how Jimmy Buffett saved his life, how Czech teenagers attacked him with potato salad, how an insect laid eggs inside his legs, and how he competed in a twenty-five-man match at WrestleMania (and almost won). You'll go behind the scenes at SNL and Weekend Update (where he's written some of the most memorable sketches and jokes of the past fifteen years). And you’ll experience the life of a touring stand-up comedian—from performing in rural college cafeterias at noon to opening for Dave Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall.

    For every accomplishment (hosting the Emmys), there is a setback (hosting the Emmys). And for every absurd moment (watching paramedics give CPR to a raccoon), there is an honest, emotional one (recounting his mother’s experience on the scene of the Twin Towers’ collapse on 9/11). Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy—with a face you can’t help but want to punch.
    Bossypants
    Tina Fey
    Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL" (Sunday Telegraph).

    Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

    She has seen both these dreams come true.

    At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

    Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

    A Short History of Nearly Everything
    Bill Bryson
    One of the world’s most beloved and bestselling writers takes his ultimate journey -- into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer.

    In A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson trekked the Appalachian Trail -- well, most of it. In In A Sunburned Country, he confronted some of the most lethal wildlife Australia has to offer. Now, in his biggest book, he confronts his greatest challenge: to understand -- and, if possible, answer -- the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world’s most advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds. A Short History of Nearly Everything is the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science has never been more involving or entertaining.

    Calypso
    David Sedaris
    David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.

    If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong.

    When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself.

    With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.

    This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best.
    Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
    Jenny Lawson

    In Furiously Happy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea.

    But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.

    As Jenny says:

    "Some people might think that being 'furiously happy' is just an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he would say no since he's never particularly liked kangaroos. And that would be ridiculous because no one would invite a herd of kangaroos into their house. Two is the limit. I speak from personal experience. My husband says that none is the new limit. I say he should have been clearer about that before I rented all those kangaroos.


    "Most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked-up but you'd never guess because we've learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. Like John Hughes wrote in The Breakfast Club, 'We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.' Except go back and cross out the word 'hiding.'"

    Furiously Happy is about "taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they're the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence. It's the difference between "surviving life" and "living life". It's the difference between "taking a shower" and "teaching your monkey butler how to shampoo your hair." It's the difference between being "sane" and being "furiously happy."

    Lawson is beloved around the world for her inimitable humor and honesty, and in Furiously Happy, she is at her snort-inducing funniest. This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways. Because as Jenny's mom says, "Maybe 'crazy' isn't so bad after all." Sometimes crazy is just right.

    The Last Black Unicorn
    Tiffany Haddish
    Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album!

    From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.

    Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.

    None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.

    Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.

    By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.
    How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People
    D. L. Hughley

    A cutting satire of race relations in the age of Trump and Black Lives Matter from the hugely popular comedian—one of "The Original Kings of Comedy"—and author of the New York Times bestseller Black Man, White House.

    "White people are always giving out ‘helpful’ advice, such as: ‘Comply with the police and you won’t get shot.’ They’ve been doling out advice to black people ever since ‘I suggest you pick the cotton if you don’t like getting whipped.’ Not getting shot by the police has long been a problem for black people. Even when we had a black president! Now that we have a new set of overlords, with President Trump at the head, wouldn’t it be nice to get a little advice on how not to get shot?"

    From the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump to the tragic events of Ferguson and Charlottesville, the subject of race has come to the forefront of American consciousness. Legendary satirist D. L. Hughley offers his own cutting observations on this contentious issue that continues to traumatize the nation, a wound made more painful by the ongoing comments and actions of the 45th president.

    Hughley uses humor to draw attention to injustice, sardonically offering advice on a number of lessons, from "How to make cops feel more comfortable while they’re handcuffing you" and "The right way to wear a hoodie" to "How to make white food, like lobster rolls" and "Ten types of white people you meet in the suburbs."

    How Not to Get Shot is a much-needed antidote in these distressing times.

    Untamed
    Glennon Doyle
    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today.”—Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book Pick)

    In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and “patron saint of female empowerment” (People) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet others’ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us.

    “Untamed will liberate women—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love

    This is how you find yourself.

    There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.

    For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice—the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world’s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living.

    Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member’s ability to bring her full self to the table. 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.

    Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.
    Caste (Oprah's Book Club): The Origins of Our Discontents
    Isabel Wilkerson
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.
     
    LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • “An instant American classic.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times

    “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.”
     
    In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.
     
    Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.

    Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.
    Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History
    S. C. Gwynne
    *Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award*
    *A New York Times Notable Book*
    *Winner of the Texas Book Award and the Oklahoma Book Award*

    This New York Times bestseller and stunning historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West “is nothing short of a revelation…will leave dust and blood on your jeans” (The New York Times Book Review).

    Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.

    Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands.

    The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne’s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads, and the amazing story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her son Quanah—a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being.

    Hailed by critics, S. C. Gwynne’s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. Empire of the Summer Moon announces him as a major new writer of American history.
    Where the Crawdads Sing
    Delia Owens
    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON
    More than 7 million copies sold worldwide
    A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick
    A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade 

    "I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end!"--Reese Witherspoon

    "Painfully beautiful."--The New York Times Book Review

    For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.

    Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
    Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man
    Mary L. Trump
    In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.

    Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in the heart of Queens, New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald.

    A firsthand witness to countless holiday meals and interactions, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humor to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald’s place in the family spotlight and Ivana’s penchant for regifting to her grandmother’s frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump’s favorite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer’s.

    Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists, and journalists have sought to parse Donald J. Trump’s lethal flaws. Mary L. Trump has the education, insight, and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insider’s perspective but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the world’s most powerful and dysfunctional families.
    Becoming
    Michelle Obama
    An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
     
    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WATCH THE EMMY-NOMINATED NETFLIX ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS

    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.
     
    In 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.
    How to Be an Antiracist
    Ibram X. Kendi
    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the National Book Award–winning author of Stamped from the Beginning comes a “groundbreaking” (Time) approach to understanding and uprooting racism and inequality in our society—and in ourselves.

    “The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind.”—The New York Times

    NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Time • NPR • The Washington Post • Shelf Awareness • Library Journal • Publishers Weekly • Kirkus Reviews

    Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves.

    Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.

    Praise for How to Be an Antiracist

    “Ibram X. Kendi’s new book, How to Be an Antiracist, couldn’t come at a better time. . . . Kendi has gifted us with a book that is not only an essential instruction manual but also a memoir of the author’s own path from anti-black racism to anti-white racism and, finally, to antiracism. . . .  How to Be an Antiracist gives us a clear and compelling way to approach, as Kendi puts it in his introduction, ‘the basic struggle we’re all in, the struggle to be fully human and to see that others are fully human.’ ”—NPR

    “Kendi dissects why in a society where so few people consider themselves to be racist the divisions and inequalities of racism remain so prevalent. How to Be an Antiracist punctures the myths of a post-racial America, examining what racism really is—and what we should do about it.”—Time
    Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
    James Nestor
    AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.

    There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

    Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.

    Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.

    Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
    Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know
    Malcolm Gladwell
    A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Pres
    Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers -- and why they often go wrong.
    How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true?
    While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you'll hear the voices of people he interviewed--scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life tragedies. There's even a theme song - Janelle Monae's "Hell You Talmbout."
    Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.
    Live Free Or Die: America (and the World) on the Brink
    Sean Hannity
    #1 New York Times Bestseller

    America’s top-rated cable news host offers his first book in ten years: a look at America’s fight against those who would reverse our tradition of freedom—a fight we can’t afford to lose in 2020.

    America is great for a reason. Built on principles of freedom, rugged individualism, and self-sufficiency, no country has ever accumulated more power and wealth, abused it less, or used that power more to advance the human condition.

    And yet, as America blossomed, leftwing radicalism and resentment festered beneath the surface, threatening to undermine democracy first in the sixties and now—more insidiously than ever—in the form of social justice warriors, the deep state, and compromised institutions like academia and the mainstream media.

    Our fate if we succumb to a Democratic victory in 2020? A big step toward full-blown socialism along with the economic dysfunction and social strife that are its hallmarks. With radical Democrats demanding the Green New Deal, socialized medicine, abortion on demand, open borders, abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and an end to free speech, our great nation will be fundamentally transformed beyond recognition.

    Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is but one generation away from extinction,” and his words have never rung truer. In Live Free or Die, Sean demonstrates why now is an All Hands on Deck moment to save the Republic. His solution is simple: if all you can do is vote, then vote. But if you can inform people of the truth, that’s even better. And the truth is that the future of American freedom rests on Donald Trump’s reelection.
