An ingenious blend of biography, criticism, and first-rate science writing, New York Times bestselling author Jonah Lehrer's Proust Was a Neuroscientist urges science and art to listen more closely to each other, for willing minds can combine the best of both, to brilliant effect. In this technology-driven age, it&rsquo;s tempting to believe that science can solve every mystery. After all, science has cured countless diseases and even sent humans into space. But as Jonah Lehrer argues in this sparkling debut, science is not the only path to knowledge. In fact, when it comes to understanding the brain, art got there first. Taking a group of artists &mdash; a painter, a poet, a chef, a composer, and a handful of novelists &mdash; Lehrer shows how each one discovered an essential truth about the mind that science is only now rediscovering. We learn, for example, how Proust first revealed the fallibility of memory; how George Eliot discovered the brain&rsquo;s malleability; how the French chef Escoffier discovered umami (the fifth taste); how C&eacute;zanne worked out the subtleties of vision; and how Gertrude Stein exposed the deep structure of language &mdash; a full half-century before the work of Noam Chomsky and other linguists. Proust Was a Neuroscientist is the ultimate tale of art trumping science, demonstrating that there&rsquo;s a cost to reducing everything to atoms and acronyms and genes. Measurement is not the same as understanding, and art knows this better than science does.

***'A new constellation of astrology guru' - Vogue*** Nobody's future is written in the stars, but we can use the stars to help write our future. For thousands of years people have looked to the night sky for the answers to life's problems. Today's practice is a far cry from newspaper horoscopes and fortune-telling, but instead uses the ancient wisdom of astrology to help us better understand our choices and ourselves. It's not about prescriptive descriptions of personality and fate, but about putting the individual at the centre of decision making. In The Signs, Carolyne Faulkner describes with warmth and humour the qualities associated with each star sign - the good and the bad - and explains how you can use your birth chart (a map of the night sky at the time you were born) to make smarter choices, avoid triggers to stress and forge stronger relationships. This is a clear and simple guide to using the stars to take control of every aspect of your life.

Whether we realize it or not, all of us participate in the social contract every day through mutual obligations among our family, community, place of work, and fellow citizens. Caring for others, paying taxes, and benefiting from public services define the social contract that supports and binds us together as a society. Today, however, our social contract has been broken by changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and the perils of climate change. Minouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience--raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old--and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential.&nbsp;What We Owe Each Other&nbsp;identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return. Powerful, hopeful, and thought-provoking,&nbsp;What We Owe Each Other&nbsp;provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society--together.

A forceful argument against America's vicious circle of growing inequality by the Nobel Prize&ndash;winning economist.
The top 1 percent of Americans control some 40 percent of the nation&rsquo;s wealth. But as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in this best-selling critique of the economic status quo, this level of inequality is not inevitable. Rather, in recent years well-heeled interests have compounded their wealth by stifling true, dynamic capitalism and making America no longer the land of opportunity that it once was. They have made America the most unequal advanced industrial country while crippling growth, distorting key policy debates, and fomenting a divided society. Stiglitz not only shows how and why America&rsquo;s inequality is bad for our economy but also exposes the effects of inequality on our democracy and on our system of justice while examining how monetary policy, budgetary policy, and globalization have contributed to its growth. With characteristic insight, he diagnoses our weakened state while offering a vision for a more just and prosperous future.

Bestselling authors Mary Buffett and David Clark examine seventeen companies that Warren Buffett has bought for himself and for his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, as durable investments and explain why these companies are once again selling at prices that offer great long-term growth prospects. Warren Buffett has always believed that the time to buy stocks is when nobody else wants them. Even some of the most amazing businesses&mdash;those with a durable competitive advantage&mdash;are trading at prices and price-to-earnings ratios that offer investors serious long-term moneymaking opportunities. Pessimism about the banking situation in Europe and unemployment in America have created the perfect storm to bring stock prices down and present value-oriented investors some great possibilities. In Warren Buffett&rsquo;s world, as stock prices decrease, the prospects for investment increase. Putting a number on those prospects tells Warren whether or not the stock is an attractive buy.&nbsp;The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio&nbsp;explains how to do just that&mdash;how to value companies and conservatively estimate the kind of future return that an investment is offering at its current market price. Mary Buffett and David Clark look at stocks in Warren&rsquo;s portfolio as the basis for their analysis. After a brief history of Warren&rsquo;s investment strategy, Buffett and Clark explain how to interpret a company&rsquo;s per-share earnings and per-share book-value histories to quickly identify which companies have a durable competitive advantage and to project the compounding annual rate of return that an investment offers. The authors provide case studies and evaluations of seventeen companies in Warren Buffett&rsquo;s portfolio. The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio&nbsp;is a valuable companion to the other books in Buffett and Clark&rsquo;s successful series&mdash;Buffettology, The Buffettology Workbook, The New Buffettology, The Tao of Warren Buffett, Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements, Warren Buffett&rsquo;s Management Secrets,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Warren Buffett and the Art of Stock Arbitrage

&ldquo;Bracingly intelligent, lucid, balanced&mdash;witty, too. . . . A scrupulous and charming look at our modern understanding of genes and experience.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;Oliver Sacks
Armed with extraordinary new discoveries about our genes, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley turns his attention to the nature-versus-nurture debate in a thoughtful book about the roots of human behavior.
&nbsp;
Ridley recounts the hundred years' war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously free-willed and motivated by instinct and culture. With the decoding of the human genome, we now know that genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues, and even run memory. They are consequences as well as causes of the will.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER &bull; Two longtime friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music, and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly produced expansion of their groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material. &nbsp; Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to our country&rsquo;s polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality.

They also compare notes on their favorite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for&mdash;and the occasional toll of&mdash;telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how our fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity and global leadership.

It's been over a decade since Verne Harnish's best-selling book&nbsp;Mastering the Rockefeller Habits&nbsp;was first released.&nbsp;Scaling Up: How a Few Companies&nbsp;Make It...and Why the Rest Don't&nbsp;is the first major revision of this business classic. In&nbsp;Scaling Up, Harnish and his team share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed from over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities (and weight) that come with scaling up a venture. This book is written so everyone -- from frontline employees to senior executives -- can get aligned in contributing to the growth of a firm. There's no reason to do it alone, yet many top leaders feel like they are the ones dragging the rest of the organization up the S-curve of growth. The goal of this book is to help you turn what feels like an anchor into wind at your back -- creating a company where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money. To accomplish this,&nbsp;Scaling Up&nbsp;focuses on the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. The book includes a series of new one-page tools including the updated One-Page Strategic Plan and the Rockefeller Habits ChecklistTM, which more than 40,000 firms around the globe have used to scale their companies successfully -- many to $1 billion and beyond. Running a business is ultimately about freedom.&nbsp;Scaling Up&nbsp;shows business leaders how to get their organizations moving in sync to create something significant and enjoy the ride.

NEARLY THIRTY YEARS AGO, Stanford University faculty members Jim Collins and Bill Lazier showed you how to turn an entrepreneurial business into an enduring great company. Beyond Entrepreneurship became a leadership staple, particularly among small and early-stage companies. And while Collins would go on to write a series of famous bestsellers that have sold more than ten million copies worldwide, this lesser-known early work remains the favourite of many of his loyal readers. Now, with Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, Collins re-shares the timeless insights in Beyond Entrepreneurship alongside new perspectives gleaned after decades of additional research into what makes great companies tick. In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, you'll learn how to turn your company into the 2.0 version of itself. You'll be challenged to grow your own leadership as your company grows, from 1x to 2x to 5x to 10x. You'll learn Collins's newest reflections on people decisions, insights that extend beyond his seminal "first who" principle about getting the right people on the bus. You'll learn why luck favours the persistent, and what it means to look for "who luck." You'll learn about the origins of the "BHAG" (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), and why even a small business needs a galvanising BHAG to have a complete and inspiring vision. You'll also unlock what Collins calls "The Map." The Map is a road map that pulls together the key concepts developed from thirty years of research and writing into one integrated framework for building a company that delivers superior results, makes a distinctive impact, and achieves lasting endurance. Finally, you'll learn the lessons that Jim Collins himself learned from the most influential mentor in his life, Bill Lazier. Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0 is the ambitious upgrade to a classic. In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, you'll discover that the goal to turn your business into an enduring great company is as relevant - and as within your reach - as ever.

"This Review Goes to 11" Traction gets 4 stars for being the very bestest management book I have read. Unfortunately, that's a scale that maxes out at four. Thus I've proven that business management literature is the antithesis of SpinalTap. Here's what Traction does right: Everything. There are clear plans and tools and strategies for getting a business at least looking in the right direction. How do I know? I've been using them, and they seem to be working. At least nobody's punched me yet - which might be as good as one could expect for anybody who takes a consultant's advice. Here's what Traction does wrong: Cute-ness. This isn't really a severe flaw - more likely it's a problem of the genre. Everything must have a special name in business books. It's a rule. "TO DO LIST" is far too simple, and wouldn't sell any books. "ACCOUNTABILITY ACTION MATRIX" sounds like an MBA, and an MBA = smarter than me. (this is not a real example from Traction. it's what English majors call hyperboleeeeeeeeeee - which means using too many letters to make a point.) Soooo, if you were really bad in a past life, and you now find yourself having to manage an organization, I highly recommend that you read this book. Also, "Five Disfunctions of a Team". Between those two books, you should at least have the skill set necessary to steer a small financial management company through the worst stock market since the Depression. Or so I've heard.

According to John Warrillow, the most common mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that is overly reliant on them. As a result, when the time comes to sell, buyers are unsure that the company&mdash;even if profitable&mdash;can stand on its own. To demonstrate, Warrillow introduces us to Alex, a fictional small business owner who is attempting to sell his advertising agency. Alex approaches Ted, an entrepreneur and old family friend, who advises him to focus on three criteria to make his business sellable: * Teachable: concentrate on products and services that can be taught to employees. * Useful: avoid price wars by specializing in one thing better than everyone else. * Repetitive: generate recurring revenue by designing products that customers must repurchase frequently.

Inspired by a haunting true story, a gorgeous and atmospheric novel about the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers from a remote tower miles from the Cornish coast--and about the wives who were left behind.
&nbsp;
What strange fate befell these doomed men? The heavy sea whispers their names. Black rocks roll beneath the surface, drowning ghosts. And out of the swell like a finger of light, the salt-scratched tower stands lonely and magnificent.
&nbsp;
It's New Year's Eve, 1972, when a boat pulls up to the Maiden Rock lighthouse with relief for the keepers. But no one greets them. When the entrance door, locked from the inside, is battered down, rescuers find an empty tower. A table is laid for a meal not eaten. The Principal Keeper's weather log describes a storm raging round the tower, but the skies have been clear all week. And the clocks have all stopped at 8:45.
&nbsp;
Two decades later, the wives who were left behind are visited by a writer who is determined to find the truth about the men's disappearance. Moving between the women's stories and the men's last weeks together in the lighthouse, long-held secrets surface and truths twist into lies as we piece together what happened, why, and who to believe.
&nbsp;
In her riveting and suspenseful novel, Emma Stonex writes a story of isolation and obsession, of reality and illusion, and of what it takes to keep the light burning when all else is swallowed by dark.

In the highly anticipated&nbsp;Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities&mdash;and also the faults and biases&mdash;of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation&mdash;each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives&mdash;and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.&nbsp;Thinking, Fast and Slow&nbsp;will transform the way you think about thinking.

"Who Moved My Cheese?" is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy. Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are "Littlepeople" &mdash; beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw. "Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life &mdash; whether it's a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind. And the "Maze" is where you look for what you want &mdash; the organisation you work in or the family or community you live in. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the Maze walls. When you come to see "The Handwriting on the Wall," you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life. Written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime.

Chet Holmes has been called &ldquo;one of the top 20 change experts in the country.&rdquo; He helps his clients blow away both the competition and their own expectations. And his advice starts with one simple concept: focus! Instead of trying to master four thousand strategies to improve your business, zero in on the few essential skill areas that make the big difference.

The Ultimate Sales Machine&nbsp;shows you how to tune up and soup up virtually every part of your business by spending just an hour per week on each impact area you want to improve. Like a tennis player who hits nothing but backhands for a few hours a week to perfect his game, you can systematically improve each key area. Holmes offers proven strategies for: &bull; Management: Teach your people how to work smarter, not harder &bull; Marketing: Get more bang from your Web site, advertising, trade shows, and public relations &bull; Sales: Perfect every sales interaction by working on sales, not just in sales The Ultimate Sales Machine will put you and your company on a path to success and help you stay there!

I never expected to enjoy this book so much. I'd be lying if I said it didn't take several tries and restarts before I finally surrendered my mind and set sail into a uniquely written book.
 Let's dissect it. I am a die-hard Peter Pan fan and have always had a soft spot for Hook. What can I say, I'm a sucker for bad guys. My first failed attempt, I went in thinking this book was very cheesey and didn't grab my attention. So I tried again and ended up getting lost in the pages.
&nbsp;
I was completely engrossed in the story as it unfolded. The gore, the descriptions, and the sick erotic fantasies that played out on the pages made me wonder about my own sick desires. This book has everything. The fear, the desire for more mayhem, the lustful desires had me in a trance...
This is not a book for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a happily ever after lovey-dovey romance novel, look elsewhere. This is for the sick and twisted minds of villains. Those who have given up on fairytale endings. This is for fans of Grim, Dark, and devilishly spun fairytales.
&nbsp;
I had trouble distinguishing between JM Barrie's original story and this one, but they are not the same. It takes you to a darker side and transports your mind to a realm of euphoria in a sick and twisted way that lasts until morning.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it&rsquo;s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with&ndash;of all things&ndash;her mind. True chemistry results.
&nbsp;
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America&rsquo;s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth&rsquo;s unusual approach to cooking (&ldquo;combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride&rdquo;) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn&rsquo;t just teaching women to cook. She&rsquo;s daring them to change the status quo.
&nbsp;
Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

Perhaps it was a grandparent, a teacher, or a coworker. Someone older, more patient, and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching and gave you sound advice to help you navigate it. Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom's college professor from nearly two decades ago, was that person.
 Perhaps, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor along the way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again and ask those big questions that have been bothering you?
&nbsp;
Mitch Albom was given a second chance. In the final months of Morrie's life, he rediscovered him. Mitch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, knowing he was dying of ALS (motor neurone disease).

Work 8 hours a day? Come on man, you gotta 10x that and work 80 hours a day. Family, friends, scientists, anyone tell you that's impossible just ignore the haters because they're average and trying to hold you back from success. There are a lot of things to like in this book: don't be a victim, take responsibility for your own actions and future, work hard, be resilient, persist. Grant isn't afraid to tell you that success is going to take work and that it will be difficult, and those are the highlights of the book. The TL:DR of this book is this: the answer to every question in your life is to take "massive action." That's it. No matter the question, the answer is always massive action. And honestly, that works for Grant and his wife. They're on the same page with what their version of success looks like, and they will do anything it takes to get there. The real challenge is when discussing tradeoffs/compromises or these other things that Grant doesn't really believe in. Working 18 hours a day doesn't mean you're sacrificing your family, health, or spiritual life to Grant. He's just 10x'ing those things as well. How you ask? Just do it man. Be in it to win it. Time management? Grant doesn't believe in time management. Just massive action. Seriously, those are his answers for how to have it all in every area of life. The closest he gets to providing a tangible solution for success with his family is spending 1 hour in the morning grocery shopping with his daughter. I'm not being a "hater", I like Grant Cardone. The world needs Grant Cardones. They create great disruption and drive things forward, but the world also needs people to piece together the mess that is left in Grant's wake. He's a chaos generator, constantly creating "new problems." Again, not a bad thing -- but you need a lot of do-ers, "middle-class", or average joes to make the whole machine work as well. I would use the analogy of a baseball lineup. Grant Cardone is a home run hitter. He's swinging for the fences, baby. Every at bat, every situation, he's swinging for the fences. You hit a lot of home runs this way, and you strike out a lot this way too. You need the egotistical home run hitter on your team. But you also need the base hitter, the base stealer, the sacrifice bunter. The cameras go to Grant, the home-run hitter. He's celebrated for his success and garners the attention. But what if the base hitter doesn't want that? What if he wants to do well, get on base consistently, but doesn't aspire to have the cameras in his face? Isn't that also success? Same for economics and the game of life. If everyone was a Grant Cardone we'd just have a bunch of self-absorbed chaos creators wreaking havoc everywhere they went. Again, this is something we need but becomes a recipe for disaster if we prescribe this solution for everyone. Overall, it's a great book if you'e in a funk and feeling sorry for yourself. It's likely that his tough love will motivate you enough to take some action. As far as being what he actually promises -- the answer to success in all areas of life -- it's pretty meh. Massive action is great thing, but the world is far more complex than having one answer be the answer for everything.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a story about veteran screen star Evelyn Hugo. After decades of retiring from Hollywood, Evelyn has finally made the decision to tell the story of her glamorous but scandalous life. But when she chose reporter Monique Grant as her interviewer, no one was more surprised by the decision than Monique, because she was not, after all, a well-known reporter. However, she is still determined to use this opportunity as a springboard for her career to advance. And so, Monique's Evelyn Hugo series of interviews began. Throughout Evelyn's journey starting from the time she came to Los Angeles in the 1950s to change her life to her decision to leave the cinema scene in the 80s, are unbelievable stories of ambition. , about friendship, about love, and seven husbands have played a big part in making Evelyn Hugo's name. The more Monique digs deeper, the more she empathizes with the woman who is a legendary Hollywood icon, but as her story gradually comes to an end, Monique realizes that her life and Evelyn have a strong connection. unbelievably tight. Author Taylor Jenkins Reid, with a realistic and engaging storytelling, portrays the Hollywood of the last decades of the twentieth century - a Hollywood in a prosperous development period with famous actors. Famous in silk costumes is, a Hollywood that represents glitz and luxury. Becoming a famous actor on the silver screen, holding the famous Oscar gold statue, being welcomed, praised and admired by millions of people is the dream of countless boys and girls for the first time. to Hollywood, including Evelyn Hugo. But few people know that to get those successes, Evelyn had to make too many trade-offs. Because hidden behind the glittering cover of Hollywood's wealth and luxury are layers of traps, competition, temptations, and lies. And when standing in front of the prying eyes of public opinion, no one can please everyone. The public can be the most passionate, but also the most ruthless. They follow Evelyn through the camera lens and consider themselves knowledgeable people, giving themselves the right to judge her decisions without knowing that, behind every Evelyn calculation is a story related to her private life, friendship and love. In addition to depicting the picture of Hollywood in the last decades of the twentieth century, author Taylor Jenkins Reid also exposes the sexism that always exists here. Hollywood at the time was still a male-dominated world, where women were valuable only as long as they were beautiful, attractive, and obedient. A typical example of sexism in Hollywood at this time is the cult divorces that cost the press a lot of ink. When a marriage fails, the first person to blame will always be the woman. The public will only point the finger at the woman, criticizing that they are no longer attractive enough to keep the man, and the man will safely emerge from that quagmire with an undamaged reputation. It is because of the tolerance of the public that the position of women in the entertainment industry in particular and society in general is increasingly being clamped down. By building the image of an intelligent, strong, determined Evelyn Hugo and not hesitated in her sense of self-worth, author Taylor Jenkins Reid has affirmed that women are not inferior to men in intelligence. intelligence, talent and dignity, and they deserve their own place in society. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is, all in all, a work worth reading and pondering. It is a story about a veteran star on the screen, but also a story about a woman with the desire to assert her talent and be loved for herself. Behind the camera lens, Evelyn Hugo has hidden a lot of things to protect herself and the people she loves, accepting to become the focus of the public's never-ending gossip. So the public should not rush to judge their idols just because they made a mistake, nor give harsh words to criticize them, but put yourself in their position to understand and sympathize before make any comments. Because like Evelyn Hugo, behind all the frivolous luxuries idols choose to wear, they're just as human as we are.

Mixed feelings about this one. Started off very interesting and I highlighted LOADS of phrases but towards the end it became incredibly repetitive I mean literally the same sentence over and over again. I don&rsquo;t think it needed to be this long at ALL and would have been nicer as a more concise, smaller book as this just made me feel bleh about it. However, loved how compact and short the chapters were and how they were divided into different issues, lists and how to dos. I learnt a lot of new and invaluable things so overall it&rsquo;s much worth the read for your mental health

Some of the characters in The Thursday Murder Club are hilarious. I fell in love with both Elizabeth and Joyce right away. However, there are far too many characters. It's difficult to keep them straight, especially since some are mentioned briefly and then disappear for several chapters. The British wit is fantastic. While the elderly group solves everything and is ultimately the only ones who know the whole truth, the police are not completely inept. I certainly didn't have it all figured out by the end, but it all fit together in a logical way. This is a good book

At first, I found myself perplexed by the tone of the novel. It felt less like I was reading a mental health professional, and more like I was reading an old detective novel. What should have been a read that sucked me in and went quickly, was instead painfully slow. I felt the book crawling, and found the writing to be dry, rife with short statement sentences that made the music of the book tonally flat. I haven&rsquo;t read anything else by Alex Michaelides- though The Maidens is in my TBR list- and I don&rsquo;t know if this is the author&rsquo;s voice, or if it&rsquo;s just this particular novel&rsquo;s tone, but it was thoroughly unenjoyable and I found myself waiting for it to pick up. Finally, it did- at least I thought so. We got into more character development, more from Alicia&rsquo;s perspective, but&hellip; this is where I found the most fault. The formatting of this novel is downright bizarre: Each part resets the count of the chapters, which was aggravating to say the least. That is a method I&rsquo;ve seen used in non-fiction but never in fiction, and I found myself irritated. Not only that, but throughout the novel are Alicia&rsquo;s &ldquo;diary entries&rdquo;, bits of story told from her perspective. But this pissed me off! They are titled diary entries, and she even explains she&rsquo;s writing down her thoughts: But they&rsquo;re written like scenes. Many of them contain full back and forth dialogue, with perfect recollection. I would have rather seen them just as they were: Alicia&rsquo;s point of view scenes. Having them be &ldquo;diary entries&rdquo; was angering, because they weren&rsquo;t. Diary entries, when written by a character, are not written in this way. I found it distracting, taking me out of the book and unable to connect with Alicia. The wonky formatting did nothing but lower my opinion of this book, and make it impossible to relax into the novel. As the book went on, I became increasingly aware of two more things I despised: The way mental health is handled, for one, and sexual commentary through Alicia&rsquo;s point of view, for another. On the first point, this is a book steeped in mental health, with most of the cast of characters being therapists or doctors- or having mental health issues. Some areas are done well, but some are done so horribly that it makes me shudder to think of people reading this book and taking this portrayal as fact. The opinion of main character Theo regarding the patients at The Grove can sometimes be not only ignorant, but offensive. I think a lot of the mental health related moments in this book are poorly researched, or just poorly presented. As for my second point: Moments where Alicia described her husband, and her feelings for him, were often cringeworthy to read. She was written with this idolization of him, this passionate desire for him in perfectly normal, everyday situations. It was as if reading one of those internet memes about &ldquo;men writing women&rdquo;. I think it was unappealing, poorly done, and bordering on unrealistic. I found myself wondering why the abrupt sexual commentary was in this book at all- because it popped up more than once. The one decent thing I can say about this story is that it has all the beats of a good story- even if they&rsquo;re poorly done. There are decent bits of character descriptions when they get introduced, the story idea is solid, and there were some parts that weren&rsquo;t so bad. But the way this story is told was horrendous. Shifting timelines lead to a really big payoff to the mystery- but only if you don&rsquo;t figure it out before you get there, and unfortunately, there were some fairly big tells for the end if you are an experienced reader of thrillers, or if you were paying enough attention. Not only that, but there are some storylines that go unanswered, and they feel like they were just there to distract and trick. I felt like the end reveal was the focus and everything that led up to it was just meant to be a distraction, instead of a real part of the story. It was annoying to see all these ideas go nowhere. Most of all, the thing that infuriated me the most was that the entire book is about one simple question. Why is Alicia silent- why doesn&rsquo;t she talk? Only, the answer to this is not a good one. It&rsquo;s deeply metaphoric, surrounded by a Greek myth, full of intrigue- but the payoff is so poor, and it leaves a lot to be desired. The most important aspect of this book, and it&rsquo;s utterly disappointing. Overall, this book is probably a 3/5. But I chose to give it a 2/5 because of my struggle to get through it, and my disappointment in comparison to the hype. I regret wasting my time reading it. I write about mental health all the time- so to see this book, a poor excuse for representation, get so much undeserved hype makes me all the more upset. This is a slow, agonizing read that made me grit my teeth, and I hope those who read it are not easily fooled by the tricks that cover up what is an amazing plot turned into mush by poor writing.

Deep Work:
Cal Newport believes that there are two types of people who will dominate the future when Artificial Intelligence and machine learning develop will eliminate many of the jobs of the present.
Who can do creative work with AI and Machine Learning. People who are stars in their field. And there are also two core capabilities to develop in the new era:
The ability to quickly grasp difficult problems. The ability to create products at a premium level, in terms of both quality and execution speed. Ultimately, these two abilities both depend on each person's ability to work deep - Deep Work. Simply put, let your mind become the lens of the focused ray of attention.
The rules of Deep Work are as follows:
The results of high quality work = time spent X intensity of focus.
But it's so simple, why are few people able to work deeply?
So Good They Cant Ignore you:
This book actually refreshed my view and my mindset of what work should be like. For years now, I have found myself struggling because I wasn&rsquo;t sure what I was passionate enough about to turn into a career. Sure, I like a lot of things: sport, baking and socializing, to name a few. But I couldn&rsquo;t grasp how to turn this into &lsquo;meaningful&rsquo; work. I mean, I love animals, I&rsquo;m sure we all do (unless you&rsquo;re a psychopath), but we can&rsquo;t all become vets&hellip; it&rsquo;s unrealistic.
However, after reading Newport&rsquo;s book, I feel content in the idea that I need to find my niche; something I&rsquo;m good at, and just focus on that. Like everyone else, I need to develop skills and values before I can gain control and mission in my career.
Apart from the fourth and final chapter being seemingly obvious, my only other criticism is that Newport presents many relevant positive and negative stories of career success throughout his book. However, nearly every negative story appears to focus on a woman and most positive stories are about males. Although I am sure not intentional, it was a recurring thought I had throughout the entirety of the book,
To conclude, Newport&rsquo;s book drew me in. I think his book is not only well written and concise, but I also find it novel, refreshing and realistic. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels they are stuck in a &lsquo;rut&rsquo;, trying to figure out what to do with their lives or in their careers.

There will be a lot of things in "Teaching children to be rich" that you have heard, but Robert's writing style is really easy to understand, the examples are not too "false" so that we can still grasp his ideas and perspective. author without feeling uncomfortable or disagreeing.

It's hideous.
&nbsp;
Life, love, and people all turn ugly.'
&nbsp;
Ugly Love was first published in 2014, but it is currently sitting in Australia's bestselling fiction charts due to its massive social media following. Despite all the review books I have waiting for me, my curiosity about Ugly Love's enormous popularity prompted me to purchase this one! Ugly Love is a defining modern romance story that is emotional and gut punching from beginning to end.
&nbsp;
Ugly Love is one of Colleen Hoover's most notable works. This story follows Tate, a woman who falls for Miles, a distraught and reticent man. When these two souls come together, their bond is undeniable. Miles, on the other hand, is a broken man who can only offer Tate a physical relationship. Miles is emotionally distant, and he makes it clear that he does not wish to discuss his future plans with anyone. Miles is still reeling from his past, which he wishes to keep hidden from Tate. Tate and Miles' emotions run wild as they get closer. Can they follow the rules while remaining casual?
&nbsp;
Discovering Colleen Hoover's writing has been one of my book-related highlights this year. This best-selling author has now written five books that I have read. When I first started seeing so many Colleen Hoover books on my Instagram account feed, I didn't believe all the hype. However, thanks to Ugly Love and the other backlist titles I've read by this global phenomenon, I'm now a CoHo convert.
&nbsp;
Ugly Love contains some heavy themes and triggers, so potential readers should proceed with caution. In my opinion, the content was handled sensitively, and while it was upsetting to read, I was able to move past it and appreciate the true story behind this title. Hoover handles the progression of this story and the related love situation well, owing to her clear writing direction and engaging cast. I liked the alternating narration style, and I connected with the previous story involving the male lead, Miles. Hoover was building to a crushing crescendo involving the reason Miles is such a damaged man, and I could see it. I was exhausted by the time the big reveal arrived. What an unexpected turn of events! The story's high emotion, which feels like a rollercoaster at times, is offset by some raunchy moments between Tate and Miles. Ugly Love definitely packs a punch in terms of sizzle!
&nbsp;
Overall, I couldn't take my gaze away from this one. Ugly Love is certainly deserving of all the attention it has received!

This system was mentioned on NPR. They said hi-tech junkies were hooked on its low tech system of organizing 'your life'. As a result, I read it. At first glance, it appeared to be another of those books aimed squarely at managers and the clueless laptop-toting execu-troids I support in my job. When you read it, the language is hazy and feels like an infomercial. There is a lot of name dropping, and I can see how it would appeal to the people who force the entire IT department to attend a large meeting to watch the video version of "Who Moved My Cheese" right before the big round of layoffs.
&nbsp;
But as I read it, I was able to see through the fog of seminar speak and extract some functional gems. That double-talk has gold in it! (If you're willing to look.)
&nbsp;
I recently finished the book. Now I'm going through it again to simplify the information and create a system that I can manage. To be fair, the author recommends it. He says numerous times in the book that you can modify the system to meet your specific needs. He goes into far too much detail on trivial points and leaves out some details that I believe should be clarified. If you read it a few times and refer back to earlier passages as you go, you'll figure out what he meant.
&nbsp;
I like the part where you write down or record everything that comes to mind. I have a lot of ideas that I lose track of and then have to figure out again later. The Next Actions list and the "Tickler File" / Calendar that you can use to remind yourself about things you might be interested in later but don't have time to think about right now are two of my favorite features. The two-minute rule is fantastic. I began implementing it the moment I read it, and my life has already improved. I like the part where you get rid of all the junk you don't need lying around. However, I doubt there will ever be a 'delegate' box on my flowchart. That's where I believe it's aimed at managers rather than workers.
&nbsp;
Because of all the double talk and repetition, I want to give the "GTD" system four stars and the actual book three. If you need this system, you'll love it; if you don't, you'll despise it. Regarding previous reviewers who stated that it changed their lives, This book is about "getting stuff done," not meditation. It's all about output. (Whatever that entails.) I'm using it to streamline the way I handle day-to-day tasks that I've never been able to master. You might find it useful if you feel like you spend your time reacting to events rather than creating them.

"Digital marketing requires a financial investment. Consider it an expense, and it could break your business."
 Shubham Bapna's "Unleash your business online" comes as a savior in today's digital era, where every brand/startup/company is struggling to establish &amp; maintain their online presence across diverse platforms. He walks us through various methods and tactics for getting your business online in a 15-step process.
He precisely teaches how to get your business online as the founder of four startups, a Finance Graduate, the Founder &amp; CEO of Suprstart Ventures (A Digital Transformation Company), and a Digital Success Coach.
&nbsp;
He makes us understand topics by giving examples/insights from himself and his team on how they generate leads and drive engagement at their ventures. So we can say that his teachings are based on his own experiences, which taught him what works and what doesn't. Although he frequently states that what works for him may not work for everyone, anyone can apply these teachings, learn and unlearn based on what they believe is best for them.
&nbsp;
The book begins with an emphasis on changing the traditional business mindset, analyzing current business, preparing your online presence, and so on, and then he goes on to explain the importance of sales funnels and their creation, identifying appropriate strategies, creating your business story, copywriting, growth hacks, process automation, and scaling your online business.
The book is suitable for beginners, and technical terms are explained in simple terms. However, the language is sometimes too informal, which is not always preferable for me. The book is intended for aspiring entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners, and anyone looking to improve their digital skills. It can also help content creators and sales/marketing professionals grow their brands.
Overall, I would suggest it.

A child's behavior is influenced by a variety of factors, both positive and negative. As parents, we make many mistakes in how we raise our children, some of which are unavoidable. Our innocence or ignorance can turn an innocent child into a difficult child! We must recognize the effects of our own problems on our children and work to overcome them. Otherwise, we risk sending our children astray.
The book's goal is not to instill fear in parents or would-be parents. The author's goal is to teach parents discipline while also shedding light on parental problems and issues.
This book provides an opportunity for introspection because everyone has unique problems and must manage their own behavior, as well as the behavior of their children. The book acts as a mirror, allowing you to see yourself honestly and clearly. It is packed with advice on how to manage ourselves, small children, and adolescents!

I was nervous about purchasing "It Ends With Us," Colleen Hoover's most popular book on BookTok. I was concerned that how I felt about this book would influence how I judged other books I discovered through TikTok in the future. I was even more nervous about writing a review for it because "It Ends With Us" raised the bar not only for all other new adult fiction books, but for all fiction books in general. I now understand why this book and its characters have a cult following.
&nbsp;
Lily Bloom, a 23-year-old college graduate, is in the midst of starting a new, simple life in Boston when she meets neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid. They eventually fall in love after a series of unusual encounters. Bloom's relationship with Kincaid, however, becomes complicated when she runs into her first love, Atlas Corrigan, with whom she had lost contact years before. I found the storyline to be slow-paced when describing Bloom's previous relationship with Corrigan because I was preoccupied with Bloom's current relationship with Kincaid.

&nbsp;
In interviews and in the book's author's note, Hoover explained that many of the events in the book were inspired by true events in her and her mother's lives. She wanted to demonstrate how morally ambiguous domestic abuse can appear when true, romantic love is at stake. I believe Hoover wrote this book specifically to introduce this viewpoint into the new adult genre. According to Georgia's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 38.6% of women experience intimate partner violence for the first time between the ages of 18 and 24. As a woman in this age group whose friends are all women in this age group, I feel compelled to recommend this book to others.
&nbsp;
As a word of caution, I would look up the trigger warnings for this book before purchasing it, as there was one point in the book when I wondered if I would have to put it down. Despite the sensitive subject matter, Hoover wrote heartbreaking scenes with such ease that the story flowed well enough that I didn't need a break. When reading books with a lot of emotional turmoil, I often need a lot of details to fully understand every crevice in the protagonist's mind. Hoover, on the other hand, was able to earn my love &mdash; and deep trust &mdash; for the characters throughout the book and alongside the protagonist without relying on extreme specifics. The book had a lot of highs and lows.
&nbsp;
While "It Ends With Us" is not a romance story, it is a love story. It's a love story about choosing oneself over someone one deeply loves; it's about choosing to end a cycle of violence that harms more people than it helps. This book taught me how women in domestic violence situations may feel torn between someone for whom they made a vow and their own personal well-being and safety. Domestic violence is more nuanced and complex than most people realize. I'm sorry to say that, like Bloom, I fell in love with the abuser while reading this book. I made excuses for him and told myself, "Just give him another chance."
&nbsp;
I attempted to get more information on the upcoming sequel, "It Starts With Us," which is set to be released in October 2022, through an Instagram interaction with Hoover. I requested that Hoover not "be mean to [Corrigan] in the new book." "Neverrer," she said. Fans speculated about the new book because of the typo and extra letters in her response. "It Starts With Us" will most likely focus on the aftermath of domestic violence and the rebuilding of the three main characters' relationships.
I put the book down after finishing it because I felt compelled to run to Bema and scream. The ending is both beautiful and necessary &mdash; I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
&nbsp;

This book is nearly 300 pages long and was written by author James Clear, who has done extensive research on habits. Atomic Habits was one of the books that "stormed" at The New York Times when it became a long-term best-seller. The book is divided into chapters. The author's life is told in the beginning. Then there are book chapters on specific topics:
&nbsp;
<div class="ce-block">
<div class="ce-block__content">
<div class="ce-paragraph cdx-block ce-paragraph--left">Chapter 1: Make it Obovious</div>

<div class="ce-block__content">
<div class="ce-paragraph cdx-block ce-paragraph--left">Chapter 4: Make it Satisfying</div>
<div class="ce-paragraph cdx-block ce-paragraph--left">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="ce-paragraph cdx-block ce-paragraph--left">When I read this book, I noticed a difference: the author does not recommend that we emulate the habits of famous billionaires; instead, the book focuses on how to form the habits you want. Furthermore, Atomic Habits not only helps you form and maintain good habits, but it also assists you in eliminating bad habits that are still smoldering in your person. "Small habits make a big difference," we frequently fall into the mindset that great success requires big actions, sometimes thinking of really big things. It's the same as saying I'm exaggerating:))) But this book helps me reflect on the definition of success: the difference is not in the big efforts, but in the small ones that add up over time.</div>
<div class="ce-paragraph cdx-block ce-paragraph--left">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="ce-paragraph cdx-block ce-paragraph--left">It makes no difference how much effort you put in; what matters is that you put in enough effort. Working hard is not impossible; it simply takes longer! Then, if you wait long enough, there will be a point when you look back on the entire process and it seems like nothing, but everything is so different compared to the beginning!</div>
