A long-forgotten woman on the edge of the Persian Gulf authored the first written story. A teenager in Tennessee defied social norms to embrace the roots of rock 'n roll. An accountant trying to save a struggling factory in post-Mao Beijing. A family in rural Texas whose lives were forever changed by the algorithms of social media: This book shows how ordinary people, good tools, and the human mind combine to make storytelling the most powerful force that shapes our lives and transforms humanity.

Stories, whether they are published to huge audiences or told in intimate conversations, affect our understanding of ourselves. Different technologies have altered and amplified these effects, redistributed the power of storytelling from the few to the many, and driven revolutions throughout human history.

Examples from art, literature, music, and pop culture illustrate a passionate and immensely rewarding exploration of how the way we tell stories change us and our world.

Keynote speaker and leadership strategist Juan Bendaña has spent over a decade researching what it takes to build enduring confidence and developed an evidence-based methodology that helps eliminate fear, relying on a unique cycle of micro-energy, micro-courage, and micro-actions, and ultimately transform your life that is attainable to everyone.

Based on research of over 250,000 leaders at institutions such as Oxford University, Penn State and the University of Toronto and Fortune 500 companies such as Disney, American Express and Zillow, this science-backed framework helps individuals and organizations turn today's barriers into tomorrow's breakthroughs.

The key to THE CONFIDENCE CYCLE is that it's focused on micro moments -saying hi to a stranger, asking a question at a meeting--rather than giving a speech in front of 100 people or becoming a team lead.

This system magnifies the power of these tiny wins, transforming micro-actions into a vote of confidence that levels you up step by step until you build unshakable courage. The author uses humor, engaging stories and proven strategies to help the reader feel energized & inspired, and provides them with the confidence tools to thrive in work and life.

Juan Bendaña is a renowned speaker who, each year, delivers electrifying keynotes at national conferences and organization-wide training events. Juan has led confidence workshops for Sotheby's International, Penn State, Sony Pictures, Disney, and hundreds of others major corporations. He is the creator of the Confidence Cycle framework for lasting self-confidence. "Juan's speaking style was full of fresh energy and enthusiasm that reinvigorated our burnt-out organization. His message helped us refocus and provided tangible takeaways that were valuable for everyone. As a manager, I appreciated the peace of mind his contribution gave me." Kim Penny, Managing Broker, Sotheby's.

After the fall of France in June 1940, Britain was the only European country left to resist Hitler. Desperate for allies, Winston Churchill did everything he could to woo the United States to join the war on Britain's side, to drive the Soviet Union and Germany apart, and to influence neutral countries to join the fight against Hitler or at least stay out of the conflict.

By the end of 1941, after the German invasion of Russia and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Grand Alliance was in place. But the 'Big Three' Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were uneasy bedfellows and their partnership was soon plagued by mistrust, rivalry and deceit. Conflicts opened not just over strategy but over the post-war order the extent of the United States' global influence, the fate of Britain's empire, and whether the Soviet Union would extend its territorial ambitions to eastern Europe. The seeds of the Cold War were sown while the bloody battles in Europe and the Pacific still raged.

Drawing on many new sources, Tim Bouverie tells the dramatic story through the eyes and voices of the key players: politicians and diplomats, journalists and spies. And while the 'Big Three' naturally take centre stage, we also meet the Free French, Chinese nationalists and Yugoslav partisans.

Tim Bouverie read history at Christ Church, Oxford. From 2013-2017 he was a political journalist at Channel 4 News, where he worked alongside Michael Crick, as his producer, and covered all major political events, including both the 2015 and 2017 General Elections and the EU Referendum. He regularly reviews history and politics books, and has written for the Spectator, Observer and Daily Telegraph. He has also for the last five years worked at the Chalke Valley History Festival as an interviewer.

Virtually everything that has happened in your life -good, bad, happy, sad- was influenced by how you dealt with your emotions. In your most challenging moments, how did you respond? What stories did you tell about yourself, and how did your reactions affect others?

The way we handle our emotions is not a fixed part of ourselves, but a skill that can be learned and mastered.

This book provides a set of practical, evidence-based strategies and techniques to help readers regain control of their lives. At the heart of its message is acceptance: there is no such thing as a bad emotion, only ones you don't understand and don't yet know how to re-direct in positive, intentional ways.

We all have the power to decide how we respond to what life throws at us. By regulating our emotions we can increase our chances of achieving success in all facets of our lives. This book helps its readers to become the best version of themselves.

Brian takes in Two-Step, and more injured birds, transforming his home into a mad rehabilitation and rescue center for birds. As Brian and Two-Step grow closer, an unexpected kinship forms. But their paths won't converge forever: as Two-Step heals and finds love, Brian's condition worsens, and with his friend's release back into the world looming closer, Brian must decide where this story leaves him.

Brian is unable to read or write due to a never-ending headache. He dictates the story of his long life as an adventurer, an iconoclastic university instructor, and an endurance athlete through his relationship with a pigeon that defines his present. An editor channels the details of his personal history to the pages.

Raw, perceptive, and devastating, this is an exploration of chronic illness, grief, connection, and the humble beauty of nature.

Coates originally set off to write a book about writing, but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how reporting and imaginative narratives expose and distort realities.

The first of the book's three essays is set in Dakar, Senegal. Coates roams the "steampunk" city of "old traditions and new machinery". He feels as if he's in two places at once: a modern city in Senegal and a mythic kingdom in his mind, the pan-African homeland he was raised to believe was the origin and destiny for all black people.

In Columbia, South Carolina, he explores a different mythology, this one enforced on its subjects by the state. A teacher's job is threatened for teaching one of Coates's books. A community of mostly white supporters is transformed and radicalized by the stories they discovered in the "racial reckoning" of 2020 in a capital of the confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over the its public squares.

In Palestine, Coates discovers the devastating gap between the narratives we've accepted and the clashing reality of life on the ground. He meets with activists and dissidents, Israelis and Palestinians - the old, who remember their dispossessions, and the young who have only known struggle and disillusionment. In Jerusalem, the heart of Zionist mythology, and in the occupied territories, he sees the reality behind the myth. It is this hidden story that profoundly changes him. It makes the war that would soon come all the more devastating.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is the author of THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE, WE WERE EIGHT YEARS IN POWER, and BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, which won the National Book Award in 2015. He is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. His debut novel, THE WATER DANCER, was a bestseller.

There is much to feel negative about when it comes to mental health, but Dr. Conti represents a paradigm-shifting optimism on the subject.

Instead of using the DSM-5 to label patients with disorders that don't neatly apply to most people, Dr. Conti bucks convention by focusing his approach not on what is going wrong with our mental health, but rather what is going right.

Inside each one of us is a powerful drive for mental health. Dr. Conti refers to this drive as the "generative drive." It is our pursuit of peace and contentment. You can never have too much peace, and you can never have too much contentment. In our busy, high-performing lives, we often find ourselves disconnected from this generative drive and overfocused on two competing drives: a drive for pleasure and aggression. A toxic pursuit of pleasure can look like drinking too much or making bad decisions. An overly assertive aggression drive can turn to negative self-talk that leads to anxiety and shame, or an inability to get along with others that lead to loneliness.

Dr. Conti offers readers a proven off-ramp from these toxic pursuits of pleasure and aggression and an on-ramp toward a joyful life reconnected to their generative drive. He gives readers the emotional power and agency to reach their fullest potential without burning out. His unique and proven approach bolsters the outcomes of traditional medicines and therapeutic practices.

Dr. Conti's increasingly influential network, decades of experience in the field, and the success of the podcast series all point to a bestselling book with a fresh take on happiness and mental health for men and women. Think Gabor Mate meets 10% Happier for the Peter Attia audience.

Recently, Dr. Conti co-hosted an incredibly popular four-part podcast series with Andrew Huberman, Tools and Protocols for Mental Health, which received over 25 million views/listens and was one of the podcast's most popular productions of 2023. That series serves as the basis of WHAT'S GOING RIGHT, which builds on Dr. Conti's decades of practical experience and his unique approach to the three 'drives' that shape our emotional lives to offer readers a proven approach to regaining balance, joy, and agency over their emotional lives.

Dr. Paul Conti is a renowned psychiatrist who graduated from Stanford's School of Medicine and completed his residency at Harvard. In his private practice, Dr. Conti works with celebrity clients and is a go-to expert for top podcasters including Dr. Peter Attia, Mel Robbins, and Dr. Andrew Huberman.

If you're among those who've tried therapy and meditation but wonder why you still suffer repetitive patterns and emotions, Outshining Trauma is for you.

De La Rosa places the innovative, evidence-based model of IFS in the context of Buddhist meditation to show that the process of healing trauma can lead you to your deepest spiritual nature.

This book offers clear conceptual frameworks to understand trauma, post-traumatic growth, and the close relationship between healing trauma and spirituality. The many journal prompts, experiential practices, and guided meditations will teach you how to:

• See that your mind is made up of disparate "parts" that carry their own views and intentions which can become stuck in traumatic experiences;

• Recognize common types of inner parts in the IFS model, such as "Managers," "Firefighters," and "Exiles";

• Separate from a part inside of you that's holding grief, pain, or other difficult feelings and then elicit its concerns and wisdom;

• Utilize meditation as a method for opening to transformative self-compassion and self-love.

This deciding 1937 Davis Cup match, played on the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon, was a battle of titans: the world's number one tennis player against the number two; America against Germany; democracy against fascism. For five superhuman sets, the duo's brilliant shotmaking kept the Centre Court crowd - and the world - spellbound.

The match's significance extended well beyond the immaculate grass courts of Wimbledon. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the brink of World War II, one man played for the pride of his country while the other played for his life: Budge, the humble hard-working American who would soon become the first to win all four Grand Slam titles in the same year, vied to keep the Davis Cup out of the hands of the Nazi regime. On the other side of the net, the immensely popular and elegant von Cramm fought Budge point for point knowing that a loss might precipitate his descent into the living hell being constructed behind barbed wire back home.

Born into an aristocratic family, von Cramm was admired for his devastating good looks as well as his unparalleled sportsmanship. But he harbored a dark secret, one that put him under increasing Gestapo surveillance. And his situation was made even more perilous by his refusal to join the Nazi Party or defend Hitler. Desperately relying on his athletic achievements and the global spotlight to keep him out of the Gestapo's clutches, his strategy was to keep traveling and keep winning. A Davis Cup victory would make him the toast of Germany. A loss might be catastrophic.

Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, and other neurological disorders are not only preventable, but even reversable via lifestyle interventions - you can be smarter, quicker, and clearer tomorrow than you are today; an idea that goes against decades of conventional wisdom.

In their research, Majid Fotuhi and his team created personalized, non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical brain rehabilitation programs for each patient, consisting of lifestyle changes, brain challenges, and do-it-yourself biofeedback techniques.

THE INVINCIBLE BRAIN will show readers how a simple regimen of sleep habits, diet, stress reduction techniques, and brain games and exercises (personalized for the reader based on their specific needs and including memory exercises and tricks, video games, and puzzles) can prevent and reverse cognitive decline and other neurological and psychiatric conditions, as well as improve sharpness and intelligence. Dr. Fotuhi will explain what Alzheimer's disease and dementia really are, how they have been miscategorized by science for decades, and why the latest drugs proposed by modern medicine will never be as successful as these basic interventions that promote neuroplasticity and can truly bring about lifechanging results.

Dr. Majid Fotuhi received his academic degrees from Harvard Medical School, and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins's Mind/Brain Institute, an adjunct professor at George Washington University, and the medical director of NeuroGrow Brain Fitness Center.

In a world obsessed with squeezing the most out of every moment, the fear of falling behind can trap us in a paralyzing stress cycle. Incomplete to-do lists, unanswered emails, and unmet life goals haunt our thoughts, leaving us overstimulated and exhausted.

In TIME ANXIETY, Chris Guillebeau, author of the popular newsletter "A Year of Mental Health", reveals that this pervasive sense of time scarcity stems not from a lack of hours in the day but from unrealistic expectations and misaligned priorities. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive functioning challenges, and the psychological roots of avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.

The first step is to build a tolerance for incomplete to-do lists and the inevitability of disappointing people, abandoning the goal of "catching up." We have to set our own limits because no one else will. Ultimately, TIME ANXIETY is a call to wake up from the trance of busyness and reclaim our most precious resource. By breaking the habits of overstressing, overdoing, and underliving, we can start savoring our limited time on earth.

Chris Guillebeau is the New York Times bestselling author of THE $100 STARTUP, SIDE HUSTLE, and THE HAPPINESS OF PURSUIT, among other books, which have sold over one million copies worldwide. During a lifetime of self-employment that included a four-year commitment as a volunteer executive in West Africa, he visited every country in the world (193 in total) before his thirty-fifth birthday.

Our modern societal understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother beyond emotional rollercoasters and healing her pelvic floor largely remains uncharted territory. The transition to motherhood takes two to three years, not six weeks or three months, as we've been led to believe.

Jessie Harrold introduces her "map for your becoming," a research-based, four-phase model that maps out how the transition to motherhood unfolds and helps women navigate every step along the way. She has used this model to guide thousands of women through the shift into motherhood. Harrold also includes self-inquiry questions, journal prompts, rituals, and nature-based experiences and exercises in each chapter to help women identify and thrive amidst the cascade of changes they can expect as they enter motherhood. Topics include:

• Normalizing the feelings of grief and loss of self you may feel along the way;

• Navigating the discomfort of not knowing who you are anymore now that you're a mother;

• Guiding you to cultivate a sense of empowerment and leadership in motherhood, showing you how mothering is a counterculture act;

• Showing you how to use the "superpowers" that motherhood offers: self-tending, creativity, embodiment, ritual, community, inner knowing, and earth connection to become powerful change agents in a world that desperately needs mothering;

• Gently guiding you to explore who you are becoming; and much more.

JESSIE HARROLD draws from her background as a doula, a life coach and mentor, a practitioner of yoga and reiki, and an herbalist and in eco-psychology, neuroscience, wilderness guidance, leadership, and therapyto support women through the transition to motherhood. She created the internationally acclaimed program for new mothers, called MOTHERSHIFT, and its sister program for postpartum professionals, THE VIILLAGE.

In late 31 AD, after the Roman senators murdered Lucius Sejanus, the Roman Emperor Tiberius's closest confidant, the Empire was forever changed. If Sejanus had not been murdered, Jesus would have never been crucified.

This is the first book to make this crucial connection, which leans heavily to prove that the New Testament narrative is mostly myth and challenges years of historical orthodoxy. THE YEAR GOD DIED contradicts longstanding historical malpractice to reveal the most comprehensive and accurate view of the New Testament.

Lacey explains how the events in Rome drove events in Judea, directly linked to Jesus' crucifixion. He uncovers a vibrant and rich world, but one still coming to grips with the reality of Roman power. He introduces ten-year-old Boadicea, destined to lead Britain's tribes in a great revolt against Rome. Furthermore, he depicts Varus marching his legions past a four-year-old Jesus on his war to Jerusalem. He describes how Herod prospers by appeasing some of the most dangerous people in history - Pompey, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, and Augustus.

Dr. James Lacey is a professor of strategy at the Marine Corps War College. He also holds the Horner Chair of War Studies at Marine Corps University. Before taking this position, he was a widely published senior analyst at the Institute for Defense Analyses in Washington, D.C. His previous works include ROME: A Strategy for Empire, MOMENT OF BATTLE, THE FIRST CLASH (a New York Times Bestseller), GREAT STRATEGIC RIVALRIES, GODS OF WAR, and THE WASHINGTON WAR. Lacey was inspired to write this book when researching the Roman Empire for his previous work, ROME: Strategy of Empire.

Corporate scandals are narrated like Hollywood movies: the villains are the once-celebrated CEOs who are unmasked as sociopaths and ultimately convicted. However, we don't realize that average people do most bad things with honorable values and no bad intentions.

Guido Palazzo and Ulrich Hoffrage, both based in Switzerland, are experts in their field and are responsible for developing and coining the term "ethical blindness,"a temporary state in which people are unable to recognize the ethical implications of their actions.

In THE DARK PATTERN, two experts in business ethics and decision-making challenge the conventional view that corporate misconduct happens because of a handful of bad actors. Instead, the book shows how organizations can fall off the moral cliff because a few good people become ethically blind.

Drawing on the latest insights from behavioral science, the authors identify nine toxic elements that lead to corporate scandals and offer nine actionable lessons for building morally resilient organizations. THE DARK PATTERN will strengthen tomorrow's leaders' awareness, defenses, and responses against the subtle dynamics of moral erosion.

Guido Palazzo is a consultant and professor of business ethics at the University of Lausanne and a business adviser in Switzerland. He is a highly cited business ethics scholar. His work has been published in leading management journals such as the Academy of Management Review and the Academy of Management Journal. He obtained a PhD in philosophy from the University of Marburg.

Ulrich Hoffrage is a professor of decision theory at the University of Lausanne. He is a highly cited psychologist who builds and tests bounded rationality models to better understand how people decide and navigate in a social world characterized by risk and uncertainty. He earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Salzburg.

The last four years have pushed the hidden impacts of ADHD from the shadows to the light. Horrifyingly arbitrary metrics for diagnosis were exposed, which forced a reckoning of the personal devastation of untreated and unexamined ADHD on individuals, families, schools, and communities.

Individuals with ADHD have reduced estimated lifespans (by more than a decade on average), are more likely to suffer from a serious health problem, drop out of school, be fired from a job, live under the poverty line, have poor hygiene, abuse drugs, and alcohol, and commit suicide. Every day is consistently inconsistent, and because the treatment that accounts for the full picture of symptoms is so hard to find, the mind becomes an unreliable narrator of who they are, what they want, and what they can accomplish. As Dr. Russell Ramsay writes in his introduction, "Attention and hyperactivity are only the tip of the iceberg."

Presenting his paradigm-shifting approach to treatment and the executive function dysfunction, self-mistrust, emotional dysregulation, and shame, blame, and guilt that often force those with ADHD to shrink from the world, UNRELIABLE is a revolutionary "inside out" approach that promises to guide those who suffer out of the daily chaos and into a life of sustainable delight.

Dr. Russell Ramsay is the co-founder and former co-director of the Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. A globally recognized leader and practicing clinical psychologist with over twenty-five years of experience recognizing and treating ADHD, Dr. Ramsay's first trade book utilizes the latest research to confront the overlooked, hidden devastations of ADHD affecting many millions of individuals and reveals his evidence-based, patient-approved program to transform lives.

Hypervigilance: When we reflexively monitor moods, scan faces for danger and disappointment, adjust ourselves to fit others' expectations, and anticipate other people's emotions and behaviors, all while feeling overworked, lonely, inadequate, ashamed, fearful, and exhausted in the process.

The result of prolonged relational stress stemming from a childhood with an unpredictable, boundaryless, or dismissive parent, hypervigilance is a day-to-day struggle which can often feel so "baked into" a person's identity that the patterns over-thinking, over-observing, and over-anticipating present as exhausting personality traits rather than what they are a coping mechanism and a trauma response.

Hypervigilance co-opts a person's entire internal wiring. It clouds our decision-making. We become stuck in bad jobs, in wounding relationships, in cycles of anxiety and worry, and recreating the lonely yet high-stakes environment we were desperate to escape as children.

Using her own story, case studies and the latest research, Dr. Sage presents a groundbreaking alternative to chronic vigilance and a plan for confronting the past to finally heal.

Dr. Kim Sage holds a doctorate and a master's degree in clinical psychology and has helped thousands of children and adults heal and address psychological issues like anxiety, ADHD, complex trauma, depression, and PTSD. She has trauma-informed training, including EMDR, and advanced training in childhood trauma, adult attachment, anxiety, mindfulness, and relationships. She has a deep commitment to neurodivergence and helping female patients understand high-masking autism that might have been misdiagnosed or missed by doctors. She has four children and lives in Southern California.

Vora reveals how our intuition is the wisest guide to healing and offers practical advice for how we can tap into our innate "magic," showing how we can learn to listen to the voice inside to find greater peace and wellbeing.

Through personal anecdotes, client case studies and wider cultural examples, she breaks down the main causes of why we've lost touch with our intuition: modern medicine, food and drugs, the wellness industrial complex, the feminine need to be liked, and more. And she provides examples of how we can get back in touch with our intuition so that we can begin to heal.

Ellen Vora, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She graduated from Columbia University Medical School and received her B.A. from Yale University in English.
