A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers' sleep anxiety once and for all!

If there's anything worse that not getting sleep, it's lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here's Romiszewski's--a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK's Sleepyhead Clinics -- promise: "This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you'll have regained control - not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts."

THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep -- aka waking up in the middle of the night -- is a killer. It's a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you're doing now is probably better than you think.

Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:
--The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime
--How to trust your body's natural sleep drive and rhythms
--That 'bad' nights neither ruin the next day, nor, necessarily, your health, and that variability is normal
--That sleep isn't fragile--it's adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it
--The myth of 8 hours
--The power of light

For an audience who found Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" a bit daunting, Romiszewski's is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.

Who really gets ahead in a market-based economy.

This book asks the reader a simple question: Is our economy a ladder or a lottery? Are people able to control their position on the economic spectrum by their actions? Some argue that, in our market-based economy, if you play by certain rules and make certain choices, you'll achieve upward mobility no matter what economic position you were born into.

Drawing on his vast economic expertise, Gary A. Hoover explores what this "social contract" requires of its citizens, and what it offers in return. Hoover shows how civil unrest is often directly related to broken society-level promises, exploring protest movements such as Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, the Arab Spring, and student debt forgiveness as case studies. He also predicts where future protests can be expected if results promised are not results delivered.

This insightful and data-driven book tackles challenging issues around income inequality, health care, and artificial intelligence, and ultimately equips readers to answer these pressing questions: Is our social contract a ladder to higher economic standing, accessible to all no matter where they start? Or rather a lottery in which many will buy a ticket but only a few will find success? And how can we best align social promises with our lived economic realities?

Born just one year before the United Nations itself, Ban Ki-moon came of age with the world body. His earliest memories are haunted by the sound of bombs dropping on his Korean village and the sight of fires consuming what remained. The six-year-old boy fled with his family, trudging for miles in mud-soaked shoes, suffering from incessant hunger, and wondering how they would survive--until the United Nations rescued them. Young Ban Ki-moon grew up determined to repay this lifesaving generosity.

Resolved is Ban Ki-moon's personal account of his decade at the helm of the organization during a period of historic turmoil and promise. Meeting challenges and resistance with a belief in the UN's mission of peace, development, and human rights, he steered the United Nations through a volatile period that included the Arab Spring, nuclear pursuits in Iran and North Korea, the Ebola epidemic, and brutal new conflicts in Central Africa. As secretary-general, Ban also forged global agreements to fight extreme poverty and address the climate crisis.

Ban performed what has been called "the most impossible job on this earth" with a genuine belief in collective action and global transformation. Freed from the diplomatic constraints of a lifetime of public service, he offers a candid assessment of the people and events that shape our era and a bracing analysis of what lies ahead.

UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny

Acclaimed author and religious studies scholar D. W. Pasulka uncovers a hidden history of alleged contact between human and nonhuman intelligences--some framed as angels, others as UFOs/UAP--interwoven with the rise of artificial intelligence and the dream of immortality. Pasulka examines the science of life extension and the beliefs of people who have experiences of UFOs. She unveils a hidden architecture of belief and influence--one in which human consciousness is being reimagined and extended.

Pasulka begins the book with a fascinating and unexpected historical origin story. In the early twentieth century, a censured Catholic visionary predicted that humanity would soon encounter a new form of intelligence--one that would appear alien but was something far stranger. By the mid-twentieth century, other Catholic mystics and science fiction visionaries, like Arthur C. Clarke, echoed similar prophecies, naming the twenty-first century as the critical threshold . . . and we are now at that unparalleled point in human history. It's time for The Others.

Drawing on first-person interviews, suppressed histories, and access to insiders in science and tech, The Others explores a startling new terrain: where the sacred meets the synthetic, and where the next phase of human evolution may already be underway.

A cheerful first look-and-point book about the zoo. For toddlers ages 12 months and up, with a focus on the world surrounding the child.

Look! The monkey is eating a banana, the penguins are walking on the ice, and the lion is sound asleep. What else do you see?

What if your ugliest scar could be your greatest asset?

What if your story of struggle could be repurposed into a strategic tool for healing, influence, and impact in this modern world of distraction, disengagement, and division?

New York Times bestselling author, retired Green Beret, and renowned strategic storyteller Scott Mann reveals how sharing your most difficult experiences can forge trust, inspire action, and create lasting change.

You've struggled. You have the scars to prove it. Those scars have something to say that is bigger and more impactful than all the wins and accomplishments you've accumulated. Those scars can reveal a story that the rest of the world needs to hear. You lie there staring at the ceiling at night, knowing you should put that message into the world. If only you could figure out how. If only you could craft and share a story worthy of the emotions pulsing through your veins right now. Then you could change lives. Maybe even save some.

The Generosity of Scars is for anyone who has struggled and wants to put their lived struggle to work in the service of others through authentic storytelling.

This book, the second in his leadership trilogy, is different than most books about crafting stories. It is forged from high-stakes arenas in Scott Mann's three decade body of work, ranging from his time as a Green Beret in combat zones in Afghanistan, to TED stages, to theatrical productions about war, to corporate keynotes, to congressional testimony, to raising millions for non-profits--and all points in between.

There is a growing demand across all industries to reclaim the lost art of storytelling for strategic influence. This book will give you everything you need to design and deliver a powerful scar story that raises your frequency above the Churn for authentic connection that inspires your people, teaches your associates, trains your new managers, persuades prospects and clients, and bridges gaps between you and your audience. When you re-purpose your scars into stories of struggle, you will be more authentic, relatable, and relevant--and that's what people follow.

There is generosity in a scar, if you are willing to pay the price. If so, then read on and change the world.

What separates the greatest athletes from the rest? Coachability.

"This book is for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who understand that growth doesn't happen alone."--Mike Krzyzewski

"A unique, impactful, and long-overdue book that draws on decades of reporting to explain what really distinguishes the great ones."--Sam Walker, author of The Captain Class

"Coachable is rooted in the belief that improvement is a shared journey. I've seen firsthand that the best players--and the best leaders--are the ones who remain teachable."--Kevin Love

Sports analyst Ric Bucher has spent the last three decades surrounded by some of the greatest athletes of our time. Over the years, he became obsessed with the ultimate question in sports and life: Which traits separate the best from the rest? He began asking that question, and the same answer kept coming back again and again from greats like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Diana Taurasi, Brandi Chastain, and Stephen Curry: I was coachable.

Coachable? Yes, coachable. Of all the possible markers that contributed to their greatness, coachability emerged as the surprising X factor. So Bucher set out to explore this often overlooked aspect of the careers of every major athlete he could access and found stories that these stars have never revealed.

Coachable is organized around the 10 Truths of Coachability that every athlete, team leader, manager, coach, and parent needs to know. Each truth is dissected and illuminated through exclusive interviews and stories from legendary coaches like Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr, and Coach K; all-time greats like Stephen Curry and Landon Donovan; the rising stars of tomorrow, like Rose Zhang and Paolo Banchero; and some of the athletes most known for maximizing their talent, like Fred VanVleet and Richard Jefferson. Taken together, the stories and insights in Coachable are a fascinating window into how we can improve at whatever we do.
