On an alien planet, a Terran is trying to sleep off his drunk. But, there's too much shouting going on. He might have been able to ignore it if a Terran word hadn't been repeated time and again - Sarah. As far as this gambler knew, he was the only one from off-world on this Planet. Sure, they were capable of space travel, but none of them ever left. And, nobody, except him, ever came here. Well, he'd better go see what all of this racket was about. He'd regret it in the end. He'd end up being being her lowly assistant.

NAMED ONE OF THE 40 BEST BOOKS OF 2016 BY THE NEW YORK POST A New York Times Editor's Choice pick “Ruth Whippman is my new favorite cultural critic...a shrewd, hilarious analysis.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B (coauthored with Sheryl Sandberg) "I don't think I've enjoyed cultural observations this much since David Foster Wallace's A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. Reading this book is like touring America with a scary-smart friend who can't stop elbowing you in the ribs and saying, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?!" If you want to understand why our culture incites pure dread and alienation in so many of us (often without always recognizing it), read this book." —Heather Havrilesky, writer behind "Ask Polly" for New York Magazine and nationally bestselling author of How to Be a Person in the World Are you happy? Right now? Happy enough? As happy as everyone else? Could you be happier if you tried harder? After she packed up her British worldview (that most things were basically rubbish) and moved to America, journalist and documentary filmmaker Ruth Whippman found herself increasingly perplexed by the American obsession with one topic above all others: happiness. The subject came up everywhere: at the playground swings, at the meat counter in the supermarket, and even—legs in stirrups—at the gynecologist. The omnipresence of these happiness conversations (trading tips, humble-bragging successes, offering unsolicited advice) wouldn’t let her go, and so Ruth did some digging. What she found was a paradox: despite the fact that Americans spend more time and money in search of happiness than any other nation on earth, research shows that the United States is one of the least contented, most anxious countries in the developed world. Stoked by a multi-billion dollar “happiness industrial complex” intent on selling the promise of bliss, America appeared to be driving itself crazy in pursuit of contentment. So Ruth set out to get to the bottom of this contradiction, embarking on an uproarious pilgrimage to investigate how this national obsession infiltrates all areas of life, from religion to parenting, the workplace to academia. She attends a controversial self-help course that promises total transformation, where she learns all her problems are all her own fault; visits a “happiness city” in the Nevada desert and explores why it has one of the highest suicide rates in America; delves into the darker truths behind the influential academic “positive psychology movement”; and ventures to Utah to spend time with the Mormons, officially America’s happiest people. What she finds, ultimately, and presents in America the Anxious, is a rigorously researched yet universal answer, and one that comes absolutely free of charge.

Literature suffers from appearing both deceptively easy and dauntingly difficult. We all like to think we can read a novel and understand what 'genre', 'style' and 'narrative' mean, but do we really understand them fully and how they can enrich our reading experience? How should we approach the works of great writers such as William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen? 50 Literature Ideas you Really Need to Know provides a clear, opinionated and thorough overview of literary theories from the apparently familiar to the decidedly unfamiliar. Packed with insights and examples from both classic and popular works, it is a book that will delight anyone who has ever been mystified by literary jargon and wants to gain a deeper enjoyment of reading and writing.

Life is a mess. A beautifully chaotic, utterly nonsensical mess. In Brutally Human: The Paradox of Existence, Ricky Firman gleefully explores the delicious contradictions that make us human, using biting irony to expose the absurdity of our attempts to "figure it all out." From the freedom that promises liberation but leaves us paralyzed with choice, to the endless pursuit of happiness that only makes us more miserable, Ricky deconstructs the myth of "having it together." Want happiness? Too bad—because the harder you chase it, the more it evades you. Control? Sure, but good luck planning anything in a world that laughs in your face at every turn. Ricky’s stories—like a mindfulness retreat that caused more anxiety than calm, or a perfectly planned vacation that unraveled into pure chaos—prove that life doesn’t follow the scripts we write. The book doesn’t stop at personal paradoxes; it dives into society’s most ironic delusions. Unity through division? Check. Society thrives on finding common ground... by hating the same people. Technology that connects us? More like technology that isolates us in shiny, pixelated prison cells. We’re living in the Information Age, yet we’re somehow more ignorant than ever, scrolling through social media like it’s the holy grail of truth, while missing the real news. Wellness culture? It turns self-care into a competitive sport, proving that even rest has been commodified. Each chapter offers a brutally honest—and often darkly funny—look at everything from the myths of work-life balance to the failure of “dream jobs.” Family? The ones who love you most are also the ones who’ll leave you questioning your sanity. Friendships? They’ll save you—but also roast you relentlessly. And don’t even get started on modern health and wellness, which somehow makes us feel worse about ourselves while claiming to “fix” us. Brutally Human: The Paradox of Existence doesn’t offer easy solutions—because life is a chaotic disaster that can’t be fixed. Instead, it invites you to laugh at the absurdity, embrace the contradictions, and stop pretending that there’s a perfect way to live. Because, spoiler alert: there isn’t. So, let’s stop trying to solve life’s mess and start enjoying the chaos. After all, the only thing we can be sure of is that life will surprise us, disappoint us, and laugh at our expense—so we might as well laugh along.

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel… No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview. When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey. He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person. That night, I got a call offering me the job. So began my complicated story with Tristan. Millions of women loved him. Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me. Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room. I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman. Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection. But I had a secret. One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour. And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

A Nigerian psychologist travels to a remote southern border town to uncover the truth about the murder of three university students in this "original and fast-paced thriller" (Lauren Wilkinson, author of American Spy). When Dr. Philip Taiwo is called on by a powerful Nigerian politician to investigate the public torture and murder of three university students in remote Port Harcourt, he has no idea that he’s about to be enveloped by a perilous case that is far from cold. Philip is not a detective. He’s an investigative psychologist, an academic more interested in figuring out the why of a crime than actually solving it. But when he steps off the plane and into the dizzying frenzy of the provincial airport, he soon realizes that the murder of the Okriki Three isn’t as straightforward as he thought. With the help of his loyal and streetwise personal driver, Chika, Philip must work against those actively conspiring against him to parse together the truth of what happened to these students. A thrilling and atmospheric mystery, and an unforgettable portrait of the contemporary Nigerian sociopolitical landscape, Lightseekers is a wrenching novel tackling the porousness between the first and third worlds, the enduring strength of tribalism and homeland identity, and the human need for connection in the face of isolation.

The aftermath of the Battle of Agnipur has set the sun completely on the lives of The King’s Nine. As Kalith’s search for his lost father continues, the nine gifted warriors are dealing with the recent murder of their mentor and adjusting to their new frivolous yet hectic lives in the palace, while trying to maintain their sanity against being constantly judged as freaks, paraded around like circus-men and derided for being the new king’s First Men in an unstable post-war kingdom. As The Nine try to find their foothold, while trying to stick together and survive as a team, a blood-curdling note from the forgotten past leads them into the musky cages of the snake infested land of the Vish Kanyas - the Village of Darkness. The Nine face their biggest nightmare yet as they encounter the nerve-wracking and enigmatic Black Princess and her pet Turbans, while trying to decipher the gruesome, twisted truth behind the macabre racket. An abduction of one of their own takes them into invading the cursed land of Ubhakrat, where accompanied by a valorous navigator with a vendetta of his own, The Nine finally stumble upon their ultimate fate - the reckoning of Tiyasa’s malediction. Choking on the prophecy that mind numbingly wove everything together and battling the twisted monsters unleashed by this strange land, The Nine ultimately step up to meet their nemesis - indestructibly powerful, brilliantly all calculating and paramount super villains - the Triad.
