Unreasonable Success and How to Achieve It: Unlocking the Nine Secrets of People Who Changed the World
by Richard KochHow do people of seemingly ordinary talent go on to achieve unexpected results? What can we learn from them? What are the ingredients for unreasonable success and how is it achieved?In this ground-breaking book, bestselling author Richard Koch charts a map of success, identifying the nine key attitudes and strategies can propel anyone to new heights of accomplishment.The pattern of success is fractal. It is endlessly varied but endlessly similar. Success does not require genius, consistency, all-round ability, a safe pair of hands or even basic competence. If it did, most of the people in this book would not have impacted the world as they did.Who could have predicted that Nelson Mandela, a once-obscure lawyer, could have averted disaster in South Africa, reconciling people of different heritages to each other and establishing a viable democracy? Or that Helena Rubinstein, a young woman growing up in the grotty ghetto of Kraków, could have changed the face of beauty throughout the world? Or that the illegitimate son of a notary would become one of the world's greatest painters, known universally by his first name, Leonardo?Successful people typically don't plan their success. Instead they develop a unique philosophy or attitude that works for them. They stumble across strategies which are shortcuts to success, and latch onto them. Events hand them opportunities they could not have anticipated. Often their peers with equal or greater talent fail while they succeed. It is too easy to attribute success to inherent, unstoppable genius.With this book, you can embark on a journey towards a new, unreasonably successful future.
Unreliable Narrator: Me, Myself, and Impostor Syndrome
by Aparna Nancherla&“A deeply honest and funny look at how exhausting it can be to live a human life, Unreliable Narrator is a book for anyone who wants to laugh and feel less alone.&”—Amy Poehler A hilarious and insightful collection of essays exploring impostor syndrome, from the inside and out, by the most successful fraud in comedyAparna Nancherla is a superstar comedian on the rise—a darling of Netflix and Comedy Central&’s comedy special lineups, a headliner at comedy shows and music festivals, a frequenter of late night television and the subject of numerous profiles. She&’s also a successful actor who has written a barrage of thoughtful essays published by the likes of the New York Times. If you ask her, though, she&’s a total fraud. She&’d hate to admit it, but no one does impostor syndrome quite like Aparna Nancherla.UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is a collection of essays that uses Aparna&’s signature humor to illuminate an interior life, one constantly bossed around by her depression (whom she calls Brenda), laced with anxiety like a horror movie full of jump-scares, and plagued by an unrepenting love-hate relationship with her career as a painfully shy standup comedian. But luckily, crippling self-doubt comes with the gift of keen self-examination. These essays deliver hilarious and incredibly insightful meditations on body image, productivity culture, the ultra-meme-ability of mental health language, and who, exactly, gets to make art &“about nothing.&” Despite her own arguments to the contrary, UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is undeniable proof that Aparna is a force—as a comedian and author alike—to be reckoned with.
Unrequited: The Thinking Woman's Guide to Romantic Obsession
by Lisa A. PhillipsThe summer Lisa A. Phillips turned thirty, she fell in love with someone who didn’t return her feelings. She became obsessed, following him around, calling him compulsively, and talking about him endlessly. One desperate morning, after she snuck into his apartment building, he picked up a baseball bat to protect himself and threatened to dial 911. Her unrequited love had changed her from a sane, conscientious college teacher and radio reporter into someone she barely recognized—someone who had taken her yearning much too far.In Unrequited, Phillips explores the tremendous force of obsessive love in women’s lives. She argues that it needs to be understood, respected, and channeled for personal growth—yet it also has the potential to go terribly awry. Interweaving her own story with frank interviews and in-depth research in science, psychology, cultural history, and literature, Phillips describes how romantic obsession takes root, grows, and strongly influences our thoughts and behaviors.Going beyond images of creepy, fatally attracted psychos, male fantasies of unbridled female desire, and the platitudes of self-help books, Phillips offers compelling insights to help any woman who has experienced unrequited obsessive love and been mystified and troubled by its grip.“An ingenious hybrid of memoir, case study, scientific inquiry, and intellectual history not only of unrequited love but of Love, full stop, with a capital L.”—Washington Post“There is no cure for the pain of rejection, although researchers are working on it. Until then, Phillips suggests we ‘honor passion by confining and using it instead of letting it diminish us.’”—Chicago Tribune
Unsatisfied: Finding Contentment in a Discontented World
by Ann C. SullivanYou should be happy, like everyone else (it seems). But you feel so unsatisfied and unhappy. Maybe because we are in an epic battle to find contentment in a culture that’s defined by Snapchat and Instagram. Maybe we need permission to feel imperfect. In Unsatisfied Ann C. Sullivan shoots from the hip, with contagious writing and an honest approach. She sorts through the reasons for our frustrations by connecting the dots that lead to genuine contentment. Unsatisfied dares to wonder where God is when life doesn’t go exactly as planned. And it dares you to believe that He is closer than you think.
Unseen City: The Majesty of Pigeons, the Discreet Charm of Snails & Other Wonders of the Urba n Wilderness
by Nathanael JohnsonIt all started with Nathanael Johnson’s decision to teach his daughter the name of every tree they passed on their walk to day care in San Francisco. This project turned into a quest to discover the secrets of the neighborhood’s flora and fauna, and yielded more than names and trivia: Johnson developed a relationship with his nonhuman neighbors.Johnson argues that learning to see the world afresh, like a child, shifts the way we think about nature: Instead of something distant and abstract, nature becomes real—all at once comical, annoying, and beautiful. This shift can add tremendous value to our lives, and it might just be the first step in saving the world.No matter where we live—city, country, oceanside, or mountains—there are wonders that we walk past every day. Unseen City widens the pinhole of our perspective by allowing us to view the world from the high-altitude eyes of a turkey vulture and the distinctly low-altitude eyes of a snail. The narrative allows us to eavesdrop on the comically frenetic life of a squirrel and peer deep into the past with a ginkgo biloba tree. Each of these organisms has something unique to tell us about our neighborhoods and, chapter by chapter, Unseen City takes us on a journey that is part nature lesson and part love letter to the world’s urban jungles. With the right perspective, a walk to the subway can be every bit as entrancing as a walk through a national park.

The Unspeakable Loss: How Do You Live After a Child Dies?
by Nisha ZenoffA guide to hope and healing after the death of a child, from a grief counselor and psychotherapist who has been there.Nisha Zenoff lost her son in a tragic accident when he was just seventeen years old. Now, with decades of experience as a grief counselor and psychotherapist, she offers support and guidance from her own journey and from others who have experienced the death of a child. The Unspeakable Loss helps those who mourn to face the urgent questions that accompany loss: "Will my tears ever stop?" "Who am I now without my child?" "How can I help my other children cope?" "I lost my only child, how do I live?" "Will my marriage survive?" "Will life ever feel worth living again?"No matter where you are in your grieving process, The Unspeakable Loss provides a space to mourn in your own way, and helps you understand how the death of a child affects siblings, other family members and friends, recognizing that we each grieve differently. And while there is no one prescription for healing, Zenoff provides tools to practice the important aspects of grieving that are easily forgotten--self-compassion and self-care.The Unspeakable Loss doesn't flinch from the reality or pain caused by the death of a child, yet ultimately it is a book about the choice to embrace life, love, and joy again. As Zenoff writes in the Preface: "Our relationships with our children do not end with their deaths. Our relationships change, they're transformed, but our children will always be with us."
The Unspeakable Mind: Stories of Trauma and Healing from the Frontlines of PTSD Science
by Shaili Jain“An absorbing and comprehensive account of one of the scourges of our modern age. Anyone suffering from PTSD—or their loved ones—should read this book.” —Sandeep Jauhar, M.D., New York Times–bestselling author of My Father’s BrainThe Unspeakable Mind is the definitive guide for a trauma-burdened age. In these pages, VA psychiatrist, Stanford professor, and prominent trauma scientist Shaili Jain, M.D. shines a long-overdue light on the PTSD epidemic affecting today’s fractured world.Dr. Jain’s groundbreaking work demonstrates the ways this disorder cuts to the heart of life, interfering with one’s capacity to love, create, and work—incapacity brought on by a complex interplay between biology, genetics, and environment. Beyond the struggles of individuals, PTSD has a tangible imprint on cultures and societies around the world.In the twenty-first century, there has been enormous growth in the science of PTSD, a body of evidence that continues to grow exponentially. With this new knowledge have come dramatic advances in effective treatment. Jain draws on a decade of her own clinical innovation and research to argue for a paradigm shift in how PTSD should be approached, and highlights the ways care is being transformed to make it more accessible, acceptable, and available to sufferers. By identifying those most vulnerable to developing PTSD, cutting-edge medical interventions that hold the promise of preventing its onset are becoming more of a reality than ever before.Combining vividly recounted patient stories, interviews with some of the world’s top trauma scientists, and her professional experience on the frontlines, The Unspeakable Mind offers a textured portrait of this invisible illness unrivaled in scope, laying bare PTSD’s roots, inner workings, and paths to healing. It is essential reading for understanding how humans can recover from unspeakable trauma and stands as the definitive guide to PTSD, offering new hope to sufferers, their loved ones, and health care providers.“[A] comprehensive survey of the state of knowledge concerning PTSD. . . . Jain carefully lays out what can be said with confidence about [PTSD] . . . and what is more speculative . . . Given epidemic anxiety and stress disorders, this is a timely book that will greatly interest those who suffer from [PTSD] as well as family members and medical practitioners.” —Kirkus Reviews“An engrossing read.” —Irvin Yalom, M.D., Emeritus professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University and bestselling author of The Gift of Therapy“A thoroughly engaging book about the hardest parts of life presented gently, beautifully, insightfully, and with wisdom.” —Edward Hallowell, M.D., New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Driven to Distraction
