From a doctor and barrier¿breaking reality TV star on Bravo's Real Housewives, Joy Prescriptions is an inspiring story featuring hard-earned lessons about overcoming personal and professional challenges to find your true self. Tiffany Moon, M.D. is an anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, social media personality, and former cast member of Bravo's Real Housewives of Dallas. In Joy Prescriptions, she offers a part-memoir, part-self-help guide to stop chasing perfection and embrace gratitude and connection.As Tiffany explains, despite being a lifelong overachiever with a thriving career, she had a gorgeous home that she barely enjoyed. She had a closet full of nice things she bought to soothe herself, but she didn't feel soothed. She had a beautiful family that she didn't spend enough time with. She felt simultaneously grateful and stuck, successful but disappointed, happy but weary.Joy Prescriptions relates Tiffany's journey as a Chinese immigrant breaking through the expectations of being a perfectionist and building a new way of life based on laughter and the idea that true happiness is only possible when we let go of what other people want for us and live according to our own values. Her lessons include:Compare and Contrast: Competition can be healthy if it motivates you to do better, strive for greater goals, or try something new. But if you find that you're constantly caught up in the compare-and-despair cycle, avoid comparing other people's outside to your inside.Yes Woman: Sometimes as much as you try, some relationships aren't meant to be. Remember that you don't have to be friends with everyone you meet.Joy Interrupted: Choose joy in the present day overreaching for some unattainable goal in the far future.If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry: Everyone is going through their own problems. But what brings us together, what creates connection, is being able to laugh at ourselves together. Laughter is truly the best medicine and should be a part of any prescription to finding joy in life.It took a great deal of soul searching before Tiffany reached the conclusion that she needed to break out of the "good girl" mold and live for herself so that she could be completely present for others. Joy Prescriptions will inspire other women-particularly those who feel constrained by the defined roles and expectations of others-to find the courage to take on new challenges and explore who they really are.

The Pursuit is Plan Z is the unlikely origin story of the intelligence coup that led to the largest naval battle in history, in World War II's Pacific Theater, resulting in the most crushing defeat the U.S. Navy has ever inflicted on an enemy force.In March 1944, the Japanese admiral in charge of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy departed the Palau Islands, bound for the Philippines. With him was a secure briefcase containing the location and numbers of every single Japanese aircraft, ship, sailor, and soldier in the Pacific. Dubbed War Plan Z, the documents detailed how and where the Japanese would counter-attack any American offensive.En route, Admiral Fukudome's flying boat got lost in a storm and crashed off the coast of Cebu. The admiral survived, as did his briefcase. Both were captured by Filipino guerrillas, who brought them to their commander, American insurgent James Cushing. Recognizing the value of the intelligence, Cushing made plans to smuggle Fukudome and the documents out of the Philippines and into the hands of General MacArthur's special operations department. Japanese forces unleashed a wave of wanton violence, burning a path of destruction deep into Cebu's central mountains in search of their captured admiral.Cushing knew the real value wasn't the admiral, but the war plan-and the Japanese were not yet certain the insurgent had found the briefcase. But soon after Fukudome was released, the chase was back on after a captive confessed Cushing possessed War Plan Z. What followed was one of the war's most epic pursuits, a deadly game of cat and mouse through the Philippine Islands to get Plan Z to a special operations USN submarine. The course of the war's final year would be determined by who won this race.

The difficulty of raising kids in America is well-known-no federally supported parental leave, a lack of mental health support, a crushing combination of workplace pressure and aspirational parental perfection, and the fresh hell that is the playgroup Facebook page. But what if there was another way?The simple fact is that parenting, and specifically motherhood, looks wildly different across nations. Please Yell at My Kids is an around the world journey and a practical guide to rethinking parenting. What can we learn from Brazilian birth parties, Singaporean grandparents, and Danish babies sleeping soundly outside of coffee shops? And how can that be integrated into the lives of American readers, even if we can't hop on a plane and wing our way to the land of paid parental leave? Journalist Marina Lopes travels around the globe, interviewing and learning from parents in Singapore, France, Mozambique, Indonesia, Japan, Sweden and more to provide practical, actionable ways to reimagine parenting in America.At the heart of many global approaches to parenting lies one simple, and not so simple thing: community. In America, parenting is, at best, a dual mission, perhaps with one partner playing the role of sidekick and occasional comic relief. But globally parenthood is more often a team sport, played in the center of a community that helps, supports, and occasionally drives you up the wall. From guiding caregivers through how to define their own non-negotiable values, to navigating tricky conversations with their in-laws, Please Yell at My Kids provides readers with the inspiration and practical tools to build a community of care in their own lives and reimagine parenthood in a joyful new way.

Writer and founder of national online support group Caregiver Collective and herself a caregiver Jennifer N. Levin offers a comprehensive look at our current culture of care--with an emphasis on Millennial caregivers--providing a roadmap to solutions and an urgent call for policy change.More than 10 million Millennials are caring for aging parents before they've been able to fully launch their own careers and consider starting their own families, and that's not including the incalculable numbers of people affected by long COVID. Yet no one is naming this problem, talking about how it feels, or offering resources to ease the pressure of Millennial caregiver burnout. Jennifer N. Levin was 32 when her father was diagnosed with a rare degenerative illness. As she struggled with few resources and little support, she created Caregiver Collective, a national online support group for Millennial caregivers. Now Levin brings the wisdom from her own experience and that of her support group to Why Us?, a comprehensive look at this generation's culture of care. Filled with the voices of caregivers, expert commentary and research, and a roadmap to the solutions that can begin helping people now as well as build the policies of the future, Why Us? addresses:- The urgency of caregiving: With earlier (and better) detection of disease, along with a rise in chronic illness, the average age of a care recipient is younger than before--as is the average caregiver age.- The financial costs: Millennials spend a higher percentage of their income on caregiving and carry unprecedented student loan debt, adding to fiscally devastating out-of-pocket costs for care.- Ambiguous loss for caregivers: Caregiving can dictate caregivers' lifestyle choices; Millennial caregivers may grieve the lives they 'thought' they'd have.- The impact of COVID and long COVID: We're in a period of fluctuation with flex and remote work, which makes work and caregiving more compatible. How can we make sure that working caregivers' needs are honored?- Strategies for getting help on the individual level and in relation to policy.We, as a culture and society, talk about caregiving broadly-it's something many of us may think, "not us" or "we'll figure that out later." But caregiving is an increasingly urgent crisis. Why Us? brings this crisis to the fore, illuminates the real stories and people who are most affected, underscores the need for shifts in policy and giving support where it is most needed, and sounds a clarion call for change.

From prolific metal guitarist and songwriter for Exodus (and formerly Slayer) Gary Holt comes an entertaining and deeply personal memoir of Holt's "destruction-laden" life, along with a firsthand account of the genesis of the Thrash Metal scene, from its origins in the Bay Area to its world dominationSince exploding out of the Bay Area heavy metal scene in the 1980s, thrash metal has made its way to every corner of the globe, conquering worldwide charts with every passing year. As the guitarist and primary songwriter of Exodus, and as an originator of the subgenre and one of its fiercest proponents, Gary Holt watched as his peers-Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax-soared to superstardom. As his fellow artists amassed millions of fans and record sales, Exodus' albums received critical recognition and inspired generations of listeners but struggled to reach the same heights of success, as the band was plagued by years of bad management, bad luck, and bad decision-making. In A FABULOUS DISASTER, Holt shares a deeply personal account of what it was like to "live fast, play fast, and crash hard" as thrash metal dominated the globe. Holt's "destruction-laden farce" follows our narrator through the highest of highs and lowest of lows as he and his bandmates juggle major label contracts, MTV-sponsored tours and festivals, growing addictions to alcohol and meth, and the loss of key founding members. In the throes of addiction, Holt's own fall from grace is swift; one year, he's playing on the MTV Headbanger's Ball Tour with Anthrax and Helloween, and the next, he's struggling to find minimum wage jobs as he battles drugs, divorce, and the dissolution of his creative prospects. Ultimately, after the tragic death of one of his closest friends and former bandmates-Holt decides that enough is enough and realizes the only one who can save him is himself. Newly sober and determined to resurrect his career, he commits himself to Exodus, pushing the band to new heights. He then joins Slayer, one of metal's biggest bands, and plays massive venues around the world, including Madison Square Garden. After Slayer's unexpected retirement, Holt devotes his attention full-time to Exodus once again, recording and playing with more passion than ever before.An "unadulterated odyssey through decades of insanity," punctuated by Holt's unique insight and knack for storytelling, A FABULOUS DISASTER is a thrill ride from start to finish. His story proves that redemption-even from the pits of rock 'n' roll excess-is always possible.

The authorized biography of the quintessential '80s pop band The Bangles, who scored massive hits with "Manic Monday," Walk Like an Egyptian," "Hazy Shade of Winter," and moreFrom their first meeting in 1981, the Bangles were ambitious, focused, and intentional; their hard-work and determination resulted in millions of records sold across the globe, before becoming the first all-girl band to have five "Top 10" hits. Not long after coming together, they toured the world, released #1 records, and collaborated with the biggest artists of the day. They seemed unstoppable-until tensions within the band, artistic differences, and the pressures of sudden celebrity tore them apart less than a decade later.ETERNAL FLAME is the story of those eight years: of a diverse and vibrant Los Angeles music scene, unfettered work ethics and self-belief, the dawn of MTV, the unpredictable consequences of fame, life as a touring band, and their rapid rise to global domination--then imploding at the height of success. But it's also a story of the very real challenges faced by women attempting to follow their artistic dreams in a media and music industry ecosystem which seemed set up for their failure from the start.With unprecedented access to founding members Debbi Peterson, Susanna Hoffs, and Vicki Peterson, ETERNAL FLAME is the first authorized biography of this iconic group, featuring exclusive stories, input, and interviews from the pioneering band members themselves as well as those that knew them best. From playing the club circuit in 1980s' LA to bunking with Sting during a PR trip to the UK to topping the Billboard charts, to interludes with Prince and appearances on the definitive MTV, ETERNAL FLAME traces the band's rise to superstardom, taking readers behind-the-scenes and sharing with them never-before-shared anecdotes and personal ephemera.As Debbi herself notes, "I think it's about time that our true story was told. People only see certain aspects of the Bangles, especially as the media has twisted the past and we have been misrepresented for a long time. Plus, certainly in the eighties, we were women making it in a man's world. I think that needs to be celebrated." Dynamic, daring, and deliciously entertaining from start to finish, ETERNAL FLAME is a tribute to one of the greatest pop bands of the 20th century-and a long-overdue corrective that restores The Bangles to their rightful place in music history as feminist trailblazers.

Chutzpah Nation is an inspirational call to action by a senior U.S. politician, describing how Americans of all age groups, persuasions, and occupations can defy convention, chart new pathways for their communities, schools, at work and in life.US Senator Ron Wyden is widely praised for coming up with sensible-sounding ideas no one else had thought of and making the counter-intuitive political alliances that prove helpful in passing bills. In Chutzpah Nation, he offers a progressive leader's manifesto for being a courageous warrior during turbulent times. It is an inspirational guide to get important things accomplished with a combination of strong allies, persistence, and attention-that is, chutzpah. "Chutzpah" is a Yiddish word that describes a trait that many Jews consider in-born. Ron explores chutzpah's long history and many interpretations and reclaims the word chutzpah for a new American generation, showing how it can be used for good to reclaim idealism and enact positive change. He shares "Ron's 12 Rules of Chutzpah" that enable any individual or group to achieve their objectives:1. If you want to make change, you've got to make noise.2. In a world where everyone thinks and acts for the short-term, always play the long game.3. Leading is coaching: Whether in legislation or in life, you've got to bring people and ideas together around a shared goal.4. Show up every day prepared to play.5. There are only two paths you can take to progress: Start good things and stop bad things. Do both.6. Embrace the unscripted moments.7. Ideas are the seeds of change; find them and plant them wherever and whenever you can.8. Pay attention to your friends, because they can be far more unpredictable than your enemies.9. Don't push rocks up hills. Push boulders. They will fall back on you, but you'll gain the strength to get to the top.10. Be a principled bipartisan: Work with anybody who is serious about moving forward.11. Political capital doesn't earn interest and is worth nothing if you don't spend it.12. "Compromise" isn't about horse-trading bad ideas for each other; it's about blending good ideas into a whole that's better than the sum of its parts.Ron identifies several key values-free speech, health care, reproductive rights, a clean environment, and reigning in Big Tech-and draws on his decades of public service to stress that preserving those values means that loud brashness and boldness will be needed now more than ever.

With a new Afterword and Reading Group Guide exclusive to the paperback edition.In this enlightening personal account, one man tells the story of his groundbreaking project to sleep overnight in former slave dwellings that still stand across the country-revealing the fascinating history behind these sites and shedding light on larger issues of race in America.Joseph McGill Jr., a historic preservationist and Civil War reenactor, founded the Slave Dwelling Project in 2010 based on an idea that was sparked and first developed in 1999. Since founding the project, McGill has been touring the country, spending the night in former slave dwellings-throughout the South, but also the North and the West, where people are often surprised to learn that such structures exist. Events and gatherings are arranged around these overnight stays, and it provides a unique way to understand the often otherwise obscured and distorted history of slavery. The project has inspired difficult conversations about race in communities from South Carolina to Alabama to Texas to Minnesota to New York, and all over the United States.Sleeping with the Ancestors focuses on all of the key sites McGill has visited in his ongoing project and digs deeper into the actual history of each location, using McGill's own experience and conversations with the community to enhance those original stories. Altogether, McGill and coauthor Herb Frazier give readers an important unexpected emersion into the history of slavery, and especially the obscured and ignored aspects of that history.

A provocative, irreverent biography of Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, BORN WITH A TAIL chronicles a time when Americans could welcome a macabre showman into their living rooms via TheTonight Show, before a ginned-up hysteria known as the Satanic Panic would put a target on his shiny, shaven head. When Anton LaVey burst onto the San Francisco scene right before the Summer of Love, he parlayed his eerie obsessions into a philosophy and lifestyle that capitalized on a New Age rage. With his signature cape, horn-studded hood, and Ming the Merciless beard, LaVey was a media-savvy provocateur who took what he did seriously, but was always in on the joke. From a spooky old Victorian house, he founded the Church of Satan, where young women squirmed nude on the mantel of his ritual chamber as he delivered a doctrine of self-deification and indulgence that combined the writings of Ayn Rand, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Aleister Crowley with the pulpy fictions of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. Later, his book The Satanic Bible (still in print since 1969) struck an ominous chord with the alienated--the fringe dwellers who were goth before there were goths. But LaVey's influence could be felt far beyond his flock, namely in the paranormal and metaphysical entertainment that dominated pop culture in the 1970s and continues to make an impact today. He was a musical prodigy who attracted a cluster of celebrities into his orbit, including Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Sammy Davis Jr. But living like a real-life Gomez Addams, complete with a full-grown pet lion, came at an awful price. Deeply researched and featuring dozens of interviews, as well as recently unearthed personal correspondence, BORN WITH A TAIL: The Devilish Life and Wicked Times of Anton Szandor LaVey, Founder of the Church of Satan separates the facts from the fabrications of this uniquely American character's extraordinary life.
