Sparks fly when Orion and Ray meet for the first time at a roller rink in Memphis. But these star-crossed souls have a past filled with secrets that threaten to tear them apart before their love story even begins. Found poetry, grief, and fate collide in this powerful debut.Ray: Just once I’d like my birthday to be about me, and not the day my father died. I want to be Ray Jr., the tall girl from Memphis with the poetry beats and the braids that stay poppin’. And when I meet Orion at the skating rink, that’s exactly who I am. He pulls my hand, and instead of being defined by my past, he races me toward my future. Orion: When I dive into the pool, it’s just me and my heartbeat. There’s no dad, no dead sister, and no distracting noises. But I can’t hold my breath forever. And since I met Ray, I don’t want to. The closer we get, though, the more I see I’m not the only one caught in her wake. With a lyrical blend of found poetry and poignant prose, this stunning deb

Discover the steps to earning your path to fulfillment and living without regrets―from the world-renowned executive coach and New York Times bestselling author of Triggers and What Got You Here Won’t Get You ThereOur lives exist on a continuum between two poles: fulfillment and regret. We invest enormous resources of time and energy into staying healthy, being recognized for our achievements, nurturing our relationships, and making money.

But how can we know if we’re investing in the right things? How can we ensure that our “earned rewards” add up to an overarching sense of purpose in our lives?In The Earned Life, pioneering leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith shows us how to live our own lives―not someone else’s version of them. The key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires our commitment

An eye-opening look at the psychology of why we keep the secrets we keep, how to better understand and cope with them, and when (and how) we should bring them to light.Think of a secret that you’re keeping from others. It shouldn’t take long; behavioral scientist Michael Slepian finds that on average, we are keeping as many as thirteen secrets at any given time. His research involving more than 50,000 participants from around the globe shows that the most common secrets include: lies we’ve told, addiction or mental health challenges, a hidden relationship, financial struggles, and more. Our secrets can weigh heavily upon us. Yet the burden of secrecy, Slepian argues, rarely stems from the work it takes to keep a secret hidden. Rather, secrets are something we must “carry” because we do so alone, without the support of others. Whether we are motivated to protect our reputation, a relationship, or a loved one’s feelings, or are pursuing some personal or professional goal, one thing is cl

為什麼喜歡聽悲傷的音樂？這可能跟人類潛藏苦中帶樂的苦甜思維相關。《安靜就是力量》作者透過大量研究，從受訪者及自身真實經歷中探索人們的悲傷與渴望，讓苦甜的力量引領我們走向人際關係更加緊密、更富創造力的人生。The author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet reveals how embracing a bittersweet mindset may hold the key to true connection and help us transcend a culture that’s more comfortable with enforced happiness.With her mega-bestseller Quiet, Susan Cain urged our society to cultivate space for the undervalued, indispensable introverts among us, thereby revealing an untapped power hidden in plain sight. Now, she employs the same mix of research, storytelling, and memoir to explore the riches that a different outlook has to offer our happiness-focused yet torn-apart culture. Western psychology traditionally regards sorrow and longing as maladaptive at best, pathological at worst. We live in a culture that encourages us to telegraph how happy―or, on the flip side, outraged―we are. As a result, our collective empathy is spiraling downward, and we’re ill-equipped to deal with our personal troub

NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • In Ai Weiwei’s memoir, “one of the most important artists working in the world today” (Financial Times) tells a century-long epic tale of China through the story of his own extraordinary life and the legacy of his father, the nation’s most celebrated poet.Hailed as “an eloquent and seemingly unsilenceable voice of freedom” by The New York Times, Ai Weiwei has written a sweeping memoir that presents a remarkable history of China over the last hundred years while also illuminating his artistic process. Once an intimate of Mao Zedong and the nation’s most celebrated poet, Ai Weiwei’s father, Ai Qing, was branded a rightist during the Cultural Revolution, and he and his family were banished to a desolate place known as “Little Siberia,” where Ai Qing was sentenced to hard labor cleaning public toilets. Ai Weiwei recounts his childhood in exile, and his difficult decision to leave his family to study art in America, where he befriended Allen Ginsberg and was

A gripping behind-the-scenes history of video games in the twenty-first centuryIf there is one thing that defines the video game industry, it is survival of the fittest. It's a business where no one can confidently say what people will be buying and playing even a year from now. And as gaming has grown to a $160 billion market, the cost of that uncertainty has never been higher. Steven L. Kent has been playing video games since Pong and writing about the industry since the Nintendo Entertainment System. In his last book, he used his encyclopedic knowledge and unparalleled access to game designers and executives to tell the story of the industry's first thirty years. Now he chronicles gaming's second century, as Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft wage a life-or-death battle to capture the global market. The home console boom of the 90s turned hobby companies like Nintendo and Sega into Hollywood-studio-sized business titans. But by the end of the decade, the machines that had made thei
