18. The White Album - Joan Didion
|
|||
|
«Noi ci raccontiamo storie per vivere»: così Joan Didion apre The White Album, diario intimo, reportage bizzarro, ossimorico ed estremo di una nuova America. Quella delle autostrade californiane, delle hall di vecchi hotel coloniali affacciati sulle spiagge bianche di Honolulu, delle feste hollywoodiane e delle comuni, degli studi di registrazione in cui si scrive la storia della musica. Momenti di vita personale – quelli con la figlia – si intrecciano con i grandi avvenimenti del tempo: personaggi come Jim Morrison, Nancy Reagan e Charles Manson fanno da contorno alla lotta del movimento femminista, alle contraddizioni della protesta studentesca e delle Pantere nere. Lo sguardo di Joan Didion si sposta dal privato al pubblico e non rifugge dalle polemiche. Affronta senza remore ogni verità, anche la più sgradevole: l’impossibilità di ricondurre la vita – e l’arte – a un significato incrollabile. Joan Didion stupisce ancora una volta per la lucidità stilistica e la risolutezza di visione, la testarda fedeltà a se stessa e la capacità di trasformare in emblema un dettaglio minuto della vita quotidiana; per l’eleganza con cui passa dalla rappresentazione di una realtà caotica alla raccolta contemplazione della corolla di un fiore o delle volute nerastre che un incendio disegna nel cielo del mattino. Le pagine bianche di un album da riempire, con il loro silenzio incolpevole ma partecipe, sono allora l’unica via, se non per trovare un senso, almeno per cercarlo. |

Those are just a few of the nicknames I’ve earned in my professional life. As the executive consultant King’s Creamery has brought in to save them from financial ruin, I have to decide which employees get the ax. I can’t afford to make friends or get chummy with my new neighbors.   Try telling that to the enormous, hunky fireman next door who’s annoyingly determined to make friends with me.

I might be secretly obsessed.   When a newspaper exposé turns the whole town against me, my hot fireman neighbor steps up to act as my protector, and my secret obsession threatens to turn into a case of serious feelings. But I can’t allow that to happen when I’m only here temporarily. I’ve got to keep my walls up to protect the heart everyone thinks I don’t have.   RYAN   My new neighbor might act like she wants nothing to do with me, but I’ve seen her watching me from her window. I can tell she likes what she sees, and I love pushing her buttons—a little too much. I’ve got no restraint when it comes to this woman.    Now I’m screwed because I can’t get her out of my head. The more time I spend with Maggie, the more I suspect she might be the soul mate I’ve been waiting for all my life.   Of course I’d find her now when I can’t risk letting her get too close. If she does, she might discover the secret I’ve been keeping from everyone.   Soul mate or not, I’ve got to let her go. Even if it kills me.   PINT OF CONTENTION is book #3 in the King Family series set in the small town of Crowder, Texas, home of the King’s Creamery ice cream company.

Shy and innocent Katherine has always dreamed about getting the main part in one of her theater's plays. In addition to a love for stage-acting, the role would help distract her from the looming anniversary of her parents' tragic deaths. A home-rehearsal turns into something unexpected when her script's Latin incantation accidentally summons a high-ranking demon, Nex. Getting summoned is a nuisance, but in the name of all that's unholy why did Nex have to be bonded by blood to the purest human? He can only return to hell if he kills the person she names, and Katherine is too virtuous to have a murder on her hands. Though Nex utilizes a multitude of devilish tactics to convince her otherwise, he's now stuck in the human realm. Katherine should be scared of Nex's demonic powers and foul mouth, but she can't seem to resist his charm and sinfully good looks. The longer he stays, their mutual attraction and desire become undeniably heated. Unfortunately, human and demon relations are strictly forbidden. While supernatural forces and the demon leader herself try to tear them apart, the only thing they can rely on is love, and a little bit of faith. |

27. One Helluva Ride - Michael Douglas
|
|||
|
A boy lost in the shadow of his father's legacy. A gifted artist dismissed as just a "TV actor." A first-time film producer who stunned the world by winning an Oscar at 31. A maverick who changed Hollywood and became a global movie star. Hollywood icon Michael Douglas tells the unfiltered story of his life for the first time. "I spent a significant portion of my career playing some version of the modern, flawed, American male. You'll see from these pages that it wasn't exactly a stretch for me." Beginning with his fractured childhood and a complex relationship with his superstar father, Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas finally gives the full and uncensored account of a remarkable life. One Helluva Ride reveals incredible behind-the-scenes stories featuring a Who's Who of Hollywood, many of them never revealed before and some outrageously funny, with an unflinching honesty about his sometimes bad-boy life. Initially dismissed as just the handsome son of a legendary movie star, at age thirty-one he shook up Hollywood when he won his first Oscar for producing the five-time Academy Award-winning classic film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . Told he would never be anything more than a "TV actor," he quit the hit series The Streets of San Francisco to become an international movie star, with a list of classic films that have grossed billions of dollars, winning a second Oscar for his riveting performance as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street . "I can't think about my life without thinking of my movies," Douglas says, and he recounts his career through twelve of his most iconic films, including One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest , The China Syndrome , Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile , Fatal Attraction, Wall Street, War of the Roses, Basic Instinct, Falling Down, The American President, Traffic and Behind the Candelabra . These movies not only captured the cultural zeitgeist but often defined it. Yet as Douglas's fame grew, so did his personal struggles. He recounts the full, unfiltered story of his turbulent first marriage; infidelity and affairs with some of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood; his own serious struggle with alcohol, drugs and rehab; the heartbreaking fight to save his son from an addiction that sent him to prison; and his against-all-odds battle with stage IV cancer. He saw Catherine Zeta Jones on a movie screen and instantly fell for her. Their incredible love story transformed his life and proved all the tabloids wrong, enduring after twenty-five years of marriage. Father, son, husband, actor, producer, brother and friend. This is the real, raw, deeply honest and vulnerable Michael Douglas you don't know-until now. |

|
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Makes real events read like a thriller' The Times 'Everything you could want in a Cold War thriller' New York Times ' Redwood might be his best yet' John Grisham From the multi-million copy bestselling historian, the remarkable, unknown Cold War story of how one spy saved the world from nuclear war The year is 1981. Tehran is in violent turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah’s fledgling Islamist regime. If they do so, one response from America – unknown to the public – would be to use nuclear weapons. This is the story of how at the height of the Cold War, one mysterious double agent, known to MI6 as ‘Redwood’, revealed the Kremlin’s secret plot and prevented Armageddon. This unsung, hitherto unknown hero of the Cold War, a six-foot-four Russian intelligence officer, had a problem, a sexual secret, one that if revealed, would turn his life upside-down. So he reached out to MI6, believing it to have the only solution – in return for the KGB’s deepest secrets. And then, facing exposure, he demanded that the British try to smuggle him out of Iran in a high-stakes escape plan. This is the gripping tale of one man’s courage; about friendship, marriage, betrayal and sexual dysfunction; and about how decisions made in secret can have huge, long-term ramifications. Drawing on never-before-seen material from archives in multiple countries, and interviews with officers from MI6 and MI5, the KGB and CIA, Redwood lifts the lid on how espionage really works, and on an unknown and highly significant Cold War victory. For without Redwood, our world would be very different – and might not exist at all.

34. The Weight of Angels - John Boyne
|
|||
|
The life Oscar Wilde never had — reimagined by John Boyne in his most ambitious and emotionally powerful novel yet. **AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE STORY WITHIN. This deluxe hardback edition is finished with stunning gold foil.** 'Exceptionally moving... A granularly imagined, witty, hugely pleasurable read' Neel Mukherjee 'Wise, imaginative, funny, and extremely moving' Tan Twan Eng, Booker longlisted author of The House of Doors ' A richly inventive multi-media novel of literary might-have-beens' John Banville, Booker prize winner of The Sea 'A spectacularly cheeky piece of speculative fiction, gleefully celebrating the possibilities of queer genius' Patrick Gale __________ Can one rash decision prove the difference between a life well lived and a life destroyed? When the Marquis of Queensbury left his calling card at the Albemarle Club in February 1895, it bore only his name and five words: ‘For Oscar Wilde, posing Somdomite’. The famous playwright sued for libel, which led to his arrest, criminal prosecution and imprisonment. From then on, his gilded existence spiralled into public disgrace and an early death. But what if he had simply ignored the insult? Rather than dying impoverished in Paris at forty-six, what if he had lived to bear witness to the momentous events and cataclysmic changes at the start of the twentieth century, and even influence some of them? What if the second half of his life were as celebrated, dramatic and tumultuous as the first? Like Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet and Percival Everett's James , John Boyne explores one of the great what-if stories of modern literature, giving the great Anglo-Irish playwright an opportunity to take an entirely different path. Readers are loving THE WEIGHT OF ANGELS: 'Remarkable, funny and very touching’ 'Enjoyed this book so much I bought The Picture of Dorian Grey ’ 'I devoured it in just a few days. Completely transported!’ |

36. A Bigger Life - Louise O'Neill
|

|
'Eat Pray Love for the Hinge era' – The Sunday Times Style What happens when you stop trying to be the woman everyone wants you to be, and start asking what you want instead? At 38, Louise O’Neill had the life she thought she wanted. The relationship. The home. The future. Then it all ended, taking with it not only the life she had built, but her certainty about what a successful, happy life was supposed to look like. Heartbroken but restless, Louise decided not to rebuild the same life all over again. Inspired by her father’s advice to go out and live a bigger life, she began saying yes. To risk. To desire. To adventure. To the possibility that there might be another way to live. What followed was an extraordinary dating odyssey across Paris, London and New York, meeting a different man each night. The stories are outrageous, intimate and frequently hilarious, but the men are only the beginning. Because as Louise steps outside the life she thought she was supposed to want, she begins to question the rules that got her there in the first place. Why are women still taught to make themselves smaller, easier and more pliable to be loved? Why are we so frightened of ageing? How do we measure success when marriage and motherhood are no longer inevitable milestones? What has modern dating done to intimacy? And what does it mean to desire men at a moment when masculinity itself feels increasingly contested? Turning her trademark sharp, fearless eye on ageing, beauty, sex, motherhood, modern masculinity, loneliness, ambition and the pressure to settle, Louise examines the contradictions of being a woman today while implicating herself in every one of them. Fearlessly honest, fiercely intelligent and laugh-out-loud funny, A Bigger Life is a memoir about what happens when you stop shrinking yourself to fit the life you’ve been given and asks us all to reflect on the question at the heart of the book: What does it really mean to live a bigger life? Readers can't resist falling in love with this extraordinary book: 'A groundbreaking shift in how we talk about women, love and relationships’ – Marian Keyes 'Beautifully written with generosity, candour, intelligence and wit. A Bigger Life reminds us all that hope exists, if we are brave enough to open our hearts to finding it' – Elizabeth Day '[This book is] so fierce, and so tender! There's so much compassion there, it's utterly captivating, profound and it's very, very funny' – Daisy Buchanan About the author Louise O’Neill is the bestselling and multi-award-winning author of Only Ever Yours, Asking For It, Almost Love, and Idol. Known for her sharp, fearless feminist writing, she has become one of the most important voices in contemporary Irish literature.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER 'One of our greatest non-fiction storytellers' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE 'Riveting . . . an unmissable piece of work' MEGAN NOLAN, OBSERVER 'Addictively readable' DOLLY ALDERTON 'Chilling . . . supremely entertaining' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Ridiculously compelling and wonderfully weird . . . wise, timely and extremely funny' LOUIS THEROUX 'If you want a totally compelling live mystery that will make you burn for justice, READ THIS BOOK URGENTLY' MARINA HYDE The million-copy bestselling author of The Psychopath Test returns with a shocking, darkly comic trip to the furthest reaches of the masculinity crisis I honestly have no clue what is going on. This is very weird. We left. Was completely f****d. All good now. When Jon Ronson received a series of disquieting texts from his son Joel who’d been lured to a mysterious castle in the forests of New England late one night, it sets Ronson Sr. off on an adventure into an underworld of unmoored and disaffected men. As Jon deepens his investigation into the castle and the wider ‘man crisis’ – where some are feeling tossed around in a sea of conflicting ideologies of what it means to be a man – urgent questions come to light. What exactly is ‘Princessing’? Why did a lawn care influencer dress as a baby in front of billions of online viewers, with catastrophic results? And more pressingly, why are two recently released murderers on their way to pay Jon a visit? From the death of utopian factory towns to the false promise of YouTube influencer culture, Jon shows us our rapidly changing world like never before, and the men caught in the middle. A world drained of purpose, of collapsing institutions, where a new era of disinhibited behaviour has taken hold of our online and real-world selves. And as the castle mystery twists and turns into a cat-and-mouse story, will Jon be able to discover its terrifying secret hidden from the world? THE CASTLE marks Jon Ronson’s triumphant return to the written page. Utterly hilarious and criminally entertaining, this is one of our greatest non-fiction writers at the top of his game: diagnosing our societal frailties in a narrative of blistering pace, insight and intensity. |

41. All In - Peter O'Mahony
|
|||
|
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER 'Powerful' Irish Independent ‘Superb … authentic and compelling’ Denis Walsh, Irish Times ‘One of the greatest warriors this country has ever produced. It’s absolutely terrific.’ Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio One -- During a golden era of success for Irish rugby, Peter O'Mahony stood out as the player who most fully embodied the traditional values of the game. Now, in his autobiography, Peter gives us a brilliantly detailed and searching account of the forces that made him who he is: his parents, his beloved Granny Conroy, his club, his school, and the magnificent rugby pedigree of his province. And he traces his evolution as a player, leader and human being across a decade and a half at the highest levels of the game, under coaches including Declan Kidney, Anthony Foley, Rassie Erasmus, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell. As an international, Peter was central to Ireland’s greatest ever era. His account of the management methods of Schmidt and Farrell provides remarkable insight into how and why rugby teams succeed or fail. Peter writes about how the Munster teams he played in struggled to live up to the standard set by the group that won two Heineken Cups, and his account of the few months in which he went from feeling unwanted by Munster to being named captain of Ireland is extraordinarily dramatic and revealing. All In is everything that Peter was as a player: frank, combative, self-critical, wholehearted and first-rate. --- ‘Revealing and absorbing … refreshingly candid’ Donald McRae, Guardian ‘A fascinating insight into the soul of an extremist’ Joe Brolly, Irish Independent ‘O’Mahony pulled no punches in his book. It’s a riveting read.’ Irish Mail on Sunday ‘A very good read’ Alan English, The Currency 'A proper player that needs to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats' Will Greenwood 'Squeezes every bit of his ability into his game, empties himself every time for the cause, always shows up when it gets tough ' Ryle Nugent 'One of the best I’ve ever seen at making the dressing room feel all right' Andy Farrell 'He's the life and soul of the dressing room' Johnny Sexton |

She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . .

NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin’s ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals – in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg – whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry. Reviews 'In the grand epic fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best … tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting' Time Magazine ‘Martin’s style is so vivid that you will be hooked within a few pages’ The Times ‘The sheer mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads …Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias’ Guardian ‘The writing is always powerful…' SFX About the author George R.R.

56. The Alloy of Law - Brandon Sanderson
|
|||
|
The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series and his skill at marshalling epic storylines and dramatic action, his ability to create vivid characters made him a natural choice to complete Robert Jordan's epic wheel of time sequence. But with Mistborn, his standalone fantasies and his new series, The Stormlight Archive, Sanderson has shown his bountiful talents in his own fiction. Now he returns to the series that made his name with a new story set years after the events of Hero of Ages. In a world recovering only slowly from evil, a world where allomancers wield immense power through their ability to unleash the magic bound up in common metals someone who can burn metals that no-one has burned before can tip the balance... Sanderson has the knack of giving the epic fantasy reader exactly what they want. This ability has thrown him to the forefront of the genre and the dramatic story within The Alloy of Law shows off this skill to its very best. |

Alex Matthews thought he had left it all behind. His CIA career, the viper's den of bureaucracy at headquarters and the lies and stress of the cat and mouse game of double agents.

But Alex remains, in his mind, a patriot, and so he begrudgingly accepts the Director's request. Something, though, is off about the whole operation from the start. The Russians seem one step ahead and the CIA suspects there is a traitor in the agency. Alex realizes that by getting back into the game he has risked everything he has worked for: his new marriage, his family's safety, his firm.

Don't miss the BRAND NEW utterly charming, romantic read from BESTSELLER Camilla Isley This season, love deserves a comeback story. Dr. Lila Callaway excels at putting broken things back together. But she could never mend her heart after Asher Wayne, the boy who promised her forever, chose football over their relationship. Years later, she runs the physical therapy department at Blue Crescent Medical Center, keeping her life orderly, safe, and free of infuriatingly charming athletes. Until a severe ankle injury sidelines the NFL superstar. He belongs in world-class facilities, not a small-town clinic. But Ash will only let Lila oversee his rehabilitation, pushing all her buttons and looking far too handsome during their grueling daily sessions. Lila establishes strict boundaries: no personal questions, no reminiscing, and absolutely no acknowledging the explosive chemistry still burning between them. Ash agrees to her terms, yet every intense exercise and lingering glance chips away at her ironclad defenses. He claims he returned for his recovery, but his relentless focus remains on her, making his temporary homecoming feel like a play for keeps. Thirteen years apart, ten weeks of forced proximity, will it be enough for a second chance at first love? Praise for Camilla Isley: 'A romcom full of wit, charm, sexual chemistry and brains.'

|

|
The Thrice-Bound Fool is the epic, rollicking next chapter in the bestselling and "awesome as hell" (Nicholas Eames) fantasy adventure series that began with The Blacktongue Thief and The Daughters' War . Professional thief and inveterate trickster Kinch Na Shannack has always enjoyed a good book. But now his life, and the future of all of Manreach, depends on him deciphering a very bad book indeed; a stolen, sentient tome that tries to kill him every time he opens it-and often when it's closed. Galva, veteran of the goblin wars and death's sworn handmaiden, has vowed to protect Kinch while he mines the book for its dark magic and even darker secrets. She does so not for Kinch's sake-though the cheeky bastard is growing on her-but because the book is the key to stopping the shadowy tyrants out to kill the queen she serves, and loves. The ruthless, all-seeing Taker's Guild dogs their every step, and thief and knight must flee the known world entirely if they hope to succeed in their mission. But trouble finds Kinch wherever he goes, and the pair may have traded the devil they know for horrors far darker and hungrier as they enter lands unknown. Praise for Christopher Buehlman: ' The Blacktongue Thief is fast and fun and filled with crazy magic. I can't wait to see what Christopher Buehlman does next' - Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of the Lightbringer series |

79. Later Bloom - Laurie D.R.
|
|||
|
Emotional, inspiring, reflective, intimate Coming of Age Perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton, Claire Daverley, Lily King and Sally Rooney, Later Bloom is a romantic literary fiction novel about the struggles of forging connections while trying to stick to our own timeline, desires and identity. Aubrey is turning twenty-eight this year. She has never been in a relationship. She's never been anyone's girlfriend, never said I love you, never had a first fight or first of mostly anything. She swears it's not a big deal. No one really believes her. No one seems to agree. She's not sure how she got there, really—maybe it was because of Oliver, or Rami, or Sam, or Simon. Maybe it's her. Maybe spending a year in Nova Scotia helping her aunt manage a creaky old inn might just fix everything. There's only two ways this story can end. Either everything changes, or nothing at all. It's simple. It makes her head spin. Later Bloom is Laurie D.R.'s contemporary fiction debut. Weaving between past and present, it explores what it means to bloom a little late, what it takes to find "the one", and how our identities are shaped by our experiences (or lack thereof). |

There is only one thing standing in his way: Morgan, who has achieved the impossible—she’s melted his coolly guarded heart.

82. Operation Sparrow - Jason Bell
|
|||
|
As D-Day looms, three crack commandos parachute into enemy territory on a high-stakes mission of lies and deception. To succeed—and to save D-Day—they’ll need to get arrested by the Nazis. By March 1944, World War II had raged for four and a half years. Tens of millions were already dead. Adolf Hitler knew an Allied invasion was coming and planned to crush it—if only he knew where it would land. If the führer’s forces were in the right place, the Nazis could stop D-Day and continue their murderous control of Europe. But the Allies had a plan. Operation Sparrow called for an elite three-man commando team to drop behind enemy lines, walk into German hands and craft a web of lies strong enough to sway Hitler. The mission seemed impossible: survive Nazi interrogation while making D-Day lies sound true. The three men would risk everything to convince the führer the invasion would strike the Balkans, two thousand kilometres away from Normandy. It was either genius or suicidal. Probably both. Operation Sparrow is the never-before-told story of one of the most daring and successful missions of World War II—a razor’s-edge campaign that diverted millions of Axis troops from Normandy’s beaches through cunning, espionage and audacity. |

***ALSO AVAILABLE - THE ATOMIC HABITS WORKBOOK: OFFICIAL COMPANION TO THE #1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER*** THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: OVER 25 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. ________________________________ A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A supremely practical and useful book.'
