And Other Male Failures

The Good Stuff Doesn't Break

In her one-of-a-kind voice, Diane Keaton shares the wisdom she's accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. From a mortifying encounter with a makeup artist to an awkward excursion to Victoria's Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton reveals candid moments from her life in and out of the public eye. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her life-including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino-shows how our ideals of beauty change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful thing of all. 'Diane Keaton wasn't just an actress: she was a force. A woman who showed us that being yourself is the is the most powerful thing you can be' Octavia Spencer 'She's talented, iconic, quirky . . . And wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir' Elle 'A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories' Nancy Meyers 'Her influence on culture, fashion, art and women can't be overstated' Elizabeth Banks

Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty

Berner has grown Cookies into a billion-dollar mainstream company with more than seventy stores across the country and the world, added a sought-after streetwear side-brand, and gained millions of fans eagerly awaiting his next move. While building Cookies into the empire it is today, Berner took notes from everywhere: a strong sense of identity from the best streetwear brands, frequent collaborations from the music industry, and rapid expansion from Silicon Valley. In Becoming Legend, Berner pulls back the curtain on his incredible rise to success while bringing to light how he did it and how you can too, including: • It Starts with a Vision: Potential is everywhere. Recognize opportunities and don’t be afraid to think big. • Access Is Everything: Your network is your net worth. Learn how to leverage and increase your access to impactful people. • Become Timeless: Creating an identity is crucial in brand-building, whether it be you or your logo. • Put Your Fingerprints on Everything: If you let people speak for you or represent your vision, a great idea may never blossom. • Never Be Afraid to Throw Back Whales: Learn to trust your gut. Not all money is good money. Becoming Legend is the instruction manual for all aspiring entrepreneurs to not just get rich but leave a legacy.

The Billion-Dollar Blueprint to Be a Whale in a Sea of Sharks

Becoming Legend

Chasing Hollywood is not just a marketing book. It is a memoir wrapped in the cultural phenomenon of films that have shaped our lives.Learn timeless lessons about the remarkable hard work and genius artistry that went into the creation and promotion of movies we love. Films that served as must-see moments for the last two generations. The pop-culture infiltrators that have marked our years and shaped our shared memories, giving us the stars, catch-phrases and bold ideas that people still talk about--whether we're growing up, growing old, looking inward, or coming out.Sometimes audiences don't know what they want, simply because they haven't seen it before--in part because of the massive blockades created by corporate ownership and mainstream media saturation from big-dollar marketing campaigns, constructed by the powers that be in order to keep outsiders and little guys down and out.These powers still exist in the film world, and the social media world, and the book world, too, just as they exist in almost every industry today, when even the most well-funded marketing departments struggle to break through the unstoppable wall of noise created by the overflow of information and content that floods consumers' feeds and screens every second of every day.But guess what?Blockades are still breakable, and even the tallest walls are surmountable. We just need to take an indie-film approach to breaking through.

A Marketing Chief’s Lessons on Breaking Through

Chasing Hollywood

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Story of a Risk-Taking Cookie Queen

Bake It 'Til You Make It

Ask a business leader about their HR partners and you'll hear, "They don't understand us." Ask an HR leader about their business partners, and you'll hear, "They don't listen to us."This disconnect is not just a communication breakdown - it's a systemic dysfunction that keeps the greatest engine of a company (its people) sputtering.The Great Leadership Disconnect reveals that transforming HR from a perceived support act into an indispensable commercial force is the responsibility of both business and HR leaders. It diagnoses the dysfunctions that keep HR and business leadership disconnected and challenges conventional thinking with commercial, clear and grounded solutions drawn from behavioral science and real-life leadership dilemmas.The old model of HR as a siloed support function is no longer relevant. HR can be - must be - a leadership amplifier and a business driver, focusing on commercial impact, employee value and the space where impact, performance and people meet.Serkan Deveci is a senior leader at Google with a rare blend of leadership experience in global Sales and strategic HR. Having operated on both sides of the executive table, he offers a unique perspective on aligning talent with business outcomes. A recognized keynote speaker, his work is grounded in his PhD research.

Why HR and business drift apart – and how to bring them back together

The Great Leadership Disconnect

Selected pieces on nature, history, politics, and urban culture from a master of the nonfiction narrative. Writing on subjects as divergent as the mega-fires that burned the grasslands of the Great Plains in 2018, the tragic secret life of the manufacturer of maraschino cherries, the world's largest beaver dam, and the invasive Burmese pythons of the Florida Everglades, Ian Frazier captures the multiplicity, the strangeness, and the wonder of contemporary life. This collection of pieces-consisting of features and reportage for The New Yorker beginning in 1970, articles on topics such as COVID and rereading Lolita fifty years later, and work published in the last year-showcases the wide-ranging play of Frazier's imagination. Astute and engaged, he is the supreme chronicler of the everyday, a kind of social and political anthropologist. Fifty years of keen observation and irrepressible curiosity come together in The Snakes That Ate Florida, establishing Frazier as nothing less than the greatest practitioner of the form.

The Snakes That Ate Florida

“Such a cute baby, where did you get her?”
“This is such a good thing you are doing.”
“My friends were lucky, they got a white baby.”
Born in Germany in the 1960s to war-traumatized&nbsp;parents, Martina Dahlmanns&nbsp;grew up in middle class suburbia, surrounded by loaded silences and unacknowledged prejudice. But she believes she’s left those prejudices behind when, in her thirties, she moves to South Africa and becomes the adoptive mother of three black children.
Unable to answer increasingly difficult questions from her eldest, Lele, Martina turns to a community dialogue group. There, she meets Tumi Jonas-Mpofu, a young black woman from Gugulethu, whose friendship will define Martina’s life and force her to reckon with the enduring impact of her privilege.
This timely and deeply personal memoir is a celebration of chosen family—but beyond that, it is an acute examination of the legacy of racism in adoption.

'An instant classic' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Sweeping, intimate, defiant and brimming with love' LOUISE KENNEDY 'It is the roots that keep the trees from falling during a storm. Olia Hercules tells us that the same is true for people and nations' SERHII PLOKHY I am writing this story without knowing its end: it begins long before I was born and will continue long after I die. I am writing this story to help myself heal and to make you understand. Strong Roots is the story of a century in Ukraine told through four generations of one extraordinary family. It takes us from years of Russification, to Olia's grandmother's deportation to snowy wastelands under Stalin, to her Aunt Zhenia's school protest, to her own parents' flight from Ukraine when their town was occupied in 2022. This is an ode to the land, to ideas of home and belonging, and to family stories and recipes passed down the generations - the tang of sour cherries, the best way to make borsch. It is an account of resilience in the hardest of circumstances. Strong Roots brims with hope and grief. It lays bare the compromises and betrayals of generations struggling and surviving through war, peace, invasion and exile. It is an uplifting reminder of how much the human spirit can endure when born from a land rich with strong roots.

Boost your AI quotient for AI-ready leadership.Most leaders know that AI can deliver efficiency gains, making it a company priority in a challenging business environment. But the pace of change is outstripping their ability to adapt. More than 75% of leaders report that AI is creating challenges they have never faced before and these new challenges, anxieties and uncertainty about the future are creating a 'readiness gap'.AI-Q, your AI Quotient, is both a new metric for assessing readiness and a framework for building it. Use the AI-Q MAP (Mindset, Abilities and Practices) to: <ul> <li> assess where you are today </li> <li> identify the critical gaps, and </li> <li> build the leadership and organizational capabilities you need to ensure your AI investments deliver returns. </li> </ul>Futurist and economist Athena Peppes draws on research from leading institutions and expert interviews to offer a new approach to AI-readiness, the new critical leadership capability in the human+AI era.
