Young J: Burn the Haystack

Burn the Haystack

Decode Dating, Torch the Duds, and Make Room for Men Who Matter

The New York Times bestselling author and human performance expert tests his knowledge and theories on his own aging body in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three. Gnar: adjective, short for "gnarly," def: any environment or situation that is high in perceived risk and high in actual risk. Country: noun, def: any defined territory, landscape or terrain, fictitious or real. Cutting-edge discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience have revolutionized how we think about peak performance aging. On paper, these discoveries should allow older athletes to progress in supposedly "impossible" activities like park skiing (think: jumps and tricks.) To see if theory worked in practice, Kotler conducted his own ass-on-the-line experiment in applied neuroscience and later-in-life skill acquisition: He tried to teach an old dog some new tricks. Recently, top pros have been performing well past a previously considered prime: World-class athletes such as Kelly Slater, the greatest surfer of all time, is winning competitions in his fifties; Tom Brady can beat players half his age. But what about the rest of us?Steven Kotler has been studying human performance for thirty years, and taught hundreds of thousands of people at all skill levels, age groups, and walks of life, how to achieve peak performance. Could his own advice work for him?Now in paperback, Gnar Country is the chronicle of his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. It's a book about goals and grit and progression. It's an antidote for weariness that is inspiring, practical, and, often hilarious. It is about growing old and staying rad. It's a feverish reading experience that makes you put down the book, get out there, and move. Whether hurtling down a mountain side, running your first 10K race, or taking your career to new heights, Kotler challenges us to test ourselves, surpass our limits, and achieve our own impossible, whatever it might be. Part personal journey, part science experiment, part how-to guide, Kotler takes us on his punk rock, high-velocity joy-ride for a better life in spite-and often in defiance of-the perceived limitations of the aging human body.

Rewire Self-Doubt, Find Your Confidence, and Fuel Success

Big Trust

"Humans are social animals. But it is nearly impossible to build healthy, sustainable bonds with others without first having a good relationship with yourself. To get along with others, we often alter our habits or subsume our unique personalities. By trying to transform or suppress our true selves, we erode our self-worth and self-knowledge. We begin to lose sight of who we really are and what we truly want. When our self-understanding and self-confidence are damaged, it ultimately hurts our relationships. In this wise and transformative book--a revised edition of Closer to Love--Vex King helps us find and sustain the connections we want with ourselves and others. Good relationships begin with loving ourselves and recognizing our own desires and needs. This self-discovery allows our best selves to radiate with confidence and to attract and choose partners--romantic and platonic--who are truly compatible. When we feel comfortable in our own skin, we are able to give and receive love without being blocked by the destructive emotions and past trauma that previously held us back and prevented us from forming fulfilling and lasting relationships. Filled with Vex King's profound wisdom, thoughtful self-practices, and easy-to adopt-habit builders, this guide opens you up to the love you deserve and shows you how to bring it into your life."--

The 9 Hard Truths About Love That Will Change Your Life

It Begins with You

How can we fix what we can't see? The invisible norms crushing innovation—and our joy—finally have a name. Nilofer Merchant, co-founder of The Intangible Labs, reveals what's killing great work and gives you the tools to fix it.Something mighty—but invisible—is getting in the way of doing our best work. Seventy percent of people are ridiculously unhappy at work—a figure that has barely budged in thirty years. Despite major changes in technology, management trends, and office setups, the core issues that drive widespread discontent persist and exact a tangible cost: billions in lost productivity, stalled revenue, and missed advantages from ideas that never had their shot.Drawing on decades of research and real-world experience, Nilofer Merchant identifies 24 invisible norms—rooted in outdated hierarchies, paternalism, and a worn-out model of capitalism—that prevent us from doing our best work. She shows how we can replace these 24 limits with 24 leading indicators that form the foundation for a new way of thinking, working, and creating value. She takes apart beloved management constructs and shows why they fail us, including:<ul><li>Servant Leadership</li><li>Personal Branding</li><li>Performance Reviews</li><li>Speaking Up</li><li>Move Fast &amp; Break Things</li><li>Strategy is Separate from Execution</li><li>Give Work Your All</li></ul>Visionary and practical, Our Best Work lights the path from here to there.Ranked one of the most influential management thinkers in the world by Thinkers50, Merchant has been both a successful business executive and incisive thinker, whose work is backed by a wealth of data and vivid case studies. Hers is a bold and brave message: the future is not about control or hierarchy; it’s about co-creation and unleashing the untapped potential within every individual.Merchant’s deep experience—from administrative assistant to corporate board member—gives her insight into what needs to change and why. She speaks a new language to bring forth a new world in which we can add, build, and create the value we need. Using principles from economics, power, and leadership along with practical wisdom and a framework for collective progress, Our Best Work is an essential guide for leaders and organizations ready to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

The Beautiful and Bumpy Ride to Healing and Trusting Our Inner Guide

Wisdom of the Path

“In a world stupefied by quick fixes and easy answers, Elizabeth Weingarten delivers a smart and urgent wake-up call.”—Daniel H. Pink“An interesting, insightful, and surprisingly reassuring read.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden PotentialJournalist and applied behavioral scientist Elizabeth Weingarten charts a new path to embrace the questions of our lives instead of seeking fast, easy answers.What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night?&nbsp;Many people, understandably, seize answers dispensed by “experts,”&nbsp;influencers, gurus, and more. But these fast, easy, one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers?&nbsp;Inspired by 150-year-old advice from Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke and backed by contemporary science, Elizabeth Weingarten offers a fresh approach for dealing with these seemingly unsolvable questions. In her quest, Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of many others, whose lives have transformed through a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty.Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, and drained,&nbsp;How to Fall in Love with Questions&nbsp;challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self-discovery that’s only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don’t know what will happen next.

A New Way to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty

How to Fall in Love with Questions

AN INSTANT USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLERFrom the author of the&nbsp;Wall Street Journal&nbsp;bestseller&nbsp;Barking Up the Wrong Tree&nbsp;comes a cure-all for our increasing emotional distance and loneliness—a smart, surprising, and thoroughly entertaining guide to help build better friendships, reignite love, and get closer to others, whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, socially adept or socially anxious.Can you judge a book by its cover?&nbsp;Is a friend in need truly a friend indeed?&nbsp;Does love conquer all?&nbsp;Is no man an island?&nbsp;In&nbsp;Plays Well with Others,&nbsp;Eric Barker dives into these age-old maxims drawing on science to reveal the truth beyond the conventional wisdom about human relationships. Combining his compelling storytelling and humor, Barker explains what hostage negotiation techniques and marital arguments have in common, how an expert con-man lied his way into a twenty-year professional soccer career, and why those holding views diametrically opposed to our own actually have the potential to become our closest, most trusted friends.Inside you will learn:<ul><li>The two things essential to making friends – and what Dale Carnegie got wrong.</li><li>What creates love, reignites love, and sustains love. (There’s no Build-A-Bear store for a happy marriage but this is close.)</li><li>The ethical and effective way to get your partner to change.</li><li>How social media can actually improve relationships.</li><li>The antidote to loneliness and why what we usually hear doesn’t work.</li></ul>And so much more.&nbsp;The book is packed with high-five-worthy stories about the greatest female detective to ever live, the most successful liar to ever open his mouth, genius horses, thieving hermits, the perils of perfect memories, and placebos.&nbsp;Leveraging the best evidence available—free of platitudes or magical thinking—Barker analyzes multiple sides of an issue before rendering his verdict. What he’s uncovered is surprising, counterintuitive, and timely—and will change the way you interact in the world and with those around you just when you need it most.

The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships Is (Mostly) Wrong

Plays Well with Others

An urgent examination of self-silencing culture and the toxic impact of groupthink, by the author of Divergent Mind and founder of The Neurodiversity Project. Nerenberg empowers readers with tools to understand the mind and navigate an increasingly polarized world, from campuses and workplaces, to the media and beyond.Connected across geography and culture via the internet, the world is both a vast, limitless landscape and an ever-shrinking echo chamber. Communication, especially discourse over free speech, is becoming increasingly divisive; one person’s right to speak comes into conflict with another seeking to prevent harm. Our tolerance for differing opinions is also narrowing. A “wrong” remark or comment, no matter how seemingly innocent, can result in banishment, and contradictory ideas spark hysteria and backlash—what is referred to as “cancel culture.” This polarization affects everyone of us—among friends and families, workplaces and communities—and threatens the fabric of society.In this timely book, Jenara Nerenberg analyzes this phenomenon of “self-silencing,” asking potent questions about how harmful groupthink has become accepted. Applying her expertise in journalism, psychology, and public health, she digs deep into urgent problems that are worsening under a culture of self-censorship, including loneliness, isolation, and polarization.But there is hope. Nerenberg offers insights for how to identify and escape groupthink and transform fear into empathy, allowing space for authentic communication that reduces—rather than causes—harm to others.

Embracing Nuance in a World of Self-Silencing

Trust Your Mind

New York Times&nbsp;Bestseller&nbsp;An intimate and evocative memoir one woman’s experience with the universality of grief and the redemptive power of love as she endures her husband’s 84-day battle with lung cancer.When Steph Catudal met her husband Rivs, she thought that the love, stability, and warmth she shared with her husband had finally dispelled her pent-up anger and grief over the loss of her father and her faith. But when Rivs became ill and was put into coma at the height of the pandemic, the painful memories of her childhood—watching her father die of cancer—came flooding back.Written with lush lyricism, Steph’s account of how this crisis forced her to confront her past is raw, illuminating, and heartbreaking: her father’s death that wrecked her faith in God and jumpstarted a decade of rebellion, including running away from home and living out of a van at age 16, struggling with alcoholism, and delving into drugs to ease her pain. Sitting by Rivs's bedside, she grappled with the memories of the past and the uncertainties of the future while reckoning with the unknowns of her husband’s illness. Rivs would endure a grueling 84 days in a medically induced coma, eventually undergoing chemo for a similar illness that stole her father.Like Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, and Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H Mart, Everything All At Once is a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting reflection on resilience and a powerful reminder that we can find healing no matter how broken we are.

A Memoir

Everything All at Once

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLERConflict management expert Robert C. Bordone and leading behavioral neurologist Joel Salinas, M.D., join forces to introduce&nbsp;conflict resilience: the radical science of standing strong in the face of conflict and breaking the bad habits that sabotage our politics,&nbsp;workplaces, and most important relationships.Conflict is getting the better of us.From our homes and community centers to C-Suites and Congress, disagreements are happening everywhere, with increasing frequency, and are being treated like winner-takes-all debates rather than as opportunities for conversation and positive change. This puts a tremendous and untenable strain on our most important relationships and institutions.Unable&nbsp;or unwilling to handle conflict with skill, we ignore it or avoid it for as long as possible; when we are forced to face it, everyday disagreements and temporary flare-ups rapidly escalate to a fever pitch. Neither approach addresses underlying issues, promotes stronger relationships, or yields satisfying results.But there is a solution: a combined skill- and mindset that Bordone calls conflict resilience: the ability to not only sit with and grow from disagreement, but to find new ways to communicate with authority and confidence without others feeling left unheard.&nbsp;In this powerful, hopeful book, Bordone, an internationally-recognized negotiator, former professor, and Senior Fellow at Harvard Law School, and Joel Salinas, M.D., a cutting-edge scientist from Harvard Medical School, combine the inner mechanics of conflict—literally what’s going on in our bodies and our brains during moments of distress—to produce a groundbreaking guide for how to navigate it, including:<ul><li>How to get out of your own way as a communicator</li><li>Understanding the importance of timing</li><li>How to embrace disagreement as an advantage</li><li>Learning how to anticipate and manage defensiveness</li><li>And more!</li></ul>Conflict Resilience&nbsp;provides scientifically proven tools to help you drive agreement when possible, and empower you, when agreement is impossible, to strengthen your ability to speak in conflict and withstand the stress of doing so.In these polarized times, when consensus, agreement, and problem-solving often feel elusive or even downright pointless, conflict resilience becomes the key to move forward. This book serves as a guidebook to bring people together, and an invitation to radically transform how we interact with our friends and families, our coworkers, our students, and our neighbors.
