- If You Don't Like This, I Will Die. by Tilghman, Lee.;
Lee Tilghman - also known as @LeeFromAmerica - was one of the first wellness influencers. But behind her posts, Tilghman was suffocating from the demand of keeping up her online facade. 'If You Dont Like This I Will Die' is a critique of the influencer economy and a relatable story for anyone who has struggled with the unreasonableness of online expectations. With over half of Gen Z aspiring to be influencers, nearly three out of five teen girls experiencing persistent sadness and hopelessness, and the US Surgeon General calling for a social media warning label, Tilghmans memoir couldnt be more timely and necessary.Library Bound Incorporated- Subjects: BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs; BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women; SOCIAL SCIENCE / Technology Studies;

- The Way of the Hermit My Incredible 40 Years Living in the Wilderness [electronic resource] : by Smith, Ken.aut; Millard, Will.; cloudLibrary;
Subconsciously, I pressed myself into the loch's banks as that summer inched forward. We'd got off to a rocky beginning, but I started to see Treig in a different way. There was something about this land that told me just to hold on a while longer. It might've been just a whisper at the time, but I knew it was definitely worth heeding. I just knew that was it. This was the place. Seventy-four-year-old Ken Smith has spent the past four decades in the Scottish Highlands. His home is a log cabin nestled near Loch Treig, known as "the lonely loch," where he lives off the land. He fishes for his supper, chops his own wood and even brews his own tipple. He is, in the truest sense of the word, a hermit. From his working-class origins in Derbyshire, Ken always sensed that there was more ot life than an empty nine to five. Then one day in 1974, an attack from a group of drunken men left him for dead. Determined to change his prospects, Ken quit his job and spent his formative years traveling in the Yukon. It was here, in the vast wilderness of northwestern Canada, that he honed his survival skills and grew closer to nature. Returning to Britain, he continued his nomadic lifestyle, wandering north and living in huts until he finally reached Loch Treig. Ken decided to lay his roots amongst the dense woodland and Highland air, and has lived there ever since. In The Way of the Hermit, Ken shares the remarkable story of his lfe for the very first time. Told with humor and compassion, his unique insights allow us to glimpse the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature and offer wisdom on how each of us can escape the pressures and stresses of modern life.General adult.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Adventurers & Explorers; Regional; Personal Memoirs;

- Accidentally on purpose : a memoir / by Kish, Kristen,1983-author.; Ferrari, Stef,author.;
"Kristen Kish never set out to live a public life -- not when she was a carefree softball-tossing kid, not in high school working at a pretzel stand, not even, briefly, as a working model. And definitely not when she finally landed her true calling as a chef. But in those early days, becoming a chef meant tethering oneself to a restaurant, not a television set. But it happened naturally (or as naturally as possible, given all the technology and TV magic involved), even if it was totally unanticipated. Of course, like most things in life, the road to this full circle moment -- from Top Chef season 10 winner to now hosting -- was so much more winding and complicated than it may have appeared from the outside. From growing up as an adoptee in the Midwest, to trying to fit in with all the other girls who were busy dating boys, to coming out and finding love when she least expected it, Kristen learned that, unlike a map, no set of plans or definitions can dictate or explain a life. In fact, accidents happen. That curveballs will come. And they will often be consequential to one's path. In Accidentally on Purpose, what defines Kristen's story aren't the missteps or even the pleasant surprises that crop up. It's how to respond when they do, and the decisions made at those intersections. Because while accidents may be unexpected, they don't have to be at odds with purpose. And as Kristen approaches life's milestones, big and small, with intention -- the ones she expected, and those she didn't -- she realizes she can write her own definitions and chart her own course"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Kish, Kristen, 1983-; Korean American adoptees; Lesbians; Women cooks;
