Be a triangle : how I went from being lost to getting my life into shape / by Singh, Lilly,1988-author.; Patel, Simmi,illustrator.;
"An honest, funny, and inspiring primer on learning to "come home" to your truest and happiest self from the New York Times bestselling author of How to Be a Bawse. With the signature blend of vulnerability, wisdom, and humor that has endeared her to millions of fans, Lilly Singh offers a fresh take on how to feel fulfilled and find happiness in the face of life's challenges. Everyone knows that sometimes, life just sucks--Lilly's new book is here to provide a safe space where readers can learn how to create a sense of peace within themselves independent of external markers of success. Chatty and profound, spunky and real as hell, Singh is the perfect confidant, pep-talk-giver, and deep diver into how meditation, self-acceptance, our relationships and true gratitude can improve our lives. Without sugarcoating what it's like to face adversity--including Lilly's intensely personal struggles with identity, success, and self-doubt--this book teaches readers to "unsubscribe" from cookie-cutter ideals and to let go of societal expectations for what success looks like. Lilly instructs her readers to "be a triangle:" you must build a solid foundation for your life, one that can be built upon, but never fundamentally changed or destroyed. As Lilly puts it, we must always find a way to come home to ourselves -- "we must create a place, a set of beliefs, a simple set of priorities to come back to should life lead us astray, which it will." Like a wise, empathetic friend who always keeps you honest, Lilly pushes you to adjust your mindset and change the conversations you have with yourself. The result is a deeply humane, entertaining, and uplifting guide to befriending yourself and becoming a true "miracle for the world.""--

In this faulty machine : a memoir of loss and transformation / by Page, Kathy,1958-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."An exquisite memoir of the author's life since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease -- informative, funny, and moving all at once. Acclaimed novelist Kathy Page had just completed a promotional tour for her award-winning book Dear Evelyn when a fall during a hike injured her wrist. That relatively minor accident seemed to set in motion a waterfall of other seemingly unrelated physical issues. Many months of appointments, and of waiting for appointments (including during the COVID lockdown) ensued, until the day that pulled everything together in a single, frightening diagnosis: Parkinson's disease. In This Faulty Machine is an eye-opening, often lyrical and very funny report from that "other kingdom" of illness, from an observant, wise, and honest involuntary resident. Kathy Page's warm, acute, welcoming voice draws us into the erratic, intimate, and troubling effects of the disease and its impact on her relationships alongside the pleasures of family, friends, reading, writing, and the natural world. In this one-of-a-kind memoir, Kathy Page offers a thoughtful exploration of the complex and evolving science of this debilitating disease, a gripping account of the various ways that it impacts both PWP (People with Parkinson's) and their families. The book is also a unique look into the creative process of a life-long novelist who finds that she can no longer create in the way she has for decades. This wise and warm book makes an important contribution to the understanding of Parkinson's disease but is also a rich and heartfelt memoir of creativity and a life being well-lived, even as the challenges mount. It is a story of vital interest to us all as we face our own fragility, and indeed, mortality"--

The Nazi menace : Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, and the road to war / by Hett, Benjamin Carter,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Berlin, November 1937. In a secret meeting with his top advisors, Adolf Hitler proclaims the urgent necessity for a war of aggression in Europe. Some conservatives are unnerved by this grandiose plan, but they are soon silenced, setting in motion events that will lead to the most calamitous war in history. Benjamin Carter Hett, the author of The Death of Democracy, his acclaimed history of the fall of the Weimar Republic, takes us from Berlin to London, Moscow, and Washington to show how anti-Nazi forces inside and outside Germany came to understand Hitler's true menace to European civilization and learned to oppose him. Drawing on original sources in German, English, French, and Russian, including newly released intelligence documents, he paints a sweeping portrait of governments under siege, populated by larger-than-life figures like Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Neville Chamberlain, Franklin Roosevelt, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Vyacheslav Molotov. The Nazi Menace evokes a time when the verities of life were subverted, a time marked by fake news, cultural unrest over refugees, and the challenges of national security in a consumerist democracy. To read Hett's book is to see the 1930s-and our world today-in a new and unnerving light."--
