Murder at the 42nd Street Library / by Lehane, Cornelius.;
Murder at the 42nd Street Library opens with a murder in a second floor office of the iconic, beaux-arts flagship of the New York Public Library. Ray Ambler, the curator of the library's crime fiction collection, joins forces with NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove in hopes of bringing a murderer to justice. In his search for the reasons behind the murder, Ambler uncovers hidden and profoundly disturbing relationships between visitors to the library. These include a celebrated mystery writer who has donated his papers to the library's crime fiction collection, that writer's missing daughter, a New York society woman with a hidden past, and one of Ambler's colleagues at the world-famous library. Those shocking revelations lead inexorably to the tragic and violent events that follow.

The brain at rest : how the art and science of doing nothing can improve your life / by Jebelli, Joseph,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A narrative exploration of the science of "doing nothing" and its astonishing benefits for the brain and body, from neuroscientist and author of How the Mind Changed Everything Dr. Joseph Jebelli. We are living in the age of burnout -- even in our quietest moments, we are busier than ever, overwhelmed, and unable to disconnect from work, relationships, and current events. We view productivity as good, and idleness as bad, yet the secret to enhancing intelligence, creativity, social empathy, and emotional processing lies in a single act -- doing nothing. In The Brain at Rest, Dr. Joseph Jebelli blends science, stories, and practical tips in a nuanced exploration of the "default network," a brain system that participates in daydreaming, reflective thinking, and visualizing the future. In doing so, he shows the benefits of harnessing this network, such as reducing chances of developing depression and dementia, and helps us put these findings into practice. Perfect for readers interested in science and creativity, or anyone feeling overwhelmed in their day-to-day life, The Brain at Rest is a deeply-researched and entertaining antidote to burnout that definitively proves how even 5 to 10 minutes of doing nothing can better our lives"--

The art of doing : a guide to getting motivated, getting unstuck and getting it done / by Lipscombe, Jesse,author.;
How to embrace a life of curiosity, action, and adventure while still mastering your to-do list. The answer is yes: when the default response is no, or maybe another time, choose yes and open yourself to more opportunities for growth. Let love lead--everyday: point your energy and focus toward what you love about what you're doing instead of focusing on avoiding potential negative outcomes; life will sort out all the details along the way. Move from "have" to "get": when you realize you don't have to do anything, you get to, you'll unlock a whole new world of gratitude for who and where you are right now. Embrace a lobster life: a lobster sheds its shell when there is no more room to grow and sprouts a new one; when you find yourself too comfortable, ditch your safety shell to grow a bigger one in its place. Do the next easiest: when you have an idea but feel overwhelmed by how big the undertaking might be, do the next easiest thing; no matter how daunting, you can always find the next easiest thing to keep your project moving forward. Follow your drum: we all have a deep reason, an inner beat, to why we want to do anything; when things get hard and you want to jump ship, tune in to that internal drum to keep on moving.
