Life's work : a memoir / by Milch, David,1945-author.;
""I feel like I'm on a boat sailing to some island where I don't know anybody. I'm on a boat someone is operating and we aren't in touch." So begins David Milch's urgent accounting of his increasingly strange present and often painful past. From the start, Milch's life seems destined to echo that of his father, a successful if drug-addicted surgeon. Almost every achievement is accompanied by an act of self-immolation, but the deepest sadnesses also contain moments of grace. Betting on race horses and stealing booze at eight years old, mentored by Robert Penn Warren and excoriated by Richard Yates at twenty-one, Milch never did anything by half. He got into Yale Law only to be expelled for shooting out street lights with a shotgun. He paused his studies at the Iowa Writers' Workshop to manufacture acid in Cuernavaca. He created and wrote some of the biggest, most lauded television series of all time, made a family and pursued sobriety, and then lost his fortune betting horses just as his father had taught him"--

The work wife : a novel / by Hart, Alison B.,author.;
Three fierce women connected to a billionaire film mogul collide at a Hollywood party in this richly observed novel about female ambition, complicity, and privilege. Zanne Klein never planned to be a personal assistant to Hollywood royalty Ted and Holly Stabler. But a decade in at thirty-eight, that's exactly how she spends her days, earning six figures to make sure the movie mogul and his family have everything they could ever dream of and more. However, today is no ordinary day at the Stabler estate. Tonight, everyone who's anyone will be there for the Hollywood event of the season, and if the party's a success, that chief of staff job Zanne's been chasing may soon be hers. Which means she can buy a house, give her girlfriend the life she deserves, pay off her student loans. Nothing's going to get in Zanne's way-not disgruntled staff, not a nosy reporter, not even a runaway hostess. But when Ted's former business partner, Phoebe Lee, unexpectedly shows up right before go time, Zanne suddenly has a catastrophe unfolding before her-one with explosive consequences. As the truth comes out and Zanne realizes how deeply entangled she's become in the Stablers' world, she must decide if the sacrifices she's made for the job are worth the moral price she has to pay.

Well at work : creating wellbeing in any workspace / by Sternberg, Esther M.,author.;
"Until recently, few of us thought much about the effects our physical workspace might have on our minds and bodies. COVID-19 changed all that. Suddenly, the office became a danger zone where crowded rooms, contaminated surfaces, and poor ventilation systems increased our risk of infection. Yet it wasn't until we returned to the office after a prolonged period of working from home that most of us became acutely aware of how the environment around us was adversely affecting our energy levels and mood, our ability to focus, and even our physical health. The good news, says integrative health and mind body science design pioneer Dr. Esther Sternberg, is healthy workplaces need not be a luxury. Through groundbreaking research and a trove of insightful stories, Well at Work reveals how the physical environment can either impair or improve our wellbeing across seven domains of integrative health -- stress, sleep, movement, relationships, nutrition, spirituality, and the air we breathe. Whether we work in a typical office building, a co working space, or in our spare bedroom turned home office, Dr. Sternberg shows how we can all design or adapt our workspace to enhance our comfort, productivity, health, and happiness, and to help us be -- and stay -- well at work"--
