- The house of my mother : a daughter's quest for freedom / by Franke, Shari,author.;
- Shari Franke's childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface -- Ruby's wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family's YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby's delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: "Finally." For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family's devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt's cultish life coaching program, "ConneXions." No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother's cruelty.

- Data baby : my life in a psychological experiment / by Breslin, Susannah,author.;
- "What if your parents turn you into a human lab rat when you're a child? Will that change the story of your life? Will that change who you are? When Susannah Breslin is a toddler, her parents enroll her in an exclusive laboratory preschool at the University of California, Berkeley, where she becomes one of over a hundred children who are research subjects in an unprecedented 30-year study of personality development that predicts who she and her cohort will grow up to be. Decades later, trapped in what she feels is an abusive marriage and battling breast cancer, she starts to wonder how growing up under a microscope shaped her identity and life choices. Already a successful journalist, she makes her own curious history the subject of her next investigation. From experiment rooms with one-way mirrors, to children's puzzles with no solutions, to condemned basement laboratories, her life-changing journey uncovers the long-buried secrets hidden behind the renowned study. The question at the gnarled heart of her quest: Did the study know her better than she knew herself? At once bravely honest and sharply witty, Data Baby is a compelling and provocative account of a woman's quest to find her true self, and an unblinking exploration of why we turn out as we do. Few people in all of history have been studied from such a young age and for as long as Susannah Breslin, but the message of her book is universal. In an era when so many of us are looking to technology to tell us who to be, it's up to us to discover who we actually are"--

- Generation Flex. by Newton, Dorenna,film director.; Collective Eye Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
- Originally produced by Collective Eye Films in 2024.THERE'S SOMETHING BIG going on with boys.Maybe you've seen an influx of teenagers at your local gym. Maybe you've noticed more kids carrying around blender bottles. Maybe you've even witnessed the social media phenomenon that is a teenage fitness influencer. What's big with boys right now is getting huge. Jacked arms. Swole chests. Chiseled abs. Spurred by intense pressure and unattainable body standards, boys are risking their physical and mental health to build muscle and lose weight. We know this because for the last year Men's Health followed the stories of four young teens in their quests to bulk up and get cut. What we found was a dark world of social media manipulation, shady supplements, and very real consequences. And we talked to the top experts in the country—from behavioral health researchers to emergency clinicians—for their insights and advice. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, coach, or kid (and, actually, especially if you're a kid), GENERATION FLEX is a warning shot to the dangers of excessive exercise, fit-fluencer culture, and supplement overuse.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
