Content: "Named a Top 10 Best Book of the Year by The New York Times , The Wall Street Journal , and The Atlantic A Washington Post Notable Book &ldquo,rave and nuanced&hellip,n act of tremendous compassion and a literary triumph.&rdquo, &mdash,/i〉 The New York Times &ldquo,mmensely emotional and unforgettably haunting.&rdquo, &mdash,/i〉 Wall Street Journal Acclaimed author Jonathan Rosen&rsquo, haunting investigation of the forces that led his closest childhood friend, Michael Laudor, from the heights of brilliant promise to the forensic psychiatric hospital where he has lived since killing the woman he loved. A story about friendship, love, and the price of self-delusion, The Best Minds explores the ways in which we understand&mdash,nd fail to understand&mdash,ental illness. When the Rosens moved to New Rochelle in 1973, Jonathan Rosen and Michael Laudor became inseparable.160 Both children of college professors, the boys were best friends and keen competitors, and, when they both got into Yale University, seemed set to join the American meritocratic elite. Michael blazed through college in three years, graduating summa cum laude and landing a top-flight consulting job. But all wasn&rsquo, as it seemed. One day, Jonathan received the call: Michael had suffered a serious psychotic break and was in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Michael was still in the hospital when he learned he'd been accepted to Yale Law School, and still battling delusions when he decided to trade his halfway house for the top law school in the country. He not only managed to graduate, but after his extraordinary story was featured in The New York Times , sold160 a memoir for a large sum. Ron Howard bought film rights, completing the dream for Michael and his tirelessly supportive girlfriend Carrie. But then Michael, in the grip of an unshakeable paranoid fantasy, stabbed Carrie to death with a kitchen knife and became a front-page story of an entirely different sort. The Best Minds is Jonathan Rosen's brilliant and heartbreaking account of an American tragedy. It is a story about the bonds of family, friendship, and community,the promise of intellectual achievement,and the lure of utopian solutions. Tender, funny, and harrowing by turns, at times almost unbearably sad, The Best Minds is an extreme version of a story that is tragically familiar to all too many.160 In the hands of a writer of Jonathan Rosen's gifts and dedication, its significance will echo widely."

Content: " In this heartfelt and soul-searching work, brimming with warmth, humor, and insight, the beloved Guardian columnist spends a year exploring how to pursue a rich and meaningful life, turning to the wisdom of the Stoics for insights into the deepest questions of existence.Like many people today, Brigid Delaney was searching for answers to timeless questions: How can we be good? Find inner peace? Properly grieve? Tame our insecurities, such as the fear of missing out? Determine what truly matters? Centuries ago, the Stoics pondered many of these same questions. And so, at an important inflection point in her own life, Brigid decided to let these ancient philosophers be her guide. Brigid is rash where the Stoics are logical,she runs on chaos, while the Stoics relinquish control of things beyond their reach. Over the course of a year, she dedicated herself to following the wisdom of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. She hoped to discover how best to live8212 how she could use the wisdom of these ancient thinkers to navigate life in the modern world. In Reasons Not to Worry, Brigid shares what she learned, showing us how we, too, can draw on the Stoics to regain a sense of agency and tranquility and find meaning in our lives. From learning to relinquish control to cultivating daily awareness of our mortality to building community, Brigid's insights are very funny and very wise. Stoicism can be a tough medicine to swallow, but no longer. Thoughtful, timely, surprisingly practical, and filled to the brim with ways to learn how best to be in the world, Delaney's guide provides compelling and sensible reasons not to worry. "

Content: " Brought to you by Penguin. Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be? Well . Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm around is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor. Fortunately, there's help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team, including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie, Ellen the Shepherd and Gerald, his Head of Security and Dry Stone Waller. Between them they enthusiastically cultivate crops, rear livestock and hens, keep bees, bottle spring water and open a farm shop. But profits remain elusive. And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence .

Content: " Brought to you by Penguin. 'We see with everything that we are' On the morning of 12 October 1654, in the Dutch city of Delft, a sudden explosion was followed by a thunderclap that could be heard more than seventy miles away. Carel Fabritius - now known across the world for his exquisite painting, The Goldfinch - had been at work in his studio. He, along with many others, would not survive the day. In Thunderclap , Laura Cumming reveals her passion for the art of the Dutch Golden Age and her determination to lift up the reputation of Fabritius. She reveals the Netherlands, where - wandering the narrow streets of Amsterdam, driving across the flatlands, or pausing at a quiet waterfront - she encounters the rich reality behind the shining beauty of Vermeer and Rembrandt, Hals and de Hooch. She shares too her relationship with her father, the Scottish artist James Cumming, who had his own deep connection to Dutch painting, and who taught her about colour, light and the rewards of looking deeply. This is a book about what a picture may come to mean: how it can enter your life and change your thinking in a thunderclap, a sudden clarity of sight. This is also a book about the precariousness of human life - the way it may be snatched from us in an instant. What can art do to sustain us? The work that survives tells its own compelling story in these pages. _____________________ From the Sunday Times -bestselling author of On Chapel Sands , shortlisted for the Costa Prize for Biography.

Among the casualties was Carel Fabritius (1622–1654), an apprentice to Rembrandt whose best-known paintings are The Goldfinch and A View of Delft . As Cumming, who counts Fabritius as one of her favorite artists, recreates what she can of his life and work and surveys other Dutch masters she admires—Rembrandt, Ter Borch, De Hooch, Ruisdael, Van Goyen—she seamlessly intertwines memories of her Scottish childhood and her artist father, James Cumming (1922–1991), whom she credits with teaching her how to look and see. In this elegant and luminous work, Cumming writes with deep feeling and knowledge about how “pictures can shore you up, remind you who you are and what you stand for.” Art lovers will be enthralled.

The Thunderclap, a massive explosion in a gunpowder store, killed the artist Carel Fabritius, known for his painting THE GOLDFINCH. Cumming's sometimes emotional performance weaves her personal memories of her father, an artist, with her fascination for the Dutch people who are immortalized in the many fine art masterpieces that show the details of everyday life. Her enthusiasm for her subject is apparent in her narration as she explores the impact a painting can have on the viewer's life. The memory of Fabritius, who died suddenly, lives forever through THE GOLDFINCH, which survived the explosion but bears traces of damage. J.E.S. � AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine"

Content: " From award-winning TV writer Laura Belgray, a hilarious collection of full-body-cringe, watch-through-your-fingers life lessons her own husband calls loser Sex and the City . What does it take to grow up cool and popular, master adulthood, fast track your success, and always be your best? Laura Belgray wouldn't know. Her wildly relatable coming-of-age stories include hate-following her 6th grade bully on social media decades later,moving home post-college to measure her self-worth in hookups with Upper West Side bartenders,dating a sociopathic man-baby,proving herself in the early '90s at New York's coolest magazine (as the world's worst intern),falling for get-rich-quick schemes on the Internet,and, most of all, saying tough titties to the supposed-to's in life: driving a car, being on time, handing in your paperwork, learning to roast a chicken, and having kids. Peppered with cutting insights on our confusing, self-helpy culture that calls hair removal self care and tells us to give our 110% but also to give zero f*cks, Tough Titties will leave you feeling better about, well, everything. Let's face it: we're all tired of shame-spiraling after being told what to do when we know we're not going to do any of it. Tough Titties is one big permission slip to be a dork, a sometimes-unspiritual slacker, a late bloomer and, ultimately, 100% yourself. It'll also have you snort-laughing in public and tapping whoever's nearby to say, Lemme read you one more part! Which is annoying, but tough titties. Nobody makes me laugh like Laura Belgray. She's got a one-of-a kind knack for taking the shame out of life's most humiliating moments. Tough Titties is a hilarious, must-read permission slip to be 100% you. 8212 Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything is Figureoutable "

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 17, 2023 Belgray mines her past for life lessons in her humorous if disorganized debut. Bouncing around her life at random, Belgrade writes of failed efforts to fit in at her old-money high school by trying too hard (“Don’t be a climber,” she advises), her strained relationship with food throughout childhood and adulthood, and meeting her husband “during a phase of rock-bottom self-esteem” while he had a girlfriend and she was “clinging to a desperate relationship with a cheating sadsack.” She also charts her professional path from a post-college bartending gig to spots writing promo copy for VH1 and Nickelodeon to owning her own copywriting agency. The narrative is interwoven with sometimes-awkward quips, including one about how two failed breast reductions serve as a reminder to “grow everyday... don’t let anyone keep you small.” In that vein, the advice portion of the book definitely takes a backseat to her humorous retellings, and some chapters end without any real reflection at all. Those seeking actionable wisdom should look elsewhere, but this will resonate with misfits looking for a laugh and some understanding."
