THE INSPIRATION FOR THE CBS SERIES, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRADLEY COOPER
A burnout at thirty-five, months behind on his book, low on cash, and something of a loser, Eddie Spinola could use a shot in the arm. One day he randomly runs into Vernon, his ex-wife's brother, and his ex-dealer. Now employed by a shadowy pharmaceutical company, Vernon has something that might help: a new designer drug that stimulates brain function. One pill and Eddie is hooked. His book is finished within days; he learns and synthesizes information at a frightening rate; and he can go a long time without sleep or food. Naturally, he begins to play the stock market. But when Vernon turns up dead, Eddie makes off with the only stash of the drug in existence. Then come the side effects: black-outs, blinding headaches, and violent outbursts he can't seem to remember. Alan Glynn's Limitless is a high-concept thriller for this Adderall age, and a haunting meditation on the allure and the curse of human potential.

It's the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a "problem" with alcohol or not. After all, we yoga. We green juice. We meditate. We self-care. And yet, come the end of a long work day, the start of a weekend, an awkward social situation, we drink. One glass of wine turns into two turns into a bottle. In the face of how we care for ourselves otherwise, it's hard to avoid how alcohol really makes us feel... terrible.
How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Really different, it turns out. Really better. Frank, funny, and always judgment free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement.
Drawing on research, expert interviews, and personal narrative, Sober Curious is a radical take down of the myths that keep so many of us drinking. Inspiring, timely, and blame free, Sober Curious is both conversation starter and handbook--essential information that empowers listeners to transform their relationship with alcohol, so we can lead our most fulfilling lives.
Humanity is nearing a technological tipping point. The blistering pace of technological, scientific, and social change is ushering in an era in which human bodies merge with devices, corporations know everything about us, and artificial intelligence develops human and even godlike potential. In possession of the most powerful tools history has ever seen, we will be faced with questions about wisdom, authority, faith, desire, and what it means to be human.
In Braving the Future, Douglas Estes equips Christians to thoughtfully and prayerfully prepare for a future of technological reign that is rapidly expanding. Drawing on Scripture, Christian tradition, and scientific literature, Estes offers a theology of work, creation, and personhood that is both prophetic and sturdy enough to keep pace with the technology of a future as yet unknown. He helps readers choose trust in God over fearful retreat and following Jesus over uncritical engagement with technology. The future may not look exactly like a science fiction movie, but are we ready to brave a future of limitless tech and boundless change?
The face of the new sobriety movement and author of Material Girl, Mystical World returns with a groundbreaking guide that teaches us how to unlearn the habit of drinking and reveals how sobriety is a mindful, life-enhancing choice with enormous spiritual benefits, including greater joy, clarity, confidence, and connection.
Alcohol is intrinsic to American culture, from kegs at college parties and cocktails after work to wine at book club groups and beers at the stadium. Most of us who drink do so mindlessly: one glass of wine turns into two turns into a bottle. We may not have a "problem" with alcohol, but our drinking habits are contradictory to the healthful behaviors we want to cultivate, from choosing a plant-based diet to exercising and meditating. While alcohol can give us a temporary buzz--helping us feel loose and free--it ultimately makes us tired and queasy the morning after, depleting our confidence and natural enthusiasm for life. How different would your life be if you stopped drinking on autopilot? If you stopped drinking altogether?
Sober Curious provides the answer. Written in Ruby Warrington's nonjudgmental, witty, and warm voice and packed with concrete takeaways and prescriptive advice, Sober Curious demonstrates how alcohol is a weak imitation of the joy, inspiration, confidence, connection, and overall sense of aliveness that is cosmically generated from within. Combining journalism, research, expert interviews, and personal narrative, Ruby dismantles myths and helps you pursue your most fulfilling life--while offering a tantalizing glimpse of the well-being that awaits when you give up drinking. Warrington empowers you to enjoy exciting holidays, weddings, parties, and social outings without booze; to get through "sober firsts,"; and to navigate the diverse obstacles and pressures of our drinking culture. With Sober Curious you will learn to:
Overcome FOMA (Fear of Missing Alcohol)
Find a supportive Sober Curious crew
Commit to lifelong physical wellbeing
Build stronger relationships and friendships
Discover your innate confidence
Build mental fortitude and rebalance emotional wellbeing
Unearth your inspired self that will contribute something valuable to the world
Sober Curious is not about recovery. It is about finding your own path to a healthier relationship with alcohol, yourself, and the world around you--and radically transforming every area of your life.

Описание: Even within the context of the Underground BDSM Club, Joshua's desires are dark and extreme. Hopelessly addicted to pain and the high it gives him, he has no limits. Joshua would quite literally rather die than use a safeword, and he accepts that might be his fate. As much as he depends on others, he has yet to find a man who can gain his trust, and he has little hope that he ever will. For Nash, acquiring Joshua from another Dom at the club is only the first step in what will be a long and arduous road to lure the young man back from the brink of self-destruction. He must do the impossible and win Joshua's trust, and he must be the one to set limits in their exploration--something he's unaccustomed to as a Dom. But Nash knows dominance doesn't always mean pushing a submissive's boundaries. It's about establishing a bond and fulfilling another man's needs. In Joshua's case, he'll have to strike a balance between meeting the young man's expectations and drawing firm lines that will save Joshua from himself.
