  A Guide to Making Decisions, Then Changing Your Mind 47 Times 
  🚨 WARNING: This is NOT a book for decisive people. If you know what you want in life and confidently make choices without having a full-blown existential meltdown, please move along. 
  This book is for overthinkers, procrastinators, and chronically indecisive disasters who would rather launch themselves into the sun than commit to literally anything. If you’ve ever: 
  ✔️ Spent an hour picking a movie, only to give up and rewatch The Office. 
  ✔️ Polled multiple friends about a minor decision, then ignored their advice. 
  ✔️ Stared at a restaurant menu like it was a life-or-death situation. 
  ✔️ Regretted a choice the second you made it. 
  ✔️ Overanalyzed a text message for so long that you never sent it. 
  Congratulations—you have Decision Paralysis, and this book will make you feel seen. 
  Inside, you’ll find absolutely zero useful strategies for overcoming indecision, but you will get: 
  A breakdown of why your brain refuses to let you make choices like a normal person. 
  An in-depth look at why picking a dinner spot with friends always ends in silent rage. 
  A highly scientific decision-making flowchart (spoiler: you still won’t pick anything). 
  A chance to laugh at your own dysfunction instead of actually fixing it. 
  So, should you buy this book? 
  🤔 Yes. 
  🤔 No. 
  🤔 Maybe. 
  🤔 Let me think about it first. 
  (You’ll probably just add it to your cart and stare at it for six weeks, but hey—at least that’s on brand.)

  Don't Forget to Flush is John Eaton's second collection of humorous verse. It is an eclectic collection of poems that will make you laugh, ponder, and perhaps rethink your worldview - all from the comfort of the "small room".   
   
  Eaton sees the world through a unique lens. His work spans topics far and wide: the quirks of human nature, the wonders of the natural world, the nuances of politics, and the intricacies of relationships. You'll enjoy his mischievous pen as he skewers pretension, roots for the underdog, and manages to take on current events with a wink and a nod.  
   
  This latest collection includes 116 amusing and creative poems.  Examples include:  
   
  Billly and Benny (the Flowerpot Men-ny), a tribute to terracotta friends; 
   
  Jackboot and Jillboot - lighthearted odes to his-and-hers' footwear; 
   
  The collection also tackles national news with cheeky humour.  
   
  "Barnard Castle is the place to be, 
  A pleasant journey for my family 
  Where I can quarantine flexibly 
  To test my eyesight specifically." 
  (continued).' 
   
  And things that are neither here or there ... 
   
  "I went to a rendezvous to see Ron Devue. 
  I thought I had deja vu but jamais vu."

  Acclaimed writer David Smart illuminates the fascinating life of Royal Robbins—in all its soulful ambition, rivalry, and romance. Royal Robbins chronicles his early years growing up as a latchkey kid in Southern California, the push and pull between being an aspiring banker or one of the original Camp 4 dirtbags, and his later decades as a father, husband, kayaker, and the trailblazing founder of the outdoor apparel company that bears his name. This intimate, colorful tour of climbing history covering Yosemite, the Tetons, the Gunks, the Alps, the United Kingdom, and more from the 1960s onward features star characters such as Liz Robbins—Robbins's wife and a pioneering adventurer in her own right—Yvon Chouinard, John Harlin, Steve Roper, Warren Harding, Tom Frost, and Doug Tompkins. 
   
   
   
  An important addition to our knowledge of the Golden Age of rock climbing in Yosemite and the development of the clean climbing ethos, Royal Robbins sheds new light on an elemental figure of outdoor culture.

  Tequila Wars - Jose Cuervo and...

  Ted Genoways

  At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
   
   
   
  In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
   
   
   
  The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.
