There Is Life After the Nobel Prize

Eric R. Kandel

One day in 1996, the neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel took a call from his program officer at the National Institute of Mental Health, who informed him that he had been awarded a key grant. Also, the officer said, he and his colleagues thought Kandel would win the Nobel Prize. "I hope not soon," Kandel's wife, Denise, said when she heard this. Sociologists had found that Nobel Prize winners often did not contribute much more to science, she explained. 
 
 
 
In this book, Kandel recounts his remarkable career since receiving the Nobel in 2000—or his experience of proving to his wife that he was not yet "completely dead intellectually." Kandel relates how the Nobel Prize gave him the opportunity to reach a far larger audience, which in turn allowed him to discover and pursue new directions. He describes his efforts to promote public understanding of science and to put brain science and art into conversation with each other. Kandel also discusses his return to Austria, which he had fled as a child, and observes Austria's coming to terms with the Nazi period. Showcasing Kandel's accomplishments, erudition, and wit, There Is Life After the Nobel Prize is a candid account of the working life of an acclaimed scientist.

Staying Married is the Hardest...

Bonnie Comfort

Can a loving relationship endure career setbacks, infidelities, and mismatched sexual desires? This is the question psychologist Bonnie Comfort grapples with as she navigates her unpredictable thirty-year marriage to Hollywood screenwriter Bob, while she provides marital therapy to others.
Bob is affectionate, brilliant, and hilarious—but his sexual desires are incompatible with Bonnie’s. Despite her misgivings, she indulges his kinks, which often included photographing her in lingerie. Their Hollywood life is exciting, but eventually Bob’s growing career frustrations lead to his complete sexual shutdown. Tensions rise, and Bob suggests Bonnie have discreet affairs and not tell him. She does just that—but when she confesses her infidelities five years later, his sexual demands become more extreme. When she complies, Bonnie feels shame; when she refuses, as she increasingly does, their fights threaten to tear their marriage apart.

Bonnie understands the rhythm of disconnection and repair that is common in love relationships. As we follow the journey of her own life, she shares with the reader the nature of intimacy, distance and expectations placed on long-term love. With honesty and vulnerability, she recounts the passionate highs and lows of her own marriage which sadly ends with Bob’s death. As she grieves, Bonnie reflects on her role in their marital struggles and offers profound insights about marriage from her personal and professional experience. Her story lays bare the complexities of love, the ongoing challenges women face in intimate relationships, and how even difficult marriages can find a way to thrive.

Six Dimes and a Nickel - Life...

Damon West

From a life-sentence to a global inspiration, Six Dimes and a Nickel introduces the principles and stories that allowed Damon West to rewrite his narrative and become one of the greatest underdog triumphs of all time.
Damon West was a promising college athlete and Division 1 starting quarterback when a career-ending injury incited his struggle with drug abuse. Once he was introduced to methamphetamines, he became instantly hooked. The lives of many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit. By 2009, a Dallas jury had sentenced him to sixty-five years—a life sentence—for engaging in organized crime. Or, in prison slang, he got six dimes and a nickel. It was a RICO case, of which he was the ringleader.
Inside the suffocating walls of a Texas maximum-security prison, fighting for his life and sanity, he found grit, courage, and determination to make a change. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery and a renewed sense of faith, Damon transformed so thoroughly that the parole board released him in 2015, placing him on parole until 2073. Since then, he’s become a highly sought-after speaker, bestselling author, husband, and stepfather, college professor, philanthropist, and an extremely successful entrepreneur.
If you want to not only make a change in your life, but discover how to maintain that change and become the best version of yourself, then you’ve come to the right place. The principles and stories in this book are the blueprint for how Damon rewrote his story and, if applied, how you can rewrite yours.
