  A week-by-week account of the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a different kind of health care front line worker—a marketing leader—at one of the nation’s and world’s leading health care systems.  
  "This candid collection of daily emails from a health industry insider offers a unique glimpse at the daily realities of working during Covid. From pandemic fatigue to staycations and Thanksgivings on Zoom, these stories will take you back to a time you might want to forget. Despite the understandable urge to leave the pandemic behind, Comeau proves that sometimes looking back can not only be therapeutic ... it might offer exactly the perspective we all need to continue to move forward too."  
  - Rohit Bhargava, WSJ Bestselling Author of Non-Obvious Thinking + Non-Obvious Megatrends 
  During the early stages of coronavirus, Amy Moudy Comeau, MBA, an award-winning and acclaimed marketing executive, began writing weekly emails to her Emory Healthcare marketing team every Friday, as a form of encouragement and support to get them through eight weeks of shelter-in-place, which turned into a three-year pandemic. 
  Amy’s Friday emails became a weekly tradition, providing support and even levity during this transformational time. Years later, these time-stamped entries, along with present-day commentary from the author giving insight and hindsight reflections on the pandemic, leadership, self-care and marketing, provide a unique snapshot back into those “unprecedented” days of the pandemic.  
  Every Storm Runs Out of Rain gives insightful lessons on leadership and resilience, and finding the silver lining in the middle of a crisis.

  Looking for an advantage in an unfair world? 
  The rules of poker tell you how to play—but not how to win. You win by bluffing, looking for your opponent’s tells, remembering cards, and intimidation. So why is it that in business we spend so much time teaching the rules, and so little finding new ways to win? 
  For the last decade, expert in strategic communications Emily Ross and bestselling business author Alistair Croll have studied hundreds of brands, start-ups, leaders, and activists that employed an unfair advantage to conquer their competition. Here they offer an insight into their innovative go-to-market strategy in an attention economy that they call Just Evil Enough. 
  Packed with fascinating case studies that will inspire your inner supervillain, Just Evil Enough includes practical frameworks like the Recon Canvas and the Long Funnel, along with eleven fundamental tactics such as Reframing, Bait-and-Switch, and Misappropriation that show up time and again when underdogs challenge the status quo and reinvent their industries. 
  Revealing the secrets and mindset of some of the best subversive marketers in the business, Just Evil Enough is the essential handbook for anyone who wants to cut through the noise and stride ahead in the attention economy.

  Mindfulness-Based Cognitive...

  Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an innovative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques to address mental health challenges and enhance mental clarity. Developed as a preventative intervention for depression relapse, MBCT has grown in popularity and application across various mental health contexts due to its effectiveness in cultivating awareness and emotional resilience. 
  At its core, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices—rooted in ancient meditative traditions—with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with a sense of openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being swept away by them. When combined with cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns, MBCT provides a powerful framework for managing psychological distress. 
  The origins of MBCT trace back to the pioneering work of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. Inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, these researchers sought to adapt mindfulness techniques specifically for individuals prone to recurrent episodes of depression. Over time, MBCT has demonstrated significant benefits not only in preventing depression relapse but also in treating anxiety, stress, and other mood disorders.

  X-MEN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The X-Men are a superhero team created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in 1963. They are mutants, humans born with superhuman abilities, facing prejudice and fighting against various enemies. The team was initially canceled due to low sales but revived in 1975. The Claremont era (1975-1991) saw the team become Marvel's top-selling comic. Key storylines include the "Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past". The X-Men have had many team rosters, and faced several schisms, deaths, and resurrections. In 2019, the Krakoan Age saw mutants form their own nation on the island of Krakoa, until the fall of Krakoa led to the X-Men scattering across the planet. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The X-Men were created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, and they first appeared in The X-Men #1 in September 1963. The team was initially canceled in 1970 due to low sales but became one of Marvel's most successful franchises after its 1975 revival.  
    
  Mutants in the Marvel Universe are humans born with a genetic trait called the X-gene, which grants them natural superhuman abilities that generally manifest during puberty. Due to their differences, mutants face prejudice and discrimination, which is a common theme in many X-Men stories.  
    
  Stan Lee decided that the new group of heroes would be "mutants" because he had grown weary of creating separate origins for each superhero. Marvel publisher Martin Goodman initially turned down the name "The Mutants" because he thought readers wouldn't know what a "mutant" was.
