  Amidst an uncertain world in constant flux, it’s easy to see the value of the chess player’s special skills: thinking ahead, taking preparatory moves, maintaining deep concentration, thinking outside themselves, and staying goal-oriented.  
  These skills are not easily acquired; they require consistent effort, practice, mental discipline, and patience. However, these skills are essential for success in professional and personal life. Rushing into decisions or actions without careful consideration can lead to mistakes, missed opportunities, and downright messy situations. 
  In addition to enhancing discipline and patience, playing chess can be a valuable exercise in mindfulness. By immersing oneself in the game and giving it their full attention, one can learn to be more present and engaged in every moment of life.    
  Many resources are available online to learn and practice chess, such as chess.com and Lichess. With a plethora of videos, tutorials, and other resources, one can understand the tactics and strategies of chess at their own pace and convenience. But remember: the key is to play to learn and cultivate the skills rather than memorize patterns or become good at chess for the sake of being good at chess.  
  So, next time you have a spare moment, consider focusing on these skills during a chess game. And in all your endeavors, remember the importance of discipline, patience, and mindfulness. Doing so may only sometimes lead to victory in chess but will always, undoubtedly, lead to growth and personal development in life.

  Geoff Nicholson has been walking his whole life. Wherever he is and wherever he goes in the world, he walks and writes about what he sees and feels. Here he reflects on the nature of walking, why we do it, how it benefits us and, in some cases, how it can damage and even destroy us. Geoff's recent diagnosis with a rare, incurable form of cancer has made him all too aware of his own mortality. Sooner or later there will be a last step, a last excursion, a final drift, for him just as there will be for all of us. Geoff vows to continue to walk for as long as he can.
  This moving, vital book describes his own walks and relates them to the walks of street photographers, artists and writers, such as Garry Winogrand, Diane Arbus, Sophie Calle, Jorge Luis Borges and Virginia Woolf, among many others. Walking on Thin Air is a book about mortality and, above all, a celebration of being alive.

  THE FASCINATING INSIDE STORY OF THE QUEST TO BUILD THE WORLD'S MOST AMBITIOUS PROFESSIONAL GAMING LEAGUE--AND THE RACE TO WIN ITS $1,000,000 PRIZE.Welcome to the high-stakes world of esports where shit-talking teenage gamers, billionaire sports franchise owners, and celebrity entrepreneurs are all competing to understand and conquer the fast-emerging future of entertainment. The burgeoning frontier of professional gaming has moved beyond the niche corners of the internet to become a global phenomenon, upending youth viewership for the major sports leagues and opening a generational rift over the nature of "athletics." Soon, professional video game competitions may well be as ingrained in our culture as Monday Night Football. YOUNG GUNS: Obsession, Overwatch, and the Future of Gamingtakes readers behind the scenes of the esports boom and into the lives of the gamers and game changers leading the charge, unfurling a wry, unexpected, and often hilarious narrative about the rise of professional gaming and the business of electronic sports.  An avid gamer himself, author Austin Moorhead became fascinated by pro gaming, in particular the Overwatch League (OWL) after sports titans Robert Kraft, Stan Kroenke, and Jeff Wilpon each paid $20 million for a team. At the same time that he began investigating the inner-workings of the league, OWL launched esports into the American mainstream, inking TV deals with ABC and ESPN, selling out NBA stadiums for live competitions, and minting a new version of young pro athletes.  Embedding with two top teams in the Overwatch League, the San Francisco Shock and the London Spitfire, as they embark on the inaugural season, Moorhead pulls back the curtain on the grueling practice schedules and spartan lifestyles of the league's most popular players. In addition to the "gamer houses" and competitions in which the pros hone their skills, Moorhead takes readers into the board room of Overwatch-developer Blizzard Entertainment, where entrepreneurs eager to capitalize on youth culture take bets on new esports franchises for tens of millions. The result is a rollicking story about the superstars of the future and the absurd collision of adolescent prodigies and high-stakes industry, an uproarious look at the future of sports and entertainment that is part Bringing Down the House, part Moneyball.

  Dad Can You Not? - A Dad's Guide...

  A hilarious tribute to every dad from Chip Leighton, internet sensation and author of New York Times bestseller What Time is Noon. 
    
  Dad fails are the stuff of legend: The time he pulled up to a drive-through and shouted his order into a trash can, or when he ate a handful of what he thought were nuts but were really discarded olive pits, or that day he used a glue stick instead of ChapStick. 
    
  In Dad Can You Not?, Leighton brings some real doozies to light: dads discovering everything from how therapy works (who knew it involved talking about “all the personal stuff”?) to what washes up on the beach at low tide (surprise—the translucent lumps are jellyfish, not lost breast implants), and he includes lots of funny feedback and reactions from the kids (“you need to chill in the family group chat”) plus quizzes to test where everyone falls on the “Dadness” scale, along with lots of tongue-in-cheek charts, graphs, and other features. With the same charm that made What Time is Noon a New York Times bestseller, Dad Can You Not? delivers laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family.
