Diane Alisa

What happened to the American Dream? In A Love Letter to Suburbia, Diane Alisa takes readers on a compelling journey through the rise of suburbia and its consequences on American life. With heartfelt reflections and practical insights, Diane confronts the disillusionment many feel living in suburban sprawl. She explores how car dependency, corporate control, and disintegrating community values have eroded the sense of connection and purpose that once defined American neighborhoods. 
But this is not a story of defeat. Diane offers a bold vision for restoring the “American Village”—a revitalized, walkable, community-focused way of living. Drawing on historical examples and modern urbanism, she presents actionable steps for turning car-centric infrastructure into vibrant, self-sustaining communities where families can thrive. A Love Letter to Suburbia is more than a critique; it is a hopeful roadmap for reclaiming the essence of the American Dream. 
Will America restore its villages and rekindle a shared cultural identity—or will the suburbs continue to spread isolation?

The Modern Know-it-all - A...

Brandon Wolfe

Smarty-pants, wise guy, smart aleck, bigmouth, show-off. 
Our collective society has agreed, with good reason, to define a "know-it-all" with such a negative label.  
The Modern Know-it-all: A Handbook To Achieving An Infallible Worldview is a profound philosophical guide that completely flips the script on our world's common definition of a know-it-all. This enlightening literary journey dismantles the negative stereotype of the conventional "know-it-all" by introducing a transformative new archetype—the Modern Know-it-all—who attains wisdom through rigorous self-deconstruction, critical thinking, and a hybrid philosophical approach to life.  
The Modern Know-it-all challenges readers to reconsider deeply held beliefs, to uproot inherited delusions, and to build a resilient and evidence-based worldview anchored in reality, reason, and emotional balance. In the most unsuspecting way, this revolutionary perspective provides each open-minded reader the opportunity to truly become the smartest and wisest individual in every room entered hereon.

Expressly Human - Decoding The...

Mark Changizi, Tim Barber

Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that). 
 
 
  
Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. 
 
 
  
Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.
