    Drawing from stratification economics, intersectionality, and respectability politics, The Love Jones Cohort centers on the voices and lifestyles of members of the Black middle class who are single and living alone (SALA). While much has been written about both the Black middle class and the rise of singlehood, this book represents a first foray into bridging these two concepts. In studying these intersections, The Love Jones Cohort provides a more nuanced understanding of how race, gender, and class, coupled with social structures, shape five central lifestyle factors of Black middle-class adults who are SALA. The book explores how these Black adults define family and friends and decide on whether and how to pursue romantic relationships, articulate the ebbs and flows of being Black and middle class, select where to live and why, accumulate and disseminate wealth, and maintain overall health, well-being, and coping mechanisms.

    The Leverage Code - Build...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Most people think leverage is about power — titles, authority, wealth. It isn't. 
     
    Leverage is position and options. It is the structural advantage that lets you think clearly when others are panicking, say no when the pressure rises, and make decisions from choice rather than desperation. 
     
    In The Leverage Code, MJ Carver draws from his own experience — including a layoff after years of sixty-percent travel and unwavering performance — to break down the invisible mechanics of financial and personal leverage. This is not a book about getting rich. It is a book about building the kind of quiet, structural strength that changes how you negotiate, how you handle disruption, and how you breathe through the hard moments. 
     
    Organized into two parts, the book first examines where most people are exposed — operating from need rather than position, mistaking comfort for stability, and confusing income with leverage. Part Two delivers ten actionable Leverage Codes: structural principles that, applied consistently over time, reduce fragility and expand options. 
     
    Whether you are rebuilding after a setback, building quietly alongside a demanding career, or simply tired of feeling one paycheck away from panic — this book gives you the framework to engineer real, lasting leverage. 
     
    Not luck. Not motivation. Structure. 
     
    Build position before you need it.

    How to Live on 24 Hours a Day

    Are you really 'living', or just existing? Do you want to improve yourself or just continue to muddle through? Do you use the time given you each day, or just throw most of it away? These questions Bennett asks each of us and for those who want to really live and learn, offers very valuable advice.    Time is the most precious of commodities, states Bennett in this book. Many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day. And he added that the old adage "time is money" understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time. Time is extremely limited, and Bennett urged others to make the best of the time remaining in their lives. Which of us lives on twenty-four hours a day? And when I say "lives," I do not mean exists, nor "muddles through." Which of us is free from that uneasy feeling that the "great spending departments" of his daily life are not managed as they ought to be? [...] Which of us is not saying to himself -- which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: "I shall alter that when I have a little more time"? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.
