  You don’t feel unhappy because your life is broken.You feel unhappy because your mind is carrying too much.If you’re constantly overthinking, mentally exhausted, or overwhelmed—even when nothing is obviously wrong—this book is for you. It’s not about motivation, productivity, or fixing yourself. It’s about relief.Most self-help books tell you to add more: more habits, more discipline, more mindset work. But more isn’t making you happier. It’s creating mental noise, emotional pressure, and a constant sense that peace is always just out of reach.This book offers a different path: less.Not minimalism. Not detachment. Not giving up.But learning how to stop carrying what’s quietly draining you.Inside, you’ll learn:Why overthinking and mental noise make happiness feel impossibleWhy stress and emotional overwhelm persist even when life is “fine”How constantly trying to fix yourself creates more anxiety, not lessHow to stop fighting your mind and let thoughts pass naturallyHow simplifying your inner world leads to calm, clarity, and emotional easeWhy happiness isn’t excitement or achievement—but lightnessThis is a guide to mental clarity, inner peace, and sustainable happiness—without pressure, hustle, or forced positivity. You won’t be told to control your thoughts, eliminate emotions, or become someone new. You’ll learn how to let go, reduce stress, and calm your mind by removing what isn’t necessary.Happiness doesn’t come from doing more work on yourself.It comes from carrying less.If you feel overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—this book will help you quiet your mind, simplify your life mentally, and finally feel happy again.Not by adding anything.But by letting go.

  A pithy and brilliant introduction to Susan Sontag’s writing on women, gathering early essays on aging, equality, beauty, sexuality, and fascism Susan Sontag was one of the most formidable, original, and influential thinkers of the last century. “The most interesting ideas are heresies,” she remarked, and indeed, her writing rejects the familiar and refuses party lines.On Women presents seven essays and exchanges, spanning a range of subjects: the challenges and humiliations women face as they age; the relationship between women’s liberation and class struggle; beauty, which Sontag calls “that over-rich brew of so many familiar opposites”; feminism; fascism; and film. Taken together, these pieces—relentlessly curious, historically precise, politically robust, and allergic to easy categorization Sontag’s inimitable mind at work.

  Set against the extraordinary events of January 6, 2021, Aquilino Gonell’s inspirational memoir is rooted in the joys and struggles of the immigrant experience that have long defined the American experiment 
   
  Aquilino Gonell came to the United States from the Dominican Republic as a young boy. Although he spoke no English, he dedicated himself to his adopted land, striving for the American dream. Determined to be a success story, he joined the army to pay for college. He saw action in Iraq and returned home with PTSD. Believing in the promise of our government, he focused on healing himself and supporting his family. His hard work paid off when he landed a coveted position with the United States Capitol Police and rose to the rank of sergeant. 
   
  January 6, 2021, changed everything. When insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, Gonell bravely faced down the mob attempting to thwart the peaceful transfer of power. The brutal injuries he sustained that day would end his career in law enforcement. But when some of the very people he put his life on the line to protect downplayed or denied the truth of that day, he chose to speak out against the injustice done to him and the country. Chronicling what it means to live a life of conviction, one that adheres to the best ideas of our democracy, American Shield is a bold testament to the power of truth, justice, and accountability from a highly decorated officer and immigrant who exemplifies the greatest aspirations of a grateful nation.
