  It’s Not You It’s the Dating Apps

  It’s Not You, It’s the Dating Apps is the book I wish someone had handed me years ago, back when I was wasting thousands of hours swiping on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and even Facebook Dating, wondering why online dating felt so hopeless. After getting divorced, becoming a sober single dad, and listening to countless men and women in real life talk about their dating struggles, I finally saw the truth: nothing is wrong with me, and nothing is wrong with you—the problem is the dating apps themselves. In this brutally honest book, I share why these platforms feed us bots, contractors, catfish, scammers, marketing funnels, and fake “likes,” how they weaponize rejection, how they destroy confidence, and how they keep us swiping instead of actually meeting anyone. Modern dating has become algorithm dating, and the more time and money you give the apps, the worse your results get. I explain why good women and good men rarely connect online, why dating after divorce is even harder on apps, and why real-world connection always beats digital matching. Most importantly, I share the twenty-five real-life ways I’m now meeting women without apps—fitness classes, yoga, run clubs, museums, co-working spaces, volunteering, spiritual communities, dinner parties, dog parks, travel, and even just saying hi at Whole Foods. This book isn’t from a dating coach; it’s my raw, sober, first-person account of walking away from online dating and rebuilding my love life through actual human connection. If you’re tired of swiping, tired of feeling invisible, tired of dating burnout, and ready to meet people in person again, this book will show you exactly how I’m doing it—and why deleting the apps might be the best thing that ever happens to you.

  Resident Evil

  Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
   
    
   
  Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
   
   
   
  Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

  Dr. David Sandberg, an internationally renown pediatric neurosurgeon, combines his deep scientific and medical knowledge with raw emotion and unforgettably powerful stories of courage and love. The brain is the most complicated and perplexing of our organs, and it is also the one that makes us human. When it comes to a child's brain, the hearts of those who love them become inextricably linked to that story. 
   
   
   
  In Brain and Heart, Dr. Sandberg describes the joy, heartbreak, uncertainty, and physical and emotional challenges that come with performing brain surgery on children. While most medical memoirs focus largely on the patient perspective, Dr. Sandberg allows listeners access to his private thoughts when making agonizing decisions. 
   
   
   
  A father himself, Dr. Sandberg understands deeply how every one of his patients is an entire world, and his devotion to his patients and his work shines through. We follow him as he finds his way to neurosurgery as a young doctor through to his most heartbreaking cases and greatest triumphs. We also travel with him to underserved countries, where lifesaving surgeries that are common here are almost nonexistent, and Dr. Sandberg shares the stories of the dedicated doctors and surgeons trying to enact change. Brain and Heart is an unforgettable book that will strengthen our sense of compassion and hope.
