     “A powerful, game-changing book. Tom's approach is changing lives.” 
    — Seth Godin, Author of This is Marketing 
      
    Discover how supporting employment for people with autism unlocked new ways of running a business—and revealed transformative lessons for all of us. 
    Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Florida, isn’t average in any way. When Tom D’Eri and his father John bought the location in 2013, they wanted to create employment opportunities for workers with autism. Like 1 in 54 Americans, Tom’s brother Andrew has autism, and he was facing lifelong unemployment. So the family set out on a mission to provide professional opportunities for people like Andrew, starting with one car wash. Now it’s one of the highest-volume washes in Florida. Its employee retention rate is five times that of its competitors. It has spun off into two additional locations that have been immediately successful, and the business is absurdly profitable. 
    The Power of Potential tells the inspiring, surprising reason why: The wash’s excellence isn’t in spite of their unusual workforce, but because of it. Thanks to their neurodivergent staff, the Rising Tide team was able to discover and correct common problems that typically fly under the radar in businesses, including:You hire based on interviewsYou think great talent is the secret to a great businessYour managers are “good enough”You fire your worst employees 
    By spotting and correcting these hidden problems, any business—with any kind of workers—can achieve unexpected wins and leave average behind. At Rising Tide, solving these problems resulted in four unexpected wins that added up to a culture of excellence:Every employee felt safeAccountability became a tool for growthEveryone’s work gave them a sense of purposeCustomers loved their experience

    This true story, set in the late 1960s, follows the journey of Kozmos Lovejoy, a young artist living in San Francisco fascinated by psychedelics, spiritual mythology, and Jungian therapy. One night, he dreams of a banquet in a Renaissance castle where he meets a beautiful young woman who seems to know him and a joyous, vibrant man in a toga who blesses the feast with laughter and joy. A few weeks later, while hiking in the jungle near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Koz discovers a spring that flows into a jungle pool. He meets the girl from his dream who shares a spiritual feast of knowledge and wisdom hidden for thousands of years in myths and metaphors buried in books and ancient texts. Thus begins Kozmos Lovejoy's journey of self-discovery, taking him from Puerto Vallarta across the American Southwest and finally high into the French Alps, where he camps with the Sufis and shares in this Feast of Knowledge. Here, the secret of stardust is revealed to him, and he gains a deeper understanding of this transformative period of awakening global consciousness. The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp is an epic adventure that blends Patrick O'Brien's personal experiences with a profound understanding of human potential. It celebrates a remarkable journey of self-awareness, inspiring the hearts, dreams, and imagination of those who dare surrender to the unknown by choice or chance.

    "They can take your freedom, but they cannot take your identity."
    
    In 1841, Solomon Northup was a professional violinist and family man living in Saratoga Springs, New York. After being lured to Washington D.C. with the promise of work, he was drugged, shackled, and stripped of his name. For the next twelve years, he was passed from master to master in the bayous of Louisiana, enduring the sadistic cruelty of men like Edwin Epps while witnessing the quiet heroism of his fellow enslaved people. Twelve Years a Slave is a visceral, unflinching look at the "peculiar institution" through the eyes of a man who knew both the dignity of liberty and the agony of the lash. It remains a foundational text of American history and a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.
    
    The Mechanics of Oppression: Northup provides a meticulous, almost journalistic description of the economics and daily operations of the slave trade. He details the cultivation of cotton and sugar, the social hierarchies of the plantation, and the psychological warfare used to keep human beings in subjection.
    
    A Quest for Justice: The narrative is propelled by Northup's secret attempts to communicate with his family in the North. His eventual rescue is a heart-stopping moment of tension and triumph, highlighting the legal and social complexities of a divided nation where a man's status as "property" or "person" could depend entirely on the color of his skin and the geography of his location.
    
    Why It Is a Vital Classic: While many narratives were edited to suit political agendas, Northup's account is praised for its stark realism and descriptive power. It provides names, dates, and locations that were later verified by historians, making it one of the most credible and devastating indictments of slavery ever written.
