Summary

In his groundbreaking book "NAP for Success," author Kevin B DiBacco reveals the hidden key to elevating performance and productivity - the strategic power nap. Drawing on scientific research, DiBacco illuminates how brief naps can boost brain function, enhance memory and learning, spur creativity, improve mood, reduce stress and boost immunity.

Napping is an ancient habit that predates modern society by thousands of years. Records show that midday rest periods were the norm across numerous ancient cultures, from Egypt to Rome. Siestas remain ingrained in European, Latin and Mediterranean lifestyles. Though America diverged from this tradition in the 20th century, the benefits of napping are once again acknowledged. Brief midday rest breaks appear innately aligned with our natural circadian rhythms. The enduring practice of napping throughout history speaks to its value in energizing the mind and body.

    How to Steal a Presidential...

    From two distinguished experts on election law, an alarming look at how the American presidency could be stolen—by entirely legal means 
     
    Even in the fast and loose world of the Trump White House, the idea that a couple thousand disorganized protestors storming the U.S. Capitol might actually prevent a presidential succession was farfetched. Yet perfectly legal ways of overturning election results actually do exist, and they would allow a political party to install its own candidate in place of the true winner. 
     
    Lawrence Lessig and Matthew Seligman work through every option available for subverting a presumptively legitimate result—from vice-presidential intervention to election decertification and beyond. While many strategies would never pass constitutional muster, Lessig and Seligman explain how some might. They expose correctable weaknesses in the system, including one that could be corrected only by the Supreme Court. 
     
    Any strategy aimed at hacking a presidential election is a threat to democracy. This book is a clarion call to shore up the insecure system for electing the president before American democracy is forever compromised. 
     
    Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School. Matthew Seligman is a fellow at the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School and a partner at Stris & Maher LLP.
