  Self-Discipline - The Controlled...

  Self-discipline is the cornerstone of personal development and success. It is the ability to control one’s emotions, behaviors, and actions in the face of temptations and impulses. In a world filled with distractions and instant gratification, self-discipline becomes increasingly important. It is what allows individuals to make decisions that align with their long-term goals, even when immediate desires may try to pull them off course. 
  At its core, self-discipline is about the ability to focus on what is important, not just what is easy. It involves a deep understanding of personal values and the determination to act according to those values, regardless of external influences. People who possess self-discipline are able to say "no" to short-term pleasures and distractions in favor of achieving their greater objectives. Whether it’s choosing to exercise, staying on top of work deadlines, or resisting the temptation to procrastinate, self-discipline helps maintain the balance between immediate gratification and long-term success. 
  One of the key aspects of self-discipline is understanding that it is not an inherent trait, but rather a skill that can be developed over time. While some individuals may have a natural tendency toward discipline, anyone can cultivate this ability with practice and persistence. The first step in building self-discipline is recognizing the areas in life where improvement is needed and then committing to making changes. This often involves setting clear goals, developing strategies, and following through on commitments, even when it feels difficult or inconvenient.

  Whose Language Is English?

  Whose language is English? Although we often think of it as native to one place, today there are many Englishes. About seventy-five countries are now using English as their official or first language, and the number of people speaking it around the world continues to rise. But the makeup of the English-speaking population is changing. The proportion of speakers for whom English is a first language is decreasing, due to the explosion in popularity of English as a second language. 
   
   
    
  In this ambitious book, Jieun Kiaer explores the lives of English words in the twenty-first century, when the creation and use of language has become an increasingly dynamic, interactive, and diverse process in which ordinary people have taken leading roles—offering such coinages as "flexitarian," "MeToo," "glow up," and "shitizen" to "No sabo kids" and beyond. As English language grows ever more diverse, Kiaer believes, we need a paradigm shift. We must acknowledge that all varieties of English are languages in their own right when they are used by a community of speakers. English is a language that belongs to everyone. 
   
   
    
  Considering the effects of social media, the Covid-19 pandemic, virtual work, globalization, and artificial intelligence, Kiaer paints a compelling portrait of a rapidly evolving language characterized by creativity and democratization.

  When he woke up in jail in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2015, Tim Murtaugh had no way of knowing he'd be a senior leader on the reelection campaign for the president of the United States less than four years later. 
   
   
   
  What began as a form of high school amusement quickly became an addiction, which over decades would lead Murtaugh to the edge of ruin. Able to beat the disease of alcoholism only under the threat of losing everything, and with the support of a loving wife and family, Murtaugh managed to recover, revive his career, and make it to the top of the political world. 
   
   
   
  Travel along on the 2020 Trump campaign as Murtaugh shares stories—never published before—from his two years as communications director, navigating a hostile media, the COVID-19 pandemic, highly anticipated debates, Election Day 2020, January 6, and life on the most-watched political campaign in world history. 
   
   
   
  Swing Hard in Case You Hit It is a redemption story unlike any other—from being on the verge of complete self-destruction to flying on Air Force One with President Donald J. Trump—that doesn't come with a happy Hollywood ending.

  Offers a philosophical perspective on the nature and value of writing a memoir. 
    
  Artful Truths offers a concise guide to the fundamental philosophical questions that arise when writing a literary work about your own life. Bringing a philosopher’s perspective to a general audience, Helena de Bres addresses what a memoir is, how the genre relates to fiction, memoirists’ responsibilities to their readers and subjects, and the question of why to write a memoir at all. Along the way, she delves into a wide range of philosophical issues, including the nature of the self, the limits of knowledge, the idea of truth, the obligations of friendship, the relationship between morality and art, and the question of what makes a life meaningful. 
    
  Written in a clear and conversational style, it offers a resource for those who write, teach, and study memoirs, as well as those who love to read them. With a combination of literary and philosophical knowledge, de Bres takes the many challenges directed at memoirists seriously, while ultimately standing in defense of a genre that, for all its perplexities—and maybe partly because of them—continually proves to be both beloved and valuable.
