  James I Charles I Commomwealth &...

  Step right up for the most uproariously irreverent chapter of Gilbert Abbott A’Beckett’s Comic History of England—where crowns are comedy props and history’s biggest egos trip over their own dogma! 
  Meet James I, the "Wisest Fool in Christendom," who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. 
  Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. 
  Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.

I am addicted to positivity. I am addicted to positivity.  I care more about feeling great than being great.  I am NOT THAT GREAT.

That's where You're Not That Great (but neither is anyone else) comes in. This book teaches you how to harness all the negativity in the world and use it to improve your life, taking everyday feelings like self-loathing, regret and shame and making them work for you. Positive thinking is for assholes. Negative thinking is for winners.

  I Think Therefore I’m Wrong -...

  I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back. 
  René Descartes: French, wealthy, suspicious of everything, and armed with just enough Latin to convince the world that his personal identity crisis was actually a groundbreaking intellectual framework. From doubting the entire universe to claiming God exists because the idea of God felt right, Descartes pioneered a system so elegantly flawed it haunted philosophers for centuries—and now you get to enjoy the wreckage. 
  In this book, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, Leibniz’s Monads) takes you on a laugh-out-loud demolition tour of: 
  The Four-Step Method of Doubt, also known as gaslighting the cosmos 
  The Cogito, or how to accidentally make thinking sound smug 
  God as epistemological tech support 
  Mind-body dualism, or “what if you’re just a haunted skeleton?” 
  Descartes’ legacy in science, psychology, AI, and every freshman who says “I'm not my body, bro.” 
  Whether you’re a philosophy student, a recovering Cartesian, or just here to watch the metaphysical world burn, this book explains Descartes’ ideas the way they were always meant to be understood: with sarcasm, side-eye, and a glass of wine. 
  I think, therefore I spiral. Let’s go
