  When he served in Congress, political commentator Joe Scarborough hung a portrait of Harry Truman in his office. This often surprised people, as Truman had left the White House with a low level of popular support. On top of that, Joe was a Republican and Truman a Democrat. But Joe identified most of all as a conservative, especially on foreign policy. Joe was a Cold War hawk, and Truman was the first Cold Warrior. In Saving Freedom (2020), Joe reveals how Truman took the first crucial steps in defending democracy against the threat of the Soviet Union. He explains how the Truman Doctrine came to be, how it was implemented, and its success in transforming the United States from a largely isolationist state to the primary fighter for freedom and peace in the world.

  "A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE." —Meb Keflezighi • "A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION ON WHAT IT MEANS TO KEEP SHOWING UP." —Allyson Felix • "LEFT ME ON THE SIDELINES CHEERING." —Joan Benoit SamuelsonSara Hall shares the story of her record-breaking career and her unconventional path to motherhood via adoption, all while battling insecurities, injuries, and doubters.Sara Hall has been a fixture atop American distance running for more than two decades: first as a national high school champion, then as an NCAA star at Stanford University, and later, as the only pro runner to ever win U.S. titles in the mile and the marathon. She's held the American record in the half marathon, clocked the fastest marathon in the U.S. by a woman aged 40 or older, and represented her country in ​multiple World Championships.But success has never come easy. Fear of failure set in during high school. In college, Sara competed through a results-obsessed culture that carried into her professional career. She battled anxiety and imposter syndrome, alongside outside pressure to quit the sport and instead devote herself to supporting her husband, Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall, and later, her kids. Yet Sara never gave up on the dream of reaching her potential.Fueled by faith, family, and an unbridled love of exploring her limits, Sara has proven the doubters wrong at every turn. When she and Ryan adopted four daughters from Ethiopia, motherhood only made her faster, running personal bests year after year and landing on podiums at the world’s most competitive races. Along the way, she discovered that choosing love over fear allowed her to take risks. She let go of results and embraced the pursuit of excellence instead.For the Love of the Grind is a love letter to running, and the story of Sara’s growth as an athlete, wife, and mom. Through her unflinching honesty and keen introspection, readers will be inspired to chase their dreams, to reimagine what might still be possible, and to embrace their own love of the grind.

  How did an ancient spiritual practice become the preserve of the privileged?Nadia Gilani has been practising yoga as a participant and teacher for over twenty-five years. Yoga has saved her life and seen her through many highs and lows; it has been a faith, a discipline, and a friend, and she believes wholeheartedly in its radical potential. However, over her years in the wellness industry, Nadia has noticed not only yoga's rising popularity, but also how its modern incarnation no longer serves people of colour, working class people, or many other groups who originally pioneered its creation. Combining her own memories of how the practice has helped her with an account of its history and transformation in the modern west, Nadia creates a love letter to yoga and a passionate critique of the billion-dollar industry whose cost and inaccessibility has shut out many of those it should be helping. By turns poignant, funny, and shocking, The Yoga Manifesto excavates where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save the practice from its own success.
