  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
  In "Beyond Order" by Jordan B. Peterson, the acclaimed clinical psychologist and professor follows up on the success of his previous book, "12 Rules for Life," by presenting an additional 12 principles aimed at helping readers navigate the complexities of life. Peterson addresses the growing tendency of the human will to exert control over every aspect of existence, warning against the dangers of excessive security. He offers strategies to counteract cultural, scientific, and psychological forces pushing society toward tyranny. Instead, he encourages readers to tap into their instinctual capacity to find meaning and purpose, particularly in moments of powerlessness. 
  While an overabundance of chaos can lead to instability and anxiety, unchecked order can stifle individuality and submission. "Beyond Order" serves as a guide to striking a balance between these two fundamental aspects of reality, providing a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Jordan B. Peterson's book invites readers to explore the delicate equilibrium between order and chaos in the pursuit of personal growth and well-being.

  For readers who enjoy a dark and mysterious plot with their sexy books, Leo Sparx presents the first installment of this kinky m/m (m/m/m) series inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe stories, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The Cask of Amontillado.” 
  At the start of this queer erotic romance, a body is found chained to a wall in a world-famous gay resort. A heartbroken ex-theatre kid turned forensic scientist and an eccentric private detective form an unlikely team to investigate. Through hidden sex mazes, strange drag shows, and forbidden water features, the duo abandons the safety of the morgue, concealing their identities and losing their clothes on the way. 
  Pulled to the darkness beyond the main area of The Masquerade by his strong sexual appetite, the scientist runs into his ex-boyfriend—and things get really complicated. Meanwhile, he suspects his new strange but sexy investigator friend is hiding more than just his intentions. Rumors abound about a case of small bottles containing the best party favor ever made as a second body is discovered. 
  The duo ventures deeper to find out who or what is killing the men at The Masquerade. BDSM scenes gone wrong? Accidental overdose? Or is there a serial killer on the loose in the resort? Whatever is killing guests at the massive club, these men seeking the truth begin to suspect they’re next. 
  It’s Edgar Allan Poe with a queer kinky twist!

  The Great Refusal - A New Vision...

  In the tradition of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me, bell hook’s All About Love, and even James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, comes a groundbreaking blend of personal and political commentary from acclaimed memoirist Casey Gerald, offering an iconoclastic reframe of resistance and rebellion to meet the current moment and remake the world on our terms. In 2019, 400 years after the first Africans were stolen and brought to American shores for enslavement, Casey Gerald made a bold and controversial proclamation on national television: “We’ve been given strategies to make it in this country, to endure this land… but there’s another very important tradition that each person has the right and opportunity and perhaps, at this very urgent moment, the responsibility to reclaim, and that is the strategy of flight, of escape.” His interviewer, Michel Martin, asked, “Where are we going?”The Great Refusal is the answer to Martin’s apt question. In a short yet powerful volume, Gerald maps the path forward, calling on the works of Black luminaries, writers, and activists, as well as his own experience stepping back from the limelight and reassessing our current strategies of resistance and endurance. He implores us to tend to our inner resources and restrengthen our own worlds. Much resistance, he argues, is an inherent dialogue with the oppressor, playing on their battlefield, a defense to their offensive. (He is a former football star, after all.) Now, again, we find ourselves on the shorelines of destruction. The strategies we’ve been taught – assimilation, respectability politics, meritocracy – are stalling out or degrading us further. What would rebellion look like if we stepped out of this cycle and imagined a different world, one on our terms? Marginalized Americans are in a gridlock fight for dignity in a system that is hellbent on never granting it. It’s time we understood our power, our peace, and our needs, and built them on our own instead of begging for scraps. Gerald offer’s a way — one that saved him, just as it once saved his forebears: the great refusal.

  Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
   
   
    
  In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
   
   
    
  In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?

  As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
   
   
   
  In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
   
   
   
  With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.
