  Ancient Egyptian society was highly structured, with a rigid hierarchy that defined people’s roles and responsibilities. At the top of this social order was the pharaoh, considered both a political ruler and a divine figure. Below the pharaoh were the nobility and officials who managed the kingdom’s affairs. The middle class consisted of scribes, artisans, and merchants, while the majority of the population comprised farmers, laborers, and slaves. Each social group played a crucial role in maintaining Egypt’s stability and prosperity. 
  The pharaoh was the central authority in Egypt, believed to be the living embodiment of a god. His rule was absolute, and his primary duty was to maintain ma’at, the divine balance of order and justice. He oversaw military campaigns, religious ceremonies, and massive building projects, including temples and pyramids. The royal court and government officials assisted the pharaoh in administration. These officials, often chosen from the nobility, held positions such as viziers, tax collectors, and governors, ensuring the kingdom functioned efficiently. 
  Scribes, artisans, and merchants formed the middle class, contributing to Egypt’s economy and culture. Scribes were essential for maintaining records, writing official documents, and preserving religious texts. Their education was rigorous, requiring years of training in hieroglyphic writing. Artisans, including sculptors, painters, and metalworkers, created the intricate decorations found in tombs and temples. Merchants facilitated trade both within Egypt and with foreign lands, bringing valuable goods such as gold, spices, and precious stones. Although they did not hold political power, the middle class enjoyed a stable livelihood and social respect.

  Congratulations! You’ve found yet another self-help book that you’ll skim through, feel briefly inspired by, and then completely ignore while continuing to make the same bad decisions. 
  🚨 THIS IS NOT A REAL SELF-HELP BOOK. 🚨 
  This is a book for people who have: 
  ✔️ Bought planners they never use. 
  ✔️ Watched productivity videos while actively avoiding work. 
  ✔️ Googled “how to get my life together” at 2 AM while eating cold pizza. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  ✅ A step-by-step guide to pretending you’re working on yourself. 
  ✅ The absolute dumbest life advice you will never follow. 
  ✅ A checklist for success (that will collect dust on your desk). 
  This book will NOT help you: 
  🚫 Get your finances in order. 
  🚫 Find motivation. 
  🚫 Stop dating red flags wrapped in human skin. 
  But it WILL help you laugh at your own failures, which is basically therapy (but cheaper). 
  If you’re tired of reading books that try to fix you, this book is here to roast you instead. 
  📢 Go ahead, buy it. (But let’s be real, you’ll probably never finish it.) 🙃

  Comedians Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson started Guys We F*cked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast in 2013, intending to interview guys they'd slept with to learn more about themselves and squash the stigma so often associated with sexual women. As the podcast grew, and Corinne and Krystyna got to know their fans, stories of sexual assault, verbal and emotional abuse, and crippling shame became common topics of discussion along with those humorous conversations highlighting overall sexual confusion among many adults. The podcast is now an community of over a million listeners worldwide, and a place where any and all taboo sex topics are discussed freely, both with celebrity guests and the real people in their lives. 
  Their new book, F*cked, follows that model, as Corinne and Krystyna bring a mix of raw, ridiculous, and serious sexual conversation to the page that will include topics like:Why shame is completely made up and how we can stop giving into itSexual exploration and how it sometimes ends in a trip to the ERStuff we should stop doing: Snooping, nitpicking our bodies, and faking orgasmsAsking your sexual partner uncomfortable questionsHow to get yourself out of an unsafe situationMasturbation, threesomes, porn, sex toys, butt stuffAnd much, much more 
  Corinne and Krystyna are tired of books that pander to women like they’re hot messes, unable to handle their emotions without the assistance of a man, a glass of rosé, and a Xanax. This audiobook will teach the listener, be they male, female, transgender or undecided, that you deal with sh*t, you brush your shoulder off, and you move the f*ck on. In a society where it has, for some reason, become chic to be the victim, they say this pity party ends now.  
  This is a guide to love and sex for women who drink whiskey because they like it, not because it’s a cute thing to say on your Tinder profile. It has no trigger warnings because life doesn’t come with those. It won’t talk down to you or coddle you because you’re better than that. Corinne and Krystyna aren’t going to explain why he’s just not that into you, because it doesn’t f*cking matter. Despite what television, Rom-Coms, and glossy magazines tell you, you’re fine all by yourself. This is the audiobook Bridget Jones should’ve heard instead of writing that sh*tty diary in the first place.

  Play It Right - The Remarkable...

  Kamal Gupta

  All around the world, the words "Wall Street" conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America's capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player, Wall Street represented something else entirely—a chance for him to play in the largest casino in the world. 
   
   
   
  Kamal Gupta's improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American story. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it right, knowing that there was such a thing as "enough" money, something very few, if any, of his Wall Street peers understood. 
   
   
   
  Much like Maria Konnikova's bestseller, The Biggest Bluff, Play It Right isn't so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the odds, whether at a casino, on Wall Street, or in life itself.
