Summary

Chili Pepper Migration explores the fascinating global journey of chili peppers, tracing their origins in the Americas to their now-ubiquitous presence in world cuisines. It reveals how the Columbian Exchange and subsequent global trade dramatically altered culinary landscapes. Surprisingly, the diverse array of chili peppers we know today all stem from a single origin, highlighting the power of human selection and botanical adaptation.

 
This book examines the botanical history, global spread, and culinary adaptation of chili peppers across continents. It details how Spanish and Portuguese traders played a crucial role in introducing this spice to Asia and Africa. The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with the early domestication of capsicum and progressing through trade routes to the integration of chili peppers into regional dishes like those of India, Thailand, and West Africa.

 
By examining historical records and culinary practices, Chili Pepper Migration illustrates the interconnectedness of food, culture, and global trade. It demonstrates how a single plant species transformed cuisines worldwide, impacting economies and shaping regional identities. The book's unique value lies in its comprehensive approach, blending botanical science with culinary and historical insights to reveal the profound impact of this unassuming spice.

    "An insightful, funny, and refreshingly personal journey into workaholism and the pathological Type A mind." — Cat Marnell, New York Times bestselling author of How to Murder Your Life 
A superstar podcast producer delivers a unique, laugh-out-loud, cry quietly invitation to examine our delusional obsessions with work in this eye-opening book—part memoir, part mentoring, part confessional guide—that dissects the emotional ties that bind us . . . to our desks. 
For any type-A, high achiever out there, this is the book that sees you. And provides a cathartic, funny, emotionally charged insight into what drives the perfection-oriented. 
Laura Mayer was born a girlboss. As a child in suburban Illinois, she played "V.P. of Sales" in her bedroom, dictating important memos to her twin brother and swapping Judy Blume for the buzzy business books of the day. While other kids dreamed of being pop stars or pro athletes, little Laura had a single-minded focus: the corporate ladder. 
Some thirty years later, from a dizzying perch on that very ladder—as Executive Producer of Podcasts at ABC News, with such blockbuster shows as Revisionist History, Bad Blood, and Happier with Gretchen Rubin to her credit—and with an identity shaped by annual reviews, performance indicators, and “executive presence” (whatever that means) a disillusioned Laura is calling "bullshit" on the whole work-is-life thing. Sort of. 
Tryhard is a gonzo memoir for 9-to-5 devotees who have read every business book and C-suite-or-bust instruction manual yet still find we’re burnt out and unhappy. It is also a deeply personal and poignant examination of why we race at all. Laura detangles this delusional mess of priorities we've created, rejects the “boss-at-any-cost” culture, and invites us to laugh at ourselves (and her) along the way. She offers the modern office worker a new path forward through her own revelations, and implores us, for the love of God, to chill out a little bit. 
This is Laura's messy, somewhat enlightened, possibly transformative, heart-wrenching and always entertaining story—a one-of-a-kind sightseeing trip on the Great American hamster wheel.
