  My Father and Other Animals -...

  A moving and hilarious fish-out-of-water memoir of a millennial leaving his inner-city life to take over the family farm. 
  Sam Vincent is a twenty-something writer in the inner suburbs, scrabbling to make ends meet, when he gets a call from his mother: his father has stuck his hand in a woodchipper, but ‘not to worry – it wasn’t like that scene in Fargo or anything’. When Sam returns to the family farm to help out, his life takes a new and unexpected direction. 
   
  Whether castrating a calf or buying a bull – or knocking in a hundred fence posts by hand when his dad hides the post-driver – Sam’s farming apprenticeship is an education in grit and shit. But there are victories, too: nurturing a fig orchard to bloom; learning to read the land; joining forces with Indigenous elders to protect a special site. Slowly, Sam finds himself thinking differently about the farm, about his father and about his relationship with both. 
   
  By turns affecting, hilarious and utterly surprising, this memoir melds humour and fierce honesty in an unsentimental love letter. It’s about belonging, humility and regeneration – of land, family and culture. What passes from father to son on this unruly patch of earth is more than a livelihood; it is a legacy.

  Our New Social Life -...

  A fascinating introduction to the science of connection that will ultimately improve your social life and lead to better relationships. 
    
  In a world where everything seems to transform in a blink, anyone can suddenly find themselves scrambling for human connection. Someone who has always found it easy to connect can suddenly feel disoriented if they start a new job, move to a new region, or welcome a new member into the family. Others may have always found it difficult to connect, feel they've outgrown their circles, or may feel dissatisfied for a range of other reasons. 
    
  In Our New Social Life, social connection and happiness experts Natalie Kerr and Jaime Kurtz explain the science behind these struggles and steer us toward timeless skills to overcome these challenges. Unlike much of the guidance found online, this book is based on decades of research, which the authors make accessible and useful to the reader, and offers tools for introverts and extraverts alike. Whether the barriers to connection are a function of modern life—such as being distracted by our devices, feeling overworked, and living far away from loved ones—or are more timeless—such as simply not knowing how to connect, misunderstanding the thoughts and feelings of others, undervaluing moments of solitude, and avoiding the sort of vulnerability that creates deep bonds—this book offers hope, encouragement, and relatability to help readers have a richer and more vibrant social life. 
    
  "A beautiful reminder that our humanity thrives on forming, maintaining, and restoring connections, guiding us towards resilience against loneliness."—Stephanie Cacioppo, author of Wired for Love

  Keto Diet Ketosis Basics - Guide...

  The basic principle of the keto diet involves significantly reducing carbohydrate intake while increasing fat consumption. Typically, the macronutrient ratio in a standard ketogenic diet is around 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% carbohydrates. This variation can vary depending on individual needs and goals. 
  When you limit carbohydrates, your body's usual source of energy (glucose) becomes scarce. Consequently, the liver starts converting fat into molecules called ketones, which serve as an alternative fuel source for the body and brain. This metabolic state of relying on ketones for energy is known as ketosis. 
  Foods commonly included in a keto diet are: 
  Healthy fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, butter, and fatty cuts of meat. 
  Protein sources: Fish, poultry, eggs, tofu, tempeh, and grass-fed meat. 
  Low-carb vegetables: Leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and bell peppers. 
  Limited carb fruits: Berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries in moderation. 
  Dairy: Cheese, cream, and full-fat yogurt (in moderation for some due to lactose content).

At the same time, we may encounter puzzles and perplexities that may encourage skepticism about moral responsibility.This Very Short Introduction explores our understanding of moral responsibility and what it involves. This includes various practical problems that we face in dealing with it in a truthful, effective, and humane way. The picture presented is one that falls in the territory that lies between a consoling optimism and a bleak pessimism about our human ethical predicament.

  Speaker, content creator, and bestselling author Carlos Whittaker asks readers who are wrestling with disappointment and doubt, What if the ache you feel isn't failure--it's the holy invitation to redefine what fulfillment looks like? 
  You thought if you followed the plan, everything would be okay. You thought if you achieved your goals, that would be enough. You thought if you kept the faith, the faith would keep you. Yet you look at your life and wonder, Is this all there is? 
  The myth of "almost there" has broken our hearts. But maybe feeling unfinished isn't a failure. Maybe it's a holy invitation. Maybe your blueprint was never God's plan for your life. Drawing on his own journey through grief and personal transformation, Carlos Whittaker challenges you to confront the lies you've believed about what life should be and embrace the messy miracle of beginning again, no matter what stage of life you're in. Burn the Blueprint will challenge you toidentify and release the myths that have shaped your sense of self,learn to name what you're actually feeling so you can start healing,trade perfectionism and performance for presence and peace, anddiscover what God can do with the life we have--not the one we were trying to build. 
    
  Burn the Blueprint is not about achieving more. It's about uncovering what you already have. It's not about pushing harder. It's about receiving more deeply. With rich reflections, hard-won insight, and tangible tools for transformation, Carlos gives you permission to name what's unfinished in your life and the courage to believe it's not too late to keep building.
