  "Man a Machine" by Julien Offray de La Mettrie is a provocative treatise from the Enlightenment period that challenges traditional distinctions between humans and machines. In this work, La Mettrie contends that humans are purely material beings, driven by their physical components, akin to complex machines. He argues that all human thought, emotion, and behavior can be understood in terms of mechanical and physiological principles, dismissing the idea of an immaterial soul. This materialist perspective, revolutionary at the time, stirred controversy as it confronted religious and philosophical views about human nature and the soul.

  The People Can Fly - American...

  Whiting award-winning poet and Distinguished Chair of Humanities at MIT, Dr. Joshua Bennett creates a masterful synthesis of personal narrative and history that illuminates the promises and perils of being labelled a Black prodigy. If our gifts aren’t earned, but given, then what do they require of us? This question is especially charged, historically, within African American communities. In The People Can Fly, Dr. Joshua Bennett explores the complex position of black prodigies—ranging from the 18th century to the present—living in a society that has, all too often, defined blackness as absence; as lack of intellect, or interior life. He examines the question of what it means, costs, to be deemed exceptional given this state of affairs. Especially when such a distinction is framed as the key to individual success in an unfair world, and cause for separation from the people, and places, one cherishes. In this hybrid work of memoir and cultural history, Dr. Bennett turns to the childhood archives of Malcolm X, Stevie Wonder, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Baldwin, June Jordan and others to explore how an expansive array of cultural institutions—Motown Records, the Michigan School for the Blind, and Frederick Douglass Junior High School, for example—helped shape the lives of leading lights in African American culture. He presents this group as having emerged from spaces that were defined not solely by particular educational strategies, but by a shared sense of transcendent purpose. For the first time, Dr. Bennett also shares the ways that his own academic journey mirrors the ebb and flow of being seen both as promising and as a problem. He bolsters this personal narrative by exploring his family history; how it inspired him to study the works of neurodivergent artists and performers like Thomas Wiggins, Oscar Moore, and Stephen Wiltshire. In threading these narratives together, Bennett lays out an astonishing portrait of a tradition within a tradition: a tale of legends and living savants whose work demands our attention, and defense against erasure. With stunning prose and grace, The People Can Fly is an urgent reflection on what it can mean to not just be gifted, but to give one’s gifts away, in the present day. It is a praise song for generations of black dreamers, who dared to imagine another world and build one too. Where ascension is only the beginning.

   Rose Bretécher's  memoir on her long struggle with OCD. Adapted for the 2019 Channel 4 series.
  Rose has OCD, but not as you know it.  Pure  is the brave account of her ten-year struggle with Pure O, a little-known form of the condition, which causes her to experience intrusive sexual thoughts of shocking intensity. 
  Undermined at every turn by her obsessions and enduring years of misdiagnosis and failed therapies, eventually the love of family and friends and her own courage prevailed, inspiring this beautiful and often hilarious memoir of a woman who refused to give up.
  At its core is a lesson for all of us: when it comes to being happy with who we are, there are no neat conclusions.

  Do The Thing - A Science-Backed...

  You already know what to do, so why is doing it still so hard? 
  When motivation fades and life gets messy, most behavior-change advice collapses. Willpower is unreliable. Discipline becomes brittle. And the cycle of trying, failing, and blaming yourself starts all over again. 
  In Do The Thing, behavior change coach Erin Laverone offers a smarter, more empathetic approach to taking action. Grounded in habit science and shaped by more than seventeen years of real-world coaching experience, this book treats behavior change not as a character test, but as a practical, adaptable process. 
  Instead of asking you to try harder, Do The Thing shows you how to design habits that actually fit your life, your environment, and the way your brain really works. You’ll learn how to reduce friction, experiment without shame, and keep moving forward even when motivation disappears. 
  This is not a rigid system or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a flexible, science-backed framework that helps you close the gap between intention and action without perfectionism or self-blame. 
  You don’t need more discipline or more motivation. You need a process that works when real life shows up. 
  Open the book. Do the thing.
