  My Diary of Failures: The 1980s and 1990s is a laugh-out-loud memoir that dives headfirst into the chaotic, awkward, and hilariously messy life of Kimberly Dennis. Growing up in Brooklyn during the 1980s, Kimberly navigates middle school embarrassments, disastrous family outings, and the relentless horrors of teenage fashion. By the 1990s, she's fumbling through early adulthood with a cocktail of bad decisions, failed jobs, and cringe-worthy dating misadventures—all while trying to figure out what it really means to be an adult. 
  With razor-sharp wit and unfiltered honesty, Kimberly turns her relentless string of failures into relatable, comedic triumphs. From triggering fire alarms in a college dorm to a Y2K party that ends in total disaster, her life is a series of "what not to do" moments that will leave you laughing, cringing, and rooting for her all at once. 
  This book is for anyone who's ever felt like they were one bad decision away from chaos—or who just needs a reminder that failure can be pretty damn funny.

  Have you ever wondered how to lead your teams effectively? In Foundational Leadership, Robert Griggs shares the story of his encounter with Jack Stack, author of The Great Game of Business. This first interaction changed Robert’s life and it formed the basis for an entirely different way to view leadership – one where leaders led with an open book and were willing to share the ins and outs of how a company was run. As Robert shares, this approach, while unsettling in the early days of its implementation at Trinity Products, completely changed the way he and his team did business. Through the utilization of concepts such as profit sharing, benchmarks, scoreboards, and continuous improvement, Robert has created a company that continues to grow from year to year.

  What happened next? It’s the question Jill Stark has been asked most often since the publication of her acclaimed memoir, High Sobriety. 
   
   
  Now, in this updated and extended 10th Anniversary edition, narrated this time by Jill herself, she retells and continues her story.  
   
  As one of the original pioneers in the ‘quit lit’ space, Jill started a national conversation about the role of alcohol in our lives, turning the lens on her own rocky relationship with booze and forensically dissecting the culture that gave rise to it. 
    
  Now, ten years after the book’s first release, she fills in the gaps on where life took her after she unwittingly became the poster girl for sobriety. In this updated edition, Jill charts her struggle to become a moderate drinker, the crippling ‘hangxiety’ that led to her quitting alcohol for good, and the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery sobriety has taken her on. 
    
  Surviving six long lockdowns alcohol-free, Jill also looks at how a global pandemic tested her sobriety and shone a spotlight on the way alcohol has been sold as the panacea for all our troubles. At the same time, it helped accelerate a seismic change in the nation’s drinking habits, with the rise of the sober-curious movement and a booming non-alcoholic drinks industry proving there is a growing appetite for abstinence. 
    
  After so long feeling like a social pariah, Jill embraces the joy of living life on the outer, and meets a new generation of sober rebels who are radically redefining what it means to be alcohol-free. Now she feels prompted to ask the question, has sobriety become cool?

  The True Story of Legion - A...

  This story is about a man who had his feelings bottled up for way too long. Not able to tell his family why he did the things he did and not able to recoup the lost years away from the people who he loved. In the Mexican-American community, you never show your sadness, your pain, or weakness. As an act of pride, you always keep all your emotions to yourself like as if nothing is wrong. Showing everyone that you're not suffering and everything is fine is strength. 
  I couldn't do that anymore; it was tearing me up from within. I felt that by writing my story, I was finally explaining and apologizing at the same time to my family for leaving so long ago and why I tend to stick to myself in the present. Writing my story has been a form of therapy for me, if you will, a way to release all those negative feelings that have been inside my head for some time now. 
  It feels like coming up out of the water and taking a big gulp of air after being under for so long, and I can breathe again now. My life has been harder than most but easier than a lot of people. I thank God for guiding me and protecting me through my journey. But I still wouldn't change any part of what happened back then because it wouldn't have brought me here. I have no regrets.
