LOUD - How a Shy Nerd Came to...

Angelo Cataldi

For over three decades, Angelo Cataldi was the on-air voice of Philadelphia sports fans, leading the charge with unabashed zeal and infectious energy.

Through it all, Cataldi remained dedicated to his mission of talking about what the city was talking about, in the same tone. And that tone was loud, passionate, and unapologetically real.

Unscript

Christian O'Connell

From the award-winning broadcaster, and author of No One Listens to your Dad’s Show, comes a radical self-development book that strips away the scripts that keep us disconnected and shows how to reclaim our real, authentic selves.  
 
Christian O'Connell is the only broadcaster in history to achieve #1 ratings on two continents and is the first National Breakfast host in Australian radio history. For almost 30 years he has connected with millions of people daily — without scripts, without safety nets, and often without a plan. He's written a warm, funny and deeply honest guide to the one thing we're all starving for: real human connection. 
 
In Unscript, Christian shows how invisible scripts — handed to us by family, culture and fear — quietly run our conversations, our relationships and our lives. We perform when we could be present. We impress when we could express. And the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be keeps growing. 
 
With his WAVES framework — Wonder, Attune, Vulnerability, Enjoy and Surf — Christian offers a way back. Not to a better version of yourself, but to the real one. The one that was always there, underneath the act. 
 
The real you — unpolished, unscripted and gloriously imperfect — is not the problem. You don't need to become someone new. You just need to remember who you already are. 
 
Because your magic is in the mess.

Moving Up

Reginald Tshepo Pheqe

Born in the dust of Pella, Reginald Tshepo Pheqe grew up barefoot, chasing whirlwinds, drawing strength from a grandmother's stories, and measuring survival in buckets of rainwater. His childhood carried the weight of hunger, the silence of apartheid classrooms, and the unyielding hope of distant city lights. 
Moving Up is not simply a memoir of hardship-it is a meditation on resilience, belonging, and the enduring dialogue between the boy he was and the man he became. With prose both tender and unflinching, Pheqe charts his passage from village paths to city streets, from silence to voice, from invisibility to recognition. 
This is a story for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in their own life, and for those who believe that dignity is not granted, but earned. 
Because in the end, Reginald Pheqe proves one timeless truth: you can take the boy out of the dust, but you cannot take the dust out of the man who rises.

Let's Go Exploring: Calvin and...

Michael Hingston

A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world.  
 
The story of a boy and his best friend ― a stuffed tiger ― was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination ― its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations ― helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.

There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty."
