But You Look So Normal - Lost...

Claudia Marseille

By age four, Claudia Marseille had hardly uttered a word. When her parents finally had her hearing tested and learned she had a severe hearing loss, they chose to mainstream her, hoping this would offer her the most “normal” childhood possible. With the help of a primitive hearing aid, Claudia worked hard to learn to hear, lipread, and speak even as she tried to hide her disability in order to fit in. As a result, she was often misunderstood, lonely, and isolated—fitting into neither the hearing world nor the Deaf culture. 
This memoir explores Claudia’s relationships with her German refugee parents—a disturbed, psychoanalyst father obsessed over various harebrained projects and moneymaking schemes and a Jewish mother who had survived the Holocaust in Munich—and with her own identity. Claudia shares how she emerged from loneliness and social isolation, explored her Jewish identity, struggled to find a career compatible with hearing loss, and eventually opened herself to a life of creativity and love. 
But You Look So Normal is the inspiring story of a life affected but not defined by an invisible disability. It is a journey through family, loss, shame, identity, love, and healing as Claudia finally, joyfully, finds her place in the world.

Principles became a #1 New York Times Bestseller for very specific reasons…
(Note: This is a SUMMARY of Ray Dalio's bestseller, Principles: Life & Work)
Ray Dalio was raised in a middle-class family in Long Island, NY, and later became one of the 100 wealthiest people in the world (according to Forbes). He found Bridgewater Associates out of his two-bedroom apartment and grew it to become the world’s most successful hedge fund managing over $160 billion in assets.
Dalio's simple but profound principles took 40 years to perfect. Each time Dalio and his partners encountered a new problem or challenge, they tried to find the underlying principle at work and tried to learn from their pain and struggle.
It is no surprise Dalio has been called the “Da Vinci” of investing, but his knowledge base spreads much wider than the world economy. He is a bold and independent thinker with unusual and grounded ideas on how to grow a successful company and live a fuller life.
Dalio's principles will inspire any entrepreneur, high-caliber professional, or simply anyone who wants to find practical ways to make better decisions, deal with reality, and improve their lot in life.

Don't Boil The Canary - and...

Ted Simon

From the time Ted Simon set off around the world on his Triumph, at the age of 42, his life has been, literally, an open book. In everything he has written since that journey began no-one has been more forthcoming about his life, his thoughts and feelings, than Ted. Yet almost nothing is known about his life before that journey. 
So that his own children – one son, two grandsons – would have a better idea of who he is or was, he began to write an account which, inevitably, grew into a book. These are the earlier “interruptions” of a rich and varied life narrated by the man himself.
