    If you're a fan of Alan Doyle, you'll love and appreciate most of the stories in this book as it serves as the backdrop for a tv series that was never meant to be. Vickie Morgan had been making films and public access tv shows for years when a broadcaster trying to spend their sports budget waltzes into St. John's, Newfoundland during the pandemic (properly masked over Zoom calls of course) and offers Vickie the gig of a lifetime. 
How to Fail at Documentary Filmmaking is a hilarious and poignant story that will give you the courage and compassion necessary to understand the problem probably isn't you.  
"Wow, Vickie’s determination has to be admired. She'll mow her own path, she's a trooper." 
~ Tina Maddigan, author of Written in Stone 
"How To Fail At Documentary Filmmaking: a novelization of the unfinished docu-series adapted from an idea for a book based on true events." ~ Josh Morgan, lives with Vickie, read the book four times

    A Dock. 
A Dog. 
A Doctor. 
A Destiny. 
A Divine Calling. 
Dr. Patrick McLaughlin's life was moving fast, with his dreams and goals on track. Married, raising four kids, serving patients, growing fifty side businesses, and trying to keep up with a full and sometimes chaotic life. 
Then one day, on his coastal North Carolina dock, his world was upended. 
With his life suddenly turned upside down, it took his favorite dog, Bear, to remind him of what was important: to live a full life each and every day. What McLaughlin found through this life transformation, was that these principles were universal in not only every dog, but in every person that he knew who lives with purpose. 
A lifelong personal development learner, McLaughlin meshed these life lessons learned from Bear and powerful books, to reveal The Bear Facts of Life. 
Dr. McLaughlin and his favorite Goldendoodle dog, Bear, take you through these "facts of life" to give the reader a roadmap to what matters most in life. All dogs show these traits each and every day, if we will only take the time to recognize and observe. The Bear Facts of Life serve as invaluable daily reminders to what really matters in this short time we have on Earth.

    John Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
This is not a respectful biography. 
This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
Liberalism 
Landlords 
Legal headaches 
And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
Perfect for: 
Recovering philosophy students 
Political skeptics 
Enlightenment haters 
Property law survivors 
And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

    Let There Be Laughter - A...

    From the host of NPR affiliate’s Forum with Michael Krasny, a compendium of Jewish jokes that packs the punches with hilarious riff after riff and also offers a window into Jewish culture. 
Michael Krasny has been telling Jewish jokes since his bar mitzvah, and it’s been said that he knows more of them than anyone on the planet. He certainly states his case in this wise, enlightening, and hilarious book that not only collects the best of Jewish humor passed down from generation to generation, but explains the cultural expressions and anxieties behind the laughs. 
""What’s Jewish Alzheimer’s?"" 
""You forget everything but the grudges."" 
""You must be so proud. Your daughter is the President of the United States!"" 
""Yes. But her brother is a doctor!"" 
""Isn’t Jewish humor masochistic?"" 
""No. And if I hear that one more time I am going to kill myself."" 
With his background as a scholar and public-radio host, Krasny delves deeply into the themes, topics, and form of Jewish humor: chauvinism undercut by irony and self-mockery, the fear of losing cultural identity through assimilation, the importance of vocal inflection in joke-telling, and calls to communal memory, including the use of Yiddish. 
Borrowing from traditional humor and such Jewish comedy legends as Jackie Mason, Mel Brooks, and Joan Rivers, Larry David, Sarah Silverman, Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer, Let There Be Laughter is an absolute pleasure for the chosen and goyim alike.
