  Friction - Why we're paying...

  Why the life we made easier still feels hard to live 
  "Eliot Mannoia asks a quiet yet unsettling question: what makes us human in a world where life no longer presents us with challenges?" — Prof. Dr. Sabine T. Köszegi, Chair of the UNESCO Advisory Board on AI Ethics, Austria 
  We take the escalator all day, then pay a gym to climb its stairs. We download meditation apps to recover the stillness our devices helped erode. We swipe for connection in cities packed with people. A multi-trillion-dollar wellness industry now sells back the effort, focus, and texture that ordinary life once gave us for free. 
  In Friction, Eliot Mannoia names a defining contradiction of modern life: we pay once for the technologies that remove friction, and again for the products and services that sell it back to us. 
  Drawing on observations from London to Tokyo to São Paulo, Mannoia introduces the idea of Artificial Hardship: the deliberate reintroduction of challenge, effort, and presence into lives made too frictionless. He connects the dots between the wellness boom, rising loneliness, and our growing hunger for meaning, depth, and human contact. 
  Friction is not anti-technology. It is a deeply researched, practical guide for living well with progress without losing the parts of ourselves that convenience cannot replace. 
  Inside, you’ll find:A close look at the impact of technology on our next generationThe Human Curve: why the winding path matters more than the straight oneThe Friction Compass: a practical tool for deciding when to add effort and when to remove itStrange Symmetry: how humans grow more efficient and machines grow more emotionally fluent, and where they meet 
  A book for anyone who senses that something essential is being smoothed away. 
  For readers of Stolen Focus, Four Thousand Weeks, Dopamine Nation, and How to Do Nothing.

  Agreeing to Disagree - How the...

  The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", may be the most contentious and misunderstood provision of the entire United States Constitution. What exactly is an "establishment of religion"? And what is a law "respecting" it? 
   
   
   
  Many commentators reduce the clause to "the separation of church and state." This implies that church and state are at odds, that the public sphere must be secular, and that the Establishment Clause is in tension with the Free Exercise of Religion Clause. All of these implications misconstrue the Establishment Clause's original purpose. The clause facilitates religious diversity and guarantees equality of religious freedom by prohibiting the government from coercing or inducing citizens to change their religious beliefs and practices. 
   
   
   
  In Agreeing to Disagree, Nathan S. Chapman and Michael W. McConnell detail the theological, political, and philosophical underpinnings of the Establishment Clause, state disestablishment, and the disestablishment norms applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. In one of the most thorough accounts of the Establishment Clause, Chapman and McConnell argue that the clause is best understood as a constitutional commitment for Americans to agree to disagree about matters of faith.

  The idea that you could be more but got in your own way should wake you up in the middle of the night. Dave Hollis used to think that “personal growth” was just for broken people, then he woke up. 
  When a looming career funk, a growing drinking problem, and a challenging trek through therapy battered Dave Hollis, a Disney executive and father of four, he began to realize he was letting untruths about himself dictate his life. As he sank to the bottom of his valley, he had to make a choice. Would he push himself out of his comfort zone to become the best man he was capable of being, or would he play it safe and settle for mediocrity? 
  In Get Out of Your Own Way, Dave tackles topics he once found it difficult to be honest about, things like his struggles with alcohol and his insecurities about being a dad. 
  Offering encouragement, challenges, and a hundred moments to laugh, Dave will help you:Discover the way for those of us who are, like he was, skeptical of self-help but wanting something more than the status quoDrop negative ideas about who we are supposed to be and finally start living as who we really areSee our own journeys more clearly as he unpacks the lies he once believed—such as “I Have to Have It All Together” and “Failure Means You’re Weak”Learn the tools that helped him change his life, and may change your life too 
  Get Out of Your Own Way is a call to arms for anyone who’s interested in a more fulfilled life, who, along the way, may have lost their “why” and now wonders how to unlock their potential or be better for their loved ones.

  We're all looking for that perfect balance between loving ourselves and becoming the best person we can be. But it's going to take more than bubble baths, wine, $8 lattes, affirmations, and other bullsh*t social media has deemed essential for #selfcare and #selfimprovement. 
   
   
   
  To truly become your best self, you have to be a little more . . . 
   
   
   
  SELFISH. 
   
   
   
  Selfishness is perhaps the world's most controversial, undesirable, and misunderstood trait—particularly for women. In our lives, we bend over backward to avoid this stigmatizing label. 
   
   
   
  But what if we didn't? 
   
   
   
  In Self-ish, clinical psychologist Sunita Osborn challenges what we think we know about selfishness. With radical candor and bold humor, she dispels the myths and distortions that surround the fundamental psychological concepts of self-care, self-trust, self-love, and self-discipline, explaining how these terms have become empty badges of honor because of social media, societal norms, and our upbringings. 
   
   
   
  Dr. Osborn urges women everywhere to unapologetically nurture their personal growth with strength and wisdom, blazing a path to self-leadership with encouragement, tools, and concrete steps to level-up their whole selves.
