  "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is kind of like if Eat, Pray, Love were written by your funniest friend." —Rachel Dratch 
   
   
   
  Kristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed. 
   
   
   
  Kristin introduces listeners to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road—a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is a compelling debut that will have listeners rushing to renew their passports.

  This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Ignatius of Loyola was a Spanish priest and theologian, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and became its first Superior General. He is one of the most influential figures in the Counter-Reformation, and his legacy continues to this day through the work of the Jesuits in education, missionary work, and social justice. 
  Ignatius was born into a Basque noble family in 1491. As a young man, he pursued a career as a soldier, but was seriously injured in battle in 1521. During his convalescence, he experienced a profound religious conversion. After a period of spiritual discernment, Ignatius decided to devote his life to God. 
  Ignatius spent the next several years studying theology and philosophy. In 1534, he and six companions founded the Society of Jesus, a religious order dedicated to serving the Church. The Jesuits quickly gained a reputation for their zeal, discipline, and intellectual rigor.

  Henry Louis Gehrig (June 19, 1903 to June 2, 1941), born in New York City, was an American baseball player who played 17 seasons for the New York Yankees (1923–1939). Gehrig was renowned for his prowess as a hitter and for his durability, which earned him the nickname the "Iron Horse," and he is regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Gehrig was an All-Star seven consecutive times, a Triple Crown winner once, an American League Most Valuable Player twice and a member of six World Series championship teams. He had a career .340 batting average, hit 493 home runs, and had 1,995 RBIs. He is also one of 19 players to hit four home runs in a single game. In 1939, Gehrig was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and was the first MLB player to have his uniform number retired by a team, when his number 4 was retired by the Yankees. The following recording is a radio interview from August 1939 after Gehrig had retired from baseball due to his illness, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neuromuscular illness which, since then, is often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease."

  The Farmer’s Code takes you on a hero’s journey of self-development. It follows a path of transformation and growth to help you become your true, highest self. This journey will lead to a greater understanding of the self and a deeper connection to one’s own values and core principles, which paves the way for a long-lasting legacy.  Legacies provide a roadmap for future generations, showing those who follow your footsteps what is possible as they strive to reach their full potential. Filled with personal stories of the struggles and triumphs of one American farming family, the Code shows how legacies are about more than just personal fulfillment. They can have a profound impact on the lives of others by serving as a guiding light to those who are seeking a better way to live. Just as airline passengers are instructed to see to their own oxygen masks first in the event of an emergency before helping others, legacy building has to start with the self. When you are safe, secure, and strong, you are in a much better position to turn outward to help others. It is then that you can help address societal challenges, advance knowledge and innovation, promote social change, or support the important causes you see in your community.  The Farmer’s Code should spark aspirations, ignite passion, and encourage everyone to strive for greatness. By considering the lasting impact you can make, you will be able to live more purposefully and leave a more positive imprint on the world.

  From Anthony Pellicano—"Hollywood Fixer"—comes his first work of not-so-fictional fiction.
  The world's most infamous and sought-after private investigator got his start on the streets of South Chicago in the 1960s. After decades as a private eye to dozens of celebrity clients—and a 17-year prison stint to protect their confidences—Anthony Pellicano returns to the spotlight, this time with his first novel, The Neighborhood.
  
  This is the story of best friends— brothers really—Paulie and Vincent, who grew up without fathers on Chicago's southside. Paulie learns how to be a man from TV cop shows, while Vincent's role models are the wise guys on street corners. Paulie joins the FBI with hopes to escape his past, while Vincent becomes a private investigator who works for the "family" business. When the two men reconcile, they are torn between devotion to each other and loyalty to their respective organizations. Despite a blood oath that Paulie and Vincent made to their friendship, someone may have to die for it.
  
  A gritty glimpse into Chicago's criminal underworld, this novel pulsates with more authenticity than any gangster true crime. If you want to know how things were done—and are still done—on the streets of Chicago, The Neighborhood is the book to read.
