    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.

    Eurotrash - Why America Must...

    Why should America try to be more like countries that are worse in nearly every way?  
    Europe has been declining under the weight of its antiquated institutions, economic fatigue, moral anemia and cultural surrender. Yet American politicians, technocrats, academics, and pundits argue, with increasing popularity, that Americans should look across the Atlantic for solutions to the nation’s problems, including on issues like health care, the welfare state, immigration, and a bloated bureaucracy. 
    In Eurotrash, David Harsanyi argues we are looking in the wrong place. By every economic and societal measure, the United States is more tolerant than Europe. It is more welcoming of immigrants, but also far more successful at assimilating them. Minorities do far better in United States. Our economy is dominant. Only one European company appears in top 10 corporate powerhouses in the world and only seven in the top 50. Americans make up nearly half of the list. 
    Americans are far more charitable and happier than Europeans. Our slightly lower life expectancy and our slightly higher infant mortality rate are not a result of substandard care, but a statistical misunderstanding based on the fact we treat every life as one worth saving. 
    In this biting, fast-moving, and well-researched polemic, Harsanyi debunks prevailing notions about European supremacy and makes an unapologetic case for American exceptionalism, offering insight and reasoned arguments to counter current policy prescriptions.

    China and the Chinese

    Herbert Allen Giles (1845-1935) spent several years as a diplomat in China and in 1897 was appointed Cambridge University’s second professor of Chinese. His published works cover Chinese language and literature, history and philosophy. 
    This series of lectures, published as “China and the Chinese”, was given at Columbia University in 1902, to mark the establishment of a Chinese professorship there. The lectures were not intended for the specialist, more to urge a wider and more systematic study of China and its culture, and to encourage new students into the field. 
    While many of the observations are just as relevant today, others will remind us how much China has changed since the period of the Manchu Qing dynasty in which he wrote.(summary by David Barnes)

    The 7 Wonders of Me: A Journey from Trauma to Healing 
    At age 13, Darnell Davis stood in a courtroom as the key witness in a murder trial that sent his father to prison for life—a moment that shattered his childhood and marked the beginning of a long battle with pain, anger, and self-doubt. The Seven Wonders of Me is Darnell’s deeply personal memoir of navigating the darkness, confronting his deepest wounds, and finding healing against all odds. 
    This book offers readers more than just a story of survival; it is a roadmap to inner peace and personal growth. Using the seven chakras as a guiding framework, Darnell leads readers through each stage of his journey, from the root chakra’s call to rediscover safety and stability, to the crown chakra’s invitation to connect with a higher purpose. Each chapter is filled with raw reflections, spiritual insights, and practical tools that Darnell used to reclaim his life and embrace his own light. 
    In The 7 Wonders of Me, readers will find not only a story of triumph over trauma but also actionable steps for their own healing journey. Whether you are facing your own darkness or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this book serves as a powerful reminder that the path to healing starts from within. 
    Perfect for fans of self-help, memoirs, and spiritual growth, The 7 Wonders of Me is a testament to resilience, forgiveness, and the transformative power of self-love
