  Grey’s Anatomy meets One L in this psychiatrist’s charming and poignant memoir about his residency at Harvard. 
   Adam Stern was a student at a state medical school before being selected to train as a psychiatry resident at one of the most prestigious programs in the country. His new and initially intimidating classmates were high achievers from the Ivy League and other elite universities around the nation. Faculty raved about the group as though the residency program had won the lottery, nicknaming them “The Golden Class,” but would Stern ever prove that he belonged? 
   In his memoir, Stern pulls back the curtain on the intense and emotionally challenging lessons he and his fellow doctors learned while studying the human condition, and ultimately, the value of connection. The narrative focuses on these residents, their growth as doctors, and the life choices they make as they try to survive their grueling four-year residency. Rich with drama, insight, and emotion, Stern shares engrossing stories of life on the psychiatric wards, as well as the group’s experiences as they grapple with impostor syndrome and learn about love and loss. Most importantly, as they study how to help distressed patients in search of a better life, they discover the meaning of failure and the preciousness of success.  
   Stern’s growth as a doctor, and as a man, have readers rooting for him and his patients, and ultimately find their own hearts fuller for having taken this journey with him.

  Become a better birder with brief portraits of 200 top North American birds. This friendly, relatable book is a celebration of the art, science, and delights of bird-watching. How to Know the Birds introduces a new, holistic approach to bird-watching, by noting how behaviors, settings, and seasonal cycles connect with shape, song, color, gender, age distinctions, and other features traditionally used to identify species. With short essays on 200 observable species, expert author Ted Floyd guides us through a year of becoming a better birder, each species representing another useful lesson: from explaining scientific nomenclature to noting how plumage changes with age, from chronicling migration patterns to noting hatchling habits. Dozens of endearing pencil sketches accompany Floyd's charming prose, making this book a unique blend of narrative and field guide. A pleasure for birders of all ages, this witty book promises solid lessons for the beginner and smiles of recognition for the seasoned nature lover.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Expose the software, algorithms, and automated systems making decisions today that will determine your opportunities, options, and life trajectory for years to come. This forward-looking audiobook examines how current data collection and algorithmic classification creates persistent digital profiles that follow you indefinitely, influencing future decisions you cannot predict. Learn how early social media posts, browsing history, purchase patterns, and location data become permanent records used in ways never anticipated when you generated them. The narrator reveals how predictive algorithms project current patterns into future expectations that become self-fulfilling prophecies when institutions rely on these predictions. Discover the feedback loops between algorithmic prediction and opportunity allocation that can lock individuals into trajectories determined by past data regardless of present reality. Understand why data collected for one purpose inevitably finds other uses as systems interconnect and corporations trade information without your knowledge. This audiobook examines the concept of algorithmic fate, where automated systems increasingly determine life outcomes based on computations rather than human judgment or individual agency. Learn what data protection advocates, computer scientists, and civil liberties experts understand about long-term implications of current data practices. Perfect for young people whose digital lives are just beginning and anyone concerned about how present actions create future constraints through hidden technological processes.

  "One of the best new Schizophrenia books" - BookAuthority 
  ★★★★★ Readers' Favorite Book Review. 
  Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a schizophrenic?Beautifully written with raw and candid reflections on the harrowing reality of living with severe schizophrenia, Into the Darkness invites you to join author Darren Smith as he reveals the heart-wrenching reality of being unable to tell real life from psychosis. 
  In this intimate tell-all memoir, Darren takes readers on an unparalleled journey into his disorder, shining a light on the confusion, delusional thoughts, tormenting voices, and persistent paranoia that defined decades of his life—from his troubled childhood when he experienced his very first delusion to struggling to survive as an adult in a frightening world. 
  And as his grip on reality grows increasingly fragile, Darren recounts the self-destructive coping mechanisms that pushed him deeper down the rabbit hole and towards the dreadful nightmare realm of a full-fledged schizophrenic break. 
  But amid the darkness of adolescent bullying, a painful parental divorce, and an adulthood filled with unrelenting hallucinations, Darren reveals how he fought a years-long battle and triumphed over insurmountable challenges, unlocking a wellspring of hope that helped him achieve victory over his inner demons and grow into the person he is today. 
  As a must-read for fellow sufferers of schizophrenia, as well as for therapists and mental health professionals, Into the Darkness is equal parts shocking and illuminating. This book draws you into not only Darren’s life, but also the lives of the friends and family who stuck with him, giving readers a unique and thought-provoking inside view of this multifaceted condition.
