  BURNOUT DIARIES is the gritty, personal account of Janna Donovan, a marketing manager who found herself battling burnout in a foreign country. It details the distrust, shame, and secrecy that eventually led to panic events, depression, and plans for suicide. 
  “Absolutely amazing book.” “I could not put this book down!” “Beautifully written, honest and revealing.” “Gripping read… Donovan's struggle was vivid, yet relatable.” “I couldn't get enough, I devoured this book in an afternoon. It left me wanting more.” 
  The story reads more like a novel than a business book. It’s funny and tragic and “Did she really go there?” rolled into one fascinating true story. Based on Janna Donovan’s personal diaries, it is different from other business stress books. The author outs herself, broken heart and all. 
  Janna is a business manager who has worked for a multinational company, a .com startup, and a retailer. She now helps individuals with high amounts of work stress and worry. She became a therapist, after seeing firsthand what anxiety disorders, depression and burnout do to us. She shares what she went through and answers the question, “Why am I like this?” Her experience can help you break up with anger, resentment, anxiety and guilt. 
  Listeners who would benefit from listening to this book: 
  • Tired professionals who feel like what they do is never enough 
  • Power contributors who take on twice the workload of their peers 
  • People who experience unhealthy work stress in any job worked 
  • Anyone who loves a workaholic 
  “Donovan's formatting had me finishing the book in 72 hours… a fast-paced read.” “So many "self-help" books read as a textbook. This one is relatable, witty, and relevant.” “This book helped me get closure I didn't know I needed.”

  The Betrayal - How Mitch...

  In two previous highly regarded books on the US Senate, Ira Shapiro chronicled the institution from its apogee in the 1970s through its decline in the decades since. Now, Shapiro turns his gaze to how the Senate responded to the challenges posed by the Trump administration and its prospects under President Biden. The Founding Fathers gave the US Senate many functions, but it had one fundamental responsibility—its raison d'etre: to provide the check against a dangerous president who threatened our democracy. Two hundred and thirty years later, when Donald Trump, a potential authoritarian, finally reached the White House, the Senate should have served as both America's first and last lines of defense. Instead, we had the nightmare scenario: today's Senate, reduced through a long period of decline to a hyper-partisan, gridlocked shadow of its former self, was unable to meet its fundamental responsibility. Shapiro documents the pivotal challenges facing the Senate during the Trump administration, arguing that the body's failure to provide leadership represents the most catastrophic failure of government in American history. The last section covers the Senate's performance during President Biden's first year in office and looks forward to the 2022 Senate elections and beyond.

  The Good Fight - Why...

  Once upon a time, liberals knew what they believed. They believed America must lead the world by persuasion, not command. And they believed that by championing freedom overseas, America itself could become more free. That liberal spirit won America's trust at the dawn of the Cold War. Then it collapsed in the wake of Vietnam. Now, after 9/11, and the failed presidency of George W. Bush, America needs it back. 
  In this powerful and provocative book, Peter Beinart offers a new liberal vision, based on principles liberals too often forget: That America's goodness cannot simply be asserted; it must be proved. That American leadership is not American empire. And that liberalism cannot merely define itself against the right, but must oppose the totalitarianism that blighted Europe a half century ago, and which stalks the Islamic world today. 
  With liberals severed from their own history, conservatives have drawn on theirs -- the principles of national chauvinism and moral complacency that America once rejected. The country will reject them again, and embrace the creed that brought it greatness before. But only if liberals remember what that means. It means an unyielding hostility to totalitarianism -- and a recognition that defeating it requires bringing hope to the bleakest corners of the globe. And it means understanding that democracy begins at home. 
  Peter Beinart's The Good Fight is a passionate rejoinder to the conservatives who have ruled Washington since 9/11. It is an intellectual lifeline for a Democratic Party lying flat on its back. And it is a call for liberals to revive the spirit that swept America, and inspired the world.

  Queer City - Gay London from the...

  Peter Ackroyd

  In Queer City, the acclaimed Peter Ackroyd looks at London in a whole new way—through the complete history and experiences of its gay and lesbian population. In Roman Londinium, the city was dotted with lupanaria (“wolf dens” or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels), and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks, and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure. Ackroyd takes us right into the hidden history of the city; from the notorious Normans to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early nineteenth century. He journeys through the coffee bars of sixties Soho to Gay Liberation, disco music, and the horror of AIDS. Ackroyd reveals the hidden story of London, with its diversity, thrills, and energy, as well as its terrors, dangers, and risks, and in doing so, explains the origins of all English-speaking gay culture.
