Book Description
What if your brain were divided into pieces of land: six distinct territories, each with its own distinct 'laws of nature'? What if each time you visited one, it took control of your thoughts and feelings? What if, all of a sudden and for no reason, you couldn't make up your mind, or you just felt lost and confused? Tony Kirkland, MS, a former psychotherapist in NYC, discovered six such places where we collectively gather. These are not physical places, of course, but they might as well be. There are six regions in our brains that, once we enter them, control what we experience. We all move from one region to another, or remain 'stuck' in one... hoping we will find happiness. But what if there is really no happiness to be found in our brains? What if happiness is located in a totally different, as yet unexplored location: the mind! What is the difference really between the brain and the mind? We all suspect there's a difference, but no one has been able to answer the question definitively. The mind holds the key to eternal joy. The brain tries to solve problems and figure things out, yet only makes matters worse. What Tony discovered is that, collectively, we have all found a home in those brain territories. Some of us have multiple homes, and we move around from area to area. We try to avoid unpleasant feelings like loneliness, disappointment, boredom, and powerlessness. Instead of experiencing these things, we just change locations or pretend that things are not the way they are. We move around and around until we die, and we call that life. Tony offers a different option. This book is about six people who set out to discover their minds. The mind is embodied in a place called the Stream. The six travelers start their journey determined to make it to the Stream, but, one by one, they drop out, settling down in the different brain territories instead. What they must confront to move on proves to be too difficult for most of them. Through the journeys of the six characters, this book explores one central question: What does it take to discover true transcendence?

Book Description
Around 60,000 years ago, a man, genetically identical to us, lived in Africa. Every person alive today is descended from him. How did this real-life Adam wind up as the father of us all? What happened to the descendants of other men who lived at the same time? And why, if modern humans share a single prehistoric ancestor, do we come in so many sizes, shapes, and races? Examining the hidden secrets of human evolution in our genetic code, the author reveals how developments in the revolutionary science of population genetics have made it possible to create a family tree for the whole of humanity. Replete with marvelous anecdotes and remarkable information, from the truth about the real Adam and Eve to the way differing racial types emerged, this book is an enthralling, epic tour through the history and development of early humankind.

Book Description
Now a limited Netflix series starring Zoe Saldana! This Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller is “a captivating story of love lost and found” (Kirkus Reviews) set in the lush Sicilian countryside, where one woman discovers the healing powers of food, family, and unexpected grace in her darkest hours. It was love at first sight when actress Tembi met professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was just one problem: Saro’s traditional Sicilian family did not approve of his marrying a black American woman. However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forged on. They built a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships, and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopted at birth. Eventually, they reconciled with Saro’s family just as he faced a formidable cancer that would consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro’s family, now she finds solace and nourishment—literally and spiritually—at her mother-in-law’s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on her and Saro’s romance—an incredible love story that leaps off the pages. In Sicily, it is said that every story begins with a marriage or a death—in Tembi Locke’s case, it is both. “Locke’s raw and heartfelt memoir will uplift readers suffering from the loss of their own loved ones” (Publishers Weekly), but her story is also about love, finding a home, and chasing flavor as an act of remembrance. From Scratch is for anyone who has dared to reach for big love, fought for what mattered most, and those who needed a powerful reminder that life is...delicious.
