This Is the Fire
Author: Don Lemon
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 031625777X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
In this "vital book for these times" (Kirkus Reviews), Don Lemon brings his vast audience and experience as a reporter and a Black man to today's most urgent question: How can we end racism in America in our lifetimes? The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic flaws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to fix them. Beginning with a letter to one of his Black nephews, he proceeds with reporting and reflections on his slave ancestors, his upbringing in the shadows of segregation, and his adult confrontations with politicians, activists, and scholars. In doing so, Lemon offers a searing and poetic ultimatum to America. He visits the slave port where a direct ancestor was shackled and shipped to America. He recalls a slave uprising in Louisiana, just a few miles from his birthplace. And he takes us to the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City. As he writes to his young nephew: We must resist racism every single day. We must resist it with love.

"Don't You Know Who I Am?"
Author: Ramani S. Durvasula Ph.D
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN: 168261753X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
“Don’t You Know Who I Am?” has become the mantra of the famous and infamous, the entitled and the insecure. It’s the tagline of the modern narcissist. Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized. They are manifestations of pathological insecurity—insecurities that are experienced at both the individual and societal level. The paradox is that we value these patterns. We venerate them through social media, mainstream media, and consumerism, and they are endemic in political, corporate, academic, and media leaders. There are few lives untouched by narcissists. These relationships infect those who are in them with self-doubt, despair, confusion, anxiety, depression, and the chronic feeling of being “not enough,” all of which make it so difficult to step away and set boundaries. The illusion of hope and the fantasy of redemption can result in years of second chances, and despondency when change never comes. It’s time for a wake-up call. It’s time to stem the tide of narcissism, entitlement, and antagonism, and take our lives back.

Pages : 92
Book Description
The shadows run deep in the city of Lago. Behind the glimmering façades and halls of power, a parallel world exists, hidden from ordinary citizens. It is a realm of mafia families, backroom deals, and businesses masking illicit empires. A place where territory is claimed in blood, and weakness is exploited without mercy. Many deny this darkness undermining society, but it permeates every level of their lives, whether they choose to see it or not. Into this cynical web steps Vincenzo, exiled son of a legendary mafia boss. Lured by the promise of power and ready to shake up the existing hierarchies, Vincenzo intends to carve out his own fearsome legacy. But first he must navigate rivals both inside and outside the mafia commission overseeing Lago. And as Vincenzo claws his way to the top through cunning and ruthlessness, he will find out just how many moral compromises dominion requires. This is a story of ambition and loyalty, betrayal and revenge. Of an empire built rapidly through violence and intimidation, only to crumble from internal rot. It is a cautionary tale of how even noble intentions become distorted when driven solely by ends justifying means. Most of all, this chronicle reveals the constant struggles between light and darkness raging within every soul, community, and age.

Perfectly Confident
Author: Don A. Moore
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062887777
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
An expert on the psychology of decision making at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business helps readers calibrate their confidence, arguing that some confidence is good, but overconfidence can hinder growth. A surge of confidence can feel fantastic—offering a rush of energy, even a dazzling vision of the future. It can give us courage and bolster our determination when facing adversity. But if that self-assurance leads us to pursue impossible goals, it can waste time, money, and energy. Self-help books and motivational speakers tell us that the more confident we are, the better. But this way of thinking can lead to enormous trouble. Decades of research demonstrates that we often have an over-inflated sense of self and are rarely as good as we believe. Perfectly Confident is the first book to bring together the best psychological and economic studies to explain exactly what confidence is, when it can be helpful, and when it can be destructive in our lives. Confidence is an attitude that takes into account both personal feelings and the facts. Don Moore identifies the ways confidence behaves in real life and raises thought-provoking questions. How optimistic should you be about an uncertain future? What justifies your confidence in something amorphous and subjective like your attractiveness or sense of humor? Moore reminds us that the key to success is to avoid being both over- and under-confident. In this essential guide, he shows how to become perfectly confident—how to strive for and maintain the well-calibrated, adaptive confidence that can elevate all areas of our lives.
