A few fabulous trips. Eight crazy people. Tons of mad drama. “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” For the eight members of the Destination: Anticipation Travel Club (DAT Club) — this popular motto doesn’t exactly ring true. The group is sorely reminded that dirt is dirt is dirt, no matter where it happens and eventually folks are going to find out about it, no matter how hard they try to cover up their individual misdeeds. Identical twins Madetra Howard, a frustrated, inner-city hospital doctor and Elantra Evans, a stripper/web-porn operator, start a travel club and along for the ride are: Madetra’s uncaring husband who secretly loves his sister-in-law and is hell-bent on distancing himself from his humble beginnings, a self-absorbed local TV anchorman who develops a thing for every woman he meets, a mysterious psychiatrist who is nuttier than his patients, a female TV news producer whose affair with a fellow travel club member leaves her pregnant and reeling, a reporter whose Sex & The Single Sistah column reveals a little too much about the city’s elite and a petty drug dealer/minor league baseball player who will do anything or anyone to get out of the cut and into the major leagues. For DAT Club, all hell breaks loose following a trip to Las Vegas. With secrets as deep and twisted as the road is long — everyone is in peril when a blackmailer and killer among them makes their presence known. Each of them must learn for themselves there are consequences to be paid for their actions — and when the men start dying off — the women start questioning their allegiances, their safety and their sanity. To put it simply, these folks are TRIPPIN’. So sit back, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy this explosive, drama-filled literary ride.

Hurts So Good

Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541798023
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
An exploration of why people all over the world love to engage in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performers Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers. At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better—a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Leigh Cowart would know: they are not just a researcher and science writer—they’re an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. And they have a few questions: Why do people engage in masochism? What are the benefits and the costs? And what does masochism have to say about the human experience? By participating in many of these activities themselves, and through conversations with psychologists, fellow scientists, and people who seek pain for pleasure, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain—a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.

Dopamine Nation

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES and LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant . . . riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued.”—Beth Macy, author of Dopesick This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption. In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.
