Everyone deserves a mentor.
For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:
Here's how to think about choosing a job.
Here's how to be a better manager.
Here's how to approach design.
Here's how to start a company.
Here's how to run it.
Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.
So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.
But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.
Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.

Elizabeth - An Intimate Portrait
The intimate life story of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, from the royal biographer and writer who knew her family best.
Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in 1968, when he was twenty years old. Over the next fifty years he would meet her many times at both public and private events, his friendship with the Duke of Edinburgh giving him privileged access to Elizabeth II.
Based upon his unrivalled access to royal circles, this is the definitive and intimate biography of Queen Elizabeth II. Telling the story of her remarkable life and reign from a perspective unlike any other, it is his observations of the late monarch at close quarters that make this very personal account of her extraordinary life uniquely fascinating.
From her childhood in the 1920s and her war years at Windsor Castle, to the era of Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, and her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a remarkable woman.
Told with a refreshing dose of humour and moving honesty, Elizabeth is the must-read biography of the longest-serving monarch in English history.

Gandolfini
Based on extensive research and original interviews, this intimate biography reveals the complexities of Gandolfini's character, his rise to fame, and his lasting impact on television and film. “A riveting look inside the mind of a towering talent, this is a must for Sopranos fans."-Publishers Weekly"A fast-moving, entertaining bio of a Hollywood mensch."-KirkusIn Gandolfini, critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini’s roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn’t until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen. Bailey traces his rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience. More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family.

Allies at War
After the fall of France in June 1940, only Britain stood between Hitler and total victory. Desperate for allies, Winston Churchill did all he could to bring the United States into the conflict, drive the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany apart, and persuade neutral countries to resist German domination.
By 1942, after the German invasion of Russia and Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the British-Soviet-American alliance was in place. But it was an incongruous coalition, divided by ideology and riven with mistrust and deceit. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were partners in the fight against Hitler, yet they were also rivals who disagreed on strategy, imperialism and the future of Europe.
Through an unprecedented range of vivid first-hand accounts and unpublished material, we enter the rooms where the critical decisions were made - revealing the political drama behind the military events. Compelling, fast-paced narrative history at its best, Allies at War offers a completely fresh perspective on the Second World War and origins of the Cold War.

But no matter how spotless the clothes, she can’t rid herself of the guilt and grime she feels inside.
