Read This to Look Cool
This book won’t fix you, but imagine how cool you’ll look carrying it around…
Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been … mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she’s one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word “bespoke,” and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She’ll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?).
With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures?like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald’s so she wouldn’t come off as dramatic?and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites readers into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility.
Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a deeply relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It’s a book that says “I see you” and also “Don’t look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird.”

Wittgenstein, Human Beings and Conversation
This book brings together David Cockburn’s best work on Wittgensteinian themes relating to ‘mind’ and ‘language’. While none of these papers is well described as ‘exegetical’, most are discussions of Wittgenstein, and all are discussions of themes central to his later work and strongly influenced by it. The papers can be roughly divided between ‘the philosophy of mind’ and ‘the philosophy of language’. They are, however, united by the idea that this standard classification of topics stands in the way of clear thinking about core issues, and, closely connected with that, united by the idea that the notion of a human being must be central to any philosophical treatment of them. Cockburn’s approach is marked by the detailed attention given to the human bodily form, and his approach to language by the central place given to the idea of conversation. The discussions are enriched by incorporating some consideration of our relation to non-human creatures. The papers are linked by an insistence on the inescapably ethical dimension of any adequate discussion of these issues. While the debt to Wittgenstein is enormous, a number of the papers involve what may be significant criticisms of him.

Cat-Life Balance 1
In this office romance manga with a feline twist, a people-pleaser flirting with burnout discovers his antisocial coworker's secret: She only smiles when she's playing with stray cats! Now he's got a choice: Keep up the facade and keep saying "yes" to every extra task and happy hour, or risk his perfect work image to sneak off for some simple, frisky fun? Fans of Sweat & Soap and Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You will love this new series from the creator of Cells at Work! Lady. Everyone at work loves Mamoru, because Mamoru never says no. Replacing lightbulbs, carrying boxes, taking over an impossible client from a retiring colleague… He'll do it all, and it's earned him the nickname "Prince of the Office." This glittering extrovert's opposite at work is Kurone, a quiet woman in another department who soaks up her boss's senseless mood swings with a blank stoicism. After one particularly long day, Mamoru is thrilled to be walking home alone, sipping a beer (because all his colleagues went drinking and left him to work overtime), when he encounters something strange: The usually glum Kurone is in the park, gleefully playing with stray cats. This secret seems silly, but it brings Kurone joy. It's the start of an unlikely relationship that will lead Mamoru to start reflecting on his life and who he really wants to share it with. Is work really all there is, or can he strike a balance with the help of these fluffy new friends--and a human who might become something more?
Yesterday
The first major account of this transformative period in the history of Great BritainBetween 1990 and 2020, the United Kingdom experienced tension between unparalleled social change and a pragmatic political culture which sought continuity, compromise and gradualism. Thatcher’s legacy was slowly digested, Blair’s ‘New Labour’ thoroughly scrutinized and the decision was made after forty-seven years to leave the European Union. The UK’s long-established major institutions—monarchy, parliament and the union between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—were sorely tested. Yesterday provides the first fully documented history of this pivotal time in Great Britain. Was the UK in decline? Brian Harrison points to Britain’s unsuccessful adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan and its relative economic decline, underfunded hospitals, sink schools, over-filled prisons and terrorism of both Irish and Islamic varieties. Yet there were successes. Harrison shows how the UK’s participatory institutions outmanoeuvred terrorism and precariously surmounted regional, intergenerational, ethnic and social-class tensions. This vibrant, creative society saw major improvements in time, place and recruitment for work, as well as growth and innovation in conservation, digitization, tourism, consumerism, sport and the arts. Some changes were revolutionary: in family life and relations between the generations, and in the ever-changing electronic media. And if religious observance was in decline, immigrants were introducing new faiths and even a revived religious fervour while attitudes to health and death were changing fast. A panoramic and wide-ranging analysis by a scholar at the height of his powers, Yesterday paints an evocative, richly textured portrait of a people who were shedding their complacency and insularity and bracing themselves to face a very different but promising future.
Live Your Promise
A transformational guide that blends psychology, life coaching, and spiritual insight to help heal past wounds, navigate life’s toughest seasons, and manifest lasting success and inner peace. Drawing from a decade of experience working with elite clients—from celebrities and athletes to CEOs and pastors—Dr. Bryant reveals a universal truth: success doesn’t shield anyone from trauma, emptiness, or the mental toll of unhealed wounds. In fact, the higher you climb, the more that unresolved pain threatens to undo everything you’ve built. Her unique, psychology-integrated coaching method offers a powerful alternative to traditional therapy—fast, effective, and rooted in both science and spirit. Dr. Cheyenne Bryant shares her own remarkable journey—from a chaotic, love-filled upbringing in a multigenerational home to building a multimillion-dollar estate where her family now lives and thrives—and opens the gates to both her physical paradise and the spiritual and psychological path that got her there. Inspired by the biblical story of Moses, Live Your Promise reframes the challenging in-between moments of life as sacred territory for transformation. It's not the Promised Land, but the wilderness—where discomfort meets divine growth—that shapes who we become. With tools, strategies, and real-life insights, this book is your guide to navigating that wilderness with courage, clarity, and grace. Whether you're just starting out or already living your dream, Live Your Promise will help you sustain success, find lasting peace, and manifest the life you were meant to live.
