Letters to Misty
New York Times bestselling author and first black female American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland offers “[a]ffirming life lessons to encourage athletes, creatives, and everyday dreamers” (Kirkus Reviews) based on letters she’s received over the years from fans. As the first African American principal female dancer at American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland has spent most of her career navigating a white-dominated industry that puts many barriers in her path. Through it all, Misty has credited the many mentors who have helped her become the dancer and person she is today. With Misty’s profile now at peak heights, she has found herself in a mentor role, often asked for advice on everything from dance-specific questions to life lessons about being the “other” in certain spaces by her fans. As Misty herself has said, “I think it’s really important to have a community around you, a support system, mentors, people that are going to be there for you on those days when you just aren’t strong enough to do it yourself.” Given that philosophy, Misty is thrilled to have created this book of advice, covering everything from body confidence to balancing various commitments and how to break out of your comfort zone. Each section includes personal anecdotes from Misty about the topic that bring her perspective to life.
Theater Kid
A New Yorker, NPR, and Washington Independent Review Best Book of 2025 A coming-of-age tale from one of the most successful American producers of our time, Jeffrey Seller, who is the only producer to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize–winning musicals—Hamilton and Rent. Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. We see him find his voice through musical theater and move to New York, where he is determined to shed his past and make a name for himself on Broadway. But moving to the big city is never easy—especially not at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis—and Jeffrey learns to survive and thrive in the colorful and cutthroat world of commercial theatre. From his early days as an office assistant, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton, Jeffrey completely pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award—all the while finding himself. Told with Jeffrey’s candid and captivating voice, Theater Kid is a gripping memoir about fighting through a hardscrabble childhood to make art on one’s own terms, chasing a dream against many odds, and finding acceptance and community.
Grace and Glory - Kegyelem és dicsőség - Az Előhírnök-trilógia 3.
Veszély, árulás és csábító, tiltott szerelem…
Trinity Marrow elveszítette a csatát – és szeretett védelmezőjét is. Hiába állnak mellette a démonok és az őrzők, úgy tűnik, Trin mégsem tudja megnyerni a háborút az Előhírnök ellen.
Visszahozni Lucifert a világba, hogy szembeszálljon az Előhírnökkel, finoman szólva is rossz ötlet. Csakhogy elfogytak a lehetőségek, és a bukott angyalok ura az egyetlen lény, akinek ereje valóban képes befolyásolni a végjátékot.
Miközben Trin és Zayne között új, még szorosabb kötelék szövődik, és Lucifer a poklot szabadítja a földre, az apokalipszis karnyújtásnyira kerül, a világ pedig az örökkévalóság peremén egyensúlyoz. Mi lesz a vége: győzelem vagy vereség? Egy dolog biztos: semmi sem marad a régi.

Care and Feeding
An Instant New York Times Bestseller!A candid, funny, and occasionally devastating culinary memoir of a woman making her way through the food world, navigating addiction, a cultural reckoning, and an unexpected tragedyIn this moving, hilarious, and insightful bestselling memoir, Laurie Woolever traces her path from a small-town childhood to working within the high-stakes celebrity chef culture at revered restaurants and food publications, alternately bolstered and overshadowed by two of the most powerful men in the business. But there’s more to the story than the two bold-faced names on her resume: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain. Behind the scenes, Laurie’s life is frequently chaotic, a high-functioning addict’s often pleasurable buffet of bad decisions at which she frequently overstays her welcome. Acerbic and wryly self-deprecating, Laurie attempts to carve her own space as a woman in this world that is by turns toxic and intoxicating. Laurie seeks to try it all—from a seedy Atlantic City strip club to the Park Hyatt Tokyo, from a hippie vegetarian co-op to the legendary El Bulli—while balancing her consuming work with her sometimes ambivalent relationship to marriage and motherhood. As the food world careens toward an overdue reckoning and Laurie’s mentors face their own high-profile descents, she is confronted with the questions of where she belongs in a story of both workplace toxicity and personal recovery, and how to hold on to the parts of her life’s work that she truly values: care and feeding. This is a story of keeping it together, until several successive implosions—careers, marriages, reputations, lives—show that control is an illusion. An Unflinching Addiction Memoir: A raw and darkly funny account of binge drinking, bad decisions, and the slow journey toward sobriety in an industry that runs on excess. Women in the Culinary World: A candid exploration of what it takes to carve out a space as a woman in kitchen culture. A Cultural Reckoning: Witness the food world’s overdue reckoning from the inside, as high-profile figures face their own descents and hard questions must be answered.

In this book, he shares straightforward, concrete advice on over fifty masculine skills, including: How to win an argument fairlyHow to plan the perfect dateHow to win a fightHow to prepare a steakHow to pit a car The answer to the crisis of masculinity is not docility or weakness, but men who are both strong and honorable.

Get on the Job and Organize
The leader of the Starbucks and Tesla union movements shares stories from the front lines to help us organize our own workplaces and “better understand the aims and goals for a resurgent trade union movement and how workers all over the country can join in solidarity with it” (Senator Bernie Sanders).Get on the Job and Organize is a compelling, stirring narrative of the Starbucks and Tesla unionization efforts, telling the broader story of the new, nationwide labor movement unfolding in our era of political and social unrest. As one of the exciting new faces of the American Labor Movement, Jaz Brisack argues that while workers often organize when their place of work is toxic, it’s equally important to organize when you love your job. Here, Brisack delivers practical advice on how workers can and should stand up for their rights, especially when electoral politics seem to have failed us. With an accessible tone, a deep love of labor history, and profound empathy, Brisack puts recent efforts into the context of Americans’ long tradition of organizing. In the process, they show us that we, too, can improve our workplaces, from how to educate ourselves and our colleagues, to what backlash to expect and how to fight it, to what victory looks like even if the union doesn’t necessarily win. A “fascinating insider account” (Publishers Weekly), richly detailed, and with never-before-reported scenes, Get on the Job and Organize is a bold and galvanizing call to fight for the workplaces we deserve.

„A könyvet személyes okok miatt regény formájában írtam. Mégis, akinek füle van, hallani fogja, hogy minden szó az igazságot adja vissza.” – Elisabeth Haich
Ez a számos nyelvre lefordított és világszerte több utánnyomást megélt nagy sikerű regény kapcsolatot teremt a nemzetközileg elismert tanító, Elisabeth Haich huszadik századi európai élete és reinkarnációs emlékei között. A modern kori keretbe ágyazott ősi események azokat az élettapasztalatokat írják le, amelyek a főhőst a spirituális útra vezették.
A misztikus önéletrajzi regény keretbe foglalja az óegyiptomi nagy beavatást, és válogatást ad Ptanhotep főpap tanításaiból, amelyek az univerzum, az emberi lélek és a sors okkult törvényeibe engednek bepillantást. A történet fiatal hősnője számtalan lélegzetelállító lelki kalandon át ismeri fel belső vezetőjét, reinkarnációs élményében azonosítja őt háromezer évvel korábbi tanítójával, a tisztánlátó főpappal, akitől annak idején mint a fáraó elszánt, de éretlen lányaként megkapta a beavatást. A misztika egész területét átfogó, és a karma, valamint a reinkarnáció törvényeit érzékletesen megjelenítő gondolatok, élmények és tapasztalatok egész tárháza nyílik meg előttünk.
Eközben a huszadik századi Európában is nyomon követhetjük az eseményeket, amelyek a gyermekkortól a felnőtté válásig, a háborún és meghatározó találkozásokon keresztül megmutatják, milyen hatalmas erővel bír, ha valaki befelé fordítja tudatának keresőfényét, és minden életeseményt tudatossága növelésére használ föl.
Elisabeth Haich olyan rejtett igazságokat oszt meg olvasóival, amelyek lehetővé teszik, hogy a megértés olyan fokára jussunk el, amely a megvilágosodáshoz szükséges. A Beavatás időtlen klasszikus, amelynek modern nyelvezete spirituális keresők nemzedékeinek jelentett eddig is inspirációt világszerte. Akár úgy olvassuk, mint egy misztikus igazságokat feltáró önéletrajzi regényt, akár úgy, mint Elisabeth Haich megvilágosodáshoz vezető kivételes útjának leírását, mély hatással lesz ránk. A Beavatás olvasása egyet jelent magával a beavatással.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken
If you are in the midst of great soul-sorrow, this book is written for you by someone who has been there too. Christians are often afraid to put language to deep suffering. It doesn't seem "holy" to outwardly grieve our losses, to lament our afflictions, to put up words like modern-day dust and ashes. This book is Sydney Anne Bennett's humble effort to sit beside you in the darkness and say, "I know. I feel it too. Let's go to Jesus right now, for we have nowhere else to go."After becoming disabled just two weeks after her honeymoon, Sydney was forced to reckon with a body that changed overnight and inhabit a faith that no longer fit tidy answers. Diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)--a condition that disrupts the brain's ability to send correction signals to the body—Sydney now lives with daily seizures, mobility loss, and chronic pain. Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken is not about overcoming disability. It is about learning to live truthfully before God and others with unresolved grief, humiliating dependence, and lingering limitations. It is about recognizing that faith does not resolve all questions neatly, and that dignity, courage, and steadfastness may remain even when independence disappears. God is present in bodies that no longer work as they once did. His presence makes broken things fearful and wonderful. This book is the companion Sydney wanted to have when she first became sick. Whether you are struggling with physical pain, disability, or illness, or are working through chapters of grief of a totally different kind, the answer to pain is always the same: Jesus will redeem your brokenness. He is building something—something fearful, yes. But also something wonderful.
Heartbeats
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR FATHER'S DAYNo one had ever played tennis quite like Björn Borg. With his incredible athleticism, powerful shot-making and distinctive style, he became a sensation after he burst onto the scene aged just 15. As he ascended to the pinnacle of men's tennis, Borg experienced unprecedented stardom and success that changed the game forever. Hailed as one of the most talented players to ever step onto a tennis court, Borg collected the game's highest honours, including eleven Grand Slam titles - with five consecutive Wimbledon titles - establishing himself as one of the greatest of all time. Then he stunned the sporting world by announcing his retirement at the age of 26 and disappeared from tennis. After all these years of silence, Borg is ready to share everything. In this candid memoir, Borg takes us through all the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry with John McEnroe - considered one of the best in the sport's history - and their legendary 1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his shock retirement. Borg writes candidly about his personal life - for so long kept under wraps - including his childhood, his early stardom and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his unmatched career. For the first time, readers will get Borg's own account of his career, his choices, and the experiences that shaped him as a person, from his childhood right up to today. This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a fascinating look at the making of sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.
