You're Not That Great
A hilarious, scathing send up of the self-help genre in the bestselling tradition of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck from social media mogul and The Bachelor producer Elan Gale. I am addicted to positivity. I am addicted to positivity. I am addicted to positivity. I care more about feeling great than being great. I am NOT THAT GREAT. The self-help industry tells you that if you're positive, if you put your best foot forward and if you just believe in yourself that you will find happiness. Let's be real, you can read all the inspirational quotes you want. You can spend your days giving yourself affirmations in your heart-shaped mirror and trying to learn to love yourself. You can say your mantra over and over again while sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat in a Whole Foods parking lot. But the truth is, you're not a badass and you still don't have the life you want. That's where You're Not That Great (but neither is anyone else) comes in. This book teaches you how to harness all the negativity in the world and use it to improve your life, taking everyday feelings like self-loathing, regret and shame and making them work for you. Positive thinking is for assholes. Negative thinking is for winners.
The Science of Being Great: Personal Self-Help Book of Wallace D. Wattles (Unabridged)
In "The Science of Being Great," Wallace D. Wattles presents a seminal work that merges the principles of personal development with philosophical inquiry. Written in a clear, didactic style, Wattles draws upon the emerging self-help movement of the early 20th century while incorporating ideas from transcendentalism and positive thinking. The text is structured around the notion that greatness is an inherent potential within every individual, and through the application of specific mental and spiritual practices, one can realize their fullest potential. By marrying practical exercises with metaphysical reflections, Wattles offers a compelling roadmap for personal transformation and excellence. Wallace D. Wattles was a pioneer in the realm of personal success literature, influenced by the teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and the New Thought movement. Driven by his own struggles with poverty and a desire for a more fulfilling existence, Wattles dedicated his life to exploring the interplay between thought and reality. His background in philosophy and experience as a struggling author inform the assertive yet accessible language found in this work, which serves as both a manifesto for individual empowerment and a guide to cultivating a mindset conducive to greatness. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to unlock their potential and achieve personal greatness. Wattles'Äô insights are as applicable today as they were over a century ago, providing a timeless framework for those who wish to transform their lives. Whether you are a seasoned reader of self-help literature or new to the genre, "The Science of Being Great" will inspire and challenge you to strive for excellence in all aspects of life.
We Are Not Good People
Learn the Words. Get the blood. Rule the world. The Ustari Cycle starts here. From the "exhilarating, powerful, and entertaining" (Guardian) storyteller of the Avery Cates series comes a gritty supernatural thriller featuring a pair of unlikely heroes caught up in the underground world of blood magic. Magicians: they are not good people. The ethics in a world of blood are gray—and an underground strata of blood magicians has been engineering disasters for centuries in order to acquire enough fuel for their spells. Although in the modern world these mages stay in the shadows, their exploits have become no less bloody. Still, some practitioners use the Words and a swipe of the blade to cast simpler spells, such as Charms and Cantrips to gas up $1 bills so they appear to be $20s. Lem Vonnegan and his sidekick Mags fall into this level of mage, hustlers and con men all. Lem tries to be ethical by using only his own blood, by not using Bleeders or "volunteers." But it makes life hard. Soon they might have to get honest work. When the pair encounter a girl who's been kidnapped and marked up with magic runes for a ritual spell, it's clear they're in over their heads. Turning to Lem's estranged Master for help, they are told that not only is the girl's life all but forfeit, but that the world's preeminent mage, Mika Renar, has earth-shattering plans for her—and Lem just got in the way. With the fate of the world on the line, and Lem both spooked and intrigued by the mysterious girl, the other nominate him to become the huckleberry who'll take down Renar. But even if he, Mags, and the simpletons who follow him prevail, they're dealing with the kind of power that doesn't understand defeat, or mercy. (The first portion of We Are Not Good People was originally published in an altered form as Trickster by Pocket Books).
