Smoking: The Artificial Passion
by David KroghSmoking is full of intriguing paradoxes. How can the same cigarette be relaxing now and a quick pick-me-up later? Why do smokers call on the same substance to help them concentrate one moment and tune out the next? And, the most sobering paradox of all: in the face of overwhelming medical evidence, what compels millions of people (including one out of every four Americans) to ignore the harmful consequences and continue smoking? Author David Krogh provides some fascinating and surprising answers in this unusual probe of the deep roots of smoking. As Krogh demonstrates, smoking is a complex, subtle, multifaceted habit. Drawing on the vast body of literature on the subject, he offers a lively and informative explanation of what scientists and doctors know- about the passion for tobacco--how it affects the body, how it is influenced by genetics, personality, and societal forces, and what it can tell us about other, more notorious forms of addiction. Neither a gloomy medical lecture nor another trendy how-to-quit guide (although some tips can be found in the appendix), SMOKING: The Artificial Passion is witty, feisty, and provocative. For smokers, ex- smokers, smokers trying to quit, nonsmokers, or anyone captivated by the quirkiness of human behavior, it offers a better understanding of the motivations behind smoking and, in a broader context, drug use of any kind. The artificial passion--this metaphor for smoking and other forms of tobacco addiction comes from John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States. While a young man, Adams successfully freed himself from the habits of smoking and chewing tobacco. Referring to that effort, he once wrote, "I have often wished that every individual. . . afflicted with this artificial passion could force it upon himself to try but for three months the experiment which I made, sure that it would turn every acre of tobacco land into a wheat field, and add five years to the average of human life."

So Far from Home: Lost and Found in Our Brave New World
by Margaret J. WheatleyAN INVITATION TO WARRIORSHIP I wrote this book for you if you offer your work as a contribution to others, whatever your work might be, and if now you find yourself feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and sometimes despairing even as you paradoxically experience moments of joy, belonging, and greater resolve to do your work. This book describes how we can do our good work with dedication, energy, discipline, and joy by consciously choosing a new role for ourselves, that of warriors for the human spirit. This book contains maps of how we ended up in a world nobody wants—overtaken by greed, self-interest, and oppressive power—the very opposite of what we worked so hard to create. These maps look deeply into the darkness of this time so that we can develop the insight we need to contribute in meaningful ways. This book provides maps for the future, how we can transform our grief, outrage, and frustration into the skills of insight and compassion to serve this dark time with bravery, decency, and gentleness. As warriors for the human spirit, we discover our right work, work that we know is ours to do no matter what. We engage wholeheartedly, embody values we cherish, let go of outcomes, and carefully attend to relationships. We serve those issues and people we care about, focused not so much on making a difference as on being a difference.

by Lee D. GoldsteinThe candid and inspiring memoir of one man&’s rewarding life spent in a chair—a story of family, spinal injury, and choosing happiness. Lee Goldstein was fourteen years old when an innocent day at the beach ended in a life-altering accident. Yet even in the midst of that fateful tragedy, Lee finds reasons to be grateful—after all, he was rescued from drowning by a famous singer and hobnobbed with celebrities in the hospital. Lee would spend the rest of his life as a quadriplegic, but thanks to the support of his loving family and his own unflagging determination, he lives a long and beautiful life. Lee and his wife Marilyn raise five adopted children, including Tim, who faces his own challenges when he is diagnosed with autism. Though he later loses Marilyn, Lee goes on to fall in love with and marry Ellen, who makes his later years close to divine. Lee always focuses on the positive, but he pulls no punches in his frank and honest account of what quadriplegics and their caretakers deal with every day, from the use of wheelchairs, to bathroom needs, to the sometimes life-threatening, embarrassing, or hilarious moments of life.
So Good They Can't Ignore You
by Cal NewportCal Newport's clearly-written manifesto flies in the face of conventional wisdom by suggesting that it should be a person's talent and skill - and not necessarily their passion - that determines their career path. Newport, who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) and earned a PhD. from MIT, contends that trying to find what drives us, instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel, is ultimately harmful and frustrating to job seekers.The title is a direct quote from comedian Steve Martin who, when once asked why he was successful in his career, immediately replied: "Be so good they can't ignore you" and that's the main basis for Newport's book. Skill and ability trump passion. Inspired by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs' famous Stanford University commencement speech in which Jobs urges idealistic grads to chase their dreams, Newport takes issue with that advice, claiming that not only is thsi advice Pollyannish, but that Jobs himself never followed his own advice.From there, Newport presents compelling scientific and contemporary case study evidence that the key to one's career success is to find out what you do well, where you have built up your 'career capital,' and then to put all of your efforts into that direction.

So Help Me Golf: Why We Love the Game
by Rick ReillyThis is the book Rick Reilly has been writing in the back of his head since he fell in love with the game of golf at eleven years old. He unpacks and explores all of the wonderful, maddening, heart-melting, heart-breaking, cool, and captivating things about golf that make the game so utterly addictive. We meet the PGA Tour player who robbed banks by night to pay his motel bills, the golf club maker who takes weekly psychedelic trips, and the caddy who kept his loop even after an 11-year prison stint. We learn how a man on his third heart nearly won the U.S. Open, how a Vietnam POW saved his life playing 18 holes a day in his tiny cell, and about the course that's absolutely free.We'll visit the eighteen most unforgettable holes around the world (Reilly has played them all), including the hole in Indonesia where the biggest hazard is monkeys, the one in the Caribbean that's underwater, and the one in South Africa that requires a shot over a pit of alligators; not to mention Reilly's attempt to play the most mini-golf holes in one day. Reilly will admire and unload on all the great figures in the game, from Phil Mickelson to Bobby Jones to the simple reason Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods. Reilly will explain why we should stop hating Bryson DeChambeau unless we hate genius, the greatest upset in women's golf history, and why Ernie Els throws away every ball that makes a birdie. Plus all the Greg Norman stories Reilly has never been able to tell before. Connecting it all will be the story of Reilly's own personal journey through the game, especially as it connects to his tumultuous relationship with his alcoholic father, and how the two eventually reconciled through golf. This is Reilly's valentine to golf, a cornucopia of stories that no golfer will want to be without.
