Founders, Keepers: Why Founders Are Built to Fail, and What it Takes to Succeed
by Tien Tzuo Richard Hagberg PhDBased on decades of empirical research and data, Founders, Keepers gives founders a practical roadmap for navigating the inevitable challenges that come with startup growth.It&’s a brutal paradox—the same founder attributes required to put a startup in motion will invariably blow it up.

From Self-Care to We-Care: The New Science of Mindful Boundaries and Caring from an Undivided Heart
by Jordan QuagliaLearn to harmonize self-care with caring for others through we-care, a science-based approach designed to enhance personal and social well-being, promote healthy boundaries, and offer a path of healing and transformation.Too many of us are familiar with the burnout that can come from overextending ourselves for others. Self-care is often promoted as the solution to this imbalance, but there are growing concerns that an overemphasis on self-care is exacerbating interpersonal challenges, fraying the fabric of our communities, and diminishing our responsiveness to broader social issues. In a world where time can feel increasingly scarce, we find ourselves in a dilemma: should we prioritize ourselves or others? Yet as psychologist and compassion scientist Jordan Quaglia demonstrates, this choice is based on a false dichotomy. The emerging science and practice of we-care reframes the very concept of care as a social force that includes both self and other. Through personal stories, guided inquiries, practical social exercises, and insights from cutting-edge neuroscience, Quaglia offers a framework and toolset designed to help you find a more balanced way to express your innate sense of compassion. This holistic approach sparks transformative changes across your health, relationships, and work—uplifting yourself and others while supporting a stronger, more connected society for us all.

by Carol OdellFans of Lori Gottlieb&’s, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and horse lovers alike will appreciate this therapist&’s intimate journey in &“the other chair&” as she strives to untangle the trauma from her equestrian childhood that now threatens her marriage.Raw and riveting, Girl, Groomed is seasoned psychotherapist Carol Odell&’s evolving story of coming to terms with the impacts of her own history of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of a predatory horse trainer who, for far too much of her young life, held all the reins. Set in the equestrian world of Virginia, this candid memoir details how, starting at ten years old, Carol falls under the spell of Clarentine, the charismatic—and explosively violent—owner of the stables just down the hill from her house.

Chapters toggle back and forth between scenes of her childhood growing up jumping horses on the show circuit and the therapy sessions she later undergoes as an adult. Using her own journey as an example, Carol demonstrates in this insightful memoir how unintegrated trauma limits us and our connection with others—and how the work of uncovering and reintegrating &“what we do with what happens to us&” can become the very source of our liberation.
