Book Description
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: You're studying WRONGIn my years as a college instructor, there was one common theme in all of my classes: students didn't know how to study! Most people were just winging it. It wasn't because they weren't smart, talented people. They were. The problem was that in all of their years of school, no one had taken the time to teach them how to learn things efficiently. I want to change that. Because here's a secret... If you study correctly, not only is it MUCH less work, but you'll also get WAY better grades (and perhaps even have a bit of fun). Take it from me...I have two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree. While I was getting my master's degree, I had three jobs. And let me tell you something: if you have three jobs while you're getting a master's degree, you are virtually forced to come up with some study hacks or you'll go insane! I was also a college instructor for many years, and during that time, I was working as a professional tutor. All told, I've coached hundreds and hundreds of students into better grades. Now I want to teach you. What will you learn? Discover how to cut study time in HALF.Who really likes to study? Not me! Luckily, you probably don't have to be studying nearly as much as you probably are right now. Because here's a secret: the top students don't study as much. They just study more effectively. Understand the MINDSET of an ultra-successful student.There are tons of different study strategies out there. However... Most of those strategies can't be applied to everyone. Want to know why? Because studying isn't about flash cards or formulas or any other "tip". Studying the right way is a whole different type of approach. It's a WAY of learning, remembering, and interacting. Even more than that, studying the right way includes a lot more than just preparing for tests. There are social, biological and psychological elements to it. To really study like an A+ student, you have to change the way you THINK about school. Learn 19 study habits that will totally reshape how you think about school.Here are just a few of the things you'll learn. * How to write papers in half the time* Why you shouldn't take notes in class* The best way to talk to your professors* What you should eat before a test* How thinking dirty thoughts can help you learn* Why everything you've been told about Wikipedia is wrong* When you should be reading (hint: it's not after class)* How professors grade you* Why your body loves to learn when it's tired* Exactly how many sources it takes to write a killer paperAnd much, much more!And guys... these only take FIVE minutes.

Book Description
In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The story of modern medicine and bioethics—and, indeed, race relations—is refracted beautifully, and movingly.”—Entertainment Weekly NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM HBO® STARRING OPRAH WINFREY AND ROSE BYRNE • ONE OF THE “MOST INFLUENTIAL” (CNN), “DEFINING” (LITHUB), AND “BEST” (THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER) BOOKS OF THE DECADE • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS • WINNER OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE HEARTLAND PRIZE FOR NONFICTION NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Entertainment Weekly • O: The Oprah Magazine • NPR • Financial Times • New York • Independent (U.K.) • Times (U.K.) • Publishers Weekly • Library Journal • Kirkus Reviews • Booklist • Globe and Mail Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave. Henrietta’s family did not learn of her “immortality” until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family—past and present—is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of. Over the decade it took to uncover this story, Rebecca became enmeshed in the lives of the Lacks family—especially Henrietta’s daughter Deborah. Deborah was consumed with questions: Had scientists cloned her mother? Had they killed her to harvest her cells? And if her mother was so important to medicine, why couldn’t her children afford health insurance? Intimate in feeling, astonishing in scope, and impossible to put down, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks captures the beauty and drama of scientific discovery, as well as its human consequences.
