Book Description
“A lively and inspiring guidebook for anyone who wants to make the jump from normal to extraordinary.” —Tony Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unshakeable and MONEY: Master the Game An inspirational book that lays out the “Jump Curve”—four steps to wholeheartedly pursuing the career of your dreams—through experiences from a variety of people who have jumped and never looked back When Mike Lewis was twenty-four and working in a prestigious corporate job, he eagerly wanted to leave and pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. But he had questions: When is the right time to move from work that is comfortable to a career you have only dared to dream of? How have other people made such a jump? What did they feel when making that jump—and afterward? Mike sought guidance from others who had “jumped,” and the responses he got—from a banker who started a brewery, a publicist who became a Bishop, a garbage collector who became a furniture designer, and on and on—were so clear-eyed and inspiring that Mike wanted to share what he had learned with others who might be helped by those stories. First, though, he started playing squash professionally. The right book at the right time, When to Jump offers more than forty heartening stories (from the founder of Bonobos, the author of The Big Short, the designer of the Lyft logo, the Humans of New York creator, and many more) and takeaways that will inspire, instruct, and reassure, including the ingenious four-phase Jump Curve.

Who’s going to take care of them while Death’s sipping on sangria?

While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death’s lap. If they shove him back into his body, he’ll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death’s right-hand.

Book Description
Dead End in Norvelt is the winner of the 2012 Newbery Medal for the year's best contribution to children's literature and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction! Melding the entirely true and the wildly fictional, Dead End in Norvelt is a novel about an incredible two months for a kid named Jack Gantos, whose plans for vacation excitement are shot down when he is "grounded for life" by his feuding parents, and whose nose spews bad blood at every little shock he gets. But plenty of excitement (and shocks) are coming Jack's way once his mom loans him out to help a fiesty old neighbor with a most unusual chore—typewriting obituaries filled with stories about the people who founded his utopian town. As one obituary leads to another, Jack is launced on a strange adventure involving molten wax, Eleanor Roosevelt, twisted promises, a homemade airplane, Girl Scout cookies, a man on a trike, a dancing plague, voices from the past, Hells Angels . . . and possibly murder. Endlessly surprising, this sly, sharp-edged narrative is the author at his very best, making readers laugh out loud at the most unexpected things in a dead-funny depiction of growing up in a slightly off-kilter place where the past is present, the present is confusing, and the future is completely up in the air.

Book Description
Brock Morrison works a DEAD END JOB from Hell: He could have just gotten a job at Kroger's Starbucks kiosk a-crossed the street, but Brock Morrison is too vain (everyone knows that Starbucks is Fine-Arts-Graduate purgatory), so he takes a job with "The Father" as a maintenance man at The City Village (a low rent apartment complex in the city). It's a temporary work situation, Brock assures us, while he makes enough money to pay off his fiancé's engagement ring and networks in the city to become recognized for his clear artistic genius.Little does Brock know, The City Village is under the influence, if you will, of an ancient and evil order, and Brock isn't leaving anytime soon, if ever. ALSO: Don't go into Apartment Building 666, as if you needed to be told that. The Father would just like to remind him that, quote, "Books are great, but The Beating is coming Son and it's going to be a bloodbath."Speak in hushed tones; The Rats hear everything you're saying. Jose the Central-American dry-waller is trying to warn you that Jerry has enough weapons to take down the whole property, as in: kill everyone. Iced coffee makes the world go round. There is a Duchampian-esc contemporary art display at an undisclosed location on the property.The City Village has a strict No Drinking & Drugs policy during the day. This is a well known fact.

Chrissy is found dead in Snapdragon's dressing room, with the hand-painted scarf Helen was just holding tied around her neck. And Helen goes from being low on society's totem pole to high on the police's suspect list.
