Book Description
The Achiever Fever Cure is a self-help book for skeptics, written by an ambitious executive who discovered a mindfulness-based path to greater fulfillment after realizing that she'd been "striving herself crazy." A successful entrepreneur at the helm of her own market research firm, Claire Booth was a lifelong striver. Driven by ambition, competition, and an unquenchable thirst for praise, she pushed herself relentlessly to appease the voice in her head that insisted: "You are not trying hard enough." But although she excelled at capturing consumer insights for her company's Fortune 500 clients, Claire was anything but insightful about her own inner state. Tired, unhappy, and full of self-doubt, she realizes that something must change--and maybe that "something" is her. In The Achiever Fever Cure, Claire turns the lens inward, making herself the subject of a personal "me-search" project to find out why she is so stressed out and unhappy, despite her success. True to her background in market research and her type-A personality, Claire's quest for inner peace is methodical and pragmatic. The book's structure and chapter titles borrow from the style and terminology of a market research report, laying out the objectives and facts before moving into implications and a redefined concept of growth. Appended to each chapter are Claire's findings from her own self-directed survey of high-achieving North American executives, examining their attitudes and involvement with activities like meditation, mindfulness, and positive self-talk. The book follows Claire through illuminating excursions into philosophy, psychology, behavioural economics, neuroscience and mindfulness. She also candidly discusses her initial resistance to what she sees as hippie-style sentiments, and her fear that slowing down and softening up will cause her to lose her professional edge. The book's target audience of stressed-out high achievers will be surprised and encouraged to learn that not only do mindfulness and self-acceptance lead to a more joyful and purposeful life, they can also be good for business. The year in which Claire conquers her achiever fever, her company experiences record growth. Readers will discover: How healthy ambition can turn into debilitating striving How cognitive biases undermine our ability to achieve what we want most Why living in the future can rob us of our ability to enjoy the present That we can exercise our minds, just as we exercise our bodies How we can re-envision growth to make it work for us With self-discipline, discernment, and infectious self-deprecating wit, Claire Booth inspires us with the discovery that it is possible to undergo profound growth and personal transformation while still staying true to oneself--even if you're a natural skeptic. In a world obsessed with hyper-productivity, The Achiever Fever Cure makes a powerful case that letting go of striving is the key to reaping life's most enduring rewards.

Book Description
Pharmacological knowledge among medical students can have a very short 'half life': students often fail not because they have failed to study, but because they have been unable to retain key knowledge and reproduce it in an exam setting. This book takes an alternative route to the conventional approach of comprehensively exploring each individual drug and its features: not only can such an approach overwhelm and make knowledge retention difficult, but the current exam format makes questions structured in this way unlikely anyway. Instead of aiming to be completely comprehensive, it examines drugs systematically by classifications, mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses and side effects, enabling students to gain the distilled, functional grasp of pharmacology that their exams actually demand quickly and clearly.

Book Description
René Girard shows that all desires are contagious—and the desire to be thin is no exception. In this compelling new book, Girard ties the anorexia epidemic to what he calls mimetic desire: a desire imitated from a model. Girard has long argued that, far from being spontaneous, our most intimate desires are copied from what we see around us. In a culture obsessed with thinness, the rise of eating disorders should be no surprise. When everyone is trying to slim down, Girard asks, how can we convince anorexic patients to have a healthy outlook on eating? Mixing theoretical sophistication with irreverent common sense, Girard denounces a “culture of anorexia” and takes apart the competitive impulse that fuels the game of conspicuous non-consumption. He shows that showing off a slim physique is not enough—the real aim is to be skinnier than one’s rivals. In the race to lose the most weight, the winners are bound to be thinner and thinner. Taken to extremes, this tendency to escalation can only lead to tragic results. Featuring a foreword by neuropsychiatrist Jean-Michel Oughourlian and an introductory essay by anthropologist Mark R. Anspach, the volume concludes with an illuminating conversation between René Girard, Mark R. Anspach, and Laurence Tacou.

Book Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives—a “compulsively readable parable for the 21st century” (Vanity Fair). When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

Book Description
Brain on Fire meets High Achiever in this “page-turner memoir chronicling a woman’s accidental descent into prescription benzodiazepine dependence—and the life-threatening impacts of long-term use—that chills to the bone” (Nylon). As Melissa Bond raises her infant daughter and a special-needs one-year-old son, she suffers from unbearable insomnia, sleeping an hour or less each night. She loses her job as a journalist (a casualty of the 2008 recession), and her relationship with her husband grows distant. Her doctor casually prescribes benzodiazepines—a family of drugs that includes Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan—and increases her dosage regularly. Following her doctor’s orders, Melissa takes the pills night after night until her body begins to shut down. Only when she collapses while holding her daughter does Melissa learn that her doctor—like so many others—has over-prescribed the medication and quitting cold turkey could lead to psychosis or fatal seizures. Benzodiazepine addiction is not well studied, and few experts know how to help Melissa as she begins the months-long process of tapering off the pills without suffering debilitating, potentially deadly consequences. Each page thrums with the heartbeat of Melissa’s struggle—how many hours has she slept? How many weeks old are her babies? How many milligrams has she taken? Her propulsive writing crescendos to a fever pitch as she fights for her health and her ability to care for her children. “Propulsive, poetic” (Shelf Awareness), and immersive, this “vivid chronicle of suffering” (Kirkus Reviews) and redemption shines a light on the prescription benzodiazepine epidemic as it reaches a crisis point in this country.
