Overview

The Sharaf family is the picture of success. Prosperous, rich, happy. They came to this country as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now, after years of hard work, they live in the most exclusive neighborhood, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah, the eldest daughter, is the apple of her father’s eye. When an unthinkable tragedy strikes, everyone is left reeling and the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that behind closed doors the Sharafs’ happy household was anything but. Did the Sharaf family achieve the American dream? Or was the image of the model immigrant family just a façade?

Make Room for Danny

 Overview

The son of poor Lebanese immigrants, the entertainer was born in 1914 on a horse farm in Michigan and grew up among Jewish, Irish, Italian and other new Americans, an ethnic mix that provides the material for the comic's storytelling routines. After breaking into radio in his youth, Thomas rose to fame in films and TV, remained married to his wife of 54 years, Rose Marie. He attributes his successful life to a kept promise to St. Jude to found and support a children's hospital in his name, an institution for which Thomas was awarded the Congressional Medal. The hospital, according to the star, is his greatest reward, outweighing his professional achievements, even his record-setting TV show, an 11-year prime-time favorite, Make Room for Daddy. Father to Tony, a noted TV producer, and actress-producer Marlo, Thomas also reports proudly on their careers. Among other attractions in the book are tender and funny tales of cherished friends Milton Berle, Lucille Ball, Sinatra, Sammy Davis and others. Credit: Publisher's Weekly.

Overview

Actor-producer Christina Applegate has been onscreen since she was 1 year old (in Days of Our Lives, of course). The Emmy winner’s most recent role as co-star in the exceptional tragicomedy Dead to Me showed her astonishing range, but by the series finale, Applegate had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Applegate has always kept it real, and her memoir will “dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success.” Credit: You with the Sad Eyes; BookPage.

Humor Me By Chris Duffy

A sense of humor is often the missing piece in what we struggle with these days (personally, professionally, politically, even globally). In HUMOR ME, Chris Duffy sets out to investigate how to make things fun and funny again. He interviewed psychologists, neuroscientists, a Navy SEAL, a Parisian-trained clown, a woman who runs a nursing home in Hong Kong, famous comedians, extremely not famous comedians, a 10-year-old food critic, and a 104-year-old world champion swimmer.

The result is HUMOR ME—a book about how to laugh more every day and how a sense of humor can help you make friends, be healthier physically and mentally, be more creative, and get through hard times. Credit: Chris Duffy Comedy.

The Octopus Organization

Overview

Large-scale organizational transformations usually don’t work. What originally starts as a way of improving an organization becomes an all-consuming distraction, a value-destroying set of activities that, even as it becomes clear they will fail, must be completed at any cost. But there is a better way: becoming an Octopus Organization.

The octopus is everything you need your organization to be in these turbulent times: extremely smart, endlessly adaptable, and highly resilient. Its eight arms work beautifully in concert, but crucially, each arm can think for itself if it needs to work independently. Your organization can work as intelligently and as beautifully as these amazing creatures, if you change your operating model. Credit: The Octopus Organization.

In your mind lives a narrator that's constantly creating stories to help you understand your experiences. But what if those stories aren't true? What if the tales we tell ourselves keep us from enjoying the level of success we know is possible? Mind Your Mindset contains the instruction manual to challenge your narrator, rewrite your stories, and succeed beyond what you thought possible. Credit: Full Focus Store; Michael Hyatt.
