#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021 The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper - soon to be a major Netflix series. It was all sinking in. I'd never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean? Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush - but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she's sure she'll find her person one day. As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia's ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her 'teenage dream' is in sight. But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her - asexual, aromantic - Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever. Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along? This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn't limited to romance.

Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth. This became all too apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world's best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth.Of course there were things Bryson missed about Blighty but any sense of loss was countered by the joy of rediscovering some of the forgotten treasures of his childhood: the glories of a New England autumn, the pleasingly comical sight of oneself in shorts, and motel rooms where you can generally count on being awakened in the night by a piercing shriek and the sound of a female voice pleading, 'Put the gun down, Vinnie, I'll do anything you say.'Whether discussing the strange appeal of breakfast pizza or the jaw-slackening direness of American TV, Bill Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on that strangest of phenomena - the American way of life...

The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, the bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer, and What If? 2, coming September 13, 2022.For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and fun illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

Nella quiete sorniona di un sabato mattina in ufficio, mentre Matera si prepara al rituale dello struscio pomeridiano, una telefonata raggiunge il Sostituto Procuratore Imma Tataranni. 'Pensò immediatamente a Valentina, che doveva essere appena uscita da scuola e in quei giorni stava piantando una grana. Invece le dissero che avevano ucciso un ragazzo, a Nova Siri'. Imma per mestiere ha a che fare abitualmente coi morti ammazzati, ma se a morire è un coetaneo di sua figlia, a poco a poco la madre e il procuratore si scopriranno facce della stessa medaglia che finiranno per confondersi e alimentarsi l'un l'altra. L'indagine del procuratore - con le sue tecniche, le sue dinamiche, le rivalità antiche e nuove - pagina dopo pagina assume infatti i contorni del viaggio di una madre alla scoperta di un mistero più importante e profondo: chi sono i nostri figli, che cosa vogliono, che possibilità hanno di questi tempi? In una comunità chiusa del Mezzogiorno italiano, fra dicerie superficiali e misfatti sepolti dalla terra arsa dal sole, Imma scruta, interroga, immagazzina dati: qualche volta inciampa, come sugli irrinunciabili tacchi alti, qualche volta, proprio come con quelli, riesce a ergere lo sguardo oltre l'apparenza dei fatti.

Venezia, fine del Cinquecento: una città tentacolare e spietata in cui anche i muri hanno gli occhi, il doge usa il pugno di ferro e il Sant'Uffizio sospetta di tutti e non ci pensa due volte a mandare a chiamare un poveraccio e a dargli due tratti di corda. La Serenissima osserva, ascolta e condanna. Anche ingiustamente. Ed è proprio per sfuggire a un'accusa infondata che Michele, giovane muratore, è costretto a imbarcarsi su una galera lasciando tutto e senza nemmeno il tempo per salutare la sua bella moglie Bianca, appena diciassettenne. Bandito da Venezia, rematore su una nave che vaga per il Mediterraneo carica di zecchini e di spezie e senza speranza di ritornare a breve, Michele vivrà straordinarie avventure tra le onde, sulle isole e nei porti del mare nostrum, fino ad approdare nelle terre del Sultano. Per sopravvivere, con il pensiero sempre rivolto a Bianca, da ragazzo ignaro e inesperto dovrà farsi uomo astuto, coraggioso e forte. Nel frattempo, Bianca rimane completamente sola in città, tra i palazzi dei signori e il ghetto. Il suo temperamento tenace e orgoglioso dovrà scontrarsi con prove se possibile più dure di quelle toccate a Michele, e incontri non meno terribili e importanti l'attendono nel dedalo di vicoli e calli, tra i profumi intensi delle botteghe di speziali, quello del pane cotto nel forno di quartiere, il torso dell'acqua gelida in cui lavare i panni e i pagliericci pidocchiosi che sono il solo giaciglio per la povera gente.
