Man Made
Seeking to learn that masculinity is not defined by the size of his muscles but by the size of his heart, Stein confronts his effete nature by doing a 24-hour shift with LA firefighters, going hunting, rebuilding a house, enduring three days of basic training with the Marine Corps, and going into the ring with UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture.
In Defense of Elitism
"I like you, reader. You are wandering in a store [or library], judging books by their covers. You're the type of easily influenced person that I want to convince to help save society. To find out how the New Dark Ages started and usher in the Intellectual Restoration, I visited the country with the highest percentage of Trump voters. I went to the home of Trump-loving Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, talked to Tucker Carlson, got lessons in obfuscation from a fake news king-pin, and reproduced the experience of being an inexperienced government official by acting as mayor of Los Angeles for a day. All while wearing a cravat. And after the pandemic struck, I felt obliged to write three new chapters about recent developments: I talked to America's frontline doctors after they backed an FDA-banned medication, dove into the QAnon conspiracy theory, and investigated how my term 'the boat elite' had come to life and taken to the seas. What I learned will change the way you think, vote, sleep, eat, and pronounce certain words that you read in these pages and then look up online. Best of all, it will infuriate your relatives when they see it on your coffee table." -- Back cover.

Life After Stroke
In this compassionate guide, three expert physicians who treat people with stroke describe how to navigate the path to recovery. Their practical advice on treatment, rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes is also designed to help prevent another stroke. Drs. Stein, Silver, and Frates begin by explaining how stroke occurs and what happens when different parts of the brain are injured. They describe diagnostic tools such as CT scans and MRIs as well as medications used to prevent and treat stroke, and they explain in detail how stroke survivors can heal optimally. They also set out plans to help survivors reduce the risk of another stroke, including the Stroke Savvy Exercise Plan and Stroke Savvy Diet Plan. Relating patients' experiences and bringing readers up to date on promising new treatments, Life After Stroke offers hope to stroke survivors and their families.
Bring Your Whole Self To Work
In today’s work environment, the lines between our professional and personal lives are blurred more than ever before. Whatever is happening to us outside of our workplace—whether stressful, painful, or joyful—follows us into work as well. We may think we have to keep these realities under wraps and act as if we “have it all together.” But as Mike Robbins explains, we can work better, lead better, and be more engaged and fulfilled if—instead of trying to hide who we are—we show up fully and authentically. Mike, a sought-after motivational speaker and business consultant, has spent more than 15 years researching, writing, and speaking about essential human experiences and high pe...
Man Made
The smudge looked suspiciously penis- like. The doctor confirmed: "That's the baby's penis!" which caused not celebration, but panic. Joel pictured having to go camping and fix a car and use a hammer and throw a football and watch professionals throw footballs and figure out whether to be sad or happy about the results of said football throwing. So begins his quest to confront his effete nature whether he likes it or not (he doesn't), by doing a twenty-four-hour shift with L.A. firefighters, going hunting, rebuilding a house, driving a Lamborghini, enduring three days of boot camp with the U.S. Army, day-trading with $100,000, and going into the ring with UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture. Seeking help from a panel of experts, including his manly father-in-law, Boy Scouts, former NFL star Warren Sapp, former MLB All-Star Shawn Green, Adam Carolla, and a pit bull named Hercules, he expects to learn that masculinity is defined not by the size of his muscles, but by the size of his heart (also, technically, a muscle). This is not at all what he learns.
