What I Couldn’t Tell My Therapist
What I Couldn’t Tell My Therapist follows three patients through intensive therapy, weaving psychotherapist Michelle M. May’s own story—a people-pleasing perfectionist tethered to opioids by mysterious chronic pain—together with two others to show that healing is a shared, “we” experience. Grounded in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, the book argues that confronting the truths we hide, even from our therapists, is what opens the way to deep transformation.
Dopamine Nation
Dopamine Nation argues that constant, easy access to pleasure has tipped our brains toward compulsive overconsumption, and that embracing discomfort is the way back to balance.
The Dream Hotel
The Dream Hotel is Laila Lalami's dystopian take on predictive policing, surveillance capitalism, and the erosion of privacy and freedom.
Happier Hour
Happier Hour argues that how you spend your time matters more than how much of it you have, and offers research-backed strategies for designing your hours to maximize happiness.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a universally resonant tale of Eddie, a maintenance worker whose afterlife journey through five revealing encounters proves that every life, regardless of how ordinary it seems, is profoundly connected to others and filled with hidden purpose.
