If this book doesn’t make you laugh, it means you can’t read. In which case, disregard.” —Jimmy Kimmel  “A book for everyone wrestling with what it means to show up for ourselves and the world today.

Topics range from dissecting social expectations to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between. She even dares to ask herself the all-important question that every woman is forced to consider at some point: Am I actually an annoying person? Shlesinger also shares intimate moments, including a devastating miscarriage, which she manages to navigate not only with grace but somehow with side-splitting humor.  All Things Aside offers unexpected insights, much-needed truths, and tons and tons of laughs.

The complete uncensored history of the award-winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, as told by its correspondents, writers, and host.For almost 17 years, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brilliantly redefined the borders between television comedy, political satire, and opinionated news coverage. It launched the careers of some of today's most significant comedians, highlighted the hypocrisies of the powerful, and garnered 23 Emmys.

Amanda Litman busts some major myths about how to succeed at the helm. Get ready to rethink some of your basic assumptions about authenticity, productivity, and professionalism.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re:ThinkingMost leadership books treat millennials and Gen Z like nuisances to manage around, focusing on how leaders from older generations can fit young people into their existing corporate cultures.Not this one.

'I love this book' Fern Britton'Laugh out loud funny' Kate BottleyAn explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards.Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law, male drivers and middle-class men of a certain age? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the twenty-four-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control.Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.'Funny and insightful, but also fiercely radical' Victoria Smith'Takes on patriarchy with wit, verve and a mighty dose of good old British sarcasm' Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room'We need to hide copies in every locker room, Wetherspoons and B&Q' Eleanor Morton, comedian and actor'Man Who Has It All does a remarkable job of channelling anger into humour . . . a galvanising read' Rachel Hewitt, author of In Her Nature Read more

Most of us have heard at least one old adage about personal finance or psychology at some point in our lives. "A penny saved is a penny earned”, "money can't buy happiness", “diversify”, or “no sunk costs.” But how many of us stop to ask ourselves whether these pieces of advice are really true?Think of the countless popular books that claim to offer sage financial or psychological advice distilled in a simple easy-to-remember catchphrase or a colorful anecdote.The author of this book, however, argues that much of this advice is little more than "fancy bullshit." The book goes through these popular books one by one, examining their claims and the resources that back them up. Ultimately, the author argues that much of this so-called wisdom should be abandoned in favor of humility and common sense.The End of Wisdom exposes the many ways in which people are misled by faulty financial advice, psychological theories, and simplistic career or life advice. It offers a much-needed dose of epistemological humility, helping readers to understand the limits of what we can know. Read more

This is not a self-help book...

Here, you will not find any quick tips and tricks on how to live a fabulous life free of suffering or fear or confusion.

The approach I outline here goes against most of the popular ways to tackle depression, anxiety or general malaise. But it is an approach that allowed me to dig deep into my own authenticity, be honest with myself and start to make real, lasting changes in my life.

I was petrified to really put myself out there, to look at myself as I was, without any bullshit. But then I realized that the pain of living inauthentically was greater than the pain of taking a risk and being myself.

This book is about one thing: authenticity.

When two people encounter each other and interact through their masks, they never really get the opportunity to connect with authenticity. Only the masks engage, while the real people underneath might as well have never met.

The one thing that could have been a genuine relief and source of joy for them – human connection – is forfeited so they can both play-act at being what they’re not.

So, they get the illusion of happiness and fulfillment instead of real happiness and fulfillment. They both go home, take their masks off and think, “why am I so alone? Why is it so hard to really connect with people? Why doesn’t anyone understand the real me, the person I am deep inside?”

When we lie to others and tell them we’re OK when we’re not, we’re killing the possibility for genuine interaction. We rob one another of authentic response to another authentic human. We forgo real conversations and honest exchange of information for role-play.

If you’re in the same boat as I was, I can’t tell you what your changes are meant to be. I can’t say what goals you should make for yourself, or what you should value, or what you should do. But I can tell you that you will never truly understand those things for yourself unless you’re courageous enough to sit comfortably with your own negativity. And nobody can do that but you.

This is the height of self-love: to look at yourself, all of yourself, and accept it.

Your life right now, not the life that you are told you have or should have, or the life you paint on social media or tell people you have, but your real life, well, that necessarily entails some negativity. But this negativity isn’t a mistake, it isn’t a sign that you’re doing things wrong and it isn’t something that needs fixing.

Rather, pain, fear, anger and loneliness are all valuable parts of the human experience. These emotions don’t limit or stop your happiness – they actively help you shape it, if you are brave enough to engage with them. Read more

"For those looking for a smart, no-bullshit, effective guide to finding love, look no further."—Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity"While I’m not sure what Carrie Bradshaw would have made of today’s new world of dating, I do know this: armed with Love Rules, she would have figured it all out in one season."—Sarah Jessica ParkerSheryl Sandberg empowered women to lean in. Arianna Huffington Encouraged them to thrive. Now, Joanna Coles guides them on their most important journey: finding love. Love Rules will enable you to identify what you want in a relationship, when you should pursue it, and how to find it.Just as there is junk food, there is junk love. And like junk food, junk love is fast, convenient, attractively packaged, widely available, superficially tasty—and leaves you hungering for more. And both junk food and junk love require enormous amounts of willpower to resist.Social media and online dating sites have become the supermarkets of our relationship lives. You have to wade through rows of cupcakes and potato chips to find the produce aisle, where those relationships grounded in intimacy and trust live—the ones worth your investment. A diet book for romantic relationships, Love Rules first asks women to re-assess the way they think about their relationships, and then helps them use that newfound awareness to navigate their love lives more successfully in this very modern, fast-paced—and often lonely—digital age.In these pages leading media exec and former Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire Joanna Coles provides a series of simple guidelines for finding worthwhile love: fifteen rules—love "hacks." She also explains how to use dating apps effectively to expand real world connections and how to avoid DADD—dating attention—deficit disorder, where the tantalizing promise of someone better appears to be only the next swipe away.

Teacher Misery perfectly encapsulates the comical misery that has become the teaching profession. Morris’ strange, funny, and sometimes unbelievable teaching experiences are told through a collection of short stories, essays and artifacts including real emails from parents, students and administrators. From the parents who blame their son’s act of arson on the teacher for causing him low self-esteem, to the student who offers to teach the teacher how to sell drugs so she can pay her bills, to the administrator whose best advice is to “treat kids like sacks of shit,” one story is more shocking than the next. An important read for teachers and non-teachers alike-- Teacher Misery paints an amusing and thoroughly entertaining picture of what has become of our education system, without detracting from the overall point that what teachers have to put up with today is complete, utter, unacceptable insanity.

WARNING! This book is highly offensive, and I recommend sensitive people do NOT READ IT! If you're feeling brave, or have a dark sense of humor, carry on...A Marine Infantry Officer confesses everything he shouldn't: his bloodlust for killing Taliban, his desire to break his Company Commander's face and frag the battalion staff, his willingness to win a game of "gay chicken" at all costs, his personal mission to smash the combat reporter who joined his unit, his sexual arousal at the sight of ED (Enemy Death), and his inability to take serious things seriously; while planning and executing the last combat operation of his deployment in Afghanistan; a nighttime helicopter raid named, Operation Branding Iron Part 2.1A. (Continued from National Geographic's "Battlefield Afghanistan")This is undoubtedly the most honest and raw account of an Officer's thoughts and actions during combat that has ever been written. After publishing this book, Donny O'Malley's job options are now reduced to low level sales and day labor construction. It is still unclear how he ever made it out of the Marines without court martial. Senior officer's will slam him, military historians will be shocked, and all civilians will be 100% certain he's psychotic. Fortunately, the book is written for the opposite of those mentioned above. It’s written for Enlisted guys.Officers who are brave enough to read will either cry themselves to sleep, jerk themselves off to Donny's picture, or will ask their buddies to write them up for an award with V for having the moral courage to finish the book."My moto boner is still raging strong and I read this book three days ago. I'm certain that my dick is going to explode, and I really don't care, because this book was that fucking good."- Marine I served with."858-555-5555- Hey bro that's my wife's phone number. You can fuck her whenever you want, just wear a condom and try not to blow anywhere near the face. I understand mistakes happen, but do your best. Thanks for writing the book, I really needed that." - Marine I never served with"Just wanted to say that your book is cracking me up. I think the people on the subway think I'm nuts because I can't stop uncontrollably laughing. I think I crack up because I know your jabroni ass and know that the shit you write about that is going on in your head is true, no bullshit. You are completely fucked up, in the good way. If people were to question if you were making this up I could say that it's no bullshit because I spent enough time with you to know that you beat off 10 times a day. I slept above you on ship and heard you beating dick all the time. Fuck it, what man doesn't beat off constantly? It's raw and honest. Like you said, as professional as all of us try to be (officers especially) deep down we are fuckin animals, neanderthals who just love pussy and talking about sucking dick, in a gay way, and when we get the chance, killing bad guys. Anyone who denies that, other than maybe the Col, is a fuckin liar.......PS-your description of Major Dyce is spot on... fuckin moron. Someone should have blew him up." - Lieutenant I served with.A message from the author- This book is a reach-around to all enlisted, and a FUCK YOU to every Officer who has ever written a politically correct, full-of-shit, “I’m a great leader,” book about combat. The truth is that Marines love killing more than they love pussy; they fantasize about mowing down insurgents with a machine gun while 70 virgins take turns blowing them.This is who we are, and I’m sick and tired of nerdy ass book writers hiding our reality from the public. Fuck the public, they’ll judge us and say we’re psychotic until they watch an ISIS beheading video, and then they'll beg us to come out of our cage to fight the bad guys. At which time we’ll head to the front line of evil and kill them all with a smile. Enjoy the read my brothers, this one's for you. Read more

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the 2026 Democratic candidate for governor of California, a “high-octane, no-bullshit” (The New Republic) memoir about re-energizing our politics and standing up to corporate America—while carting three kids around in a minivan.“Just like her whiteboard schoolings of CEOs, this book showcases Katie’s ability to entertain while making the inner workings of Congress more accessible than ever before.”—Julia Louis-DreyfusNever having run for office before, Katie Porter charted a new path in 2018 when she was elected to Congress as a Democrat in historically conservative Orange County, California. Underestimated as a single mom and chided for her progressive values, Katie defied expectations. Then, using her signature whiteboard, she began to take CEOs and corrupt government officials to task in Congressional hearings. The videos went viral, introducing Americans to her no-bullshit style, and making her a coveted guest on cable news and late-night television. I SWEAR: Politics Is Messier Than My Minivan is a witty, down-to-earth exploration of what it’s really like to serve in Congress, particularly as a single mom. Katie offers Americans a clear picture of what their elected leaders are doing—and how they’re doing it—exposing the gaps between politicians’ press conferences and real people’s lives. Katie reveals how her challenges as an Iowa farmgirl diverted her to the Ivy League and how she came to see herself as a Californian, teaching law and raising three kids in Orange County. She shares why she made the jump from academia to politics and how she quickly mastered the art of making CEOs and cabinet members squirm when they bluff and bloviate instead of doing the job for America.With the same clarity she demonstrates in Congressional hearings, Katie makes the case for consumer protection, corporate accountability, and anti-corruption reforms. She pulls back the curtain on the political messaging machine, campaign fundraising, and Congress’ traditions, showing that the way things have always worked, in fact, does not work for a Congressperson without someone at home to do the shopping and take care of the kids. Along the way, she provides whiteboard lessons on where your campaign donations go, how to fight the corporations that cheat you, and how to conduct her trademark robust oversight. Full of candid and inspiring stories—from how Katie lent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a pair of sneakers during the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, to her kids’ lightly illegal campaign hijinks—this is a book by an exhausted, committed parent who just doesn’t have the time for nonsense in her house or in the House of Representatives.

Your boss has questions about AI, and you need to have answersMost of the hype is bullshit. AI is already full of grifters, cons, and snake oil salesmen, and it’s only going to get worse.But, you can’t just say that to your boss.All they’re seeing are the promises.In a credibility contest between you and the CEOs who get prima donna interviews on 60 minutes promoting the greatest invention since the steam engine, the prima donnas will win.To prevent your boss from stepping into a bear trap, you need to be able to spot the trap.Your work can’t ignore generative AI forever. Somebody needs to step up and figure this out, without spending a decade studying mathematics and programming.Imagine being able to answer these questions and more, with concrete reasons why:What do these systems actually do well?How are they currently broken?How likely are those flaws to be fixed?Are there ways of benefiting from what they do well and avoiding what they do badly?Are these AI chatbot things as clever as they say they are?Can we use it, productively and safely?Or, should we avoid it until it improves?Provide answers, explanations, and recommendations with references.All without resorting to “just because” or “it feels iffy”.You can understand generative AI—how it works and how it doesn't work—but where to start?This is a great book. And very timely. And it doesn’t require you to be tech-savvy, let alone to be an AI engineer, to read this book.You start here, with this bookPraise for The Intelligence IllusionMany of his arguments opened my eyes. I’m glad I found his book at this timing. It’s a hype, at least for now and a foreseeable future. Use cases will likely be very limited. And to protect ourselves from bad actors, we need solid regulations, just like in the case of crypto.yasuhiro yoshida 吉田康浩 The Intelligence Illusion is full of practical down-to-earth advice based on plenty of research backed up with copious citations. I’m only halfway through it and it’s already helped me separate the hype from the reality.Jeremy KeithShould we build xGPT into our product?Before you answer, make sure to take advantage of all the homework Baldur Bjarnason has done for you.Brandon RohrerBack when I worked in publishing, I employed Baldur Bjarnason as a consultant on complex digital publishing projects, as I appreciated his ability to grasp technical detail and translate it into terms that a general manager could understand - and act upon. He has applied that same skill to a superb new ebook on the business risks of generative AI, which I was lucky enough to read in advance of publication. It combines deep research, logical analysis and clear business recommendations.George WalkleyI just bought the book this morning and it’s exactly what I needed. I have not seen a clearer description of how generative AI works, what it might be good for, and what the risks are. The references alone are worth the price of the book.Dave CramerAccessible for anyone who’s spent more than 15 minutes with a clueless executive or myopic developer (or, frankly, engaged with any of the technological “disruptions” of the past two decades), Bjarnason rigorously unpacks the many risks involved with the most popular use cases being promoted by unscrupulous executives. He brings plenty of receipts to support his observations, too, while also spotlighting areas where this technology might have legitimate potential for good. Highly recommended!Guy LeCharles Gonzalez Read more

The British Press. A pack of relentless ill-mannered mouth breathers notorious for their bumbling through the streets in pursuit of celebrity prey which they can torment with their foul and obnoxious questions endless insults and fruitless attempts to illicit photo-worthy reactions. If they had two brain cells between them all they’d still be fighting for third place.This band of asinine clowns answer to their tabloid overlords like starved street mutts desperate for any sign of praise that might move them up the ladder of journalistic depravity. If they were half as smart as they thought, they were they would be twice as smart as they actually are.The simple truth of it all is that for all their talk, their overt gesturing, their shouting, exclaiming yelling and boasting. For all the trap and foul-smelling fodder that they spew the simple truth remains. You cannot sprinkle bullshit with sugar and make it a cupcake. This includes the British Royal Family. While they try and try and try again their constant shifting and shuffling in the realm of the obscenely false narratives only moves them closer to the celebrity host position of children’s story hour at that local library. For all the tabloid's executive production and direction skills the once great royal house still faces the biggest challenge of its existence. Survival. Read more
