NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A Times (UK) Best Book of the Year - From the author of the million-copy-selling Essentialism comes an empowering guide to achieving your goals. It all starts with a simple principle: Not everything has to be so hard. "In a world beset by burnout, Greg McKeown's work is essential."--Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human "At a time when fear, uncertainty, and our ever-growing list of responsibilities have come to feel like much too much to handle, Effortless couldn't be timelier, or more necessary."--Eve Rodsky, author of Fair PlayDo you ever feel like: - You're teetering right on the edge of burnout?- You want to make a higher contribution, but lack the energy? - You're running faster but not moving closer to your goals? - Everything is so much harder than it used to be? As high achievers, we've been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren't perpetually exhausted, we're not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of "Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat," we're often working twice as hard to achieve half as much. Getting ahead doesn't have to be as hard as we make it. No matter what challenges or obstacles we face, there is a better way: instead of pushing ourselves harder, we can find an easier path. Effortless offers actionable advice for making the most essential activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want, without burning out. Effortless teaches you how to: - Turn tedious tasks into enjoyable rituals - Prevent frustration by solving problems before they arise - Set a sustainable pace instead of powering through - Make one-time choices that eliminate many future decisions - Simplify your processes by removing unnecessary steps- Make relationships easier to maintain and manage- And much more The effortless way isn't the lazy way. It's the smart way. It may even be the only way. Not every hard thing in life can be made easy. But we can make it easier to do more of what matters most.
The untold story of the unlikely heroes, the cutthroat politics, and the cultural forces that turned a deep South state blue--by a top reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Flipped promises to be the definitive account of how the election of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff transformed Georgia from one of the staunchest Republican strongholds to the nation's most watched battleground state--and ground zero for the disinformation wars certain to plague statewide and national elections in the future. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein charts how progressive activists and organizers worked to help register hundreds of thousands of new voters and how Biden's victory in Georgia may inform Democratic strategy for years to come. He will also chronicle how Georgia's Republicans countered with a move to the far right that culminated in key state leaders defying Trump's demands to overturn his defeat. Bluestein has interviewed all the key figures in this election, including Stacey Abrams, Brian Kemp, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Kelly Loeffler, as well as their aides and operatives. Flipped will also feature such incredible characters as political activist turned U.S. Congresswoman Nikema Williams; perma-tanned baseball star turned lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan; and fast-talking New York strategist Jaclyn Rothenberg, who helped lead Biden's triumphant Georgia campaign. This gripping narrative is framed within the cultural and political history of the Peach State. Flipped tells a story that will resonate through the rest of the decade and beyond, as most political experts see Georgia headed toward years of close elections, and Democrats have developed a deep bench of strong candidates to challenge entrenched Republicans. There will be even more interest in the state going forward, when Stacey Abrams mounts a likely rematch against Governor Brian Kemp in 2022, seeking to be the first Black female governor elected in the nation's history. Pro-Trump forces threaten to muster their own challenges against Kemp and others who stood against the president's attempts to overturn the election, making Georgia ground zero for the fight over the soul of the Republican party--and, by extension, Trump's political legacy.

A New York Times bestseller "An extraordinarily ambitious book . . . America, Am rica reads at times as the historical equivalent of the great epic novels of Gabriel Garc a M rquez." --Irish Times From the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, the first comprehensive history of the Western Hemisphere, a sweeping five-century narrative of North and South America that redefines our understanding of both The story of how the United States' identity was formed is almost invariably told by looking east to Europe. But as Greg Grandin vividly demonstrates, the nation's unique sense of itself was in fact forged facing south toward Latin America. In turn, Latin America developed its own identity in struggle with the looming colossus to the north. In this stunningly original reinterpretation of the New World, Grandin reveals how North and South emerged from a constant, turbulent engagement with each other. America, Am rica traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest--the greatest mortality event in human history--through the eighteenth-century wars for independence, the Monroe Doctrine, the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century, and beyond. Grandin shows, among other things, how in response to U.S. interventions, Latin Americans remade the rules, leading directly to the founding of the United Nations; and how the Good Neighbor Policy allowed FDR to assume the moral authority to lead the fight against world fascism. Grandin's book sheds new light on well-known historical figures like Bartolom de las Casas, Sim n Bol var, and Woodrow Wilson, as well as lesser-known actors such as the Venezuelan Francisco de Miranda, who almost lost his head in the French Revolution and conspired with Alexander Hamilton to free America from Spain; the Colombian Jorge Gait n, whose unsolved murder inaugurated the rise of Cold War political terror, death squads, and disappearances; and the radical journalist Ernest Gruening, who, in championing non-interventionism in Latin America, helped broker the most spectacularly successful policy reversal in United States history. This is a monumental work of scholarship that will fundamentally change the way we think of Spanish and English colonialism, slavery and racism, and the rise of universal humanism. At once comprehensive and accessible, America, Am rica shows that centuries of bloodshed and diplomacy not only helped shape the political identities of the United States and Latin America but also the laws, institutions, and ideals that govern the modern world. In so doing, Grandin argues that Latin America's deeply held culture of social democracy can be an effective counterweight to today's spreading rightwing authoritarianism. A culmination of a decades-long engagement with hemispheric history, drawing on a vast array of sources, and told with authority and flair, this is a genuinely new history of the New World.

But first Obi-Wan must help his undisciplined, idealistic apprentice, who still bears the scars of slavery, find his own balance.

As Sienar strikes with all the brutal power of the Trade Federation, Obi-Wan and Anakin sense a disturbance in the Force unlike any they have encountered before. It seems there are more secrets on Zonama Sekot than meet the eye. The search for those secrets will threaten the bond between Obi-Wan and Anakin . . . and bring the troubled young apprentice face-to-face with his deepest fears--and his darkest destiny.
