    Shrill: Notes from a Loud WomanShrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West

    Over 1,900 5-Star Reviews!

    Hailed by Lena Dunham as an "essential (and hilarious) voice for women", Lindy West is ferociously witty and outspoken, tackling topics as varied as pop culture, social justice, and body image. Her empowering work has garnered a coast-to-coast audience that eagerly awaits Shrill, her highly anticipated literary debut.

    West has rocked the public in work published everywhere from The Guardian to GQ and heard on This American Life. She is a catalyst for a national conversation in a world where not all stories are created equal and not everybody is treated with equal respect. Shrill is comprised of a series of essays that bravely share her life, including her transition from quiet to feminist-out-loud, coming of age in a popular culture that is hostile to women (especially fat, funny women), and how keeping quiet is not an option for any of us.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 What It’s Like to Be a Dog

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 03/23/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    What It's Like to Be a Dog: And Other Adventures in Animal NeuroscienceWhat It’s Like to Be a Dog: And Other Adventures in Animal Neuroscience by Gregory Berns

    What is it like to be a dog? A bat? Or a dolphin? To find out, neuroscientist Gregory Berns and his team began with a radical step: they taught dogs to go into an MRI scanner – completely awake. They discovered what makes dogs individuals with varying capacities for self-control, different value systems, and a complex understanding of human speech. And dogs were just the beginning.

    In What It’s Like to Be a Dog, Berns explores the fascinating inner lives of wild animals from dolphins and sea lions to the extinct Tasmanian tiger. Much as Silent Spring transformed how we thought about the environment, so What It’s Like to Be a Dog will fundamentally reshape how we think about – and treat – animals. Groundbreaking and deeply humane, it is essential listening for animal lovers of all stripes.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 Misbehaving

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 03/22/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral EconomicsMisbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard Thaler

    Over 2,000 5-Star Reviews!

    Get ready to change the way you think about economics.

    Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans – predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth—and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.

    Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people.

    Coupling recent discoveries in human psychology with a practical understanding of incentives and market behavior, Thaler enlightens readers about how to make smarter decisions in an increasingly mystifying world.

    Laced with antic stories of Thaler’s spirited battles with the bastions of traditional economic thinking, Misbehaving is a singular look into profound human foibles. When economics meets psychology, the implications for individuals, managers, and policy makers are both profound and entertaining.
