The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - John Koenig Cover Art

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “It’s undeniably thrilling to find words for our strangest feelings…Koenig casts light into lonely corners of human experience…An enchanting book. “ —The Washington Post A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express—until now. Have you ever wondered about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name: “sonder.” Or maybe you’ve watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life. That’s called “lachesism.” Or you were looking through old photos and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you’ve never actually experienced. That’s “anemoia.” If you’ve never heard of these terms before, that’s because they didn’t exist until John Koenig set out to fill the gaps in our language of emotion. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows “creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,” says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition—from “astrophe,” the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to “zenosyne,” the sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering the ineffable feelings that make up our lives. With a gorgeous package and beautiful illustrations throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives, word nerds, and human beings everywhere.

Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry - Ralph P. Lester Cover Art

Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry

Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry by Ralph P. Lester

This book contains the complete work of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-craft, and Master-mason's Degrees, along with their ceremonies, lectures, etc. It has doubtless been a matter of comment and surprise among the Members of the Fraternity that all the books which are avowedly intended to serve as guides to the Work of a Lodge invariably contain more or less than their professed object demands. They are usually deficient in the very points that may be most needed, rendering the use of a separate Monitor unavoidable; while, on the other hand, they include a great deal of information on matters with which every Mason is necessarily perfectly familiar, and which it is neither needful nor desirable to be communicated to the uninitiated. It has been the aim of the compiler of this little volume to avoid both these defects: first, by omitting all passwords, grips, and other esoteric subjects; and second, by giving the work of the first three degrees monitorially as well as ritually complete, in plain language for ready reference, and entirely free from the tedious perplexities of cypher or other arbitrary and unintelligible contractions.

Los siete principios para hacer que el matrimonio funcione: Una guía práctica del mayor experto en parejas de John Gottman: Conversaciones Escritas del Libro Un matrimonio está a tiempo de salvarse si ambas partes recuerdan y aprecian sus días más felices y por qué se enamoraron el uno con el otro. Pero cuando ambos han reescrito su historia y la comunicación se ha vuelto imposible, el matrimonio finalmente fracasará. El factor determinante de si las esposas se sienten satisfechas con el sexo, el romance y la pasión en su matrimonio es, en un 70 por ciento, la calidad de la amistad de la pareja. Para los hombres, el factor determinante es, en un 70 por ciento, la calidad de la amistad de la pareja. Cuatro factores conducen a matrimonios fallidos. Estos son: las críticas, el desprecio, la actitud defensiva y el obstruccionismo. Daniel Goleman, el autor de La inteligencia emocional, dice que el libro es una "guía práctica para tener un matrimonio emocionalmente inteligente y duradero". Newsweek dice que John Gottman tiene la mejor formación para escribir este libro. Él es a la vez un científico y un romántico.

100,000 Whys Book for Adults: The Ultimate Encyclopedia for the Curious Adult - Levin Tillman Cover Art

100,000 Whys Book for Adults: The Ultimate Encyclopedia for the Curious Adult

100,000 Whys Book for Adults: The Ultimate Encyclopedia for the Curious Adult by Levin Tillman

You've been curious your entire life. This book finally keeps up with you. Why is there something instead of nothing? Why do we dream? Why does money have value? Why do empires fall? Why does music give you chills? Why do you keep repeating the same mistakes? Why is the sky blue — and what does that question lead to if you follow it all the way down? These are the questions you've wondered about since childhood — the ones that get brushed aside in classrooms, glossed over in conversation, and answered online with walls of jargon that explain nothing. You deserved better then. You deserve better now. 100,000 Whys: The Ultimate Encyclopedia for Curious Adults is a landmark work of popular nonfiction that covers the full sweep of human knowledge — science, philosophy, history, psychology, technology, nature, culture, and the deep unknown — in a format designed for the way real adults actually want to learn: clearly, directly, and without being talked down to. Inside, you'll find: More than 600 questions across 51 chapters and 9 major parts — from the foundations of reality to the future of artificial intelligence, from why your body does surprising things to why civilizations rise and fall, from the smallest quirks of daily life to the largest unanswered mysteries in all of science. Every answer follows the same satisfying structure: a direct response that gets to the point immediately, a tight explanation that actually makes sense, a real-world analogy where it helps, and a closing insight that makes the answer feel complete — leaving you not just informed, but genuinely enlightened. This is not a textbook. It is not dumbed down. It is not written for children. It is written for intelligent, curious adults who have always known that the world is more interesting than most books give it credit for — and who are finally ready for a book that agrees. From the very first page, readers have described the experience the same way: "I finally understand." Whether you read it straight through from the Big Bang to the infinite why engine at the end, or open it at random and fall into a chain of questions you never expected to ask, 100,000 Whys is the kind of book that makes the world feel larger, more connected, and more astonishing than it did before you opened it. It is a book for the intellectually alive — for the person who reads a news headline and wonders why the underlying thing is true, who stares at the night sky and wants to know what they're actually looking at, who has always suspected that the real answers to even the simplest questions are far more interesting than anyone ever bothered to explain. The world has been waiting for a book that takes adult curiosity seriously. This is that book. If you've ever looked at something ordinary and thought "but why, really?" — if you've ever wanted one book that could help you understand everything from physics to philosophy, from the human brain to the behavior of markets, from the origin of life to the future of civilization — then stop whatever you're doing, add this book to your cart right now, and treat yourself to the most intellectually satisfying read of your life. The questions have always been there. The answers are finally here. Perfect for: Lifelong learners, science enthusiasts, philosophy readers, history lovers, curious professionals, gift-givers, and anyone who has ever asked "why" and deserved a better answer than they got.

Daily Rituals - Mason Currey Cover Art

Daily Rituals

Daily Rituals How Artists Work by Mason Currey

More than 150 inspired—and inspiring—novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians on how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do. Franz Kafka, frustrated with his living quarters and day job, wrote in a letter to Felice Bauer in 1912, “time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.”   Kafka is one of 161 minds who describe their daily rituals to get their work done, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks. Thomas Wolfe wrote standing up in the kitchen, the top of the refrigerator as his desk, dreamily fondling his “male configurations”.... Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on Corydrane tablets (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin), ingesting ten times the recommended dose each day ... Descartes liked to linger in bed, his mind wandering in sleep through woods, gardens, and enchanted palaces where he experienced “every pleasure imaginable.” Here are: Anthony Trollope, who demanded of himself that each morning he write three thousand words (250 words every fifteen minutes for three hours) before going off to his job at the postal service, which he kept for thirty-three years during the writing of more than two dozen books ... Karl Marx ... Woody Allen ... Agatha Christie ... George Balanchine, who did most of his work while ironing ... Leo Tolstoy ... Charles Dickens ... Pablo Picasso ... George Gershwin, who, said his brother Ira, worked for twelve hours a day from late morning to midnight, composing at the piano in pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers.... Here also are the daily rituals of Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, and Igor Stravinsky (he was never able to compose unless he was sure no one could hear him and, when blocked, stood on his head to “clear the brain”).

A story where the character gets exactly what they want doesn't make for good reading. But add villainous clashes, lost advantages, power struggles, and menacing threats...well, now we have the makings of a page-turner.

The Emotion Amplifier: A Writer's Guide to Character Stress and Volatility

The Emotion Amplifier: A Writer's Guide to Character Stress and Volatility Second Edition by Becca Puglisi

Characters who are in control of their emotions rarely slip up, which makes for boring reading. To avoid that pitfall, channel your dark side and introduce stress that will make it harder for them to think clearly. Your weapon of choice? An amplifier. Pain, arousal, dehydration—conditions and states like these make it difficult for a character to emotionally self-regulate, setting them up for overreactions, misjudgments, and (hopefully) colossal mistakes they’ll have to fix and learn from. Inside The Emotion Amplifier Thesaurus, you’ll find: ·      A deep dive into cognitive and emotional dissonance and how psychological discomfort steers a character’s reasoning and impacts their ability to make decisions ·      Information on emotional stress as a trigger for self-awareness and personal growth, which makes amplifiers powerful levers to help steer story structure and character arc ·      Lists of body language cues, internal sensations, thoughts, and other descriptives to show the effects of more than fifty amplifiers ·      Brainstorming help on how to use each amplifier to generate tension and complication, apply everyday pressure, and make a character emotionally volatile ·      Fifty-two bonus writing tips to help you wield amplifiers with skill and precision, taking your scenes from good to great Push your characters. Give them no quarter. Use physical, cognitive, and psychological strain to force them to face their mistakes, acknowledge their true feelings, and work through the contradictions at the heart of every inner struggle.
