Book excerpt: Emojis—we've all seen then and we've all most likely used them at one time or another, but in reality we know very little about them... until now! Emojis are everywhere, from Facebook and Twitter to the desperate texts from your mom asking again how to log into her Netflix account. We're all familiar with the smiley face laughing hysterically, the grinning cat, and the guy with the dodgy 'stache, but what's the story behind these ubiquitous pictograms? Over the following pages, Emojis reveals all with a series of hilarious interviews and exposés with some of the most popular icons from the social media scene. Did you know, for example, that the dancing girl emoji despises the Macarena? Or that the happy devil smiley face has an unhealthy obsession with eating plenty of fiber? You do now! Along with these eye-opening tales, you will also meet the pictograms that the developers never wanted you to see, like the emoji nerd who is making a fortune through internet start-ups, the punk with the Mohican or the bearded hipster who is way cooler than you. And if that's not enough, there's a hilarious section on misunderstanding emojis plus fun quizzes on the best films, books, TV shows, and more described for you only in the language of emoji.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preeminent psychologist Lisa Barrett lays out how the brain constructs emotions in a way that could revolutionize psychology, health care, the legal system, and our understanding of the human mind. “Fascinating . . . A thought-provoking journey into emotion science.”—The Wall Street Journal “A singular book, remarkable for the freshness of its ideas and the boldness and clarity with which they are presented.”—Scientific American “A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion, by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin.”—Daniel Gilbert, best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture. A lucid report from the cutting edge of emotion science, How Emotions Are Made reveals the profound real-world consequences of this breakthrough for everything from neuroscience and medicine to the legal system and even national security, laying bare the immense implications of our latest and most intimate scientific revolution.

Book excerpt: WALL STREET JOURNAL, LOS ANGELES TIMES, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Anyone—even you!—can learn how to harness the power of humor in business (and life), based on the popular class at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. Don’t miss the authors’ TED Talk, “Why great leaders take humor seriously,” online now. “The ultimate guide to using the magical power of funny as a tool for leadership and a force for good.”—Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive We are living through a period of unprecedented uncertainty and upheaval in both our personal and professional lives. So it should come as a surprise to exactly no one that trust, human connection, and mental well-being are all on the decline. This may seem like no laughing matter. Yet, the research shows that humor and laughter are among the most valuable tools we have at our disposal for strengthening bonds and relationships, diffusing stress and tension, boosting resilience, and performing when the stakes are high. That’s why Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world’s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds infuse more humor and levity into their work and lives. In Humor, Seriously, they draw on findings by behavioral scientists, world-class comedians, and inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and—more important—how you can use more of it, better. Aaker and Bagdonas unpack the theory and application of humor: what makes something funny, how to mine your life for material, and simple ways to identify and leverage your unique humor style. They show how to use humor to rebuild vital connections; appear more confident, competent, and authentic at work; and foster cultures where levity and creativity can thrive. President Dwight David Eisenhower once said, “A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.” If Dwight David Eisenhower, the second least naturally funny president (after Franklin Pierce), thought humor was necessary to win wars, build highways, and warn against the military-industrial complex, then you might consider learning it too.

This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had my first formal guitar lesson in 1972, in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia, when I was eight years old. Since then, I’ve spoken to Ringo Starr (who gave me a poke in the chest while talking to me), shared photographs backstage with Ringo’s fellow member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ricky Nelson, and co-wrote and co-produced an album of songs with the multi-award-winning producer, musician, and songwriter, Preston Glass. I wouldn’t have had those opportunities had it not been for the people who’ve helped me navigate my musical journey, and who mean the most to me. My family and friends. I love music. I love making it, I love hearing it, I love feeling it. “Write it down.” I’ve heard that more than a few times from friends and family. “Write a book, Joe.” So I’m giving it a go. And I’d love to share with you some of the stories and events that have allowed me to make a living in music. I’ll bet some of the stories will bring a smile; a few may make you sad. You’ll also probably know some of my friends and family. Maybe not personally, but they’ll remind you of people who’ve helped shape your life, who have helped you realize your dream, as my friends and family have for me. So, are you all set? Good! Allow me the honor. One...two...three...four!

Book excerpt: A bestselling and award-winning debut collection from one of South Korea's most prominent young writers. In crisp, unembellished prose, Eun-young Choi paints intimate portraits of the lives of young women in South Korea, balancing the personal with the political. In the title story, a fraught friendship between an exchange student and her host sister follows them from adolescence to adulthood. In "A Song from Afar," a young woman grapples with the death of her lover, traveling to Russia to search for information about the deceased. In "Secret," the parents of a teacher killed in the Sewol ferry sinking hide the news of her death from her grandmother. In the tradition of Sally Rooney, Banana Yoshimoto, and Marilynne Robinson--writers from different cultures who all take an unvarnished look at human relationships and the female experience--Choi Eunyoung is a writer to watch.
