How Women Can Beat the Confidence Con

Confidence noun con-fi-dence: when you know who you are, own who you're not, and choose to embrace all of it




If you had more confidence, what decisions would you make? What risks would you take? What dreams would you chase?




For women, confidence is often associated with doing it all-and doing it perfectly. When I earn that promotion, lose ten pounds, or meet the person of my dreams...then I'll feel confident. We've been bombarded with messaging telling us to be confident, but no one has told us how. Speaker, leadership strategist, and coach Nicole Kalil is changing that.




In Validation Is for Parking, Nicole provides a comprehensive guide for building internal trust and reclaiming confidence, a skill built from the inside out. You'll learn how to create boundaries, give yourself grace, and overcome the five most common derailers that impede progress and contribute to unhealthy patterns. This is a journey in which there are no shortcuts, but Nicole provides the guidance and support you need to break free from limiting narratives. A book for all women, Validation Is for Parking is an uplifting exploration of the untruths we believe and the internal antidotes that teach us to trust ourselves and become who we're meant to be.

Hardcover (1 to 2 lbs)

Journeys in the Footsteps of Graham Greene

Fascinated by depravity and unpredictability, horrified by the prospect of family life, Graham Greene's travels took him to some of the most neglected and dangerous parts of the world. Julia Llewellyn Smith catalogs Greene's destinations with political insight as well as humor, and finds herself attracted to the places where Greene had found himself at particularly dark times: Argentina at war, Mexico during religious persecutions, Vietnam on the brink of war, and Cuba just before the revolution. As she travels to these countries herself, Llewellyn Smith comes to understand them through Greene's accounts, and writes about their contemporary color and depth with a discerning perspective all her own.

Richard L. Hudson

A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin, and Reward

The originator of "fractal geometry" applies his theory to the stock market, revealing the chaos underneath commonly accepted patterns of rise and fall in the market, creating the foundations for a new "science of finance" in the process. 100,000 first printing.

Flirting with Disaster does what Blink did for intuition, The Black Swan did for probability and Freakonomics for microeconomics: offer an engaging, in-depth view of a complex and crux topic.

Why Accidents Are Rarely Accidental

"Despite warnings of impending disaster, preemptive action is rarely taken by those who have the ability to do so. How do smart, high-powered people, leaders of global corporations, national institutions, even nations, often get it so wrong? While most investigations focus on the technical causes of disaster, Flirting With Disaster examines the psychological, social, and cultural impediments to whistle-blowing, showing what we can do to reduce the possibility of disasters happening at all"--Publisher's website.

Evan Wright

“ a pungently written combat narrative & a close-range study of a bunch of twenty something warriors trying to get a handle on who they are “ - Time

Devil Dogs, Ice Man, Captain America, and the New Face of American War

Based on Evan Wright's National Magazine Award-winning story in Rolling Stone, this is the raw, firsthand account of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO® original mini-series. Within hours of 9/11, America’s war on terrorism fell to those like the twenty-three Marines of the First Recon Battalion, the first generation dispatched into open-ended combat since Vietnam. They were a new pop-culture breed of American warrior unrecognizable to their forebears—soldiers raised on hip hop, video games and The Real World. Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional and moral horrors ahead, the “First Suicide Battalion” would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq, and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer. Hailed as “one of the best books to come out of the Iraq war”(Financial Times), Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness, brutality and camaraderie of a new American War.

Michael Chabon

For sixty years Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end. Homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. And in the cheap hotel where Landsman has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under his nose. When he begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy, word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, and Landsman finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, evil, and salvation that are his heritage. At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.

Robot Butlers, Lunar Vacations, and Other Dead-Wrong Predictions of the Twentieth Century

Talking dolphins . . . Underwater cities . . . Two-hundred-year life spans . . . Welcome to the present! People have always imagined what life would be like in the future. Most of the time they've been wrong. Often they were really, really wrong. Your Flying Car Awaits looks at the most outrageous predictions from twentieth-century scientists, novelists, and social commentators, detailing the technolo-gies and philosophies that led some great (and not so great) minds to think the ridiculous was achievable. Includes phenomenally inaccurate predictions such as: Space tourism will be ubiquitous by the year 2000 Nuclear explosives will be used for commercial demolition Engineered and man-made oceans will cover the planet Weather will be as predictable and controllable as a train schedule An eye-opening, fascinating, and endlessly entertaining collec-tion of truly boneheaded scientific predictions from the past hundred years, Your Flying Car Awaits shines an illuminating light on the people of the previous century by examining the ridiculous theories they envisioned about this one.
