The Betrayal: How Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans Abandoned America
In two previous highly regarded books on the U.S. Senate, Ira Shapiro
chronicled the institution from its apogee in the 1970s through its decline
in the decades since. Now, Shapiro turns his gaze to how the Senate
responded to the challenges posed by the Trump administration and its
prospects under President Biden. The Founding Fathers gave the US Senate
many functions, but it had one fundamental responsibility—its raison
d’etre: to provide the check against a dangerous president who threatened
our democracy. Two hundred and thirty years later, when Donald Trump, a
potential authoritarian, finally reached the White House, the Senate should
have served as both America’s first and last lines of defense. Instead, we
had the nightmare scenario: today’s Senate, reduced through a long period
of decline to a hyper-partisan, gridlocked shadow of its former self, was
unable to meet its fundamental responsibility. Shapiro documents the
pivotal challenges facing the Senate during the Trump administration,
arguing that the body’s failure to provide leadership represents the most
catastrophic failure of government in American history. The last section
covers the Senate’s performance during President Biden’s first year in
office and looks forward to the 2022 Senate elections and beyond. Read more

After the Fall: Being American in the World We’ve Made
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Vital reading for Americans and people
anywhere who seek to understand what is happening ‘after the fall’ of the
global system created by the United States” (New York Journal of Books),
from the former White House aide, close confidant to President Barack
Obama, and author of The World as It Is At a time when democracy in the
United States is endangered as never before, Ben Rhodes spent years
traveling the world to understand why. He visited dozens of countries,
meeting with politicians and activists confronting the same nationalism and
authoritarianism that are tearing America apart. Along the way, he
discusses the growing authoritarianism of Vladimir Putin, and his
aggression towards Ukraine, with the foremost opposition leader in Russia,
who was subsequently poisoned and imprisoned; he profiled Hong Kong
protesters who saw their movement snuffed out by China under Xi
Jinping; and America itself reached the precipice of losing democracy
before giving itself a fragile second chance. The characters and issues
that Rhodes illuminates paint a picture that shows us where we are
today—from Barack Obama to a rising generation of international leaders;
from the authoritarian playbook endangering democracy to the flood of
disinformation enabling authoritarianism. Ultimately, Rhodes writes
personally and powerfully about finding hope in the belief that looking
squarely at where America has gone wrong can make clear how essential it is
to fight for what America is supposed to be, for our own country and the
entire world. Read more
Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home
Dispatches from the Edge meets In an Instant in this dramatic memoir of
war, family, resilience, and recovery from Benjamin Hall, the Fox News
journalist who was gravely injured by a Russian attack in the early days of
the invasion of Ukraine.When veteran war reporter Benjamin Hall woke up in
Kyiv on the morning of March 14, 2022, he had no idea that, within hours,
Russian bombs would nearly end his life. As a journalist for Fox News, Hall
had worked in dangerous war zones like Syria and Afghanistan, but with
three young daughters at home, life on the edge was supposed to be a thing
of the past. Yet when Russia viciously attacked Ukraine in February 2022,
Hall quickly volunteered to go; despite the risks, he knew that Americans
needed to understand this world-altering conflict. A few weeks later, while
on assignment, Hall and his crew were blown up in a Russian strike. With
Hall himself gravely injured and stuck in Kyiv, it was unclear if he would
make it out alive.This is the story of how he survived—a story that
continues to this day. For the first time, Hall shares his experience in
full—from his ground-level view of the war to his dramatic rescue to his
arduous, and ongoing, recovery. Going inside the events that have
permanently transformed him, Hall recalls his time at the front lines of
our world’s conflicts, exploring how his struggle to step away from war
reporting led him back one perilous last time, and explaining how his years
of experience kept him safe, right up until they failed him. Featuring
nail-biting accounts from the many people across multiple countries who
banded together to get him to safety, Hall offers a stunning look at
complex teamwork and heartfelt perseverance that turned his life into a
mission. He’d been telling war stories for years, and now, suddenly, he was
one.Through it all, Hall’s spirit has remained undaunted, buoyed by that
remarkable corps of people from around the world whose collective
determination ensured his survival—the former and current military
personnel who rescued him, the medical staff who saved him, his coworkers
who fought for his safe return, and his family who supported him at every
turn. Ultimately, this trauma, the greatest of his life, serves as a
pivotal reminder to us all of the fundamental goodness in the world,
illuminating how the horrors of war can bring about the best in humanity.
Evocative, harrowing, and deeply moving, Saved is a powerful memoir of
family and friends, of life and healing, and of how to respond when you are
tested in ways you never thought possible.Benjamin Hall’s memoir includes a
16-page color photo insert. Read more

master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity,
comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that
same deep wisdom to all of us.”A gorgeous and inspiring work of art on

writers and artists everywhere, and get them working again with a new sense
of meaning and direction. A stunning accomplishment.” —Anne Lamott“I set

it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.” —Rick RubinMany famed music

Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes
America’s most popular sports media figure tells it like it is in this
surprisingly personal book, not only dishing out his signature, uninhibited
opinions but also revealing the challenges he overcame in childhood as well
as at ESPN, and who he really is when the cameras are off.Stephen A. Smith
has never been handed anything, nor was he an overnight success. Growing up
poor in Queens, the son of Caribbean immigrants and the youngest of six
children, he was a sports-obsessed kid who faced a number of struggles,
from undiagnosed dyslexia to getting enough cereal to fill his bowl. As a
basketball player at Winston-Salem State University, he got a glimmer of
his true calling when he wrote a newspaper column arguing for the
retirement of his own Hall of Fame coach, Clarence Gaines. Smith hustled
and rose up from a high school reporter at Daily News (New York) to a
general sports columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer in the 1990s, before
getting his own show at ESPN in 2005. After he was unceremoniously fired
from the network in 2009, he became even more determined to fight for
success. He got himself rehired two years later and, with his razor-sharp
intelligence and fearless debate style, found his role on the show he was
destined to star in: First Take, the network’s flagship morning program. In
Straight Shooter, Smith writes about the greatest highs and deepest lows of
his life and career. He gives his thoughts on Skip Bayless, Ray Rice, Colin
Kaepernick, the New York Knicks, the Dallas Cowboys, and former President
Donald Trump. But he also pulls back the curtain and talks about life
beyond the set, sharing authentic stories about his negligent father, his
loving mother, being a father himself, his battle with life-threatening
COVID-19, and what he really thinks about politics and social issues. He
does it all with the same intelligence, humor, and charm that has made him
a household name. Provocative, moving, and eye-opening, this book is the
perfect gift for lovers of sports, television, and anyone who likes their
stories delivered straight to the heart. Read more

The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness
What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life? According to
the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest
scientific study of happiness ever conducted, the answer to these questions
may be closer than you realize. What makes a life fulfilling and
meaningful? The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The
stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy,
satisfying, and overall healthier lives. In fact, the Harvard Study of
Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others
can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through
life. The invaluable insights in this book emerge from the revealing
personal stories of hundreds of participants in the Harvard Study as they
were followed year after year for their entire adult lives, and this wisdom
is bolstered by research findings from this and many other studies.
Relationships in all their forms—friendships, romantic partnerships,
families, coworkers, tennis partners, book club members, Bible study
groups—all contribute to a happier, healthier life. And as The Good Life
shows us, it’s never too late to strengthen the relationships you have, and
never too late to build new ones. Dr. Waldinger’s TED Talk about the
Harvard Study, “What Makes a Good Life,” has been viewed more than 42
million times and is one of the ten most-watched TED talks ever. The Good
Life has been praised by bestselling authors Jay Shetty (“Robert Waldinger
and Marc Schulz lead us on an empowering quest towards our greatest need:
meaningful human connection”), Angela Duckworth (“In a crowded field of
life advice and even life advice based on scientific research, Schulz and
Waldinger stand apart”), and happiness expert Laurie Santos (“Waldinger and
Schulz are world experts on the counterintuitive things that make life
meaningful”). With warmth, wisdom, and compelling life stories, The Good
Life shows us how we can make our lives happier and more meaningful through
our connections to others. Read more
The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery
This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how
to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create
self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often
until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from
our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better
understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a
cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves,
we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the
mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face,
especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains,
we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma,
building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the
end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves. Read more
