What does it look like to rise to the occasion on the most public of stages? How do you inspire those around you to believe in a common cause, or to take steps that benefit the whole even at the expense of the self? In his new book, MEETING THE MOMENT: Inspiring Presidential Leadership that Transformed America (SUNY Press; November 1, 2024) William Haldeman, with experience serving two presidencies (Bush and Obama), looks at six US presidents across party lines and eras, detailing the crucial points in history when their leadership abilities were on full display-the instances when they leveraged their wisdom and lived experience to inspire, memorialize, challenge, dare, or in one case, with recent resonance, simply retire. In the telling, Haldeman explores well-known events and reinvigorates them, looking at them through the lens of courage and leadership. Eight score and one year ago, Lincoln gave a brief speech in rural Pennsylvania, but what led him to that moment? Why was Jefferson confident the US was ready to acquire land from west of the Mississippi to the Rockies? And perhaps most relevant to our current moment, what gave Washington the strength to walk away from power at a time when the founders' archetype of leadership, Kings, would never consider doing so? How do these stories from centuries past show us what leadership looks like in the 21st century? Whether one aspires to political office or simply to improve their ability to lead and serve those around them, MEETING THE MOMENT is an indispensable look at the skills needed to unify and inspire under the most challenging of circumstances.

Brigit Esselmont, founder of the immensely successful online tarot resource Biddy Tarot, brings us a mix of practical tools and intuitive wisdom in INTUITIVE MANIFESTING, a breakthrough approach to manifesting your goals. Do you want to make your wildest dreams a reality? For many of us, realizing our dreams may seem like a daunting journey. And while the popular practice of manifestation can help on that path, it can be difficult to know where to start. To harness this tool’s power and learn what manifestation really means, we must stop focusing on what we think we should want, and instead look inward, toward our own intuition. With the right guide, the right tools, and the right mindset, when we tune into our soul-aligned manifestation powers and journey inward, our potential is limitless.

25 years after its initial release, Kurt Vonnegut's biting portrayal of America's mad chaos, BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS returns in a restored 4K version, the perfect film for our complicated times. Directed by Alan Rudolph, and starring Bruce Willis, Albert Finney, Nick Nolte, Glenne Headly, Barbara Hershey, Omar Epps, Luka Haas and many more, the incisive comedy has been overlooked for far too long. And, in conjunction with the comedy's 25th Anniversary, there's no better time to rediscover Rudolph's unique cinematic vision and the timeless relevance of Vonnegut's work in a pristine restoration ready to provoke thought and captivate audiences all over again. BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS tells the story of car dealership titan Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis), the most respected man in Midland City. His smiling face appears on every local channel and billboard - a shining symbol of the American success syndrome. His message is "You Can Trust Dwayne Hoover." And so they do. But Dwayne Hoover is not smiling inside. Nor can he be trusted. Dwayne's shady prosperity, picture-frame family, and small mind are cracking. His television commercial-addicted wife (Barbara Hershey) may or may not be physically present when he's with her. His son (Lukas Haas) resides in a bomb shelter aspiring to be a lounge singer. His paranoid sales manager (Nick Nolte) has a significant sex secret. A Dwayne Hoover worshipper (Omar Epps) has taken up residence on his car lot. And his adulating secretary/lover (Glenne Headly) wonders if Dwayne Hoover has changed. The reeling business titan needs to find something or someone immediately to tell him the truth, to guide him out of this punishing, yet well-deserved, self-doubt. Simultaneous to Dwayne expanding breakdown, an impoverished and nonsensical science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney), is making his way to Midland City's Fine Arts Festival, hailed as the world's greatest author by Midland City's wealthiest cultural leader. Once Hoover discovers Trout's impending arrival, he is maniacally determined to meet the author and receive the message that will restore his confidence and well-being. But when their orbits finally collide, neither Dwayne Hoover, Kilgore Trout, nor Midland City is prepared for the inexplicable and volatile results.
