Dani knows this is the good exposure she needs to cement her deal and it doesn't hurt that the royal running things is fine as hell. Thrown together, they give in to the explosive attraction flaring between them. But as the glare of the limelight intensifies and outside forces try to interfere, will the Prince and Duchess be a fairy tale romance for the ages or a disaster of palatial proportions?

Title: Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and the Surprising Science of Real Toughness

Author: Steve Magness

Narrator: Mike Chamberlain

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:53:59

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Business & Economics, Non-Fiction, Self Development, Career Development, Health & Wellness, Psychology

Summary:

National Bestseller

''In Do Hard Things, Steve Magness beautifully and persuasively reimagines our understanding of toughness. This is a must-read for parents and coaches and anyone else looking to prepare for life's biggest challenges.'' -- Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers and host of the Revisionist History podcast

From beloved performance expert, executive coach, and coauthor of Peak Performance Steve Magness comes a radical rethinking of how we perceive toughness and what it means to achieve our high ambitions in the face of hard things.

Toughness has long been held as the key to overcoming a challenge and achieving greatness, whether it is on the sports field, at a boardroom, or at the dining room table. Yet, the prevailing model has promoted a mentality based on fear, false bravado, and hiding any sign of weakness. In other words, the old model of toughness has failed us.

Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, rebuilds our broken model of resilience with one grounded in the latest science and psychology. In Do Hard Things, Magness teaches us how we can work with our body how experiencing discomfort, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action can be the true indications of cultivating inner strength. He offers four core pillars to cultivate such resilience: 

Pillar 1- Ditch the Façade, Embrace Reality

Pillar 2- Listen to Your Body

Pillar 3- Respond, Instead of React 

Pillar 4- Transcend Discomfort   

Smart and wise all at once, Magness flips the script on what it means to be resilient. Drawing from mindfulness, military case studies, sports psychology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, he provides a roadmap for navigating lifes challenges and achieving high performance that makes us happier, more successful, and, ultimately, better people.

A Sarah Selects Book Club Pick!

As sophisticated and delicious as lobster bisque. Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author 

A shimmering summer read set in Maine about family secrets, marriage, motherhood, and privilege, from the bestselling author of Two Truths and a Lie and The Islanders.

Louisa has come to her parents house in Maine this summer with her three kids, a barely written book that has a looming deadline, and a trunkful of resentment. Louisa is hoping the crisp breeze will blow away her irritation for her life choices and replace it with enthusiasm for both her family and her writing.

But all isnt well in Maine. Louisas father, a retired judge and pillar of the community, is suffering from Alzheimers. Louisas mother is alternately pretending everything is fine and not pretending at all. And one of Louisas children happens upon a very confusing and heartfelt letter referring to something Louisa doesnt think her father could possibly have done.

Louisas not the only one searching for something in Maine this summer. Kristie took the Greyhound bus from Pennsylvania with the $761 left in her bank account and a whole lot of emotional baggage. She has a past shes trying to outrun, a secret shes trying to unpack, and a new boyfriend whos so impossibly kind she cant figure out what she did to deserve him.

As June turns to July turns to August, secrets will be unearthed, betrayals will come to light, and both Louisa and Kristie will ask themselves what they are owed and what they owe others. Both a delicious summer read and a compelling portrayal of family, responsibility, ambition, and loss, Vacationland is Meg Mitchell Moore at her best.

Title: We Carry Their Bones: The Search for Justice at the Dozier School for Boys

Narrator: Janina Edwards

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:01:31

Language: English

Release date: 06-14-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, True Crime, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, North America, Social Science

Summary:

''With We Carry Their Bones, Erin Kimmerle continues to unearth the true story of the Dozier School, a tale more frightening than any fiction. In a corrupt world, her unflinching revelations are as close as we'll come to justice.'' Colson Whitehead, Pulitzer-Prize Winning author of The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad

Forensic anthropologist Erin Kimmerle investigates of the notorious Dozier Boys Schoolthe true story behind the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel The Nickel Boysand the contentious process to exhume the graves of the boys buried there in order to reunite them with their families.

The Arthur G. Dozier Boys School was a well-guarded secret in Florida for over a century, until reports of cruelty, abuse, and mysterious deaths shut the institution down in 2011. Established in 1900, the juvenile reform school accepted children as young as six years of age for crimes as harmless as truancy or trespassing. The boys sent there, many of whom were Black, were subject to brutal abuse, routinely hired out to local farmers by the schools management as indentured labor, and died either at the school or attempting to escape its brutal conditions.

In the wake of the schools shutdown, Erin Kimmerle, a leading forensic anthropologist, stepped in to locate the schools graveyard to determine the number of graves and who was buried there, thus beginning the process of reuniting the boys with their families through forensic and DNA testing. The schools poorly kept accounting suggested some thirty-one boys were buried in unmarked graves in a remote field on the schools property. The real number was at least twice that. Kimmerles work did not go unnoticed; residents and local law enforcement threatened and harassed her team in their eagerness to control the truth she was uncoveringone she continues to investigate to this day.

We Carry Their Bones is a detailed account of Jim Crow America and an indictment of the reform school system as we know it. Its also a fascinating dive into the science of forensic anthropology and an important retelling of the extraordinary efforts taken to bring these lost children home to their familiesan endeavor that created a political firestorm and a dramatic reckoning with racism and shame in the legacy of America.
