Summary:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | Winner of the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing | Winner of The Times Sports Biography of the Year | The definitive biography of an American icon, from a best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author with unique access to Alis inner circle.

''Finally Muhammad Ali has a biography as big, complex, and memorable as the man himself.'' T.J. Stiles, author of Custer's Trials and The First Tycoon 

Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Clay in racially segregated Louisville, Kentucky, the son of a sign painter and a housekeeper. He went on to become a heavyweight boxer with a dazzling mix of power and speed, a warrior for racial pride, a comedian, a preacher, a poet, a draft resister, an actor, and a lover. Millions hated him when he changed his religion, changed his name, and refused to fight in the Vietnam War. He fought his way back, winning hearts, but at great cost.

Jonathan Eig, hailed by Ken Burns as one of Americas master storytellers, sheds important new light on Alis politics, religion, personal life, and neurological condition through unprecedented access to all the key people in Alis life, more than 500 interviews and thousands of pages of previously unreleased FBI and Justice Department files and audiotaped interviews from the 1960s. Ali: A Life is a story about America, about race, about a brutal sport, and about a courageous man who shook up the world.

As Muhammad Alis life was an epic of a life so Ali: A Life is an epic of a biography . . . for pages in succession its narrative reads like a novela suspenseful novel with a cast of vivid characters. Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times Book Review

Title: 10% Happier 10th Anniversary: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story

Author: Dan Harris

Narrator: Dan Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:27:57

Language: English

Release date: 03-05-24

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Self Development, Health & Wellness, Mindfulness & Meditation

Summary:

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller that changed the way we look at meditation, expanded with new material by Dan Harris.

After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head.

We all have an inner narrator. Its what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when were not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us assume were stuck with this voicethat theres nothing we can do to rein it inbut Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that.

10% Happier is now considered a classic text on the power of meditation, an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened skeptic. With over a million copies sold, 10% Happier is the go-to guide, and with meditation now a widely accepted and encouraged practice, Dan Harris is a pivotal and approachable figure in the field who has built a thriving platform based on the ideas he first presented in this book.

In this 10th Anniversary Edition, Harris offers a new preface reflecting on how much has changedfor him and for the public perceptions of meditation, plus a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to boot up a habit.

Little did Anthony Cade suspect that an errand for a friend would place him at the center of a deadly conspiracy. Drawn into a web of intrigue, he begins to realize that the simple favor has placed him in serious danger.

As events unfold, the combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Sûreté gradually converge on Chimneys, the great country estate that hides an amazing secret. . . .

A practical joke goes chillingly, murderously wrong in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christies classic detective story, The Seven Dials Mystery.

For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words ''Seven Dials'' were to take on a new and chilling significance. . . .

Title: Let There Be Laughter: A Treasury of Great Jewish Humor and What It All Means

Author: Michael Krasny

Narrator: Michael Krasny

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:41:12

Language: English

Release date: 03-08-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Essays & Memoirs, General Comedy

Summary:

From the host of NPR affiliates Forum with Michael Krasny, a compendium of Jewish jokes that packs the punches with hilarious riff after riff and also offers a window into Jewish culture.

Michael Krasny has been telling Jewish jokes since his bar mitzvah, and its been said that he knows more of them than anyone on the planet. He certainly states his case in this wise, enlightening, and hilarious book that not only collects the best of Jewish humor passed down from generation to generation, but explains the cultural expressions and anxieties behind the laughs.

''Whats Jewish Alzheimers?''

''You forget everything but the grudges.''

''You must be so proud. Your daughter is the President of the United States!''

''Yes. But her brother is a doctor!''

''Isnt Jewish humor masochistic?''

''No. And if I hear that one more time I am going to kill myself.''

With his background as a scholar and public-radio host, Krasny delves deeply into the themes, topics, and form of Jewish humor: chauvinism undercut by irony and self-mockery, the fear of losing cultural identity through assimilation, the importance of vocal inflection in joke-telling, and calls to communal memory, including the use of Yiddish.

Borrowing from traditional humor and such Jewish comedy legends as Jackie Mason, Mel Brooks, and Joan Rivers, Larry David, Sarah Silverman, Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer, Let There Be Laughter is an absolute pleasure for the chosen and goyim alike.

Title: This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate

Author: Naomi Klein

Narrator: Ellen Archer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20:44:01

Language: English

Release date: 05-06-21

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Politics, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Public Policy

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Naomi Klein, author of the #1 international bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, returns with This Changes Everything, a must-read on how the climate crisis needs to spur transformational political change

Forget everything you think you know about global warming. It's not about carbon - it's about capitalism. The good news is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better.

In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth.

Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate.

You have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. You have been told it's impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it - it just requires breaking every rule in the 'free-market' playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies and reclaiming our democracies.

You have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back for the next economy is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring.

Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It's about changing the world - before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe.

Either we leap - or we sink.

Once a decade, Naomi Klein writes a book that redefines its era. No Logo did so for globalization. The Shock Doctrine changed the way we think about austerity. This Changes Everything is about to upend the debate about the stormy era already upon us.
