Nestlé is everywhere, and most people never notice. It’s in your water, your chocolate, your coffee, your cereal, and your kid’s lunchbox. It sells nutrition in one aisle and addiction in the next. And behind the friendly logos and fortified labels sits one of the most powerful, controversial, and unshakable companies in the world. NESTLÉ: The Company That Bottled the World is a history of how a single formula company grew into a global food empire and how it embedded itself into daily life across nearly every country on Earth.

Benjamin Franklin was more than a Founding Father. He was America’s first hacker. He was a printer, a scientist, a diplomat, and a self-made myth who rewired the world long before the Constitution was even an idea. In FRANKLIN: The Man Who Bottled Lightning, JJ pulls back the curtain on the real Franklin. The storm-chaser, the system-builder, and the charm weapon in a fur hat. This isn’t the wise old man on the $100 bill. This is the sharp-tongued runaway who crashed empires, invented solutions, won over nations, and made rebellion sound reasonable.

Winston Churchill is remembered as a hero. He was the voice of defiance, the wartime prime minister, and the lion who roared when the world needed it most. But behind the speeches and statues was a man far messier than the myth. He was brilliant and brutal, racist and eloquent, loyal to power and allergic to silence. And he knew exactly what he was doing. CHURCHILL: The Man Who Took the Mic cuts through the fog to show the full picture. The triumphs, the disasters, the ego, the empire, and the voice that wouldn’t shut up.

It’s just a logo. A checkmark. A curve. But somehow, it ended up on the feet of presidents, prisoners, billionaires, kids, warlords, athletes, and influencers alike. In Nike: The Cult of the Swoosh, JJ peels back the layers of one of the world’s most powerful brands. From its humble Oregon origins and track-side grind, to global dominance, controversy, and myth-making. This isn’t a takedown or a love letter. It’s a clear-eyed look at the machine behind the movement. The psychology, marketing, data, scandal, and swagger that turned a shoe company into a global belief system.

What makes something right? What makes it wrong? Who gets to decide? From tribal justice and sacred commandments to Enlightenment logic and AI algorithms, Ethics 101 traces the full arc of morality: how it evolved, who enforced it, and how the line between right and wrong keeps shifting with every generation. This book doesn’t preach. It just tells the story. From wolves to war criminals, prophets to protestors, and slave codes to software, JJ walks you through the real human history of ethics. Morality isn’t set in stone. It moves. And this is how we’ve been moving it.
