In his final novel - which he considered his most important - Aldous Huxley transports us to the remote Pacific island of Pala, where an ideal society has flourished for 120 years. Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and - to his amazement - give him hope.

His story is now a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.

Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.

One wrong move can undercut your message. Believe it or not, our bodies speak louder than our words. Postures, gestures, and expressions convey reams of information - and often not what you'd expect. A smile, for example, is usually considered welcoming. But crook one corner of your mouth higher, and you project superiority, subconsciously chasing other people away. Without Saying a Word explains how even the subtlest motions have meaning.

What is it like to be a dog? A bat? Or a dolphin? To find out, neuroscientist Gregory Berns and his team began with a radical step: they taught dogs to go into an MRI scanner - completely awake. They discovered what makes dogs individuals with varying capacities for self-control, different value systems, and a complex understanding of human speech. And dogs were just the beginning. In What It's Like to Be a Dog, Berns explores the fascinating inner lives of wild animals from dolphins and sea lions to the extinct Tasmanian tiger.

In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed - preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work - but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.

Good Counter to all the "Passion" Career Lit
- By Erin on 06-12-13
Publisher's Summary
Bill Nye has been the public face of science for more than 20 years. In Everything All at Once, the New York Times best-selling author urges listeners to become activists and agents of change.
Everything All at Once is an exciting, inspiring call to unleash the power of the nerd mindset that exists within us all. Nye believes we'll never be able to tackle our society's biggest, most complex problems if we don't even know how to solve the small ones. Step by step, he shows his listeners the key tools behind his everything-all-at-once approach: radical curiosity, a deep desire for a better future, and a willingness to take the actions needed to make it a reality. Problem solving is a skill that anyone can harness to create change, and Bill Nye is here to teach us how.
Each chapter describes a principle of problem solving that Nye himself uses - methodical, fact-based approaches to life that aspires to leave no stone unturned. He explains how the nerd mindset leads to a richer and more meaningful life; far more than that, it can help address hunger, crime, poverty, pollution, and even assist the democratic process. Throughout the book, Nye draws on his own experiences - leavened with his trademark humor and self-deprecation - to show how he came to think like a Science Guy, and how you can, too. By the end you will be ready to sort out problems, recognize solutions, and join him in changing the world.

Best Thing Bill Nye Has Ever Done!
I am a science teacher and a big Bill Nye fan from back to the Science Guy days.
In addition to the Science Guy show, I've seen much of Bill's TV and video work--Greatest Discoveries, Eyes of Nye, Bill Nye Saves the World. I've also read cover to cover his two previous books, Undeniable, and also Unstoppable. His latest book, Everything All at Once,
is the best thing he has ever done. The trademark puns and humorous expressions are all there, but this is definitely a cut above. I really like how Bill reveals so much about his family, upbringing, and personal life to explain where he is coming from. The writing is thoughtful, flows very well, and makes credible his impassioned call to action on climate change. As I got toward the final chapter, I didn't want it to end! Nerd or not, you need to read this book. Bill will inspire to you to help change the world!

Dares you into thinking inside the box.
Dares you into thinking inside the box.
...Is how I would put it.
In a time where many people search out far and beyond for answers, I for one, this book tells you that finding that answers to life begins with something as simple as tying your shoe correctly. Allow me to point out that this is not a step by step guide, but a memoir that parallels his application to life and bettering the world by unison and design.
I found Nye's insight uplifting and his delivery impeccable. Defying the defiance, bringing us back to square one to view life through basic laws and principles that govern the universe.

Bill Nye is awesome, but skip this one
I like Bill Nye and didn't want to give this a bad review, so I'm being as generous as I can with this review:
There really wasn't much to get out of this one. The only important thing to take away is that you should think critically and use rational thinking in order to make important decisions.

Bill Nye not only has many valuable insights for scientific minded people, he's also a great storyteller. Tales of his own life are just as enticing as his science lessons.

This is the first time I've come across Bill Nye. It was an entertaining read: but as a nerd I was hoping for more science.
