Book excerpt: In 2038 the world consists of firmly controlled systems. Every purchase is tracked on the Card. Medical treatment is dictated by a Health Care Index number. One's every steps are tracked. For Andrew Collier this has never been a problem. An astronomer with comfortable means, he has abided by his nation's laws all his life. Until now. Discovering the high probability of an asteroid colliding with Earth, Andrew shares this information with a friend and NASA employee, who grudgingly presses the space agency toward recognition of the coming calamity. Indecisiveness, congressional skepticism, safety regulations, and rigid union contracts whittle the time window for effective action. Returning from a covert trip to Russia after contacting entrepreneur Dan Barnmore and connecting with a Russian space company, Andrew is detained by two guards and pressed for information. When he is unexpectedly rescued, a whirlwind race for time begins as Andrew and his unlikely savior seek to inform the necessary powers of the asteroid's path before they can be stopped by the heavy hand of the government. A unique insight into what could happen if man responded to his duty, Atlas Rising portrays a world where, amid a stifled life, The contrast of hope shines even brighter. Discover the difference one man can make in W. C. Augustine's eye-opening novel, Atlas Rising.

Book excerpt: Ayn Rand's admirers comprise a Who's Who of innovative achievers, particularly in Silicon Valley.But isn't Ayn Rand merely an advocate of ruthless capitalist greed and screwing the poor? She is known as such among those mentally incapable of understanding what she wrote. Others know better.These others are the subject of this report. Many are wealthy, many are not. But they're all thinkers and achievers. And virtually all admit they would not be as capable and effective as they are without her ideas and inspiration.Those influenced by her Objectivist philosophy and related Libertarian activismare making history. They're making history with radical achievements in Legal Reforms, Education, Life Extension, Environmentalism, Space Travel and Development, Radical Problem-Solving Methodologies, Brain Science, Technology, Worldwide Access to Knowledge, Human Rights and Political Liberation. Even if you're already an admirer of Ayn Rand, as you read the stories of those who carry her ideas ever forward in life and work, chances are you won't see life's possibilities and opportunities quite the same ever again.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her latest book, Brené Brown writes, “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.” Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection. Over the past two decades, Brown’s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, to show us how accurately naming an experience doesn’t give the experience more power—it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice. Brown shares, “I want this book to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the fiction of novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand is extremely popular and enduring, little has been written on it so far. This book consists of essays, most of which are new, by top Rand scholars on Atlas Shrugged, her magnum opus. The essays deal with historical, literary, and philosophical topics, surpassing related writings in breadth and depth of analysis. The historical essays cover the writing of Atlas Shrugged, its publication history, and its reception. The literary essays cover analysis of the novel's plot, theme, and characterization; comparisons with other works, such as the novels of Hugo, Dostoevsky, and Joyce; and the proper approach to adapting Atlas Shrugged to film. The philosophical essays cover a vast range of topics, including the place of John Galt's speech in the novel, the role of the mind in human life, and the evil of non-objective law. Some of the essays make use of previously unpublished material from the Ayn Rand Archives. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! Social scientist Brené Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability—the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome—is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall. It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong. As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a range of people—from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships, teachers, and parents—shared their stories of being brave, falling, and getting back up. She asked herself, What do these people with strong and loving relationships, leaders nurturing creativity, artists pushing innovation, and clergy walking with people through faith and mystery have in common? The answer was clear: They recognize the power of emotion and they’re not afraid to lean in to discomfort. Walking into our stories of hurt can feel dangerous. But the process of regaining our footing in the midst of struggle is where our courage is tested and our values are forged. Our stories of struggle can be big ones, like the loss of a job or the end of a relationship, or smaller ones, like a conflict with a friend or colleague. Regardless of magnitude or circumstance, the rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our emotions and get curious about what we’re feeling; we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth; and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives. Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness. It’s the process, Brown writes, that teaches us the most about who we are. ONE OF GREATER GOOD’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR “[Brené Brown’s] research and work have given us a new vocabulary, a way to talk with each other about the ideas and feelings and fears we’ve all had but haven’t quite known how to articulate. . . . Brené empowers us each to be a little more courageous.”—The Huffington Post

Book excerpt: New angel George is assigned to work for angel Clarence in Heaven's Prayerless Souls Department, where they file the names of all those no one prays for. These are people that want nothing to do with God. Having been the beneficiary of angelic intervention in his own life, George wants to do the same for some of these souls. He picks a card at random from the files and asks, "Who's John Galt?" Atlas Shrugged and Jesus Wept is a rebuttal to Ayn Rand's classic novel, Atlas Shrugged. Curiously popular with many conservatives, Atlas Shrugged is, at its core, an anti-religion book. Atlas Shrugged and Jesus Wept defends the Judeo-Christian values that Rand criticized.
