Authentic: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work
What does authenticity at work actually mean? Writer and critic Jodi-Ann Burey argues that expectations to "come as you are" and "bring your full authentic self to work" are part of an ongoing cycle of trading on our identities when it's convenient and profitable. Part memoir and criticism, and using pop culture, personal storytelling and interviews, Burey draws insights from acclaimed television shows like The Good Place and Issa Rae's Insecure and conversations with family, friends, colleagues and strangers alike to examine what "authenticity" really means in the workplace. We travel with Burey to Florida where she interviews her parents about the myth of the American Dream; to a safari park in Malawi which starts her global health career; to an independent bookstore in Seattle where she disenchants a circle of women of the false hope of pay transparency laws; to the Guggenheim Museum in her hometown New York City where art inspires reflections on disability, visibility and pressures to disclose at work. "Authentic is not a comfort book. It is, rather, a reckoning" (The Guardian). Instead of hope, Burey offers readers a declaration to reimagine and redefine agency in their professional lives: "I am not a worker. I am a person at work."

Avenue of Spies: A True Story of Terror, Espionage, and One American Family's Heroic Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Paris: A True Story of Terror, Espionage, and One American Family's Heroic Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Paris
The best-selling author of The Liberator brings to life the incredible true story of an American doctor in Paris, and his heroic espionage efforts during World War II. The leafy Avenue Foch, one of the most exclusive residential streets in Nazi-occupied France, was Paris's hotbed of daring spies, murderous secret police, amoral informers, and Vichy collaborators. So when American physician Sumner Jackson, who lived with his wife and young son Phillip at Number 11, found himself drawn into the Liberation network of the French resistance, he knew the stakes were impossibly high. Just down the road at Number 31 was the "mad sadist" Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting French Jews to concentration camps. And Number 84 housed the Parisian headquarters of the Gestapo, run by the most effective spy hunter in Nazi Germany. From his office at the American Hospital, itself an epicenter of Allied and Axis intrigue, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter pilots safely out of France, a job complicated by the hospital director's close ties to collaborationist Vichy. After witnessing the brutal round-up of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited Liberation to officially operate out of his home at Number 11--but the noose soon began to tighten. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little chance of return. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source material and extensive interviews with Phillip Jackson, Alex Kershaw recreates the City of Light during its darkest days. The untold story of the Jackson family anchors the suspenseful narrative, and Kershaw dazzles readers with the vivid immediacy of the best spy thrillers. Awash with the tense atmosphere of World War II's Europe, Avenue of Spies introduces us to the brave doctor who risked everything to defy Hitler.

Awake: A Memoir: A Memoir
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, OPRAH DAILY, GOODREADS, KIRKUS REVIEWS, AND MORE A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "I can't imagine any woman reading this without feeling seen, inspired, and totally empowered." --Mel Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A MASTERPIECE, you guys. This memoir by the great Jen Hatmaker *cannot* be missed. I was riveted as if to a thriller and touched/moved/inspired in ways I can't quite articulate yet. Just please read. You'll thank me." --Elin Hilderbrand From Jen Hatmaker--beloved New York Times bestselling author and host of the For the Love podcast--a brutally honest, funny, and revealing memoir about the traumatic end of her twenty-six-year-long marriage, and the beginning of a different kind of love story. At 2:30 a.m. on July 11, 2020, Jen Hatmaker woke up to her husband of twenty-six years whispering into his phone to another woman from their bed. It was the end of life as she knew it. In the months that followed, she went from being a shiny, funny, popular leader to a divorced wreck on antidepressants and antianxiety meds, parenting five kids alone with no clue about the functioning of her own bank accounts. Having led millions of women for over a decade--urging them to embrace authenticity, find radical agency, and create healthy relationship--she felt like a catastrophic failure. In Awake, Jen shares for the first time what happened when she found herself completely lost at sea--and how she made it to shore. In candid, sur-prisingly funny vignettes spanning forty years of girlhood, marriage, and parenting, Jen lays bare the disorienting upheaval of midlife--the implosion of a marriage, the unraveling of religious and cultural systems, and the grief that accompanies change you didn't ask for. And, drawing on all resources--from without and within--Jen dares to question the systems beneath the whole house of cards, and to reckon with the myths, half-truths, and lies that brought her to this point. More than one woman's story, Awake is a critical analysis of the story given to all of us: the story of gender limitations, religious subservience, body shame, self-erasure. With refreshing candor, Jen explores a midlife renaissance--grieving what's lost, cherishing possibility, and entering the second half of life wide awake.
