Perhaps best known as the snarky narrator and co-founder of the viral YouTube channel CinemaSins, Jeremy Scott cracked the code of turning a passion for film and sarcasm into a full-time job.
Original Sin: From Preacher's Kid to the Creation of CinemaSins is Jeremy's compelling story of family, career, and deep love for movies that launched him into internet stardom. In his trademark, unapologetic voice, Jeremy gives an irreverent and honest take on the wild ride to creating a YouTube sensation. This memoir-with-a-twist sprinkles readers with his personal advice on the combination of dumb luck, know-how, and je-nais-se-quois it takes to be successful on Youtube while hilariously relaying how two friends stumbled into fame.
With anecdotes of laugh-out-loud misadventures and insightful, actionable advice for aspiring YouTubers, Original Sin is the ultimate behind-the-scenes look into the inception of an internet sensation. But more than that, it's one man's love letter to humankind's greatest escape, a pastime that allows us to dream and dwell on beauty, art, and truth. Original Sin is Jeremy Scott's ode to cinema and how often life can imitate the movies.

From the New York Times bestselling author of I'm Judging You, a hilarious and transformational book about how to tackle fear--that everlasting hater--and audaciously step into lives, careers, and legacies that go beyond even our wildest dreams
Luvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, she's not alone.
We're all afraid. We're afraid of asking for what we want because we're afraid of hearing "no." We're afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. We're afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly, meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free.
With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle.
The point is not to be fearless, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let's go!

Retired Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author Jason
Redman divulges how to triumph over adversity using proven Special
Operations habits and mindsets. Adversity can often catch you by
surprise and leave you struggling with what to do next. What if you
could confront any adversity, from the biggest challenges -- the
loss of your job, divorce, health issues, bankruptcy -- to normal
daily challenges -- a late flight, a disappointing phone call, a
missed promotion, a bad day -- and not just survive it, but thrive
afterwards? Redman was horrifically wounded in Iraq in 2007 when he
was shot at close range through the face and arm. After 40
surgeries, including extensive facial reconstruction and skin
grafts, he came back from this experience stronger than ever --
despite carrying scars and injuries he will have for the rest of
his life. Redman went on to launch two successful companies and
speaks all over the country on how to build better leaders through
his Overcome mindset. Overcome is based on extensive research and
interviews with America's toughest warriors, including retired
4-star Admiral William McRaven, retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink,
retired 4-star General Stanley McChrystal, and others. In this
book, Redman teaches: *How to survive any life ambush *How to move
from defense to offense using the proactive techniques of SEAL
teams *How to strengthen your endurance during long-term trials
*How to rediscover and thrive in your life purpose *How to lead
your team (whether in business or family) to success *How to
compete with the top 1% in your field *How to stay the course even
when you want to quit *And more Some people move through adversity
and others fall underneath it. Learn how you can be counted among
those who will Overcome.

He Said/She Said ******** What are you doing to help yourself? What
are you doing to show that you're worth the resources? In a
near-future world, medical technology has progressed far enough
that immortality is now within grasp -but only to those who show
themselves to be deserving of it. These people are the lifers: the
exercisers, yogacisers, green juicers and early nighters.
Genetically perfect, healthy and wholesome, one hundred-year-old
Lea is the poster girl for lifers, until the day she catches a
glimpse of her father in the street, eighty-eight years after their
last encounter. While pursuing him, Lea has a brush with death
which sparks suspicions. If Lea could be so careless, is she worthy
of immortality? Suicide Club wasn't always an activist group. It
began as a set of disillusioned lifers, gathering to indulge in
forbidden activities: performances of live music, artery-clogging
meals, irresponsible orgies. But now they have been branded
terrorists and are hunted by the state. And Lea has decided to give
them a call. 'Chilling . . . Through crisscrossing stories about
love and loss, suffused in some wonderful and heartbreaking prose,
