The world's greatest pickup artist is back! After the bestselling expose The Game pulled back the curtain on Mystery and his culture of professional pickup artists, he became an international phenomenon. Unfortunately, while it's no secret that Mystery's ideas are wildly effective, women have started to catch on. They've seen the show and heard the routines - so now it's time for the next level of game! With techniques honed over fifteen years of trial, error, and ultimate triumph, and following his hit VH1 reality series, the celebrated sensei is back with his latest living-large exploits and a new and improved playbook for the twenty-first-century playboy. As the book begins, Mystery and his crew have withdrawn to their swank Miami mansion to plot their next move.

John Dustin Kemper

This book is mostly about a 12-year old boy who wishes he had been born an Indian, and follows the development of some of his thoughts, especially his attitude toward nature. A major theme is that he wants to become a "True Mountain Man," without having any clear idea concerning exactly what that is, or how to do it. Along the way, he gets mixed up with complications such as Indians, Tarzan, girls, werewolves, and death. The book ends with some of the experiences the 12-year old boy has after he has grown to become a young man, and is a Park Ranger at Sequoia National Park. He wonders whether this means he has finally become a True Mountain Man, but is still unsure of his qualifications. Between each chapter there is a short section titled "Reflections," from the perspective of many years later. These reflective chapters are: "Wilderness," "A Set of Values," "The Noble Savage," "Nature Revisited," and "Our Public Lands."

Travis Bradberry, Jean Greaves

In today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and turbulent economic conditions, each of us is searching for effective tools that can help us to manage, adapt, and strike out ahead of the pack. By now, emotional intelligence (EQ) needs little introduction - it's no secret that EQ is critical to your success.

Jonathan Haidt

Every culture rests on a bedrock of folk wisdom handed down through generations. The pronouncements of philosophers are homespun by our grandmothers, and find their way into our common sense: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Happiness comes from within. But are these "truths" really true? Today we all seem to prefer to cling to the notion that a little bit more money, love or success will make us truly happy. Are we wrong? In "The Happiness Hypothesis", psychologist Jonathan Haidt exposes traditional wisdom to the scrutiny of modern science, delivering startling insights. We learn that virtue is often not its own reward, why extroverts really are happier than introverts, and why conscious thought is not as important as we might like to think...Drawing on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science, "The Happiness Hypothesis" is a remarkable, original and provocative book - ancient wisdom in our time.
