Laughter follows in this second chance romance where pretend dating leads to secret relationships and a whole lot more. Lexi As a curvy American girl spending her senior year in Japan, the last thing Lexi expected was to find a guy. So, when Forrest Wolf, the drop-dead gorgeous American star of Japan’s baseball league, crossed the bar to meet her, you can excuse her skepticism. The man was used to thousands of people chanting his name every night. No, she immediately shut him cocky ass down… his incredibly tight, cocky ass… how long had it been since she had had sex, again? Why is it that after a girl gives in to a guy, and they have the most incredibly night of their lives, the guy could beg the girl for her number and then still not call? In Forrest’s case, it may have to do with him being traded to an American team days after they met? Maybe. So, when Lexi returns home and gets a dream job offer dependent on getting an interview with him, what is she to do? Could this be a second chance at love? Or will that get ruined when, after again staring at his cocky ass, things “get complicated” in a restaurant bathroom… and everyone hears them… and posts it on social media? Yikes! Forrest Wolf Forrest was the biggest thing in baseball… during college. In the majors, he partied his way into being a bust. But then he went to Japan, cleaned up his ways and became a star.

And, as sexy and charming as Bradley is, Forrest needs to keep a tight grip on his heart. Bradley Morrow Ley believes that the fastest way to make a billion dollars is to find someone with a great mind. And, the fastest way to lose a billion dollars is to find someone with a great body. Not only does his star player have the best body he has ever seen, but so does his sexy girlfriend Lexi… that is if she really is his girlfriend. Whatever is going on between those two, Ley knows that they are both off-limits. He’s Forrest’s boss, after all.

Why do smart and experienced leaders make flawed, even catastrophic, decisions? Why do people keep believing they have made the right choice, even with the disastrous result staring them in the face? And how can you be sure you're making the right decision--without the benefit of hindsight? Sydney Finkelstein, Jo Whitehead, and Andrew Campbell show how the usually beneficial processes of the human mind can become traps when we face big decisions. The authors show how the shortcuts our brains have learned to take over millennia of evolution can derail our decision making. Think Again offers a powerful model for making better decisions, describing the key red flags to watch for and detailing the decision-making safeguards we need. Using examples from business, politics, and history, Think Again deconstructs bad decisions, as they unfolded in real time, to show how you can avoid the same fate.

All the Best stories Start with a Bad Decision is an almost true tale of the adventures of a young man as he navigates life through the 1980s in a small college town in the Midwest. With a backdrop of Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll, a dash of idiocy, a teaspoon of lunacy, and a sprinkle of fun. The Chronicles of Burd (volume 1) is a series of stories that shine a light on the backside of punk rock history, as shown through the eyes of a "middle of the country blue-collar kid" and the chaotic, march of that music into mainstream America. These stories are a microcosm of American Youth in the 1980s that are every bit as funny and dramatic as those told by past generations of kids who accidentally change the Country around them as they navigate through the last tattered vestiges of their youth. Step back through time and experience life through the eyes of a rabble-rousing rock and roll rebel and his bohemian tribe of misfit friends.

Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

What are you really missing out on? You're home on a Friday night, scrolling through Instagram, ready to go to bed. You see pictures on your timeline of a party you were invited to, but didn't go to. You were confident when you said no, but now you can't stop thinking about it, and you start feeling worse. You have FOMO, or, Fear of Missing Out. Coined in a Harvard Business School article, FOMO has become a global term to describe the decimating anxiety when thinking other people are having better, more fulfilling, experiences than you are. It's a natural, biological response, but that doesn't make it feel any better. Amplified by the rise of social media, #FOMO has become a cultural crisis—so what's the cure? Patrick McGinnis, creator of the term FOMO, has been thinking about it for seventeen years—and he has a solution: decision-making. Learning to weigh the costs and benefits of your choices, prioritizing your decisions, and listening to your gut are central to silencing FOMO and its lesser-known cousin, FOBO: Fear of a Better Option. After all, don't you want to feel comfortable and confident in your decisions? Written with self-evaluations throughout the book, Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice helps you ascertain and eliminate the parts of your life that are causing more anxiety than happiness. So give this a read, and then go to that party, start that new book, create a new goal—or don't. Make that decision, and be confident in it: it's the first of many of its kind.
