"I should probably mention something right now before this story goes any further: my name is Theodora Grumman, and I am a liar." It's hard for Thea to write four truths a day in the notebook her mother gave her for the summer. Especially when her grandparents' house on the Jersey Shore is even more packed with family than usual, and her cousin Jocelyn wont leave her alone. Jocelyn just might be the world's neatest and nosiest seven-year-old, and she wants to know what's in Thea's notebook. But Thea won't tell anyone about the secret she has promised to keep--or how she lost her best friend (Truth #12), whose name was Gwen. Now Thea has to babysit in the afternoons, and all Jocelyn wants to do is spy on people. Neither of them expect to see Aunt Ellen and Aunt Celia at the boardwalk in the middle of the day, or for their aunts to lie and insist they were at work. Could it be Thea's not the only one in the family keeping secrets this summer?

READERS’ REVIEWS “This is a tremendously useful book. If you apply the book sincerely, your outlook and understanding of what is happening in your life (especially the portions where you are struggling) will change. A deep book [...] based on principles rather than simple prescriptions. The writing is simple and direct rather than flowery. It is clear that the author has implemented what he says in his own life. There are quick and effective action points at the end of most chapters. Some of the individual chapters are themselves worth the price of the book. If you are the sort of person who likes something both practical and thoughtful, do buy and read this book.” – Balaji Srinivasan (not Balajis) “I am amazed at Luca Dellanna’s ability to observe, compile, and articulate 99 very actionable life principles here. Each chapter describes the rule in a way that makes you think and then summarizes the Action. It’s filled with DEEP insights yet VERY readable.” – Theresia Tanzil Absolutely brilliant. You might have grasped some of these concepts before but having them structured and in writing makes all the difference [...] I will surely recommend it to friends and co-workers. – Alberto Pisanello A very thoughtful piece of writing, deep and wiring!” – David Krejca “Luca Dellanna’s new book “100 Truths” is super tight! [...] Practical, directional advice.” – Hari Meyyappan “100 Truths has been a game changer.” – Adam English “A thoughtfully written book in very straightforward language.” – A.L. Peevey “Excellent book with formulas to increase the chances of achieving what we want to be in life. Luca writes directly and leads the reader into Action.” – Edgar 100 MENTAL MODELS TO EASE YOUR WAY THROUGH LIFE I wasted years of my life because I did not know its rules. I did not know the rules of relationships, careers, health, or happiness. Then, through hard work, talking with mentors, and trial & error, I uncovered some of them. Now, I lay these rules out for you. In this book, you will find 100 of the lessons I learned. It will still require some work from your side to internalize them and put them into practice, but at least it will make the process easier for you by letting you avoid committing the same mistakes as I did. THE TITLES OF SOME OF THE CHAPTERS INSIDE INCLUDE: - Problems grow the size needed for you to acknowledge them. - Taking a course of Action makes it easier to take it again, for better or for worse. - Other people’s expectations aren’t your problem. - Hating those who despise what you want will prevent you from obtaining it. - Discipline is freedom. - Extraordinary people are extraordinarily selective. - Successful people, at some point in their life, committed to the hard choice. - Self-respect is the compass for change that matters. - The standards you have today determine the life you will have in a few years. - People are extremely good at succeeding at their priorities and extremely dishonest about them. - Your problems aren’t different. - Listening is about not projecting your own worldviews.

How do you get away with the murder of 11 million people? The answer is simple—and disturbing. You lie to them. Learn how you can become an informed, passionate citizen who demands honesty and integrity from your leaders. In this nonpartisan New York Times bestselling book, Andy Andrews emphasizes that seeking and discerning the truth is of critical importance, and that believing lies is the most dangerous thing you can do. You’ll be challenged to become a more careful student of the past, seeking accurate, factual accounts of events that illuminate choices our world faces now. By considering how the Nazi German regime was able to carry out over eleven million institutional killings between 1933 and 1945, Andrews advocates for an informed population that demands honesty and integrity from its leaders and from each other. This short, thought-provoking book poses questions like: What happens to a society in which truth is absent? How are we supposed to tell the difference between the “good guys" and the “bad guys”? How does the answer to this question affect our country, families, faith, and values? Does it matter that millions of ordinary citizens aren't participating in the decisions that shape the future of our country? Which is more dangerous: politicians with ill intent, or the too-trusting population that allows such people to lead them? This is a wake-up call: we must become informed, passionate citizens or suffer the consequences of our own ignorance and apathy. We can no longer measure a leader’s worth by the yardsticks provided by the left or the right. Instead, we must use an unchanging standard: the pure, unvarnished truth.

“Like Richard Russo’s Straight Man this book has a lot to say about the humanities in American colleges and universities…. Very funny and also moving.” —Tom Perrotta, New York Post A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR and Boston Globe Finally a novel that puts the "pissed" back into "epistolary." Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing and literature at Payne University, a small and not very distinguished liberal arts college in the midwest. His department is facing draconian cuts and squalid quarters, while one floor above them the Economics Department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His once-promising writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life, in part as the result of his unwise use of his private affairs for his novels. His star (he thinks) student can't catch a break with his brilliant (he thinks) work Accountant in a Bordello, based on Melville's Bartleby. In short, his life is a tale of woe, and the vehicle this droll and inventive novel uses to tell that tale is a series of hilarious letters of recommendation that Fitger is endlessly called upon by his students and colleagues to produce, each one of which is a small masterpiece of high dudgeon, low spirits, and passive-aggressive strategies. We recommend Dear Committee Members to you in the strongest possible terms. Don’t miss Julie Schumacher's new novel, The English Experience, coming soon.
