In He's Just Not Your Type (And That's a Good Thing), a relationship expert and dating columnist shares her counterintuitive approach to lasting love: encouraging women to date their "non-types." After years of dating, many women fall into a relationship rut. As serial daters, they are attracted to the same type of man time and again. Clearly, something's not working. But the problem is not that he's just not that into them—the reality is, he's just not their type. Relationship expert and life coach Andrea Syrtash hears the disbelief in her clients' voices when they admit that their "Mr. Right" relationship has again gone wrong. In He's Just Not Your Type, Syrtash challenges readers to date outside their comfort zones and poses hard-hitting questions: What if the kind of man they think will make them happy never will? What would happen if they dated someone they'd never considered dating? In each chapter, Syrtash shares stories of women who have found lasting happiness with their non-types (NTs) and provides exercises designed to help readers assess their big-picture goals and core values. In doing so, she shows women how to make better choices in dating so they are more likely to find true love.

"A beautiful story about healing through trauma, and finding love again (both within yourself and another) after a toxic relationship." -Melissa Karibian, author of A Song of Silver and Gold. This can't work out. It won't end well. But what if it does? When Ava meets Parker in an LGBT therapy group, she's hesitant to get close to someone new. Ava's traumatic past with relationships, and her inability to fully embrace her asexuality has made it hard for her to connect with anyone. But when she starts seeing Parker everywhere, she finds it hard to ignore how familiar Parker is, and how at peace Parker's presence in her life makes her feel. Parker is less than a year out of a toxic relationship when she starts seeing Ava all over town. At the gym where she works, at the coffee shop she frequents, and then at the LGBT therapy group she decides to attend on a whim. She takes this as a sign from the universe, but is shocked to find that Ava doesn't believe in fate, and none of the charm and charisma that has worked before will quite cut it this time. As the two grow closer, they both have to decide if holding onto the things their exes taught them are also holding them back from their future. Content warnings: Discussions of trauma Discussions of domestic violence Alcoholism Representation: Own voices Asexual main character Lesbian Bisexual side character "This book was so amazing! The characters are realistically flawed, as well is their journey through trauma healing, which really hit." -Goodreads Review "This book definitely grew on me; it's well written; the characters have depth and painful pasts and while watching them struggle to work through things was a little heartbreaking at times, and I will admit I teared up a bit at one point. Overall it was a really cute story." -Goodreads Review "A beautiful romance novel about love, sexuality and healing trauma... I couldn't stop highlighting this book, every other line was funny, relatable, sad. It made it all feel so real like I was with them." -Goodreads Review "I particularly loved the asexual representation in this book. It's still so rare to see and it has been written so well - asexuality is a spectrum and I love how that is explored here." -Goodreads Review "This book has such a cute romance, but ah this made my heart ache in many ways." -Goodreads Review

The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR AMELIA KINGSTON Book four in the So Far, So Good series An endearingly irreverent love story. To Jackie Ryan, insults are foreplay and love is war. What the feisty redhead lacks in stature, she makes up in attitude. She's made more than one grown man cry and she's damn proud of it. Little does the rowdy barista know she's about to meet her match in the shape of a walking, talking pair of starched khakis. When unassuming Eddie Jaworski stumbles into a quirky coffee shop, he isn't expecting a battle of wits with the maniac behind the counter. Still, he can't help be intrigued by the endearingly irreverent human enigma. She's brash, but considerate. Closed off to most, but fiercely loyal to a few. Everything is a joke, except those things that are sacred. Jackie doesn't trust easily and if he wants to get close, he's going to have to work for every inch. Good thing he's up for the challenge. But Eddie has a secret—one he didn't mean to keep—that's going to tug at the delicate strings weaving the pair together. When everything begins to unravel, Jackie must decide just what she's willing to risk for love.
