Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.
One of the most dynamic entertainment forces of our time shares his life story in a brave and inspiring memoir that explores the alignment of outer success, inner happiness, and human connection. Will Smith recounts his incredible journey from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to a celebrated rap star and one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars, achieving a string of unparalleled box office successes. This epic tale of transformation is compellingly told, but it represents only part of his journey. Despite his remarkable achievements and a family that seemed to share in his success, Will discovers that they felt more like performers in his circus than equal partners in his life. This realization marks the beginning of a deeper education for him. The memoir reflects a profound journey of self-discovery, revealing the balance between ambition and personal relationships. Co-written with Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, it illustrates how Will mastered his emotions and offers insights that can resonate with everyone. While few experience the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages, the lessons learned about adapting one's fuel for different phases of life are universal. The blend of genuine wisdom and an astonishing life story makes this memoir a unique and entertaining read.
Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focussed and calm in a constantly busy world. This quality, valued by every major school of thought from Buddha to Seneca, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, is urgently necessary today. And, Holiday shows, it is entirely attainable. Just as Winston Churchill used bricklaying as a time to recharge and reflect, or Oprah Winfrey learned deep empathy from her quiet childhood, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether winning a battle, building a business, or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction. Filled with wisdom and examples from historical and contemporary figures, this book shows how to cultivate this quality in your own life. Because stillness is not merely inactivity, but the doorway to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger reveals that true happiness lies not in constant positivity but in effectively handling adversity. For years, we’ve been told that positive thinking is essential for a fulfilling life, but that notion is shifting. Manson boldly states, "Fuck positivity," acknowledging that life can be challenging and we must learn to accept that reality. Through his popular blog, he has aimed to correct our unrealistic expectations of ourselves and the world.

Manson emphasizes that humans are inherently flawed and limited, noting that not everyone can be extraordinary and that societal outcomes can be unfair. He encourages us to recognize and accept our limitations, which he believes is the true source of empowerment. By confronting our fears and uncertainties instead of avoiding them, we can cultivate the courage and confidence we seek. Manson reminds us that we have a limited number of "fucks" to give, so we must choose wisely. This manifesto delivers a refreshing dose of real talk, filled with engaging stories and humor, guiding us toward more contented and grounded lives.
