Button pusher

"Tyler's brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a hard time paying attention in class. He acts out in goofy, over-the-top ways. Sometimes, he even does dangerous things--like cut up a bus seat with a pocketknife or hang out of an attic window. To the adults in his life, Tyler seems like a troublemaker. But he knows that he's not. Tyler is curious and creative. He's the best artist in his grade, and when he can focus, he gets great grades. He doesn't want to cause trouble, but sometimes he just feels like he can't control himself"--Provided by publisher.

Don't burn this book

thinking for yourself in an age of unreason
2020
"This book is both an explanation of the current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it. This book will inspire you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue, and show you how to: check your facts, not your privilege; no matter your gender, economic class, or level of education, you're still allowed to have opinions. [The author] provides a roadmap for true classically liberal principles regardless of your party affiliation, and shows you why freedom is impossible without them. [This book] empowers you with time-tested and common-sense principles that can turn the tide against authoritarians on both sides in this increasingly polarized world. This book is a rallying cry for anyone who wants to live freely, which is quickly becoming the most radical belief you could have"--Provided by publisher.

Untamed

". . . Four years ago, Glennon Doyle . . . was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. Glennon looked at her and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is.

Glennon was finally hearing her own voice--the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl Glennon had been before the world told her who to be. She vowed to never again abandon herself. She decided to build a life of her own--one based on her individual desire, intuition, and imagination. She would reclaim her true, untamed self . . . 'Untamed' is both a memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call"--Provided by publisher.
