No positional player from Japan had seen success in Major League Baseball until hitting star Ichiro Suzuki arrived in Seattle in 2001. He immediately won the American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards. During his career he set a record for most hits in a season, won numerous gold glove fielding awards and batting titles, and in 2016 became only the fourth player born outside of the United States to get to three thousand hits. His combined totals from Japan and the majors make Ichiro the most prolific hitter of all time.

Ichiro Suzuki has had a storied baseball career in Japan and the United States. Since signed to the major leagues in 2001, the right fielder has racked up batting records for the Yankees, Mariners, and Marlins. Through fascinating details about his personal and professional life, full-color photos, and direct quotations, baseball fans and report writers will be inspired by this biography of a top player driven by a strong work ethic and devotion to charity.

He has watched Mubarak and Morsi in Egypt arrested and condemned, reported from Jerusalem, been through the Lebanese war, covered the whole shooting match in Iraq, interviewed Libyan rebels who toppled Gaddafi, reported from Syria as Al-Qaeda stepped in, and was kidnapped in the Syrian cross currents of fighting. He goes into Afghanistan with the Taliban and to Iraq with ISIS.

Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best. Furiously happy is about "taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they're the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence." It's the difference between "surviving life" and "living life". This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways.
