We live in a world that is always on, where everyone is always connected. But we feel increasingly disconnected. Why? The answer lies in our brains. Carl D. Marci, MD, a leading expert on social and consumer neuroscience, reviews the mounting evidence that overuse of smart phones and social media is rewiring our brains, resulting in a losing deal: we are neglecting the relationships that sustain us and keep us healthy in favor of weaker and more ephemeral ties. The ability to connect and form strong social bonds is fundamental to human experience and emerged through unique structures in our brains.

A timely guide to reconnecting with the outdoors, with new science on why nature makes us healthier and happier in body and soul. For centuries, we have known that nature is good for us. But in an era when climate change is accelerating and we spend 87 percent of our days indoors, it is clear that we are out of sync with the earth that nourishes us. In response, writer and environmentalist Emma Loewe blends new research and ancient knowledge on nature's healing properties into a book divided into eight landscapes, with wisdom on how to explore and protect each one in return. Drawing off modern science, she uncovers why living by the ocean makes you measurably happier, why living near greenery helps you lives longer, and why forests can make us more relaxed within 90 seconds of walking among trees.

Part searing examination, part call to arms - a bold case against modern sexual ethics, from young Washington Post columnist Christine Emba. For years now, modern-day sexual ethics has held that "anything goes" when it comes to sex - as long as everyone says yes, and does so enthusiastically. So why, even when consent has been ascertained, are so many of our sexual experiences filled with frustration, and disappointment, even shame? The truth is that the rules that make up today's consent-only sexual code may actually be the cause of our sexual malaise - not the solution.

Governor Charlie Baker, one of the most popular governors in the United States, with a reputation for getting things done, wants to put the service back into public service: "Wedge issues may be great for making headlines," he writes, "but they do not move us forward. Success is measured by what we accomplish together. Our obligation to the people we serve is too important to place politics and partisanship before progress and results." For the governor and his longtime associate Steve Kadish, these words are much more than political platitudes. They are at the heart of a method for delivering results—and getting past politics—the two developed while working together in top leadership positions in the public and private sectors.

From the acclaimed authors, radical ideas for restoring prosperity in today's intangible economy. The past two decades have witnessed sluggish economic growth, mounting inequality, dysfunctional competition, and a host of other ills that have left people wondering what has happened to the future they were promised. Restarting the Future reveals how these problems arise from a failure to develop the institutions demanded by an economy now reliant on intangible capital such as ideas, relationships, brands, and knowledge. In this groundbreaking and provocative book, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue that the great economic disappointment of the century is the result of an incomplete transition from an economy based on physical capital, and show how the vital institutions that underpin our economy remain geared to an outmoded way of doing business.
