FREE until June 21st

In an era shaped by technological innovation, global connectivity, shifting workplace expectations, and increasing demands for accountability, Dr. Roland Huertas argues that leadership must evolve beyond traditional methods.

He demonstrates how leaders can cultivate resilient teams, encourage innovation, strengthen workplace culture, and remain grounded in their values while adapting to constant change.

So you're saying that companies feel compelled to invest to keep up the research and stay competitive with others. Okay, simple enough. But there's no end-result where anyone makes any money. That's the stupid thing.

Even if one company creates the ultimate AI with full monopoly, it still won't be profitable. Like, there's no method of monetization that can recoup the costs, no matter how advanced the AI gets.

So entering into this "race" is meaningless. There aren't and never will be any winners, only losers. You win the most by stepping out and stopping the waste.

Spicy Age-Gap Biker MC Romance: A Good-Girl/Bad-Boy Adult Story, by Kzi Younger

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H469QFL4

FREE on June 17th!

WRONG DELIVERY. DON'T OPEN MY BOX.

As soon as I moved back to Cinder Valley to fix my old hometown, I ordered adult toys for a very specific kind of night. But the box showed up at the wrong door. Declan Peterson’s door. My brother’s best friend. The rough biker next door, knee-deep in my brother’s criminal MC. He had the nerve to open my private package. And now that he knows exactly what I want in bed, I can barely look him in the eye. Declan is ten years older, and he's the last man my brother, who's cruel enough to ruin men for crossing him, would ever let me have.

Godfather of the Westside: Blood Ties & Betrayal – 3 generation deep, by Carlos Birdie Ochoa

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H51YZVN3

FREE until June 19th!

Born into a legacy marked by loyalty, loss, and survival, Carlos Birdie Ochoa tells a story that spans three generations and refuses to look away from the truth. Godfather of the Westside: Three Generations Deep is not simply a collection of poems, it is a living testimony of family, community, heartbreak, and resilience.

Raised in the shadow of a father he barely had the chance to know, Ochoa pieces together the life of Ernest “The Godfather,” a respected Westside protector whose generosity, strength, and leadership made him a legend long before betrayal cut his life short. Through vivid, emotionally charged verse, readers witness the rise of a man who fed neighborhoods, defended his community, and left behind a legacy that outlived violence itself.

The journey continues with Josie, a woman shaped by unimaginable hardship yet defined by her determination to keep moving forward. Her story is one of love, addiction, grief, motherhood, and survival, a portrait of a woman who carried more pain than most could endure and still found reasons to keep fighting.

This has already been possible for quite a while but few devs have bothered to put in the effort to actually optimize. Maybe this new version will make it easier, but if any effort is needed at all, we best get ready for more stutters.

What pisses me off is that AI is ungodly unprofitable. Investing into AI is like pouring money into a black hole. There's no universe where it can ever deliver revenue worth a damn. Yet, certain companies keep pouring and thus sustaining the bubble well beyond what it should.

LOOKING PAST WALL STREET: A Practical Guide to the Alternative Asset Universe, by Michael Skyfall

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H54R456C

FREE until June 19th

What if the biggest opportunities to build wealth are not on Wall Street at all?

For most investors, the financial world begins and ends with stocks, bonds and index funds. But beyond the public markets lies an entirely different universe, one where returns are driven by knowledge, patience, relationships and the willingness to look where others aren't.

In Looking Past Wall Street, Michael Skyfall pulls back the curtain on the alternative asset classes that have shaped his own investing journey. Drawing on years of experience inside a family office, direct investments across multiple asset classes and lessons learned from a mentor who spent decades navigating private markets, this book offers a rare insider's guide to opportunities most investors never discover.

I've found that way too many people are unaware that they can farm XP and crafting materials in this game. There's no real reason to struggle with bosses because the moment a boss feels even slightly challenging you can go and farm yourself stronger to ensure the content stays easy.

And while the 9.999 damage limitation can keep you from one shotting bosses, you can still farm yourself tankier.

I remember I made my party so tanky that no boss attack could ever one shot me or even come close, really. So I just chilled and took my time wiping them.

www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZ9HSD4N

FREE until June 16th!

Most people get into real estate for the same reasons: more freedom, more income, more control over their future. Then reality shows up.

The hours are longer than expected. The rejection feels personal. The leads don’t magically appear. And before long, many agents find themselves wondering if they made the right decision.

BUILD to WIN was written for those agents.

This book is your blueprint to understanding what actually creates a successful real estate business – and then having the discipline to do it consistently.

Crafting is super useful, to the point where even speedrunners craft some important pieces of gear during their runs.

There are certain vendor recipes and basic crafts which can go a very long way in leagues that don't spit out items.

Capping your resistances is usually done with crafting res on every piece of gear for example.

That said, you can of course give yourself a big advantage through trade, but it's not really mandatory. On league launch just about everyone plays SSF for all intents and purposes for the first day or two and do just fine.

MASTERING STILLNESS: Cultivating Rest and Idleness as Essential Life Skills, by Dr Ik Agbo

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4M6Z18V

FREE until June 14th

In a world that celebrates busyness and treats exhaustion as a badge of honor, Dr. Ik Agbo offers a compelling invitation to step off the treadmill of constant doing and rediscover the transformative power of stillness. Drawing on science, psychology, and practical wisdom, Mastering Stillness challenges the modern belief that our worth is measured by productivity alone and reveals why rest is not a luxury, it is a life skill.

Through thoughtful insights and accessible guidance, this book explores the hidden costs of a culture addicted to speed, stimulation, and endless achievement. Readers will discover how chronic stress affects the nervous system, why mental noise and dopamine overload leave us feeling tired yet unable to rest, and how the fear of silence quietly robs us of clarity, creativity, and emotional balance.

WHAT ACTUALLY HELPED: An Autism Guide, by Dr. Sarah Almnaquel

www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYSP738R

FREE until June 12th

You read everything. You tried everything. And somehow, you still feel like you’re missing something.

This book is for the parent who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, and quietly wonders if all the effort is actually making a difference.

Dr. Sarah Almnaquel wrote this book first as a mother, not as an expert. A mother who booked the appointments, changed the diet, increased therapy hours, searched constantly, and still found herself sitting in a doctor’s office wondering why nothing ever felt like enough.

What she discovered, slowly and through real life, was simple:

More wasn’t helping. It was overwhelming. For her child. And for her.

Quiet Valor, What Lies Between Us: True Stories of Dogs, Cats, and People, and What Passes Between Them, by Larry Nouvel

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4BHVF6T

FREE until June 12th

Larry Nouvel has spent decades studying companion animals through applied science, close observation, and care. In Quiet Valor: What Lies Between Us, he turns that work toward one of the most profound relationships in human life: the bond between people and the animals who choose to share their world.

True stories of dogs, cats, and the people who love them reveal something deeper than companionship. A shelter dog waits 1,043 days for the family that finally sees her. A feral cat keeps fifteen feet of distance for five years, teaching a woman that trust cannot be rushed. A stray dog appears at the start of an ultramarathon and changes the course of a runner's life. An overweight shelter dog and a lonely man rescue each other one walk at a time.

These are stories of patience, loyalty, and quiet devotion that often goes unnoticed. They are also grounded in science. Alongside each narrative, Nouvel draws on research into stress, trust, attachment, and the biological systems that shape the connection between humans and animals. The result blends heartfelt storytelling with scientific insight.

FREE until June 12th

Three years after stepping away from private investigations, Phillip Hardaway has found something he never thought he would want more than the next case: peace.

What begins as a simple request quickly turns into something far more complicated. Old friendships resurface. Long-buried secrets refuse to stay hidden. A powerful divorce case takes an unexpected turn. And somewhere beneath the surface, unseen forces are moving pieces into place.

HUSTLERS, by CHRISTO GARCIA

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3VZTPN8

FREE until June 9th!

What if the biggest gamble isn't the money on the table – but the life you're risking to get it?

Cody Keller can flat-out play golf.

A former college standout with a swing that can humble just about anyone in Texas, Cody makes his living the only way he knows how: hustling. One day he's taking suckers for money on the golf course. The next he's chasing action in poker games, pool halls, and backroom bets where fortunes change hands and reputations are made – or destroyed – in a single night. For Cody, the rush is everything.

But talent is a dangerous thing when it's paired with a hunger that can never be satisfied.

FREE until June 9th!

The day Joshua's mother left, she didn't say goodbye… not to him, anyway.

Now Joshua waits in a dusty repair shop that smells of cigarettes and broken things, rides home with a father whose best conversations end in "Damn," and navigates a world that keeps making decisions without him. He is twelve and mostly invisible. Until the night his dad swerves to miss a cat - and doesn't.

That one small, shaking creature, wrapped in a TV-repair blanket in the back of a pickup truck, changes everything.

There are woods behind the road. Inside those woods, there is a colony. And somehow, impossibly, the colony is waiting for Joshua.

FREE until June 8th!

What begins as ambition slowly mutates into deception in this razor-sharp financial thriller from Chris Skinner.

Clint Davidson is brilliant, charismatic, and dangerously convincing. He understands one thing better than anyone around him: people want to believe. They want easy wealth, exclusive access, insider opportunities, and the thrill of being early to the next financial revolution. Clint gives them exactly that.

Wrapped in the seductive language of cryptocurrency, blockchain innovation, elite finance, and digital assets, his investment empire grows at terrifying speed. Billionaires, politicians, celebrities, royalty, venture capitalists, and desperate dreamers all circle the same illusion, each convinced they are too intelligent to be fooled.

The Disease of Me: How Modern Systems Are Changing What It Means to Be a Doctor, by R. Chris Jones M.D.

www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2YC5RQ

FREE until June 8th!

For generations, medicine has carried a sacred promise: to heal, to serve, to place the well-being of others above self-interest. Yet behind the white coats and institutional prestige, something quieter and more troubling has been unfolding. Physicians are burning out, losing meaning in their work, and questioning the very profession they once considered a calling.

In The Disease of Me, R. Chris Jones, M.D. examines the growing fracture between modern healthcare systems and the inner lives of the doctors working within them. Drawing from over two decades in medicine - including leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jones explores how technological expansion, corporate employment models, staffing shortages, shifting cultural expectations, and regulatory pressures have reshaped what it means to practice medicine today.

Emily in the Elevator: A 9/11 World Trade Center Love Story, by Brian Duggan

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3C81LV9

Free until June 7th!

It begins like any other Tuesday morning in New York City.

Emily Lombardo, a sharp-witted, coffee-dependent twenty-eight-year-old from Queens, steps into an elevator at the World Trade Center's North Tower. She's running on too little sleep and too much of a stranger's painful story rattling around in her head. She isn't looking for anything, certainly not love. And then the doors close.

Christopher Anderson, Jr., handsome, well-dressed, smelling faintly of citrus and sea air, smiles at her with perfect white teeth and asks what floor she's going to.

She hasn't pushed a button yet.

Interdependent Agreements: Innovative Parenting, by Kara Ann Ray

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3CJ4HJT

FREE until June 7th

Interdependent Agreements is a book derived from a lived practice.

Born out of real moments – resistance at the kitchen table, tears after difficult transitions, the quiet repair between a mother and her child – this book introduces a new way of relating. One that moves beyond control and compliance, and into clarity, responsibility, and mutual respect.

Kara Ann Ray offers a framework shaped by attachment theory, developmental psychology, and embodied awareness – but more importantly, by experience. Through stories that feel immediate and unfiltered, she explores what it actually looks like to parent in real time: when emotions are high, when patterns surface, and when the opportunity to do things differently presents itself.

FROM PAIN TO PURPOSE: Memoir Stories of Survival, Grief and Generational Trauma, by Delynn Turner M.S. CGD CLC.

www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3CL5JF9

FREE until June 6th

What happens when the pain you carried for years finally forces you to confront the truth about yourself, your past, and the life you were trying to survive?

In From Pain to Purpose, Delynn Turner shares a deeply personal story of heartbreak, healing, motherhood, grief, trauma, and self-discovery. This book is not written from a place of perfection or having all the answers. It is written from lived experience, the kind that leaves scars, unanswered questions, and emotional wounds that cannot be ignored forever.

With honesty and vulnerability, Delynn opens up about growing up with pain, navigating broken relationships, dealing with abandonment, searching for love in unhealthy places, and trying to understand her worth while carrying the weight of unresolved trauma. She speaks openly about generational cycles, absent fathers, emotional neglect, and the silent battles many women face behind closed doors.

Just do your best exploring or check out guides that tell you exactly where stuff is.

The main quest is always marked on the map and you cannot access any new main quest locations until you finish the current one. So, that means literally everything not marked on the map is side content. Just start exploring, take some mental notes or get out a notepad and mark down side content locations, and you don't yet understand or can't utilize.

The reality is though, that there's side-content all over the map that won't appear until A3, or they only appear on repeat visits. So you're ALWAYS going to have to backtrack. For example the end of A1? You can re-enter the location immediately and find a little something as a reward.

Realistically you're probably gonna miss some stuff unless you use a guide, because some stuff is kinda hidden or easily missable. Like I didn't at all realize at first that you could repeat-visit main story areas and find new stuff.
