Fuck
This is a book about the word fuck and its intersection with the law and the concept of taboo. In the first chapter, “Why Fuck?” I explain why I didn’t sanitize the title. I applaud my publisher and editors for supporting this decision. Because of this title, my book will likely be the target of many a giggle from middle schoolers. Some parents may shield their kids’ eyes. Those same youthful eyes could just as easily end up reading this book under the covers by flashlight—drawn to it by the very taboo that makes fuck a dirty word.

Breaking Murphy's Law: How Optimists Get What They Want from Life - and Pessimists Can Too
Pollyannas take heart, pessimists take note: Recent studies on achievement and well-being show that optimistic behavior contributes to better physical health, greater resilience in the face of life’s twists and turns, and more satisfying relationships. As psychologists Suzanne Segerstrom reveals, optimists lay groundwork for the success they envision. While the rest of us worry whether our goals are attainable, those who practice optimism try to achieve theirs. Breaking Murphy’s Law shows you simple ways to develop the skills that natural-born optimists use to get what they want from life.
'Fascinating, extraordinary, gripping' - Jeremy Paxman. The Storming of Berlin had been the Red Army's dream of vengeance ever since the German's invasion of Russia in the summer of 1941. Antony Beevor has reconstituted the experience of those millions caught up in the nightmare crescendo of the Third Reich's final defeat.
