One Thursday in June of 1904, a middle-aged advertising canvasser named Leopold Bloom walked around Dublin. He bought a kidney for breakfast, fed the cat, attended a funeral, ate a cheese sandwich, dodged a man he did not wish to meet, and came home in the small hours to a wife who had not, that particular afternoon, been entirely faithful. Almost nothing happened. James Joyce spent seven years and seven hundred pages on it, and called the result his damned monster-novel. Why would anyone do that?

In Choose the Handle That Holds, Becky Schmooke dismantles the myths that make leadership seem out of reach. Through her own candid stories, humor, and lessons from professional athletes, military leaders, media executives, and more, Schmooke proves that leadership isn’t about power but about small, intentional choices that lead to big impact. More than anything, leadership is the difference between merely passing time and truly living.

Somewhere in the world there is a poet whom millions of people know by heart, quote at weddings and funerals, teach to their children before the children can read, and treat as a kind of shared inner weather. He is, by general agreement, the greatest writer his language has produced. And almost no one outside that language has read him. For the English-speaking reader, Alexander Pushkin occupies roughly the place that Lord Byron occupies for a Russian: a famous name, a respectful nod, and a strange blank where the actual experience of the poetry ought to be.

For two thousand years, faith has carried a quarrel inside it that no council ever settled and no creed ever named outright: the war between the body and the soul. Somewhere along the way, the flesh became the enemy. Desire became danger. The bed, the womb, the smell of bread, the warmth of a hand on a sleeping child’s back — all of it was filed under suspicion, something to be disciplined, confessed, and overcome on the way to God.

Seventy years ago, Simone de Beauvoir wrote that one is not born a woman but becomes one. It was meant as a liberation. It became a prophecy whose second half no one had read aloud. We have spent three generations dismantling the cage of the eternal feminine, only to discover that freedom, when it finally arrives, does not feel like the morning after a revolution. It feels like standing alone in a very large room with no instructions on the wall. This book reads Beauvoir as she deserves to be read: not as a banner but as a skeptic, a witness so honest she indicted even the women she defended.

He saw a woman made of light three times in his life, once in a London reading room and once in the Egyptian desert, and he spent the rest of his days trying to explain her to people who had not. Vladimir Solovyov was the strangest and most generous mind that nineteenth-century Russia produced: a philosopher who befriended Dostoevsky, begged a tsar to spare his father's assassins, gave away his money until he had none, laughed a laugh that frightened strangers, and devoted an enormous intellect to a single impossible task. He wanted to put the world back together.
