What do you actually believe? Not what your family says. Not what your pastor says. Not what your podcast host says. What the label means. Fully. This is not a book about scripture. It’s not a defense of religion. And it’s not a takedown of belief. It’s a walkthrough. From Christians to Catholics, Evangelicals to Mormons, Muslims to Jews, Hindus to Buddhists, Atheists to Agnostics, and cults you didn’t even know were real. This book lays out the actual belief structure, system by system, line by line. No cherry-picking. No commentary. Just: “If you say you are this… here’s what that means.

From sacred ceremony to cigarette ads, from opioid pills to infinite scroll, Addiction: The Habit That Runs the World traces the full timeline of how craving became a system and how that system became modern life. This is not a recovery memoir. This is not a clinical manual. This is a walk through the architecture of addiction. How it was built, scaled, sold, and normalized. From the opium wars and plantation sugar to vaping teens and dopamine apps, this book shows how every empire found its fix, and how every generation got hooked.

Life didn’t begin with a roar. It began with goo. Before brains, bones, bugs, or breathing, Earth was just a soup of chemicals getting zapped by lightning until something clicked. This is the story of what happened next. From the first self-replicating molecule to the rise of humans with god complexes, From Goo to You is a ride through four billion years of biology. The true story of how atoms turned into cells, cells turned into creatures, and creatures started asking, "What even is life?"

This isn’t a memoir. It’s not a miracle cure. And it’s not another promise built on fear. This is the book that finally explains it, all of it. What it is. How it works. Why it’s so hard to treat. What the treatments actually do. What the diagnosis does to your mind. And how the system around it got so big, so expensive, and so confusing. It’s biology. It’s industry. It’s psychology. It’s the full picture, from rogue cells to medical machines to the moment your life gets split in half by one word.

With talented and dedicated people, any business can succeed. Without great people, every business will fail. Yet many managers recruit only when they have a job opening, often settling for those who are only “good enough”. Yet hiring the right people is an ongoing process, not a one-time activity. Unfortunately, many managers often hire those who are most like them instead of who are best suited for the open position. But great managers “hire slow, fire fast.” They interview effectively and check a candidate’s past performance before making an offer.

Every person on the planet was born for significance, created by God to make a difference in his kingdom. Fulfilling God’s purpose is a lifelong endeavor, but it comes with a cost. God is a perfect father who looks for chances to pour blessings into the lives of his children. But he is also a father who loves us and doesn’t want to increase our blessing beyond what we have the heart and maturity to carry well. What does it look like when significance is carried well? God is glorified, we are strengthened, and the people around us benefit.

Inside, you’ll learn how your body builds itself from atoms, why proteins do everything, how cells specialize, how your brain talks to your gut, and what happens when it all breaks down.

In this punchy history, JJ breaks down the world’s oldest force: not by preaching, but by exploring.

Oops, All Atoms is a walk through what materialism actually means. Not in theory, but in practice.

Through yoga practices and philosophy, this book explores liberation for ourselves and others, while asking us to engage in our own agency - whether that manifests as activism, volunteer work, or changing our relationships with others and ourselves.

Darwin's theory of evolution is accepted by most educated Americans as simple fact. This easy acceptance, however, hides from us the many ways in which evolution - as an idea - shapes our thinking about a great many things. What if this idea is wrong? What if "evolution" is just a word that covers up scientific ignorance of how the wonders of the living world could have been created? Berkeley law professor Phillip Johnson looks at the evidence for Darwinistic evolution the way a lawyer would - with a cold dispassionate eye for logic and proof.

For most of the last 2,000 years, questions about the figure of Jesus have begun with the Gospels, but the Gospels themselves raise puzzling questions about both Jesus and the religious movement within which these narratives were produced.
