Leading trauma psychologist Buqué explains how an individual’s unaddressed trauma can affect family, friends, and community, eventually passing from generation to generation—and how to Break the Cycle. Kennedy may be One in a Millennial, but the busy pop culture commentator comments broadly on her generation’s experiences, registering how it has shaped her and how her cohort can deepen their lives (100,000-copy first printing). In Fluke, Atlantic contributor Klaas argues that small, random events can radically alter our lives—and history itself. Creator of the award-winning YouTube channel How To ADHD, McCabe was diagnosed with ADHD at age 12 and, having dropped out of college twice and changed jobs 15 times by age 32, finally sought out experts whose advice she shares here. Manne’s Unshrinking doesn’t just share intimate stories of her struggles with excess weight (and the mocking she’s been subjected to); as a Cornell philosophy professor, she aims for trenchant analysis of fatphobia as a key social justice issue. The couple’s therapist behind the popular Instagram account @TheSecureRelationship, which has one million followers, Menanno aims to show reader how to find Secure Love. Cofounder of Moms in Color, doula Sellerz-Jackson offers lessons On Thriving, focusing on self, self-care, mental health, and joy. With The Friction Project, organizational experts Sutton and Rao follow up their best-selling Scaling Up Excellence, explaining how workplaces can eliminate the annoying, time-consuming processes that are supposed to make employees more productive—but don’t.
