Story
In her lively social history of American women and aging, acclaimed New York Times columnist Gail Collins illustrates the ways in which age is an arbitrary concept that has swung back and forth over the centuries. From Plymouth Rock (when a woman was considered marriageable if "civil and under fifty years of age"), to a few generations later, when they were quietly retired to elderdom once they had passed the optimum age for reproduction, to recent decades, American attitudes towards age have been a moving target.

Story
After a few billion years of bearing witness to life on Earth, of watching one hundred billion humans go about their day-to-day lives, of feeling unbelievably lonely, and of hearing its own story told by others, The Milky Way would like a chance to speak for itself. All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other.

Her artist father died on 9/11, and Joan—an art historian by training—has spent more than a decade maintaining his legacy.

What’s the most pressure you’ve ever been under? How did you react? What helped? What didn’t? Over the past five years, Dane Jensen has asked these questions of thousands of high performers - from Olympic gold medalists to Navy SEALs, politicians, executives, and busy parents. What has emerged from these conversations is that while everyone’s experiences under pressure are unique, pressure follows patterns and develops in predictable ways. If we can recognize the patterns, we can improve our ability to sidestep the biological traps that can sabotage us....

The Incredible Hulk was originally supposed to be grey, but a printing glitch led to the superhero’s iconic green colour. NHL hall-of-famer Serge Savard’s hockey career nearly ended prematurely, not because of an injury, but because of an oversight. And the invention of a beloved treat, the Popsicle, began with a simple mistake. In his fascinating and meticulously researched new book, Terry O’Reilly recounts how some of the biggest breakthroughs and best-loved products originated with a mistake.

A book for people who are feeling somewhat down to those that suffer from depression I believe will benefit from this book.
Thank you for writing this book. I bought copies for my daughters and for friends. A book that the author has written with honesty and humility. A book to help us get through some of the roughest times.

When you’re feeling down
The name suits this book perfectly :) when you’re having a rough night, or day, and you listen to at least a couple of minutes of this book a day it will really change your perspective, and give you that little bit of hope we all need each day ! Matt Haig is amazing, and I love that he’s the one that walks us through these little anecdotes, recipes, and stories to get us through those rainy days

One of those few times that I think the medium would be better as a printed book, it did not work well as an audio. Sound quality was variable (although this was explained at the end of the book)
