Everyone knows Einstein. The hair. The tongue. The equation. But who was the man behind the myth? This isn’t a physics textbook. It’s a human story — of a boy who asked strange questions, a thinker who bent time, and a refugee who watched the world weaponize his mind. Told in plain language with wit and clarity, Einstein: The Man Who Asked Why follows the journey of the quiet clockmaker’s son who reimagined space, challenged war, rejected authority, and spent his final days chasing an unfinished theory.

You eat three times a day. But do you know what you’re eating? From prehistoric fire pits to fast food assembly lines, Lunchtime is the story of how food evolved—then got hijacked. This isn't a diet book. It’s a history of what meals used to mean, and how we quietly traded them for convenience, branding, and shelf life. You’ll follow the breadcrumb trail through: Ancient kitchens and imperial banquets, factories, war zones, supermarkets, and drive-thrus. By the time you finish, you won’t just think differently about food. You’ll feel it.

They churn butter by hand, shun electricity, and ride in buggies — but is that the whole story? In a world obsessed with progress, the Amish chose pause. Plain Truth steps beyond the stereotypes to uncover what really lies beneath the bonnets, barns, and Bible verses. From Rumspringa rites of passage to the silent power of tradition, this book traces the line between devotion and control, community and conformity, faith and fear. Are the Amish a relic of the past… or a warning to the present? What begins as a cultural investigation becomes a mirror — not just into their world, but our own.

Knock, Knock is a sharp, honest, and eye-opening look inside the world of Jehovah’s Witnesses—the door-to-door religion most people know by sight, but not by substance. From failed doomsday prophecies to publishing empires, blood bans to birthday boycotts, this book explores how one of the most tightly controlled religions in the world came to be—and why millions still follow it. You’ll meet the man who started it, the machine that runs it, and the people trying to survive it.

He wasn’t just famous. He was mythic. Michael Jackson lived in the spotlight but never stepped fully into the world. From child prodigy to cultural phenomenon, his life was one of performance, projection, and impossible expectations. This isn’t a tribute. It’s not a takedown. It’s the story of a boy who flew too far, gave too much, and never really landed. A mirror. A myth. A man the world never truly saw.

So we drank the Diet Coke. Bought the zero sugar snacks. Trusted the label. What if the label was the problem? The Sweet Lie pulls back the curtain on the illusion of "healthy" sweetness — tracing the rise of artificial sweeteners, the cultural brainwashing of diet products, and the subtle, billion-dollar system built to keep us coming back for more. This isn’t just about what’s in your drink. It’s about how that drink became normal.

Julius Caesar was not just a general. He was not just a dictator. He was the rupture point between republic and empire, between mortal and myth. This is not a dry biography. This is a cinematic retelling of the man who allied with Cleopatra, defied the Senate, crossed the Rubicon, and built an empire. Through betrayal, ambition, war, and worship—Caesar shattered the systems that birthed him and became the blueprint for every ruler that followed. From the alleys of Rome to the halls of power, from the knives of the Ides to the comet that burned overhead, this book tells the real story.

We all learned the story. Now it’s time to hear what actually happened. 1776: The Revolution is a piercing, unfiltered journey into the founding of the United States. What really happened in the meeting rooms, the battlefields, and the parchment scrolls of the so-called land of the free? What was written in ink—and what was left out by design? This is a time capsule. A mirror. A warning label. Because the revolution never ended. We just stopped asking who it was for.

We laughed at the rat who cooked. We cried when the old man floated away with his house. We felt weird things when a red panda exploded out of a teenage girl. But somehow, through all the animated chaos, these movies ended up saying something real. This book is a collection of short, heartfelt reflections on Pixar’s biggest hits — from Inside Out to Ratatouille, The Incredibles to Soul. It’s not a film analysis. It’s not a self-help book. It’s something weirder: A love letter to growing up with feelings, finding yourself in cartoons, and realizing maybe you’re not crazy for still crying at Up.

This is not about gas stations. It’s about everything they represent. Addiction disguised as convenience. Exhaustion normalized as hustle. Survival sold back to you—one purchase at a time. This Will Make a Blue-Collar Worker Cry is a brutal, eye-opening dive into the real systems fueling burnout culture. From nicotine rituals to sugar-coated dopamine bombs, it shows how the trap was built—and how to finally escape it. Every gas station breakfast. Every energy drink at dawn. Every smoke break, sugar rush, and six-pack after shift. It all adds up. And it’s not by accident.

He died broke, bleeding, and unknown. Now he’s priceless. Van Gogh: A Life in Color, Pain, and Immortality isn’t your typical artist biography. It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the soul of a man we turned into a myth — and what we lost when we did. This book peels away the poster boy tragedy, the swirling clichés, and the pop-culture memes to reveal the real Vincent: a failed preacher, a frantic letter-writer, a man who lived on bread crusts and absinthe — and painted like the stars were screaming.

Bella Ciao: The Rise and Fall of Benito Mussolini is a scathing, cinematic takedown of Europe’s original fascist showman. From street-brawling socialist to self-anointed Caesar, Mussolini built a myth—then drowned in it.

You’ve heard the names. You’ve seen the paintings. Maybe you even thought they were just Ninja Turtles. But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

Edison isn’t just a biography. It’s a blueprint. A story of how modern innovation was wired, sold, and mythologized—and why we’re still living in its current.

He wasn’t born to rule—he decided to. Seize the Crown tells the story of how a boy from Corsica rose to dominate Europe—not just with armies, but with ideas, optics, and unstoppable momentum. This isn’t a dry military chronicle or another romantic portrait. It’s a forensic breakdown of how Napoleon hacked power, reshaped law, manipulated myth, and became the blueprint for modern authoritarianism.

In Commissioned: Inside the Door-to-Door Sales Machine, James Johnson pulls back the curtain on the job everyone thinks they understand—and reveals what actually happens on both sides of the door.
