Uplifted: Stories of Climbing with Friends in High Places - Sonnie Trotter
Apr 15, 202509:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Uplifted: Stories of Climbing with Friends in High PlacesAuthor: Sonnie TrotterNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 9:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 04-15-2025Publisher: Random House (Audio)Genres: Sports & Recreation, Biography & Memoir, History & Culture, Outdoor RecreationSummary:How is a person changed by commitment to their passion, and how does their commitment change over time? These are questions that esteemed climber Sonnie Trotter asks as he reflects on the most thrilling adventures of his sport and his life. Trotter has been dangling from astonishingly high places for over 25 years, more than half his life. He’s been at the forefront of the sport for most of that time, specializing in first ascents on rock faces most people cannot imagine scaling. In Uplifted, Sonnie recounts the most memorable moments of his career but also the rich relationships, including with epic climbers such as Tommy Caldwell ('Dawn Wall') and Alex Honnold ('Free Solo'), that are the spine of the sport, as well as the psyche that draws one to and evolves as one grows into and through this unique and challenging endeavor. From learning to climb in an ancient grain silo in southern Ontario, to mastering some of the hardest, tallest rock climbs on Earth, Sonnie shares entertaining but candid tales about life on the road, living in the dirt, overcoming obstacles, and changing within his sport. He writes as if he is sharing stories around the campfire at the end of a great day, when you are bone-tired but loving the camaraderie, so much so that you don’t want to retire to your tent. He embodies a “humble masculinity” in what is perceived as a high-adrenaline, hard-charging sport, but reveals that it is very much about careful consideration, insightful reflection, and balancing challenge and risk. Sonnie speaks openly about how his attitude towards the risks climbing demands has changed as he has aged and changed his life’s circumstances. Now married with two young children), he describes how he has reconciled these parts of his life and his identity. This is a crossroads that many – whether from commitment to a sport or through other circumstances of life – have faced and will relate.

Trauma Plot: A Life - Jamie Hood
Mar 25, 202509:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Trauma Plot: A LifeAuthor: Jamie HoodNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 9:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 03-25-2025Publisher: Random House (Audio)Genres: Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, Non-Fiction, Social Science, Literary CriticismSummary:From a rising literary star and the author of How to Be a Good Girl comes a brilliant, biting, and beautifully wrought memoir of trauma and the cost of survival 'Hood descends into the terrifying dark of the unsayable with the dimmest of flashlights and returns bearing verbal gems, treasures, and marvels. Trauma Plot is a glass case of such wonders.'—Torrey Peters, bestselling author of Detransition, Baby In the thick of lockdown, 2020, poet, critic, and memoirist Jamie Hood published her debut, How to Be a Good Girl, an interrogation of modern femininity and the narratives of love, desire, and violence yoked to it. The Rumpus praised Hood’s “bold vulnerability,” and Vogue named it a Best Book of 2020. In Trauma Plot, Hood draws on disparate literary forms to tell the story that lurked in Good Girl’s margins—of three decades marred by sexual violence and the wreckage left behind. With her trademark critical remove, Hood interrogates the archetype of the rape survivor, who must perform penitence long after living through the unthinkable, invoking some of art’s most infamous women to have played the role: Ovid’s Philomela, David Lynch’s Laura Palmer, and Artemisia Gentileschi, who captured Judith’s wrath. In so doing, she asks: What do we as a culture demand of survivors? And what do survivors, in turn, owe a world that has abandoned them? Trauma Plot is a scalding work of personal and literary criticism. It is a send-up of our culture's pious disdain for “trauma porn,” a dirge for the broken promises of #MeToo, and a paean to finding life after death.

There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America - Brian Goldstone
Mar 25, 202514:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in AmericaAuthor: Brian GoldstoneNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 14:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 03-25-2025Publisher: Random House (Audio)Genres: Non-Fiction, Social ScienceSummary:Through the unforgettable stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the “working homeless” in cities across America The working homeless. In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, there is something scandalous about this phrase. But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one. In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.

Sister Europe: A novel - Nell Zink

Not only is she unable to attend, RSVPs have been slow to materialize, and she’s reduced to begging the ancient awardwinner to find some attendees at the last minute. Masud invites his old friend Demian, a native Berliner, who in turn invites his two best friends: the troubled innocent Livia and an American publisher, Toto, who will do anything for a free meal. But Toto doesn’t come alone. In tow are his much younger Internet date—she’s stood him up often enough to be nicknamed “the Flake”—and Demian’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Nicole. Not to mention the cop who’s been trailing Nicole since she left the red-light district. Presiding over the affair is Naema’s infinitely rich, endlessly disaffected grandson, Prince Radi, whose catastrophic pass at Nicole culminates in an epic midnight food run that changes all their lives. With sophistication and tenderness, Nell Zink weaves a vividly colored tapestry of a milieu at odds with itself, taking her trademark ambiguity, daring, and humor to new heights.

Adaptable: How Your Unique Body Really Works and Why Our Biology Unites Us - Herman Pontzer
Mar 25, 202511:30:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Adaptable: How Your Unique Body Really Works and Why Our Biology Unites UsAuthor: Herman PontzerNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 11:30:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 03-25-2025Publisher: Penguin AudioGenres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Medicine, Biology & Chemistry, Social ScienceSummary:A new understanding of how our bodies work, how to keep them healthy, and how our biological diversity unites us rather than divides us How does the body work—and why does it seem to work so differently for each of us? Why do we grow tall or short, obese or slim? Why do some of us stay healthy despite our bad habits while others who do all the right things fall ill? When we look around the planet, why do people vary in skin color, facial features, stature, body proportions, and disease risk? The answer is both simple and powerful: We’re different because we’re adaptable. Over the past 100,000 years, as humans expanded into every biome on the planet, our bodies were fine-tuned to our local environments. Adaptability is at the heart of being human and the engine of our diversity. Variation isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. As an evolutionary anthropologist working with human populations around the globe, Herman Pontzer has conducted research that embraces our incredible diversity, documenting the connections among lifestyle, landscape, local adaptations, and health. Adaptable takes us on a tour of human body. In each chapter, we learn how our bodies navigate an uncertain world: how we grow and mature; how our brains develop and learn; how our hearts, lungs, and digestive systems deliver oxygen and nutrients; how we manage toxins, temperature, and water balance; how we move and reproduce; how our immune system keeps invaders at bay; and how we age and decline. Along the way, we learn how to keep our remarkable bodies healthy, and that the universe of healthy lifestyles is vast (we don’t need the latest fad diet or cleanse!). Crucially, we come to see how understanding our bodies helps us make sense of the big issues we face today, from vaccines to heart disease, IQ to athletic excellence, diets and obesity to sex and gender, and from when life begins to what we can do to live longer and healthier.

WaltonNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 9:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 03-25-2025Publisher: Random House (Audio)Genres: Business & Economics, Non-Fiction, Career Development, PsychologySummary:“By one of the great psychologists of our time, a book that shows us how we can answer the universal questions that define our lives: Can I succeed? Do I belong? Am I loved?”—Carol S. Dweck, PhD, bestselling author of Mindset Discover simple psychological shifts that build trust, belonging, and confidence—from the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab at Stanford University The emotional questions we face can define our lives. If you’re expecting an interaction to go wrong, that expectation can make it so. That’s spiraling down. But as esteemed Stanford psychologist Greg Walton shows, when we see these questions clearly, we can answer them well. Known to social psychologists as wise interventions, these shifts in perspective can help us chart new trajectories for our lives. They help us spiral up. This is ordinary magic: The ordinary experiences that help us set aside the ordinary worries of life to unleash extraordinary change. Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis of fascinating research—both his own and others’—Dr. Walton pulls back the curtain to reveal the magic at work: • With our children: The few choice words from a parent or a teacher that builds trust and achievement. • In our relationships: How the right opportunity to reflect, for just a few minutes before a conflict conversation, can engender greater intimacy among couples—even a year later. • In school: How learning that everyone feels as out of place at first as you do at a new school—they really do—can unleash extraordinary potential, improving your life a decade later. • In our policy: how a one-page letter reduced recidivism among kids returning to school from juvenile detention by 40 percentage points; a postcard campaign cut suicide rates in half. It’s easy to think problems are out of our control. But in fact, we have vast opportunities for change. Ordinary Magic puts the tools for change at your fingertips.

A successful partner at a law firm, he has a gorgeous wife, a precious daughter, and a big house. If he also has gnawing disappointments, secret yearnings, and a creeping sense of opportunities wasted, well, that’s nobody’s fault but his own. Jenny Parrish is forty. She has two lovely sons, a devoted if somewhat hapless husband, and recently is hugely successful in her dream vocation. It’s a perfect life! So perfect, she can’t help but wonder sometimes whether it’s all going to come crashing down. For the past six years, Nick and Jenny have been meeting at least once a month and having sex. Lots of sex. Great sex. They do not discuss their spouses, they never spend the night, and they never ever talk about what their relationship means. Because this thing they have? It’s casual. Uncomplicated. When Nick books a night at a fancy new hotel, the two decide to break one of their rules and spend the whole night together. It’s business as usual—until a fire alarm goes off. At first they think it’s a false alarm. But as the fire closes in, fear strips away their defenses and justifications, forcing Jenny and Nick to be honest, with each other and with themselves, about how they ended up in this room, and what these six years have really meant. A meditation on whether it’s possible to live an authentic life, and whether we can ever show our true selves, Eliza Kennedy’s Lucky Night is a literary triumph.
