In the future, genetically engineered superhumans, inspired by classic Earth comic book heroes, fight to keep the peace in the wild and wooly space habitats of the Asteroid Belt

Our willpower is limited, yet we rely on it every day to get our tasks done. Even if we build willpower slowly over time, it's never enough to reach all of our goals. The solution lies in habit creation, the method by which we transform hard tasks into easy ones, making them automatic and independent of our will power. Each of us has millions of habits, in how we do our work, interact with others, perceive the world, and think about ourselves. Left unexamined, these habits are just as likely to hinder our progress as they are to push it along. Without a deliberate system for building habits, we become our own worst enemy. Superhuman by Habit examines habit building in depth. It covers the principles and philosophies of habit building, as well as the practical nuts and bolts implementing those habits. The second half of the book is dedicated to specific habits in every major area of life, covering the pros and cons of each, the path to implementing them, and specific notes about each one.

Did you know your brain has superpowers? Berit Brogaard, PhD, and Kristian Marlow, MA, study people with astonishing talents—memory champions, human echolocators, musical virtuosos, math geniuses, and synesthetes who taste colors and hear faces. But as amazing as these abilities are, they are not mysterious. Our brains constantly process a huge amount of information below our awareness, and what these gifted individuals have in common is that through practice, injury, an innate brain disorder, or even more unusual circumstances, they have managed to gain a degree of conscious access to this potent processing power. The Superhuman Mind takes us inside the lives and brains of geniuses, savants, virtuosos, and a wide variety of ordinary people who have acquired truly extraordinary talents, one way or another. Delving into the neurological underpinnings of these abilities, the authors even reveal how we can acquire some of them ourselves—from perfect pitch and lightning fast math skills to supercharged creativity. The Superhuman Mind is a book full of the fascinating science readers look for from the likes of Oliver Sacks, combined with the exhilarating promise of Moonwalking with Einstein.

Superhuman YOU: Break The Chains of Limitations and Unleash Your Own Superpower! Why do we have such a fascination with super heroes? It is because we see the best qualities of ourselves in them.

It may sound like a bold claim, but I achieved that desire. As a professional strongman, I bend steel bars with my hands. I am convinced that every single one of us on planet Earth has the ability to become super human. We each have at least one unique super power, a life's purpose. I have found that the principles of achieving this are the same, regardless of the goal. This book will show you how to discover and develop YOUR Super Power and how to use that power live a success-filled and happy life.

On the planet of Manitoba, the Queen Mother can cure people, perform miracles, and prevent curses. At her side is Hector, a messenger with the power to protect and save the planet from danger. The inhabitants of Manitoba adore, respect, and believe everything Lord Hector says, just as they do the Queen Mother. But one day when he unexpectedly announces a blessing meeting to proclaim an important change, everything transforms. Superhuman is a thirteen-year-old magician who receives messages through the palm of his hand. Through the messages, he has learned that Manitoba and its inhabitants are in grave danger, and that there is a wizard boy who wants to find Luna, a witch girl who holds the energy that fuels Superhumans magic. Even worse, the wizard boy wants to destroy Manitoba, with help from Hector. After Superhuman discovers his magic is linked to Luna, he sets out to find her. When he finally locates Luna and rescues her from a horrible fate, she helps him battle Hector and the wizard boy. But will it be enough to stop them from carrying out their diabolical plan or will Manitoba be destroyed forever? In this exciting tale, a young magician embarks on a courageous quest to save his planet from a wizard boy determined to destroy it.

For readers of Room and The Glass Castle, an astonishing memoir of one woman's rise above an unimaginable childhood. Maude Julien's parents were fanatics who believed it was their sacred duty to turn her into the ultimate survivor -- raising her in isolation, tyrannizing her childhood and subjecting her to endless drills designed to "eliminate weakness." Maude learned to hold an electric fence for minutes without flinching, and to sit perfectly still in a rat-infested cellar all night long (her mother sewed bells onto her clothes that would give her away if she moved). She endured a life without heat, hot water, adequate food, friendship, or any kind of affectionate treatment. But Maude's parents could not rule her inner life. Befriending the animals on the lonely estate as well as the characters in the novels she read in secret, young Maude nurtured in herself the compassion and love that her parents forbid as weak. And when, after more than a decade, an outsider managed to penetrate her family's paranoid world, Maude seized her opportunity. By turns horrifying and magical, The Only Girl in the World is a story that will grip you from the first page and leave you spellbound, a chilling exploration of psychological control that ends with a glorious escape.
