Restaurateur, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author Danny Meyer reveals the secrets of his widely admired leadership philosophy and the tools he uses to build an energized, cohesive, and motivated culture.In 2006, Danny Meyer owned eleven restaurants, was nurturing a single parkside burger kiosk called Shake Shack, and had just written a bestselling book, Setting the Table, about his companys unique culture of Enlightened Hospitality. On the first page of that book, Danny proudly declared that in twenty-five years he had never closed a restaurant. But just a few years later, he shuttered his beloved Tabla, a decision that filled him with shamebut sparked a reckoning within him about what it means to be a leader.Danny realized that his fear of failure wasnt just misguided: it was also an impediment to his innate entrepreneurial spirit. In What Could Possibly Go Right?, he takes the reader along on his journey to learn how hes delivered a winning culture of excellence at scale. Businesses and organizations have long understood how to scale systems of production. But its a much trickier challenge to scale uplifting human relationships, particularly in a fluid, growing organizationone that has now spawned 700 businesses spread across twenty-four countries. As Danny writes, Along the way, Ive tripped and scraped my knee more times than I can count, and yet the general trajectory has been upward and to the right.What Could Possibly Go Right? offers fascinating, lively stories from the last twenty years of Dannys career, along with plenty of his trademark mantras (D.F.SDont Fing Settle; Change Your Grip; and Think Like a Winemaker) and leadership concepts (the Hospitality Quotient; the Rule of Two; and the Four Gears of Leadership). Together, they offer an insightful, practical, and transformative roadmap for success, yes, but more important: for making things that matter and endure. Danny believes that culture is an aspiration, not a destination. When you get your culture on the right path in any field, your missteps end up mattering far less than the innumerable lives youll have changed for the better.

In COOK ASIAN, Chris offers carefully crafted recipes and key tips (toss the noodles with oil before stir frying to prevent them from sticking!

A rich collection of plant-based Ghanaian recipes and some of West Africas singularly iconic dishesfrom the beloved creator of Eat with AfiaAfia Amoako grew up in a kitchen that was never quiet, never empty, and never boring. Food, she understood from a young age, was the essence of her familys Ghanaian culture. It was represented in the red palm oil that colored their stews; it was pounded into the plantain and cassava-based fufu they ate with soups; and it shone through in the indigenous spices that flavored kebabs and so much more. So, when her family immigrated to North America and Afia found herself drawn to a plant-based lifestyle, she worried that her connection to her home country would be lost. But happily, as she immersed herself more in West Africas culinary traditions, seeking to learn about and replicate the recipes she grew up on, food offered that connection to Ghana. In Eat with Afia, Afia assembles a warm and ever-comforting blend of recipes that pay homage to Ghanaian cuisine from a plant-based perspective. Including stories of Ghanaian foodways, culture and family traditions, Eat with Afia is an irresistible invitation to explore with Afia as she cooks her way through Ghanaian classics and her favorite dishes. From quick bites like Kebab Mushrooms and Roasted Plantains to hearty meals like Groundnut Soup and Garden Egg Stew, and, of course, Afias recipe for Jollof Rice, this is a collection of recipes to delight all of your senses. Bursting with vibrant photography, Eat with Afia is a heartfelt plant-based journey into an exciting cuisine.

As riveting as any thriller.Seth Harp, New York Times bestselling author of The Fort Bragg CartelThe explosive true story of a secret group of radicals who launched a clandestine battle to save the planetand what their legacy illuminates about the past, present, and future of the environmental movementIn the early hours of October 28, 1996, a driver in rural Oregon spotted flames rising from a federal ranger station. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, but not before discovering a cryptic phrase spray-painted on a nearby wall: EARTH LIBERATION FRONT. Over the next decade, the Earth Liberation Front would carry out the most audacious series of politically motivated arsons in American history. Their targetscar dealerships, slaughterhouses, lumber companies, a $12 million Vail ski resortwere chosen to send a message: if the government wouldnt halt the destruction of the natural world, they would. Despite causing no deaths, the ELF would soon be branded the foremost domestic terrorism threat in America and become the target of one of the FBIs largest investigations.Fires in the Night is the definitive story of the ELFs rise and unraveling, stretching from the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest to the Seattle streets of 1999s legendary WTO protests to the paranoid aftermath of September 11. For years, members of ELF, many of them close friends, led double lives, meticulously planning and staging their attacks, using secret book clubs, dead drops, and anonymous communiques, while trying to manage interpersonal friction and stay one step ahead of a relentless task force of police and federal agents. Drawing on years of original reporting and interviews, including with reclusive activists breaking their silence for the first time, as well as thousands of pages of unreleased investigative files, journalist Matthew Wolfe offers a thrilling, intimate account of a moment in American life when the actions of radical environmentalists challenged mainstream complacency. As the climate crisis continues to accelerate, Wolfe asks the most pressing question of our time: facing the end of the world as we know it, exactly what kind of resistance is justified?
