Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most by Tyler MooreBring order to your home and focus to your busy life with Tidy Dad's guiding principles and practical routines for organizing, cleaning, and prioritizing--both emotionally and physically.

When it all became too much--for his family's 750-square-foot apartment and his mental health--he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him. Chronicling his progress as Tidy Dad on Instagram, Moore learned that tidying is about so much more than the aesthetics and decluttering of a physical space. When he stepped back, reflected, and named what was just enough, he was able to devise systems and hacks that brought order to his whole life.

Wisdom Takes Work: Learn. Apply. Repeat. by Ryan HolidayIn this much-anticipated final installment in the Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday makes the case for the virtue on which all other virtues depend.

Drawing on fascinating stories of ancient and modern figures alike, Holiday shows how to cultivate wisdom through reading, self-education, and experience. Through the lives of Montaigne, Seneca, Joan Didion, Abraham Lincoln, and others, Holiday teaches us how to listen more than we talk, to think with nuance, to ruthlessly question our own beliefs, and to develop a method of self-education.
