The subtle art of not giving a f*ck is a counterintuitive guide to living a good life that cutsthrough the nonsense to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so thatwe can truly become better, happier people. The book is about finding somethingimportant and meaningful in your life which then leads to the effective utilization of yourtime.The author believes that most of human frustrations and feelings of failure majorlyhumans prioritize and value the wrong things.

Polio : An American Story (9780195307146)

All who lived in the early 1950s remember the fear of polio and the elation felt when a successful vaccine was found. Now David Oshinsky tells the gripping story of the polio terror and of the intense effort to find a cure, from the March of Dimes to the discovery of the Salk and Sabin vaccines-and beyond. Here is a remarkable portrait of America in the early 1950s, using the widespread panic over polio to shed light on our national obsessions and fears. Drawing on newly available papers of Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin and other key players, Oshinsky paints a suspenseful portrait of the race for the cure, weaving a dramatic tale centered on the furious rivalry between Salk and Sabin. Indeed, the competition was marked by a deep-seated ill will among the researchers that remained with them until their deaths. The author also tells the story of Isabel Morgan, perhaps the most talented of all polio researchers, who might have beaten Salk to the prize if she had not retired to raise a family...
