What I Wish I Knew about Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations Into Achievements
The bestselling author of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20's engaging and practical guide to how to become lucky, based on her classes at Stanford University and her popular TED talk.
Much of what we call luck is the result of deliberate actions and consistent efforts. As Tina Seelig shared in her popular TED Talk, luck is like the wind, constantly blowing, often unpredictable, and always in motion. To catch the winds of luck, you need to construct your sail by doing the internal work that sets the stage for success; recruit your crew by bringing others along; and hoist your sail by acting in ways that lead you closer to your goals. With these practical tools in hand, the winds of luck carry you toward the future you dream to live.
What I Wish I Knew About Luck is filled with memorable examples, personal anecdotes, and behavioral science research. You will learn:
- how to stay steady in turbulent waters
- how to sail past your limits
- how to see problems as opportunities
- how to build ladders to larger wins
- how to clear clutter on your path to success
- how to turn setbacks into stepping stones
- how luck is amplified over the course of a lifetime
As a professor at Stanford University, with expertise on leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation, Dr. Seelig teaches her students how to see and seize opportunities, especially those hidden in plain sight. Opportunities are everywhere, waiting to be discovered!

Irreversible
They say the best kept secrets are hidden in the darkest places.
I know that better than anybody...
Because I'm one of them.
I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last.
Everyone leaves...except me.
Then I hear him-Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn't anyone's idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He's driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us-a lifeline.
Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay.
Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences.
And some consequences?
They are irreversible.

Bird with Flaming Red Feet: Seasons with an Uncommonly Common Seabird
"This is a treat for bird lovers." -- Publishers Weekly The Bird with Flaming Red Feet is a lively and heartfelt natural history of the Pigeon Guillemot, a charismatic seabird with a surprising story to tell. Found along the coast around the North Pacific and from Alaska to Southern California, this talkative and often-overlooked bird plays an outsized role in the health of marine ecosystem--earning its status as an "indicator species," especially for Washington's Puget Sound.

Drawing from over a decade of beachside study, she dives deep into the guillemot's behaviors, quirky traits, and ecological relationships. Along the way, readers meet the passionate citizen scientists who have built a unique community around caring for and studying this vibrant bird.

Los Siguientes (Novela) / The Following (a Novel)
Morir es tan difícil como inevitable. También para los que sobreviven.
El primer día que tuve que limpiarle el culo a mi padre, me mentí diciéndome que era igual que cuando se lo limpiaba a mi hijo: venga, Carmen, que es lo mismo; va, Carmen, que es tu padre; venga, mujer, que ese hombre te limpió el culo a ti.
Me lo repetía como quien está a punto de correr para darse impulso y saltar.
Es lo mismo, Carmen. Hazlo ya.
Pero no. No es lo mismo.
Si Pedro Simón fuera un panadero, diríamos que la masa madre de sus novelas son las relaciones familiares. Un ingrediente aparentemente sencillo y abundante pero absolutamente fundamental en la historia de la literatura.
Tras ganar el Premio Primavera de Novela con Los ingratos, una historia que ha conmovido a decenas de miles de lectores, volvió a apuntar al corazón con Los incomprendidos. Sin que se nos haya aflojado el nudo en la garganta, el autor nos ofrece ahora su novela más difícil pero también más universal: ¿cómo se enfrentan los miembros de una familia a la inevitable decadencia y muerte de sus mayores?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Dying is as hard as it is inevitable. Even for the ones who stay behind.
The first time I had to wipe my dad's butt, I told myself it was just like when I did it for my son: come on, Carmen, it's the same; you've got this, Carmen, he's your dad; c'mon, girl, that man used to clean your butt too.
I kept saying it to myself like someone psyching up for a sprint to launch into a jump.
It's the same, Carmen. Just do it.
But it's not. It's not the same.
If Pedro Simón were a baker, we'd say the sourdough starter of his novels is family relationships. A seemingly simple and abundant ingredient, but absolutely essential in the history of literature.
After winning the Primavera Novel Prize with Los ingratos, a story that moved tens of thousands of readers, he went straight for the heart again with Los incomprendidos. And before we've even had a chance to catch our breath, he hits us with his toughest--and most universal--novel yet: how do the members of a family face the inevitable decline and death of their elders?
