Get Sh*t Done: Why Your Brain Isn't Built for 2026 (And What to Do About It)

Get Sh*t Done:

Why Your Brain Isn't Built for 2026

(And What to Do About It)

Get Sh*t Done is kind of a productivity book—but it’s really a book about dealing with all the crap life throws at you while you’re trying to be productive. Guiding you through the chaos are Hank, a tired and overwhelmed raccoon desperately trying to clear his to-do list, and the squirrel, the living embodiment of every distraction, impulse, unnecessary side quest, and fascinating idea preventing him from getting there. The book explores why knowing what you need to do and actually getting yourself to do it are two very different things. Instead of pretending life can be conquered with the perfect planner, morning routine, or color-coded calendar, it offers practical ways to make progress when your attention, motivation, responsibilities, and emotions are all pulling you in different directions. Through Hank and the squirrel, productivity and time-management concepts are presented in a humorous, supportive, and refreshingly realistic way. Hank wants to finish one thought, accomplish something meaningful, and enjoy a cup of coffee without another crisis appearing. The squirrel wants dopamine, snacks, seventeen open browser tabs, and a sudden deep dive into a subject that has absolutely nothing to do with what Hank should be doing. Together, they capture the daily battle inside all of us: the part that wants structure, progress, and peace versus the part that is constantly distracted by something newer, shinier, easier, or more interesting. Get Sh*t Done won’t teach you to become a perfectly optimized productivity machine. It will help you laugh at the chaos, focus on what matters, and keep moving forward when life refuses to cooperate.

She Pirate's GOLD - The Vision

   

She Pirate's GOLD - The Vision

She Pirate’s GOLD – The Vision is a powerful true story that blends emotional transformation, real-world treasure hunting, and spiritual mystery into a cinematic journey unlike anything else in the market. After losing everything dear to her and watching her life collapse under the weight of heartbreak and psychological strain, Diana Patterson experiences a vivid vision of a ship at sea so real it refuses to let her go. With no plan, little money, and nothing left to lose, she follows an invisible thread of intuition from Michigan to the Caribbean, where a series of uncanny clues pulls her into the dangerous world of sailboat deliveries, shipwreck diving, and ultimately the historic discovery of Mel Fisher’s Spanish galleon treasure, the Nuestra Señora de Atocha. But beneath the maritime adventure lies a far deeper story. This is not simply about finding gold—it is about proving that the visions we carry inside us may be guiding us toward a destiny larger than ourselves. Combining the emotional awakening of Wild and Eat Pray Love with the cinematic scope of a true treasure-hunting epic, She Pirate’s GOLD – The Vision explores intuition, identity, survival, feminine transformation, and the hidden forces that shape our lives. Visually rich, emotionally raw, and spiritually provocative, it reads like a memoir written at the intersection of The Alchemist, National Treasure, and a real-life Caribbean odyssey.

Can't Find My Way Home (Those Damned Yankees)

  

Can't Find My Way Home 

(Those Damned Yankees)

Can’t Find My Way Home Recreates the Chaos and Human Cost of the American Revolution The American Revolution is often remembered through its ideals. Former U.S. Naval Officer Ray Deptula wants readers to experience it through its uncertainty, exhaustion and human cost — the same way they would any other conflict. “Ironically, the British experience in the American Revolution was strikingly similar to our own in Vietnam and even more recently in Afghanistan, where a superpower took on a woefully inferior foe and where expectation and actions of the government, the military and the people were not necessarily aligned,” Deptula said. His website https://raydeptulaauthor.com/ In Can’t Find My Way Home, the second installment in his Those Damned Yankees series, Deptula combines meticulous historical research with emotionally charged storytelling to recreate the Revolutionary War as it was lived by ordinary people caught inside extraordinary events. Rather than using history as a backdrop, Deptula immerses readers in the actual sequence of Revolutionary War battles, troop movements and political upheaval that shaped America’s founding, all the while tracing the story of a common soldier embroiled in, and at the mercy of, a chaos that challenges his ability to survive.

Spread Game: The Federal Prison Cookbook:

100+ Microwave Masterpieces from the Commissary List

The realest cookbook ever written — because it had to be.

In 2013, Justin Smith was indicted on a federal drug conspiracy charge. He served five years. This book is what he built with them.

Inside a federal housing unit, the chow hall keeps you alive — but the microwave keeps you human. SPREAD GAME is the complete cuisine of the American federal prison system: 103 tested recipes made entirely from commissary items and a single microwave, compiled with real BOP commissary lists and organized the way a cook thinks, not the way the order form prints.

Inside you'll find:

• The master commissary list, decoded — the federal pantry by category with real prices, plus the $60 starter pantry

• Technique that changes everything — hot-water-bath cooking, the chip-bag cooker, micro-frying, the cookie-tray bakery, the mayo sear

• The Spread — the communal build-out meal, from The Standard to the eight-man Birthday Spread

• The legendary Mackerel Patty Sandwich — the exact recipe that fed all of B Unit, and the sandwich-business playbook that came with it

• No-oven desserts that defy belief — two full cheesecake builds, cookie-tray brownies, two-minute fudge, and the Visitation Cake

• A full-page photo for every single recipe — 103 dishes shot in the gritty, mouthwatering style of the yard

Written in a voice as real as the yard and clean enough to gift, SPREAD GAME is for currently and formerly incarcerated cooks, the families who fill their commissary accounts, true-crime readers, dorm-room chefs, and anyone who's ever had to make something from nothing.

You don't need an oven. You need a microwave, a list, and the game.
