If you abandon your life to discover yourself, can you discover your life by abandoning yourself? One October morning, Dave Cicirelli announced on Facebook that he was quitting his job and heading west. Many thought him brave-or crazy. No one guessed he was lying. Fed up with Facebook's superficiality, Dave fictionalized his profile. "Fake Dave" set off on a wild adventure, including TP'ing an Amish horse and buggy and being kidnapped by a religious cult. But what began as a prank quickly became a social experiment. Hundreds of people started following and connecting over Fake Dave's journey. Meanwhile, the real Dave was increasingly isolated by this secret and its implications. Hilarious and profoundly honest, FAKEBOOK explores our cultural obsession with social media and its powerful impact on our relationships, both online and in real life.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER​ ONE OF TIME’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR Sex and the City meets Bad Blood and Catch Me if You Can in the astonishing true story of Anna Delvey, a young con artist posing as an heiress in New York City—as told by the former Vanity Fair photo editor who got seduced by her friendship and then scammed out of more than $62,000. Rachel DeLoache Williams’s new friend Anna Delvey, a self-proclaimed German heiress, was worldly and ambitious. She was also generous—picking up the tab for lavish dinners at Le Coucou, infrared sauna sessions at HigherDOSE, drinks at the 11 Howard Library bar, and regular workout sessions with a celebrity personal trainer. When Anna proposed an all-expenses-paid trip to Marrakech at the five-star La Mamounia hotel, Rachel jumped at the chance. But when Anna’s credit cards mysteriously stopped working, the dream vacation quickly took a dark turn. Anna asked Rachel to begin fronting costs—first for flights, then meals and shopping, and, finally, for their $7,500-per-night private villa. Before Rachel knew it, more than $62,000 had been charged to her credit cards. Anna swore she would reimburse Rachel the moment they returned to New York. Back in Manhattan, the repayment never materialized, and a shocking pattern of deception emerged. Rachel learned that Anna had left a trail of deceit—and unpaid bills—wherever she’d been. Mortified, Rachel contacted the district attorney, and in a stunning turn of events, found herself helping to bring down one of the city’s most notorious con artists. With breathless pacing and in-depth reporting from the person who experienced it firsthand, My Friend Anna is an unforgettable true story of “glamour, greed, lust for power” (The New York Times), and female friendship.

Friendships are one of life's greatest blessings, offering us comfort, support, and love. But what happens when a friendship hurts rather than enhances our lives? Why do some friendships go so right, while others go wrong? In this illuminating book, relationship expert Florence Isaacs explores the complex bonds of friendship and the many issues that can make or break them, everything from the ideals of love, loyalty, and affection to darker feelings of competition, neediness, and envy -- as well as our own refusal to see draining relationships for what they really are. Using expert insights, instructive anecdotes, and eye-opening quizzes, Isaacs reveals what makes a friend either true or toxic, and how to tell the difference. As warm, honest, and affirming as any true friend, this book will help you say goodbye to toxic friendships and start building meaningful connections that will enrich your life at every stage.

Having a difficult time with your friendships? Hard to recognize the difference between your true friends vs your fake ones? Not sure how to avoid the toxic and dangerous friends? Wanting to find ways to enhance and strengthen current friendships? Then this is the book for you...and your friends! You won't regret it. The Friendship Quadrant will be a tool you can use in all aspects of every relationship and it will be an effective resource your entire life. "As a family therapist, this is the first book I have read that focuses solely on the power and importance of friendship. The Friendship Quadrant provides a comprehensive toolkit for all ages to navigate the peaks and valleys of interpersonal relationships. I would recommend the Friendship Quadrant to any individual looking to improve, strengthen, and nurture positive friendships as well as parents hoping to guide their children in this same process." Lori B. Morton, MS, LPC Friendship Quadrant (FQ) teaches how to choose friends wisely and how to be a good friend. It utilizes a creative "quadrant model" to help people of all ages, but especially young people, to understand how to manage expectations in relation to their friends. With this new understanding, the readers become empowered as they quickly realize that their 'friend issues' are often not their fault. With this heightened awareness their self-image naturally improves. It's important, even vital, for people of all ages to have good friends. But as young people strive to "find their way in life" it becomes exponentially imperative for them to have good, reliable friends. Poor friend choices have had devastating effects on the lives of legions of young people who forfeited a bright future because of their "friends." By the time you finish reading this engaging book, you have learned the steps to becoming a good friend yourself so that you can attract and maintain, reliable "true blue" friends throughout your life. Friendship Quadrant will deliver to each reader a powerful and practical "life" tool that is easy to learn, retain and implement. In essence, it is a "compass" that will direct the individual to greater, more enriching friendships that will deliver immeasurable benefits. When taught in the middle school or high school environment FQ principles provide an "anti-bullying" message without ever saying the word "bully." This reality is a natural result of learning and accepting FQ principles. It's important to note, that while FQ utilizes a quadrant system to teach us to choose friends wisely, it is not a "labeling system" that forever banishes a person to a quadrant that falls "below the line" (explained in the book). Instead, the book encourages the reader to embrace those that don't meet the standard of a "good" friend. It then teaches the reader meaningful guidelines that will insulate them from the negative influences these friends may have on them. In doing so, they don't become a victim during the process of providing a positive example. We believe firmly that Friendship Quadrant will have a positive impact on the lives of every person that reads it, and in some cases, it will "redirect" an individual away from a path that is leading them to misery. As the famous quote goes, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future!"

You picked up this book because your breakup has been reduced to something that you feel you must "win" to emotionally survive and move on. This reduction can only take place if you were involved with a toxic person. Toxic people are selfish, empathetically bankrupt, and have a limited relationship with reality. Anyone who feels validated by exploiting your hunger for theirs is toxic-to your peace, your life, and your mental health. Breakups aren't won by game-playing or vilifying your ex. They're won by realizing that winning is losing a partner who has proven to be a dead end. A new life is waiting for you at the end of this journey. In Win Your Breakup, relationship and self-help coach Natasha Adamo presents the opportunity for a life with relationships that you don't have to tolerate and eggshell-walk your way through. It's a life in which your ex regrets the day they ever decided to breach your trust and break your heart; a life in which those who took you for granted wish you could find a way back into theirs. In this life, you can choose to walk away from toxicity-no more trying to be the person someone may want, may commit to, may be honest with, and may treat with respect. This life is about to be your own.

A close friendship is one of the most influential and important relationships a human life can contain. Anyone will tell you that! But for all the rosy sentiments surrounding friendship, most people don’t talk much about what it really takes to stay close for the long haul. Now two friends, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, tell the story of their equally messy and life-affirming Big Friendship in this honest and hilarious book that chronicles their first decade in one another’s lives. As the hosts of the hit podcast Call Your Girlfriend, they’ve become known for frank and intimate conversations. In this book, they bring that energy to their own friendship—its joys and its pitfalls. Aminatou and Ann define Big Friendship as a strong, significant bond that transcends life phases, geographical locations, and emotional shifts. And they should know: the two have had moments of charmed bliss and deep frustration, of profound connection and gut-wrenching alienation. They have weathered life-threatening health scares, getting fired from their dream jobs, and one unfortunate Thanksgiving dinner eaten in a car in a parking lot in Rancho Cucamonga. Through interviews with friends and experts, they have come to understand that their struggles are not unique. And that the most important part of a Big Friendship is making the decision to invest in one another again and again. An inspiring and entertaining testament to the power of society’s most underappreciated relationship, Big Friendship will invite you to think about how your own bonds are formed, challenged, and preserved. It is a call to value your friendships in all of their complexity. Actively choose them. And, sometimes, fight for them.
