She Thinks Big by Andrea Liebross You’re stuck … and you're frustrated. You want growth, but the next step isn’t clear. Your inner voice nudges you to do more, but you aren’t sure what or how. Or maybe your priorities constantly fight for your attention, and you always feel behind. The thing you want most is movement — toward more time, money, energy, brain power, or simply the enjoyment that’s supposed to come from having your own business. You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. Andrea Liebross has discovered that the secret to getting unstuck iswhat you think, not what you do. It’s time to stop playing small and start Thinking Big. In this book, Andrea helps you:

Here’s what they’re reading at The Mayflower Hotel, an Autograph Collection Hotel,
Washington, DC... Up from the Water by Tanya Simpson In this book, you will meet a little girl with big dreams who was bound and determined to do it all on her own. A little girl on a grown-up journey who found redemption, completion, and a new heart along the way. At age 17, Tanya Simpson awoke in wreckage on the side of the road to the overwhelming reality that a car accident had stolen away both her first love and her identity. This book is the story of a forty-year journey of a broken girl searching for a new identity - first in music, then in ministry, then through a career in law and business - before finally arriving at the realization that identity does not revolve around what we do, whom we admire, or whom the rest of the world thinks we should be. Identity is so much more than all of those things. In writing Up from the Water, Tanya came to understand that most of us tend to live our lives on the surface level, especially in a modern, Western culture that is dominated by social media. While we project a public façade of having it all together, most of us privately sojourn through life feeling hopelessly lost. Through weathering life's storms, we've been dismasted, our sails have been shredded, our rudders have been broken, we're taking on water, and we find ourselves adrift, tossed about at the mercy of wherever the currents and prevailing winds take us. It is only when we are willing and brave enough to cut the tether to our broken boats, jump overboard, and dive fully beneath the surface, leaving behind all of the lies that we've been told and the lies that we've told ourselves about ourselves, that we can emerge above the water and rise into the identity of who each of us is uniquely called to be. This is the story of one woman's journey into and up from the water. |

Here’s what they’re reading at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Santa Monica, CA...
Genesis by Henry A. Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, Craig Mundi In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount “a profound exploration” (Walter Isaacson) of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence: a breakthrough that dramatically empowers people in all walks of life while also raising urgent questions about the future of humanity. As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen—usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI. |

Here’s what they’re reading at Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, PA...
Oldest Mom On The Playground by Judy Haveson Judy Haveson always believed she would one day “have it all.” Then she turned forty and wondered if she had waited too long. After countless failed first dates and fewer second ones, she finally found love, got married, and became a mother at forty-three. Oldest Mom on the Playground is a collection of relatable, heartwarming, and humorous essays. Written in her signature conversational style and with a touch of sarcasm, Judy takes readers on her journey of getting pregnant after forty (and delivering the baby during a full moon), raising a child in New York City (including the time she lost him in a grocery store and found him standing on Broadway), leaving the career she spent decades building to volunteer as a preschool class rep, to becoming a card-carrying member of the sandwich generation. Judy offers no parenting advice, only personal reflection. And she takes nothing in her life for granted. Her message to other midlife mamas is this: trust your gut, let your life experience guide you, and pray no one ever mistakes you for the grandmother. |

Morning Fuel by Rebecca Faye Smith Galli If there’s one thing Rebecca Galli knows, it’s the importance of staying fueled—daily. She’s had a lot to power through: Her seventeen-year-old brother’s death. Two children with special needs that include autism and epilepsy. Divorce. And her own paralysis. Galli has lived a life filled with unexpected loss—and learning. Infused with wisdom from Galli’s deep-thinking pastor father, her ever-optimistic, hostess-with-the-mostest mother, and other memorable family members and friends, Morning Fuel offers stories designed to inspire, encourage, or make you think. Sprinkled throughout are quotes from some of the greatest thinkers of our time—words that have bolstered Galli’s resolve to power through her darkest valleys. Each entry ends with questions that invite personal application and provoke further pondering. How you start your morning sets the tone for your whole day. Let the wisdom of Morning Fuel help you make that tone a positive one. |

Here’s what they’re reading at The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York, NY...
This Time Could Be Different by Khristin Wierman A compulsive overachiever, Madeline lives by the credo that easy is synonymous with mediocre—which is why, at forty-nine, she’s a senior vice president at a prominent bank, frantically adheres to a five-step nightly face cream regimen, and panics anytime she’s a foot away from her phone. Madeline works alongside her best friend, Emma—a master juggler of her own career, marriage, and motherhood to a fourteen-year-old daughter who speaks only in baffling acronyms. The path ahead for both women is brimming with opportunity. There’s only one problem: Madeline is miserable. Seeking purpose in her life while trying to unravel the source of habits she wants to change, Madeline reluctantly agrees to try yoga, meditation, and other wacky suggestions her new-agey therapist tosses her way. She feels as if she’s risking everything—but in doing so, she just might unlock a world more fulfilling than she ever could have imagined. |
