They didn’t always scream. Or threaten. Or rage. At least, not where anyone else could see it. Instead, they made you question your memory. Doubt your worth. Apologize for things you didn’t do. And somehow... you were always the one left feeling crazy. This isn’t just a toxic relationship. This is covert narcissistic abuse, and if you’ve lived it, you know how invisible it can be… until it nearly destroys you. Unmasking Covert Narcissism: A Thrival Guide is the roadmap you didn’t know you needed. It will help you identify the patterns, break the mental strongholds, and begin to ...

You installed Claude Code. You typed something. It did... something. Now you're staring at your terminal wondering if you're doing this right. You're not alone. "Am I using this the right way?" gets posted on Reddit every single hour. Meanwhile, some developers are building full apps in a weekend, cutting their AI bill in half, and shipping products that make real money. The gap between you and them isn't talent. It's a system. This book gives you the 48-hour system. You start with an empty folder. By hour 8, you have a deployed app. By hour 14, the UI looks professional. By hour 20, your ...

You open Claude Code. It doesn't know your coding style. It doesn't remember your project rules. It doesn't follow your architecture. Again. Meanwhile, developers on r/ClaudeCode are posting about setups where Claude writes production-ready code on the first try, follows their exact conventions, and improves itself between sessions. The difference isn't talent. It's a folder of markdown files called Skills. This book gives you the complete SKILL.md system that Anthropic built but barely documented. You'll build your first working skill in 10 minutes, then stack 5 essential skills that ...

Stop watching from the sidelines. The AI agent gold rush is happening RIGHT NOW — and the people cashing in aren't programmers. They're freelancers, virtual assistants, and small business owners who figured out how to build AI agents using no-code tools like n8n, Make, and ChatGPT. They're charging $5,000 setup fees and $1,500/month retainers. And they started with zero coding experience. This book is your step-by-step blueprint to join them. Inside, you'll build real AI agents that: Generate and qualify leads on autopilot Write, schedule, and repurpose content across platforms Handle ...

You installed OpenClaw. You followed the README. And now it just sits there, doing nothing useful. You're not alone. The 145K-star GitHub project that Jensen Huang called "the most important software release probably ever" has a dirty secret: most people who install it never get past "Hello World." They burn through API credits, get confused by YAML configs, and end up with an expensive chatbot that can't even manage their calendar. This book turns that dead install into a staff of AI agents that run your email, write your content, and send you money while you sleep. You won't read about ...

You've seen the screenshots. $300 turned into $11,550. A "quant mesh" bot printing money while someone sleeps. You opened Twitter, saw the numbers, and thought: "How do I build that?" Then you searched Amazon and found 50 books that promise "AI trading" but deliver recycled crypto theory and zero working code. This book is different. You will build a working AI trading bot this weekend. Not theory. Not "concepts." A real Python bot connected to live market data through Claude and Unusual Whales MCP, placing paper trades on Alpaca, and validated with Monte Carlo backtesting before you risk a...

You installed Claude Code. You ran a few prompts. Then you hit a wall. You're stuck in the gap between "installed" and "productive." You've seen the tweets. Developers shipping full apps in an afternoon. Non-coders launching SaaS products over a weekend. Meanwhile, you're copy-pasting error messages and watching your API bill climb. Sound familiar? This book closes that gap with 12 real projects you build yourself. Not toy examples. Not "hello world." You'll build a working web app before lunch on Day 1, connect MCP servers to live databases and APIs by Day 7, and ship a revenue-ready Micro...

And you're still trying to figure out which framework to use. This book takes you from zero to a deployed, working AI agent within a weekend. Not in 30 days. Not after a bootcamp. This weekend. You'll build a research agent, deploy it to a live URL, add memory and tools, then learn how to sell agent services to businesses who will pay you monthly. Two paths, one result. Whether you write Python or prefer no-...

By the end of this weekend, you'll have a working AI trading bot connected to Polymarket, tested strategies backed by probability math (not Twitter hot takes), and a clear 90-day plan to hit $10K/month. Every chapter has a BUILD STEP with something you ship, not just something you read. ...

In the frigid winter of 1891, with the nation still reeling from the Barings bank crisis, Inspector Philemon Raft returns from an involuntary sabbatical and is tasked with solving the kidnapping of highly placed peer Alice Dewberry. Thrust into a sordid underworld where the upper classes indulge in disreputable overseas investments designed to fatten their pocketbooks, Raft finds himself at loose ends without his companion, Constable Freddie Crook.

In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public?

The Gun Debate: What Everyone Needs to Know® delves into the issues that Americans debate when they talk about guns. With a balanced and broad-ranging approach, noted economist Philip J. Cook and political scientist Kristin A. Goss thoroughly cover the latest research.
