Wallace gives readers the insights we need to understand each other, and the actions we can take to enhance each other’s lives.”— Susan Cain, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Bittersweet </i>and <i>Quiet</i><br> <br> “<i>Mattering</i> is an essential guide for how to restore meaning, comfort, and joy to our lives.” — Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, 19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States<br> <br>From award-winning journalist and bestselling author Jennifer Wallace comes <i>Mattering</i>—a landmark book that introduces a transformative new framework to confront the loneliness, burnout, and lack of purpose so many of us face today.</b><br>In this groundbreaking work, Wallace makes an urgent case: mattering—the feeling that we are valued and have an opportunity to add value—is a core human need, as essential to our well-being as food and water. And yet, in today’s world, that fundamental need is going unmet, with perilous consequences. As mental and social health crises surge, we often blame social media, the pace of modern life, and polarizing politics. But beneath these issues lies a deeper crisis, what Wallace calls “an erosion of mattering.” <br>With her signature warmth and insight, Wallace weaves together research and deeply moving stories of mattering lost and regained. From burned-out employees to overwhelmed caregivers to people grappling with grief or struggling through a destabilizing transition, <i>Mattering</i> explores how our lives are transformed when we are reminded, in small and intentional ways, that we are valued and that we have value to offer. Wallace provides the essential elements to building what she calls our “mattering core”: recognizing your impact, being relied on (but not too much), feeling prioritized, and being truly known and invested in. Strengthening this core helps us reconnect to our sense of purpose, deepen our relationships, and navigate life’s uncertainties and challenges with greater resilience. <br>For readers of Brené Brown, David Brooks, and Adam Grant, <i>Mattering</i> is a rare, culture-shifting book that offers both a diagnosis and a remedy. With a clear road map and actionable takeaways, Wallace reveals how to unlock this powerful force within ourselves and how to build cultures of mattering in our homes, workplaces, and communities.  <br><i>Mattering</i> is both a call to action and a blueprint for living a meaningful life and creating a world we so urgently need.]]></description><link>https://croton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C12137406</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://croton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C12137406</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Breheny Wallace, Jennifer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://croton.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12137406980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217283330/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[BizAvJets USA]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>A quarterly magazine for the business aviation industry and those who use its services.]]></description><link>https://croton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C12831808</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://croton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C12831808</guid><category><![CDATA[MAG_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://croton.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12831808980</comments><format>MAG_ONLINE</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Screen on the Planet]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><b>The story of the most effective attention algorithm ever invented, and the superpower struggle to control it.</b></p><p> </p><p><i>Every Screen on the Planet</i> is the first major book on one of the most dramatic business stories of our time. Touching on politics, finance, data, and technology, the struggle over TikTok has enormous implications for our information landscape and the technological cold war between the United States and China.</p><p> </p><p>Emily Baker-White's engrossing narrative charts TikTok's rise from obscurity into the world's most valuable startup, led by its ambitious founder, Zhang Yiming—arguably the father of the modern recommendation algorithm. Zhang's products reshaped the global internet from a place where you searched for information to one where information came to you. TikTok seemed to know its users in an almost spooky way, provoking wonder and delight. People were hooked. "We intend to become ubiquitous," a new-hire training video said, to put TikTok "on every screen on the planet."</p><p> </p><p>But virtually everything about TikTok's users—their interests, locations, and even their unspoken desires—was accessible to staff in Beijing. After Baker-White, a Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative reporter, revealed that Chinese engineers could access Americans' private information, a team of employees used the app to track her location and attempt to expose whistleblowers. This incident triggered an ongoing criminal investigation and escalated the US government's fight against Chinese tech.</p><p> </p><p>TikTok was the first Chinese app to become a US juggernaut, and lawmakers soon recognized its potential for surveillance and propaganda—and the threat it might pose in the hands of their rivals. Yet even as hawks in Congress gained support to ban the app, the White House was secretly negotiating for unprecedented control over its information stream. In 2025, when President Donald Trump declined to enforce the so-called ban law, TikTok seemed to complete a miraculous corporate escape. It retained its influence, profits, and power, but now operated at the pleasure of two strongmen: China's Xi Jinping and Trump himself.</p>]]></description><link>https://croton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11822784</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://croton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11822784</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baker-White, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://croton.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11822784980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The War Over TikTok</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798897560462/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The CARAVAN Hindi]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>The Caravan is India’s first and foremost magazine dedicated to long-form narrative journalism with a focus on politics, culture, society, business, and the arts.
