Flash

What would you do if you woke up to the sound of screaming….

in the trunk of a car….

beside a dead cop….

with no idea where you were….

or why….

or when?

In Flash, Troy and Emmy are about to find out.

Imagine The Bourne Identity meets The Firm.

Two blood-spattered strangers awake, locked in the trunk of a car – with a murdered cop and the smoking gun. Aside from raging headaches and no idea what’s happened, they appear to have nothing in common. Troy thinks it’s 2001 and he’s still a combat surgeon fighting terrorists in Afghanistan. Emmy believes it’s 2002 and she’s still grifting a living from the streets of L.A.

Are they archenemies or co-conspirators? Lovers or friends? What are they doing in the Caribbean, and why is a Croatian assassin determined to kill them? The only thing they know for certain is that they’ll be spending the rest of their lives in prison if the police catch them before they learn the truth.

Flash Wisdom: A Curated Collection of Mind-Blowing, Perspective-Changing Quotes

The right quotation can change your life. That compressed idea–expressed in just a few words, a sentence or two–can shift your thinking, trigger an epiphany, alter your way of seeing the world. The wisest, most experienced, and most thoughtful people in history have left us these little thought-bombs. And this book collects them: surprising, jolting, discomforting, and comforting insights into living a full, unbridled life, questioning authority and reality, relating to fellow humans, creating, risking, loving, living with uncertainty, and staying sane in an insane world.

Poets, philosophers, scientists, musicians, artists, presidents, mystics, activists, academics, and others rub shoulders, giving us the benefit of their hard-earned wisdom, breakthroughs, breakdowns, bad choices, sudden illuminations, and lightning wit. Sharing some of life’s most important lessons are William Blake and Bruce Lee, Abraham Lincoln and Lorrie Moore, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Terence McKenna, René Magritte and St. Teresa of Avila, Zelda Fitzgerald and James Baldwin, and hundreds more.

Neatly arranged into topics we wonder about, Flash Wisdom’s rousing insights and challenging thoughts will appeal to anyone who is searching, anyone who doesn’t fit in, anyone who questions the way things are…which is to say, all of us.

Talk To Me Like I’m Someone You Love: Flash Cards for Real Life (Tarcher Inspiration Cards)

Based on Talk to Me Like I’m Someone You Love, described by Glamour.com as “the most crucial relationship advice book since Men Are from Mars,” this card deck has the power to stop an argument dead in its tracks. Talk to Me Like I’m Someone You Love: Flash Cards For Real Life feature sixty-four written statements that hold the power to express what we wish we could say to the person we love, but for which we can’t find either the right words or the right tone in which to say them. On the back of each beautifully designed card are “field notes” from the author that explain when, why, and how to use the statement. These cards include statements such as:

Right now, I don’t need a lecture. I need your love. I’m afraid to be real with you. When you are so intense, it’s hard to take in what might be valid about what you are saying. When you treat me this way, it feels like you don’t respect me. Is that true? We need a new perspective. Let’s take a break and each get clearer about what really matters here. Okay?

These flash cards, as well as the book on which they’re based, were first inspired by a particularly angry couples therapy session in which a wife’s unrelenting criticism of her husband was making him more and more emotionally withdrawn. Suddenly, Nancy Dreyfus found herself scribbling on a scrap of paper, “Talk to me like I’m someone you love,” and gesturing to the husband that he should hold it up. He did, and within seconds, the familiar power differential between the two shifted, and a gentler, more genuine connection emerged before all their eyes. Talk to Me Like I’m Someone You Love: Flash Cards For Real Life are a brilliant interactive relationship tool that can help couples stop arguing and begin healing.
