<i>Ghost Stories</i> is Siri Hustvedt's most personal work yet, a searing and intimate meditation on grief, memory, and enduring love, written in the aftermath of the death of her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker Paul Auster.<br/><br/>It is a patchwork-quilt book that stitches together memories from over forty years of love and life together: journal entries Siri wrote between early November 2023, when Paul first became ill, and 3 May 2024, the day of his funeral; e-mails Siri sent to friends during Paul's cancer treatment; notes Paul sent her over the course of their relationship; and three love letters Siri wrote to him in 1981, when he left her for a period of nine or ten days to return to his former life with his first wife and son.<br/><br/>The book also contains Paul Auster's last ever piece of writing - the first thirty-five pages of what he hoped would be a small book of letters to Siri's and his grandson, Miles Auster Hustvedt Ostrander, born on 1st January 2024. <br/><br/>The result is an emotional, full-bodied story of Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster's life together, an exploration of how grief unmoors time and how the intimacy of a shared life continues to mark the everyday. Part memoir, part philosophical inquiry, <i>Ghost Stories</i> is unflinching, tender, and wise. It is a story of a woman haunting her own life, and the ghosts that inhabit us even as we carry on.

<i><b>Start with Yourself</b></i><b> is a game-changing, no-BS guide for anyone seeking meaningful success on their own terms. It's an essential framework that will give you the tools and mindset to unlock your full potential in life and business-straight from a woman who defied all the odds to become a serial entrepreneur, cofounder of culture-defining global businesses, a non-profit champion and host of the </b><i><b>Aspire with Emma Grede</b></i><b> podcast. </b><b>All while raising a family of four children.</b><br/><br/>Based on the factors of her early life-she's the child of a working-class single mother who grew up in a rough neighborhood in East London and dropped out of high school-you'd never guess that Emma Grede would go on to become one of America's richest self-made women.<br/><br/>This makes Grede singular and unique, but she's convinced you can do it too: <i>Start with Yourself</i> is a blueprint to her mindset and how she thinks about business and life, structured in easy takeaways, so you can immediately apply her philosophy to what you're trying to build and create.<br/><br/>Among her most blazing insights, Grede identifies what she calls "Old Thoughts": stale thinking, outdated ideas; set-in-stone rules ingrained into the culture about work life balance, the crassness of money and the unseemliness of ambition-which aren't actually rules at all. They're biases, Grede insists, system errors, and we must strike them from our minds in order to create a greater sense of control, even mastery, over our day-to-day and long-range goals. <br/><br/>Ultimately, this is a book for everyone tired of feeling like a bystander or passenger in their own life. Grede offers tangible and applicable-right-now solutions to create a mindset, an overall system of thought to manage emotions, clarify ideas, and illuminate the right next step-while always staying positive.<br/><br/>It's about gathering yourself after failure. It's about being accountable but also forgiving yourself. It's about not expecting shortcuts while never being bashful about grabbing them when they appear. It's about pushing hard for wins and never apologizing for your dreams.<br/><br/>Above all, Grede offers a new vision for work and life that encourages readers everywhere to take responsibility for their own thinking to achieve personal and professional success at the highest levels.
