THE BEST I CAN DO: A TRUE STORY OF NAVIGATING THE COMPLEXITIES OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND HOMELESSNESS BY CHERYL LANDES
She started off happy, successful, and looking forward to the future. So how did she end up homeless and broke?
Cheryl thought she knew her husband. Nine years after marrying her college sweetheart, the middle-class woman wondered if his odd episodes of paranoia were more than just work stress. But when his condition worsened significantly after being laid off, she made a surprising discovery that revealed the depth of his mental deterioration.
Stunned when he vanished without a word, Cheryl was left with a pile of guilt and empty bank-accounts and being forced to live in her car. As she looked back on their past, their moments of bliss fought with the gut-wrenching despair of his downswings and launched her on an emotionally draining roller coaster.
In this raw and compelling account of her battle against her spouse’s mental illness, Cheryl Landes provides a lifeline of hope to anyone in the same position. And after witnessing her resilience, caring, and final revelations on how to cope with the impossible, readers will discover renewed optimism and courage in the face of adversity.

HOW SMART PEOPLE THINK: SIMPLE FRAMEWORKS FOR BETTER BUSINESS DECISIONS BY DICK RICHARDSON
How Smart People Think: Simple Frameworks for Better Business Decisions illustrates through real-world examples how individuals like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and Jeff Bezos quickly solve problems and make decisions. They use mental frameworks, which are simple tools that assist in decision-making.
The book covers challenges such as
• Facing too many problems – use the Eisenhower matrix to identify what’s urgent and important.
• Handling too many tasks during a crisis – use goal shedding, a technique Dick learned directly from Sully Sullenberger, the heroic pilot who landed the plane on the Hudson River—a flight he also experienced!
• Needing to think quickly – use the Navy SEALs framework of “Say three, pick one.”
These mental structures help you think more efficiently and in less time. You are using a mental framework right now.
You have a mental picture of the book that can help you succeed. This is that book.
