“This is a book for our times. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand how the extremism that stalks our world  is created and how it can be overcome. It could only be written by someone who has lived this story. And Maajid has.” --Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair

Available now as an ebook from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Maajid Nawaz spent his teenage years listening to American hip-hop and learning about the radical Islamist movement spreading throughout Europe and Asia in the 1980s and 90s. At 16, he was already a ranking member in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a London-based Islamist group. He quickly rose through the ranks to become a top recruiter, a charismatic spokesman for the cause of uniting Islam’s political power across the world. Nawaz was setting up satellite groups in Pakistan, Denmark, and Egypt when he was rounded up in the aftermath of 9/11 along with many other radical Muslims.

He was sent to an Egyptian prison where he was, fortuitously, jailed along with the assassins of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The 20 years in prison had changed the assassins’ views on Islam and violence; Maajid went into prison prea ching to them about the Islamist cause, but the lessons ended up going the other way. He came out of prison four years later completely changed, convinced that his entire belief system had been wrong, and determined to do something about it.

He met with activists and heads of state, built a network, and started a foundation, Quilliam, funded by the British government, to combat the rising Islamist tide in Europe and elsewhere. He began an activist group in Pakistan as well, using his intimate knowledge of recruitment tactics in order to reverse extremism and persuade Muslims that the "narrative" used to recruit them (that the West is evil and th e cause of all of Muslim suffering), is false. Radical, first published in the U.K., is a fascinating and important look into one man's journey out of extremism and into something else entirely.

This new edition contains a "Preface for U.S. Readers" and an updated epilogue.

Read "Can Ted Turner Save the Planet"—Turner's interview about "Last Stand" at Falcon.com.

His face is known to millions. His influence has reached billions. And now one of America’s true original modern tycoons—and innovators—is redoubling his long held devotion to the biggest challenge of all: Helping save planet earth.

With two million acres of land and 55,000 head of bison, Ted Turner is leaving his mark as a conservationist. With his $1 billion gift to the UN, he’s fighting for peace and elevating global quality of life. And he’s working to eliminate weapons of mass destruction and keep nuclear bomb-making materials out of the hands of terrorists.

"Last Stand" is a riveting account of Turner’s longstanding green endeavors, revealing a fascinating and flawed, fully three-dimensional character. Through his eyes, the reader is asked to consider new ways of thinking about the environment, capitalism, and grave challenges confronting civilization itself. The book features interviews with four Nobel Laureates as well as giants of conservation, business, and global affairs. It's Turner as you've never seen him before.

In You Are WHY You Eat, food becomes a digestible metaphor. If you are gorging and numbing yourself with food, are you doing the same thing in life? Instead of trying to please others all the time, what would happen if you listened to your inner voice? What if you could find a way to stop eating, stop working at a bad job, stop a bad relationship before you walk down the aisle—stop anything when you are full? Understanding WHY you eat can lead to real and lasting change--both in your weight loss and all other areas of your life.

You Are WHY You Eat teaches readers to take back control in their lives. Dr. Ramani takes an iconoclastic, brave, edgy, and witty approach to self-help. She teaches you to unearth that inner voice, and let it be heard. She turns all of your childhood teachings upside down and forces you to take responsibility for your choices in life. Through real-life anecdotes and exercises, she gives you the tools you need to live on your terms, not those of the stakeholders that surround you. It will help you trust yourself and act from the gut, while making that gut smaller at the same time. And in so doing, it will help people live lives that are braver, more authentic, and less riddled with regret. You can change your food attitude and change your life
