DEAR READER, 1 Love him or loathe him, you can’t deny the staying power of Geraldo Rivera. In a world where everyone seems to choose sides, Geraldo has always blazed his own trail. He’s both a self-proclaimed Jew-Rican New Yorker with progressive views on immigration and a friend of Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, and Roger Ailes. He is both a low-brow entertainer brawling with neo-Nazis and “revealing” Al Capone’s empty vault and an award-winning reporter whose work led to the reform of the horrific conditions of institutions for the disabled and who served fearlessly on the front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, with the perspective of time and with nothing left to prove, Rivera reflects on the ups and downs of his incredible life and career in the spotlight in The Geraldo Show. Did you know that a single chemical in our brains is associated with striving, wanting, and addic- tion? It is the reason we’re constantly seeking rewards but are never satisfied once we’ve attained them. That chemical is dopamine, and The Molecule of More takes a look at the research behind it, and how it impacts everything we do—whether it’s love, business, politics, or religion—and how we can strive to be better. What do highly successful people have in common? In The Formula, the reason behind the excel- lence of the world’s top achievers can be distilled into one principle: parenting matters.

DEAR READER, 1 Welcome to BenBella’s Spring 2019 catalog! We’ve got another incredible set of titles for you. But before I introduce the titles, I want to let you know about another BenBella Books production: Building Books, a podcast hosted by yours truly. Our podcast is aimed at writ- ers, aspiring writers, and industry professionals. We cover our books and our authors but I also interview a variety of publishing experts, including other publishers, marketers, and literary agents. You can find it on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts, or at BuildingBooksPodcast.com. I think you’ll enjoy it. As usual, we’ve collected an eclectic set of titles for our readers, from the power of brainwaves to transform our lives to adventures on the set of Saturday Night Live, from the candid memoir of the singular Lamar Odom to an in-depth look at what’s really happen- ing at Tesla. Almost everyone knows who Lamar Odom is, but his full story has never been told . until now. In Darkness to Light, Lamar reveals the details of his incredible life, filled with celeb- rity, athleticism, excess, tragedy, and an almost miraculous recovery. And sit down with the always funny Chris Kattan, as he tells the hysterical and occasionally shocking behind-the- scenes stories of SNL in Baby, Don’t Hurt Me. We’ve got some wonderful science titles this season.
