  • Book Club Sets to Borrow from SIDES
    Professional Book Club Sets @ SIDES Please be in touch if you'd like to borrow any! Descriptions taken from Amazon.ca Title Author # of copies Me, Myself and Us Brian R. Little 10 In Me, Myself and Us, Little explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but are as commonplace as yesterday's breakfast conversation: Are our first impressions of other people's personalities usually accurate? Are creative individuals essentially maladjusted? Are our personality traits, as William James put it, "set like plaster" by the age of thirty? Are some individuals genetically hard-wired for happiness? And which is the more viable path toward human flourishing, the pursuit of happiness or the happiness of pursuit? Me, Myself and Us provides a resource for answering such questions and a framework through which readers can explore the personal implications of the new science of personality. Little helps us see ourselves, and other selves, as somewhat less perplexing and definitely more intriguing. David and Goliath Malcolm Gladwell 9 & 1 CD In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. From there, David and Goliath examines Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms---all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity.

  • An Inside Look at Podcasting in 2020 a CONVERSATION with JON SCHNAARS of PUSHKIN INDUSTRIES
    FEATURED An Inside Look at Podcasting in 2020 A CONVERSATION WITH JON SCHNAARS OF PUSHKIN INDUSTRIES DAVID BRASHEARS - PR DIRECTOR sk 30 people what they listened to on the way to work last year, and probably 20 of them would reference a podcast. It’s the new way to access an older media format, and it is still growing by leaps and bound. I’ve been an avid consumer of Apodcast content for the best part of the last decade, and have built some relationships with industry professionals, so I thought it’d be a good idea to reach out and learn how one of the most interesting media industries of the new millennium was faring through the modern state of things. I became familiar with Jon Schnaars through an independent genre film critique show for which he is one of the regular hosts. Jon has been a host on a few different podcasts for nearly 15 years and has seen how the platform has grown and evolved in that time. Through his career, Jon has worked in advertising and marketing strategy for companies like Google—part of that time working with the YouTube team on advertising and content integration, and on the agency side helping brands utilize advertising partnerships to grow their position. Along with his duties as a content creator these days, he now also works within one of the larger independent podcast production companies based in New York, Pushkin Industries. Pushkin Industries was launched in 2018 as a joint venture between Jacob Weisberg and Malcolm Gladwell (bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Outliers, blink, David and Goliath, What the Dog Saw, Talking to Strangers, and more).
