The Origin of Everything by Vernell Moss

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1665790687

Throughout history, humanity has endeavored to understand the origins of life, a pursuit often referred to as the “Universal Question.” From an early age, children ask their parents, “How did we get here?” This question is not limited to the context of human existence but also encompasses the origin of life. It is not just a single inquiry but a three-part exploration. It begins with our natural birth, extends to the birth of our parents, grandparents, and ancestors, and ultimately leads to questioning the origin of life. This complex question serves as the gateway to our journey of uncovering knowledge of everything under the sun. Similarly, scientists apply the same question while studying the natural world and the beginning of everything, seeking not only to unravel the beginnings of humankind but also to probe the genesis and significance of all that exists, starting with the very cosmos itself. Like orphans searching for their biological roots, we turn to science, religion, and philosophy for answers, unaware that these fields are also driven by the “Universal Question,” a curiosity. Curiosity is the “cause,” science is the “effect,” and religion, atheism, and philosophies about life are the results.

Wild Pivot: Notes from a Political Life Rewritten by Jen Thompson

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPDB2LPY

For fans of Educated and You Could Make This Place Beautiful, a memoir of powerful vignettes about a rock-star Republican strategist who gives up a life in politics after a near-death accident spurs her into a search for deeper meaning.

Jen Thompson rose to the heights of politics in her early thirties as a celebrated Republican strategist—a rarity for a young woman. For years, success and power were her only ambitions, despite the drumbeat of her inner voice warning that her life was wildly off course.

It was only when a car accident nearly killed her on the campaign trail of a nationally watched Senate campaign that Jen finally decided to walk away. Her sudden alienation from the life she had always known set into motion cascading events that carried her across the world and deep into a reckoning with her own soul.

A memoir in vignettes, Wild Pivot explores how blind loyalty develops and shapes a woman with the craving to fit in and feel celebrated. With a piercing ability to explore just how jarring change and evolution can be, Thompson moves with unflinching honesty and razor-sharp wit between snapshots of her life as she grapples with the demons of her past and commits herself to doing what is required to live a life of truth and freedom—no matter the cost.

She has been quoted in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Chicago Tribune, and served for eight years as a political commentator for NBC and ABC affiliates in Virginia.

After managing a nationally watched Senate campaign in 2002, Jen left politics and moved to Australia, an experience that transformed her politically and personally. Born in Chicago, she has lived in twelve cities, seven states, and three countries. Jen currently lives in Redlands, California.
