As the tension mounts between the two adversaries, a newcomer arrives who gives Beartown hockey a surprising new coach and a chance at a comeback. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact. So it's a cruel blow when they hear that Beartown ice hockey might soon be disbanded. No matter how difficult times get, they've always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team. A small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who don't expect life to be easy or fair. Have you ever seen a town rise? Ours did that, too. Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Beartown returns with an unforgettable novel "about people-about strength and tribal loyalty and what we unwittingly do when trying to show our boys how to be men" (Jojo Moyes).

Join "America's funniest science writer" (Peter Carlson, 's Most Anticipated Nonfiction Books of 2021 I thought the writing was done beautifully and loved the transitions between present day and forty-eight hours earlier. It was definitely a page turner and I had trouble putting it down. Not only was I shocked by the killer’s reveal but also by this person’s motives and history. I thought to myself “it’s so obvious who it is, that’s so disappointing.” Imagine my shock when I get almost to the end of the book and it’s NOT who I thought it was at all. While reading the book, I thought I had the killer figured out right away. I found her review interesting so I wanted to pick it up and check it out for myself, although I am always disappointed when I can pick out the killer early on.

The book’s first half deals with the archetypal hero’s journey that shows up universally in all cultures - a call to search for some treasure, the endurance of many trials, the winning of that treasure and the return of the hero, much changed, to his or her old setting.įor me, the epitome of Campbell’s look at the many ways this hero’s journey plays out in human mythology is his discussion of the Book of Job from the Hebrew Bible.Īccording to the Bible, Job is “a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.” Nonetheless, God permits him to be beset by a host of afflictions, including the deaths of his children and the loss of his fortune. By contrast, the second half was heavy sledding.

People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with why. Start with Why asks (and answers) the questions: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the why of their organization.
