Three Cups of Deceit: How Greg Mortenson, Humanitarian Hero, Lost His Way (Kindle Single)
Greg Mortenson has built a global reputation as a selfless humanitarian and children’s crusader, and he’s been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is also not what he appears to be. As acclaimed author Jon Krakauer discovered, Mortenson has not only fabricated substantial parts of his bestselling books Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools, but has also misused millions of dollars donated by unsuspecting admirers like Krakauer himself.
This is the tragic tale of good intentions gone very wrong.
100% of Jon Krakauer’s proceeds from the sale of Three Cups of Deceit will be donated to the “Stop Girl Trafficking” project at the American Himalayan Foundation (www.himalayanfoundation.org/live/project/stopgirltrafficking).

Shaken, Not Stirred (Kindle Single)
Tim Gunn – mentor to contestents on Project Runway, and author of A Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style and New York Times Bestseller Gunn’s Golden Rules – recounts his tumultuous relationship with his father in this personal essay. Gunn’s father, Bill, was a special agent who served as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s ghostwriter and lived his life according to a set of unbending routines. When Bill Gunn was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, his rigid habits seemingly preserved his sanity while alienating Tim and the rest of his family. Shaken, Not Stirred offers an intimate and heartfelt look into the life of one of fashion’s most beloved icons.Tim Gunn is the epitome of charm, style, and polish. He’s well-mannered, well spoken, and–of course–well dressed. But if you’ve ever wondered who the man is behind the countless suits, the fashion advice, and the star-studded events, then Shaken, Not Stirred is a good place to start. In this Kindle Single, Gunn sheds light on a more personal side of his life, revisiting his childhood and recounting what it was like to grow up with an obsessive-compulsive father. Not wanting to follow in his father’s footsteps (though he has his father to thank for his penchant for suits), Gunn struggled to overcome his own OCD tendencies and demons, including a failed suicide attempt. It becomes clear that his rise to the top was not an easy one, making the man he grew up to be even more impressive. –Shirley Hong
