Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday October 7th at 6:30 pm as they welcome John Seabrook to the store to discuss and sign "The Spinach King: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty".

“Having left this material for his writer son, my father must have wanted the story told, even if he couldn’t bear to tell it himself.”

So begins the story of a forgotten American dynasty, a farming family from the bean fields of southern New Jersey that became wealthy and powerful aristocrats—only to implode in a storm of lies. The patriarch, C. F. Seabrook, was hailed as the “Henry Ford of Agriculture.” His son Jack, a keen businessman, was poised to take over what Life called “the biggest vegetable factory on earth.” But the carefully cultivated facade—glamorous outings by horse-drawn carriage, hidden wine cellars, and movie star girlfriends—hid dark secrets that led to the implosion of the family business. A compulsively readable story of class and privilege, betrayal and revenge—three decades in the making — The Spinach King explores the author’s complicated family legacy and dark corners of the American Dream.

Because taking a brave journey doesn't mean you have to be fearless. It means you know how to just keep going.

The name Easy Rawlins stirs excitement in the hearts of readers and fear in the hearts of his foes. His success has bought him a thriving detective agency, with its first female detective; a remote home, shared with children and pets and lovers, high atop the hills overlooking gritty Los Angeles; and more trouble, more problems, and more threat to those whom he loves.

If you’re struggling to get things done or meet your goals, the problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough, it’s that you’re trying in the first place.

When it comes to getting stuff done, we fall short more often than we like to admit. This can leave us feeling frustrated and ashamed, because despite trying our very best we can’t seem to meet our goals. Why? The surprising answer is ingeniously outlined in Stop Trying!: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More—an evolutionary guide that evokes the revelatory force of The Five-Second Rule and the sublime practicality of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Put simply, it turns out that trying is just an illusion for doing.

His film directing credits include Borat, Bruno, and The Dictator, the comic documentary Religulous (starring Bill Maher), and Masked and Anonymous (which he co-wrote with Bob Dylan who stars).
