Brad Bell and Jane Espenson - Inventing Television: How Husbands Fully Realizes the Promise
TV writer Jane Espenson (Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Once Upon a Time), and Brad "Cheeks" Bell spoke at Google about their online sitcom, Husbands, just days after the start of the second season. The critically acclaimed series is a fresh take on a Vegas marriage, and features guest stars from Joss Whedon shows, including Joss himself, and from Battlestar Galactica. Jane spoke earlier this year at Google, when Husbands was still in its first season. Now, Jane and Brad share many more insights about what has and hasn't worked with their successful, self-started YouTube series, and what it spells for the future of online TV. In Brad's words: "Together, Jane and I combine ready-made and complementary high-level insights. Having been completely immersed in the realm of new media entertainment this last year, we've learned much more, both as creators and as audience members. It's brought to light a fresh vision about the future of content development online -- how it's being done right, how it fails, and how it can thrive."

Authors at Google: Dwyane Wade - "A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball"
"A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball" Dwyane Wade, the eight-time All-Star for the Miami Heat, has miraculously defied the odds throughout his career and his life. In 2006, in just his third season in the NBA, Dwyane was named the Finals' MVP, after leading the Miami Heat to the Championship title, basketball's ultimate prize. Two years later, after possible career-ending injuries, he again rose from the ashes of doubt to help win a gold medal for the United States at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. As co-captain, he helped lead the Heat to triumph in the 2012 NBA Championship. Little wonder that legendary coach Pat Riley has called Dwyane "BIW"%mdashBest In the World. As incredible as those achievements have been, it's off the court where Dwyane has sought his most cherished goal: being a good dad to his sons, Zaire and Zion, by playing a meaningful role in their lives. Recounting his fatherhood journey, Dwyane begins his story in March 2011 with the news that after a long, bitter custody battle, he has been awarded sole custody of his sons in a virtually unprecedented court decision. A Father First chronicles the lessons Dwyane has learned as a single dad from the moment of the judge's ruling that instantly changed his life and the lives of his boys, and then back to the events in the past that shaped his dreams, prayers, and promises. In A Father First, we meet the coaches, mentors, and teammates who played pivotal roles in Dwyane's stunning basketball ...

Charles Eisenstein: Authors at Google
"Charles Eisenstein is a visionary scholar who maps economics, science, philosophy, psychology, and the history of civilization onto our daily activities, with inquiries like, 'How should we live?' 'What's really important?' 'How can our relationship to money be transformed?' He is the author of ""The Yoga of Eating"", ""Ascent of Humanity"", and ""Sacred Economics"". Sacred Economics is Eisenstein's exploration of the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, where he reveals how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with "right livelihood" and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. Tapping into a rich lineage of conventional and unconventional economic thought, Sacred Economics presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen and we move into a new age, a new way of being with each other and our planet. Eisenstein graduated from Yale University in 1989 with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, and spent the next ten ...

Authors@Google: Michelle Loyalka - Eating Bitterness
Every year over 200 million peasants flock to China's urban centers, providing a profusion of cheap labor that helps fuel the country's staggering economic growth. Eating Bitterness: Stories from the Frontlines of China's Great Urban Migration takes readers into the lives of eight rural migrants who have come to Xi'an in pursuit of the newly-imported American Dream. By day each of them finds opportunity in the bustling High-Tech Zone, but by night their lives play out mainly in the dilapidated old village of Gan Jia Zhai. The book is structured to show in rough progression how successfully these individuals assimilate into city life and how conflicted the relationships between their familiar rural roots and newly-minted urban aspirations become. Each chapter introduces a new story and a new set of social issues that, taken together, present a panorama of what it means to embark on the migrant journey. Eating Bitterness starts with a family of vegetable vendors who would like to return to the countryside but believe only a lifetime of urban labor will open the doors of opportunity for their young daughter. It follows an itinerant knife sharpener who is painfully aware that he represents a rapidly dying breed in the New China; a group of teenaged beauty-industry poster girls who are eager to forget all things old in pursuit of their new material dreams but have no idea how or where to begin; a free-spirited recycler who drifts from job to job just waiting to find an ...

Authors@Google: Eric Klinenberg | "Going Solo..."
"Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone" In 1950, only 22 percent of American adults were single. Today, more than 50 percent of American adults are single, and 31 million%mdashroughly one out of every seven adults%mdashlive alone. People who live alone make up 28 percent of all US households, which makes them more common than any other domestic unit, including the nuclear family. In GOING SOLO, renowned sociologist and author Eric Klinenberg proves that these numbers are more than just a passing trend. They are, in fact, evidence of the biggest demographic shift since the Baby Boom: we are learning to go solo, and crafting new ways of living in the process. Klinenberg explores the dramatic rise of solo living, and examines the seismic impact it's having on our culture, business, and politics. Though conventional wisdom tells us that living by oneself leads to loneliness and isolation, Klinenberg shows that most solo dwellers are deeply engaged in social and civic life. In fact, compared with their married counterparts, they are more likely to eat out and exercise, go to art and music classes, attend public events and lectures, and volunteer. There's even evidence that people who live alone enjoy better mental health than unmarried people who live with others and have more environmentally sustainable lifestyles than families, since they favor urban apartments over large suburban homes. Drawing on over three hundred in-depth interviews with men and ... From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 2829 27 ratings Time: 46:13 More in Science & Technology

Chefs@Google: Marcus Samuelsson | "Yes, Chef"
Marcus Samuelsson, winner of Top Chef Masters and chef and owner of NYC's beloved Red Rooster Harlem (www.redroosterharlem.com), released his first memoir on June 26th, 2012. Yes, Chef chronicles Marcus' journey from his grandmother Helga's kitchen to some of the most demanding restaurants in Switzerland and France, stints on cruise ships and ultimately, his arrival to NYC, where at Aquavit, he earned a coveted three-star rating from The New York Times at the age of 24, making him the youngest chef ever to receive such an accolade. But Samuelsson's career of "chasing flavors," as he calls it, had only just begun. In intervening years, there have been White House State dinners, personal crises, public failures, reality show triumphs and the opening of his beloved Red Rooster in Harlem, where Samuelsson has finally fulfilled his dream of creating a truly diverse and vibrant dining room%mdasha place where presidents and prime ministers rub elbows with jazz musicians, aspiring artists, bus drivers, and nurses. It is a place where an orphan born in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home. In conversation with Anjali Kumar at Google NYC.

Karuna Cayton: The Misleading Mind, Authors at Google
Psychotherapist and author Karuna Cayton talks about his book The MIsleading Mind: How We Create Our Own Problems and How Buddhist Psychology Can Help Us Solve Them. He introduces a process for working with, rather than against, depression, anxiety, and stress by recognizing the habitual ways our minds perceive, react, and ultimately mislead us. He also presents practical exercises for stepping onto the path of a radically liberating self-understanding. While the essence of the wisdom he presents is central to Buddhism, he covers it in a way that is accessible to all. KARUNA CAYTON is the author of The Misleading Mind. He's a psychotherapist who spent twelve years working with Tibetan refugees in Nepal and studying with Buddhist masters. His Karuna Group practice applies Buddhist psychology to individual and organizational clients.

RA Salvatore: Charon's Claw (Neverwinter Saga Book III), Authors at Google
You can check out Bob's Hangout with fans on Google Play here: www.youtube.com --------------------- In the 3rd book of the #4 New York Times best-selling Neverwinter Saga, Drizzt draws his swords once more to aid his friends. His lover, Dahlia Sin'felle, can speak of nothing but the moment she will face the Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni once again. Drizzt has already followed a trail of vengeance beside Dahlia. Can he justify one more battle to settle a grudge he does not understand? Artemis Entreri too seeks vengeance. He offers to aid Dahlia in her mission to destroy Alegni. But Charon's Claw, Alegni's sentient sword, dominates Entreri's movements%mdashif not his mind. And then there's the way Entreri looks at Dahlia. Can Drizzt trust his old foe? About the Author: RA Salvatore's love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of JRR Tolkien'sThe Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990. His books regularly appear on The New ...
