Everyone knows Einstein. The hair. The tongue. The equation. But who was the man behind the myth? This isn’t a physics textbook. It’s a human story — of a boy who asked strange questions, a thinker who bent time, and a refugee who watched the world weaponize his mind.

It’s time to stop surviving and start thriving. Meg Josephson, MSW, will tell you how. In Are You Mad at Me?, Josephson explodes the idea that people-pleasing is a personality trait.
