Her novels have sold more than six million copies and have been translated into over twenty languages. The Last Thing He Told Me is now a series on Apple TV+\, and two of her other novels are set to be feature films at Netflix. \n“Jamie Lynn’s beautiful\, uplifting memoir is a testament to resilience and grace. She shows us how to heal\, forgive\, and begin again.” – Robin Roberts \nJamie Lynn Sigler is both the girl-next-door and a superstar. At the the young age of sixteen she was tapped to star as Meadow Soprano\, daughter of mob boss Tony Soprano. By the time the series ended in 2007\, Jamie\, then twenty-five\, suffered from an eating disorder\, kept private her diagnosis of MS\, and entered a disastrous early marriage—all under the scrutiny of a less-than-kind public eye. Over the next years\, Jamie would remarry\, become a mother\, launch a hugely popular podcast and\, most recently\, nearly lose her beloved son to a mysterious illness. \nAmidst the stardust showered and all the slings and arrows that life has thrown\, Sigler emerges with grace and a generosity of spirit that she is ready to share. In this moving and fiercely honest memoir\, she reflects on her life and her years on The Sopranos. But this is no tale of woe; Jamie guides us through her darkest moments and comes out the other side emboldened and not embittered. A natural storyteller\, she shares memories of her time portraying Meadow Soprano and beyond\, including her often painful journey of self-discovery. In this unflinching account\, Jamie holds nothing back; her resilience\, candor\, and her heart-bursting capacity for love shine through on every page. \nAnd So It Is… offers the best of memoir from a cherished voice that invites us to share the most challenging and equally blessed moments of life’s journey. A triumphant story from one of America’s favorite stars.

He has master’s degrees in environmental science and journalism and has worked as a senior writer for Sports Illustrated and as an investigative reporter for ProPublica. \nEric Barker is the author of The Wall Street Journal bestseller Barking Up the Wrong Tree\, which has been translated into 19 languages and was even the subject of a question on “Jeopardy!” Over 500\,000 people have subscribed to his newsletter.

His latest bestseller\, Plays Well with Others\, was released by HarperCollins in May of 2022..“David Epstein is one of my favorite writers\, and Inside the Box is my favorite of his books—wonderfully personal\, blessedly practical\, full of stories I found myself retelling. A gift for anyone who\, like me\, needs to be reminded that less can be more.”—Angela Duckworth\, bestselling author of Grit.We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do\, who to be\, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing\, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact\, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction. \nDavid Epstein argues that all of us—individuals\, businesses\, institutions\, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints\, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial\, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation. \nOriginal\, galvanizing\, and deeply researched\, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves\, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs\, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative\, productive\, and satisfied version of yourself.
