Before gods had names, temples had altars, and books were called holy, we were staring into the storm and searching for meaning. From prehistoric burials and animistic spirits to sacred texts, televangelists, cults, algorithms, and Instagram astrology, Religion 101 traces the full arc of human faith in all its glory and violence. In this punchy history, JJ breaks down the world’s oldest force: not by preaching, but by exploring. You’ll meet prophets, kings, gods, heretics, influencers, and follow belief as it evolves into systems of power, identity, community, and content.

BUILT FROM BURGERS is a clear, sharp, and wildly listenable walkthrough of how life actually works. From DNA to digestion, from cell division to consciousness. No fluff. No filler. Just the full biological blueprint of you, explained molecule by molecule. This isn’t a textbook. It’s a systems manual. Inside, you’ll learn how your body builds itself from atoms, why proteins do everything, how cells specialize, how your brain talks to your gut, and what happens when it all breaks down.

What if reality doesn’t exist until you look at it? Quantum physics started as a fix for a math problem. Then it spiraled into the most accurate and most unsettling theory in science. This is the story of how we figured it out. From Planck’s desperate fudge to Feynman’s diagrams, from Schrödinger’s cat to the many-worlds interpretation, Quantum 101 walks you through every milestone of the quantum revolution. No mysticism. No equations without meaning. Just the actual story, told in a way that makes sense. Discover why particles tunnel through walls. Why entanglement breaks space.

Oops, All Atoms is a walk through what materialism actually means. Not in theory, but in practice. From love to morality to death, this book shows what breaks when you treat human beings like meat computers. James Johnson runs the model to its logical conclusion, and then dares to ask what’s on the other side of it. If you’ve ever felt like something about this world is off, you’re not alone. You’re just not made of atoms alone.

You’ve seen the red string. You’ve heard the word. But you’ve never seen Kabbalah like this. KABBALAH: The Code Behind Creation isn’t a self-help book or a watered-down celebrity guide. It’s a walk through the original system, the hidden structure underneath Judaism, language, magic, and the universe itself. This book breaks down the real Kabbalah. From divine blueprints and shattered vessels to mystical alphabets, mud men, cosmic repair missions, and the infinite nothingness that came before God.

Race isn’t real. But it changed the world. This book is the full history of how, and why, we made it up. From ancient tribal instincts to Enlightenment pseudoscience, from slavery and empire to redlining and algorithmic bias, Black and White walks through the invention of race as a system: where it started, how it spread, and why it still shapes everything. Biology didn’t create race. Power did. And the only way to dismantle the system is to understand how it was built. Brutal, clear, and global in scope, Black and White is a bullet through the myth and a blueprint for seeing through the lie.

From fire to fallout, potions to polymers — this is the story of how we figured out what everything is made of. Chemistry 101 isn’t your high school textbook. It’s a walkthrough of how humans turned mystery into mastery. You’ll meet alchemists chasing gold, scientists splitting atoms, and modern chemists designing synthetic realities out of carbon and code. Packed with stories, structure, and the messy human drive to mix, burn, and bottle the universe, this book walks you through the wild history of reactions — from ancient smelting pits to lab-grown meat and CRISPR edits.

What does it mean to wake up? Not spiritually. Not metaphorically. Literally — to become so clear, so present, so aware that the illusion of separation burns away and reality is seen for what it is. This book is about the ones who did. From Siddhartha under the Bodhi tree to Eckhart on the park bench, from Rumi’s spinning silence to Jung’s shadowed inner world — The Ones Who Woke Up is a soul-piercing walk through a few of the most conscious human beings to ever live. They didn’t seek followers. They didn’t chase fame.

He nailed a piece of paper to a door and split the Christian world in half. Martin Luther wasn’t trying to become a legend. He was trying to survive damnation, out-argue indulgence sellers, and maybe, just maybe, figure out how to get into Heaven. But what began as one monk’s spiritual meltdown became the spark that torched a millennium of Catholic power. MARTIN LUTHER: The Monk Who Broke the Church tells the full, unfiltered story of the man who stood up to popes, flipped the Bible into German, married a runaway nun, and set Europe on fire.

One man sat under a tree. The world has never been the same. BUDDHISM: The Path That Rewrote Reality is not just the story of Siddhartha Gautama. It’s the story of what happened next. How a method for ending suffering became a global revolution in consciousness. From forest monks and ink-drawing Zen masters to tantric rituals and Silicon Valley mindfulness, this is the full arc of Buddhism as a living, shifting, silence-centered system. Empires rose around it. Wars tried to erase it. Tech tried to rebrand it. But the core never changed. Sit. Breathe. Look at your mind.

Leviathans stride the poetic stage, known to us all and revered by many. Their verse is at once familiar and yet constantly reveals new layers and depths, new ways of thinking and assembling words to reveal new truths, new feelings and above all new poetry.

This is the story of the NSA — the agency you weren’t supposed to know existed, quietly building the largest surveillance machine in human history, run by math nerds, funded by fear, and powered by your private life. From Cold War cables to smart phone wiretaps, secret courts to predictive policing, The NSA: The World’s Most Powerful Perverts is a sharp, sarcastic, and disturbingly true deep dive into how one agency went from “born bugged” to watching everyone, all the time, forever.

Before there were banks, coins, or crash warnings — there was trust, trade, and the primal instinct of value. Economics 101 doesn’t teach you how to ace a test. It shows you how the entire game got built. From mammoth meat to crypto scams, feudal tithes to stock buybacks, this book walks you through the messy, mythological, totally human story of how money came to rule everything around us. It’s not about charts or jargon. It’s about why the world works the way it does — and what happens when the story of value starts to fall apart.

He ruled for sixty-seven years. Built temples that dwarfed time. Fought the greatest chariot battle in history. Buried sons. Married goddesses. Made peace with empires. Rewrote the past. Refused to die. And three thousand years later, we’re still saying his name. RAMSES: The Pharaoh Who Wouldn’t Die is the story of Egypt’s loudest legend. The builder-king who turned himself into a monument, refused to step down, and became a god before his heart even stopped beating.

For over sixty years, the United States tried everything to bring Cuba to its knees. Invasions, embargoes, sabotage, propaganda, and over six hundred assassination attempts. None of it worked.

From the sugar empire and Mafia casinos to the rise of Fidel Castro and the missile crisis that nearly ended the world, this book traces the full arc of Cuba’s revolutionary saga and the decades-long grudge match with the most powerful nation on Earth.

Why does Africa look like it was divided by a toddler with a ruler? Why does Canada still technically report to a king? Why does Chile look like a linguine noodle, and why is there a whole country inside Italy? This is not an atlas. This is the story of how the map got made — badly. From ancient empires to colonial chaos, from revolutions to real estate deals, The Borders Book takes you on a wild, bloody, and often ridiculous journey through the history of how every country on Earth got its shape. Some were forged in war. Others were drawn in pencil by people who’d never even been there.

Stephen Hawking was supposed to be dead by 23. Diagnosed with ALS at Cambridge and given just two years to live, he lost his voice, his mobility, and nearly every physical function — but never his fire. Instead of fading, he rewrote the universe. From black holes to Big Bangs, radiation to multiverses, Hawking transformed modern physics with a single cheek muscle and a voice made of code. He became the most famous scientist alive — not just for what he survived, but for what he discovered.

Thanksgiving is one of America’s oldest traditions — but the story we tell about it is mostly myth. Thanks, But No Thanks walks through the real origins of the holiday, from the Indigenous nations who lived here long before the Pilgrims arrived, to the 1621 harvest feast, to the centuries of change that shaped Thanksgiving into what it is today. Along the way, it explores the wars, treaties, proclamations, school plays, family rituals, and cultural rewrites that turned a single event into a national tradition.

TAYLOR SWIFT: The Making of a Pop Machine is the real story of how a Pennsylvania girl with a dream became a billion-dollar brand, a streaming superpower, and the most influential artist of her generation.

This isn’t just a pop star biography. It’s a business case study, a cultural timeline, and a reminder that no one weaponized heartbreak better than Taylor Swift.

Math 101: A History of Numbers isn’t a textbook — it’s a story. A fast, listenable, journey through how we went from counting on our fingers to coding AI. From ancient bone tallies and Sumerian tokens to Renaissance ratios, algebraic revolutions, and modern machine logic, this book tracks the true evolution of math — not as cold formulas, but as a living system we built to make sense of the world.
