    The Chris Voss Show Podcast – All Shook Up: A Novel by Enid Langbert

    All Shook Up: A Novel by Enid Langbert https://www.amazon.com/All-Shook-Up-Enid-Langbert/dp/1684632641 Enidlangbert.com This YA debut speaks to the continued interest in the teen culture of the 1950s—Elvis Presley, teenage rebellion—with a young girl embarking on adventure and music, ultimately uncovering family secrets. Being fourteen is especially hard in 1956, when the world is changing around you. Honor student Paula Levy was born into a family of historical victims: her mother’s youth was lost in the Depression and her father’s was destroyed in the Holocaust, an as-yet-unnamed event about which no one speaks. But Paula has heard the new music taking hold of the nation—rock and roll—and it has given her hope. And she has two friends to get her through life’s ups and downs: Holden Caulfield, hero of Catcher in the Rye, who shares her view of the world, and Barbara, a “cool” girl in her high school who unexpectedly shares Paula’s view of Holden. Paula’s mother is not a fan of Barbara, and she prohibits her daughter from associating with her. Paula manages to get around her mother’s rule and see Barbara anyway—but when Paula asks the wrong questions about her father’s past and Barbara is caught with her “boyfriend,” their private world of Holden, rock, and Elvis Presley crumbles. Angry with the adults in their lives, the two girls run away to find Barbara’s real father, a jazz musician. Disappointingly, he does not live in a mansion or socialize with Elvis—but Paula and Barbara may find something even better. About the author Enid Wolfe Langbert was not as adventurous as her protagonist, Paula, in high school, but she made up for it in the sixties by marching, sitting in, and raging against segregation and the war while, in her spare time, raising three children. Eventually, she went to law school. She loved zealously advocating for her clients as an attorney, whether they deserved it or not, until her husband became ill and she closed her practice to care for him. After he passed, she traveled widely and enrolled in an English literature master’s program. She is now writing her thesis, tracing the influence of James Joyce’s legal issues on his writing of Finnegans Wake—a topic about which she is unambiguously passionate. Enid lives in New York City.

    The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t by Dannah Eve

    Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t by Dannah Eve https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063438887 From the mindset you move with, to the habits you create, and the tools you carry—learn how to stay sharp, stay ready, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life! Dannah Eve has always been street smart, and for the past several years, she has been sharing her advice, self-defense strategies, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat—mastering situational awareness, calculated deception, and the art of always being ready. This is survival on your terms. These are just a few of the rules she lives by: Lie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety. On a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details—a Tinder match is not yet a trusted person. Living alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target. While commuting: Never leave any personal information visible—such as your workplace ID, nametag, or packages showing your address. On vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target. While driving: Never pull over for an unmarked vehicle; anyone can order police sirens and flashing lights online. At school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services. Online: Phishing emails, fake texts, scare tactics—don’t bite, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true, it’s probably a scam. At a concert or other public place: Plan your exit strategy before you need it. In an unpredictable and often frightening world, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition—and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence, you operate with authority—and that ripple effect can protect more than just you. About the author Dannah Eve is a trusted safety expert and digital creator known for her sharp instincts, real-world expertise, and engaging content that empowers women to navigate life with confidence. As a former D1 athlete and Summa Cum Laude graduate in Criminology and Psychology, she combines academic knowledge with street smarts to deliver life-saving insights to her rapidly growing audience of over 4 million followers across her social media platforms. Dannah’s content is equal parts informative and relatable, making safety feel approachable rather than overwhelming. As a mom, she’s passionate about sharing practical tips and personal experiences that resonate with the millions of loyal followers who turn to her for guidance. Her motto, live aware, not in fear, is the foundation of her mission. She lives in sunny Florida.
