https://www.alainguillot.com/lisa-selin-davis/ We are in the middle of a cultural revolution, where the spectrum of gender and sexual identities is seemingly unlimited. So when author and journalist Lisa Selin Davis's six-year-old daughter first called herself a "tomboy," Davis was hesitant. Her child favored sweatpants and T-shirts over anything pink or princess-themed, just like the sporty, skinned-kneed girls Davis had played with as a kid. But "tomboy" seemed like an outdated word-why use a word with "boy" in it for such girls at all?

https://www.alainguillot.com/christie-tate Christie Tate had just been named the top student in her law school class and finally had her eating disorder under control. Why then was she driving through Chicago fantasizing about her own death? Why was she envisioning putting an end to the isolation and sadness that still plagued her despite her achievements? “I wished passively for death, but I didn’t stockpile pills or join the Hemlock Society’s mailing list. I didn’t research how to get a gun or fashion a noose out of my belts. I didn’t have a plan, a method, or a date. But I felt an unease, constant as a toothache. It didn’t feel normal.” Get your book right here: https://amzn.to/3maG50a

She shared the stage with luminaries like John Mayer, The Beach Boys, Los Lobos, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin.

https://www.alainguillot.com/jc-de-swaan/ When we think of the world of finance, we think of movies like Wall Street where brokers get rich with inside information, or The Wolf of Wall Street where people in boiler rooms manipulate stock prices so that they can make an artificial profit. Or real-life corporations like Goldman Sacks who were bailed out by the government with taxpayers money (capitalism on the way up and socialism on the way down), or banks like Wells Fargo who created fake bank accounts without their client’s consent. But Jean Christophe de Swaan, a lecturer at Princeton University and partner at a hedge fund, decided to write a book highlighting the virtuous of individuals and corporations in the world of finance.

https://www.alainguillot.com/neal-winokur/ Have you ever been frustrated with the tax system? If the government already has all the information about you, and they have fancy computers, why do regular individuals have to file an income tax every year? His book, The Grumpy Accountant, is written in plain, easy-to-read language so every single Canadian can understand. We will see how Jerry, a fictional character symbolizing the average Canadian, experiences the inefficiency of the tax system as a student, an employee, a married man, a parent, an entrepreneur, a retiree, and even as a dead guy as he is taxed beyond the grave. Those were the questions going over and over through Neal Winokur’s head and the more he thought about it the more grumpy he became, and thus he became The Grumpy Accountant.  

https://www.alainguillot.com/local-bookstore/ Interview with the owner of a local bookstore. Yes, we can get a book on Amazon in two days, but do we want to live in a world where there are no local businesses? When we support local businesses, we support the communities around us. We support local jobs and local taxes. Our local businesses give charm and character to our neighborhoods. They need our help. Jeff Bezos will not suffer if you don't spend the next $20 on Amazon, but for our local businesses, it could mean the difference between covering rent or not.
