In Defense of Love
"Rosenbaum offers a spirited and enjoyable defense of his version of love." —The Wall Street Journal A stirring manifesto on love in the modern age, now available for the first time in paperback: . . . In a work of ambition and brio, legendary journalist Ron Rosenbaum tackles his hardest topic yet: everyone's favorite four-letter word. He begins by investigating the neuroscience of love, arguing that our understanding of love is imperiled by quantification and algorithms, which distill our behavior into mathematical formulas, our personality into brain-chemical categories, and our curiosity into quiz questions. The very capacity that makes us human, Rosenbaum posits, is being taken over by...
Pathway to Freedom
Gloria Kelsey has experienced several traumatic events in her life, including a near-death experience at birth, an abusive and toxic marriage, and the death of her two children. Walking through the chapters of her life, you will discover how unresolved trauma built strongholds of insecurity, fear, and rejection within her soul. Agreeing with an oath of secrecy, and suppressing negative emotions, caused physical and psychological distress; blocking the healthy flow of energy within her body and creating an environment for disease to exist and develop. As Gloria travelled the healing path, she learned that many diseases originate from traumatic situations and that emotional memories from painf...
What Doesn't Kill You
‘A stellar cast of writers and thinkers’ Nathan Filer An explorer spends a decade preparing for an expedition to the South Pole; what happens when you live for a goal, but once it’s been accomplished, you discover it’s not enough? A successful broadcast journalist ends up broke, drunk and sleeping rough; what makes alcohol so hard to resist despite its ruinous consequences? A teenage girl tries to disappear by starving herself; what is this force that compels so many women to reduce their size so drastically? In this essay collection, writers share the struggles that have shaped their lives – loss, depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, identity and others. But as they take you on a journey to the darkest recesses of their mind, the authors grapple with challenges that haunt us all.
Raising LGBTQ Allies
“[A] powerful treatise on creating a more accepting world.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Creating LGBTQ allies happens one child at a time. And it begins with each of us. Raising LGBTQ Allies sheds light on the deeper, multi-faceted layers of homophobia. It opens up a conversation with parents around the possibility they may have an LGBTQ child and shows how heteronormativity can be harmful if not addressed clearly and early. Although not every parent will have an LGBTQ child, their child will jump rope or play tag with a child who is LGBTQ. By showing readers the importance of having open and authentic conversations with children at a young age, Chris Tompkins walks parents thr...

Il secolo della solitudine
Il XXI secolo è il secolo della solitudine. Noreena Hertz lo sperimenta in prima persona: a un colloquio di lavoro viene valutata da un algoritmo; un pomeriggio fa shopping con un'«amica del cuore» affittata tramite un servizio online; di sera si trova a sfiorare la pelle artificiale di un robot progettato per essere il suo animale da compagnia. La solitudine che Noreena Hertz racconta non si limita alla frustrazione del desiderio di avere qualcuno vici- no; è un male sottile che si è insinuato dentro di noi e ha permeato ogni aspetto della nostra società. È la solitudine strutturale creata dal sistema capitalistico, che ci spinge a pensare solo a noi stessi e a vedere gli altri come ...
Secolul singuratatii
Traducere de Simona‑Maria Onciu Una dintre cele mai bune cărți ale anului conform publicațiilor Wired și The Daily Telegraph și, potrivit Inc., una dintre cele mai bune 25 de cărți ale speakerilor TED. Rezultat a peste zece ani de cercetare, Secolul singurătății ne arată cum dependența de tehnologie, schimbările majore de la locul de muncă și deceniile de politici publice care au pus pe primul loc interesele de grup, iar nu binele general, ne-au afectat comunitățile și ne-au făcut să fim mai izolați ca niciodată. Distanțarea socială poate deveni punctul de cotitură al luptei noastre împotriva epidemiei de singurătate, iar Noreena Hertz propune în Secolul singurătății o viziune limpede cu privire la ce avem de făcut pentru a vindeca această lume dezbinată. „O carte menită să devină clasică.“ — NOURIEL ROUBINI „Reputația de care se bucură Secolul singurătății este pe deplin meritată.“ — Financial Times
