A Little Closer to Home
In Ginger Zee's follow-up to the bestselling Natural Disaster, the ABC chief meteorologist takes readers on a much deeper journey of self discovery. When Ginger Zee opened her life to readers in Natural Disaster, the response was enormous. She put a very relatable if surprising face on depression and has helped lessen the stigma surrounding mental health issues. But Ginger tells us, Natural Disaster was "Ginger Lite" and only scratched the surface. In this moving follow-up, Ginger shares her truest self. She spent most of her life shielding her vulnerabilities from the world all while being a professional people pleaser. Her stormy childhood, her ongoing struggles with crippling depression, her suicide attempts, and many other life experiences will resonate with readers who are likely to see themselves along the way. In spite of its serious subject matter, Ginger's positive, life-affirming outlook comes through loud and clear. Written with great heart and quite a bit of humor, Ginger normalizes issues and challenges millions of people face every day. A Little Closer to Home will broaden the conversation around mental health at a time we need it more than ever.
Summary of Ginger Zee's Natural Disaster
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 It can be difficult for women to break off engagements. We are often told that our ambivalence toward marriage is something we must work through, so we don’t get left behind and spend the rest of our lives with a bunch of cats and a freezer full of Lean Cuisine. #2 I was working as a reporter and meteorologist at WOOD TV in my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was not happy at my job, and I was constantly on the lookout for something better. I was in love with Joe, and we were getting married. #3 I could not marry Joe. I had done it together with him less than twenty-four hours before, and I couldn’t bring myself to hurt him like that. I told him the truth, and he was able to move through all the stages of grief in less than thirty minutes. #4 I was very hungry, and I had been subsisting on a rabbit’s diet of just a fistful of carrots each day. I had been cavemaning it up, and my oma, Hilda, had given me permission to say no to the wedding.

The Right Way to Flourish
In this ground-breaking book, pre-eminent thought leader in the fields of sustainability and flourishing, John R. Ehrenfeld, critiques the concept of sustainability as it is understood today and which is coming more and more under attack as unclear and ineffective as a call for action. Building upon the recent work of cognitive scientist, Iain McGilchrist, who argues that the human brain’s two hemispheres present distinct different worlds, this book articulates how society must replace the current foundational left-brain-based beliefs – a mechanistic world and a human driven by self interest – with new ones based on complexity and care. Flourishing should replace the lifeless metrics now being used to guide business and government, as well as individuals. Until we accept that our modern belief structure is, itself, the barrier, we will continue to be mired in an endless succession of unsolved problems.
