Mentalligence
As the headlines warn of a world seemingly taking steps backward, behavioral scientist Kristen Lee shares a groundbreaking new psychology of thinking that will propel you forward with a fresh mind-set that inspires connection, collaboration, and creativity. Based on twenty-two years of clinical practice and neuro-scientific research. Dr. Kristen Lee teaches us how to rip up the script society hands us and to see the world through a series of different lenses: The Reflective Lens, The Mindful Lens, the Global Lens, and the Imagineering Lens. Through exercises, worksheets, and thought-provoking anecdotes and case studies, Lee teaches how to cultivate Upward Spiral Habits that are less I-focused and more we-focused, and that will make a positive difference in our circles and beyond. Rather than striving for preconceived notions of "success" that leave us boxed in, depleted, and oblivious to ways we can work together, Mentalligence helps us break out of our comfort zones, elevate our thinking, and develop the behavioral agility to work toward what Positive Psychologists call "The Good Life," one characterized by authentic connections and impact.
Losing the Way
A riveting and finely crafted true story, Losing the Way recounts how the daughter of East Coast intellectuals was recruited into a well-known rightwing Bible cult, The Way International, where she was manipulated, betrayed, and abused, before being rescued by the worldly mother she rejected. Skedgell shows how easily an idealistic young person can be swept away by a spiritual quest and the quiet malevolence lurking beneath the religious exterior of a false leader.
Lying Next to Me
No matter what you see, no matter what you've heard, assume nothing. Adam and Sophie Warner and their three-year-old daughter are vacationing in Washington State's Hood Canal for Memorial Day weekend. It's the perfect getaway to unplug--and to calm an uneasy marriage. But on Adam's first day out on the water, he sees Sophie abducted by a stranger. A hundred yards from shore, Adam can't save her. And Sophie disappears. In a nearby cabin is another couple, Kristen and Connor Moss. Unfortunately, beyond what they've heard in the news, they're in the dark when it comes to Sophie's disappearance. For Adam, at least there's comfort in knowing that Mason County detective Lee Husemann is an old friend of his. She'll do everything she can to help. She must. But as Adam's paranoia about his missing wife escalates, Lee puts together the pieces of a puzzle. The lives of the two couples are converging in unpredictable ways, and the picture is unsettling. Lee suspects that not everyone is telling the truth about what they know--or they have yet to reveal all the lies they've hidden from the strangers they married.
Asian Americans on Campus
While there are books on racism in universities, few examine the unique position of Asian American undergraduates. This new book captures the voices and experiences of Asian Americans navigating the currents of race, gender, and sexuality as factors in how youth construct relationships and identities.

The authors emphasize the students' resilience and their means of resistance for overcoming the impact of structural racism.
