Born of traditions of generosity rooted in many of our ancestral cultures, giving circles provide a way for us to overcome our sense of overwhelm at the many problems we face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1743085850092-UG1OAPEV8YDT9UCJETMV/Seek-How-Curiosity-Can-Transform-Your-Life-and-Save-the-World-Scott-Shigeoka-Book-Cover.jpg Home - Seek: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World by Scott Shigeoka Internationally recognized curiosity expert and bridge builder Scott Shigeoka knows that there’s only one cure: Deep Curiosity.

In Chatter, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. Interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his own lab with real-world case studies—from a pitcher who forgets how to pitch, to a Harvard undergrad negotiating her double life as a spy—Kross explains how these conversations shape our lives, work, and relationships. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls “chatter”—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635365815059-KEYMHHKEGS7IX0C6QD6Y/Cover-Image-The-Voltage-Effect-How-to-Make-Good-Ideas-Great-and-Great-Ideas-Scale-John-Listjpg.jpg Home - The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale by John A. List Be it a medical breakthrough, a policy initiative, a product innovation or a social movement, translating an idea into widespread impact depends on one thing only: whether it can be replicated at scale. "Scale" has become a favored buzzword in the startup world. But scale isn't just about accumulating more users or capturing more market share. It's about whether an idea that takes hold in a small group can do the same in a much larger one. Scalability is critical to everything from expanding a small business, to narrowing the national achievement gap, to delivering billions of doses of a vaccine, to making a new technology widely affordable—and much more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635365965291-ZCEX4KJOP6D05MT3ZIJG/Tiny-Habits-The-Small-Changes-that-Change-Everything-BJ-Fogg-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything by BJ Fogg In the widely-anticipated book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything, readers will discover the landmark Tiny Habits method that has helped thousands of people build their ideal lives. Tiny Habits—created by Dr. BJ Fogg, a world-renowned Behavior Scientist at Stanford University—is based on 20 years of research and Dr. Fogg’s experience personally coaching over 60,000 people. Unlike anything that’s come before, this system—what Dr. Fogg has coined “Behavior Design”—cracks the code of habit formation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635365979997-Y1P2O1ZSR1V1DK7PQSRW/The-Orchid-and-the-Dandelion-Why-Some-Children-Struggle-and-How-All-Can-Thrive-W-Thomas-Boyce-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - The Orchid and the Dandelion: Why Some Children Struggle and How All Can Thrive by W. Thomas Boyce A book that offers hope and a pathway to success for parents, teachers, psychologists, and child development experts coping with difficult children. In Tom Boyce's extraordinary book, he explores the "dandelion" child (hardy, resilient, healthy), able to survive and flourish under most circumstances, and the "orchid" child (sensitive, susceptible, fragile), who, given the right support, can thrive as much as, if not more than, other children. Boyce writes of his pathfinding research as a developmental pediatrician working with troubled children in child-development research for almost four decades and explores his major discovery that reveals how genetic make-up and environment shape behavior. He writes that certain variant genes can increase a person's susceptibility to depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and antisocial, sociopathic, or violent behaviors. But rather than seeing this "risk" gene as a liability, Boyce, through his daring research, has recast the way we think of human frailty and has shown that while these "bad" genes can create problems, they can also, in the right setting and the right environment, result in producing children who not only do better than before but far exceed their peers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635365986499-IK4DFOWU5WFNG3FU4KOS/The-Deepest-Well-Healing-the-Long-Term-Effects-of-Childhood-Adversity-Nadine-Burke-Harris-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Trauma and Adversity by Nadine Burke Harris Dr. Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was Diego—a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual assault—who galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic stress and lifelong illnesses. The stunning news of Burke Harris’s research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by ACEs—adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes our biological systems, and lasts a lifetime. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of children who do, the fascinating scientific insight and innovative, acclaimed health interventions in The Deepest Well represent vitally important hope for preventing lifelong illness for those we love and for generations to come?. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635366003064-U1G7AV14SIZNAR9MSB19/Deviate-The-Science-of-Seeing-Differently-Beau-Lotto-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently by Beau Lotto Beau Lotto, the world-renowned neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and two-time TED speaker, takes us on a tour of how we perceive the world, and how disrupting it leads us to create and innovate. Perception is the foundation of human experience, but few of us understand why we see what we do, much less how. By revealing the startling truths about the brain and its perceptions, Beau Lotto shows that the next big innovation is not a new technology: it is a new way of seeing. In his first major book, Lotto draws on over two decades of pioneering research to explain that our brain didn't evolve to see the world accurately. It can't! Visually stunning, with entertaining illustrations and optical illusions throughout, and with clear and comprehensive explanations of the science behind how our perceptions operate, Deviate will revolutionize the way you see yourself, others and the world. With this new understanding of how the brain functions, Deviate is not just an illuminating account of the neuroscience of thought, behavior, and creativity: it is a call to action, enlisting readers in their own journey of self-discovery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635366017944-XHYW76AGDDKK0CEFCW10/Before-You-Know-It-The-Unconscious-Reasons-We-Do-What-We-Do-John-Bargh-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do by John Bargh Dr. John Bargh, the world’s leading expert on the unconscious mind, presents a groundbreaking book, twenty years in the making, which gives us an entirely new understanding of the hidden mental processes that secretly govern every aspect of our behavior. For more than three decades, Dr. John Bargh has been responsible for the revolutionary research into the unconscious mind, research that informed bestsellers like Blink and Thinking Fast and Slow. Now, in what Dr. John Gottman said “will be the most important and exciting book in psychology that has been written in the past twenty years,” Dr. Bargh takes us on an entertaining and enlightening tour of the forces that affect everyday behavior while transforming our understanding of ourselves in profound ways. Telling personal anecdotes with infectious enthusiasm and disclosing startling and delightful discoveries, Dr. Bargh takes the reader into his labs at New York University and Yale where he and his colleagues have discovered how the unconscious guides our behavior, goals, and motivations in areas like race relations, parenting, business, consumer behavior, and addiction. He reveals what science now knows about the pervasive influence of the unconscious mind in who we choose to date or vote for, what we buy, where we live, how we perform on tests and in job interviews, and much more. Because the unconscious works in ways we are completely unaware of, Before You Know It is full of surprising and entertaining revelations as well as tricks to help you remember to-do items, shop smarter, and sleep better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1684067636361-UZFK70A6KCM2XFRI31L1/In-Their-Names-The-Untold-Story-of-Victims-Rights-Mass-Incarceration-and-the-Future-of-Public-Safety-Lenore-Anderson-Book-Cover.jpg Home - In Their Names: The Untold Story of Victims’ Rights, Mass Incarceration, and the Future of Public Safety by Lenore Anderson In Their Names busts open the public safety myth that uses victims’ rights to perpetuate mass incarceration, and offers a formula for what would actually make us safe, from the widely respected head of Alliance for Safety and Justice. When twenty-six-year-old recent college graduate Aswad Thomas was days away from starting a professional basketball career in 2009, he was shot twice while buying juice at a convenience store. The trauma left him in excruciating pain, with mounting medical debt, and struggling to cope with deep anxiety and fear. That was the same year the national incarceration rate peaked. Yet, despite thousands of new tough-on-crime policies and billions of new dollars pumped into “justice,” Aswad never received victim compensation, support, or even basic levels of concern. In the name of victims, justice bureaucracies ballooned while most victims remained on their own. In In Their Names, Lenore Anderson, president of one of the nation’s largest reform advocacy organizations, offers a close look at how the political call to help victims in the 1980s morphed into a demand for bigger bureaucracies and more incarceration, and cemented the long- standing chasm that exists between most victims and the justice system. She argues that the powerful myth that mass incarceration benefits victims obscures recognition of what most victims actually need, including addressing their trauma, which is a leading cause of subsequent violent crime. A solutions-oriented, paradigm-shifting book, In Their Names argues persuasively for closing the gap between our public safety systems and crime survivors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635366427623-QV5K7EQHL9DKP8DP0BH2/Maybe-You-Should-Talk-to-Someone-The-Workbook-Lori-Gottlieb-Cover-Image.jpg Home - Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: The Workbook: A Toolkit for Editing Your Story and Changing Your Life by Lori Gottlieb Based on the wildly acclaimed New York Times bestseller Maybe You Should Talk To Someone comes the official groundbreaking companion guide to discovering your most authentic life story.

An experience, a meditation, and a practical toolkit combined into one, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: The Workbook is the companion readers have been asking for: a revolutionary method for understanding which stories to keep and which to revise so that we can create our own personal masterpieces. By the end of this “unknowing,” you will be surprised, inspired, and most of all, liberated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1684067493550-EJ28GKBVNFEBI7HGAQUV/The-Future-We-Choose-Surviving-the-Climate-Crisis-Christiana-Figueres-Tom-Rivett-Carnac-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - The Future We Choose: The Stubborn Optimist's Guide to the Climate Crisis by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015. The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1635366054896-PV1XZF90Y4PEQSIKXKBO/Beyond-the-Messy-Truth-How-We-Came-Apart-How-We-Come-Togther-Van-Jones-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Home - Beyond the Messy Truth: How We Came Apart, How We Come Together by Van Jones NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A passionate manifesto that exposes hypocrisy on both sides of the political divide and points a way out of the tribalism that is tearing America apart—from the CNN host hailed as “a star of the 2016 campaign” (The New York Times), now seen on The Van Jones Show. Van Jones burst into the American consciousness during the 2016 presidential campaign with an unscripted, truth-telling style and an already established history of bridge-building across party lines. His election night commentary, during which he coined the term “whitelash,” became a viral sensation. A longtime progressive activist with deep roots in the conservative South, Jones has made it his mission to challenge voters and viewers to stand in one another’s shoes and disagree constructively. In Beyond the Messy Truth, he offers a blueprint for transforming our collective anxiety into meaningful change. Jones urges both parties to abandon the politics of accusation. He issues a stirring call for a new “bipartisanship from below,” pointing us toward practical answers to problems that affect us all regardless of region or ideology. He wants to tackle rural and inner-city poverty, unemployment, addiction, unfair incarceration, and the devastating effects of the pollution-based economy on both coal country and our urban centers. Along the way, Jones shares memories from his decades of activism on behalf of working people, inspiring stories of ordinary citizens who became champions of their communities, and little-known examples of cooperation in the midst of partisan conflict. In his quest for positive solutions, Van Jones encourages us to set fire to our old ways of thinking about politics and come together to help those most in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1684954852817-6KHR0C49JLE4XFXXYD40/Splash-Literary-Your-New-Book_Here-Cover.png Home Founded by Lauren Hamlin and Aaron Shulman, Splash is a literary coaching agency that works with authors, agents, and publishers to make sure important ideas and stories find hungry readers. https://www.splash-lit.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599747781812-FRP7C68TURDBWVQ06D8K/Chatter-The-Voice-in-Our-Heads-Why-It-Matters-and-How-to-Harness-It-Ethan-Kross-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Recent Books - Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It by Ethan Cross Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It by Ethan Cross book cover image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599747781812-FRP7C68TURDBWVQ06D8K/Chatter-The-Voice-in-Our-Heads-Why-It-Matters-and-How-to-Harness-It-Ethan-Kross-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Recent Books - Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It by Ethan Cross Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It by Ethan Cross book cover image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599747974913-DRB82A22X125TZT4MLYV/B06X6KMDMZ.01.MAIN._SCRM_.jpg Recent Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599749188578-QMYU7LGDJBNYFQ2I46MR/Before-You-Know-It-The-Unconscious-Reasons-We-Do-What-We-Do-John-Bargh-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Recent Books - Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do by John Bargh Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do by John Bargh book cover image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599747847138-5LO3F3Z72Z41T8D2PF84/B071YBGM1S.01.MAIN._SCRM_.jpg Recent Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599749231896-6PLLULM10M79W9QT56C3/Tiny-Habits-The-Small-Changes-that-Change-Everything-BJ-Fogg-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Recent Books - Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything by BJ Fogg Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything by BJ Fogg book cover image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599749229451-CH6QFOX768ELZWILCA3Q/The-Deepest-Well-Healing-the-Long-Term-Effects-of-Childhood-Adversity-Nadine-Burke-Harris-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Recent Books - The Deepest Well: Healing the Effects of Childhood Adversity by Nadine Burke Harris The Deepest Well: Healing the Effects of Childhood Adversity by Nadine Burke Harris book cover image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70384df368191621a205d0/1599749229449-3Q0V6WTHELBSV1YZXJKK/The-Orchid-and-the-Dandelion-Why-Some-Children-Struggle-and-How-All-Can-Thrive-W-Thomas-Boyce-Book-Cover-Image.jpg Recent Books - The Orchid and the Dandelion: Why Some Children Struggle and How All Can Thrive by W.
