The Tao of Equus (revised): A Woman's Journey of Healing and Transformation through the Way of the Horse
by Linda KohanovAfter more than 20 years in print, an updated edition of the evocative and transformational classic about the powerful bond between women and horses When Linda Kohanov wrote The Tao of Equus over twenty years ago, she posed questions that few were asking: Do horses make choices? How do they seem to know what people are thinking and feeling? Are horses spiritual beings? What do they have to teach people? Why are women so attracted to horses? The answers, detailed in this extraordinary chronicle that synthesizes science, behavioral research, and personal insight, transformed how we think about one of humanity’s oldest companions and established Kohanov at the vanguard of the emerging field of animal-assisted learning/therapy. In this updated edition, Kohanov weaves new developments in neurological science and scholarship into her original exploration of spiritual awakening, cultural history, and mythology. The Tao of Equus delves into the mental and spiritual processes behind the magical connections that people often experience with horses. It remains a powerful exploration of the feminine wisdom horses model, subtleties that women riders have intuited for centuries.
Hypochondria: What's Behind the Hidden Costs of Healthcare in America
by Hal Rosenbluth Marnie HallA hypochondriac CEO shares his journey through the broken American healthcare system, analyzing its costliness and proposing a solution.New York Times–bestselling author Hal Rosenbluth is the maverick executive behind Take Care Health Systems, the former president of Walgreens Health and Wellness and the now chairman and CEO of New Ocean Health Solutions. He is also a hypochondriac who amassed 227 medical claims in just two years. In Hypochondria: What&’s Behind the Hidden Costs of Healthcare in America, Rosenbluth and co-author Marnie Hall venture through Rosenbluth&’s 227 claims. They take a brutally honest, but humorous journey from the evolution of Rosenbluth&’s global management firm to his onset of Type 2 Diabetes, a tale woven with sleeping meds, nocturnal PB&J sandwiches, and anti-anxiety drugs; to founding a company with the youngest Johnson & Johnson president and his most recent entry to digital healthcare.Hypochondria is not just a memoir. Along the way, the authors address the broader impact that each stakeholder—health plans, providers, health systems, and big pharma—have on the nation&’s overstressed healthcare system. The book also offers a well-rounded guide to the traditional and not-so-typical solutions that can help people manage illness anxiety. Entertaining and enlightening, Hypochondria opens a new dialogue about how the U.S. can get better at managing health and arresting costs of care, which includes promoting greater discussion amongst patients, families, providers, employers, and healthcare executives. This book should serve as a beacon for change, unraveling the commercialization of healthcare, dissecting Big Pharma&’s role in America&’s pill-popping culture, and proposing alternative, disruptive solutions.

The Price She Pays: Confronting the Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Women's Sports—from the Schoolyard to the Stadium
by Katie Steele Tiffany BrownTwo experts in mental health and sport lift the veil on the crisis in women&’s athletics, offering parents and coaches urgently needed advice and support and showing how female athletes can find joy in whatever sport they choose, at whatever level they compete. No matter the sport, the message to girls and women is the same: Be aggressive, but not too aggressive. Win at all costs, but be polite while doing it. Get strong, but not too big. Female athletes have long been conditioned to perform under these standards, gracefully and without complaints. Yet, behind the scenes, female athletes are suffering from disordered eating and substance use; depression and anxiety; emotional and sexual abuse; racism and discrimination; self-harm, and even suicide ideation. When global tennis star Naomi Osaka and gymnastics world champion Simone Biles took breaks from competing to tend to their mental health, many were compelled to ask: What is causing this mental health crisis in women&’s sports? In this urgent yet &“hopeful roadmap for systemic change.&” (Jessica Mendoza, Olympic medalist), Katie Steele and Dr. Tiffany Brown illuminate where we are going wrong—and how we can correct course. Through first-hand accounts, research, and reporting, they reveal the deep layers of trauma and mistreatment women experience in their pursuit of excellence in sport. They show parents, coaches, and athletes how to recognize the signs of mistreatment and mental health issues, and reveal how, by focusing on the wellbeing of the whole person—not just the athlete—we can provide women and girls with the support they need to thrive, in whatever sport they choose, at whatever level they compete.

Systemic: How Racism Is Making Us Sick
by Layal LiverpoolIn the spirit of Medical Apartheid and Killing the Black Body; A science-based, data-driven, and global exploration of racial disparities in health care access by virologist, immunologist, and science journalist Layal Liverpool.Layal Liverpool spent years as a teen bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she&’d grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick.The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, Liverpool shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, Liverpool goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer.From the problem of racial bias in medicine where the default human subject is white, to the dangerous health consequences of systemic racism, from the physical and psychological effects of daily microaggressions to intergenerational trauma and data gaps, Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.
Women of Tarot: An Illustrated History of Divinators, Card Readers, and Mystics
by Cat WillettDiscover the hidden stories of tarot and divination—traced through the lives and contributions of Lady Frieda Harris, Marie Anne Lenormand, Pamela Colman Smith, and Rachel Pollack—in this vividly illustrated popular history of the cards. Tarot's storied history takes us from the highest circles of Italian Renaissance society through to present day card creators. And throughout that time, women have been the primary drivers of both artistic and magical innovation in the form, though they haven't always been given adequate credit for doing so. Now, for the first time, readers can explore the lives and work of some of the women who have brought us the word's most popular divinatory art. In Women of Tarot celebrated artist and author Cat Willett traces the lives of four women who have pioneered work in tarot and divination. There is Lady Frieda Harris, the nineteenth century British artist and mystic who created the Thoth Tarot with the occultist Aleister Crowley, and Marie Anne Lenormand, the most celebrated fortune teller of eighteenth century France, who brought card reading to the masses. Then readers will meet Pamela Colman Smith, the iconic cross-continental artist whose illustrations adorn the world's most popular tarot deck—the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck—and finally Rachel Pollack, the trans woman responsible for creating scores of decks in her lifetime, as she strove to make tarot an art that was inclusive of all practitioners, especially the LGBTQIA+ community. Woven throughout is a timeline of the development of tarot, as well as miniature profiles of women from cultures around the world whose work has impacted divination and fortune telling, including Nefertiti, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans Marie Laveau, author Zora Neale Hurston, and contemporary artist Nanse Kawashima.

Cómo lograr tus sueños y metas
by Dave McAllenEn esta generación que define la obsesión por los consejos, un gran autor se abre camino para mostrarnos cómo dejar de intentar ser "perfectos" todo el tiempo para que podamos alcanzar nuestro máximo potencial y ser personas más felices. La historia ha estado repleta de consejos para actuar, comportarse y hacer las cosas perfectamente, logrados a través de la imitación de mentores. Por lo tanto, existen jueces y profetas que dicen si te irá bien en la vida, si sobresaldrás en una carrera y qué es lo que tienes. Pero Dave tiene hechos crudos y una verdad refrescante para ti: "Gobierna tu destino tú mismo". Cómo lograr tus sueños y metas es su antídoto para la mentalidad mimada y libre de prejuicios que ha infectado al mundo y reconfigurado una generación, beneficiándola con cada perla de alto valor. Dave no está de acuerdo en que, corroborado tanto por la investigación histórica como por ejemplos oportunos, que la gente de éxito se convierta en lo que es hoy depende no de la capacidad de los patrocinadores y los conocedores para predecir nuestro destino con precisión, sino de aprender a descubrirse a sí mismo y mantenerse centrado en nuestros sueños. Todos los humanos tienen debilidades y defectos, con pérdidas y ganancias, altas y bajas, grandes y pequeñas - no todos podemos llegar a ser sobresalientes y grandes. Pero es un desastre mayor si se cambia la dirección natural de nuestra vida. Dave nos aconseja que hagamos un estudio profundo de nosotros mismos para empezar a ser justos con lo que estamos hechos para ser. Una vez hecho esto, abraza tu personalidad en general y deja de poner tu destino en manos de otras personas, ya sean tus compañeros, padres, profesores, etc. Construye el valor, evita los sentimientos, mantente concentrado, sé agresivo y nunca te disculpes.
How To Protect Your Child from the New Age and Spiritual Deception
by Berit KjosTempting Voices Beckon to children everywhere. Schools, movies, music, and books all sound the call: "Come, dream, trust Self, you are divine, create your own reality, build a new world. Anything goes, for sin and guilt exist only in the minds of the antiquated 'religious.'" "Unlearning the old ways" is key to this global transformation. Today's assault on biblical Christianity is fast undermining God's moral and spiritual boundaries. It invites chaos rather than unity - coercion instead of freedom - war and violence instead of peace - and ultimately overtakes today's children with the plan to turn them into "progressive" transformation leaders of tomorrow. How can we equip our children so they do not become spiritually deceived and fall into this worldwide agenda? And how can we teach them to have the courage to say no to seductive enticements? There is an answer! We can teach our children to know Truth, so they will discern the counterfeit. And we can teach them how to spot the New Age/New Spirituality and to understand the serious implications that occur when it is embraced.
