Bodies, Boundaries and Vulnerabilities: Interrogating Social, Cultural and Political Aspects of Embodiment (Crossroads of Knowledge)
by Lisa Folkmarson KällThis volume explores the interrelations between bodily boundaries and vulnerabilities. It calls attention to the vulnerability of bodies as an essential aspect of having boundaries and being bound to other bodies. The volume advances an understanding of embodiment as the central aspect of subjectivity, its identity formation and its relations to others and the world. The essence of embodiment is what connects us with others and in equal measure what distinguishes us from others. The collection also addresses the centrality of the body to political and cultural activity, targeting the role and constitution of norms in the regulation of bodies, and the construction of spaces that bodies inhabit, in constructing national and cultural identities. It raises questions of how bodies and boundaries materialize in co-constitutive relation to one another; how bodies are situated and come to embody various bodies and intersections between different categories of identity and systems of value, meaning and knowledge; how the regulation and policing of bodies and the boundaries between them come to constitute bodies as being weak, strong, vulnerable or resilient and as having more or less fixed or fluid boundaries. The chapters in the volume all demonstrate how individual human bodies are formed in relation to each other as they are regulated and distinguished from one another by larger collective bodies of nature, culture, science, nation and state, as well as by other human or non-human animal bodies.

She takes on body image, the sexualization of breast cancer, motherhood, and maternal relationships, as well as how to sustain an intimate, loving partnership. An unflinching, irreverent take on preventative double mastectomy, Body 2.0 is a guide to reframing adversity, finding inspiration, and shaping your own life.

Brahmacharya (Sanxipt): બ્રહ્મચર્ય (સંક્ષિપ્ત)
by Dada Bhagwanતમને ચોરી કરવી ગમે? તમને જુઠું બોલવું ગમે? તમને કોઈને મારી નાખવાનું (હિંસા) ગમે? તો પછી વિષયમાં એવું શું છે કે તે પોતાને ગમે છે? તે ફક્ત રોંગ બિલીફના કારણે છે. બીજાઓએ કહ્યું તેથી તમે પણ માનો છો કે વિષયમાં પરમ સુખ છે. પણ તે સત્ય નથી. સ્વાભાવિક રીતે વિચારો, શું તમારી બીજી ઇન્દ્રિયોને તે ગમે છે? શું આંખોને તે ગમે છે? શું કાનો સાંભળે છે ત્યારે તેમને તે ગમે છે? શું જીભ ચાટે તો તે મીઠું લાગે છે? નાકને તે ખરેખર ગમતું હશે, નહિ? કોઈ પણ ઇન્દ્રિયને તે ગમતું નથી. દરેક માણસે વિષયનું પરીણામ શું છે અને બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવાના શા ફાયદા છે તે ઓળખવા જોઈએ. પોતાના કાયદેસરના સાથીદાર સાથે પણ ફક્ત એક વખત વિષય ભોગવવાથી, લાખો જીવોની હિંસા થાય છે; અને પોતાના લગ્નના સાથીદાર સિવાય બીજા કોઈ સાથેનો વિષય નરકમાં જવાનું કારણ છે. દરેક જણ સહમત થાય છે કે બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવું જોઈએ. પરંતુ તે પાળવું કેમ? કોઈએ કદી તેનો રસ્તો બતાવ્યો નથી. આ પુસ્તકમાં તમે જોશો કે બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવાના સચોટ અને સ્પષ્ટ રસ્તા બતાવ્યા છે. વર્તમાન અને ભવિષ્યના વિષયના ભયંકર જોખમ વાંચીને લોકોને ધક્કો લાગશે અને તેઓ કહેશે “અમને આની જાણ જ ન હતી.”
Brahmacharya Attained Through Understanding (Volume Two)

In part 1 of the book, Dadashri has warned the married people of infidelity (by thoughts and actions), explained the risks thereof, emphasized on how the subtlest form of infidelity/attraction would divert us from the path of spirituality. For married people, remaining utmost faithful to his/her partner is equivalent to celibacy. In part 2 of the book, Dadashri, has discussed about his enlightened Self that moves about unbound by any circumstance of the material world, unveils for us all ! He initiates the cause brahmacharya in the light of this absolute vision and experiential bliss for all who come to him seeking freedom from the clutches of sexuality and its misery. In this environment rampant with profuse sexuality and its vibrations, the Gnani Purush’s extraordinary and effective speech demolishes all elements of sexuality and illusion of the seeker and makes him still in brahmacharya with understanding.

Breaking Through Bias Second Edition: Communication Techniques for Women to Succeed at Work (Revised)
by Alton B. Harris Andrea S. KramerFully Revised Second Edition Since Breaking Through Bias was published in 2016, the #MeToo movement has exposed just how pervasive sexual harassment is in the workplace; the increase in public misogynistic comments has made clear that explicit gender bias is not a thing of the past; and stay-at-home orders and school closings due to Covid-19 have brought into even sharper focus the discriminatory impact of the unequal division of child care and household responsibilities between most couples. In this Second Edition of Breaking Through Bias, the authors, Kramer and Harris, explain how these recent developments fit into a larger pattern of implicit or unconscious gender bias that imposes serious obstacles to women's career advancement. They argue persuasively, however, that while this bias is the result of deeply rooted gender stereotypes, women can avoid or overcome its discriminatory consequences by the effective use of "attuned gender communication" to manage the impressions other people have of them. Kramer and Harris illustrate the use of attuned gender communication in each of the contexts in which gender bias manifests itself: negative bias (women are not as talented as men), benevolent bias (women need men's support), age bias (older women are not effective workers), motherhood bias (women with children are not committed to their careers), and self-limiting bias (women believing themselves not suited for particular roles). Drawing on decades of experience supervising, training, evaluating, mentoring, and sponsoring thousands of women as well as exhaustive social science research, Kramer and Harris present in this updated and fully revised Second Edition unique, practical, and highly effective advice women can use to break through bias and achieve the career success they desire and deserve.
