Democracy in Retrograde: How to Make Changes Big and Small in Our Country and in Our Lives
by Sami Sage Emily AmickA whip-smart combo of self-help and political manifesto that is perfect for anyone who wants to save our democracy but doesn&’t know where to start.In today&’s political climate, it&’s hard not to get discouraged. Isolated, doom scrolling, lacking a sense of purpose or community...it&’s easy to become overwhelmed by the dire state of American democracy and do nothing, because why try when the odds are never in our favor? At this fragile moment in history, Emily Amick, lawyer and former counsel to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, alongside New York Times bestselling author and Betches Media cofounder Sami Sage, want to reframe civic engagement as a form of self-care: an assertion of one&’s values and self-respect.

Including real stories of regular people who have made a difference along with helpful exercises and quizzes, Democracy in Retrograde is a choose-your-own-adventure map to civic engagement that will help you: *Define your values and passions *Understand how the system works, so it&’s easier to know how to change it *Match your personality, skills, resources, and interests, to meaningful actions within your community *Implement changes (big and small) that matter *Build a civic life that&’s sustainable and authentic to you, whether you have only a few minutes to spare or are ready to make a lifetime commitment Democracy in Retrograde will help you learn about much more than just political action. This book will provide a new lens through which to see yourself: a new and powerful light which bridges the personal and the political. In the words of Joan Baez, action is the antidote to despair, and with this helpful guide, even if Mercury is in retrograde, our democracy doesn&’t have to be.

Der Seelenadvokat
by Charity OkaWir leben im Allgemeinen in einer Welt, die auf Grenzen ausgerichtet ist, und wir sind dazu erzogen worden, diese Grenzen hoch zu achten und sie sorgfältig zu schätzen und zu berücksichtigen, weil wir glauben, dass sie ideal sind und bessere Beziehungen und tiefere Verbindungen zwischen uns schaffen. Diese Grenzziehung erstreckt sich auch auf Kulturen, Religionen und Familien. Unsere Kulturen und Familien setzen diese Grenzen ausdrücklich fest und hindern die Menschen daran, zu handeln und eigene Grenzen, Überzeugungen ,,,,, und Meinungen zu haben. Und wenn die Gesellschaft und die Eltern ihre Grenzen setzen, erwarten sie von uns, dass wir sie nicht überschreiten, aber unsere individuellen Grenzen werden oft gegen uns zurückgedrängt, damit die Kontrolle der Welt bestehen bleibt. Wenn wir jeden Tag von etwas umgeben sind, gewöhnen wir uns so sehr daran, dass wir es gar nicht mehr hinterfragen. Nur um dann festzustellen, dass die Grenzen nicht das sind, was sie uns vorgaukeln; vielmehr sind sie ein Bündel ungesunder Kontrolle, um uns am Zugang zur Wahrheit zu hindern. Das Festhalten an dieser kalkulierten Täuschung hat uns lange Zeit aus dem Bewusstsein herausgehalten, aber jetzt, wo wir beginnen, intuitive Eingebungen zu haben und die Systeme der Welt zu bewerten, findet eine Bewusstseinsveränderung statt. Die Angst, die uns eingeflößt wird, um in einem illusorischen Gefängnis zu bleiben, beginnt allmählich ihre Macht über uns zu verlieren. Diese Erkenntnis und das jüngste Erwachen, die Bemühungen der Gesellschaft, uns mit Angst und Schuldgefühlen zu managen, das hochqualifizierte Gaslighting und die massenhafte Manipulation der Menschheit unter dem Deckmantel der Grenzen, haben uns eine außerordentliche Freiheit gegeben, das zu tun, was sich richtig anfühlt. Es ist an der Zeit, die Dinge zu verlernen, die für uns nicht mehr nützlich sind, und unsere Wahrheit anzunehmen.
Designed for Success: Better Living and Self-Improvement with Midcentury Instructional Records
by Janet Borgerson Jonathan SchroederA charmingly illustrated history of midcentury instructional records and their untold contribution to the American narrative of self-improvement, aspiration, and success.For the midcentury Americans who wished to better their golf game through hypnosis, teach their parakeet to talk, or achieve sexual harmony in their marriage, the answers lay no further than the record player. In Designed for Success, Janet Borgerson and Jonathan Schroeder shed light on these endearingly earnest albums that contributed to a powerful American vision of personal success. Rescued from charity shops, record store cast-off bins, or forgotten boxes in attics and basements, these educational records reveal the American consumers&’ rich but sometimes surprising relationship to advertising, self-help, identity construction, and even aspects of transcendentalist thought.Relegated to obscurity and novelty, instructional records such as Secrets of Successful Varmint Calling, You Be a Disc Jockey, and How to Ski (A Living-Room Guide for Beginners) offer distinct insights into midcentury media production and consumption. Tracing the history of instructional records from the inception of the recording industry to the height of their popularity, Borgerson and Schroeder offer close readings of the abundant topics covered by &“designed for success&” records. Complemented by over a hundred full-color illustrations, Designed for Success is a wonderfully nostalgic tour that showcases the essential role these vinyl records played as an unappreciated precursor to contemporary do-it-yourself culture and modern conceptions of self-improvement.

Developing the Intuitive Executive: Using Analytics and Intuition for Success (Data Analytics Applications)
by Jay LiebowitzThe leading traits of executives often include creativity and innovation. Research shows that intuition can significantly enhance to these traits. Developing intuitive executives and honing intuition, coupled with the ability to apply data and evidence to inform decision making, is the focus of Developing the Intuitive Executive: Using Analytics and Intuition for Success. Some researchers call the complement of applying data analytics to intuition as quantitative intuition, rational intuition, or informed intuition. Certainly, in today's data-driven environment, analytics plays a key role in executive decision-making. However, an executive’s many years of experiential learning are not formally considered as part of the decision-making process. Learning from both failures and successes can help fine-tune intuitive awareness—what this book calls intuition-based decision-making. Research also shows that many executives do not trust the internal data quality in their organizations, and so they rely on their intuition rather than strictly on data. This book presents the work of leading researchers worldwide on intuition in the management and executive domain. Their chapters cover key issues, trends, concepts, techniques, and opportunities for applying intuition as part of the executive decision-making process. Highlights include: Using intuition to manage new opportunities Intuition in medicine Rules based on intuition Balancing logic and intuition in decision-making Smart heuristics to manage complexity Intuition and competitiveness Intuitive investment decision-making across cultures Showing how intuition in executive decision making should play an important role, this book enables managers to complement their knowledge gained from experience with analytics to improve decision-making and business success.

Diligence: The Joyful Endeavor of the Buddhist Path
by Dzigar KongtrulAn exploration of diligence, the essential quality to inspire joy and openheartedness for Buddhist practice and daily life, from renowned Buddhist teacher Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche.This book contributes the first commentary on the diligence chapter from Shantideva&’s 8th-century classic The Way of the Bodhisattva. While many books have explored his celebrated chapter on wisdom, diligence has been overlooked. As one of the six paramitas or perfections that are fundamental for following the bodhisattva path and helping others, diligence can profoundly impact our lives.The highly acclaimed Buddhist teacher Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche guides us through the depth and complexity of Shantideva&’s teachings with his characteristic buoyant energy and clear, accessible writing. With over three decades of teaching on the subject, Dzigar Kongtrul illuminates how diligence is the inner quality that inspires us to engage with the world and, most importantly, with our own mind. It&’s the inner vigor that sparks enthusiasm despite difficulty, the dynamic armor that protects against laziness, and the inner strength that aims to meet the world with joy and openheartedness. Shantideva explains that diligence is the energy that flows through all the paramitas—it&’s the wind that keeps us moving toward the goal of liberation and benefiting others. Within the heart of every bodhisattva is a bursting sense of tenderness, peace, intelligence, and joy—which is inherent in the quality of diligence.In this book, Dzigar Kongtrul explores traditional teachings on diligence, such as the three kinds of laziness, the Four Immeasurables, the two strengths, rebirth, the nature of emptiness, and dependent origination. Joy is the continuous thread woven through this time-honored wisdom that will aid us throughout our lives whether in formal practice or our day-to-day interactions with an ever-changing world. With diligence, we will overcome laziness and succeed in all our meaningful endeavors.
Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life
by Megan HellererA guide for creating a life of maximum fulfillment and purpose, by the career coach whose approach has helped hundreds re-orient their careers and lives The traditional approach to career is failing us. Determine what you want to do with your life, it says, and methodically make your way toward that destination. We&’re taught that once we get there, no matter how fraught and fatiguing the path is, we&’ll find fulfillment. This is the 5-year plan, it&’s setting the &“right&” goals, it&’s one of the first questions we ask kids: what do you want to be when you grow up? The problem is this advice simply doesn&’t work. It&’s outdated and based on a world that doesn&’t exist anymore, if it ever did. And, it&’s created a generation of Underfulfilled Overacheivers, who have leaned in, climbed the ladder of success, did everything they were supposed to do, and yet feel burned out and unfulfilled. In the last decade, career coach Megan Hellerer, herself a recovering Underfulfilled Overachiever, has worked with hundreds of these women, from CEOs and bestselling authors to award-winning scientists and activists, helping them get unstuck and discover meaningful, purpose-driven work. Directional Living comes from Megan&’s innovative paradigm, one based on the premise that a fulfilling, purpose-filled career and life is built by following your inner sense of direction, not pursuing a fixed destination. Through this revolutionary new blueprint, we learn to find the work we are uniquely well-suited to do in the world, move from misery to meaning, and transform our careers on the way to transforming our lives. Directional Living is both a philosophy and a practical guide to creating not just a great life, but your great life—one full of genuine purpose, meaning, ease and authenticity.
