Kinship Medicine: Cultivating Interdependence to Heal the Earth and Ourselves

"For fans of Braiding Sweetgrass, The Future We Choose, and The Blue Zones, a book about the effect our relationship to nature has on our well-being and health. Our modern way of living is incompatible with our survival. Most of us intuitively know this truth, but almost everything in our society encourages us to ignore it. Dr. Wendy Johnson confronts this undeniable fact and breaks down how we think and act every day in ways that undermine our individual and collective well-being. The antidotes to many of the causal factors of poor health-loneliness, industrial diets, systemic inequality, fear of death, profit-based healthcare-are relational, with each other and with the living earth. Through evidence from public health, sociology, anthropology, human ecology, and her experience as a family physician, Dr. Wendy Johnson will show you how: - We must incorporate an "ecosystem" perspective into modern medicine - What you ingest and where you live can reinforce or upset your body's delicate balance - Eliminating one organism in an ecosystem can affect all the others - Histories of trauma can be passed down for generations - Rekindling our relationships to non-human life is essential to our well-being - Being closer to death can release some of its power over us - Actions of communities will be stronger and more lasting than any individual efforts You will leave with a clear vision of what a new society might look like, methods to accomplish this transformation, and concrete examples of where it is being done successfully."

Good Team, Bad Team: Lead Your People to Go After Big Challenges, Not Each Other

"Know yourself, know your team, solve your challenge. You want to lead a good team—a team that gets results, a team you look forward to working with every day. But many leaders are surprised to find themselves bogged down by people problems. They can’t get people to row in the same direction—or row at all. They have a nagging sense that the team isn’t reaching its full potential. This book is a primer for busy leaders who want actionable ways to build a better team with the people they have. Sarah Thurber and Blair Miller combine their decades of team-building experience with research from the fields of cognitive diversity and creative problem solving to help people lead teams that collaborate, innovate, and get results. Their advice? If you want to lead a good team, don’t follow your instincts. Follow the science. Built on research from their popular FourSight® system—used by Nike, NASA, and Navy SEALs—Good Team, Bad Team examines over 6 million data points on why people solve the same problem so differently. The data reveals unconscious problem-solving patterns which, left unmanaged, can cause conflict and stall progress. Once understood, they can help diverse thinkers achieve extraordinary results. Good Team, Bad Team is the must-read leadership toolkit for leaders who want their people to take on big challenges—together."

Transforming Trauma in Children and Adolescents: An Embodied Approach to Somatic Regulation, Trauma

"An innovative somatic and attachment-based treatment for working with children and adolescents who suffer from complex trauma and neglect '[This] is a ground-breaking new approach to treating traumatized children, based on the combination of keen clinical observation, sensory integration, and a deep understanding of the latest advances in the neuroscience of trauma.'-Bessel van der Kolk, MD, best-selling author of The Body Keeps the Score The SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment) program addresses three key processes that can be derailed by developmental trauma--somatic regulation, trauma processing, and attachment-building--and uses movement and sensation to target the neurological structures that support emotional and behavioral regulation. Transforming Trauma in Children and Adolescents teaches therapists the eight key skills required for SMART mastery and provides seven regulation tools for clients, helping children and adolescents manage their feelings and attend to developmental tasks like making friends, participating at school, learning to play with others, and developing a sense of self that includes--but isn't defined by--the trauma they've experienced. Enriched with case studies and recommended adaptations, the book includes resources for parents and other caregivers who want to provide ongoing supportive care outside the clinical setting."

Core Awareness, Revised Edition: Enhancing Yoga, Pilates, Exercise, and Dance

"An indispensible resource for those interested in all forms of movement education, including yoga, pilates, dance, and more Somatic educator and writer Liz Koch has spent decades studying the principles of Core Awareness-a body-based approach to movement that utilizes attention to inner sensation as the key to increasing strength, gaining flexibility, preventing injury, and improving resilience. In this book, she shares her vast knowledge of Core Awareness with readers, providing movements, stretches, and mindfulness explorations that she developed herself. Her exercises are designed to enhance sensory development and shift readers from the standard paradigm of the body as an 'isolated object' to a holistic paradigm of the human being as part of a living process of dynamic expression. This shift in perspective offers practitioners and teachers of movement, yoga, pilates, bodywork, exercise, and dance an empowering model for self-healing and the key to becoming stronger, more flexible, and more resilient. As Koch describes the practice of moving from one's core, she highlights the importance of engaging the psoas muscle-located on either side of the spine-to integrate the body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Koch also discusses how the pelvis is the foundation of our physical core, the vital connection with our bones, and crucial in gaining a sense of support, nourishment, joint integrity, skeletal balance, and healthy muscle tone. Rewritten with updated information, this revised edition includes 247 new photos and 25 new Core Awareness explorations-with 64 in total. A suggested reading list at the end of the book provides resources for continuing the development of the ideas presented within the book."

The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future

"At a time when AI and digital platforms are under fire, Orly Lobel, a renowned tech policy scholar, defends technology as a powerful tool we can harness to achieve equality and a better future. Much has been written about the challenges tech presents to equality and democracy. But we can either criticize big data and automation or steer it to do better. Lobel makes a compelling argument that while we cannot stop technological development, we can direct its course according to our most fundamental values. With provocative insights in every chapter, Lobel masterfully shows that digital technology frequently has a comparative advantage over humans in detecting discrimination, correcting historical exclusions, subverting long-standing stereotypes, and addressing the world's thorniest problems: climate, poverty, injustice, literacy, accessibility, speech, health, and safety. Lobel's vivid examples-from labor markets to dating markets-provide powerful evidence for how we can harness technology for good. The book's incisive analysis and elegant storytelling will change the debate about technology and restore human agency over our values."

Healing Depression without Medication: A Psychiatrist's Guide to Balancing Mind, Body, and Soul

"What if everything we thought we knew about depression-and how to heal from it-was wrong? Many antidepressants-the first line in our standard of care for treating depression-bring with them potential health risks, yet 1 in 6 Americans takes medication to alleviate feeling sad, anxious, stuck, or unable to focus or sleep. More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respond to life's challenges-like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving the death of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship-telling us that they're symptoms of disease. Psychiatrist Jodie Skillicorn presents a new path, debunking the myth of the neurochemical imbalance and exploring the roots of depression, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poorly managed day-to-day stress. Evidence-based and fully supported by current depression research, Dr. Skillicorn's holistic methods for beating depression-including nutrition, mindfulness, fostering meaningful connections, exercise, sleep, nature, and breathwork-empower readers to become agents of their own wholeness and healing."
