Overworked? Overwhelmed? You're not alone. The amount of work placed on women is often insurmountable. Along with doing what's required for their jobs, women are frequently also asked to take on tasks that don't lead to growth or promotion, and to manage other forms of invisible labor at work and at home. All of this can leave women feeling underappreciated, frustrated, and burned out. We need to end the culture of overwork for women. From saying no to office housework to setting your own priorities, Overcoming Overwork provides practical advice for taking back your time so that you can use it for what matters to you. This book will inspire you to: - Advocate for yourself and your time - Say no to office housework and unwanted tasks - Manage your mental load outside of work - Delegate projects for a more equitable balance of labor

Audiobook
They buried their secrets, but not deep enough… Hannah McCollough's life is far from perfect, but you'd never know it by looking at her. Instead, you'd see a beautiful young mother wholly devoted to her two children and a docile wife utterly besotted with her self-made millionaire husband, Allan. You'd see the designer clothes she wears, the luxury car she drives, the dewy-eyed au pair she employs. You wouldn't see the dark secret she carries. But when a construction crew unearths the body of a young girl near the McCulloughs' vacation home on Orcas Island, Hannah has no choice but to confront her past. She wonders how much Allan knows about the victim and the apocalyptic cult she was connected to. Meanwhile, Allan can't seem to understand why his beautiful young bride, as polished and pristine as the collectible artifacts in his glass case, would threaten their fairy-tale lifestyle by digging too deep, in places she knows she shouldn't. As the police investigation into the gruesome discovery deepens, the facade of Hannah's picture-perfect marriage starts to crumble, and she soon finds herself on a dire hunt for answers. And Hannah's search takes an unexpected turn after she crosses paths with three strangers with shocking secrets of their own.

Cyborg: The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
This introduction to cyborg theory provides a critical vantage point for analyzing the claims around emerging technologies like automation, robots, and AI. Cyborg analyzes and reframes popular and scholarly conversations about cyborgs from the perspective of feminist cyborg theory. Drawing on their combined decades of training, teaching, and research in the social sciences, design, and engineering education, Laura Forlano and Danya Glabau introduce an approach called critical cyborg literacy. Critical cyborg literacy foregrounds power dynamics and pays attention to the ways that social and cultural factors such as gender, race, and disability shape how technology is imagined, developed, used, and resisted. Forlano and Glabau offer critical cyborg literacy as a way of thinking through questions about the relationship between humanity and technology. Cyborg examines whether modern technologies make us all cyborgs-if we consider, for instance, the fact that we use daily technologies at work, have technologies embedded into our bodies in health care applications, or use technology to critically explore possibilities as artists, designers, activists, and creators. Lastly, Cyborg offers perspectives from critical race, feminist, and disability thinkers to help chart a path forward for cyborg theory in the twenty-first century.

Bringing Home the White House: The Hidden History of Women Who Shaped the Presidency in the Twentiet
In Bringing Home the White House, Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions-five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958-organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the 'saleswomen for the party' by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns-over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s-and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War.

The Poverty of the World: Rediscovering the Poor at Home and Abroad, 1941-1968
In The Poverty of the World, Sheyda Jahanbani brings together the histories of United States foreign relations and domestic politics to explain why, during a period of unprecedented affluence, Americans rediscovered poverty and supported major policy initiative to combat it. Revisiting a moment of triumph for American liberals in the 1940s, Jahanbani shows how the United States's newfound role as a global superpower prompted novel ideas among liberal thinkers about how to address poverty and generated new urgency for trying to do so. Their sense of responsibility about deploying American knowledge and wealth as a beneficent force in the world, produced such foreign aid programs as the Peace Corps. Drawing on a wide variety of archival material, Jahanbani reinterprets the lives and work of prominent liberal figures in postwar American social politics to show the global origins of their ideas. By tracing how American liberals invented the problem of 'global poverty' and executed a war against it, The Poverty of the World sheds new light on the domestic impacts of the Cold War, the global ambitions of American liberalism, and the way in which key intellectuals and policymakers worked to develop an alternative vision of United States empire in the decades after World War II.

Audiobook
Make anxiety work for you. Work is stressful: We race to meet deadlines. We extend ourselves to return favors for colleagues. We set ambitious goals for ourselves and our teams. We measure ourselves against metrics, our competitors, and sometimes, our colleagues. Some of us even go beyond tangible metrics to internalize stress and fear of missing the mark-ruminating over presentations that didn't go according to plan, imagining worst-case scenarios, or standing frozen, paralyzed by perfectionism. But hypervigilance, worry, and catastrophizing don't have to hold you back at work. When channeled thoughtfully, anxiety can motivate us to be more resourceful, productive, and creative. It can break down barriers and create new bonds with our colleagues. Managing Your Anxiety will help you distinguish stress from anxiety, learn what anxiety looks like for you, understand it, and respond to it with self-compassion at work. With the latest psychological research and practical advice from leading experts, you'll learn how to recognize how your anxiety manifests itself; manage it in small, day-to-day moments and in more challenging times; experiment and find a mindfulness practice that works for you; and build a support infrastructure to help you manage your anxiety over the long term.

She is the most influential American you've never heard of. Because of her gifts and grit, the United States boasts the world's preeminent biomedical research institution. She was a quick study, a brilliant networker, and a formidable figure. She called herself a citizen advocate, and she advocated for the health of the nation. This is Mary Lasker's story. Americans now recognize the National Institutes of Health as the national treasure that it is, but when she began her crusade, her first challenge was persuading elected leaders and federal officials that the health of the American public was even their problem. Armed with the knowledge she was right, and supported by her husband, the famed ad man Albert Lasker, and close friend Florence Mahoney, she built a coalition of noted physicians and scientists that fundamentally changed how we think about medical research funding. In New York she supported the arts and theater. For a few months every year, she traveled to Europe, rented a villa in France or Italy, and entertained all the right people. She incorporated her mission for medical research with her place in high society. She was a socialite on a mission. She was an Angel in Mink. All sales proceeds will be donated to the Lasker Foundation.

The Silent Retirement Crisis: How You Can Build a Sustainable Retirement in a Potentially Broken Sys
Retirement does not have to be stressful and scary. With proper planning, Americans can not only retire comfortably: They can also prosper. Cindy Couyoumjian’s third book explores the silent retirement crisis that will impact millions of Americans. She uses the term silent to convey the idea that the majority of those who are about to retire, or are in retirement, share a common and unspoken fear—running out of money. Couyoumjian asserts that the anxiety people have about their retirement is not a misdirected emotion. We are led to believe that the fear (silent as it is) is due to our lack of financial literacy or not having a financial plan in place. While some of this is true, it’s not totally our fault: Her book addresses the big-picture, systemic problems that conspire against average Americans while favoring the wealthy few. The first third of the book explores how broken capitalism has contributed to our broken retirement system. The second third offers us a new way of thinking and investing, underscoring how university endowments have achieved extraordinary return by using a multi-asset class investment approach. Part III offers meaningful solutions to the retirement crisis. The author introduces us to her flexible and customizable REALM model designed to potentially protect clients from sudden market losses. Also included is other valuable information such as estate planning, tax strategies, 401(k) rollover options, life insurance, and long-term care initiatives. Couyoumjian shows us that retirement planning isn’t just savings and investing. With an umbrella of other planning items, we can take action to make the difference between an anxious retirement defined by uncertainty and a comfortable one, grounded in prosperity. Founder of Cinergy Financial, Cindy Couyoumjian believes financial literacy is a moral imperative and has dedicated her professional life to helping people understand the constantly evolving financial and economic landscape. With 37 years of industry experience, she is a leader in the financial industry, managing over $200,000,000 in assets. She is the author of two previous best-selling books, Redefining Financial Literacy, (2021) and The Rise of Women and Wealth (2022). She has appeared on NBC, CBS, FOX 40, talk radio AM870 and 790 KABC, and was a brand contributor to Forbes in 2020. Her dedication and commitment to empower with facts, not fear, are unwavering as she continues to educate and guide her clients toward their individualized financial goals and objectives.

Audiobook
With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine's leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country's independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'. Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky's life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolize his country.
