A Thousand Names For Joy - Katie Byron, Stephen Mitchell
Inspired by the Tao Te Ching, this is Byron Katie''s inspiring and pragmatic approach to achieving an awakened mind and living more simply and profoundly. Using the template of the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching she talks about her own experience of living in harmony with the way things are, and the difference between what hurts and what doesn''t. Katie has written two books that teach how suffering can be relieved by questioning the thoughts that create it, the thoughts that argue with reality. This questioning takes courage and, in this her third book, she gives readers profound encouragement by showing them the freedom and love that live on the other side of self-inquiry.Many people believe that although enlightenment was attainable thousands of years ago by a few great saints or ascetics, such a state is out of reach of anyone living in the modern world, let alone themselves. This richly detailed account has the ability to change that belief.Katie''s comments on life, and how to live it, are profound, vibrant, funny and crystal clear and all rooted in the familiar circumstances of everyday life.

Tell Me What You Like - Katie Simon
The figures are shocking - 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors'' own stories. Tens of millions of people across the United States experience sexual assault, and 94% of survivors experience symptoms of traumatic stress. These symptoms, such as decreased trust, anxiety, powerlessness, and depression, may affect our sex lives. This crucial book tackles the obstacles a survivor frequently faces while rebuilding a sex life after sexual trauma: dissociation, panic attacks, physical pain, flashbacks, and more. Each chapter includes a varied selection of survivors'' stories in order to normalize and uplift a diversity of healing experiences. For survivors it is a guidebook, a road map, true stories to lean on in a lonely void. Consider it a companion survivors can turn to for support, knowledge, encouragement, resources, and fellow survivors'' expert insight while also providing clarity for current partners of sexual assault survivors, giving them the tools to help us through whatever obstacles our trauma histories present.

What Are Nuclear Weapons For? - Patricia Shamai
Peacekeepers, effective deterrent or potential cause of ultimate disaster? Understanding what nuclear weapons are for has never been more essential. This book traces the history of nuclear weapons from their first use in 1945 when they brought the Second World War to an end, through the Cold War when they gave rise to peace movements and disarmament efforts to the ominous nuclear landscape today. Shamai shows how nuclear weapons have, to date, been a deterrent by raising the stakes of war and thereby reducing the chances of certain kinds of conflict. But, she warns, this is not a permanent situation – its continuation depends on the world’s reaction to this threat and ongoing vigilance.
