  During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families—could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice. 
   
   
   
  With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

  The Secrets of the Federal Reserve* by Eustace Mullins investigates the origins, structure, and influence of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, arguing that it was created not solely to stabilize the economy but to serve the interests of an elite banking group. Mullins traces the Reserve’s formation back to a secret meeting on Jekyll Island and explores how this institution has impacted U.S. and global economics. The book examines key figures, banks, and historical contexts behind the Reserve, presenting a controversial view that challenges mainstream narratives about its purpose and control. This work is often cited by those critical of centralized banking power and has sparked much debate in economic and historical circles.

  Australia's leading social psychologist examines our society today and asks timely and urgent questions about its future 
   
  Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. Yet none of our differences-whether based on ethnicity, politics, religion, cultural tastes and preferences, or gender-are nearly as significant as the humanity we share. 
   
  Amidst our epidemics of loneliness, anxiety and depression, and the impacts of entrenched poverty and ubiquitous technology, The Way We Are examines the major trends that are shaking the foundations of the Australian way of life. 
   
   
  Drawing on thousands of interviews over a lifetime of research, Hugh Mackay, much loved and highly respected social psychologist, presents a compelling portrait of Australia today. He celebrates the march towards gender equality and explains the stubborn persistence of misogyny, the anti-social consequences of social media, the complex legacy of the Baby Boomers, and the 'fake wisdom' that guides too much of our thinking. Exploring the steady decline in religious faith and practice, Hugh identifies the many gods we continue to worship, and points to the positive role that dreaming can play in our lives. Though some of his observations may not be easy reading, Hugh's analysis is suffused with affection for our country. 
   
   
  Inspiring, provocative and powerfully argued, The Way We Are is the most important-and uplifting-book you'll read all year. It will encourage you to reflect deeply on the question: What kind of society do we want to become? 
   
   
  'Hugh Mackay is one of this country's most perceptive social commentators.' - Sydney Morning Herald

  If you have an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, or emotional eating, you may also struggle with negative body image that's made worse by diet culture, television, magazines, movies, and social media. And, despite popular belief, not all people who struggle with eating disorders are tiny or thin. Eating disorders can affect people of all genders, ethnicities, and ages—as well as all shapes and sizes. That's why you need a weight-inclusive approach—one that prioritizes your mental and physical health without perpetuating weight stigma. 
   
  Written by three clinical psychologists who specialize in eating disorders, this workbook offers a powerful new approach grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) called CBT-Weight Inclusive (CBT-WI), to help you heal from body shame, reject diet culture, and find lasting recovery. You will never be asked to weigh yourself, compute your BMI, or restrict your eating. Instead, you will discover insights to help you better understand your eating disorder, and find proven-effective tools and strategies to cultivate radical body acceptance. This workbook will help you overcome the negative, internalized messages about weight that are perpetuated by diet culture, so you can feel at home in your body, improve your mental and physical health, and make positive changes in all aspects of your life.

  Generations blame each other for the state of the world. Kids eat a daily course of mobile phone apps and social media burgers. News is reduced to fake edible sound bites. Television and movie stars are modern day photoshopped gods. Illusion and delusion are all around us. Marketing magic created to control and manipulate the stupid masses. 
   
  Reality TV stars are elected and glorified to greater heights as charity and care workers are forgotten. Zombies walk the streets desperate to find a Wi-Fi hotspot and an awesome place to take a selfie. Kids today need to find safe havens from social media attacks where their grandparents needed to find bunkers to save them from bombs. Hard times no longer means poverty and starvation, it means not having the latest fashion, mobile phone, game console and followers. An older generation wonder what all these new gender designations mean and how anybody can be fluid. They wonder why these youngsters don't want to work for a living and despair should we ever have another world war. 
   
  Today the last generation look upon the so-called Millennials and wonder where they went wrong. In this book, we are going to find out that we are all Millennials and how to change.
