  “[A] fascinating, informative, and highly entertaining primer on the various ways the uninitiated may find themselves ripped off by a con artist.” —Publishers Weekly   No one thinks it can happen to them, but Americans are forty times more likely to be defrauded than to have their cars stolen or their homes burgled. Con artists ruin people financially and emotionally, leaving in their wake a trail of destruction, broken hearts, and deflated dreams.    The first step to combating fraud is to understand it. What do scams look like? Why are they effective? The next step is to take action. How can we protect ourselves and our families? The Con: How Scams Work, Why You’re Vulnerable, and How to Protect Yourself informs and engages with accessible stories of ordinary people from all walks of life thrown into unexpected and disorienting circumstances. The book goes behind the scenes of real-world cons to examine the logistics and psychology that enable scams to succeed. The goal is to help people understand and recognize deception, and in the same way that they avoid other potentially dangerous situations, take a detour. Once readers have gained a clear idea of what scams look and sound like and learned simple strategies to reduce personal risk, protecting themselves will be just as instinctive as putting on a seat belt.  “This compelling work goes a long way toward putting distance between scammers and their prey.” —Foreword Reviews  “Completely fascinating and insightful.” —Booklist

  "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao."
  
  In a world of constant striving and noise, the Tao Te Ching offers a radical alternative: the path of the "Way." Laozi's cryptic yet beautiful verses explore the paradoxes of existence, teaching that true power comes from yielding, and true wisdom comes from silence. This is not just a book of philosophy; it is a practical guide to reclaiming your natural state of being. By understanding the flow of the universe, one can navigate life's challenges with effortless grace and profound peace.
  
  The Concept of Wu Wei (Effortless Action): The central tenet of the text is Wu Wei, often translated as "non-action" or "effortless doing." Laozi argues that like water—which is the softest substance yet can wear away the hardest stone—we are most effective when we stop forcing our will upon the world and instead align ourselves with the natural flow of the "Tao."
  
  The Three Treasures: Laozi identifies three core virtues for a meaningful life: Compassion, Frugality, and Humility. The Tao Te Ching suggests that by stripping away the complications of ego and desire, we return to the "Uncarved Block"—our original, pure, and potent nature.
  
  A Guide for Leadership and Life: Unlike many political treatises, the Tao Te Ching advocates for a leader who governs with a light touch, trusting in the people and the natural order. Its wisdom is equally applicable to the CEO, the artist, or the seeker, providing a timeless sanctuary for anyone looking to simplify their life and find their center.

  How to reclaim power in a time of perpetual crisis 
   
   
   
  We are living through a Long Emergency: a near-continuous train of pandemics, heatwaves, droughts, resource wars, and other climate-driven disasters. In Lifehouse, Adam Greenfield asks what might happen if the tactics and networks of care that spring up in response to these times might be brought together in a single, coherent way of life? 
   
   
   
  Using examples from the Black Panthers' "survival programs," the astonishingly effective Occupy Sandy disaster-relief effort, and the neighborhood-based mutual aid groups that sustained many during COVID lockdowns to the large-scale, self-organized polities of municipalist Spain and Kurdish Rojava, Greenfield argues for rethinking local power as a bulwark against despair—a way to discover and develop the individual and collective capacities that have gone underutilized during all the long years of late capitalism, and a means for thriving in the face of impending catastrophe.

  Accidental - Rebuilding a Life...

  Accidental injury is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of forty-five. From fatal traffic accidents to firearms injuries to casualties of war to a deadly virus passed to an elderly loved one, accidental harm dates back almost as far as our human stories go. When these accidents occur, they pose profound and agonizing questions: What do we do when a death falls somewhere between a murder and an insurance claim? What if we are responsible for such harm? Is healing even possible? 
   
   
   
  Rooted in research on moral injury, religious rituals of confession and cleansing, and psychology—as well as the hard-won wisdom of someone who has been there—Accidental explores the complicated reality of accidental death and injury and offers companionship to those affected by these tragedies. Author, military veteran, and Episcopal priest David W. Peters walks with us through his own lonely journey after he unintentionally killed someone in a traffic accident and the journey of his family, as his brother was killed by a bus. Peters investigates the cars, guns, and systems that put some people and communities at more risk than others, and then draws wisdom from ancient cities of refuge, where accidental killers could find asylum. Accidental helps listeners accept responsibility, see themselves in the stories of others, and find absolution and community.
