  Discover Henry David Thoreau’s philosophy of living a good life and learn how to apply it to your own.   The hero for our time is someone few people get right. Thoreau wasn’t a hermit in the woods. He lived during a time like ours, of rapid technological and economic changes, political division, and a pandemic. Thoreau, like us, reassessed his priorities: What does success really look like? What is my duty as an ethical citizen of a less-than-ethical world? How can I live a good life amid (insert hand-sweeping gesture) all of this?   His solution: Pare down to trade up.  Finding Your Walden combines classic literature with happiness studies, exploring how experts—psychologists, career coaches, and doctors—support Thoreau’s ideas as guideposts for today’s Great Reassessment. It combines insights of the 1854 classic with people who embrace the pare-down-to-trade-up philosophy today, whether through major life changes (such as tiny homes or sabbaticals) or smaller life hacks (like digital sabbaths or meditation practices). Their stories inspire us to apply creativity, simplicity, and peace to the experiment of life.  Finding Your Walden isn’t about shunning money or success. It’s about grappling with the purpose of the first and the meaning of the second. Whether you love Walden or haven’t read it, you can join Thoreau on a path to discover an intentional life during a volatile time—you just need to make a stop at a cabin on the way.

  The Aztec Empire, one of the most powerful and complex civilizations of Mesoamerica, was not only remarkable for its military conquests and grand architecture but also for its deeply spiritual and mythological worldview. At the heart of Aztec society was a profound belief in the gods and the sacredness of ritual, which governed everything from daily life to the empire's grandest ceremonies. Aztec mythology, rich with gods, cosmic battles, and creation stories, shaped the culture and practices of this ancient civilization. Understanding Aztec mythology is essential to understanding the values, actions, and worldview of the Aztec people, as it provided the framework within which they interpreted their world and their place within it. 
  Aztec myths are not just stories of gods and heroes; they are a reflection of the Aztec's relationship with the cosmos, nature, and each other. These myths explained the origins of the world, the cycles of life, and the creation of humanity, often with gods battling forces of chaos and death to establish order and balance. The gods were not distant, abstract figures; they were seen as active forces in the world, deeply involved in the lives of the people. To the Aztecs, the gods gave life and demanded nourishment in return. This divine reciprocity was central to the practice of sacrifice, both human and material, which played a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the cosmos and ensuring the favor of the gods.

  A trailblazing activist’s passionate and incisive look at why she started a movement to ensure that 26 million Americans have access to the IDs they need to escape poverty and live healthy and productive lives 
  American Identity in Crisis weaves together three remarkable stories: the making of an activist in the wake of the 2016 presidential election; the fight against the onerous rules that are being used to keep vulnerable and targeted populations from participating in all facets of American life -from obtaining jobs and housing to going to the polls- and how we can solve a problem that impacts millions of American adults. 
  Kat Calvin ties all of these threads together in profound ways. In American Identity in Crisis, she takes us on a cross-country tour as she and her team uncover one of the biggest secrets in America and learn how to solve it. We meet veterans, the unhoused, and senior citizens, and learn the story of the fierce advocate who insists on recognizing their humanity and seeing them as souls who are resilient and striving for change.  
  Told in a voice that is strong and vulnerable; funny and fearless, confident and self-deprecating, American Identity in Crisis is a defense of human dignity and everyone’s right to have access to the pursuit of happiness.
