  A bold guide for connecting across differences—even those that seem impossible“Wise and visionary, powell helps us find the courage to forge connections with others, the earth, and ourselves in order to transform the world from the inside out.” —Valarie Kaur, bestselling author of See No Stranger and Sage WarriorWe don’t want to live in a society in turmoil. In fact, 93 percent of people in the US want to reduce divisiveness, and 86 percent believe it’s possible to disagree in a healthy way. Yet with increasing political and social fragmentation, many of us don’t know how to move past our differences. Civil rights scholar john a. powell presents an actionable path through “bridging” that helps us communicate, coexist, and imagine a new story for our shared future where we all belong.With inimitable warmth and vision, powell offers a framework for building cohesion and solidarity between disparate beliefs and backgrounds. Bridging is more than a discrete list of actions to follow—it’s a mindset we can develop to help us foster belonging and connection. Key elements of the bridging mindset include:• Understanding how deeply “othering” shapes our world, priming us to see difference of any kind—race, gender, political orientation, etcetera—as a threat• Identifying where “breaking” happens, when people are excluded or treated differently for being perceived as other• Embracing “belonging” as one of our core human needs—we all want to feel seen, valued, and appreciated just as we are• Committing ourselves to treat all people like they belong• Allowing ourselves grace when we inevitably fall short—and resolving to try againThroughout the book, powell shares personal reflections as well as practices to help you begin bridging wherever you are—in your community, friendships, family, workplace—even with those whom you might never have imagined you could find common ground.“Bridging is a salve for our fractured world,” powell says. “We can overcome the illusion of separateness by honoring our differences, transcending the notion that difference divides us, and instead cocreate a world where everyone belongs.”

  Stanford Prison Experiment The:...

  What happens when you put good people in a bad place? 
  That was the question that an experiment in 1971 set out to answer when Stanford University professor and psychologist Philip Zimbardo used funding provided by the U.S. Office of Naval Research to create a make-believe prison in the basement of a university building. Male students were offered the chance to take part in the two-week experiment (and to make $15 per day). All applicants were carefully screened to ensure that they were healthy, emotionally and psychologically stable. 24 men were selected out of 75 that had applied. These men were then randomly assigned to play the role of either prisoners or guards in the “prison.” 
  Initially, nobody was particularly concerned: after all, these were stable, intelligent young men who understood that they would be playing a role for just two weeks. Some people even considered that the experiment was pointless because everyone involved knew that they were simply acting roles for a limited time, so they couldn’t be expected to behave in the ways that real prisoners and guards did. 
  Nonetheless, the experiment began on August 15th, 1971, and just six days later, on August 20th, it was abruptly and unexpectedly terminated after the “guards” had become brutal and sadistic and the “prisoners” had become withdrawn, fearful, and apathetic. There were real concerns that someone might end up being seriously hurt or suffer long-term psychological damage. 
  How could a group of nice, healthy, intelligent young men suddenly transform into sadistic thugs? How could another equally intelligent group of young men suddenly become apathetic victims of this brutality? What did this say about the malleability of human behavior, even when everyone involved knew that this wasn’t real?

  In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Søren Kierkegaard, the father of Christian existentialism and author of Philosophical Fragments, exploring imagination, truth, faith, love, and Jesus Christ.

  "Barghouti is the future. He is intelligent, empowered, and non-violent. He is completely impressive. It would help Americans to see such a picture of Palestinian political engagement, when they have such a distorted image of who Palestinians are. Some day they will know him." —Phillip Weiss, author of Mondoweiss: The War of Ideas in the Middle East 
   
   
   
  THIRTY YEARS ago, an international movement utilizing boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS) tactics rose in solidarity with those suffering under the brutal apartheid regime of South Africa. The historic acts of BDS activists from around the world isolated South Africa as a pariah state and heralded the end of apartheid. 
   
   
   
  Now, as awareness of the apartheid nature of the State of Israel continues to grow, Omar Barghouti, founding member of the Palestinian Civil Society Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, presents a renewed call to action. Aimed at forcing the State of Israel to uphold international law and universal human rights for the Palestinian people, here is a manifesto for change.

  Do you feel disconnected? Lonely? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Long before COVID-19 emerged, researchers were reporting that united states citizens were having less sex. Some even going so far as to call it a “sex apocalypse”. Throughout this book, Dr. bird explores not only how and why this phenomenon occurred, but also unboxes foundationally regifted social, relational, and technological u.s. misinformation(s) and disinformation(s), which have devolved into our digital and increasingly algorithmic envirusment. To do so, first, they argue that our dominant ideas of intelligence have always been limited. Then, they connect those logics to escalating environmental crises. Third, Dr. bird reveals how our major ideas of relational intelligence have been tainted by these widely accepted human misconceptions. And, not only that, but that this mentality has been copy and pasted across nearly everything that we do and love. In doing so, Dr. bird makes clear how the envirusment era presents us abundant opportunities to understand how, in numerous violent taken for granted ways, an idea that the “body is a machine” has infected our lifestyles, sickening, disabling, and poisoning us all to death for profit. Yet, in new viral forms, instead of liberatory solutions, the richest continue to invest in more inhumane artificial intelligence. Instead, Dr. bird insists current problems cannot be solved without transformational human solutions, reminding us that we all hold and can embrace our authenticity, reflecting on our life’s knowledge, to fix this shit.
