Summary

This book is for anyone who has ever felt "too much" or "not enough." For the ones who are tired of pretending, of performing, of saying "yes" when their soul is screaming "no." It's for the person who looks like they have it all together but is quietly unraveling on the inside.
 
Forget the 7-step guides and the polished self-help advice. This is not a "how-to" book. It's a "me too" book.
 
Through a collection of raw, unfiltered, and deeply honest essays, you'll walk through the messy, uncomfortable, and beautiful process of coming home to yourself. This book tackles the truths we're often too afraid to say out loud: the quiet loneliness, the exhaustion of being the "strong one," the guilt that comes with rest, the trap of being "low maintenance," and the painful but necessary act of outgrowing people you love.
 
This is a companion for the journey, a permission slip to fall apart, and a powerful reminder that choosing yourself isn't selfish—it's survival. If you're ready to stop pretending and start feeling, this book is here to sit in the dark with you and tell you: you're not alone, and you're not broken. You're just getting started.
Available since: 09/10/2025.

    “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
		 
“It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
		 
In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

    The birth of the US Navy’s “Take Charge and Move Out” (TACAMO) mission which provides essential airborne communications to the US nuclear deterrence forces.The US Navy’s “Take Charge and Move Out” (TACAMO) mission provides essential airborne communications to the US nuclear deterrence forces. Today it is a thriving community, respected by the Navy and the US strategic defense forces. But it wasn’t always so. Despite the enormous importance of the mission, for the first decade of their existence, the TACAMO squadrons did not provide a viable career path for officers, instead being a “one and done” tour for the junior officers who found themselves unluckily so assigned. A second tour in the squadrons was considered to be professional suicide. But in 1975, inspired by a significant commanding officer, a handful of lieutenants put their faith in a community that did not yet exist, betting their careers on that second tour. From their faith and courage was born the TACAMO community. This is the story of the birth of TACAMO, in the words of those who built the community from scratch.
