  Do your days feel like a never-ending cycle of chaos, guilt, and exhaustion?

  You’re not failing. You just need tools that work in the real world.

Every tool is organized by category—routines, school, discipline, self-esteem, social skills, communication, health, technology, family life, and parent well-being—so you can jump straight to the area you need most and put it into practice today.

  Do scientists see conflict between science and faith? Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities, if such collaborations are even possible? 
   
    
   
  To answer these questions and more, the authors of Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting in-depth interviews with over 600 of them. From this wealth of data, the authors extract the real story of the relationship between science and religion in the lives of scientists around the world. The book makes four key claims: there are more religious scientists than we might think; religion and science overlap in scientific work; scientists—even atheist scientists—see spirituality in science; and finally, the idea that religion and science must conflict is primarily an invention of the West. Secularity and Science leaves inaccurate assumptions about science and religion behind, offering a new, more nuanced understanding of how science and religion interact and how they can be integrated for the common good.

  Chakras play an important part in manifesting your dreams. If your chakras are blocked or somehow stagnated, it may be hard to follow your heart and achieve the results you want. In this guide, therefore, we teach you how to unblock chakras that might have become problematic to you. Manifesting should be done from the heart, and we’re going to help you discover how that works. 
  Additionally, you will learn more about limiting beliefs that are keeping you from getting the abundance you desire. Not everything is numbers. There are beliefs that lie at the foundation of your actions, and we need to get those straightened out. 
  Will you be the one who gets it all figured out? Or will you stay at the level you’re at?

  A New Yorker Best Book of the YearHair is always and everywhere freighted with meaning. In nineteenth-century America, however, hair took on decisive new significance as the young nation wrestled with its identity. During the colonial period, hair was usually seen as bodily discharge, even "excrement." But as Sarah Gold McBride shows, hair gradually came to be understood as an integral part of the body, capable of exposing truths about the individuals from whom it grew—even truths they wanted to hide.As the United States diversified—intensifying divisions over race, class, citizenship status, and region—Americans sought to understand and classify one another through the revelatory power of hair: its color, texture, length, even the shape of a single strand. While hair styling had long offered clues about one's social status, the biological properties of hair itself gradually came to be seen as a scientific tell: a reliable indicator of whether a person was a man or a woman; Black, white, Indigenous, or Asian; Christian or heathen; healthy or diseased. Hair was even thought to illuminate aspects of personality—whether one was courageous, ambitious, or criminally inclined. Yet if hair was a teller of truths, it was also readily turned to purposes of deception in ways that alarmed some and empowered others. Indeed, hair helped many Americans to fashion statements about political belonging, to engage in racial or gender passing, and to reinvent themselves.A history inscribed in bangs, curls, and chops, Whiskerology illuminates a period in American history when hair indexed belonging in some ways that may seem strange—but in other ways all too familiar—today.
