  A psychotherapist's candid memoir of addiction and recovery, exploring the intersection of Asian culture, mental health, and assimilating into American culture as an ethnic minority. 
   
   
   
  Sam Louie grew up torn between cultures as part of a first-generation Chinese immigrant family from Hong Kong living in a predominantly African American neighborhood in the United States. He experienced the duality of existence with the tension of two vastly different worldviews, his identity intertwined with the country he lives in and his ancestral ties. What traditions and cultural beliefs get preserved, what gets discarded, and what gets lost in translation? Beneath it all was the presence of three generations of addiction, trauma, and shame. 
   
   
   
  In this insightful book, he documents the challenges of immigrant experiences and how maladaptive coping mechanisms in the form of compulsive behaviors were a means to gain a sense of adequacy due to the cultural tide of shame and ostracism within his own ethnic heritage and the world. 
   
   
   
  Louie's journey of resiliency in navigating multiple cultural forces in the face of adversity can give listeners a new understanding of hope, perseverance, and the resources to heal.

  All golden ages are marked by periods of spectacular cultural flourishing, scientific exploration, technological achievement and economic growth; yet no two are the same. Their beliefs, societies and place in the wider world all vary. Despite this, all previous golden ages have ended, whether it be because of external pressures or internal fracturing; too much hubris or too little wariness. 
   
  Looking at seven of humanity's greatest civilisations - ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song C hina, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere - historian and commentator Johan Norberg seeks to distil their strengths and shortcomings in answering the question: how do we ensure that our current golden age doesn't end? 
   
  As insightful as it is riveting, Peak Human is at once a paean to our incredible progress and a warning that we cannot afford to be complacent.

  Ancient Mythologies invites readers into the epic tales, divine dramas, and timeless wisdom of three powerful ancient traditions. This 3-in-1 collection explores the fascinating mythological worlds of Egyptian Mythology, The Greek Pantheon, and The Gods of the Nile—offering a rich tapestry of creation stories, epic battles, moral lessons, and supernatural beings that have shaped cultures for thousands of years. 
  In Egyptian Mythology, readers will encounter gods who ruled over life and death, the afterlife, and the forces of nature. From Ra the sun god to Osiris, Isis, and Anubis, these myths reveal how the ancient Egyptians understood the cosmos, kingship, and the journey of the soul. The Greek Pantheon then brings to life the iconic gods and heroes of Olympus—Zeus, Athena, Hades, and more—whose rivalries, romances, and feats continue to influence literature, psychology, and popular culture to this day. 
  Lastly, The Gods of the Nile offers a closer look at the regional deities of ancient Egypt and the spiritual significance of the Nile River itself. These myths emphasize the connection between nature and divinity, the cyclical rhythm of life, and the sacred role of water in sustaining civilization. Together, these three volumes weave a spellbinding journey through the beliefs, stories, and legacies of ancient peoples who sought to explain the mysteries of the universe through myth.
