  Gentle and Fierce—Two Sides of Self-Compassion That We All Need Now   A vast body of research shows that the skill of self-compassion can deeply calm and heal us. But there's also a fierce "momma bear" side of self-compassion. And all of us—especially women—need it more than ever.   In the face of a threatening or unjust situation, have you ever kept silent because you didn't want to rock the boat or make things worse? And then, did you wonder: "Next time, how can I become stronger and more effective?"   That's the purpose of The Yin and Yang of Self-Compassion. Kristin Neff, PhD, created this inspiring audio program to help you understand and build the two complementary aspects of this crucial skill:  The receptive Yin side self-compassion—how to soothe and comfort yourself when you're in pain and rest in loving, connected presence when alone or with those you care about.  The active Yang side self-compassion—how to see the truth of a situation with courage, protect yourself, and stand strong with others in the face of hostility or harm.   In the years since Kristin Neff and her colleagues first identified the trait of self-compassion, we’ve learned that being kind to ourselves does not weaken us. In fact, just the opposite is true: it makes us more confident, grounded, and resilient amid crisis.   Through fascinating research, stories from Kristin's own experiences as a mother and scientist, and key guided practices, you'll learn how to cultivate the full spectrum of self-compassion—to support yourself and others when it matters the most.

  ‘Harden the F#*k Up!’ 
  In today's society, it can be tough to be a man. How often have you heard boys and men told to be tough and strong, or not show weakness, or to not cry? …To ask for help or talk about it will show you are weak. 
  These beliefs and attitudes have been ingrained from a very young age, and it is destroying our men and their families. Depression and mental health issues are rising. In Australia we lose more than seven men to suicide each day. 
  This needs to change… NOW! 
  Soften the F#*k Up! is a guidebook for adults struggling with the aftermath of emotional trauma. Brett Dellar lived with depression for 30 years, almost all of his adult life, as a result of unresolved childhood trauma, never addressing the underlying cause or understanding the impact of being seen as a ‘man’ in today’s society. 
  Brett shares the journey of how he overcame his depression at the age of 50 and the lessons, tools and skills he learned along the way. 
  Soften the F#*k Up! is a book about the challenges men face and the importance of mental and emotional health. It will provide a deeper understanding and insight into how and why men struggle with mental and emotional challenges, as well as provide the tools and skills to help turn life around. 
  This is a hope-filled, love-filled and purpose-filled memoir by a man who is candid about his own struggles and also offers insights and advice for men in today's society. You will not only be inspired to change your life, but also be shown how to take the steps necessary to do so.

  The United States of English -...

  The story of how English became American—and how it became Southern, Bostonian, Californian, African American, Chicano, elite, working-class, urban, rural, and everything in between 
   
   
   
  By the time of the Revolution, the English that Americans spoke was recognizably different from the British variety. Americans added dozens of new words to the language, either borrowed from Native Americans (raccoon, persimmon, caucus) or created from repurposed English (backwoods, cane brake, salt lick). Americans had their own pronunciations (bath rhymed with hat, not hot) and their own spelling (honor, not honour), not to mention a host of new expressions that grew out of the American landscape and culture (blaze a trail, back track, pull up stakes). Americans even invented their own slang, like stiff as a ringbolt to mean drunk. American English has continued to grow and change ever since. 
   
   
   
  The United States of English tells the engrossing tale of how the American language evolved over four hundred years, explaining both how and why it changed and which parts of the "mother tongue" it preserved (I guess was heard in the British countryside long before it became a typical Americanism). Plentiful examples of the American vernacular, past and present, bring the language to life and make for an engaging as well as enlightening listen.
