  An exploration of how to balance activism and relationships without burning out. 
  Balancing a devotion to activism with personal relationships can be incredibly difficult. Kitty Stryker shares her experience as an activist, street medic and relationship educator to help others pursue the important work while maintaining healthy relationships and without burning out. 
  In what is both a call to action and a candid memoir, Stryker is open about what she has learned and her perceived limitations. Recognizing that it can feel overwhelming to know how to effectively make change, she encourages readers to consider how they can best advocate for causes they believe in, presenting different types of activism and urging readers to honestly examine their own hesitations. 
  She also emphasizes that without taking care of our interpersonal relationships, many people burn out of activism at the very time when we need more people on the ground, and she offers practical strategies to avoid this and to encourage healthy relationships.

  Have you ever felt a persistent, nagging sense that something is wrong, even when your life looks perfectly fine on the outside? You're not alone. We live in a culture that tells us to 'tough it out,' leaving many of us feeling lost, ashamed, or simply confused about our own minds. This book is your personal, pre-therapy guide, designed to demystify the world of psychology and give you the clarity you've been searching for before you even step into a therapist's office.
  Think of this as the friendly, jargon-free conversation you wish you could have to understand what's really going on inside your head. We'll explore the most common challenges that bring people to therapy, breaking down complex topics into clear, relatable chapters. You'll learn why anxiety isn't your enemy, how to recognize the sneaky ways chronic stress impacts your body, and why your own mind sometimes sets 'thinking traps' for you. This guide provides the foundational knowledge to better understand your mental health and emotional world. From tackling the relentless inner critic and rebuilding your self-esteem to navigating identity crises and understanding the patterns in your relationships, this book covers the essential concepts a psychologist would discuss with you. It's not about diagnosing, but about empowering.
  By the end, you'll have a new vocabulary to describe your feelings and a solid framework for making sense of your experiences, helping you feel more prepared and less intimidated by the idea of seeking therapy. If you're considering therapy, curious about psychology, or simply want to build a better relationship with your own mind, this is your starting point. It's a compassionate, insightful, and practical first step on the path to mental wellness, giving you the confidence to understand yourself and decide what comes next. Take a deep breath—you're about to make sense of it all.

  From basketball hoops to cricket bats, the role community sports play in our cities and how crucial they are to diversity and inclusion.
  		 
  “The virus exposed how we live and work. It also revealed how we play, and what we lose when we have to stop.” For every kid who makes it to the NBA, thousands more seek out the pleasure and camaraderie of pick-up basketball in their local community centre or neighbourhood park. It’s a story that plays out in sport after sport – team and individual, youth and adult, men's and women's. While the dazzle of pro athletes may command our attention, grassroots sports build the bridges that link city-dwellers together in ways that go well beyond the physical benefits. The pandemic and heightened awareness of racial exclusion reminded us of the importance of these pastimes and the public spaces where we play. In this closely reported exploration of the role of community sports in diverse cities, Toronto journalist Perry King makes an impassioned case for re-imagining neighbourhoods whose residents can be active, healthy, and connected.
  		 
  “I couldn’t stop reading Perry King’s Rebound. An evocative essay about the transformative and uniting power of local sports in a city with residents from every country in the world, the book is well researched, entertaining, and informative. It spoke to my own experiences as a young athlete fitting into a new city when I first came to Toronto – and to the importance our city government must place on local recreation and sports if our city is to help all residents reach their potential. A fantastic contribution to understanding Toronto – and to the power of local recreation in any major city.” —David Miller, former mayor of Toronto

  The Return of Resentment - The...

  Robert A. Schneider

  The term "resentment" has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does "resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? 
   
   
    
  In The Return of Resentment, Robert A. Schneider explores these questions and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the twentieth century. Schneider illustrates how resentment has morphed across time, coming to express a collective sentiment felt by people and movements across the political spectrum. In this history, we discover resentment's modernity and its ambiguity—how it can be used to dismiss legitimate critique and explain away violence, but also convey a moral stance that demands recognition. Schneider anatomizes the many ways resentment has been used to label present-day movements, from followers of Trump and supporters of Brexit to radical Islamicists and proponents of identity politics. Addressing our contemporary political situation in a novel way, The Return of Resentment challenges us to think critically about the roles different emotions play in politics.

  Should we legalize marijuana? If we legalize, what in particular should be legal? Just possessing marijuana and growing your own? Selling and advertising? If selling becomes legal, who gets to sell? Corporations? Co-ops? The government? What regulations should apply? How high should taxes be? Different forms of legalization could bring very different results. 
   
   
   
  This second edition of Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know® discusses what is happening with marijuana policy, describing both the risks and the benefits of using marijuana, without taking sides in the legalization debate. The book details the potential gains and losses from legalization, explores the "middle ground" options between prohibition and commercialized production, and considers the likely impacts of legal marijuana on occasional users, daily users, patients, parents, and employers—and even on drug traffickers.
