  A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias 
   
   
   
  So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right. 
   
   
   
  In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life; 
  diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking; 
  considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias; reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.

  Strengthen Your Relationships with the Enneagram's Wisdom
  Most of us have no idea how others see or process their experiences. And that can make relationships hard, whether with intimate partners, with friends, or in the workplace. Understanding the motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others—and in ourselves.
  In The Path Between Us, Suzanne Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You
  
  - explains the nine Enneagram types and how they behave and experience relationships
  - guides you into deeper insights about yourself, your type, and others' personalities, and
  - invites you to have healthier, more life-giving relationships through the wisdom of the Enneagram.
  The Path Between Us explores questions like:
  
  - Why do Sixes seem so intimidated and put off by Eights, who only wish the Sixes would stop mulling things over and take action?
  - Why do Fives seem so unavailable, even to their closest family and friends, while Twos seem to feel everybody else's feelings but their own and end up irritating people who don't want their help?
  - How in the world can Fours be so open and loving to you one day and restrained and distant other times?
  The Enneagram not only answers these questions but gives a way out of the usual finger pointing and judging of other people—and finding them wanting, perplexing, or impossible. Suzanne's generous, sometimes humorous, and always insightful approach reveals why all the types behave as they do. This book will help you foster more loving, mature, and compassionate relationships with everyone in your life.

  Becoming a Marihuana User

  Howard S. Becker

  Marijuana has come a long way since its seedy days in the back parking lots of our culture. So has Howard S. Becker, the eminent sociologist, jazz musician, expert on “deviant” culture, and founding NORML board member. When he published Becoming a Marihuana User more than sixty years ago, hardly anyone paid attention—because few people smoked pot. Decades later, and it’s clear—marijuana isn’t just an established commodity, it’s an entire culture. And that’s just the thing—Becker totally called it: pot has everything to do with culture. It’s not a blight on culture, but a culture itself—in fact, you’ll see in this book the first use of the term “users,” rather than “abusers” or “addicts.” Come along on this short little study—now a famous timestamp in weed studies—and you will be astonished at how relevant it is to us today. 
   
  Becker doesn’t judge, but neither does he holler for legalization. Instead, he looks at marijuana with a clear sociological lens—as a substance that some people enjoy, and that some others have decided none of us should. From there he asks: so how do people decide to get high, and what kind of experience do they have as a result of being part of the marijuana world? What he discovers will bother some: chemistry isn’t everything—the important thing about pot is how we interact with it. We learn to be high. We learn to like it. And from there, we teach others, passing the pipe in a circle that begins to resemble a bona fide community.
