Summary

What does the command "look, don't touch" suggest about the (lack of) freedom to feel in society?
layla-roxanne hill and Francesca Sobande reflect on society's nurturing and obstructing of emotional expression, physical touch, and connectedness between different species and spaces.
Through the music of feeling across genres from nu-metal to hip-hop, the spectacle of "self-help" social media content, and powerful pop culture portrayals of (im)mortality and "monsters", Look, Don't Touch moves beyond the language of "being okay". It embraces tenderness, dreaming, love, solidarity, messiness, release, and ultimately, feeling.

    Undimmed is a revolutionary guide to help you break free from the habits that dim your life. This program is read by the author.When Cecily Mak decided to take a break from drinking, the most common response she got was “Oh, I didn’t know you had a problem.” A problem? She was not an addict, or even committing to sobriety. She had simply realized that alcohol helped her avoid difficult feelings—but that it dimmed the good parts of her life along with the bad. She wanted to live her life with clarity, not avoid it.Many of us are taught to believe that escapist and addictive behaviors are fine as long as they are not “problems” or wholesale addictions. But this binary mindset robs us of a more present life and our ability to make changes before the behavior becomes an unshakeable habit. What you use to dim your life may not be a substance—it might even be something healthy, like exercise, food, or work. And every dimmer exists on a spectrum from use, to heavy use, to potential abuse or worse. It’s not about what you do, but how and why you do it. While leaving her unwanted habits behind, Mak developed the Eight Awarenesses—a set of principles we can use for inspiration and guidance on the path to embodying a clear life. Each one serves as an invitation to explore a deeper understanding of ourselves and our choices, and the empowerment that comes with choosing to live a life undimmed.  Undimmed is an invitation to choose freedom from the habits that dim our lives and to embrace the full spectrum of experiences that life has to offer.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    Eye-opening revelations from Scripture and science about why we sleep, dream, and rest--and why they are such gifts. 
In our age of hurry, productivity, and constant distraction, sleep is often treated as an inconvenient pause or means of self-optimization. We've forgotten the deeper, theological meaning of rest and the profound spiritual lessons we can learn from our God-given need for sleep. 
Drawing from Scripture, science, cultural commentary, and personal reflections, Brett McCracken shows how sleep, rest, and Sabbath are not just necessary downtimes or missed opportunities to be productive--they are sacred practices that deepen our relationship with God, nurture our love for others, and bear witness to his grace. 
The Wisdom of Sleep calls you to a higher view of this essential and holy part of our lives. 
Throughout the book, you'll discover that sleep, rest, and dreams are surprising gifts from God. You'll learn the astonishing science behind the ways sleep revives and restores us, and how this God-designed physical reality daily reminds us of spiritual truths. As you better understand and embrace God's good design, you'll grow in love for him and help point other weary souls to the ultimate rest they can have in him. 
The wisdom of sleep is not just in its brilliant design and biological benefits. It's also in the way sleep and rest bear witness to our createdness, our salvation, and our eternal future--when all restlessness will find repose in God's presence.
