  The world is desperate for cobalt. It drives the proliferation of digital and clean technologies. But this "demon metal" has a horrific present and a troubled history. 
   
   
   
  The modern search for cobalt has brought investors back to a small town in Northern Canada, a place called Cobalt. Like the demon metal, this town has a dark and turbulent history. 
   
   
   
  The tale of the early-twentieth-century mining rush at Cobalt has been told as a settle's adventure, but Indigenous people had already been trading in metals from the region for two thousand years. And the events that happened here—the theft of Indigenous lands, the exploitation of a multicultural workforce, and the destruction of the natural environment—established a template for resource extraction that has been exported around the world. 
   
    
   
  Charlie Angus reframes the complex and intersectional history of Cobalt within a broader international frame—from the conquistadores to the Western gold rush to the struggles in the Democratic Republic of Congo today. He demonstrates how Cobalt set Canada on its path to become the world's dominant mining superpower.

  The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace. The twenty pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmonious in the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulence of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns. (Summary from the book)

  Do you ever feel trapped in a culture of comparison, cancellation, and us-against-them thinking? Have you struggled with mental health issues such as anger, anxiety, or depression? Do you feel like you'll never be attractive enough, smart enough, or successful enough? In our modern world of information overload and social media, it's easy to measure ourselves against total strangers, and likewise, to cast judgment on others. But what if this judgment is actually the source of our suffering? 
  Written by a dream team of mental health professionals and drawing on decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research, this groundbreaking guide offers profound and practical insight to overcome "the judgment trap"—once and for all. Using proven-effective techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and insights from spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, you'll learn to identify and challenge negative self-narratives, cultivate self-compassion, and build a lifelong foundation based on your most cherished values. 
  You'll discover four key skills to strengthen your mental health and well-being: awareness: practice mindfulness to overcome negative thoughts; acceptance: embrace what is and accept what you cannot change; compassion: cultivate kindness and compassion for yourself and others;  and values-based intention: act on deeply held values, rather than impulse. 
  And, most importantly, you'll learn to practice radical nonjudgment—awareness and acceptance of what is—to guide your life choices and cultivate wisdom, gratitude, connection, and joy.
