  "Reality Check is a book I wish I had 15 years ago. It’s packed with examples and insights on how to get your questions right in order to improve and change. " — Ola Helland, Writer of the comedy/science TV show Brille. 
  Amidst the constant whirlwind of change, clarity feels elusive as we desperately grasp for answers when it’s the transformative power of questions that we truly need. Author Carlo Mahfouz, a fervent believer in the art of inquiry, invites us on a voyage to uncover the profound clarity within these catalytic moments—epiphanies he terms "Reality Checks." 
  Synthesizing decades of change leadership experience with research-backed frameworks, Carlo Mahfouz reverse-engineered these moments and laid bare the hidden preparations, allowing anyone to formulate the right strategic questions at the right time — bringing a philosophical perspective down to earth through Carlo's own immigrant journey, his unlikely opera training, and more to humanize each rich concept. 
  Mahfouz taps unconventional wisdom from interviews with global innovators from across the world, such as:CEO of the world’s first mind-controlled bionic arm;VP of strategy at a Fortune 500 science and technology innovator; Senior Executive at one of the world’s leading EdTech companies in Healthcare. 
  … and many more with experience ranging from working at NASA to Nonduality coaching and selfless leadership. 
  You’ll examine overlooked elements like context, time, and self-awareness through a potent new lens designed to upgrade your sense-making skills in chaotic times. Mahfouz aims to help you experience your own "Reality Check" to unlock the art of precision and presence in your leadership, innovation, and life.

  The Once and Future Sex - Going...

  A vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women's beauty, sexuality, and behavior. 
   
   
   
  What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be? In this high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time—and what hasn't. 
   
   
   
  Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable, and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. 
   
   
   
  In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

  Freedom of Speech - Navigating...

  Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies, integral to the exercise of individual autonomy and the pursuit of truth. At its core, it is the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government reprisal or censorship. This principle is enshrined in numerous legal documents, most notably the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees "the freedom of speech, or of the press," protecting the individual’s right to speak openly in the public sphere. 
    
  The origins of free speech can be traced back to philosophical and political thinkers of the Enlightenment era, who emphasized the importance of reason, individual rights, and personal liberty. Thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, and John Stuart Mill argued that the free exchange of ideas was essential for the flourishing of society, allowing for the progress of knowledge, the correction of errors, and the protection of political freedom. These ideas laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of free expression as a fundamental human right. 
    
  However, the right to free speech is not absolute. Throughout history, the boundaries of this freedom have been tested by a wide range of societal, political, and ethical concerns. From the regulation of speech in times of war or national security threats to the ongoing debates over hate speech, defamation, and misinformation, societies have struggled to find a balance between protecting free expression and safeguarding the common good. This tension continues to shape the debate surrounding free speech, particularly in the context of emerging technologies like social media, which have transformed the landscape of communication.

  A daring literary fusion of pop culture and feminism, Swifterature captures the special connection between English literature and the worldwide phenomenon of Taylor Swift. 
  Swifterature captures a unique fusion of different elements: fandom, feminism, and a defense of both literature and popular culture. 
  The narrative is split into thirteen chapters that use Swift's lyrics as departure points. The listener experiences the inspiring influence of English literature as Swift’s lens breathes new vitality and urgency into older texts. McCausland also writes about her own experiences as she copes with intense media scrutiny and is forced to defend her academic integrity. 
  She argues that Swift, through her self-conscious engagement with classic works of literature and her extraordinary popularity, invites us to reflect not only on the culture of our past but also of our present. Swifterature shows how Swift’s place on the world’s stage can teach us about many things, from feminism to politics, nature to childhood. In the process the book makes a compelling case that studying Taylor Swift also turns us into better readers, not only of literature but of ourselves and each other.
