  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - Embracing Life's Challenges through Acceptance - cover

    Acceptance and Commitment...

    Life is a complex tapestry of joys, sorrows, successes, and challenges. As humans, we often find ourselves striving to avoid discomfort, suppressing unpleasant emotions, or seeking control over our inner struggles. Yet, these strategies often lead to frustration and a sense of disconnection from what truly matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers a compelling alternative: a way to embrace life’s full spectrum while committing to actions that align with your values and aspirations. 
    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a modern behavioral therapy rooted in the principle of psychological flexibility—the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, remain present, and take meaningful actions even in the face of adversity. Instead of battling unwanted thoughts and emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages acceptance of them as natural elements of human existence. This shift in perspective allows individuals to redirect their energy from avoidance to engagement, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment. 
    The framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is built around six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, mindfulness, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. These processes are not isolated steps but interconnected skills that work together to enhance well-being. Acceptance teaches you to make room for difficult emotions without judgment or resistance. Cognitive defusion helps you view your thoughts with clarity, reducing their power to dominate your actions. Mindfulness anchors you in the present moment, while self-as-context fosters a stable and compassionate sense of self. Values clarification identifies what truly matters to you, and committed action translates those values into meaningful, goal-directed behavior.

    “One of the nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders” (Washington Post), a New York Times bestselling author, community organizer, investigative journalist, Ivy League professor, and former head of the NAACP, Ben Jealous draws from a life lived on America’s racial fault line to deliver a series of gripping and lively parables that call on each of us to reconcile, heal, and work fearlessly to make America one nation. 
    Never Forget Our People Were Always Free illuminates for each of us how the path to healing America’s broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own.The son of parents who had to leave Maryland because their cross-racial marriage was illegal, Ben Jealous’ lively, courageous and empathetic storytelling calls on every American to look past deeply-cut divisions and recognize we are all in the same boat now. Along the way Jealous grapples with hidden American mysteries, including:Why do white men die from suicide more often than black men die from murder?How did racial profiling kill an American president?What happens when a Ku Klux Klansman wrestles with what Jesus actually said? How did Dave Chappelle know the DC Snipers were Black? Why shouldn't the civil rights movement give up on rednecks?When is what we have collectively forgotten about race more important than what we actually know?What do the most indecipherable things our elders say tell us about ourselves? 
     Told as a series of parables, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free features intimate glimpses of political, and faith leaders as different as Jack Kemp, Stacey Abrams, and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and heroes as unlikely as a retired constable, a female pirate from Madagascar, a long lost Irishman, a death row inmate, and a man with a confederate flag over his heart. 
    More than anything, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free offers readers hope America’s oldest wounds can heal and her oldest divisions be overcome. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  • Brooding Over Bloody Revenge - Enslaved Women's Lethal Resistance - cover

    Brooding Over Bloody Revenge -...

    From the colonial through the antebellum era, enslaved women in the US used lethal force as the ultimate form of resistance. By amplifying their voices and experiences, Brooding over Bloody Revenge strongly challenges assumptions that enslaved women only participated in covert, non-violent forms of resistance, when in fact they consistently seized justice for themselves and organized toward revolt. Nikki M. Taylor expertly reveals how women killed for deeply personal instances of injustice committed by their owners. The stories presented, which span centuries and legal contexts, demonstrate that these acts of lethal force were carefully pre-meditated. Enslaved women planned how and when their enslavers would die, what weapons and accomplices were necessary, and how to evade capture in the aftermath. Original and compelling, Brooding Over Bloody Revenge presents a window into the lives and philosophies of enslaved women who had their own ideas about justice and how to achieve it.
