The Sociology of Everyday Life -...

Fred Grandsen

Everyday life is often taken for granted, filled with routines and interactions that seem ordinary. However, sociology reveals that even the most mundane moments are shaped by broader social forces. From morning commutes to casual conversations, every action we take is influenced by cultural norms, social structures, and historical contexts. Understanding everyday life through sociology allows us to see how society operates at both individual and collective levels, uncovering patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Sociologists study everyday life to explore how individuals interact, how social norms are maintained, and how power dynamics influence our behaviors. The interactions we engage in, whether greeting a coworker or ordering coffee at a café, follow unspoken social rules. These rules, shaped by culture and history, guide our behaviors without us always being aware of them. For example, the way we dress, speak, and behave in public is dictated by societal expectations, which can vary across different cultures and historical periods. By analyzing these seemingly simple actions, sociology provides insight into how larger social structures function.
The concept of the “sociological imagination,” introduced by C. Wright Mills, is central to understanding everyday life. It encourages individuals to connect their personal experiences to larger societal issues. For instance, someone struggling with job insecurity may view their situation as a personal failure. However, from a sociological perspective, their experience can be linked to broader economic trends, shifts in labor markets, and corporate policies. This shift in perspective helps individuals understand that personal troubles are often rooted in social structures rather than isolated events.

Side Hustle Safety Net - How...

Alexandrea J. Ravenelle

The first major study of how the pandemic affected gig workers—a sociological exploration that reads like a novel. 
 
 
  
This is the story of what the most vulnerable wage earners—gig workers, restaurant staff, early-career creatives, and minimum-wage laborers—do when the economy suddenly collapses. In Side Hustle Safety Net, Alexandrea J. Ravenelle builds on interviews with nearly two hundred gig-based and precarious workers, conducted during the height of the pandemic, to uncover the unique challenges they faced in unprecedented times. 
 
 
  
This book looks at both the officially unemployed and the "forgotten jobless"—a digital-era demographic that turned to side hustles—and reveals how they fared. CARES Act assistance allowed some to change careers, start businesses, perhaps transform their lives. However, gig workers and those involved in "polyemployment" found themselves at the mercy of outdated unemployment systems, vulnerable to scams, and attempting dubious survival strategies. Ultimately, Side Hustle Safety Net argues that the rise of the gig economy, partnered with underemployment and economic instability, has increased worker precarity with disastrous consequences.

20 Embodied Practices for...

Jan Winhall, PhD. Stephen Porges

Trauma and addiction heal in tandem with this paradigm-shifting approach. 
 
 
 
What if addiction, dissociation, and other manifestations of trauma were not framed as diseases or disorders, but rather as adaptive methods of regulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS)? This book takes that approach, and guides listeners through twenty embodied practices that promote the rewiring of the ANS. By integrating the latest neuroscience from Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory with Eugene Gendlin's embodied felt sense, Jan Winhall's Felt Sense Polyvagal Model is a paradigm-shifting, deeply somatic approach to healing trauma and addiction. 
 
 
 
Listeners are presented with two vital tools for healing: learning how to recognize and rewire their autonomic state, and finding the felt sense of somatic wisdom. This compassionate and inviting model centers the intelligence of the body to allow for deep healing, and these twenty step-by step exercises present an accessible approach for clinicians, their clients, and anyone on the journey to healing from trauma and addiction. The book's exercises are uniquely designed to be completed either with a mental health professional, another person engaged in this embodied process (a felt sense partner), or both.
