  From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient.With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure.But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.

  Supportiveness - The Encouraging...

  Supportiveness is one of the most deeply human traits—a quiet yet powerful force that helps others feel seen, heard, and understood. It’s more than simply being nice or offering a few kind words. At its core, supportiveness is about being emotionally present in someone else’s world, especially when they’re navigating pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. It means showing up with intention and empathy, even when you don’t have all the answers. In a world where distractions are endless and genuine connection can be rare, the ability to offer steady, meaningful support is a true gift. 
  To fully grasp what it means to be supportive, it’s important to understand its emotional depth. Supportiveness isn't about fixing problems for someone else. Instead, it's about standing beside them as they face what’s hard. It’s offering your presence—not your solutions. When someone is struggling, they often don’t need advice right away. They need to know they’re not alone. They need to feel safe in expressing themselves without fear of being judged or dismissed. That emotional safety is the foundation of support, and it starts with your willingness to be vulnerable too. 
  Trust is essential in any supportive relationship. Without trust, support can feel shallow or performative. But when trust is built through consistent actions—like showing up when it matters, keeping confidences, and listening without jumping to conclusions—your support becomes something the other person can lean on. It's this trust that allows others to open up, to speak their truth, and to feel a little less burdened by the weight they carry. Over time, your reliability becomes a source of strength, not just in moments of crisis but in everyday life.

  Marginalized Couples in Therapy...

  BIPOC and LGBTQI relationships have unique needs because minority stress, racialized trauma, and transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia can compromise one's ability to feel safe enough to connect to the world and others. Yet, all too often, marginalized couples are let down by conventional therapeutic models which were designed for white, cisgendered, heterosexual clients. 
   
  This book puts forth an innovative therapeutic approach specifically designed for working with the impact of systemic oppression in couples therapy. Divided into three parts, therapists will explore systemic trauma, discover ways to build transformative therapeutic postures via the BIOME and PRIDE models, and make use of actionable methods to support clients. By practicing critical consciousness, prioritizing the lived experiences of clients, and moving delicately through the imbalance of power inherent in the therapeutic relationship, clinicians will gain a better understanding of their clients' intimate relationship experiences, and how best to serve them. 
   
  Practitioners are invited to become active agents of change, making this not only a practical guide but also a call to action for fostering a more just and equitable world in which intimacy flourishes for all.

  Bridging Our Political Divide: How Liberals and Conservatives Can Understand Each Other and Find Common Ground is an essential contribution to a better national conversation. 
   
   
   
  Psychologist Kenneth Barish explains the sources and consistency of our political beliefs and why we continue to disagree about fundamental issues in American life. He offers antidotes to the angry, repetitive, and unproductive arguments that now dominate our political culture. Barish teaches us how to listen, think, and speak about our political opinions in a way that allows us to understand each other's concerns, resist false dichotomies and ideological certainty, see new perspectives and possibilities, and find common ground. The concluding chapter shows how we can move beyond partisan divisions toward pragmatic solutions and a better future for America's children. 
   
   
   
  This fundamentally hopeful book is an essential listen for students in all areas of study, for professionals in the fields of conflict resolution, communication, political science, and social psychology, and for anyone seeking to improve the quality of their conversations with people who may disagree with them, in both politics and in their personal relationships.

  Alternative History of Britain...

  Taking a similar approach to his successful If Rome Hadn't Fallen, Timothy Venning explores the various decision points in a fascinating period of British history and the alternative paths that it might have taken. 
   
   
   
  Dr. Timothy Venning starts within an outline of the process by which much of Britain came to be settled by Germanic tribes after the end of Roman rule, as far as it can be determined from the sparse and fragmentary sources. He then moves on to discuss a series of scenarios, which might have altered the course of subsequent history dramatically. For example, was a reconquest by the native British ever a possibility (under 'Arthur' or someone else)? Which of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms might have united England sooner and would this have kept the Danes out? And, of course, what if Harold Godwinson had won at Hastings? 
   
   
   
  While necessarily speculative, all the scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions and trends that shaped British history and help to shed light upon them. In so doing they help the listener to understand why things panned out as they did, as well as what might have been.
