  Black women deserve a safe therapeutic space to process their experiences. 
   
  As the fastest growing population in education, economics, entrepreneurship, and international travel, Black women are forging a world of their own. They are breaking generational cycles, reinventing social norms, and developing new identities. However, as a double marginalized minority, Black women are also navigating socially constructed ideas of race, oppression, and privilege. Many well-intentioned clinicians lack the skills and knowledge to properly support, guide, and develop inquiries with these clients. 
   
  Clinicians will find foundational information on the types of experiences that cause many Black women to seek therapy as well as ways to support them on their therapeutic journey. Topics such as nontraditional lifestyles, work ethic and legacy, understanding friendships, embracing newfound freedoms and opportunities, moving beyond stereotypes, understanding and working with emotions, addressing trauma, and mental health disorders through a cultural lens are explored.

  One of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack, Universities focuses on the heartland of contemporary antisemitic thinking, which is scholarship; and its reflection in student discourse on campus. 
  Contributions go back to Sartre and to debates of Marx’s time; another looks at the New Left forged in the civil rights movement, and shows how antisemitic responses to the 2023 violence were anticipated by some of the responses to the 1967 Arab League aggression. The feminist movement and ‘progressives’ more generally come under scrutiny, and there is analysis of antisemitism on campus after 7 October, showing how it is tolerated and protected there; including in archaeological attempts to deny that there is an ancient Jewish history in Israel. 
  This work will appeal to scholars, students and activists with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies and the politics of Israel.

  Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell is one of the most influential motivational speeches ever given, emphasizing that wealth, success, and opportunity are often closer than we realize. Originally delivered as a lecture over 6,000 times before being published in 1890, this classic work argues that anyone can find prosperity and fulfillment by recognizing and cultivating the opportunities in their own surroundings. 
  Through powerful storytelling and real-world examples, Conwell demonstrates that true riches—both material and spiritual—are not found in distant lands but right where we stand. Narrated by Nathan Edwards, this audiobook breathes new life into Conwell’s timeless wisdom, inspiring listeners to rethink their approach to success and self-improvement. 
  This enduring work remains a cornerstone of personal development literature, influencing countless entrepreneurs, business leaders, and success coaches. Acres of Diamonds is more than a lesson in wealth—it is a call to recognize and harness the potential that already exists in our lives.

  Simplicity cannot be found unless one is free inwardly - 24 July 1949 
  • Only when the mind and heart are really simple is one able to solve the many problems that confront us. 
  • A religious man is he who is inwardly simple. 
  • Q: I have been a member of various religious organizations but you have 
  destroyed them all. I am utterly bored and work because hunger forces me to 
  it. I am afraid to commit suicide. What on earth am I to do? 
  • Q: What have you to say to a person who, in quiet moments, sees the truth of 
  what you say, who has a longing to keep awake but who finds himself repeatedly lost in a sea of impulse and small desires?
