  A gifted healer’s powerful guidance on how therapy can help us revitalize our emotional landscape in an increasingly stressful world “A wise and compassionate book.” ―The Washington Post Mary Pipher's groundbreaking investigation of America's “girl-poisoning culture,” Reviving Ophelia, established its author as one of the nation's foremost authorities on family issues. In Letters to a Young Therapist, Pipher shares what she has learned in thirty years of clinical practice helping warring families, alienated adolescents, and harried professionals restore peace and beauty to their lives. Through an exhilarating mix of storytelling and sharp-eyed observation, Pipher reveals her refreshingly inventive approach to therapy fiercely optimistic, free of dogma or psychobabble, and laced with generous warmth and practical common sense. Whether she's recommending daily swims for a sluggish teenager, encouraging a timid husband to become bolder, or simply bearing witness to a bereaved parent's sorrow, Pipher's compassion and insight shine from every page. Letters to a Young Therapist is a powerfully engaging guide to living a healthy life.

  The Nature Within Us - A Journey...

  We all live with questions that quietly shape our lives. 
  Who are we, beneath the noise of expectations and beliefs? 
   What does it really mean to be good?   
   And how do we stay gentle — with ourselves and with each other — in a world that can feel so hard and unforgiving? 
  The Nature Within Us is a reflective, deeply human exploration of love, reason, compassion, and the quiet courage it takes simply to care. Blending personal reflection, moral philosophy, psychology, and story, this book invites us to slow down and look honestly at what guides our choices — not with judgment, but with curiosity and kindness. 
  Across its chapters, we explore forgiveness, empathy, fear, harm, responsibility, and the ways we stumble — and keep trying — to do right by one another. Some chapters are tender. Some are challenging. A few may stay with you long after you finish listening. 
  This is not a book about perfection. 
   It is a book about being human — flawed, hopeful, learning, and trying again. 
  If you’ve ever wondered what truly matters, or how we can build a more compassionate life — beginning with ourselves — The Nature Within Us is an invitation to walk that path together.

  Small Power - How Local Parties...

  An insider's look into the largely anonymous volunteers in local party organizations who make decisions in elections with profound implications for American democracy. 
   
   
   
  Although scholars have long recognized that local American parties play an important role in elections, surprisingly little is known about the individuals who lead these typically small, volunteer-based organizations. As David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller show in Small Power, local party leaders influence the electoral process in myriad ways: They recruit and support candidates, interface with state-wide and federal campaigns, and get out the vote in their communities. Drawing from a survey of over 850 Democratic and Republican local party chairs, a nationally representative sample of voters, and dozens of in-depth interviews, the authors describe how parties are organized, who party chairs are, and how they serve the party. Leveraging novel experiments that illuminate how chairs make choices about which individuals to recruit as candidates—as well as whether those choices reflect voters' preferences—Small Power sheds new light on how seemingly mundane local decisions can shape party goals, influence candidate pipelines, and affect who ends up winning elections.
