    An exploration of the transformative power of storytelling 
 
Therapy is about storytelling. The therapeutic session provides a safe space for clients' stories to unfold and become transformed. Here, Hugo Kamya draws from his own upbringing in Uganda, where stories were woven into everyday life for teaching, survival, and understanding the natural world. The book bridges traditional storytelling with narrative therapy, illustrating how stories shape personal identity and foster healing. It emphasizes how the stories we tell about ourselves―and those told about us―inform our sense of self, relationships, and belonging. The book explores trauma, resilience, spirituality, and cultural identity, and offers insights into working with diverse populations. It underscores the transformative power of storytelling in therapy, encouraging practitioners to connect with their own narratives and the stories of others as a path to healing.

    Our Search for Belonging - How...

    Why are we so divided today? Paradoxically, Howard Ross, author of Everyday Bias, says it's our compulsion to belong to a group--something hardwired into us-- that ends up making us deeply connected with some, yet deeply divided from others. Ross shows how we can overcome this growing tribalism. 
 
We are living in a world of almost unparalleled separation. People are no longer disagreeing, but are instead disavowing each other's rights to an opinion. What is driving this polarization, and how can we overcome it? Howard Ross says that ironically it's our profound need to belong. He delves deeply into the powerful psychological, neurological, and biological forces that drive us to want to identify so strongly with a group we're sometimes even willing to sacrifice our individual identity. 
Drawing on his decades of leadership in the diversity and inclusion field, Ross probes the depth and impact of this growing tribalism, the role social media plays in exacerbating it, the ways it impacts every aspect of the daily lives, and how to combat it.  Readers will gain tools for exploring contentious dialogue in healthier ways and guidelines for breaking down barriers and building bridges across difference, and organizations and institutions will be able to develop approaches that can open dialogue and encourage mutual understanding.

    British politician Benjamin Disraeli gave this speech in 1872. It details the Conservative Party’s platform, which stressed the role that the nobility, church, and House of Commons each plays in government. Disraeli also took the opportunity to criticize the actions of the Liberal Party, which had been in power for the last four years. Conservative policies soon made a comeback, as Disraeli beat out the Liberal opposition to serve as prime minister from 1874-1880.
