Sinossi

The illustrated edition enhances the reader's experience, bringing Hawthorne's narratives to life. Nathaniel Hawthorne, a key figure in American literature, drew inspiration from his Puritan roots and heritage, as well as personal experiences, to craft stories that continue to resonate with readers today. His deep understanding of human psychology and his keen eye for moral dilemmas are evident throughout his works, making him a celebrated author.

    It's Not You It's Everything -...

    If we can agree on anything, it's that we are not okay. Our culture is reeling from the ravages of a global pandemic, a precipitous rise in depression and anxiety, suffocating debt, white supremacy, hypercapitalism, and a virulent political animus—to name a few. But what if it's not us? What if it's . . . well, everything? What if trying to conform to a sick culture is actually making us sick? 
 
 
 
In It's Not You, It's Everything psychotherapist and former pastor Eric Minton claims that the pernicious melding of capitalism and Christianity means a world of competition, perfection, and scarcity disguised as self-help and self-care. Rather than shaming, silencing, or medicating away our disappointment at not having obtained the happiness we were promised, however, Minton posits a radical alternative. In an impertinent, droll, yet pastoral voice, Minton suggests that our "not-okayness" will require rethinking everything we thought we knew about God, depression, the economy, culture, education, technology, and happiness. 
 
 
 
By naming all the ways we're not okay, we move away from fear and shame and toward love, and trust, and trustworthiness. We'll need nothing less than hip-hop, Mr. Rogers, liberation theology, and Jesus to get us there. But on the other side of our pain is a radical "okayness" that might just set us free.
