  We often feel leaders must be detached and aloof, but Sasha Chanoff explains how he became a better leader--and saved lives--when he chose empathy and altruism. Through his extraordinary story and the stories of other brave leaders, Sasha inspires all leaders to be guided by their deepest moral values. 
   
   
  We may never know when or where our calling as leaders will be revealed and put to the test. The decisions we make when faced with a crisis may shape our purpose for the rest of our lives. Sasha Chanoff here expands on his own story, first recounted on The Moth podcast as "An Impossible Choice." Charged with evacuating a specific number of refugees, Sasha and his colleague find a group of widows and orphans not on the rescue list. Leaving them behind will mean their death. But attempting to take them will jeopardize the lives of all those on the list. 
   
  Sasha and David have gathered other stories of crisis and decision, and have drawn out six principles for confronting critical decisions. They reveal the opportunities present in the hardest decisions. From Crisis to Calling is about recognizing your moral center, acting on it, and using it to shape and guide your life and the life of your organization. It's about how preparing for hard decisions can transform you into an inspiring, trusted and ethical leader. It celebrates the power of altruism, which is too often unappreciated in the leadership toolkit.

  Why It's Normal to be a Mistress

  In Why It's Normal to be a Mistress, A.A. Castor offers a provocative exploration of the hidden dimensions of extramarital relationships, challenging the notion that infidelity is simply a moral failing. Drawing on evolutionary biology, cultural history, and personal narratives, Castor reveals how the mistress role has long been shaped by societal pressures, unspoken desires, and the human quest for emotional fulfillment. 
  Far from glamorizing betrayal, this book delves into the complexity of female sexuality and the psychological forces that drive some women to seek connection beyond conventional boundaries. Castor examines how arranged marriages, patriarchal norms, and changing social attitudes have historically paved the way for mistresses to emerge as both subjects of scandal and symbols of empowerment. By tracing these legacies, Why It's Normal to be a Mistress provides a nuanced understanding of why certain women repeatedly choose this path, even when it carries profound emotional and relational consequences. 
  Through empathetic storytelling and rigorous research, Castor dismantles the simplistic judgments that often dominate discussions about infidelity. Instead, the focus is on fostering a deeper awareness of the biological, psychological, and cultural underpinnings that shape human intimacy. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs about fidelity, desire, and self-expression, recognizing that genuine understanding does not equate to moral approval. Ultimately, this book offers a bold invitation to question long-held assumptions, expand our definitions of love and loyalty, and engage in a more honest, compassionate dialogue about the intricate tapestry of human relationships

  The Creative Self - Beyond...

  "Be the best you can be!" Practically from the moment we are born, we are taught to optimize our lives—to devote ourselves to increasing our productivity and efficiency, which, we are told, will make us happier and more successful. The imperative of constant self-improvement, however, drains us dry even as it promises to build us up. 
   
   
   
  The Creative Self delves into the hegemony of neoliberal self-optimization and turns to psychoanalysis in search of an alternative. In paired chapters, Mari Ruti and Gail M. Newman examine the works of the psychoanalysts Marion Milner and Donald W. Winnicott. They provide deeply personal accounts of how these thinkers resonate with day-to-day life, exploring modes of selfhood that subtly but profoundly resist the lure and escape the trap of competitive individualism. Milner urges us to relinquish the ego in the face of loss and lack, and Winnicott asks us to accept the paradoxes of the self instead of demanding their resolution. Together, their insights help us flourish where neoliberal self-improvement would stifle us. Combining the intellectual, the personal, and the political from two perspectives that converge and diverge in striking ways, this book offers an antidote to transactional individualism and envisions forms of creative living beyond its confines.

  Tonight on Television - The...

  What’s considered the worst crime and who’s the most hated person in America? Most would say child sexual abuse and the pedophile. The principle’s everywhere. How do we normally deal with it? To put it poetically: to go over Thor’s face in the United States and overlook God, the truth of the matter, repeat the vampire. Tonight on Television, a book of poetry, goes to the heart of the matter, the creation of the pedophile and proposes stopping the process where it starts, which is in the caring for of infants and toddlers. It employs the ideal of oneness, non-duality, instead of the formula of crime and punishment, in dealing with that, how it addresses the whole issue, paying particular attention to the hatred of the pedophile and the damage that does to society, which is not only the proliferation of child sex abuse, which, it must be said, the poem aims to stop. I’m the fellow, aren’t I? I’ve spent many years studying the issue, first in university, where, after getting a BA in English and minor in History (University of Houston, 1988), I spent three and a half years learning Classical Greek, translating Greek poetry into English verse, not only to learn the writing of poetry, but to access knowledge on ancient Greek sexuality in particular and on the formation of the human ego and sexual orientation in general, doing a self-study on the latter two by reading extensively in a variety of pertinent subjects. Then I did an unorthodox fieldwork for several years after Ieaving college in 1993, becoming a vagabond first in the United States and then the world, spending 10 years living in over 27 countries on 4 continents, during which time I paid particular attention to what when down in the families I lived with, as, being an adventure traveler, I usually lived and worked with the local population. You don't believe an autodidact can be an expert? Hey, I’m not just the One, whom everybody is; I’m the one to show you the world.
