Nothing Is Hidden - The...

Barry Magid

“Using old koans as a jumping off point, Magid brings a wonderfully unorthodox (and helpful) perspective to traditional Zen teachings. As both Zen teacher and psychoanalyst, Magid unmasks the psychological naivete that is still all too prevalent in contemporary Zen practice, and shows how it can lead to problems for students, and tangled relationships between teachers and students. In each insightful essay, Magid makes a journey from a short koan into far territories of the heart.”—Susan Moon, author of This Is Getting Old 
In this inspiring and incisive offering, Barry Magid uses the language of modern psychology and psychotherapy to illuminate one of Buddhism's most powerful and often mysterious technologies: the Zen koan. What's more, Magid also uses the koans to expand upon the insights of psychology (especially self psychology and relational psychotherapy) and open for the reader new perspectives on the functioning of the human mind and heart. Nothing Is Hidden explores many rich themes, including facing impermanence and the inevitability of change, working skillfully with desire and attachment, and discovering when "surrender and submission" can be liberating and when they shade into emotional bypassing. With a sophisticated view of the rituals and teachings of traditional Buddhism, Magid helps us see how we sometimes subvert meditation into just another "curative fantasy" or make compassion into a form of masochism.

Being Black in America's Schools...

Brian Rashad Fuller

In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. 
 
 
 
As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system—as illustrated by the critical race theory debate—but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward.

The Narcissistic Relationship...

Cate Leitner

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
If you’ve ever wondered how a relationship that once felt so right turned into something so painful, we have something in common. 
I know the cycle intimately—the intense highs, the soul-crushing lows, the confusion that makes you question your own sanity. I lived it for over a decade. What started as love became fear, control, and emotional destruction. It wasn’t always obvious; it crept in. 
This book walks you through the six stages of a narcissistic relationship — from idealization to discard and hoovering — with compassion, clarity, and lived experience. You’ll learn what these patterns look like, why they’re so hard to escape, and most importantly, that you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. 
This isn’t theory — it’s survival turned insight. 
This audiobook is also the first in a full series exploring the hidden pain points of being with a narcissist — gaslighting, triangulation, comparison, self-blame, obsession, and letting go. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and gently walk you toward truth, validation, and emotional freedom. 
Whether you’re still in the relationship, just out, or still aching from the aftermath, I hope these words bring comfort — and a few of those powerful “oh my god, it wasn’t just me” moments. 
You deserve peace. Maybe this is the starting point.

Swoon - Fangirls Their Idols and...

Bea Martinez-Gatell

Swoon is a prehistory of the fangirl. From the Byromaniacs of Regency London to the screamers of Beatlemania, it revisits six defining moments in book, film and music history through the eyes of the girls and women who gave birth to pop culture as we know it today.
Far from passive consumers, these women were tastemakers, visionaries and cultural disruptors. Their obsessions shaped literary canons, built Hollywood icons and turned musicians into messiahs – long before social media came along. But with power came panic, especially when female fans and male stars were involved. Fandom became a moral and cultural battleground. What was at stake was women's right to want things they weren't supposed to want, feel things they weren't supposed to feel and express all these things loudly, shamelessly and in public.
