  NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
   
   
  This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
   
  What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
   
  The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.

  Introduction to ADHD in Women 
  Though ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in boys and men, it affects girls and women as well. A recent study found that girls with ADHD are more likely to have anxiety and mood disorders, as well as problems with social interactions. They are also more likely to have lower self-esteem and problems with body image. 
  There is still a lot we don't know about how ADHD affects women and girls. In particular, we need more research on how best to treat the unique symptoms that affect them. However, there are some treatments that have been shown to be effective for both genders. One such treatment is mindfulness meditation.Treatment for ADHD in women 
  While medication may be the most talked about treatment for ADHD, there are other options that can be helpful. Treatment for ADHD in women often includes therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or mindfulness meditation. In a landmark study at the UCLA in 2007, 24 adults with ADHD took part in an 8 week programme of regular guided meditations. Participants reported improvements in their anxiety and depressive symptoms along with improvements in ADHD symptoms and in test performance on tasks measuring attention and cognitive inhibition. 
  My hope is that through regularly listening to the guided meditations in this audiobook, you can also benefit from an improvement in your symptoms.Guided meditation book for ADHD and women 
  There are 4 meditations in this audiobook, which I hope will help you relax, focus and live a happier life. The topics are selected to be a cross section of relaxation, and mindfulness practice, that, through regular practice and usage, could help you, step by step, manage your ADHD.

  Passion Plays - How Religion...

  Randall Balmer

  Randall Balmer was a late convert to sports talk radio, but he quickly became addicted, just like millions of other devoted American sports fans. As a historian of religion, the more he listened, Balmer couldn’t help but wonder how the fervor he heard related to religious practice. Houses of worship once railed against Sabbath-busting sports events, but today most willingly accommodate Super Bowl Sunday. On the other hand, basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, was an ardent follower of Muscular Christianity and believed the game would help develop religious character. But today those religious roots are largely forgotten. 
   
  Here one of our most insightful writers on American religion trains his focus on that other great passion—team sports—to reveal their surprising connections. From baseball to basketball and football to ice hockey, Balmer explores the origins and histories of big-time sports from the late nineteenth century to the present, with entertaining anecdotes and fresh insights into their ties to religious life. Referring to Notre Dame football, the Catholic Sun called its fandom “a kind of sacramental.” Legions of sports fans reading Passion Plays will recognize exactly what that means.

  In a world saturated with digital imagery and instantaneous gratification, our collective obsession with explicit media has never been more powerful—or more misunderstood. This book takes you on an illuminating journey into the heart of that fascination, challenging readers to look beyond the glossy veneer of online fantasies and examine the deeper forces at play. Drawing on cutting-edge research, personal anecdotes, and cultural analysis, it delves into the psychological, social, and ethical dimensions of porn's allure, revealing how it both mirrors and molds our attitudes toward desire, intimacy, and self-worth. 
  From exploring the evolutionary roots of sexual curiosity to dissecting the modern impact of virtual reality and AI-generated content, the chapters highlight the complex interplay between fantasy and reality. You'll discover how explicit media can distort body image, perpetuate stereotypes, and skew expectations of real-life relationships, yet also provide opportunities for personal exploration and empowerment. Through balanced perspectives and practical insights, this book offers guidance for navigating the blurred lines between healthy curiosity and compulsive behavior, ultimately advocating for a more mindful, compassionate understanding of sexuality. 
  Whether you're seeking to deepen your self-awareness, improve communication in your relationships, or engage in meaningful cultural dialogue, this book provides a roadmap for harnessing the creative potential of fantasy while embracing the rich, imperfect authenticity of human connection. By reconciling the allure of porn with the realities of genuine intimacy, it offers hope for a future where desire and emotional well-being coexist in a more informed, balanced, and fulfilling way.
