  The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all. 
   
   
   
  Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea—that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness—has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon. 
   
   
   
  Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn't. 
   
   
   
  Filled with actionable advice and real-world examples, this book will change the way you think about your brain, body, and ability to stay calm in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming and stressful.

  Celebrating the beauty, power, and joy of female friendship 
  Wingman: a pilot who flies behind and outside the leader of a flying formation. 
  While researching her first book, That’s What She Said, Kimothy Joy discovered that the famous women she was profiling were not alone in their success. Each of them were propelled forward by a supporter—a wing woman—a sister, a mom, a best friend, a close confidant. The remarkable partnerships they shared were as multifaceted and complex as the individual women themselves.  
  Extraordinary Wing Women is Joy’s tribute to the importance of female camaraderie. This collection features 33 stories, each varying in length. Some will be familiar power duos—Oprah and Gayle, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, Venus and Serena Williams. Others are less known though just as inspiring such as the friendship of Julia Child and her editor Avis DeVoto, Junko Tabei and her all-women mountaineering team, and the Mariposas—the Mirabel sisters who overthrew a dictator in the Dominican Republic. The women featured are from across the world and from diverse periods of history. They are activists, artists, scientists, politicians, athletes, musicians, writers, and more—role models for every woman. 
  Joy dedicates Extraordinary Wing Women to the generations of women who are dismantling the myth that we must compete with one another to pursue and achieve our dreams. History and fiction have shown that we are stronger when we support one another. Joy hopes to inspire and teach us that we, too, have our own wings and can soar higher than ever before with our wing women beside us.

  This book captures a journey marked by profound loss, boundless grace, surrender, and ultimate joy, all orchestrated by the guiding hand of God. Presented through a sincere compilation of narratives, stories, and poetry, Lanford invites readers into an inspiring exploration of his personal odyssey through the depths of grief following the passing of his wife of 42 years. Within these confessional, redemptive, and restorative writings lies a narrative of forgiveness, renewal, and the extravagant love of God. 
  Rather than a conventional guide on coping with grief, Lanford emphasizes to readers that this book aims to sensitize readers to God's relentless desire to love and pursue them through the darkest moments. Even those who have not experienced the loss of a spouse or a beloved can cultivate empathy and compassion for those navigating such spaces. 
  Lanford clarifies, "This isn't just a self-help manual; it's an exploration designed to stir the soul, encouraging contemplation of God and fostering an awareness that, in times of distress, God does not abandon us. His intention is to bring comfort and meet us precisely where we need Him the most." 
  When asked about the key takeaway for readers, Lanford expresses, "God epitomizes absolute love. He actively pursues us in our deepest grief and heartache, offering measured and sometimes overflowing mercy. He equips us with strength for each day and every ciucumstance."

  How to Say No - An Ancient Guide...

  Diogenes

  The Cynics were ancient Greek philosophers who stood athwart the flood of society's material excess, unexamined conventions, and even norms of politeness and thundered "No!" Diogenes, the most famous Cynic, wasn't shy about literally extending his middle finger to the world. When asked why he was called Diogenes the Dog, he replied "because I fawn on those who give, I bark at those who don't, and I bite scoundrels." How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters—from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity. 
   
   
   
  With their "less is more" approach to life, the Cynics speak urgently to our world of climate change, economic uncertainty, and psychic malaise. Although the Cynics weren't writers, their memorable utterances and behavior were recorded by their admirers and detractors, and M. D. Usher offers fresh new translations of appealing selections from this body of writing—ranging from street sermons and repartee to biography and snapshots of Cynics in action. 
   
   
   
  Complete with introductions to the volume, this lively book demonstrates why the Cynics still retain their power to surprise us and make us laugh—and to make us think and question how we live.

  Randy Shilts was the preeminent LGBTQ+ reporter of his generation. 
   
   
   
  He was the first openly gay reporter assigned to a gay beat at a mainstream paper and one of the nation's most influential chroniclers of gay history, politics, and culture. Shilts wrote three seminal works on the community: The Mayor of Castro Street, on the life, assassination, and legacy of Harvey Milk; And the Band Played On, detailing the failure of politics as usual during the early AIDS epidemic; and Conduct Unbecoming, a history of the US military's mistreatment of LGBTQ service members. 
   
    
   
  Yet the intimate life story of Randy Shilts has been left unwritten. When the Band Played On tells that story, recognizing his legacy as a trailblazing figure in gay activism, journalism, and public policy. 
   
   
   
  The resulting narrative tells the tale of a singularly gifted voice, a talented yet insecure young man whose coming of age became intricately linked to the historic peaks and devastating perils of modern gay liberation. 
   
   
   
  When the Band Played On is the authoritative account of Randy Shilts's trailblazing life, as well as his legacy of shaping the history-making events he covered.
