    Anger is a powerful emotion that can impact our lives in profound ways. It can arise in moments of frustration, disappointment, or perceived injustice, and, if left unchecked, can lead to regrettable actions and damaged relationships. While anger is a natural and normal response, learning to manage it effectively is crucial for maintaining healthy connections, achieving personal growth, and finding inner peace. When we allow anger to control us, it can fuel conflicts, impact our mental and physical health, and create barriers to personal and professional success. 
    Effective anger management is about more than suppressing or ignoring angry feelings; it’s about understanding, channeling, and transforming those feelings in constructive ways. This requires self-awareness, discipline, and a commitment to self-improvement. Through recognizing the underlying causes of anger, we can begin to address the root issues rather than simply reacting to the symptoms. Mastering anger management allows us to regain control over our emotional responses and, ultimately, our lives. 
    This book provides a comprehensive approach to managing anger by combining practical techniques, psychological insights, and real-life applications. Whether you’re someone who frequently experiences intense anger or simply looking to improve emotional balance, this guide offers tools to help you navigate challenging situations with clarity and control. Each chapter is designed to address different aspects of anger, from recognizing triggers and practicing immediate calming techniques to implementing long-term strategies for lasting emotional balance.

    Donna Bevan-Lee had a tough childhood. When her father was feeling playful, he roped her by the foot like a rodeo calf, yanking her to the ground every time the rope connected. In darker moods, he did far worse, his brutality excused by a complicit church. The abuse she suffered had profound and lasting consequences. 
    Too many adults have similar histories. Roughly a quarter of American children experience complex trauma resulting from abuse, neglect, catastrophic illness, or other adversity. Because such trauma affects the developing brain, it's not something we outgrow; it permanently alters our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behavior, often without our awareness. It derails our plans, sabotages our relationships, and convinces us that we're unworthy of happiness. It makes us vulnerable to addiction, obesity. depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and early death. It is a challenge like no other. 
    Dr. Bevan-Lee met the challenge of her childhood and helped other survivors to meet theirs. Now she has distilled her history. cutting-edge research, and four decades of clinical experience into a book for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Full of up-to-date information, practical help, compelling stories, and clear-eyed encouragement, this book is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and overcoming childhood trauma, written by someone who has been there.

    Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and the creation and appreciation of beauty. It examines what makes something aesthetically pleasing or beautiful, and the principles underlying the judgments and experiences related to these concepts. 
    Aesthetics addresses a wide range of questions: What is beauty? Can aesthetic value be objectively determined, or is it entirely subjective? What role do cultural and historical contexts play in shaping our perceptions of beauty and art? How do sensory experiences and emotions influence our aesthetic judgments? 
    The field of aesthetics is deeply interdisciplinary, intersecting with art criticism, cultural studies, psychology, and even neuroscience, to understand how humans perceive and respond to aesthetic experiences. Aesthetic theory often involves the analysis of artworks, literature, music, and natural beauty, seeking to uncover the principles and criteria that govern aesthetic appreciation and creation.

    It is the largest faith in the world, spans the globe, and stretches back in time nearly two thousand years. We are, of course, talking about Christianity.  
    Today, the dominance of the Christian faith appears to be a readily accepted fact. But back when it first rose to prominence, for most outside observers, such an idea would have seemed highly unlikely.  
    From its inception, Christianity was persecuted and hounded. Christians often paid a high price for their faith. They met underground and even in graveyards. They were misunderstood, and their message to outsiders seemed hopelessly strange and muddled. Back then, no one could have imagined that this “cult,” which often met in secret, small groups, would one day have huge churches and an even larger global presence. 
    Yet, despite the odds, Christianity proved to be unstoppable. How did such a thing happen? From the perspective of a believer, the answer to that question is quite clear: the divine hand of God was at work. But even if one does not subscribe to the Christian faith, there are certain aspects of Christianity that stand out and can be used as mile-markers as to how and why Christianity came to take such a prominent place in world history. 
    This audiobook takes a look at the full history of Christianity, from its earliest days as a persecuted sect to its acceptance and formalization at the Council of Nicaea to the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and the subsequent modern age.  
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The origins of Christianity and why people flocked to the religionThe life and ministry of JesusThe first Christian disciplesThe early Christian ChurchThe Council of Nicaea and the momentous impact it had on Christian historyAnd a whole lot more!

    From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. 
     
     
     
    Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either "anti-abortion" or "pro-choice," the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. 
     
     
     
    In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. 
     
     
     
    At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.
