  Listen to psychotherapist Joe Nucci as he dispels common mental health myths and replaces them with no-nonsense truths and accessible guidance for real healing. 
  The popularization of mental health content on social media has led to an epidemic of mental health misinformation. In Psychobabble, licensed psychotherapist Joe Nucci argues that too many of us are self-diagnosing, improperly deploying therapy-speak, and even coaching others to engage in harmful activities under the guise of “self-care.” 
  Nucci dismantles 40 popular misconceptions, such as: 
  Everyone needs to go to therapy.Your feelings are credible.People gaslight you when they disagree.Mindfulness is good for everyone.Everyone has trauma.The reason you can’t focus is ADHD. 
  This dangerous misinformation encourages well-meaning individuals to make consequential life decisions based on false beliefs, half-truths, and the advice of unlicensed armchair experts. It is time for a professional to call this out. Nucci replaces these myths with liberating truths that can help readers avoid misinformation, navigate important philosophical debates, and better maneuver their own mental health journeys. He shares client examples and evidence-based psychological theory, and draws from reputable studies and research. 
  TikTok influencers and “life coaches” create viral videos telling people to cut off their problematic parents, and are cheered on by millions of followers. Recent divorcees proudly declare on Instagram that they are finally healing from their “narcissistic” ex-partner, even though you get the sense they can’t actually define that word. Teenage “mental health advocates” lament the struggles of living with autism, but then subtly add that their condition is “self-diagnosed.” It is time for a professional to call out the misinformation and absurdity. 
  Psychobabble is a must-listen audiobook for anyone who values mental health and cares about others.

  Digital Pilgrims - Towards a...

  The present has the texture of the future. Hyper-digitalization has made all questions outdated, especially: what are we going to do? For decades, we have been inhabiting and moving within the Digital Environment. Today, the unavoidable question is: what and who are we going to be? 
  Digital Pilgrims proposes novel and urgent debates for a society that has been digitalizing itself for over fifty years. Our coexistence with mature artificial intelligences demands definitions. We are cyborgs moving in environments that exceed time and space, humans in search of meaning for this quantum reality.  
  It is not difficult to speculate about possible futures; the real challenge is to find a path forward in the face of the singularity that is starting to reveal itself, and in the face of the social impact we are just beginning to see. In the middle of the explosion, this book outlines the debates we cannot put off any longer. There are no answers here but rather a guide for us to finally discuss how to orient ourselves on this dizzying voyage.

  Unsettled - What Climate Science...

  In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
   
  “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
  “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
  “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
   
  You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
   
  With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
   
  When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
   
  Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
  • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
  • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
  • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
   
  Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
