  Actionable Ethics is part of a larger regimen of ethics training, for the company (but, more broadly-speaking, for life). What makes it different is the fact that it shares techniques gleaned from neuroscience on how to make moral behavior habitual. As Aristotle said, “Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Almost every other ethics book or course available addresses itself to the front of the brain (where executive function takes place). Actionable Ethics, by contrast, addresses itself to the back of the brain, where habit-formation occurs, to create positive behaviors, or, as Cicero put it thousands of years ago, a “second nature”.

  Between Two Rivers - Ancient...

  Moudhy Al-Rashid

  Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time. 
   
   
   
  What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth. 
   
   
   
  In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, countless receipts for beer, and the messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with "the juggle" in 1900 BCE. 
   
   
   
  Millennia ago, Mesopotamians saw the world's first cities, the first writing system, early seeds of agriculture, and groundbreaking developments in medicine and astronomy. With breathtaking intimacy and grace, Al-Rashid brings their lives―with all their anxieties, aspirations, and intimacies―vividly close to our own.

  Knowing what the Bible says about fear doesn’t always help us feel less anxious. Prayer does not always help either. This book explores the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. But here’s help in discerning which practices are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects. These practices can deepen our relationship with God and help reduce anxiety at the same time. Anxiety Transformed: Prayer that Brings Enduring Change brings together insights from spiritual formation, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, as well as the author's personal journey with God through periods of anxiety. These concepts are integrated into a model of life-changing spiritual and psychological transformation.
