  The Myth of Left and Right - How...

  A groundbreaking argument that the political spectrum today is inadequate to twenty-first-century America and a major source of the confusion and hostility that characterize contemporary political discourse. 
   
   
   
  As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called "left" and "right," people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Far from being an eternal dividing line of American politics, the political spectrum came to the United States in the 1920s and, since then, left and right have evolved in so many unpredictable and even contradictory ways that there is currently nothing other than tribal loyalty holding together the many disparate positions that fly under the banners of "liberal" and "conservative." Cutting against the grain of most scholarship on polarization in America, this book shows why the idea that the political spectrum measures deeply held worldviews is the central political myth of our time and a major cause of the confusion and vitriol that characterize public discourse.

  Yoga for Creative Minds -...

  Yoga and creativity are inherently intertwined, both relying on the flow of energy within the body and mind. Creativity, in its purest form, is the ability to generate new ideas, to solve problems in innovative ways, and to express oneself authentically. Yet, many people struggle with accessing this creative potential, often encountering mental blocks or feelings of uncertainty. Yoga offers a path to unlock this potential, creating the ideal environment for the mind and body to collaborate in creative expression. 
  At its core, yoga is about cultivating mindfulness and presence. When we practice yoga, we learn to become deeply aware of our breath, our body, and our mind. This heightened awareness allows us to clear the clutter from our thoughts, creating space for creativity to flourish. Yoga encourages us to be present in the moment, removing distractions that may otherwise stifle creative thinking. As we move through the poses, we tap into a state of flow, where the body and mind work in perfect harmony. This state of flow is closely linked to the creative process, as it fosters a sense of ease, focus, and openness to new ideas. 
  The connection between yoga and creativity is also rooted in the principle of balance. In yoga, we seek to find equilibrium within ourselves, whether through balancing poses or through the integration of breath and movement. Similarly, creativity thrives when we find balance between structure and freedom, discipline and spontaneity. Just as a yoga practice requires both strength and flexibility, creative work demands both the ability to stay grounded and the freedom to explore new possibilities. The balance cultivated on the mat can be translated into the creative process, allowing individuals to stay focused while remaining open to new insights and ideas.

  The Enneagram for Black...

  The Enneagram is an ancient system of human development that shows us the limiting stories that keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns, and invites us into more expansive stories. For too long, conversations about the Enneagram and its personality types have been centered on and by whiteness. In The Enneagram for Black Liberation, certified Enneagram teacher and trained psychotherapist Chichi Agorom reclaims the Enneagram as a powerful tool for Black women to rediscover our wholeness and worth that existed long before systems of supremacy told us we weren't enough. 
   
   
   
  For Black women, our Enneagram personality types reflect more than just our way of being in the world; they are shaped by armor that we use to protect ourselves from pain, suffering, and shame. Breaking down each Enneagram type as a form of armor, this book offers practices to help Black women begin to build a sense of self separate from our mechanisms of self-protection, while working to dismantle the systems that require us to stay constantly armored up. Chichi Agorom takes listeners through each of the nine Enneagram types, along with stories of Black women who identify with them. In the process, Agorom seeks to inspire us to expand beyond our type patterns. 
   
   
   
  Agorom invites each of us to claim the Enneagram as our tool in the continued fight for liberation.
