Summary

"Kindness In Action" presents a groundbreaking exploration of how simple acts of kindness can fundamentally transform both individual well-being and societal health through measurable changes in brain chemistry and psychological functioning. Drawing from cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, the book reveals remarkable findings, including how regular acts of kindness can reduce cortisol levels by 23% while boosting serotonin production, directly impacting emotional stability and mental health.

 
The book's three-part structure takes readers on a comprehensive journey, beginning with the neurobiological foundations of kindness and its effects on brain chemistry. Through extensive research involving over 10,000 participants across multiple cultures, the text illuminates how practiced kindness strengthens neural pathways associated with emotional intelligence and social connection. The scientific findings are complemented by real-world case studies and practical applications, making complex concepts accessible to general readers.

 
What sets this work apart is its unique blend of rigorous research and actionable insights, providing readers with both the theoretical understanding and practical tools needed to implement kindness-based practices in their daily lives. The book concludes with evidence-based techniques and structured exercises for developing empathy and compassion, while offering a systematic framework for tracking personal progress. This approach makes it particularly valuable for individuals interested in personal development, mental health professionals, and organizational leaders seeking to create positive change through practical, scientifically-validated methods.

    Note: This audiobook is included (for free) inside its respective print and e-book versions. 
    Every person experiences emotions; it’s one of the most natural aspects of everyone’s life. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of dealing with these intense feelings effectively. And, when you’ve been raised by emotionally immature parents who don’t allow you to be an individual who can express their feelings, you will be set up for failed (and sometimes even abusive) relationships in the future. 
    As children, our number one role models are our parents; we give them unconditional trust to guide us through the world. But when the trust is broken, and their behavior and temperament toward us are less than ideal, we can develop coping mechanisms in a bid to shield ourselves from the hurt. If your parent starved you emotionally, then you have a pretty clear picture of what this means – but it doesn't have to remain this way. 
    In her original, clinical psychologist Dr. Lindsay Gibson discusses this phenomenon, the effect that the poor emotional development of parents can have on their children’s lives, and practical steps you can take to break free from this cycle. 
    This workbook offers an immersive experience that combines summaries, key takeaways, insights, exercises, prompts, thought-provoking questions, and guided reflections to bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your life. You will embark on thorough shadow work guided by the wisdom of Lindsay C. Gibson, but there's only one rule – don't be afraid to dig deep and feel. Facing the resurfacing emotions of your past may be uncomfortable, to say the least, but it is an essential part of the process.

    Writing and sharing fiction allows adolescents to glimpse other lives 
     
     
     
    The current curricular emphasis on analytical writing can make it feel risky to teach creative writing in ELA classrooms. But the opportunity to write fiction in school opens many doors for young people: doors the author argues are critical to the development of our students, our education system, and even our democracy. 
     
     
     
    This book will delight English teachers weary of focusing relentlessly on argument and information writing. Veteran teacher Ariel Sacks vividly describes the many academic, social–emotional, and community-building advantages of teaching imaginative writing in the classroom, not least of which is the impact it has on equity for marginalized students. Her book is a teacher-to-teacher text that folds in detailed, practical guidance about how to design lessons and meet standards, while presenting a powerful central argument: that the writing of fiction should be treated not as a luxury for some, but as a center of the English curriculum for all students.

    Are you at a threshold where what used to feel good or what used to make sense doesn’t anymore?Do you desire a deeper, more embodied relationship with your sexuality?Kimberly Ann Johnson has rallied support for women transitioning to motherhood in The Fourth Trimester. Now she brings eroticism to the center of our power for every life stage. “Every woman I’ve worked with has told me that they know their sexuality holds treasures for them, keys to their soul path, but they just can’t seem to find those keys to reliably unlock the treasure chest,” writes Kimberly Ann Johnson, sexological bodyworker and Somatic Experiencing practitioner. Erotic Seasons helps women find the keys to that chest. Women experience so many crossroads at the different stages in our lives―these might include beginning a relationship, navigating fertility, becoming a mother or not, entering in perimenopause or menopause, leaving a marriage or opening a marriage. At these thresholds, our desires can become mysterious. Of course they do when our bodies and pleasure pathways change. Most of us don’t have the language or experience to communicate about these changes, so we are left feeling confused, shut down, or broken. But we can have courage together to learn and voice our true desires. Erotic Seasons guides women toward a revolutionary reckoning with sexuality. Grounded in understanding the female body in our monthly, seasonal, and lifetime rhythms, the book guides readers to locate themselves in their own anatomy and nervous system patterns. Kimberly reframes the archetypes of the female lifespan―maiden, mother, virgin, crone―for women today and shares powerful stories of women across generations, helping readers orient to the realities and mysteries of each life stage. With this knowledge, women can experience eroticism that lights up their whole life and unlocks possibilities for us all.“Kimberly Ann Johnson writes like a wise woman sitting across from you at the fire—honest, grounded, and full of hard-won, studied and trustable wisdom.”—Alexandra Roxo, author of F*ck Like a Goddess and Dare to Feel
