One of the most eminent scholars and writers on men and masculinity and the author of the critically acclaimed Manhood in America turns his attention to the culture of guys, aged 16 to 26: their attitudes, their relationships, their rules, and their rituals."Kimmel is our seasoned guide into a world that, unless we are guys, we barely know exists. As he walks with us through dark territories, he points out the significant and reflects on its meaning."--Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving OpheliaThe passage from adolescence to adulthood was once clear. Today, growing up has become more complex and confusing, as young men drift casually through college and beyond--hanging out, partying, playing with tech toys, watching sports. But beneath the appearance of a simple extended boyhood, a more dangerous social world has developed, far away from the traditional signposts and cultural signals that once helped boys navigate their way to manhood--a territory Michael Kimmel has identified as "Guyland."In mapping the troubling social world where men are now made, Kimmel offers a view into the minds and times of America's sons, brothers, and boyfriends, and he works toward redefining what it means to be a man today--and tomorrow. Only by understanding this world and this life stage can we enable young men to chart their own paths, stay true to themselves, and emerge safely from Guyland as responsible and fully formed male adults.

After discovering that Shelley's youngest child had verbal communication delays and later being diagnosed as having Autistic Spectrum Conditions, she chose to look at life through the eyes of the child. Shelley was guided to look deeper into understanding him on a soul level and was intuitively learning new strategies to assist with his unpredictable emotions. This naturally created the space to support his siblings in the same way by exploring deeper beneath the surface and discovering that they both found it incredibly difficult to learn in todays' mainstream school environments. Shelley embraces the spiritual and human aspects of life as a parent, as a fresh perspective was needed for her family. She learned of the impact early trauma had on her style of parenting and so it became her mission to reach other parents walking the same path.In this book, Shelley talks about her mental health journey and how a holistic approach to recovery and energy healing helped her make sense of childhood trauma and experienced birth trauma. She explains how parenting opened her eyes to a broken education system and how a 'one size fits all' approach within mainstream school doesn't address the needs of every individual. Each child should be entitled to embrace a unique learning experience.

As we grow up, our moms are the lenses through which we see our lives-and even as adults, they anchor us and give us comfort. While our moms always offer us wisdom, when they get in their 90s, things get a little crazy-and sometimes downright hilarious.At least, that's been true for Bonnie Lorber Habyan's 90-year-old mother Bess.In The World According to Bess, Habyan has created a funny memoir that weaves her mother's wit, wisdom and warm-hearted sentiment into a tapestry of hilarity that has been fittingly described as a cross between Chicken Soup for the Soul and Sh*t My Dad Says.By capturing Bess's many anecdotes and aphorisms, Habyan reflects warmly on a lifetime of wisdom from a one-of-a-kind woman and all the laugh-out-loud memories they've shared. The result is a quick and quirky roadmap to living an authentic life and becoming your "Bess-t" self.Spanning topics of life, love and keeping up appearances, The World According to Bess is a feel-good book for women offering zany humor and uplifting guidance on how to keep life simple and meaningful-even if the world around us seems to be losing its mind.

When I decided to try my hand at writing I knew the topic I wanted to write about something that would help young people to see that life doesn't have to be filled with guilt and pain if we just follow God's plan for humanity before we make all the wrong choices.

Our world has an identity crisis.And often, our churches do as well.Every day, people struggle to find acceptance and significance in an increasingly impersonal and fractured society. But despite their best efforts, too many are left empty and hopeless.A pastor for many years, Jack Shumate understands how often we find our significance through what we do, what we build, how we minister; or even how influential we have become, instead of understanding our importance to our heavenly Father and how influential we can be simply by resting in who we are as his sons and daughters.In Heaven's Highest Priority he recounts his journey to discovering identity, significance, and healthy influence, writing with vulnerability and raw honesty. He found that healing comes when we embrace what is most important to our Father in heaven: a loving relationship with him and with others.Our heavenly Father is madly in love with this orphaned world, and he longs to see people in safe and loving families that challenge, empower, and release them to become more than they ever dreamed."Pastor Jack does an amazing job of weaving his life experience and the Scriptures together to teach us about God's healing power, giving us a new perspective on the Father's heart and what biblical ministry should look like in the post-COVID era of the church." Michael Esposito Director of Regional Reclaim Ministries International

Having a baby at any age can be challenging, but having a baby after age thirty-five may bring another set of concerns. Some people think that if you are thirty-five and over, parenting may be more of a wish than a reality. The advice Dr. Jeanine Hogg gives in this book, Secrets of an Old School Mama, encourages women in that age group that parenting is possible whether birthing a baby from your own womb or receiving the gift of a child through adoption.In Secrets of an Old-School Mama, you will find practical advice about the many facets of raising a child at or above what medical practitioners call "advanced maternal age." You will find guidance from a long-practicing pediatrician that will help you challenge the "norms" of the "traditional family" to establish your own style of parenting for rearing a healthy child into adulthood with confidence and joy.

Psychologist Madeline Levine brings together cutting-edge research and thirty years of clinical experience to explode once and for all the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame.Parents, educators, and the media wring their hands about the escalating rates of emotional problems and lack of real engagement with learning found so frequently among America’s children and teens. Yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends. Until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, and emotionally impaired children who believe they are only as good as their last performance.Confronting the real issues behind why we push some of our kids to the breaking point while dismissing the talents and interests of many others, Levine shows us how to shift our focus from the excesses of hyperparenting and the unhealthy reliance on our children for status and meaning to a parenting style that concentrates on both enabling academic success and developing a sense of purpose, well-being, and connection in our children’s lives.

¿"It's a passionate rush of language, hope in a hard time, truth in the middle of lies. This poetry sparks and burns with the hidden language and stories of women" -Minnie Bruce PrattJudith Arcana, a reproductive rights activist formerly involved in Chicago's pre-Roe v. Wade underground abortion service, imbues her poetry, fiction and essays with the same ferocity, humor and passion that informs her activism. As Grace Paley wrote, "What I love about this important book is how the work Judith began in Chicago years ago has deepened in poetry and prose with love for the lives of women."In light of the leaked 2022 decision regarding Roe, it's more important than ever that we examine and promote reproductive rights and justice. Judith has been a tireless fighter on this front for decades. Hello. This is Jane. was published on the 48th anniversary of her 1972 arrest as one of the "Abortion 7," which directly inspired the pieces in the collection. Hard to believe that 50 years later, we're now in danger of losing the progress she and so many others fought so hard for. Previously Judith tackled the topics in poetry, with What if your mother, first released in 2005. Note that this 2nd edition of the book includes an updated preface."The title poem ... should be made into a poster and pinned up on the wall in every clinic in the United States." -Peter Bours, MD, longtime abortion provider

Leistungsdruck macht viele Kinder unglücklich und krank. Was brauchen Kinder wirklich, um sich glücklich entfalten zu können? Abgesehen von erfüllten Grundbedürfnissen, gar nicht so viel, aber davon manchmal mehr. Vor allem brauchen sie Eltern, die...für ihr Wohlbefinden sorgen, sie bedingungslos lieben, ihnen Geborgenheit, Sicherheit und Halt geben.... ab und zu selbst mutig in den Spiegel blicken, ihren Lebensstil und eigene Erwartungshaltungen überdenken.... die Funken der Begeisterung und Potenziale ihrer Kinder mit entfachen und sie dabei vor wachstumshemmendem Druck oder ungesunden Grenzüberschreitungen schützen.... Zuversicht vermitteln und ihnen vorleben, wie sie Herausforderungen, Niederlagen und Krisen meistern können.Der Leistungsdruck unserer modernen Gesellschaft setzt vielen Kindern und Jugendlichen zu. Speziell der Leistungsdruck in der Schule macht den Jüngsten oft zu schaffen. Für Eltern und alle, die Kinder auf ihrem Lebensweg begleiten, ist es eine Herausforderung, eine gute Balance zwischen entwicklungsförderlicher Anregung, Unterstützung und entspannten Zutrauens zu finden. Die Autorin und Psychologin Heike Torggler begleitet in ihrer Praxis seit vielen Jahren Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene, die an den negativen gesundheitlichen Folgen von übermäßigem Stress und Druck leiden. In diesem Buch gibt sie uns einen kleinen Einblick in ihre Arbeit und persönlichen Erfahrungen. Als zweifache Mutter spricht sie offen, heiter aber auch kritisch aus, was viele Eltern denken und erleben. Sie zeigt im Buch Wege auf, wie wir uns selbst und unsere Jüngsten vor zu viel Leistungsdruck schützen und mental stärken können, damit sie die unvermeidbaren Hürden und Krisen im Leben leichter meistern.
