Good Morning, Monster
As seen on Good Morning America's SEPTEMBER 2020 READING LIST and FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2020!"We need to read stories about folks who have been through hell and kept going... Fascinating." --Glennon Doyle, A Favorite Book of 2020 on Good Morning America "Gildiner is nothing short of masterful--as both a therapist and writer. In these pages, she has gorgeously captured both the privilege of being given access to the inner chambers of people's lives, and the meaning that comes from watching them grow into the selves they were meant to be." --Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner's presents four of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: a successful, first generation Chinese immigrant musician suffering sexual dysfunction and a glamorous workaholic whose narcissistic, negligent mother greeted her each morning of her childhood with "Good morning, Monster." Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years. They seek Gildiner's help to overcome an immediate challenge in their lives, but discover that the source of their suffering has been long buried. As in such recent classics as The Glass Castle and Educated, each patient embodies self-reflection, stoicism, perseverance, and forgiveness as they work unflinchingly to face the truth. Gildiner's account of her journeys with them is moving, insightful, and sometimes very funny. Good Morning Monster offers an almost novelistic, behind-the-scenes look into the therapist's office, illustrating how the process can heal even the most unimaginable wounds.

Sage Warrior
Profound inner wisdom for courageous action--from the author of See No Stranger and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, a "prophetic voice of our generation" (America Ferrera) How do we find the wisdom to envision a new world and the courage to fight for it? How do we survive seemingly apocalyptic times? In a world on fire, how do we find love and joy? We are not the first to ask these questions--in fact, seeking answers to them forged one of the world's great wisdom traditions. In a time riven by caste, conquest, and cruelty, Sikhs blazed the path of the sant sipahi, the sage warrior. The sage radiates love and Oneness; the warrior activates that ethical power to fight for humanity. These energies empowered the first Sikhs to survive near-annihilation in South Asia nearly half a millennium ago. The sage warrior is the essential archetype for our time of turmoil--one we can all embody to cultivate our souls and transform the world. Valarie Kaur combines the epic, immersive story of her Sikh ancestors--centering the stories of the women who worked to map the path of the sage warrior--with the chronicle of a personal journey: her pilgrimage with her young children to the Panjab, India, where the stories unfolded, an occasionally comic adventure woven with sublime moments of connection and insight. Each chapter offers a lesson that emerges from the stories--from practicing pleasure to metabolizing grief to choosing courage. Sage Warrior shimmers with wisdom: Every story is accompanied by original artwork, music, and meditations, illuminating new ways of seeing and being. This journey is for anyone--from any faith tradition or spiritual practice or none at all--who hungers for a better world and is ready to discover the depth of their own power.

The Physiology Of Marriage
The physiology of marriage Second Part offers a reflective examination of how marriage functions as a social structure shaped by expectations, desires, and unspoken tensions. The work approaches the subject through a blend of observation and critique, suggesting that the experiences of affection, disappointment, loyalty, and longing all contribute to the intricate reality of married life. Its opening sections introduce a contemplative view of how individuals enter marriage with idealized hopes, only to confront the contrasts between aspiration and daily reality. The text considers how emotional needs can clash with social rules, creating situations in which happiness and dissatisfaction coexist. It also reflects on how relationships evolve under pressure from external judgments and internal uncertainties, presenting marriage as an evolving negotiation rather than a fixed state. Through its mixture of satire and philosophical inquiry, the book encourages readers to reconsider familiar assumptions and recognize the complexity of human bonds, setting the stage for further exploration in the remaining parts of the work.
The Physiology Of Marriage Third Part
The physiology of marriage Third part examines the intricate tensions that arise when personal desires, social pressures, and emotional impulses intersect within married life. The work begins with assertive reflections that frame marriage as a shifting landscape shaped by contrasting motives and subtle struggles for influence. These early ideas introduce a blend of wit and critical insight, suggesting that the institution often becomes a stage where affection, insecurity, pride, and strategy quietly interact. The narrative moves beyond simple observations to consider how individuals respond to changing emotions, how perception shapes behavior, and how unspoken expectations can shape the rhythm of daily life. Through a mixture of philosophical reflection and pointed commentary, the text proposes that the heart of marital conflict frequently lies in unaligned expectations and the constant balancing of independence and interdependence. Gradually, the discussion broadens into a larger inquiry about loyalty, self-awareness, and the negotiation of power, using humor and layered insights to reveal the psychological patterns that influence long-term relationships.

Celtic Christmas
A quiet, grounded journey into Ireland's winter soul.Celtic Christmas: Ireland's Sacred Winter Traditions explores how people in Ireland once lived through the darkest weeks of the year - with patience, ritual, hospitality, and faith shaped by land, weather, and light.Drawing on early Irish law texts, poetry, saints' lives, folklore, and monastic practice, this book traces the meaning of winter from Advent through the Twelve Days and into the returning light of early spring. It moves from bare fields and frozen roads to the warmth of the hearth; from candlelit windows and open doors to Brigid's enduring flame; from deep midnight stillness to winter pilgrimage, solitude, and blessing.Rather than offering modern reinventions or romantic fantasy, this book stays close to historical reality: how winter was actually experienced in rural and early Christian Ireland, and how people learned to live well within its limits. Saints such as Brigid and Kevin of Glendalough appear not as distant icons, but as figures shaped by cold, scarcity, generosity, and attentiveness to place.This is not a book of quick traditions or decorative folklore. It is a slow, reflective work for readers who want depth - those drawn to Celtic spirituality, Irish history, seasonal living, and a quieter, more faithful way of marking Christmas.Inside you will find: The meaning of winter in early Irish life and lawThe hearth as the centre of hospitality, prayer, and survivalBrigid's winter flame and traditions of generosityThe Twelve Days as a lived season, not a single feastMidnight stillness, vigil, and winter prayerKevin of Glendalough and the discipline of solitudePilgrimage, blessing, and the long road in winterThe return of light as something patiently awaitedWritten in a clear, measured voice and grounded in authentic sources, Celtic Christmas invites the reader to slow down, attend to the season as it is, and rediscover a Christmas shaped by restraint, reverence, and quiet joy.Ideal for readers of Celtic spirituality, Irish history, seasonal theology, and contemplative Christian tradition.

Vulnerability Protected
Vulnerability can be either precious or detestable, and we feel deeply divided as to which side we embrace, perhaps even from one moment to the next. Vulnerability is risky and can be raw, messy, and scary. But when it is protected, experiencing it becomes safer.Often, vulnerability, weakness, or even empathy, are demeaned. Many worship those who parade as fearless, those who promise protection only if we follow these leaders completely and unquestioningly.Vulnerability is essential for empathy. And empathy is the antidote to the cold detachment that is so toxic. Vulnerability can lead to owning all the parts inside us, which allows us to recognize the humanity in people we have been poised to judge and even hate.Vulnerability Protected is an exploration of the personal, relational, and political aspects of vulnerability, one of the most crucial resources in our world. We cannot possibly afford its disappearance.

In an instant, an ordinary life was split into before and after.The Day the Sky Fell is a powerful and deeply personal memoir about living through the unimaginable. It traces the long shadow cast by sudden, violent loss and the courage required to keep moving forward when your world fractures without warning.In the days and weeks that follow the tragedy, private grief collides with global focus and Matthew captures the surreal experience of waiting for answers while the world debates politics and responsibility. Through rare access to the international investigation, from forensic hangars to the painstaking reconstruction of the aircraft, Matthew reveals the extraordinary work of investigators and the relentless search for truth.At its heart, this is a story about more than loss. It is about memory, justice and the human need for accountability. It explores how grief evolves over time, how absence reshapes identity and how those left behind continue to carry the lives and legacies of those they love.Honest, compassionate and quietly powerful, The Day the Sky Fell is a testament to endurance, to love that outlasts death and to the courage it takes to keep living when the unimaginable becomes your reality.

Frames of Mind
In this groundbreaking classic, a leading psychologist argues that there are many human intelligences. "Brilliant." --New York Review of Books When we call someone "intelligent," we are often referring to traits like their high SAT score, their performance on an IQ test, or their ability to perform in today's schools--which prioritize linguistic and mathematical abilities. Traits like these underlie most popular and psychological understanding of intelligence--but they tell a very incomplete story. In this revolutionary classic, now updated with a new introduction, psychologist and educator Howard Gardner offers a dramatically different account: that by limiting our understanding of intelligence to "school smarts," we miss the impressive range of talents and aptitudes that characterize the human species. Gardner instead posits the revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences, which encompasses musical ability to physical dexterity to deep knowledge of other persons--and of oneself--each of which merits the label "intelligence." In a penetrating update, Gardner's Frames of Mind celebrates all forms of intellect--the varieties found in various animal species, plants, and ever-more powerful instruments of artificial intelligence.
