Did That Just Happen?!
Author: Stephanie Pinder-Amaker
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807035882
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
An accessible guide showing all people how to create and sustain diversity and inclusivity in the workplace—no matter your identity, industry, or level of experience Offering real-life accounts that illustrate common workplace occurrences around inclusivity and answers to questions like “How do I identify and handle diversity landmines at work?” and “What can I do when I’ve made a mistake?” this handbook breaks down ways that organizations (and all people) can improve their cultural awareness and become more equitable in their work and personal relationships. We know that diverse teams are stronger, smarter, and more profitable, and many companies are attempting to hire more diverse teams, but most struggle to create a real culture of inclusivity in which people from all backgrounds feel comfortable. As clinical psychologists, as well as individuals with marginalized identities, Dr. Stephanie Pinder-Amaker and Dr. Lauren Wadsworth show the emotional and physical impact of marginalization and how that leads to a decrease in employee engagement and, often, increased job turnover. “Did That Just Happen?!” will be invaluable for employees who come from underrepresented communities and identities (identities discussed include race, age, disability, sexual orientation, citizenship status, and gender expression). But the book is essential for leaders of companies, supervisors, HR departments, and for anyone who wants to understand and support diversity/equity/inclusion practices. The book will also make readers feel more confident in their navigating of friendships/interactions with people who hold different identities.

Answers for the Honest Skeptic
Author: Ted Even
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098037391
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
It is true that mankind himself has probably always been characterized with the main desire to determine just what "spiritual truth" really is. For centuries and centuries, highly educated philosophers and religious men alike have always stood toe-to-toe disagreeing on "spiritual truth." Since they cannot all be right, this would strongly indicate that education, religious persuasion, or even intelligence has little to do with our discovery of the "real spiritual truth." For if these things were truly critical, then obviously, the "spiritual/intellectual giants" of history would have agreed on spiritual truth long ago.In this work, author Ted Even endeavors to show that the disagreeing intellectuals/skeptics of the past only serve to reinforce Christ's radical statement about our need to just "become like little children" in order to discover the spiritual truth and that literally everyone has the same opportunity to enter the kingdom of heaven on that basis. However, while super-intelligence or big degrees may not be necessary, the discovery of spiritual truth does require just one very reasonable quality of heart, which little children have always possessed. Find out just what this basic quality of heart is as you continue your search for spiritual truth within this simple to understand work which only leaves the real spiritual truth left standing.

WTF Just Happened?!
Author: Elizabeth Entin
Publisher: WTPH Just Happened LLC
ISBN:
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
What if everything you thought you knew about how the world worked was challenged? (Again) In this sequel to WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey skeptic explores grief, healing, and evidence of an afterlife, Elizabeth “Liz” Entin continues to look for scientific proof of an afterlife. Something she had always considered about as realistic as the Tooth Fairy when she first began this “shot in the dark” search after the loss of her dad. Picking up where the first book left off, this second book in the series shows Liz once again using her analytical mind to research psychic mediums and the scientists who study them. No longer new to this strange world, she starts conducting her own “WTF can happen?!” experiments with mediums, studying under a former secret psychic spy from the United States government’s Defense Intelligence Agency and training with experts in paranormal activity. She also tries to talk to dead people (including her dad), meet up with mediums in different dimensions, move objects with her mind, and apply CIA tactics to “spy” on faraway spots. She is still stunned when, during some of these attempts, the inexplicable continues to happen. Along her journey, she deepens previously unimaginable relationships with mentors who have studied this afterlife phenomena for almost 20 years—and keeps getting more and more evidence that everything she once thought about how the world (and the world beyond it) worked was way more extraordinary than she, a hard-core “sciencey-skeptic,” had ever imagined. And, in a subplot that seems to fall right in line with the weird trajectory of her life and tackled with the same humorous approach she takes to addressing life’s darker moments, Liz unexpectedly gets called as a secondary witness in the Harvey Weinstein case, which despite its serious tones, is filled with the most hilarious twists, including “visits” from Liz’s late chihuahua, Peanut. Through it all, Liz continues to honestly address the reality of living with grief, call out frauds among the medium community, embrace her full awkwardness as she meets researchers she always admired, and share her continued shock that overall very normal people seem to be doing the impossible. Liz will not only have you laughing but will also leave even the biggest skeptic wondering (and hoping)... could this really be true? Could we actually survive death?

The Fourth Turning
Author: William Strauss
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0767900464
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Nut Country
Author: Edward H. Miller
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022620538X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
If there was a city most likely to host the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Dallas was it. Kennedy himself recognized Dallas's special and extreme nature, saying to Jackie in Fort Worth on the morning of November 22, "We're heading into nut country today." Edward H. Miller makes the persuasive case in this lucid and insightful book that the ultraconservative faction of today's Republican Party is a product specifically of the political climate of Dallas in the 1950s and early 1960s, which was marked by apocalyptic language, conspiracy theories, and absolutist thought and rhetoric. Miller shows not only that the influential ultraconservative figures in Dallas fomented religious and racial extremism but that the arc of politics bent ever rightward, as otherwise moderate local Republicans were pressured to move away from the center. This faction promoted the creation of the national Republican Party's "Southern Strategy," which reversed the party's historical position on civil rights. This strategy, often credited to Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater in the wake of the crises of the 1960s, has its origins instead in the racial and religious beliefs of extremists in this volatile time and place. Dallas is the root of it all.
