Raised by scientifically minded parents, Margaret Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forests of northern Quebec, where her entomologist father and independent, resourceful mother created an unfettered and nomadic childhood, sometimes isolated but also thrilling and beautiful. From this unconventional start, Margaret unfolds the story of her life, linking key moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel school year that would inspire Cat&rsquo;s Eye to the unease of 1980s Berlin, where she began The Handmaid&rsquo;s Tale . In pages alive with the natural world, reading and books, major political turning points, and her lifelong love for the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood stars, and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel. As she explores her past, Margaret reveals more and more about her writing, the connections between real life and art&mdash;and the workings of one of our very greatest imaginations.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1113430</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1113430</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atwood, Margaret]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1113430051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Sorts</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780771096440/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Let Them Theory]]></title><description><![CDATA[#1  New York Times  Bestseller #1  Sunday Times  Bestseller #1 Amazon Bestseller #1 Audible Bestseller   A Life-Changing Tool Millions of People Can&rsquo;t Stop Talking About   What if the key to happiness, success, and love was as simple as two words?

After years of struggle to reach this point, they finally felt their future held promise. But on April 23, 2006, their bodies were discovered in their basement, covered in savage stab wounds. Upstairs, Jacob lay dead on his bed, his toys spattered with blood.  Investigators worried for JR&rsquo;s safety, but unknown to them, the pretty honour roll student had been developing a disturbing alter ego online. Runaway Devil professed a fondness for a darker world of death metal music, the goth subculture, and a love for Jeremy Steinke, a twenty-three-year-old high-school dropout who lived in a rundown trailer park. Soon, shocking evidence in JR&rsquo;s school locker&mdash;printed here for the first time&mdash;led police to believe the girl was a suspect in her family&rsquo;s murders.  The case horrified parents everywhere. Journalists Robert Remington and Sherri Zickefoose have been covering it from the beginning, and in  Runaway Devil , they reveal what really happened: the unlikely young love, the teenage rebellion, a troubling world of adolescent drifters, and a small community torn apart by an unthinkable crime.  A modern cautionary tale,  Runaway Devil  is also a chilling portrait of an approval-seeking man smitten with a manipulative young girl&mdash;who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1075038</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1075038</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Remington, Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1075038051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How Forbidden Love Drove A 12-year-old to Murder Her Family</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781551992952/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody Wants your Sh*t]]></title><description><![CDATA[Free yourself and your family from the f*cking clutter before you croak!

Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. His big break came with his interview of Andrew Carnegie in 1908. Intrigued by Carnegie's assertion that the path to success could be broken down into a simple yet comprehensive formula, Hill accepted Carnegie's challenge to study and interview more than five hundred extremely successful individuals to determine to what they owed their vast achievements. This masterwork identifies thirteen principles that every person should adopt if they are serious about achieving success&#8212;all are empirically based in the aforementioned decades of research. Hill has synthesized what wealthy and/or exceptionally successful individuals have in common.

Dr. Neufeld has dubbed this phenomenon peer orientation, which refers to the tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction: for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behaviour. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; its effects are painfully evident in the context of teenage gangs and criminal activity, in tragedies such as in Littleton, Colorado; Tabor, Alberta and Victoria, B.C. It is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested until  Hold On to Your Kids . Once understood, it becomes self-evident — as do the solutions.     Hold On to Your Kids  will restore parenting to its natural intuitive basis and the parent-child relationship to its rightful preeminence. The concepts, principles and practical advice contained in  Hold On to Your Kids  will empower parents to satisfy their children&rsquo;s inborn need to find direction by turning towards a source of authority, contact and warmth.       Something has changed. One can sense it, one can feel it, just not find the words for it. Children are not quite the same as we remember being. They seem less likely to take their cues from adults, less inclined to please those in charge, less afraid of getting into trouble. Parenting, too, seems to have changed. Our parents seemed more confident, more certain of themselves and had more impact on us, for better or for worse. For many, parenting does not feel natural. Adults through the ages have complained about children being less respectful of their elders and more difficult to manage than preceding generations, but could it be that this time it is for real?  — from  Hold On to Your Kids]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1075767</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1075767</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Neufeld, Gordon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1075767051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307375490/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Anxious Generation]]></title><description><![CDATA[THE INSTANT #1  NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER &bull; A  Wall Street Journal  Top 10 Book of 2024 &bull; A  New York Times  and  Washington Post  Notable Book  &bull; One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2024 &bull; A  TIME  100 Must-Read Book of 2024  &bull; Named a Best Book of 2024 by the  Economist,  the  New York Post , and  Town &amp; Country  &bull; The Goodreads Choice Award Nonfiction Book of the Year    A must-read for all parents: the generation-defining investigation into the collapse of youth mental health in the era of smartphones, social media, and big tech&mdash;and a plan for a healthier, freer childhood. &ldquo;With tenacity and candor, Haidt lays out the consequences that have come with allowing kids to drift further into the virtual world . . . While also offering suggestions and solutions that could help protect a new generation of kids.&rdquo; &mdash;Shannon Carlin,  TIME , 100 Must-Read Books of 2024  After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. Why? In  The Anxious Generation , social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the &ldquo;play-based childhood&rdquo; began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the &ldquo;phone-based childhood&rdquo; in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this &ldquo;great rewiring of childhood&rdquo; has interfered with children&rsquo;s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the &ldquo;collective action problems&rdquo; that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood. Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes&mdash;communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children&mdash;and ourselves&mdash;from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1082818</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1082818</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haidt, Jonathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1082818051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593655047/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Atomic Habits]]></title><description><![CDATA[The #1  New York Times  bestseller.

"[A] bracing memoir and manifesto." &mdash; The New York Times "I can&rsquo;t think of a more important piece of writing to read right now. I found hope here, and help, to face what the world is now, all that it isn&rsquo;t anymore. Please read this. I promise you won&rsquo;t regret it." andamp;mdash;Tommy Orange, bestselling author of Wandering Stars and There There On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: andamp;ldquo;One day, when it&rsquo;s safe, when there&rsquo;s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it&rsquo;s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.&rdquo; This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times. As an immigrant who came to the West, El Akkad believed that it promised freedom. A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human&mdash;not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is a chronicle of that painful realization, a moral grappling with what it means, as a citizen of the U.S., as a father, to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage. This is El Akkad&rsquo;s nonfiction debut, his most raw and vulnerable work to date, a heartsick breakup letter with the West. It is a brilliant articulation of the same breakup we are watching all over the United States, in family rooms, on college campuses, on city streets; the consequences of this rupture are just beginning.

On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: andamp;ldquo;One day, when it&rsquo;s safe, when there&rsquo;s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it&rsquo;s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.&rdquo; This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times. As an immigrant who came to the West, El Akkad believed that it promised freedom. A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human&mdash;not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is a chronicle of that painful realization, a moral grappling with what it means, as a citizen of the U.S., as a father, to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage. This is El Akkad&rsquo;s nonfiction debut, his most raw and vulnerable work to date, a heartsick breakup letter with the West. It is a brilliant articulation of the same breakup we are watching all over the United States, in family rooms, on college campuses, on city streets; the consequences of this rupture are just beginning. This book is for all the people who want something better than what the West has served up. This is the book for our time.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1115716</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1115716</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[El Akkad, Omar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1115716051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780771021800/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother Mary Comes to Me]]></title><description><![CDATA[Finalist for the Kirkus Prize A raw and deeply moving memoir from the legendary author of The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness that traces her complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a fierce and formidable force who shaped Arundhati's life both as a woman and a writer. Mother Mary Comes to Me , Arundhati Roy's first work of memoir, is a soaring account, both intimate and inspirational, of how the author became the person and the writer she is, shaped by circumstance, but above all by her complex relationship to the extraordinary, singular mother she describes as "my shelter and my storm." "Heart-smashed" by her mother Mary's death in September 2022 yet puzzled and "more than a little ashamed" by the intensity of her response, Roy began to write, to make sense of her feelings about the mother she ran from at age eighteen, "not because I didn't love her, but in order to be able to continue to love her." And so begins this astonishing, sometimes disturbing, and surprisingly funny memoir of the author's journey from her childhood in Kerala, India, where her single mother founded a school, to the writing of her prizewinning novels and essays, through today. With the scale, sweep, and depth of her novels, The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness , and the passion, political clarity, and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace&#8212;a memoir like no other.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1116168</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1116168</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Roy, Arundhati]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1116168051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668095089/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be Ready When the Luck Happens]]></title><description><![CDATA[#1  NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER &bull; In her long-awaited memoir, Ina Garten&mdash;aka the Barefoot Contessa, author of thirteen bestselling cookbooks, beloved Food Network personality, Instagram sensation, and cultural icon&mdash;shares her personal story with readers hungry for a seat at her table.     A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR:  The New York Times Book Review ,  Time, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Town &amp; Country   Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. Ina&rsquo;s gift is to make everything look easy, yet all her accomplishments have been the result of hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail. In her unmistakable voice (no one tells a story like Ina), she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges, adventures (and misadventures) and unexpected career twists, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose. &#160; From a difficult childhood to meeting the love of her life, Jeffrey, and marrying him while still in college, from a boring bureaucratic job in Washington, D.C., to answering an ad for a specialty food store in the Hamptons, from the owner of one Barefoot Contessa shop to author of bestselling cookbooks and celebrated television host, Ina has blazed her own trail and, in the meantime, taught millions of people how to cook and entertain. Now, she invites them to come closer to experience her story in vivid detail and to share the important life lessons she learned along the way: do what you love because if you love it you&rsquo;ll be really good at it, swing for the fences, and always  Be Ready When the Luck Happens .]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1074053</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1074053</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Garten, Ina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1074053051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593799802/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Counting the Cost]]></title><description><![CDATA[For the first time, discover the unedited truth about the Duggars, the traditional Christian family that captivated the nation on TLC's hit show  19 Kids and Counting . Jill Duggar and her husband Derick are finally ready to share their story, revealing the secrets, manipulation, and intimidation behind the show in this "no-holds barred" ( People ) instant  New York Times  bestseller.   Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn't possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show  19 Kids and Counting , Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family's way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle's nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines. She didn't protest the strict model of patriarchy that her family followed, which declares that men are superior, that women are expected to be wives and mothers and are discouraged from attaining a higher education, and that parental authority over their children continues well into adulthood, even once they are married.    But as Jill got older, married Derick, and they embarked on their own lives, the red flags became too obvious to ignore.    For as long as they could, Jill and Derick tried to be obedient family members&#8212;but now they're raising a family of their own, and they're done with the secrets. Thanks to time, tears, therapy, and blessings from God, they have the strength to share their journey. Theirs is a "complicated, remarkably relatable story of faith and family loyalty" ( Salon ) and a moving example of how to find healing through honesty.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1079143</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1079143</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Duggar, Jill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1079143051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668024461/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Psychology of Money]]></title><description><![CDATA[Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know.

Money&#8212;investing, personal finance, and business decisions&#8212;is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.

The Courage to Be Disliked , already an enormous bestseller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be.  Is happiness something you choose for yourself?  The Courage to Be Disliked  presents a simple and straightforward answer. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of twentieth-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, this book follows an illuminating dialogue between a philosopher and a young man. Over the course of five conversations, the philosopher helps his student to understand how each of us is able to determine the direction of our own life, free from the shackles of past traumas and the expectations of others.   Rich in wisdom,  The Courage to Be Disliked  will guide you through the concepts of self-forgiveness, self-care, and mind decluttering. It is a deeply liberating way of thinking, allowing you to develop the courage to change and ignore the limitations that you might be placing on yourself. This plainspoken and profoundly moving book unlocks the power within you to find lasting happiness and be the person you truly want to be.

The journalist had grown up hearing stories about her father&rsquo;s near-starvation and ultimate survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but she never imagined she would be able to face this epic legacy head on.&nbsp; Then a chance encounter with a perfect bowl of borscht in Warsaw set Bonny on a journey to unearth her culinary lineage, and she began to dig for the roots of her food obsession, dish by dish. Tracing the defining moments of her life, from her colorful childhood in the restaurant business to the crumbling of her first marriage and the intensity of young motherhood, her decision to become a chef and that life-altering visit to Poland, the author recounts a tale of scarcity and plenty, stepping into the kitchen to connect her past to her future. Whether it's the flaky potato knishes and molasses porridge bread she learned to bake at her Baba Sarah&rsquo;s elbow, the creamy vichyssoise she taught herself to cook in her tiny student apartment, or the brown butter eggs her father, now 93, still scrambles for her whenever she needs comfort, cuisine is both an anchor and an identity; a source of joy and a signifier of survival. How to Share an Egg is a journey of deep flavors and surprising contrasts. By turns sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, this is one woman's search to find her voice as a writer, chef, mother and daughter. Do the tiny dramas of her own life matter in comparison to everything her father has seen and done?&nbsp;This&nbsp;moving exploration of heritage, inheritance, and self-discovery sets out to find the answer.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1116051</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1116051</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reichert, Bonny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1116051051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A True Story of Hunger, Love, and Plenty</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525612575/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the Way to the River]]></title><description><![CDATA[What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? An essential, universally resonant new memoir from the #1 bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic. Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Gilbert&rsquo;s Eat Pray Love inspired millions of readers to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery. A decade later, Big Magic empowered countless others to live their most creative lives. Now comes another landmark book&mdash;about love and loss, addiction and recovery, grief and liberation. In 2000, a friend sent Liz to see a new hairdresser named Rayya Elias. An intense and unlikely curiosity sparked between these two apparent opposites: Rayya, an East Village badass who lived boldly on her own terms but feared she was a failed artist; Liz, a married people-pleaser with a surprisingly unfettered sense of creativity. Over the years, they became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. Unacknowledged: they were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe. What if the love of your life&mdash;and the person you most trusted in the world&mdash;became a danger to your sanity and wellbeing? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening? All the Way to the River is for everyone who has ever been captive to love andamp;ndash; or to any other passion, substance, or craving&mdash;and who yearns, at long last, for peace and freedom.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1109642</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1109642</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gilbert, Elizabeth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1109642051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Love, Loss, and Liberation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593541005/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Serviceberry]]></title><description><![CDATA[An Instant  New York Times  Bestseller     From the #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  Braiding Sweetgrass , a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.  As Indigenous scientist and author of  Braiding Sweetgrass  Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth&#8212;its abundance of sweet, juicy berries&#8212;to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, "Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency."    As Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is "a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world."  The Serviceberry  is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that "hoarding won't save us, all flourishing is mutual."     Robin Wall Kimmerer is donating her advance payments from this book as a reciprocal gift, back to the land, for land protection, restoration, and justice.]]></description><link>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1079242</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1079242</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tilley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1079242051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668072257/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
