A radical awakening : turn pain into power, embrace your truth, live free / by Tsabary, Shefali,1972-author.;
"Dr. Shefali Tsabary was 44 years old when she had an epiphany: the only person stopping her from harnessing her inner power was herself. Awoken to the patriarchal forces that shape female consciousness, Dr. Shefali dedicated her life to inspiring women to take back their power and liberate themselves mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. A Radical Awakening not only lays out a path to heal a woman's own wounds and those of women collectively, it prepares her to discover her own powers so that she may bring healing to others and the planet around her. Dr. Shefali Tsabary guides women through the process of uncovering the purpose that already exists within and harnessing the power of authenticity in every area of life. The result is an eloquent and inspiring, practical and accessible tool containing real-life examples and personal stories from Dr. Shefali's experience as a woman and clinical psychologist that show the extraordinary power of awakening your conscious self"--

A Horse at the Window [electronic resource] : by Gordon, Spencer.aut; cloudLibrary;
A genre-bending collection of dramatic monologues shining a light on the anxious, self-directed gaze that defines contemporary consciousness. Borrowing stylistic elements from the prose poem, faux memoir, online diatribe, and philosophical investigation, the twenty-five dramatic monologues in Spencer Gordon’s genre-bending collection shine a light on the anxious, self-directed gaze that defines contemporary consciousness. CEOs lose their obscene wealth in lurid hellrealms; an aspiring writer reassembles a personal history out of fragments from the 2000s; police cadets receive a curious crash course in transduction and ethics; the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and Deepwater Horizon oil spill reveal the immanent sublime. Ranging from ironic and furious to pleading and melancholic, Gordon’s speakers exist in a world of social media think pieces, hot takes and take downs, fake news and distorted facts, steeped in pop culture and its discontents. They are real people, intimate as kin. But they’re also pseudonyms, ghosts, and playbacks, echoing from insubstantial handles drifting on the web. They lie and lurk and love online, channelling the morphemes of digital language and filtering the concerns of self, performance, digital identity, and complicity through the irreverence, non-rationality, and surprising beauty of Zen.General adult.
