The Californians : a novel / by Castleberry, Brian,author.;
"It's 2024, and Tobey Harlan-college dropout, temporary waiter, recently dumped-steals from the wall of his father's house three paintings by the venerated and controversial artist Di Stiegl. Tobey's just lost everything he owns to a Northern California wildfire, and if he can sell the paintings (albeit in a shady way to an infamous tech bro) he can start life anew in a place no one will ever find him, perhaps even Oregon. A hundred years before, Klaus Aaronsohn-German-Jewish immigrant, resident of the Lower East Side-inveigles his way into a film studio in Astoria, Queens. In love with silent cinema, Klaus restyles himself Klaus von Stiegl, a mysterious aristocratic German film director. In true Hollywood fashion, he will court fame, fortune, romance, and betrayal, and end his career directing Brackett: a radical, notorious 60s-era detective show. Weaving between Tobey and Klaus is the story of Diane "Di" Stiegl: Klaus's granddaughter, raised in Palm Springs, who claws out a career as an artist in gritty '80s NYC. As America yields the presidency to a Hollywood cowboy, as Diane's grifter father and free-spirited mother circle in and out of her life, Diane will reflect America's most urgent and hypocritical years back to itself, uneasily finding critical adoration as well as great fame and wealth. As dazzling as it is moving, The Californians is an ambitious and sweeping journey across a century. Nuanced and textured, gloriously funny, a critical portrait of the collective American consciousness that has brought us to today, it showcases Brian Castleberry as an inventive, stylish storyteller and a sharp observer of the human condition"--

The book of boundaries : set the limits that will set you free / by Urban, Melissa,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Since launching the mega-bestselling wellness program the Whole30, Melissa Urban has taught millions of people how to establish healthy habits, and how to deal with pushback and peer pressure. Now, in The Book of Boundaries, Urban shows how we can all make our lives bigger, richer, and more fulfilling through the magic of boundaries. According to Urban, establishing boundaries--carefully evaluating how other people's behaviour impacts you, then clearly communicating and consistently enforcing limits around what you will and will not tolerate in response to those behaviours--is the key to better mental health, improved self-confidence, and more fulfilling relationships. She explains: - How to identify the signals that a boundary needs to be set - The minimum dose/maximum effect method - How to hold a boundary - What to do if people respond poorly - How to establish consequences if your needs are not respected. A no-holds-barred guide, written with warmth and humour, The Book of Boundaries shows how a few carefully selected words, spoken with kindness and from a place of self-care, are all that stands between you and feelings of calm, ease, confidence, and freedom."--

The new rules of attachment : how to heal your relationships, reparent your inner child, and secure your life vision / by Ho, Judy(Psychologist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Did you know that attachment style impacts more than romantic relationships? As it turns out, most of us are thinking about Attachment Theory all wrong, and triple board-certified clinical and forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho is here to set the record straight. Grounded in the science of attachment, Dr. Judy's game-changing approach shows that our attachment style impacts every aspect of our lives: friendships, career, goal setting, and, critically, our sense of self. Moreover, we can all learn to become securely attached-no matter what attachment style we developed in childhood-meaning that we can reclaim our ability to feel safe, loved, and capable of achieving the life we've always wanted. Through Dr. Judy's innovative program, readers will learn to identify their attachment style, recognize their core needs and wounds, and implement evidence-based practical tools to heal their inner child as they develop the secure attachment we all need to thrive. Readers will also benefit from: a new attachment style quiz to identify your attachment style in all areas of life, a personalized approach that allows you to start making positive change today, and more than two dozen transformative exercises to support your journey to healing. With warmth, authority, and a bias to action, 'The New Rules of Attachment' is a call to achieving unconditional self-love and a meaningful, joyful life.

Kin : the future of family / by Johnson, Sophie Lucido,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Doesn't it seem like there simply isn't enough time to take care of ourselves, our families, and our to do lists? Even when we're partnered and surrounded by friends, we're often too afraid of burdening others to ask for help. So how do we survive today's age of overwork and stress, and who can we turn to for the support we need to stay afloat? Now, writer and cartoonist Sophie Lucido Johnson offers a radical answer to our age of overwhelm in Kin. With richly reported stories and insights from psychology and sociology, Lucido Johnson explores the importance of our closest relationships (beyond the nuclear family) and provides the tools to forge kinship: relationships built on emotional support, physical care, and shared resources. From asking for help on a grocery run, to choosing to have roommates later in life to combat loneliness, to living in modern day "mommunes" of single mothers sharing bills and responsibilities, Kin shows the vast range of kinship structures she and others are thriving in--and how to build your own community of support."--

Digital dharma : how AI can elevate spiritual intelligence and personal well-being / by Chopra, Deepak,author.;
"As a spiritual icon who continually explores the intersection of cutting-edge science and personal growth, Deepak Chopra, M.D., tackles the little-discussed spiritual benefits of AI and its vast potential to solve the greatest mystery confronting us: consciousness itself. By navigating the intricate balance between innovation and spirituality, Chopra explains that although AI cannot duplicate creative intelligence, it can vastly enhance our own. Humans have natural intelligence, not the artificial kind. We lead emotional lives; we are capable of insight and self-reflection. Despite these things, however, the human mind is deeply artificial in many ways, and the negative connotations of the word "artificial" -- fake, lifeless, illusory, mechanical, arbitrary -- apply to our everyday life. Instead of wondering how to make a machine conscious, we should be asking how a machine can make us more conscious. In this book, Chopra shows readers the seven levels of intelligence, including survival and safety, emotional connection, self-worth, abundance, knowledge, wisdom, and the infinite possibilities. These levels are understood by AI on a surface level, but humans can interpret them more accurately and with a self-knowledge that no chatbot can duplicate. But by asking the right questions, you can bring AI into your inner world, which is where personal growth happens. Chopra provides a personal assessment for readers to locate their level of awareness, and exercises to help readers attain their goals"--
