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"--

Organic : a journalist's quest to discover the truth behind food labeling / by Laufer, Peter,1950-;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Part food narrative, part investigation, part adventure story, Organic is an eye-opening and entertaining look into the anything goes world behind the organic label. It is also a wakeup call about the dubious origins of food labeled organic. After eating some suspect organic walnuts that supposedly were produced in Kazakhstan, veteran journalist Peter Laufer chooses a few items from his home pantry and traces their origins back to their source. Along the way he learns how easily we are tricked into taking "organic" claims at face value. With organic foods readily available at supermarket chains, confusion and outright deception about labels have become commonplace. Globalization has allowed food from highly corrupt governments and businesses overseas to pollute the organic market with food that is anything but. The organic environment is like the Wild West: oversight is virtually nonexistent, and deception runs amok. Laufer investigates so-called organic farms in Europe and South America as well as in his own backyard in the Pacific Northwest. The book examines what constitutes organic and by whom the definitions are made. The answers will stun readers, who have been sold a questionable, highly suspect, and even false bill of goods for years"--Provided by publisher.

The road to wisdom : on truth, science, faith, and trust / by Collins, Francis S.,author.;
"In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgment and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources -- their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately -- and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life."--

The answer comes down to credibility. But as this book reveals, invisible forces warp the credibility judgments of even the well-intentioned among us. We are all shaped by a set of false assumptions and hidden biases embedded in our culture, our legal system, and our psyches. The #MeToo movement has exposed how victims have been badly served by a system that is designed not to protect them, but instead to protect the status quo.

North of nowhere : song of a Truth and Reconciliation commissioner / by Wilson, Marie(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The incomparable first-hand account of the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada told by one of the commissioners who led it. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established to record the previously hidden history of more than a century of forced residential schooling for Indigenous children. Marie Wilson helped lead that work as one of just three commissioners. With the skills of a journalist, the heart of a mother and grandmother, and the insights of a life as the spouse of a residential school survivor, Commissioner Wilson guides readers through her years witnessing survivor testimony across the country, providing her unique perspective on the personal toll and enduring public value of the commission. In this unparalleled account, she honours the voices of survivors who have called Canada to attention, determined to heal, reclaim, and thrive. Part vital public documentary, part probing memoir, North of Nowhere breathes fresh air into the possibilities of reconciliation amid the persistent legacy of residential schools. It is a call to everyone to view the important and continuing work of reconciliation not as an obligation but as a gift."--
