Reminiscent of God in a Cup and The Devil's Cup, this is an inside look into the modern business of making coffee.

    The Lessons of Ubuntu : Mark Mathabane

    #ads Get premium access to stream any unabridged audiobook by starting your free trial:https://booksreader.space/al-6888/Title: The Lessons of Ubuntu Series: How an African Philosophy Can Inspire Racial Healing in America Author: Mark Mathabane Narrator: JD Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 09:26:00 Release date: 01-30-18 Genres: Social Sciences Publisher's Summary: Mark Mathabane touched the hearts of millions with his sensational memoir, Kaffir Boy,. A book highly-praised by Oprah and President Clinton for inspiring hope, Kaffir Boy described the effects of South Africa's system of legalized racism and oppression on black lives in vivid prose. The book won the prestigious Christopher Award, was a finalist for the Robert F. Kennedy award, rose to #3 on The New York Times bestsellers list, and to #1 on the Washington Post list. It is required reading in schools across the country. In his latest book The Language of Ubuntu, Mathabane uses his experiences with race in both South Africa and in America, where he has lived for the past thirty-seven years, to provide a fresh, timely, and provocative approach to the search for solutions to this country's number one and most intractable social problem. Mathabane argues that the reason many Americans are turned off by the current divisive racial dialogue is because the discussion has mostly been about the politics of race and avoids the elephant in the room - - what each of us can do to become agents for racial healing. His solution is for people to learn to speak the language of Ubuntu, a Zulu word for common humanity. Mathabane shows how Nelson Mandela used such language to rally blacks and whites to abolish apartheid peacefully; and how Dr. King did the same thing for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement in the battle to eradicate Jim Crow. With race dominating the news during the 2016 Presidential election, in the wake of the killing of black men by the police, and growing protests on college and university campuses, Mathabane challenges both blacks and whites to use the language of Ubuntu to overcome the stereotypes, half-truths, misconceptions, and mistaken beliefs they have of each other so they can connect as human beings to achieve racial healing. Without this human connection, Mathabane argues, the racial divide will only get worse and make lasting solutions virtually impossible.

    Audiobook: The Deepest Well by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris

    #ads Get premium access to stream any unabridged audiobook by starting your free trial:https://booksreader.space/al-6888/Title: The Deepest Well Series: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity Author: Dr. Nadine Burke Harris Narrator: Dr. Nadine Burke Harris Format: Unabridged Length: 10:20:00 Release date: 01-23-18 Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Social Sciences Publisher's Summary: A pioneering physician reveals how childhood stress can lead to lifelong health problems and shows us what we can do to break the cycle. Two-thirds of us have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience, or ACE, such as abuse, neglect, parental substance dependence, or mental illness. Even though these events may have occurred long ago, they have the power to haunt us long into adulthood, and now we have found that they may even contribute to lifelong illness. Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, the founder/CEO of the Center for Youth Wellness and recipient of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award, expands on similar topics as in her popular TED talk as she demystifies the connection between adversity and ill health. After surveying more than 17,000 adult patients, she found that the higher a person's ACE score, the worse their health. This led Burke Harris to an astonishing breakthrough - childhood stress changes our neural systems, and its impact lasts a lifetime. Through vivid storytelling that combines both scientific insight with deeply moving stories about her patients and their families, Burke Harris illuminates her journey of discovery from the academy to her own pediatric practice in San Francisco's poverty-ridden Bayview Hunters Point. She reroots the story of childhood trauma and its aftermath in science to help listeners see themselves and others more clearly. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood or who cares about the millions of children who do, the innovative and acclaimed health interventions outlined in the The Deepest Well represents vitally important hope for change.

The magazines we buy depends on what magazines are displayed at the checkout of the supermarket.

    Alfred Corea presents Stoicism: How to Make Your Emotions Stronger Than Stone

    #ads Get premium access to stream any unabridged audiobook by starting your free trial:https://booksreader.space/al-6888/Title: Stoicism: How to Make Your Emotions Stronger Than Stone Author: Alfred Corea Narrator: John Febbo Format: Unabridged Length: 01:24:00 Release date: 01-18-18 Genres: Social Sciences Publisher's Summary: Today's culture teaches us the importance of mental toughness, emotional resilience, and overall grit. The ability to persevere in the midst of challenging circumstances can mean the difference between a person being successful in life and living a life full of pain and struggle. Regardless of how talented, intelligent, socially well-adjusted and capable someone is, he or she is powerless without having honed the ability to endure hardship and adversity. No one knows more about how to achieve these strengths than the Stoics of Ancient Greece and Rome. In fact, cognitive behavioral therapy - thought to be the most effective way to treat emotional and mental disorders - is based on the beliefs of Stoicism. Psychotherapy is above all a philosophical pursuit rooted in traditions both ancient and modern. It uses rational thought exercises to overcome emotionally overwhelming situations. The same logical thought processes used in cognitive behavioral therapy to treat debilitating mental conditions can be used to fortify your emotions on a day-to-day basis. By learning the values of Stoicism and practicing them in your daily life, you can teach yourself to strengthen your emotional fortitude so that you can take on any challenge you may find yourself facing in life. Even great losses contain lessons within them. By practicing the virtues and coping methods of the Stoic philosophy, you will become skilled in seeing and benefiting from those lessons rather than allowing loss and adversity to consume you.
