Ordinary Magic
'By one of the great psychologists of our time, a book that shows us how we can answer the universal questions that define our lives: Can I succeed? Do I belong? Am I loved?' Carol S. Dweck, bestselling author of MindsetDiscover simple psychological shifts that build trust, belonging, and confidence--from the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab at Stanford UniversityThe emotional questions we face can define our lives. If you're expecting an interaction to go wrong, that expectation can make it so. That's spiralling down. But as esteemed Stanford psychologist Greg Walton shows, when we see these questions clearly, we can answer them well. Known to social psychologists as wise interventions, these shifts in perspective can help us chart new trajectories for our lives. They help us spiral up. This is ordinary magic: The everyday experiences that help us set aside the ordinary worries of life to unleash extraordinary change. Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis of fascinating research Dr. Walton pulls back the curtain to reveal the magic at work:- With our children: The few choice words from a parent or a teacher that builds trust and achievement. - In our relationships: How the right opportunity to reflect, for just a few minutes before a conflict conversation, can engender greater intimacy among couples--even a year later. - In school: How learning that everyone feels as out of place at first as you do at a new school--they really do--can unleash extraordinary potential, improving your life a decade later. - In our policy: how a one-page letter reduced recidivism among kids returning to school from juvenile detention by 40 percentage points; a postcard campaign cut suicide rates in half. It's easy to think problems are out of our control. But in fact, we have vast opportunities for change. Ordinary Magic puts the tools for change at your fingertips.
Tell Me Where It Hurts
We can move the dial on pain.
Leading expert Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of treating pain.
Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an ageing body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was wrong?
We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain – influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been told – finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person, not just a body part.
Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight – it offers an empowering way forward.

On the Altar
How Christianity both abolished and absorbed sacrificeFrom the beginning, sacrifice lived a double life in Christianity, both abandoned and essential. Christ’s death on the cross was the sacrifice to end all sacrifice, eclipsing the temple sacrifices of Judaism and paganism. And yet at the center of the lived faith was the repetition of sacrifice: the offering of Christ’s body, the sacrifices of ancient patriarchs, and the sacrifices of martyrs woven through liturgy, theology, and popular devotion.But this double life collapsed in the Reformation. Quarreling heirs to Christian truth discovered that the sacrifices they once called Christian might be nothing of the sort. To build their new faiths—to discover the truth of Christian sacrifice—they turned to the past, learning from Christianity as it was how Christianity ought to be.In On the Altar, Jonathan Sheehan offers a new account of sacrifice both sacred and secular. His story is in part a history of the Christian imagination across the centuries of the Reformation, when new martyrs and holy warriors fought for the truth of their sacrifices, when the empire of New World sacrifice was recruited to settle Christian conflicts, and when the sacrifices of the ancient Hebrews were weaponized for orthodoxy. But it is a history of the secular imagination as well, as the vast archive of Christian sacrifice was dispersed and applied to things that humans make, their religions, politics, and societies. With On the Altar, Sheehan reveals a new history of both Christianity and the secular world in which we still live.

Masque of Honor
From the bestselling author of Veil of Doubt and The Grays of Truth comes a riveting tale of political intrigue, romance, and betrayal set in antebellum Virginia. John "Jack" Mason McCarty and his second cousin Armistead Mason are proud sons of the Virginia aristocracy-and as different as two men can be. Deeply ambitious and politically minded, Armistead has his sights on Congress and demands a level of respect he may not deserve. Jack, too, longs to make a name for himself, if he can stop gambling and drinking long enough to use his considerable wit to his advantage. Jack has little patience for Armistead's arrogance, while Armistead views Jack as a debaucherous adolescent unworthy of honor or respect-and neither is afraid to voice his opinion of the other. A poisonous animosity begins to fester between the two men, fueled by political schemes, illicit affairs, and scandalous reports in the press. Though the women who love them urge restraint, their bitter dispute nevertheless sets into motion a devastating chain of events that risks much more than their honor. The first book in the Fields of Honor series and based on the true events behind the 1819 MasonMcCarty duel, Masque of Honor is a story of valor, conviction, and the cost of sacrificing one life to forge another.

But even I never expected what came next.
Even I never expected my punishment to come so soon.
Midnight Mass is a novella and a sequel to Priest. It’s intended for mature audiences only.
Stone
“Invaluable. . . . [What] comes across in these translations is the verve and immediacy of the poems’ occasions.”—Seamus HeaneyA groundbreaking translation of the brilliant first book by one of the twentieth century’s most important poetsStone—Osip Mandelstam’s 1913 debut—marked the arrival of perhaps the greatest Russian poet of the twentieth century, one whose refusal to bow to Soviet political and artistic dictates led to his persecution and eventual death in one of Stalin’s prison camps. Mandelstam spent his early years in St. Petersburg, and many of the poems in Stone depict the city’s vast squares, classical buildings, and Dutch canals. Other poems reflect his hunger for Western European culture, his commitment to humanistic values, and his ambition to become a master of the Russian language. This bilingual edition is based on the final version of Stone, published in 1928, and features a biographical and critical introduction and detailed annotations.

The Anatomy of Awakening
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The author of The Energy Codes combines quantum science and cosmic principles with practical tools to awaken your high brain centers and access your capacity to embody divine love—right now, just as you are. In a world that feels faster, louder, and more uncertain than ever, many of us are searching for something steady to stand on. We want clarity, peace, and a sense of who we truly are, without feeling lost in the chaos. In The Anatomy of Awakening, Dr. Sue Morter, best-selling author of The Energy Codes, changes the narrative of how we understand human potential, perceive ourselves and others, and manifest the visions for our lives by learning the deeper language of the authentic self. Using this deeper language, we recover suppressed aspects of ourselves to heal completely and create the lives we are meant to live. Dr. Sue reveals a deeper inner design that underlies the human body and nervous system, helping us reconnect with a steadier, more authentic way of being. She introduces us to a Greater Love—moving beyond stress-driven reactions to feel steady, clear, and connected, even in the midst of life’s challenges. How we see ourselves changes, with an unconditionality that we’ve likely never known. Our purpose becomes clearer. Peace and healing follow. Our creative nature emerges. “...This book will change the way you see yourself, your purpose, and what is possible for your life. It is far more than a teaching—it is a living blueprint for embodying the highest expression of your soul…” — Anita Moorjani, New York Times best-selling author of Dying to Be Me Using an approach keyed to the higher states of consciousness within all of us, The Anatomy of Awakening opens what Dr. Sue describes as a “vibrational combination lock,” activating deeper levels of awareness and helping us become more masterful in how we live, feel, and respond. We align with five transformative universal principles or quantum “codes” to reveal a greater Truth:· Access our inner guidance and clarity· Move from overthinking into aligned action· Regulate the nervous system and change the way we experience life· See beyond limiting narratives· Integrate light and shadow to empower everyday life “With the precision of a master teacher and the heart of a mystic, Dr. Sue reveals the sacred ‘codes’ that dissolve the illusion of separation and awaken the God Presence in every breath, cell, and choice. This is not just a book you read, it’s an activation you live.” — Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and CEO, Agape International Spiritual Center; author of Life Visioning and Spiritual Liberation; and host of Take Back Your Mind podcast
