Mattering examines the concept of “mattering,” defined as the perception of being valued and having opportunities to contribute, and its relationship to individual and social well-being. Drawing on research and personal narratives, Wallace explores how experiences of mattering and not mattering affect people in various contexts, including work, caregiving, grief, and life transitions. The book introduces the idea of a “mattering core,” consisting of recognizing one’s impact, being relied upon in balanced ways, feeling prioritized, and being known and invested in by others. Wallace discusses strategies for strengthening this core and considers how individuals, organizations, and communities can foster environments that support a sense of mattering and purpose.

"Public health is an unusual discipline -- a combination of science, sociology, politics, and logistics--with a simple goal: to create the conditions for human thriving. At the moment, Americans, regardless of what macroeconomic statistics might suggest, are decidedly not thriving: from our failed covid response to our epidemics of depression and isolation to our inadequate healthcare system, Americans are in a state of deep malaise. Michelle Williams, one of the country's true innovators in public health, reaches back into the past to draw out the lessons that public health has to offer for our time and into the future. She tells the hidden history of public health in America--how radicals and renegades from WEB DuBois to Jane Addams to the activists of ACT UP helped lead what she calls "the great escape" from human suffering that is at the heart of the public health mission. As she takes readers from one dramatic story to the next, she draws out the lessons that apply to our time, and makes the compelling argument that it is public health, rather than standard economic metrics or partisan politics, that should drive our country's policies and political culture -- and that if we fail to prioritize health and well-being for everyone, we have failed as a society. She ends by pointing to the ideas and policies that have the potential to transform this country and fulfill our founding creed--to "promote the general welfare for ourselves and our posterity." Here is a dramatic, sweeping history that enables us to better understand the past--the victories, defeats, and tipping points that compelled us to take action--and what we need to do in the future to address new and novel threats, and complete the unfinished business of public health"-- Provided by publisher.

"In this essential and immensely timely book, Separation of Powers, Cass Sunstein explains why the separation of powers is necessary for both freedom and self-government. He shows that freedom from fear is a central goal of the separation of powers. He also explains why the executive branch is the most dangerous branch, why the idea of presidential immunity is a terrible one, and why an independent juciciary is crucial. Drawing on this extensive experience in the White House, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security, the author also argues that the separation of powers is, in fact, six separations of powers : 1. The legislature may not exercise the executive power -- 2. The legislature may not exercise the judicial power -- 3. The executive may not exercise the legislative power -- 4. The executive may not exercise the judicial power -- 5. The judiciary may not exercise the legislative power -- 6. The judiciary may not exercise the executive power. Each of these is essential to liberty under law" -- from the publisher.

"An impassioned-and data-driven-case for a four-day workweek. The five-day workweek is a pillar of modern life, but it isn't backed by science, ancient wisdom, or divine decree. It's simply a relic of the industrial age-and it's time for an upgrade. What if we could be more productive while working fewer days? Just a few years ago, a shortened workweek seemed like a radical idea. Today, it's a serious strategy being embraced by forward-thinking business leaders, progressive politicians, and a new generation of workers demanding more-meaningful productivity. In Do More in Four, Joe O'Connor-a pioneer in designing and leading four-day-workweek pilots around the globe-and journalist Jared Lindzon, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and TIME magazine, present a groundbreaking, data-driven exploration of why a four-day workweek isn't merely possible-it's necessary in the modern business context. Drawing on extensive research and compelling case studies, O'Connor and Lindzon take readers inside the organizations that have transformed their work models, improving employee retention, boosting engagement, and driving revenue growth. Do More in Four is a blueprint for a smarter, more humane approach to work"-- Provided by publisher.

Politicians make big promises, deliver little to nothing and keep the game rigged in their favour. But what can we do? With disarming clarity and a deep sense of urgency, political theorist Hélène Landemore argues that electoral politics is broken but democracy isn't. We've just been doing it wrong. Drawing on ancient Athenian practices and contemporary citizens' assemblies, Landemore champions an alternative approach that is alive, working and growing around the world: civic lotteries that select everyday people to govern, not as career politicians but as temporary stewards of the common good.When regular citizens come together in this way, they make smarter, fairer, more forward-thinking decisions, often bringing out the best in one another.

"Roger Dooley wasn't looking for the San José. But an accidental discovery in the dusty stacks of a Spanish archive led him to the story of a lifetime: the tale of a great eighteenth-century treasure ship loaded with riches from the New World and destined for Spain. But that ship, the galleon San José, met a darker fate. It was drawn into a pitched battle with British ships of war off the coast of Cartagena, and when the smoke cleared, the San José and its bounty had disappeared into the ocean, its coordinates lost to time. Though a diver at heart, Dooley was an unlikely candidate to find the [ship]. He had little in the way of serious credentials, yet his tenacity and single-minded devotion to finding and excavating the ship powered him across four decades, even as he became a man in exile from the country of his birth. As Dooley jousted with famous treasure hunters and well-funded competitors, he slowly homed in on a patch of sea that might contain a three-hundred-year-old shipwreck--or nothing at all."--

"Every relationship in our lives - from love and close friendship to extended family and our wider social circle - is a balancing act. If we give too much, we begin to lose ourselves. If we protect ourselves too much, we lose the closeness we all need. Getting the balance right is how we find more connection, authenticity, and joy. The Balancing Act is a roadmap for finding that balance. With her signature blend of clarity and compassion, therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab sheds light on healthy dependency, and how to achieve it. Along the way, she unpacks buzzwords and trending topics including codependency, attachment styles, inner family systems, and more - offering practical advice for recognizing our needs, navigating conflict, and finding more harmony with the important people in our lives. Whether you're yearning for more trust with a spouse or partner, more clarity with a best friend or sibling, or more agency in how you show up in the world, these insights will help you reevaluate, reset, and relate better"-- Provided by publisher.

"As the civil rights movement blazed through America, more than 300,000 Black troops were drafted and sent to fight in the Vietnam War. These soldiers, often from disadvantaged backgrounds and subjected to the brutalities of racism back home, found themselves thrust onto the frontlines of a war many saw as unjust. On the homefront, Black antiwar activists faced another battle: Opposition to the Vietnam War, vilified by key allies in the media and government as anti-American, jeopardized the fight for civil rights. For Black Americans,the Vietnam War forced a generation to question what it truly meantto fight for justice. Award-winning civil rights historian MatthewF. Delmont weaves together the stories of two Black heroes of the Vietnam War era: Coretta Scott King, who bravely championed the antiwar cause--and eventually persuaded her husband to do the same and Dwight "Skip" Johnson, a Medal of Honor recipient whose life ended tragically after returning from battle to his native Detroit. Together, these extraordinary accounts expose the contradictions of Black activism and military service during the Vietnam War. Through rich storytelling, Delmont offers a portrait of this period unlike any other, shedding light on a fractured civil rights movement, a generation of veterans failed by the country they served, and the valor of Black servicemen and peace advocates in the midst of it all."--

"Groundbreaking same sex couple Jesseca Harris-Dupart & Shawntae HarrisDupart (a.k.a. the platinum recording artist Da Brat) detail their path to love, marriage, and becoming parents"--

""But I'm bored." Parents constantly hear these three dreaded words from their kids, and it's no secret why-our kids don't know how to play by themselves anymore and make their own fun. Busy schedules, on-demand screens, and safety concerns have transformed the landscape of play for children today, and parents have been unfairly expected to fill in the gap. We love our kids, but we don't need to play with them 24/7 to be a good parent! Independent play is Lizzie Assa's specialty, and she has become the go-to expert on the topic to the 200K parents who follow her on Instagram and the 20K newsletter subscribers who get her weekly updates and ideas. The key, she argues, is to prioritize independent, unstructured play. The result: kids can develop their imagination...and parents can enjoy some precious, much-needed time to themselves! In "But I'm Bored!", Assa shows exactly how to strike this balance. Through high-impact, low-effort strategies, parents learn how to create play pockets in their home, choose open-ended toys that spark imagination, set play boundaries (and stick to them), and enforce the wonders of quiet time. Then, when parents do engage in play time with their kid, it doesn't feel like a job-it strengthens their relationship to their child and helps cultivate an overall happier, healthier environment for the whole family. "But I'm Bored!" isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about freeing your child to be authentically themselves...so you can be the best version of yourself. Because doesn't every child (and parent) deserve that?"--

"Beyond Infidelity" is first book that helps people transform the experience of infidelity into a catalyst for unparalleled personal growth, from the popular online therapist, Lauren LaRusso, who has helped thousands do the same. Cheating is a topic she knows all too well, as both a professional who helps clients grappling with the realization of a partner's affair AND as a wife whose own marriage ended due to infidelity. Desperate for answers, LaRusso set to work learning every last thing she could about rebuilding her life and helping others do the same. Shocked by cheating's prevalence, she wondered: if millions of people are having affairs, why aren't we openly speaking about it? Why is the topic still so taboo? And most importantly: why isn't anyone talking honestly about how the partners left behind can rebuild their lives and reclaim themselves in the wake of it? Most books on infidelity either focus on reconciliation OR they normalize cheating as a mere "warning sign" in a relationship. LaRusso is here to assure you that you can still find hope and even happiness on the other side of infidelity. In fact, great beauty and personal transformation awaits, if you know how to find it. In Beyond Infidelity, LaRusso writes the book she wishes had existed when she was suffering in silence. With an interactive seven-step guide-taking readers from understanding what you're going through, to stabilizing yourself and curating your world, to breaking free and becoming whole-Beyond Infidelity meets readers where they are in their moment of crisis. With writing that is strikingly intimate, compassionate, and free of judgment, LaRusso's work flips the script on infidelity. Being cheated on, she explains, is not your fault. Even if your marriage ends, this moment can actually be an opportunity for lasting self-growth and healing. (Really!) This, LaRusso argues, is the true gift of infidelity-moving beyond betrayal and rising from the ashes of your relationship stronger than ever.

"It was a great love story, one for the ages. The speed of our beginning and the speed of our ending felt like matching bookends. They both came out of nowhere. He wanted it, he wanted me. And then he didn't. In March 2020, Belle Burden was safe and secure with her family at their house on Martha's Vineyard, navigating the early days of the pandemic together--building fires in the late afternoons, drinking whiskey sours, making roast chicken. Then, with no warning or explanation, her husband of twenty years announced that he was leaving her. Overnight, her caring, steady partner became a man she hardly recognized. He exited his life with her like an actor shrugging off a costume. In Strangers, Burden revisits her marriage, searching for clues that her husband was not who she always thought he was. As she examines her relationship through a new lens, she reckons with her own family history and the lessons she intuited about how a woman is expected to behave in the face of betrayal. Through all of it, she is transformed. The discreet, compliant woman she once was--someone nicknamed 'Belle the Good'--gives way to someone braver, someone determined to use her voice. With unflinching honesty and profound grace, Burden charts a path through heartbreak to show the power of a woman who refuses to give up on love. Strangers is a stunning, deeply moving, compulsively readable memoir heralding the arrival of a thrilling new literary talent." --

"DEI needs a reset. Discover how to achieve real social change in the workplace that puts everyone ahead through the groundbreaking FAIR framework. The demand for inclusive workplaces is stronger than ever, with most employees seeking a sense of belonging and fairness at work. Yet traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies have faced backlash and stagnation, leaving organizations at a crossroads. Where common DEI initiatives have failed, this book instead offers a results-based, systems-focused, all-inclusive, and universally beneficial framework to help bring about real social change in the workplace. This can be achieved through the FAIR framework: Fairness-Promote equitable treatment by addressing systemic barriers and ensuring transparent, just practices for all; Access-Expand opportunities by removing obstacles and creating pathways for underserved and underrepresented groups; Inclusion-Foster a sense of belonging where diverse voices are valued, heard, and integrated into decision-making; Representation-Reflect the diversity of society at all levels, ensuring visibility and participation across demographics. This book isn't about the next acronym or rebranding; it's a call to action for a more effective and resilient approach to social progress. The DEI industrial complex failed to make real change through unchecked growth and performative practices, and far-right antagonists only offer regressive "solutions." With clarity, urgency, and practicality, Fixing Fairness offers a third option and charts a path forward for those committed to creating better outcomes for all"-- Provided by publisher.

"Our debates about immigration revolve around what happens with immigrants once they arrive. [The author believes that] we need to start talking about who is sending them and why. For decades, establishment elites sold us the story of immigration as a compassionate renewal of the American Dream within a harmonious melting pot. But beneath that narrative lies a different reality: mass migration has morphed into the most powerful political weapon ever aimed at the UnitedStates--one engineered by elites at home and aided by adversaries abroad"--

A heart-wrenching and sensitive examination of the tragic loss of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's premature son, Patrick, and how their shared grief brought them closer together in the months leading up to his assassination. In April 1963, the White House announced that Jackie was pregnant with a sibling for Caroline and John Jr.--joyful news after years of miscarriages and a stillbirth in 1956. But on August 7th, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born six weeks early, and in the absence of lifesaving measures common today, he died less than two days later. In this definitive, soulful account of the struggle to save Patrick, Steven Levingston reveals that the infant's brief life, tragic as is was, ultimately set the notoriously unfaithful president on a path to becoming a more attentive husband and father only months before his fateful trip to Dallas. In a parallel storyline, Levingston reveals the largely unknown role President Kennedy played in modernizing an important corner of American health care. After Patrick's death, he ordered studies into the primitive state of premature care and drummed up millions of dollars in government funding, igniting a revolution in treatments that over the decades have saved millions of infants thanks to the invention of baby ventilators, new drugs, and modern neonatal intensive care units. For his definitive account of Patrick's brief but influential life, drawing on first-ever interviews with doctors who treated Jackie and Patrick, new revelations of the Secret Service agent in whose speeding car Jackie nearly gave birth prematurely, and on new archival documents, Twilight of Camelot is a fresh and humanizing portrait of one of the most famous and complicated couples of the 20th century, and a pulsating drama that illuminates little-known details of the Kennedy family history and legacy.
