Elsa och Natanael Beskow : en kärlekshistoria

Includes a mindfulness meditation led by the author! Instant New York Times Bestseller From psychotherapist and social media star Meg Josephson, a groundbreaking “cure for chronic people-pleasing” (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author) that explores the common survival instinct called fawning and offers “explanations, comfort, and best of all, solutions” (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author). Are you... - Constantly worried about what people think of you, if they like you, if they’re mad at you? - The eldest daughter and/or the angry daughter? - Anxious, a perfectionist, or an overachiever? - Always overextending yourself (and then resentful)? - Someone who avoids conflict at all costs? - Fearful of getting into trouble or being seen as “bad”? - Silencing your needs for the comfort and happiness of everyone else? - Prone to overexplain or over apologize? - Eternally obsessing over why someone texted with a period instead of an exclamation point? Psychotherapist Meg Josephson is here to show you that people-pleasing is not a personality trait. It’s a common survival mechanism known as “fawning”: an instinct often learned in childhood to become more appealing to a perceived threat in order to feel safe. Yet many people are stuck in this way of being for their whole lives. Are You Mad at Me? weaves Josephson’s own moving story with that of fascinating client stories and thought-provoking exercises to show you how to: - Identify all the roles you might play—from peacekeeper to performer to caretaker to lone wolf to perfectionist to chameleon—that keep you far from yourself. - Stop fearing your thoughts and emotions, even if they’re unpleasant. - Rethink conflict and boundaries as an opening for deeper connection. - Practice “leaning back” in relationships. - Recognize when people-pleasing is actually necessary (with your chaotic boss) and when it’s not (with your close friends) and stop self-loathing when you slip into old patterns. - Shift away from the familiar chaos, anxiety, and resentment you’re used to as you move closer to yourself and a life that no longer depletes you—but brings you joy. With Josephson’s “lucid prose and smart mix of clinical expertise, personal disclosure, and pertinent case studies” (Publishers Weekly), Are You Mad at Me? will help you shed the behaviors that are keeping you stuck in the past so that you can live in your most authentic present.

Are You Mad at Me?

Adam Grant visar hur vi kan lyfta oss själva och andra till oanade höjder. Vi lever i en värld som är besatt av talang. Överallt hyllas begåvade skolelever, musikaliska underbarn och idrottare som utmärker sig tidigt i livet. Men all denna beundran för människor med medfödda fördelar får oss att missa vad vi själva kan göra för att utvecklas. Vi underskattar hur mycket vi kan lära oss och hur bra vi kan bli. Vi kan alla bli bättre på att bli bättre. Och när inga dörrar står öppna går det faktiskt att bygga en själv. Din dolda potential är en bok som ger nya verktyg åt den som vill höja sina ambitioner och överträffa andras förväntningar. Adam Grant väver samman ny forskning och överraskande insikter med medryckande berättelser som tar läsaren med från klassrummet till styrelserummet, från lekplatsen till OS och från underjorden till yttre rymden. Han visar att förmågan att lära är viktigare än något annat, och att framgång inte beror så mycket på medfödd begåvning som på inlärd karaktär. Grant utforskar hur vi kan bygga upp karaktärsfärdigheter och strukturer som motiverar oss att upptäcka vår dolda potential, och utforma system som skapar möjligheter för människor som har varit underskattade och åsidosatta. Det finns många böcker som berättar om superstjärnor och deras väg till toppen. Den här boken visar hur vi alla kan nå högre höjder. Det som säger mest om din potential är inte hur högt du har nått, utan hur långt du har klättrat för att ta dig dit. Adam Grant visar hur vi kan lyfta oss själva och andra till oanade höjder. "En inspirerande, väl underbyggd och dessutom mycket välskriven bok." Lektör Gunnar Westling i BTJ-häftet nr 20, 2024

Din dolda potential

Intelligens ses ofta som förmågan att tänka och lära sig, men i en värld som snabbt förändras finns det en annan uppsättning kognitiva färdigheter som kan vara ännu viktigare: förmågan att tänka och lära om. Alltför många av oss föredrar övertygelsens bekvämlighet framför tvivlets obehag. Vi lyssnar på åsikter som får oss att må bra i stället för på idéer som får oss att tänka efter. Vi beter oss som åklagare som försöker bevisa att motståndarsidan har fel i stället för som forskare på jakt efter sanningen. Organisationspsykologen Adam Grant är expert på att öppna andras sinnen och på att få oss att öppna våra egna sinnen. Baserat på vetenskaplig evidens formulerar han nyskapande idéer kring hur vi kan välkomna glädjen över att ha fel, hur man kan nyansera laddade samtal och skapa skolor, arbetsplatser och gemenskaper där man lär livet ut. Öppet sinne (Think Again) visar att vi inte behöver tro på allt vi tänker eller internalisera allt vi känner. Det är en inbjudan till att släppa taget om åsikter som inte längre gagnar oss och värdera mental flexibilitet, ödmjukhet och nyfikenhet högre än korkad tvärsäkerhet. Om kunskap är makt är det visdom att veta vad vi inte vet. Öppet sinne är ett måste att läsa för alla som vill skapa en kultur för lärande och utforskande, vare sig det är hemma, på jobbet eller i skolan. I en alltmer splittrad värld är lärdomarna boken förmedlar viktigare än någonsin. - Bill och Melinda Gates Adam Grants arbete manar till eftertanke och omprövning på ett sätt som till en början kan verka skrämmande, men som snabbt förvandlas till en spännande upplevelse av självinsikt. Oavsett var man befinner sig på sin professionella eller personliga bana kan alla lära sig något av den här boken - Daniel Ek, medgrundare och vd på Spotify Hur man i praktiken ska förbättra andras och sin egen ödmjukhet är ett mysterium för de flesta. Inte för Adam Grant. Aldrig har jag läst en bok som är så användbar för att träna ett öppet sinne. Från och med idag är denna bok obligatorisk läsning för alla på Gapminder. - Ola Rosling, medgrundare av Gapminder och medförfattare till Factfulness Adam Grant anser att det går att lära sig att ha ett öppet sinne. Ingen skulle kunna lära ut denna enormt värdefulla färdighet bättre än han gör i sin fantastiska bok. Insikterna i denna briljanta bok kommer garanterat att få dig att ompröva dina åsikter och viktigaste beslut. - Daniel Kahneman, vinnare av Ekonomipriset till Alfred Nobels minne och författare till Tänka, snabbt och långsamt

Öppet sinne

Ingen kan bättre skriva boken om frihet än Malin Berghagen. Hon antog nämligen utmaningen själv att skapa sig ett liv i frihet. På riktigt. Genom att befria sig från invanda mönster och begränsande föreställningar som de flesta av oss människor bär på har hon följt sitt hjärtas röst, i kärlek, yrkesliv och när det gäller hemvist. Hon har befriat sig från en mängd måsten och är i sanning fri som människa med en gypset soul. Att uppleva att man lever i sann frihet är inte enkelt för alla eftersom den frihet vi åtnjuter är slumpmässig, beroende av våra gener, våra föräldrar, vår uppfostran och det samhälle vi växer upp i. Vår frihet kan verka godtycklig. Men, vi kan alla sträva efter frihet i största möjliga mån: frihet från vårt ego, frihet från begränsande föreställningar, frihet från andras och egna förväntningar. Vi kan öva på det i vardagen, genom att förändra vårt sätt att bemöta människor och hantera olika situationer. Vi kan också öva på att förlåta oss själva och inte vara våra egna värsta domare och det gäller oss alla. Vi är ofta självkritiska och har höga prestationskrav. Motgiftet är självmedkänsla att vara snäll mot sig själv; ta in att vi inte är ensamma; möta smärtan men inte fastna i den. Som Malin. I sin bok Frihet att leva sin längtan berättar hon ärligt och öppet om sin oro som barn, om att känna sig fängslad av sina egna hjärnspöken och snärjande tankar och om modet att våga leva i sin egenskapade frihet. Den kommer inte av sig självt utan har krävt övning, tunga erfarenheter och en omutlig vilja till utveckling av sig själv som individ. Hon berättar om motgångar och lösningar och återkommer till det som varit hennes största utmaning och gåva till sig själv. Att våga leva sin längtan att våga välja ett liv i frihet. Malin Berghagen är yogalärare och hälsoinspiratör med en bakgrund som fotomodell, skådespelare och programledare. Det här är hennes sjätte bok.

Frihet

The revealing, wildly entertaining, and bestselling memoir from the legendary Bruce Springsteen, one of the greatest songwriters and performers of any era. Born to Run is the greatest rock ‘n’ roll story ever told. Essential reading for 2025’s 50th anniversary of Springsteen’s seminal album “Born to Run” and coinciding with the highly anticipated film “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” starring Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, about the writing and recording of Springsteen’s classic “Nebraska” record. Following his 2009 Super Bowl halftime performance, Bruce Springsteen privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life. The result is “an utterly unique, endlessly exhilarating, last-chance-power-drive of a memoir” (Rolling Stone) that offers the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (“Thunder Road,” “Badlands,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River” “Born in the USA,” “The Rising,” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences. “Both an entertaining account of Springsteen’s marathon race to the top and a reminder that the one thing you can’t run away from is yourself” (Entertainment Weekly), Born to Run is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This book is a “a virtuoso performance, the 508-page equivalent to one of Springsteen and the E Street Band’s famous four-hour concerts: Nothing is left onstage, and diehard fans and first-timers alike depart for home sated and yet somehow already aching for more” (NPR).

Born to Run

Artificiell intelligens är inte längre science fiction. Den är ett faktum och den förändrar våra liv och vårt samhälle. Max Tegmark har skrivit ett blivande standardverk om mänsklighetens framtida existens. Är det troligt att vi kommer att skapa övermänsklig intelligens? Hur bör vårt rättsväsende hantera autonoma system? Hur slår automatiseringen? Detta är brännande frågor som vi alla behöver adressera: Om vi skapar en övermänsklig intelligens, skulle det då vara möjligt att kontrollera den? Kan vi över huvud taget försäkra oss om att användningen av AI gynnar oss? Max Tegmark betraktar dessa frågor ur sitt unika perspektiv och väljer bort både teknikskepticism och digital utopi vi behöver en rationell medelväg för att kunna navigera vår spektakulära framtid.

Liv 3.0

Det finns mycket skrivet om den mytologiske Jesus. Men vem var egentligen Jesus – den historiske personen? Jesus var inte kristen. Han var jude. Född, uppvuxen och verksam i en judisk miljö. Han predikade för judar och hans efterföljare var judar. Kristendomen uppstod först efter korsfästelsen. Till en början betraktades den som en judisk sekt – idag är kristendomen världens största religion. Jesus verkade i en avkrok av romarriket. Han hade ingen officiell titel. Han lämnade inte en skriven rad efter sig. Vi vet inget om hans bildningsnivå, hur han såg på sig själv eller om han hade för avsikt att starta en ny religion. I ”Jesus. Jude, Rebell, Gud?” skriver Sören Wibeck en kritisk biografi om den person som dominerat Västerlandets historia under 2000 år. I boken presenteras och analyseras fakta om Jesus existens, politiska miljö, familjeförhållanden och död.

Jesus : Jude, rebell, Gud?

"Hon är värd respekt för så mycket, sin disciplin, sin produktivitet, sin skärpa och sitt allvar. Men hon kunde vara hård mot de svaga, och allra hårdast mot sig själv. Ibland tycker jag synd om Elin. Men den besvärliga Elin Wägner låter sig varken kramas eller ömkas så lätt, och vi kommer inte undan henne heller. Vi behöver henne." Så skriver Ulrika Knutson i inledningen till sin bok om Elin Wägner. Med kunskap och humor tecknar författaren ett levande porträtt av en av det svenska 1900-talets viktigaste röster. Ulrika Knutson läser själv in sin rosade och hyllade biografi. Författaren sätter ord på sina väl valda formuleringar och beskrivningar av Elin Wägner (1882–1949). Här möter vi den unga Elin, den rappa och välformulerade journalisten som försörjde sin make. Samtidigt gick Elin gärna på krogen och utmanade sin samtid. Som författare är hon känd för banbrytande romaner, hon var med och startade Kvinnliga Medborgarskolan vid Fogelstad, Rädda Barnen och Svenska Hem. Som andra kvinna valdes Elin Wägner 1944 in i Svenska Akademien. Men Elin var också en kvinna som kämpade för rösträtt, fri kärlek, fred och miljön – en kvinna långt före sin tid. Ulrika Knutson är en välkänd radioröst och journalist. Biografin om Elin Wägner är hennes efterlängtade litterära comeback.

Den besvärliga Elin Wägner

Read by the author. "Not only was I singled out and shamed, but I was lied to as well. I'm still trying to untangle the lies--some of them televised across the country--from the truth." You've heard some of the story: the manipulation and abuse hidden behind the traditional Christian values that the Duggar family held up on TLC's hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting. As some of the scandal came to light, several of the Duggar children, including Jill and Jinger, have opened up about what it was like growing up in that environment. But for the first time, Amy Duggar King--a close relative who spent almost every day with her 19 cousins and her aunt and uncle--brings the story into sharp relief, vulnerably sharing not only what life was like with the Duggars but how she, at the end of the day, had her own broken home to return to, a home that was hiding many other secrets. Amy knows what it's like to be coerced and have her voice silenced. Her story reveals a world of unrealistic expectations and gaslighting in which a normal young woman had to untangle a web of carefully crafted lies while fighting to protect her own mental health. In that world, she was branded "Crazy Cousin Amy"--an identity she didn't choose but was forced to live into. In Holy Disruptor, Amy gives her unfiltered testimony to finally break free from the toxic cycles that swirled around her and to confront the trauma she endured off-camera. In the years since the Duggar family collapse, Amy has intentionally dissociated from the toxic family environment, which has helped her learn how to be a "holy disruptor" and make life-changing decisions for her well-being. This is a story about how she discovered that disrupting such deception is a holy act that brings freedom and joy . . . and it applies to you too. No matter what you've been told or how you've been manipulated in the past, freedom is waiting for you. It's time to use your voice and get loud with the truth.

Holy Disruptor

I september 2017 polisanmäler Peter Gembäck, tidigare pastor i Knutbyförsamlingen sig själv och två andra pastorer. Den nya utredningen avslöjar hur det uppmärksammade mordet och mordförsöket i Knutby 2004 inte alls var en slutpunkt. Tvärtom blottlägger den nya rättsprocessen ett maktmissbruk som fortsatte långt efter att mediernas sökarljus slocknat. Med hjälp av verktyg som våld, sex och pengar kunde en osund sektkultur fortsätta frodas, väl dolt under en rätt så ”normal” yta. Det här är berättelsen om pastorerna som styrde Knutby, föreställningen kring Kristi brud och sprickan i den innersta kretsen som blev början till slutet för Knutby församling. Historien är berättad ur Peter Gembäcks perspektiv och med hans minnesbilder och intryck av olika personer som grund. Han var högt uppsatt i hierarkin och för första gången vill han berätta hur han själv gjort fel, ljugit och kränkt. Med en unik inblick kan han berätta saker från den innersta kretsen som aldrig tidigare avslöjats. Knutby inifrån är ett försök att förklara hur en pingstförsamling med engagerade unga människor successivt blev till en sekt. I ett avslutande kapitel går psykoterapeuten Rigmor Robért i genom vilka mekanismer som gör att förtryck och manipulation accepteras. Peter Gembäck flyttade till Knutby 1997 och var under ett 20-tal år en av de ledande pastorerna och föreståndare i församlingen. Annika Sohlander är frilansjournalist och tidigare reporter på Aftonbladets rättsredaktion där hon bevakade en rad stora rättsfall, bland annat Knutbyrättegången 2004.

Knutby inifrån - så förvandlades pingstförsamlingen till en sekt

Includes exclusive audio cameos from One Tree Hill cast members Tyler Hilton, Paul Johansson, James Lafferty, and Chad Michael Murray! An “incredible” (Alex Cooper, Call Her Daddy), “riveting” (People) New York Times bestselling memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free. In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to break through as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her acting career was set to soar, but her personal life was beginning to unravel in ways her fans could never imagine. Unknown to the millions of viewers and even her costars, Lenz led a secret double life within a cult. As an only child seeking belonging, Lenz thought she found a safe haven in a Bible study group with fellow Hollywood creatives. However, the group morphed into something more sinister—a web of manipulation and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz surrendered her autonomy, eventually moving to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound overseen by a domineering minister who convinced her to marry his son and secretly drained millions from her TV income without her knowledge. Family “minders” assigned to her on set, “Maoist struggle session”—inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counseling with “Leadership” were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal. Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to escape and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help from a devoted One Tree Hill fan), she broke free from the family’s grip, beginning her healing journey from deep trauma that reshaped her faith and identity. Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is a “tart, refreshing” (The New York Times Book Review) story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.

Dinner for Vampires

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 2015 Christian Book Award winner • Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity in this expanded edition with new bonus content and reflections. "My friend Nabeel Qureshi was courageous enough to chase down the truth with intellectual integrity, no matter the personal cost," --Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ. Providing an intimate view into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and all those who are interested in two of the world's greatest religions and the quest for truth. Qureshi--with great courage and intimacy--wrote this book with three major purposes in mind: To tear down walls between two of the world's major religions by giving non-Muslim readers an insider's perspective into a Muslim's heart and mind.To equip the reader with facts and knowledge, showing the strength of the case for the gospel contrasted with the case for Islam.To portray the immense inner struggle of Muslims grappling with the gospel, including all the sacrifices and doubts that rise up along the way.Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is more than the memoir of a man's pursuit of answers to the most important issues of life and faith. Ultimately, it's the story about the transformative grace and mercy of the one true God. This edition has been expanded to include: A revised foreword and introductionA new afterword by apologist Mark Mittelberg and a reflection by Nabeel's wifeA substantially extended epilogue that shares how Nabeel told his friend David of his decision to follow Christ, how his parents found out, and moreExpert contributions from scholars and ministry leaders on each section of the book, contributions previously included only in the ebook editionAn appendix with a topical table of contents (for teaching from Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus)An appendix tackling the objection that Ahmadi Muslims--the Islamic movement that Qureshi was raised in--are not true MuslimsAnd a sneak peek prologue from Nabeel's book, No God but One: Allah or Jesus?

"Kvinnan är klädd i den traditionella, svarta klädseln som löper ända ned till marken. Min blick följer tygets väg ned mot hennes svarta skor, som blygsamt sticker fram under tyget, och fortsätter sedan tillbaka upp till hennes ansikte. Hon är bekant. Det vackra ansiktet och ögonen. Jag pausar andan. Det kan inte vara hon. Får inte vara hon." När Carinas dotter väljer att konvertera till islam tvingas hon möta både sina egna och omgivningens fördomar och rädslor. Upplevelsen av att förlora sitt enda barn till en religion som hon inte har något gemensamt med får konsekvenser både till vardags och vid högtider, när gamla familjetraditioner bryts med något okänt. Närheten de alltid haft till varandra förbyts till frånvaro och saknad. Känslorna av skuld och skam växer till en ständigt närvarande ryggsäck av sorg. Men det innebär också att Carina måste finna en ny väg, genom förnekelse och livsförändringar, till acceptans. Hitta tillbaka till glädjen och förmågan att nå en egen lugn plats fylld av tillit inför det som hänt. Carina Hjelm är utbildad socionom, coach och yogainspiratör. "Islam: min dotters val" är hennes första bok.

Islam: min dotters val

In honor of the ten-year anniversary of The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx’s definitive and bestselling memoir on drug addiction is reissued with exclusive new content. This shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious memoir explores Nikki’s yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction. Now more than ever, with opioid addiction ravaging our country and rising by twenty percent in the past year alone, Nikki’s story of both his descent into drug-addled decay and subsequent recovery and transition into a rehabilitation advocate are now more relevant than ever. When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn’t any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn’t do. He spent days—sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers—in a coke- and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares the diary entries—some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre—of those dark times. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and surprisingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom—and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.

The Heroin Diaries: Ten Year Anniversary Edition

Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time–war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism–in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all. In a time when our political and cultural perspectives feel more divisive than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin engines of enlightenment–a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how a scientist views the world and about what Earth looks like from space, Tyson has found that terrestrial thoughts change as our brain resets and recalibrates life's priorities, along with the actions we might take in response. As a result, no outlook on culture, society, or civilisation remains untouched. In Starry Messenger, Tyson reveals just how human the enterprise of science is. Far from a cold, unfeeling undertaking, scientific methods, tools, and discoveries have shaped modern civilisation and created the landscape we've built for ourselves on which to live, work, and play. Tyson shows how an infusion of science and rational thinking renders worldviews deeper and more informed than ever before–and exposes unfounded perspectives and unjustified emotions. With crystalline prose and an abundance of evidence, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From lessons on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, ten surprising, brilliant, and beautiful truths of human society, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe.

Starry Messenger

Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Heart-wrenchingly personal…dizzying.” —Rolling Stone From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral 8 Passengers family vlog—now the subject of a new Hulu docuseries—and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing. Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: “Finally.” For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, “ConneXions.” No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.

This is not a book about Saint Augustine. In a way, it's a book Augustine has written about each of us. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith has spent time on the road with Augustine, and he invites us to take this journey too, for this ancient African thinker knows far more about us than we might expect. Following Smith's successful You Are What You Love, this book shows how Augustine can be a pilgrim guide to a spirituality that meets the complicated world we live in. Augustine, says Smith, is the patron saint of restless hearts—a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits. Augustine spent a lifetime searching for his heart's true home and he can help us find our way. "What makes Augustine a guide worth considering," says Smith, "is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way." Addressing believers and skeptics alike, this book shows how Augustine's timeless wisdom speaks to the worries and struggles of contemporary life, covering topics such as ambition, sex, friendship, freedom, parenthood, and death. As Smith vividly and colorfully brings Augustine to life for a twenty-first-century audience, he also offers a fresh articulation of Christianity that speaks to our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes.

On the Road with Saint Augustine

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to a succinct account of the philosophy of Schopenhauer in just one hour. Arthur Schopenhauer, the ‘philosopher of pessimism,’ makes it clear that he regards the world and our life in it as a bad joke. However, if the world is indifferent to our fate it doesn’t thwart us deliberately – its façade is supported by what Schopenhauer calls the universal Will. He saw this as a force that is blind and without purpose, bringing on all our misery and suffering. Schopenhauer taught that our only hope is to liberate ourselves from the terrible power of the Will and from the trappings of individualism and egoism that are at its mercy. This audiobook is an expert account of Schopenhauer’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Schopenhauer’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Schopenhauer in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Is your life out of control? Do people take advantage of you? Do you have trouble saying no? Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: * Can I set limits and still be a loving person? * What are my legitimate boundaries? * How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? * Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries? Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions, showing you how to set healthy boundaries with parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even with yourself. You’ll see vital principles of boundaries at work as Drs. Cloud and Townsend take you through a day in the life of "Sherrie"--first as she lives with almost no boundaries, then as she begins to apply proper boundaries with others in her life.

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller—Jaycee Dugard’s raw and powerful memoir, her own story of being kidnapped in 1991 and held captive for more than eighteen years. In the summer of June of 1991, I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother that loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I don’t think of myself as a victim, I simply survived an intolerable situation. A Stolen Life is my story—in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it.

A Stolen Life

Se dig själv i spegeln. Vilket praktexemplar! Du är slutprodukten av 3,7 miljarder år av evolution! Men det är i och för sig daggmaskar också. Och koltrastar, blåsippor och influensaviruset. Naturens diversitet är förbluffande. Vilken skaparkraft! Hur har detta myller av olika levande organismer uppkommit? Svaret på den frågan var Charles ­Darwins stora upptäckt. Hans teori svarade inte främst på frågan om vad som hänt, utan hur det gått till. Det Darwin upptäckte var det naturliga urvalet naturens egen innovationsprocess. Men sett ur en annan synvinkel var det han upptäckte en generell beskrivning av kreativa processer. I "Kreativ med Darwin" kopplas vetenskapen om evolutionens principer samman med den mänskliga uppfinningsrikedomen. Du får en handfast och inspirerande vägledning i hur man kan använda samma dynamik som format livet på jorden för att tänka nytt, lösa problem och utveckla idéer. Oavsett om du är entreprenör, innovationsledare, konstnär, student eller bara nyfiken, bjuder boken på nya perspektiv som fungerar lika bra i ensam skaparglädje som i kreativa team. "Boken är lättläst och engagerande; naturvetenskapliga fenomen förklaras så att även ovana läsare hänger med. Snarare än en detaljerad metod erbjuder den ett övergripande tankesätt som är lätt att integrera i det egna arbetet. Den passar läsare som söker bred, praktiskt användbar inspiration för kreativa processer i vardag och yrkesliv. (...) en tillgänglig, inspirerande bok som skärper blicken för hur goda idéer kan utvecklas och väljas." BTJ, Ida Larsson

The remarkable truth about angels, the agents of Heaven, unveiled through Scripture.  For centuries, people have been fascinated by stories of angel sightings, yet many contemporary beliefs about them are based on misconception and myth rather than solid, biblical truth. Responding to our modern cultural interest in angels, popular Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah provides an in-depth, biblical look at these agents of Heaven and their role in our world and our lives. What are angels? What is their role in God's plan? Are they present? Do they appear? Do they give us personal insight about our work and our worship? In this broad and thorough survey of Scripture, Dr. Jeremiah clearly and simply separates fact from fiction as it relates to angels. His enlightening findings are supported with illustrations and insights from prominent teachers, such as Billy Graham, Corrie ten Boom, C. S. Lewis, and more.

For many years an atheist, C. S. Lewis vividly describes the spiritual quest that convinced him of the truth and reality of Christianity, in his famous autobiography. “In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God … perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.” Thus Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion. ‘Surprised by Joy’ reveals both that crisis and its momentous conclusion that would determine the shape of Lewis’s entire life.

Surprised by Joy

”Vi föddes in i det judiska, både du och jag. Du när så många judiska vägar fortfarande syntes öppna, jag när så många judiska vägar hade stängts. Du när så mycket fanns att bryta upp från och göra upp med och gjuta nytt liv i, jag när så mycket judiskt liv var förintat och frågan på allvar kunde ställas om det judiska ens var möjligt längre.” Så inleder Göran Rosenberg sin berättelse om Marcus Ehrenpreis, överrabbin i Stockholm mellan 1914 och 1948. Det är en berättelse om ofullbordade drömmar, obesvarad kärlek och förintade möjligheter Pdf på noter och källor finns att tillgå i den tryckta utgåvan.

Vid sekelskiftet 1900 var Ellen Key på allas läppar, mitt i den feministiska och pedagogiska debatten som hon stod. Hon var en stridbar person som slogs för yttrandefrihet och var en av de första i Sverige att kräva kvinnlig rösträtt. Strindberg kallade henne smädfullt Hanna Paj, men vid sidan av just Strindberg och Lagerlöf var hon en av våra mest kända författare utomlands. Hennes stora verk Barnens århundrade kom ut i ständigt nya översättningar och upplagor. Idag är hon i stort sett bortglömd. Vem var hon, vad ville hon, vad tänkte hon?Sedan sin avhandling om Ellen Keys feminism 1974 har Ronny Ambjörnsson ständigt återvänt till Ellen Key och ger i denna nyskrivna, brett anlagda idéhistoriska biografi en mer heltäckande bild av hennes inflytande på det nya århundrade hon stod inför. Men också varför hon är värd att fördjupa sig i än idag.

Nu kommer den stora biografin över en svensk kvinnolegend - Elise Ottesen-Jensen. Hon blev en mytisk centralgestalt inom sexualpolitiken, en ung norska som i kamp med fördomar, sexualskräck och diskriminerande lagar bröt nya vägar och förvandlade Sverige. Gunilla Thorgrens biografi beskriver en orättvist bortglömd person inom den svenska feminismen, men också en makalös och än i dag kontroversiell gestalt i den svenska sexualpolitiska nittonhundratalshistorien. Född i Stavanger lämnade hon tidigt det högkyrkliga hemmet, sökte sig till arbetarrörelsen och blev journalist. Hon mötte den av polisen eftersökte svenske syndikalistiske agitatorn Albert Jensen, flydde med honom till Danmark under första världskriget, utvisades till Sverige, och inledde där vid tjugotalets början arbetet med att organisera svenska kvinnor i den syndikalistiska rörelsen. Tillsammans med Moa Martinson utvecklade hon kvinnosidan i Arbetaren till ett feministiskt kamporgan. 1926 - fyrtio år gammal - påbörjade hon sitt sexualupplysningsarbete. Hon reste landet runt, agiterade för en förändrad lagstiftning, och lärde kvinnorna att använda preventivmedel. 1933 startade hon RFSU. I kampen för att ge kvinnor rätt att bestämma över sin egen kropp - rätt till preventivmedel, rätt till abort - gjorde Ottar avgörande insatser för det svenska samhällets utveckling. Otaliga människor kunde tacka henne för ett lyckligare och mindre ångestladdat sexualliv. Privat drabbades hon dock av smärtsamma katastrofer, hon mötte den stora livsavgörande kärleken, och sveks av den. Biografin avtäcker en central del av den svenska nittonhundratalshistorien.

När Elgard var fyra år gammal försvann hans mamma. Detta blev början på en livslång kamp mot sina egna skuldkänslor, men också mot den långsamt annalkande sjukdom som kom att beröva honom på många år. Schizofrenin debuterade i tidiga tonåren och har sedan dess varit en central del i författarens liv. Även om mycket i hans skildring av sin kamp är mörkt, på gränsen till nattsvart, så finns där också hopp. Hopp om förändring, utveckling och om att i slutändan förlika sig med sin situation och komma ut en bättre människa. Detta är en bok till alla som i ung ålder får diagnosen schizofreni och behöver en mjuk hand att hålla i genom sitt livs kanske mörkaste timmar hittills ... Elgard Jonsson är en svensk författare. Han skriver självbiografiskt och insiktsfullt om sina besvär med mental ohälsa.

Now a Netflix original series! Unorthodox is the bestselling memoir of a young Jewish woman’s escape from a religious sect, in the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel and Carolyn Jessop’s Escape, featuring a new epilogue by the author. As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom. Remarkable and fascinating, this “sensitive and memorable coming-of-age story” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) is one you won’t be able to put down.

Unorthodox

A deliciously witty and inspiring memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free. In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show's millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who often had to fend for herself and always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she'd been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister - a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family's Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. Family 'minders' assigned to her on set, 'Maoist struggle session'-inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counselling with 'Leadership' were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal. Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to leave and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill super-fan), she finally managed to escape the family's grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered the course of her life. Written with powerful honesty and dark humour, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity, faith and independence.

Read by the author. What you believe about God sets the foundation of the person you will become. In God Has a Name, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites you to rethink many of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what you believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person you become. We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways. God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including: Why do we feel this gap between us and God?Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him?What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires?What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God Has a Name invites you to step into a fresh and biblically rooted vision of who God is that has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.

God Has a Name

Philosophy for busy people who are always on the go but have always wanted to read up on certain figures in history that have shaped the way we think and live. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Heidegger in just one hour. One of the two major philosophical traditions of the twentieth century was linguistic analysis, derived largely from Wittgenstein. The other, diametrically opposed, came from Heidegger, and its fundamental question was: ‘What is the meaning of existence?’ For Heidegger, this was not a query that could simply be ‘analysed away’ – it was beyond the reach of logic or reason. This was the primary ‘given’ of every individual life. To confront it, Heidegger needed to develop an entirely new form of philosophy. Here is a concise, expert account of Heidegger’s life and philosophical ideas that is entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Heidegger’s work, suggested further reading and chronologies that place Heidegger in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Heidegger: Philosophy in an Hour

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Locke in just one hour. Much of Locke’s thought we would now regard as common sense. One of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers; his philosophy was to lay the foundations of empiricism with its belief that our knowledge of the world is based on experience. Locke’s work introduced the idea of liberal democracy – a concept that has become the shibboleth of Western civilisation. People who can’t even spell philosophy are now likely to accept these ideas; just over three centuries ago they were incomprehensible. This is an audiobook that depicts Locke’s life and his philosophical ideas. It’s entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Locke’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Locke in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Locke: Philosophy in an Hour

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Who better to face the greatest evil of the 20th century than a humble man of faith? As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life--the theologian and the spy--and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. In Bonhoeffer, Metaxas presents the fullest account of Bonhoeffer's life, including his: heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler's Germanyinvolvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerlandlifelong dedication to sharing the tenets of his faith This edition, revised and with a new introduction from the author, shares the deeply moving story through previously unavailable documents, including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts to reveal never-before-seen dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and work. Praise for Bonhoeffer: "Metaxas has created a biography of uncommon power--intelligent, moving, well researched, vividly written, and rich in implication for our own lives. Or to put it another way: Buy this book. Read it. Then buy another copy and give it to a person you love. It's that good." --Archbishop Charles Chaput, author, First Things "Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication." —Wall Street Journal "Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word." --Christianity Today "Metaxas has written a book that adds a new dimension to World War II, a new understanding of how evil can seize the soul of a nation and a man of faith can confront it." --Thomas Fleming, author, The New Dealers’ War

He helped save people every day—but he had no idea how to save himself. Jason Sautel had it all. Confident in his abilities and trusted by his fellow firefighters, he was making a name for himself on the streets of Oakland, California. His adrenaline-fueled job even helped him forget the pain of his childhood—until the day he looked into the eyes of a jumper on the Bay Bridge and came face to face with a darkness he knew would take him down as well. In the following months, a series of traumatic emergency calls—some successful, others impossible-to-forget failures—drove Jason deeper into depression. Even as he continued his lifesaving work, he realized he could never rescue everyone, and he had no idea how to save himself. In the end, Jason was forced to confront the truth: only the relentless power of love could pull him back from his own deadly fall. Action-packed, spiritually honest, and surprisingly romantic, The Rescuer transports listeners inside the pulse-pounding world of firefighting and into the heart of a man who needed to be broken before he could finally be made whole.

The Rescuer

Kraven på allmän rösträtt växer under 1900-talets början. Motståndet är stort, men 1921 kan kvinnor för första gången rösta och röstas in till riksdagen. Fem kvinnliga ledamöter blir invalda. Högerpolitikern och sjuksköterskan Bertha Wellin (1870 1951) är en av dem. Hon har inte deltagit i rösträttskampen och hon fortsätter att ta avstånd från kvinnorörelsen. Men hon är också radikal. Hon är med och grundar Stockholms moderata kvinnoförbund och Svensk sjuksköterskeförening. Hon vill att sjuksköterskor ska sluta niga och föreslår särbeskattning ett halvt sekel innan det genomförs. Bertha Wellin bryter mot sin tids normer. Det är inte bara hur hon talar, beter sig och ser ut hon har också en livslång relation med en annan kvinna. Journalisten Sara Heyman har tecknat en inlevelsefull biografi över den fascinerande och motsägelsefulla Bertha Wellin och hennes tid. Sara Heyman (f. 1981) är journalist och legitimerad sjuksköterska. Hon har tidigare skrivit boken "Sjukt, syster! Kärlek och uppror i svensk sjukvård" (Verbal, 2018).

Den motvilliga feministen : En biografi om

From the Number One bestselling author, a memoir full of hilarious, personal and surprising stories from their working life in the law. * The Sunday Times Bestseller * * A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week* ‘The SB is a gifted writer. Words tumble out with extraordinary fluency . . . entertaining and instructive’ – The Times __________ Just how do you become a barrister? Why do only 1 per cent of those who study law succeed in joining this mysteriously opaque profession? And why might a practising barrister come to feel the need to reveal the lies, secrets, failures and crises at the heart of this world of wigs and gowns? Nothing But The Truth is The Secret Barrister's bestselling memoir. It charts an outsider’s progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar, taking in the sometimes absurd traditions of the Inns of Court, where every meal mandates a glass of port and a toast to the monarch, to the Hunger Games-style contest for pupillage, through the endlessly frustrating experience of being a junior barrister – as a creaking, ailing justice system begins to convince them that something has to change . . . Full of hilarious, shocking and surprising stories, Nothing But The Truth tracks the Secret Barrister’s transformation from hang ‘em and flog ‘em, austerity-supporting twenty-something to campaigning, bestselling, reforming author whose writing in defence of the law is celebrated around the globe. With a keen eye for the absurd and an obsessive fondness for Twitter, SB reveals the uncomfortable truths and darkest secrets about life in our criminal courts. __________ ‘With compassion, wit and intelligence, The Secret Barrister shows why is it that any of us plunge into the harrowing depths of criminal law’ – TLS ‘Masterful, compassionate and hilarious’ – Adam Rutherford ‘The Zorro of the criminal bar’ – The Times

Nothing But The Truth

God has always been interested in turning unlikely people into his most fervent followers. Prostitutes and pagans, tax collectors and tricksters. The more unlikely, the more it seemed to please God and to demonstrate his power, might, and mercy. America in the 1960s and 1970s was full of unlikely people--men and women who had rejected the stuffy religion of their parents' generation, who didn't follow the rules, didn't fit in. The perfect setting for the greatest spiritual awakening of the 20th century. With passion and purpose, Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn tell the amazing true story of the Jesus Movement, an extraordinary time of mass revival, renewal, and reconciliation. Setting fascinating personal stories within the context of one of the most tumultuous times in modern history, the authors draw important parallels with our own time of spiritual apathy or outright hostility, offering hope for the next generation of unlikely believers--and for the next great American revival. Those who lived through the Jesus Revolution will find here an inspiring reminder of the times and people that shaped their lives and faith. Younger readers will discover a forgotten part of recent American history and, along with it, a reason to believe that God is not finished with their generation.

Jesus Revolution

The Gallup Poll reports that 1 in 25 people has had a near-death experience. Their heart stopped beating, their brain waves ceased, yet they claim they were more alive than ever. With improved medical resuscitation, more and more verifiable evidence indicates that life doesn't end with our last breath—it's just beginning. Drawing out the similarities found by studying over 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences around the globe, John Burke unfolds a compelling and comforting vision of a world where we are free from pain; we feel fully known and accepted; we are greeted by loved ones; we encounter indescribable beauty; and we discover a God of unconditional love. If you've lost a loved one, if you've received a frightening diagnosis, or if you're just curious about what happens after death, this concise look at the life to come will bring you hope and reassurance. Content derived from the New York Times bestseller Imagine Heaven.

What's after Life?

We've all been there: stuck in a cycle of what-ifs, plagued by indecision, paralyzed by the fear of getting it wrong. Nobody wants to live a life of constant overthinking, but it doesn't feel like something we can choose to stop doing. It feels like something we're wired to do, something we just can't escape. But is it? Anne Bogel's answer is no. Not only can you overcome negative thought patterns that are repetitive, unhealthy, and unhelpful, you can replace them with positive thought patterns that will bring more peace, joy, and love into your life. In Don't Overthink It, you'll find actionable strategies that can make an immediate and lasting difference in how you deal with questions both small—Should I buy these flowers?—and large—What am I doing with my life? More than a book about making good decisions, Don't Overthink It offers you a framework for making choices you'll be comfortable with, using an appropriate amount of energy, freeing you to focus on all the other stuff that matters in life.
