We've all been there - the family dinners turned full-fledged
political debates, the awkward chat in the kitchen at work, the
difficulty of discussing politics on a first date or even at dinner
with a long-time partner. Today's divisive climate - and the
seemingly neverending circus of Brexit - has made discussion of
current events uncomfortable and often uncivil. So, how exactly do
we find ways to reach across the aisle to those whose views we find
unpalatable? Psychotherapist and lifetime liberal Jeanne Safer
hopes to shed some light on the situation. Combining her
professional expertise with personal experience gleaned from over
forty years of happy marriage to her stalwart conservative husband
Richard Brookhiser, as well as a wealth of interviews with
politically mixed couples, Safer offers frank advice for salvaging
and strengthening relationships strained by political differences.
Part relationship guide, part anthropological study, I Love You,
But I Hate Your Politics is a helpful and entertaining how-to for
anyone who has felt they are walking on eggshells in these
increasingly uncertain times.

Expert organizer and "New York Times" bestselling author Julie
Morgenstern teaches you how to get rid of the physical, mental, and
time clutter that's keeping you from the life you want.
Julie Morgenstern has made a career out of helping her clients get
organized. But in the process, she discovered something surprising:
for many of her clients, organizing isn't enough. For those who are
eager to make a change in their lives--a new job, a new
relationship, a new stage in life--they need to get rid of the old
before they can organize the new. They need to SHED their stuff
before they can change their lives So Julie created the SHED
process--a four-step plan to get rid of the physical, mental, and
schedule clutter that holds back so many of us. But SHEDing isn't
just about throwing things away Julie teaches that its just as
important to focus on what comes before and after you heave the
clutter, so that the changes you make really stick in the long
term. Learn about:
- Separating the treasures (figuring out what really matters)
- Heaving the rest (undertaking the tough work of eliminating
excess)
- Embracing your true identity (figuring out who you really want to
be)
- Driving yourself forward (achieving real change now that the past
isn't holding you back any longer)
Whether you're facing a move, a promotion, an empty nest, a
marriage, divorce, or retirement, "SHED Your Stuff, Change Your
Life" provides a practical, transformative plan for positively
managing change in every aspect of your life.
In the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us about the 'wild woman', the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power.
For centuries, the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions. Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework, Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy, passionate and wise.
Thoughtfully written and compelling in its arguments, Women Who Run With The Wolves gives readers a new sense of direction, a self confidence and purpose in their lives.
