Overworked and Undervalued: Black Women and Successin America is a
collection of essays written by Black female scholars, educators,
and students as well as public policy, behavioral, and mental
health professionals. The contributors' share their experiences and
frustrations with White America which continues to demand excessive
labor and one-sided relationships of Black women while it
simultaneously diminishes them. The book describes the ongoing
struggle for women of color in general, but Black women in
particular, which derives from the experience that only certain
parts of our identities are deemed acceptable. The essays reflect
on the events of the last few years and the toll the related stress
has taken on each author. As a whole, the book offers its readers
an opportunity to gain insight into these women's experiences and
to find their place in supporting the Black women in their lives.
'Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be
human.' - Elizabeth Day To fix a machine, first you need to find
out what's wrong with it. To fix unhappiness, you need to find out
what causes it. That Little Voice in Your Head is the practical
guide to retraining your brain for optimal joy by Mo Gawdat, the
internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Mo reveals
how by beating negative self-talk, we can change our thought
processes, turning our greed into generosity, our apathy into
compassion and investing in our own happiness. This book provides
readers with exercises to help reshape their mental processes.
Drawing on his expertise in programming and his knowledge of
neuroscience, Mo explains how - despite their incredible complexity
- our brains behave in ways that are largely predictable. From
these insights, he delivers this user manual for happiness.
Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo Gawdat has set out to
share a model for happiness based on generosity and empathy towards
ourselves and others. Using his experience as a former Google
engineer and Chief Business Officer, Mo shares his 'code' for
reprogramming our brain and moving away from the misconceptions
modern life gives us.
