At the heart of humanity is connection. We are not
separate. We know this from the most established of
scientific theories (quantum mechanics and sh*t) to the
most “woo-woo” of spiritual philosophies (apparently,
everything is energy). But we don‟t always believe it, and
we certainly don‟t always practice it. In fact, we often
practice the opposite: disconnection and domination.
Why do we assimilate into dominant culture when we yearn
to be uniquely ourselves? Why do we relentlessly compare
ourselves to others when it makes us miserable? How do we
counter oppression without canceling the other (whomever
that other may be)? Why are we lonely in a world full of
people?
As Sebene shows us in YOU BELONG, accepting our
connectedness to one another is the surest way to
accepting ourselves. It‟s also the key to facing the many
challenges currently impacting our world. Full of practical
wisdom and profound revelations, this profound book
makes a winning case for resisting the forces that demand
separation and reclaiming the connection—and
belonging—that have been ours all along.
Sebene Selassie has studied Buddhism for over 30 years and
received a BA from McGill University in Religious and
Women‟s Studies and an MA from the New School
where she focused on cultural studies and race. For over 20
years Sebene worked with children, youth, and families na-
tionally and internationally for small and large not for profits.
Her work has taken her everywhere from the Tenderloin in
San Francisco to refugee camps in Guinea, West Africa. She
has been teaching meditation workshops, courses and re-
treats for over a decade and is a popular teacher on
the Ten Percent Happier app. She is proud to have served
on the boards of New York Insight Meditation Center,
the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, and Sacred Mountain
Sangha. Sebene lives on unceded Lenape Territory in Brook-
lyn, NY with her partner and their dog.

“What does it mean to be a „good‟ parent in an age of
over-parenting? And why do so many of us assume if we
just do everything „right,‟ we can make the „perfect,‟
baby? With immense tenderness, intelligence, and humor,
Heather Lanier explores these questions. The result is an
arresting and beautiful book about the transformative
power of unconditional love. Everyone should read it.”
—Kim Brooks, author of Small Animals
Award-winning writer Heather Lanier's memoir about
raising a child with a rare syndrome, defying the tyranny of
normal, and embracing parenthood as a spiritual practice
that breaks us open in the best of ways.
Like many women of her generation, Heather Lanier did
everything by the book when she was expecting her first
child. She ate organic foods, recited affirmations, and
drew up a birth plan for an unmedicated labor in the
hopes that she could create a SuperBaby, an ultra-healthy
human destined for a high-achieving future.
But her daughter Fiona challenged all of Lanier's
preconceptions. Born with an ultra-rare syndrome known
as Wolf-Hirschhorn, Fiona received a daunting prognosis:
she would experience significant developmental delays
and might not reach her second birthday. Not only had
Lanier failed to produce a SuperBaby, she now fiercely
loved a child that the world would sometimes reject. The
diagnosis obliterated Lanier's perfectionist tendencies,
along with her most closely held beliefs about certainty,
vulnerability, God, and love.
Loving Fiona opens Lanier up to new understandings of
what it means to be human, what it takes to be a mother,
and above all, the aching joy and wonder that come from
embracing the unique life of her rare girl.
Heather Lanier is an essayist, memoirist, and poet. Her
nonfiction has appeared in Salon, The Southern Review,
The Threepenny Review, Fourth Genre, Brevity, Vela, and
elsewhere. She has received an Ohio Arts Council
Individual Excellence Award and a Vermont Creation
Grant. A graduate of Ohio State University's MFA program,
she's now an Assistant Professor of Creative Nonfiction at
Rowan University. Her TED talk, "'Good' and 'Bad' Are
Incomplete Stories We Tell Ourselves," has been viewed
over two million times.

What if finding inspiration was merely a matter of gazing
through a different lens or trying out a different
tool? Kickstart Creativity is a deck of 50 cards--each with a
creative exercise--designed to prompt unexpected con-
nections and liberated ways of thinking.
At the start of a personal challenge or work project, draw
three cards from this deck and reflect on how the random
spread relates to your current situation. Choose
an action card to learn a new skill, a perspective card to
see the world through a different lens, and
an intention card to influence more meaningful and mind-
ful choices.
Kickstart Creativity can be used by individuals or by groups
of teachers, students, co-workers, and other creative col-
laborators to shake up stymied ways of thinking. With in-
sight from creative rule-breakers and cultural philosophies
from bygone eras, Kickstart Creativity will shift your atten-
tion away from the pressure of productivity and toward the
path to creative freedom.

How can you raise your own children to be good with
money, when you're only just figuring it out for yourself? And
will they even listen? These questions haunt new parents as
they navigate the murky waters of teaching their kids about
money. Doug Nordman has been writing about personal
finance since he retired from the Navy almost two decades
ago. Now he has teamed up with his adult daughter, Carol
Pittner, to explain just how he and his wife raised her to be
"good with money."
Discussing several financial experiments that they tried at
different ages, both Doug and Carol share their experience
of what worked, what didn't, and what blew up in their
face. Raising A Money-Savvy Family For Next-Generation
Financial Independence provides actionable information
for new parents to use as their child grows and information
they can use to make sure they don't lose sight of their own
financial security too.
Doug Nordman retired at age 41 after 20 years with the U.S.
Navy‟s submarine force, and today is an enthusiastic surfer,
an omnivorous reader, a martial arts student, and a veteran
of many chaotic home-improvement projects. With his re-
tired Navy Reserve spouse, they raised their daughter, Carol
Pittner, in Hawaii.

“A revolutionary book on stock investing (and good
finance in general.”
—Peter Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache)
“Every investor should read this book and absorb its
wisdom.”
—Jesse Mecham, founder and CEO, You Need a Budget
Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for
navigating this complex world we‟ve created,
understanding it is critical. Unfortunately, benign neglect of
things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the
financial world. These people make investing endlessly
complex because if it can be ma de complex it becomes
more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we
are forced into their waiting arms.
Here‟s an important truth: Complex investments exist only
to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they
more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The
approach created by Collins and presented in The Simple
Path to Wealth is not only easy to understand and
implement, it is more powerful than any other.
The Simple Path to Wealth covers:
Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you
have it
How to think about money, and the unique way
understanding this is key to building your wealth
What the stock market really is and how it really works
Why the stock market always goes up and why most
people still lose money investing in it
How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market
What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend
your wealth
What financial independence looks like and how to
have your money support you
JL Collins, blogger at jlcollinsnh.com, is the author of the
hugely influential “Stock Series” (nearly 2 million page views
per year), a veritable Bible for the financial independence
and retire early (FIRE) community and anyone interested in
creating and maintaining wealth simply, easily, and
effectively.

personal stories that illuminate his exciting and evolving
p h i l o s o p h y o f m e d i c i n e a n d h e a l i n g . ”
—Andrew Weil, MD, bestselling author of Spontaneous
Healing
Western medicine has not been particularly successful at
getting people relief from conditions like depression,
chronic pain, migraine headaches, addiction, and PTSD. Dr.
Tafur helps us to understand why.
People spend years in frustration and thousands of dollars
consulting an army of specialists, without getting real relief
from their problem—because these and others are diseases
deeply connected with the state of our emotional bodies.
Too often, the Western medical approach fails to address
the emotional dimension of illness. This is where traditional
plant medicines, with their ability to alter consciousness and
open channels of communication to our emotions, offer so
much promise.
Follow Dr. Tafur through the Amazon jungle as he develops
a breakthrough understanding of how psychoactive plants
interact with the complex network connecting our minds
and hearts to our physical anatomy. What is presented here
is nothing short of a paradigm shift for modern medicine,
where sacred plants, used properly in ceremony, take their
place as important tools in the doctor‟s medicine chest,
offering the missing elements of emotional and spiritual
healing that have eluded us for so long.
