＜p＞There are some things we just don't talk about.Things like sex, particularly when our sexuality is a matter of personal struggle.Things like the vulnerabilities of our pastors, who must maintain a fa?ade not merely of respectability but of moral and psychological superiority.We don't talk about things that make us feel insecure, that make us feel unsettled. But the nature of spiritual growth, even the story of Christian faith, is a matter of being unsettled from the comfortable compromises we've made and set on a course together toward wholeness and mutually supportive community.Pastor T. C. Ryan takes us on an unsettling journey through his lifelong struggle with sexual addiction, one that predated and pervaded his pastoral ministryーone which for far too long he faced in secrecy and isolation, separated from the brothers and sisters in Christ who were called to bear one another's burdens. ＜em＞Ashamed No More＜/em＞ doesn't cast blame or argue for looser moral standards. It does, however, call us to the unsettling ministry that a God who is love calls us toーthe unsettling grace that is the audacious gospel of Christ.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sham How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless【電子書籍】[ Steve Salerno ]

＜p＞Self-help: To millions of Americans it seems like a godsend. To many others it seems like a joke. But as investigative reporter Steve Salerno reveals in this groundbreaking book, it’s neitherーin fact it’s much worse than a joke. Going deep inside the Self-Help and Actualization Movement (fittingly, the words form the acronym SHAM), Salerno offers the first serious expos? of this multibillion-dollar industry and the real damage it is doingーnot just to its paying customers, but to all of American society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on the author’s extensive reportingーand the inside look at the industry he got while working at a leading “lifestyle” publisherー＜em＞SHAM＜/em＞ shows how thinly credentialed “experts” now dispense advice on everything from mental health to relationships to diet to personal finance to business strategy. Americans spend upward of $8 billion every year on self-help programs and products. And those staggering financial costs are actually the least of our worries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞SHAM＜/em＞ demonstrates how the self-help movement’s core philosophies have infected virtually every aspect of American lifeーthe home, the workplace, the schools, and more. And Salerno exposes the downside of being uplifted, showing how the “empowering” message that dominates self-help today proves just as damaging as the blame-shifting rhetoric of self-help’s “Recovery” movement.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞SHAM＜/em＞ also reveals:＜/p＞ ＜p＞? How self-help gurus conduct extensive market research to reach the same customers over and overーwithout ever helping them＜/p＞ ＜p＞? The inside story on the most notorious gurusーfrom Dr. Phil to Dr. Laura, from Tony Robbins to John Gray＜/p＞ ＜p＞? How your company might be wasting money on motivational speakers, “executive coaches,” and other quick fixes that often hurt quality, productivity, and morale＜/p＞ ＜p＞? How the Recovery movement has eradicated notions of personal responsibility by labeling just about anythingーfrom drug abuse to “sex addiction” to shopliftingーa dysfunction or disease＜/p＞ ＜p＞? How Americans blindly accept that twelve-step programs offer the only hope of treating addiction, when in fact these programs can do more harm than good＜/p＞ ＜p＞? How the self-help movement inspired the disastrous emphasis on self-esteem in our schools＜/p＞ ＜p＞? How self-help rhetoric has pushed people away from proven medical treatments by persuading them that they can cure themselves through sheer application of will＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Salerno shows, to describe self-help as a waste of time and money vastly understates its collateral damage. And with ＜em＞SHAM＜/em＞, the self-help industry has finally been called to account for the damage it has done.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Also available as an eBook＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】King Richard Nixon and Watergate--An American Tragedy【電子書籍】[ Michael Dobbs ]

＜p＞＜strong＞ONE OF ＜em＞USA TODAY＜/em＞'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR ? A riveting account of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a presidentーfrom the best-selling author of ＜em＞One Minute to Midnight.＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. He enjoyed an almost 70 percent approval rating. But by April 1973, his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasized into what White House counsel John Dean called “a full-blown cancer.” ＜em＞King Richard＜/em＞ is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate conspiracy unraveled as the burglars and their handlers turned on one another, exposing the crimes of a vengeful president.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on thousands of hours of newly-released taped recordings, Michael Dobbs takes us into the heart of the conspiracy, recreating these traumatic events in cinematic detail. He captures the growing paranoia of the principal players and their desperate attempts to deflect blame as the noose tightens around them. We eavesdrop on Nixon plotting with his aides, raging at his enemies, while also finding time for affectionate moments with his family. The result is an unprecedentedly vivid, close-up portrait of a president facing his greatest crisis.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Central to the spellbinding drama is the tortured personality of Nixon himself, a man whose strengths, particularly his determination to win at all costs, become his fatal flaws. Rising from poverty to become the most powerful man in the world, he commits terrible errors of judgment that lead to his public disgrace. He makes himselfーand then destroys himself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Structured like a classical tragedy with a uniquely American twist, ＜em＞King Richard＜/em＞ is an epic, deeply human story of ambition, power, and betrayal.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】American Massacre The Tragedy at Mountain Meadows, September 1857【電子書籍】[ Sally Denton ]

＜p＞In September 1857, a wagon train passing through Utah laden with gold was attacked. Approximately 140 people were slaughtered; only 17 children under the age of eight were spared. This incident in an open field called Mountain Meadows has ever since been the focus of passionate debate: Is it possible that official Mormon dignitaries were responsible for the massacre? In her riveting book, Sally Denton makes a fiercely convincing argument that they were.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author?herself of Mormon descent?first traces the extraordinary emergence of the Mormons and the little-known nineteenth-century intrigues and tensions between their leaders and the U.S. government, fueled by the Mormons’ zealotry and exclusionary practices. We see how by 1857 they were unique as a religious group in ruling an entire American territory, Utah, and commanding their own exclusive government and army.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Denton makes clear that in the immediate aftermath of the massacre, the church began placing the blame on a discredited Mormon, John D. Lee, and on various Native Americans. She cites contemporaneous records and newly discovered documents to support her argument that, in fact, the Mormon leader, Brigham Young, bore significant responsibility?that Young, impelled by the church’s financial crises, facing increasingly intense scrutiny and condemnation by the federal government, incited the crime by both word and deed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, Denton explains how the rapidly expanding and enormously rich Mormon church of today still struggles to absolve itself of responsibility for what may well be an act of religious fanaticism unparalleled in the annals of American history. ＜strong＞American Massacre＜/strong＞ is totally absorbing in its narrative as it brings to life a tragic moment in our history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Mental Clarity in a Noisy Digital World【電子書籍】[ S. R. Patwa ]

＜p＞In today's world, the mind is under constant siege. Alerts, notifications, headlines, and endless streams of information pull attention in every direction, leaving little room for reflection, focus, or calm. ＜em＞Mental Clarity in a Noisy Digital World＜/em＞ offers a thoughtful exploration of this modern challenge, not as a manual for productivity, but as a guide to understanding how our environment shapes thought, emotion, and attention.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book invites readers to step back from the relentless pace of contemporary life and examine the quiet crises beneath it. Through a reflective lens, it explains how digital noise subtly rewires the mind, fragments attention, and erodes emotional balance. You will discover why multitasking rarely produces efficiency, how constant stimulation diminishes memory and focus, and why inner calm has become increasingly difficult to sustain. The emphasis is not on blame or quick fixes but on awarenessーrecognizing the forces that shape mental life so clarity can emerge naturally.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Across nine thoughtfully structured chapters, the book blends insights from psychology, neuroscience, and ancient Indian wisdom, showing that attention is not merely a cognitive skill but a moral and ethical choice. Readers are guided gently to see attention as a finite resource, understand the hidden cost of distractions, and reclaim space for intentional thought. Practical guidance is interwoven with reflective depth: creating boundaries for reactive attention, cultivating stillness, and observing the mind without pressure. Each practice is designed to nurture clarity while respecting the complexities of modern life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Subtle intellectual bridges connect this inquiry to earlier works: the continuity of traditional knowledge explored in ＜em＞From Vedas to Villages: The Continuum of Indian Traditional Medicine＜/em＞, and the challenges of modern disconnection addressed in ＜em＞The Lost Art of Natural Healing＜/em＞. These references enrich the discussion, inviting curiosity without promotion, encouraging readers to explore how balance, rhythm, and attention have been understood across time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Mental Clarity in a Noisy Digital World＜/em＞ is for anyone who seeks steadiness amidst distraction, reflection amidst noise, and meaning amidst the unceasing demands of technology. It is a companion for those who wish to cultivate awareness, reclaim focus, and live with greater intentionality. More than a self-help guide, it is a reflective exploration of how clarity can be nurtured in life's busiest moments, offering tools, perspectives, and insights to foster a mind that is calm, attentive, and fully present.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Killing of Crazy Horse【電子書籍】[ Thomas Powers ]

＜p＞He was the greatest Indian warrior of the nineteenth century. His victory over General Custer at the battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 was the worst defeat inflicted on the frontier Army. And the death of Crazy Horse in federal custody has remained a controversy for more than a century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Killing of Crazy Horse＜/em＞ pieces together the many sources of fear and misunderstanding that resulted in an official killing hard to distinguish from a crime. A rich cast of characters, whites and Indians alike, passes through this story, including Red Cloud, the chief who dominated Oglala history for fifty years but saw in Crazy Horse a dangerous rival; No Water and Woman Dress, both of whom hated Crazy Horse and schemed against him; the young interpreter Billy Garnett, son of a fifteen-year-old Oglala woman and a Confederate general killed at Gettysburg; General George Crook, who bitterly resented newspaper reports that he had been whipped by Crazy Horse in battle; Little Big Man, who betrayed Crazy Horse; Lieutenant William Philo Clark, the smart West Point graduate who thought he could “work” Indians to do the Army’s bidding; and Fast Thunder, who called Crazy Horse cousin, held him the moment he was stabbed, and then told his grandson thirty years later, “They tricked me! They tricked me!”＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the center of the story is Crazy Horse himself, the warrior of few words whom the Crow said they knew best among the Sioux, because he always came closest to them in battle. No photograph of him exists today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The death of Crazy Horse was a traumatic event not only in Sioux but also in American history. With the Great Sioux War as background and context, drawing on many new materials as well as documents in libraries and archives, Thomas Powers recounts the final months and days of Crazy Horse’s life not to lay blame but to establish what happened.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The classic work that refutes the lies we tell ourselves about race, poverty and the poor.＜br /＞ Here are three myths about poverty in America:＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Minority children perform poorly in school because they are “culturally deprived.”＜br /＞ ? African-Americans are handicapped by a family structure that is typically unstable and matriarchal.＜br /＞ ? Poor people suffer from bad health because of ignorance and lack of interest in proper health care.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Blaming the Victim＜/strong＞ was the first book to identify these truisms as part of the system of denial that even the best-intentioned Americans have constructed around the unpalatable realities of race and class. Originally published in 1970, William Ryan's groundbreaking and exhaustively researched work challenges both liberal and conservative assumptions, serving up a devastating critique of the mindset that causes us to blame the poor for their poverty and the powerless for their powerlessness. More than twenty years later, it is even more meaningful for its diagnosis of the psychic underpinnings of racial and social injustice.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

To keep up the fa?ade of an active social life and hide the painful truth, that she was suffering from severe loneliness, the successful young lawyer often lied to those around her ー and to herself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this insightful, soul-baring, and illuminating memoir, White chronicles her battle to understand and overcome this debilitating condition, and contends that chronic loneliness deserves the same attention as other mental difficulties, such as depression. "Right now, loneliness is something few people are willing to admit to," she writes. "There's no need for this silence, no need for the shame and self-blame it creates."＜/p＞ ＜p＞By investigating the science of loneliness, challenging its stigma, encouraging other lonely people to talk about their struggles, and defining one person's experience, ＜strong＞Lonely＜/strong＞ redefines how we look at loneliness and helps those afflicted see and understand their mood in an entirely new light, ultimately providing solace and hope.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Like, Literally, Dude Arguing for the Good in Bad English【電子書籍】[ Valerie Fridland ]

＜p＞**"With easygoing authority... [Fridland] offers context, and a welcoming spirit, to the many contentious realignments in our language."＜em＞ーThe Wall Street Journal＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Smart and funnyーI loved it!" ーMignon Fogarty, author of ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestseller ＜em＞Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A lively linguistic exploration of the speech habits we love to hateーand why our “like”s and “literally”s actually make us better communicators**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Paranoid about the “ums” and “uhs” that pepper your presentations? Concerned that people notice your vocal fry? Bewildered by “hella” or the meteoric rise of “so”? What if these features of our speech weren’t a sign of cultural and linguistic degeneration, but rather, some of the most dynamic and revolutionary tools at our disposal?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Like, Literally, Dude＜/em＞, linguist Valerie Fridland shows how we can re-imagine these forms as exciting new linguistic frontiers rather than our culture’s impending demise. With delightful irreverence and expertise built over two decades of research, Fridland weaves together history, psychology, science, and laugh-out-loud anecdotes to explain why we speak the way we do today, and how that impacts what our kids may be saying tomorrow. She teaches us that language is both function and fashion, and that though we often blame the young, the female, and the uneducated for its downfall, we should actually thank them for their linguistic ingenuity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By exploring the dark corners every English teacher has taught us to avoid, ＜em＞Like, Literally, Dude＜/em＞ redeems our most pilloried linguistic quirks, arguing that they are fundamental to our social, professional, and romantic successーperhaps even more so than our clothing or our resumes. It explains how filled pauses benefit both speakers and listeners; how the use of “dude” can help people bond across social divides; why we’re always trying to make our intensifiers ever more intense; as well as many other language tics, habits, and developments.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Language change is natural, built into the language system itself, and we wouldn’t be who we are without it. ＜em＞Like, Literally, Dude＜/em＞ celebrates the dynamic, ongoing, and empowering evolution of language, and it will speak to anyone who talks, or listens, inspiring them to communicate dynamically and effectively in their daily lives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Love them or hate them, they’re the most successful team in professional hockey … just not on the scoresheet.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Toronto Maple Leafs are an exception to every law of the sporting jungle. They miss the playoffs and the sellouts keep coming.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Right to Exist A Moral Defense of Israel's Wars【電子書籍】[ Yaacov Lozowick ]

＜p＞In July 2000, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat refused to negotiate a peace offer made by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak at Camp David. At the end of September the Palestinians then launched their second ＜em＞intifada＜/em＞, an outbreak of terrorism in the heart of Israel’s cities that continues to this day. The unprecedented violence drove Barak from office and brought to power the feared hard-liner Ariel Sharon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In RIGHT TO EXIST, Yaacov Lozowick, an Israeli historian, describes his evolution from a liberal peace activist into a reluctant supporter of Sharon. In making sense of his own political journey, Lozowick rewrites the whole history of Israel, delving into the roots of the Zionist enterprise and tracing the long struggle to establish and defend the Jewish state in the face of implacable Arab resistance and widespread international hostility.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lozowick examines each of Israel’s wars from the perspective of classical “just war” theory, from the fight for independence to the present day. Subjecting the country’s founders and their descendants to unsparing scrutiny, he concludes that Israel is neither the pristine socialist utopia its founders envisioned, nor the racist colonial enterprise portrayed by its enemies. Refuting dozens of pernicious myths about the conflictーsuch as the charge that Israel stole the land from its rightful owners, or that Arabs and Jews are locked in a “cycle of violence” for which both bear equal blameーRIGHT TO EXIST is an impassioned moral history of extraordinary resonance and power.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Aftershock The Next Economy and America's Future【電子書籍】[ Robert B. Reich ]

＜p＞A brilliant new reading of the economic crisisーand a plan for dealing with the challenge of its aftermathーby one of our most trenchant and informed experts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When the nation’s economy foundered in 2008, blame was directed almost universally at Wall Street. But Robert B. Reich suggests a different reason for the meltdown, and for a perilous road ahead. He argues that the real problem is structural: it lies in the increasing concentration of income and wealth at the top, and in a middle class that has had to go deeply into debt to maintain a decent standard of living.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Persuasively and straightforwardly, Reich reveals how precarious our situation still is. The last time in American history when wealth was so highly concentrated at the topーindeed, when the top 1 percent of the population was paid 23 percent of the nation’s incomeーwas in 1928, just before the Great Depression. Such a disparity leads to ever greater booms followed by ever deeper busts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reich’s thoughtful and detailed account of where we are headed over the next decades reveals the essential truth about our economy that is driving our politics and shaping our future. With keen insight, he shows us how the middle class lacks enough purchasing power to buy what the economy can produce and has adopted coping mechanisms that have a negative impact on their quality of life; how the rich use their increasing wealth to speculate; and how an angrier politics emerges as more Americans conclude that the game is rigged for the benefit of a few. Unless this trend is reversed, the Great Recession will only be repeated.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reich’s assessment of what must be done to reverse course and ensure that prosperity is widely shared represents the path to a necessary and long-overdue transformation. ＜em＞Aftershock＜/em＞ is a practical, humane, and much-needed blueprint for both restoring America’s economy and rebuilding our society.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Written by one of the world’s leading authorities on the link between obesity and diabetes, this passionate, frightening?but ultimately hopeful?book points the way to a solution.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To enter Dr. Francine Kaufman’s clinic is to see the future of America: a 220-pound twelve-year-old boy…a 267-pound thirteen-year-old girl…their concerned but equally overweight parents…the human faces and human suffering behind the epidemic of type 2 diabetes that threatens to overwhelm our health care system. Once a disease of the elderly, type 2 diabetes now strikes adults in their prime?and, increasingly, children. It has nearly doubled in the last decade. The cause? Our soaring rates of obesity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Diabesity takes us to the front lines of the fight against this preventable but deadly disease. Through vivid patient stories, it explains how excess weight destroys the body’s ability to process sugar properly?with life-threatening consequences. It shows what happens when the genes that evolved to protect us from famine collide with a sedentary lifestyle that has put bacon cheeseburgers on every corner. And it demonstrates why our usual blame-the-victim response is futile in face of the complex, worldwide forces behind this epidemic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Detailing the tools for change at every level?from families to school systems to government?and reporting on innovative programs that are already making a difference, Diabesity offers a compelling action plan for winning this battle.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
