"She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around." "My kid has turned into such a slacker!" Over the course of her 25-year career, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten has begun to notice a trend. More and more parents are coming to her because their kids couldn't care less about anything. How do bright, motivated young children become such unmotivated older kids and teens--and what can parents do about it? In this warm and encouraging guide, Dr. Braaten explains that kids who have lost the will to do anything (other than play video games) need more than simple encouragement or the "right" school, teacher, or coach to get back on track. Instead, Dr. Braaten helps parents understand the myriad biological, emotional, cognitive, and social factors that affect motivation--and build a plan to boost their child's confidence, incentive to learn, and engagement in life"--

In Feminism is Queer, Mimi Marinucci provides a valuable introduction to the intimately related disciplines of gender and queer theory, and develops the innovative concept of queer feminism, which treats queer theory as being continuous with feminist theory. While there were significant conceptual tensions between second-wave feminism and traditional lesbian and gay studies, queer feminism offers a paradigm for understanding gender, sex and sexuality that overcomes this conflict in order to foster solidarity between those campaigning for women's rights and those for LGBTQ rights. This updated and expanded edition engages with the latest developments in feminism and queer theory, including the new forms of both feminism and 'antifeminism' which have developed within online communities, the growing prominence of trans experiences in popular media, and the relevancy of queer feminism to a new generation of feminist activists. Feminism is Queer remains the indispensable guide for anyone with an interest in gender, sexuality, and the connections between feminism and queer issues.

Ask women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, and some reticence creeps in. This title looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale.

In 2015, Sheryl Sandberg faced the sudden loss of her husband, Dave Goldberg, leaving her and their two young children devastated. Convinced that joy and meaning were forever lost, she struggled with the reality of their first father-child activity without him. A friend encouraged her to embrace a new path, stating, "Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of Option B." This sentiment reflects a universal truth: everyone encounters some form of loss, whether it be jobs, relationships, or loved ones. The critical question is how we confront these challenges. Thoughtful and revealing, the narrative intertwines Sandberg's personal journey with insights from social scientists like Adam Grant. It shares stories of individuals who have faced significant hardships—such as illness, divorce, and job loss—and emerged stronger. The book highlights the concept of post-traumatic growth, showing that many not only recover but thrive after adversity. It also discusses pre-traumatic growth, emphasizing that resilience can be cultivated even before tragedy strikes. Sandberg and Grant offer strategies for raising resilient children, fostering strong communities, and finding meaning and joy in life. Reflecting on her experience, Sandberg notes the profound changes brought by her loss, illustrating that even in the depths of sadness, it is possible to rise, breathe, and find hope again.
