We All Have Expectations, whether they've been placed on us by ourselves or by others. As much as we want to live in the moment and enjoy our lives, we can't help but get caught up in the cycle of striving to do better. To be better. But our ability to "get it together" has nothing to do with us or what we do. Our daily attempt to do better will only leave us discouraged and frustrated as we fall into the trap of comparison. The Happy Hour podcast host Jamie Ivey challenges us to surrender our expectations and rest in God's truth about who we are. In Why Can't I Get It Together?, Jamie shows you how to: release the crippling pressure you're putting on yourself by learning how to practice seff-compassion; discover what's driving that struggle making you feel defeated and how to conquer it; overcome the feeling that life will always be this way by discovering your personal path to peace; and redefine the concept of having it together with a personal definition that's achievable for you. Jamie guides us through six areas of our lives that are affecting our perception of God's love and shares her own process and the words she herself needed to hear when confronting past hurts and present feelings of inadequacy. At the end of this journey, you will be encouraged that regardless of your past or what your current situation is, with God's Spirit, you can have peace and ultimately get it together.

Your mind is your most powerful tool—but what happens when it’s working against you?
If you’ve ever thought:

 

• “I’ll never be good enough.”
• “I’m too old to find love.”
• “I can’t ask for a raise—they’ll think I’m greedy,”

...then you’ve been hijacked by patriarchy’s greatest weapon: the inner critic it planted in your brain.

Enter Kara Loewentheil, Master Certified Coach, recovering lawyer, and host of the wildly popular UnF*ck Your Brain podcast. In Take Back Your Brain, she unpacks how society’s relentless messages about women’s worth—based on looks, productivity, and caregiving—worm their way into our thoughts, leaving us feeling anxious, unworthy, and stuck.

But here’s the thing: your thoughts aren’t facts. Loewentheil shows you how to identify the sexist programming running your brain, hit "delete," and replace it with beliefs that actually serve you.

Loewentheil unveils the insidious ways sexism infiltrates women's thoughts, leading to self-doubt and anxiety. Using tools from cognitive psychology, feminist theory, and her neuroplasticity-based coaching practice, she makes rewiring your brain accessible, actionable, and even fun. Through practical exercises and profound insights, readers will learn to:
 

• Identify and challenge self-critical thoughts rooted in patriarchal conditioning.
• Develop resilience and confidence by reshaping mental habits.
• Enhance personal and professional relationships through improved self-perception.
• Achieve greater fulfillment and joy by aligning thoughts with true potential.
• Build confidence that actually lasts.

Loewentheil has been where you are—burned out, self-critical, and stuck in an endless loop of “not enough”—and she knows the way out.

This book is for you if:
 

• You’re ready to stop overthinking every decision and start living with purpose.
• You want confidence that doesn’t crumble at the first sign of criticism.
• You’re tired of playing small and know you’re meant for more.

Loewentheil doesn’t just teach you how to think differently—she shows you how to feel differently, make bold moves, and create a life that feels as good as it looks. Discover why Mel Robbins, Tori Dunlap, and more love this book!

 

Peabody and Emmy Award–winning journalist Jane Marie expands on her popular podcast The Dream to expose the scourge of multilevel marketing schemes and how they have profited off the evisceration of the American working class.

We’ve all heard of Amway, Mary Kay, Tupperware, and LuLaRoe, but few know the nefarious way they, and countless other multilevel marketing (MLM) companies, prey on desperate Americans struggling to make ends meet.

When factories close, stalwart industries shutter, and blue-collar opportunities evaporate, MLMs are there, ready to pounce on the crumbling American Dream. MLMs thrive in rural areas and on military bases, targeting women with promises of being their own boss and millions of dollars in easy income—even at the risk of their entire life savings. But the vast majority—99.7%—of those who join an MLM make no money or lose money, and wind up stuck with inventory they can’t sell to recoup their losses.

Selling the Dream “is an urgent and riveting exposé” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) that reveals how these companies—often owned by political and corporate elites, such as the DeVos and the Van Andel families—have made a windfall in profit off of the desperation of the American working class.

If life were a house, then every room holds a story. What do we do when a room we're in is no longer a room where we belong?

What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it's time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life--jobs, relationships, communities, life stages--knowing how and when it's time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman offers guidance to help us recognize when it's time to move on from situations that no longer fit, allowing us to find new spaces where we can flourish and grow.

How to Walk Into a Room helps us begin to uncover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows for anyone asking questions like: How do I know if it's time to move on? What if I stay and nothing changes? What if I leave and everything falls apart?

Through thought-provoking questions, spiritual practices, and personal stories, How to Walk into a Room will help you to know and name the caution flags in your current spaces, discern the difference between true peace and discomfort avoidance, navigate endings even when there is no closure, find peace for when you feel ready but it isn't time, and courage for when it's time but you don't feel ready.

For anyone standing in a threshold, here's a book to help discern the how, when, and what now of walking out of rooms and into new ones with peace, confidence, and a whole heart.

Presented by the hit podcast American History Tellers, The Hidden History of the White House reveals the behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history--set right inside the house where it happened

For more than two centuries, the White House in Washington, DC, has been the stage for some of the most climactic moments in American history. Its walls and portraits have witnessed fierce power struggles, history-altering decisions, shocking scandals, and intimate moments among the First Family, their guests, and the staff.

In the signature style of the popular American History Tellers podcast, The Hidden History of the White House places readers in the shoes of historical figures--from power brokers to everyday Americans alike--who lived through pivotal events that shaped America.

As a fly on the wall of history, you'll find yourself immersed in:

• Andrew Jackson's disastrous 1829 inauguration, when a mob overran and trashed the White House.
• Woodrow Wilson's stroke, which led to his wife Edith serving as shadow president during the final months of his administration.
• President-elect Abraham Lincoln's clandestine journey to Washington to dodge an assassination plot on the eve of the Civil War.
• Winston Churchill's wartime sojourn at the White House, during which he and FDR developed plans to defeat Germany.
• Barack Obama's decision to green-light the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Equal parts social, political, and cultural history--written and presented in the accessible and engaging style for which American History Tellers is famous--The Hidden History of the White House offers readers a rare opportunity to live within the halls of the Executive Mansion, and explore some of the extraordinary people and events that made America what it is today.

A comprehensive and compassionate guide to navigating loss.

When social worker Lisa Keefauver became a widow in 2011, she was alarmed to discover that even though 100 percent of us experience loss, we’re living in a grief illiterate world. In her work as a therapist, and in her search for help in the wake of her own loss, Keefauver began to see how the misguided stories we consume about grief lead to unnecessary suffering. Responding to the problematic narratives that grief is something to move on from after completing the five stages like some sort of to-do list, Keefauver became a grief activist. Through this book and her hit podcast of the same title, she creates a safe place to be inside the messiness of it all, to discover the full spectrum of grief, and to find the tools that help grievers move forward, not on. Grief is a Sneaky Bitch is a comprehensive guide—both a manual full of insights and skills and, even more importantly, a thoughtful companion that helps readers feel seen and held.

Keefauver shares her personal and professional wisdom alongside the lessons she’s learned from clinicians, authors, poets, and friends. In place of rigid instructions and must-do checklists, Grief is a Sneaky Bitch invites reflection, encourages self-compassion, and explores the therapeutic power of humor with, yes, a bit of profanity.

Did you know that anyone--addicts or non-addicts--can benefit from working the Twelve Steps and find the freedom, joy, and intimacy with God that their hearts long for?

We all suffer from a sense of spiritual homelessness--a feeling that we're not fully at home in the world. To cope with our painful feelings and life traumas, we search for quick "fixes" that eventually become habitual, self-destructive behaviors that ultimately create more problems than they solve.

As a person in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, Ian Cron is no stranger to these destructive habits. It wasn't until he embraced the Twelve Steps that he found true freedom. He knows from personal experience that Twelve Step recovery is more than just a life-saving strategy for guiding substance users into sobriety. Everybody is addicted to something to numb the discomfort of living in a messed-up world, he says, but the good news is that if you committedly "work the steps," you will eventually have a vital spiritual awakening that will give you an entirely new and radically beautiful orientation toward the life God has for you.

If you long for sustainable healing and joy amid life's messiness, The Fix invites you to:

• Journey step-by-step through a spiritual curriculum that has helped millions overcome trauma, pain, and brokenness for over eight decades
• Understand how the Twelve Steps can be a transformative tool not only for people with chemical or behavioral addictions but for anyone who wants to move beyond self-help to a spiritual awakening
• Catch yourself in the act of self-sabotaging behaviors and understand how each day is a new opportunity to trade in self-willed reformation for grace-powered transformation

"My original subtitle for this book--Twelve Steps to Unscrewing Your Screwed-Up Life--was a little over the top," Ian comments. "But anyone who has ever fallen for a quick fix (like drugs, alcohol, porn, overeating, work, religion, people-pleasing, and more) knows firsthand how our self-prescribed treatment plans derail us. They might not be as visible as empty bottles stashed inside a desk drawer, but they are just as life-complicating and soul-crushing."

With his characteristic wit and transparent self-disclosure, Ian guides us in learning how to work each of the Twelve Steps so we will finally be given a "new pair of glasses" through which we will be able to see ourselves, others, and the world in a startlingly new way--and ultimately take hold of the freedom God has been waiting to give us all along.

A relatable personal finance guide that gives a fresh take on how to control your impulse spending so you can stick to a budget and pay off debt, without the guilt and shame of traditional financial advice--from the hosts of the beloved Frugal Friends podcast.

There's a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money. But what if you made financial decisions based on what you value--instead of what others are telling you to value?

This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that's a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don't value everything.

The Frugal Friends' wisdom comes from personal experience: Jen paid off $78,000 of debt in two years without a six-figure income, while Jill has a background in social work and downsized to an RV to pay off student loans. Together, their advice is both relatable and actionable.

In their debut book, they share a plan for sifting through what's not important to find the things you truly love spending money on. You'll learn how to

• Analyze your current spending and identify what you value
• Prioritize your values when you can't afford everything
• Identify the root causes of your impulse spending
• Make your habit changes stick long-term

From credit card and student loan debt to the rising costs of childcare and homes; it has never been more important to get control of your spending. Jen and Jill show you how to do it in a way that's healthy, not shameful, while exploring topics like overconsumption, self-worth, and the insidious history behind our consumption-obsessed culture.

If you want to reach your goals and feel good about your finances, Buy What You Love Without Going Broke offers a holistic approach to reshape the way you think about spending money.

WINNER OF THE CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD® • Winner of the Christianity Today Book Award • A leading advocate for racial reconciliation calls Christians to move toward deeper understanding in the midst of a divisive culture.
 
In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening.
 
But change begins with an honest conversation among a group of Christians willing to give a voice to unspoken hurts, hidden fears, and mounting tensions. These ongoing dialogues have formed the foundation of a global movement called Be the Bridge—a nonprofit organization whose goal is to equip the church to have a distinctive and transformative response to racism and racial division.
 
In this perspective-shifting book, founder Latasha Morrison shows how you can participate in this incredible work and replicate it in your own community. With conviction and grace, she examines the historical complexities of racism. She expertly applies biblical principles, such as lamentation, confession, and forgiveness, to lay the framework for restoration.
 
Along with prayers, discussion questions, and other resources to enhance group engagement, Be the Bridge presents a compelling vision of what it means for every follower of Jesus to become a bridge builder—committed to pursuing justice and racial unity in light of the gospel.

The innovative James Beard Award-winning podcaster who changed the way you think about pasta shapes with his invention of the viral sensation cascatelli now does the same for pasta sauces in this fun and charmingly obsessive cookbook, which includes a foreword from bestselling author J. Kenji López-Alt.

When Sporkful podcast host Dan Pashman launched cascatelli, a new pasta shape he invented that he designed to hold tons of sauce, stay on the fork, and be incredibly satisfying to bite into, it went viral and was named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. VICE called him "a modern pasta legend."

But as Dan was flooded with pictures of what people were making with his pasta, he was disappointed to see how limited the dishes were: tomato sauce, meat sauce, mac and cheese, over and over. A few party animals made pesto.

So Dan set out to revolutionize people's conceptions of pasta sauces, just as he did with pasta shapes. He traveled across Italy and worked with an all-star team of recipe developers in the US to create a new kind of pasta sauce cookbook for people bored with the old standbys. That's why there's no 3-hour marinara recipe or fresh pasta made from scratch in this book. No photos of nonnas caked in flour or the hills of Tuscany. Instead it's time to show the world--Anything's Pastable.

Here you'll enjoy dishes inspired by a range of ingredients and cuisines:

• Kimchi Carbonara
• Cacio e Pepe e Chili Crisp
• Keema Bolognese
• Mapo Tofu Cascatelli
• Shakshuka and Shells
• Smoked Cheddar and Chicken Manicotti "Enchiladas"
• Linguine with Miso Clam Sauce
• Shrimp and Andouille Mac and Cheese

Lesser-known Italian pasta dishes with a twist:

• Spaghetti all'Assassina (spicy pasta pan fried until charred and crispy crunchy)
• Ciceri e Tria (chewy fresh pasta with crispy fried pasta in a light chickpea broth)
• Cavatelli with Roasted Artichokes and Preserved Lemon
• Creste di Gallo with Fava Beans and Dandelion Greens
• Pasta Frittata

Fun and delicious concoctions that may--or may not--be how they do it in Italy:

• Spinach Artichoke Dip Lasagna Pinwheels
• Pasta Pizza (the "crust" is fettucine fused together)
• Roman Cafeteria Hot Dog Pasta Salad with Canned Veggies

With an incredible array of recipes, Dan showcases the limitless pastabilities when you really know how to use your noodle.
