Dr. Paul Boskind, a successful psychologist and LGBTQ+ advocate, thought he had everything under control. Diagnosed with a blinding retinal disorder at twenty-one, he defied the odds, building a fulfilling life. But years earlier than expected, his vision began to fade.The Blind Man Game is Paul's poignant journey of self-discovery as he navigates the emotional turmoil of losing his sight and sense of self. With his future uncertain, Paul must draw on his expertise and inner strength to confront grief, fear, and a world no longer designed for him.This inspiring memoir is not just about losing sight; it's about finding resilience. As Paul adjusts to his new reality, he finds solace in his chosen family, the friends who become his lifeline. Through their love, Paul discovers new ways to experience the world, forging a path toward a future he never imagined, yet one that is equally fulfilling.A testament to the power of both community and the strength we find within ourselves, The Blind Man Game reminds us that sight isn't everything-and that even in the darkest moments, we can discover a new way forward.
Uncaged: A Good Girl's Journey to Reinvention is a story about the choices we make, the cages we build for ourselves, and how we can break free. From the quiet suburbs of Switzerland to the warm, familial settings of Greece and beyond, Uncaged takes readers inside a deeply personal journey from toxicity and heartbreak to self-discovery and transformation. Raised in a traditional Greek family, Katia enters the world with deeply ingrained beliefs about what it means to be a "good girl," forced to put others' needs and desires above her own, while checking all the boxes of societal approval--academic excellence, a promising career, a picture-perfect marriage. Yet, despite her many accomplishments, even strong-willed Katia struggles to fully love and accept herself, and progressively loses touch with her true essence, which deep down is playful, adventurous, and free-spirited. As a result of the false labels ("selfish") and other painful childhood baggage she carries, Katia often expresses the outrage of an adolescent who wasn't permitted to feel her anger--or even her grief. But as her story unfolds, the hardworking defense analyst learns (the hard way) to take risks and make mistakes, and finally, to embrace her true calling and a more authentic life. From rebelliously riding away on a lover's Harley to overcoming an embittered divorce to grieving the loss of her beloved father to finally embracing healthy love--Katia's story is raw, honest, vulnerable, and strong. Uncaged proves that we can change, risk, forgive, and grow. We can find genuine meaning and purpose. We can carve out life on our own terms. We can create home and belonging--and even love--no matter where in the world we find ourselves.
Having spent the past two decades helping Fortune 500 brands and leaders embrace the changes they'd rather fight or ignore, Michael McQueen understands what it takes to change even the most stubborn minds. But persuading others is getting harder and harder. In our ideology-driven and polarized age, certainty has taken the place of curiosity and open-mindedness has given way to obstinance. Drawing on the latest discoveries in disciplines ranging from neuroscience to behavioural economics, McQueen suggests that we are too often using nineteenth- and twentieth-century techniques to change twenty-first-century minds-and are wondering why it's not working. What we need is an upgrade in our understanding of what it really takes to influence others.
