"An unabashed guide and rueful confessional that lays bare the troublesome impact of influence in our culture and offers the freedom of living intentionally without it. Jessica Elefante Davis is a master manipulator. Or, she used to be. Her hope was to live outside the confines of traditional expectations. Rather than falling prey to the everyday influences pulling the strings, she attempted to become free from them by pulling the strings herself. Throughout her journey from bad influence to award-winning corporate strategist she collected nuggets of knowledge that all seemed to come down to one thing: influence-using it and abusing it. She soon began to wonder: was she the one avoiding it-or was she wielding it? Elefante Davis, now a reformed brand strategist, leads us through her own misadventures to open the door to a freer way of living. She shines a light on the forces attempting to persuade our every choice: what we buy, how we behave, and which values we embrace. In a noisy world overwhelmed by in-your-face everything, understanding-first How-Come, then How-To-is the key to hearing our own voice. With her groundbreaking take on intentional living, you'll learn a simple practice to uncomplicate how the powers-that-be attempt to modify our behaviors: Spot the Folklore: the myths preached so widely that we accept these influences as fact End the cycle of Folktales: the stories we tell ourselves to try to fit within the accepted standards Embrace the Folk Rebellion: a moment to pause and assess the influences so we can make choices that are true to ourselves After a life-saving, game-changing kick in the guts, Elefante Davis came to terms with the boxes she got stuck in and, regrettably, created for others. Unpretentious, ingenious, and devil-hearted, Raising Hell, Living Well holds out a hand to help you climb out from under the influence too"--

"Based on the true story of two Jaffa teenagers, Mother of Strangers follows the daily lives of Subhi, a fifteen-year-old mechanic, and Shams, the thirteen-year-old student he hopes to marry one day. In this prosperous and cosmopolitan port city, with its bustling markets, cinemas, and cafés on the hills overlooking the Mediter­ranean Sea, we meet many other unforgettable charac­ters as well, including Khawaja Michael, the elegant and successful owner of orange groves above the harbor; Mr. Hassan, the tailor who makes Subhi's treasured English suit, which he hopes will change his life; and the very mischievous and outrageous Uncle Habeeb, who insists on introducing Subhi to the local bordello. With a thriving orange export business, Jaffa had always been a city welcoming to outsiders--the "Mother of Strangers"--where Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived peacefully together. Once the bombardment of the city begins in April 1948, Suad Amiry gives us the grim but fascinating details of the shock, panic, and destruc­tion that ensues. Jaffa becomes unrecognizable, with neighborhoods flattened, families removed from their homes and separated, and those who remain in constant danger of arrest and incarceration. Most of the popula­tion flees eastward to Jordan or by sea to Lebanon in the north or to Egypt and Gaza in the south. Subhi and Shams will never see each other again."--

"Taming the Street tells the epic story of the FDR's battle to regulate Wall Street for the very first time in the wake of the Crash of 1929 that ushered in the Great Depression. Deeply reported and vividly told, it provides a trip back to a time when the power of concentrated wealth in America arguably exceeded that of the federal government. Roosevelt's campaign to curb the excesses of the market, end reckless speculation, and mitigate the disastrous boom-and-bust cycle is one of the great untold dramas in American history, and as it unfolded, its outcome was far from clear. Henriques has written this book for two main reasons: First, because it's a vital history that needs to be preserved and properly told; and as importantly, because the battle lines that were drawn in that time are the very same battle lines that define our politics today. Taming the Street is a book rooted in the drama of the 1930s, but as inequality in America has again reached Jazz Age levels, one of Henriques' many ambitions for the book is to bring to life a time when the system worked in the public interest. An idealistic time when we knew what had to be done, and summoned the will to do it, against the power of an American oligarchy"--
