Why Good People Do Bad Things: understanding our darker selves
by James Hollis
You might think of this book as a more proactive, more introspective version of Why Bad Things Happen to Good People. In Why Good People Do Bad Things, Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis asks readers to engage with their shadow side, the aspect of their personality that most of us work feverishly to ignore. As in his Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life, he unfolds a healing message, not a PowerPoint action plan. A good choice for readers who favor a spiritual or holistic approach to life’s problems. $25.00

Unhooked: how young women pursue sex, delay love and lose at both
by Laura Sessions Stepp
An eye-opening examination of the hookup culture, seen through the personal experiences of high school-and college-age women who confront the hard lessons of dating, love, and sex. We’re living in an increasingly sexualized world, and it’s the young-particularly young women-who must deal with the consequences. Kids are having more sexual contact than ever, and at an earlier age. They call it “hooking up.” But what is “hooking up”? According to Laura Sessions Stepp, a reporter at The Washington Post, hooking up eludes a neat definition. It can be anything from an innocent kiss to sexual. In Unhooked, Stepp follows three groups of young women (one in high school, one each at Duke and George Washington universities). She sat with them in class, socialized with them, listened to them talk, and came away with some disturbing insights, including that hooking up carries with it no obligation on either side. Relationships and romance are seen as messy and time-consuming, and love is postponed-or worse, seen as impossible. Some young women can handle this, but many can’t, and they’re being battered-physically and emotionally-by the new dating landscape. The result is a generation of young people stymied by relationships and unsure where to turn for help. “The need to be connected intimately to others is as central to our well-being as food and shelter,” Stepp writes in Unhooked. “In my view, if we don’t get it right, we’re probably not going to get anything else in life right.” $24.95
The Enemy Within: encountering and conquering the dark side
by Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet
The encounter with enemy within has been vividly portrayed in works of literature such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – and also in modern movie masterpieces such as Star Wars. In The Enemy Within, Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet remove the mask from the dweller-on-the-threshold. They bring a clear understanding and spiritual tools to help us deal with that enemy within. And they reveal the inner light as our true nature, what we can fully become when we have overcome the not-self. $14.95
Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships: a workshop on healing the Wound of the Heart (4 CD’s)
by John Welwood
Welwood challenges the sea of self-help books that offer quick relationship “fixes” of one type or another. Many readers have found that the popular methods and gimmicks tend not to work for very long, if at all. In this book Welwood explores relationship problems at a deeper and more fundamental level. He explains that our hidden belief that we are not worthy of love creates “the mood of unloved,” a dark emotional state that suffuses our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Kept out of conscious awareness, the mood of unloved quickly becomes “the mood of grievance”: a perennial sense of dissatisfaction with our relationships and with our whole world. In Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships, we learn how the wound of the heart causes us to close ourselves off from others. Welwood shows us that the problem is not the love we are or aren’t getting, but our limited ability to fully receive the love that is available. Our wounding prevents us from letting love all the way in, and our work is to heal ourselves so that we can finally receive love. Written in a fresh, lyrical, literary style that honors the complexity, subtlety, and sacred depth of love itself, Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships shows us the work we can do to free ourselves from grievance and “unloved.” With practical exercises and engaging stories drawn from Welwood’s private practice as a couples’ therapist, Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships helps us to heal our hearts so that we can receive love in a way that we never have before. $29.95

Lost Mountain: a year in the vanishing wilderness
by Erik Reece
The mountains of Appalachia are home to one of the oldest and most diverse ecosystems in North America. But they are also host to the mother lode of American coal, and a new form of strip mining has created a state of emergency for the Appalachian wilderness and the communities that depend on it. In powerful, stirring prose Erik Reece chronicles the year he spent witnessing the systematic decimation of a single mountain, exposing how issues of corporate hubris, government neglect, and class conflict have all contributed to the crisis. Lost Mountain is a landmark defense of a natural treasure, a core part of our national identity threatened with extinction. $14.00
The Heirs of Muhammad: Islam’s first century and the origins of the Sunni-Shia split
by Barnaby Rogerson
When the prophet Muhammad died in 632, a tempest of political intrigue and deceit blew over Islam, transforming it forever. In this fast-paced and compelling tale, travel writer Rogerson (The Prophet Mohammad) conducts us on a fascinating journey back to seventh-century Medina and the various schemes that led to the division of Islam into Shia and Sunni factions. The 50 years after Muhammad’s death witnessed a succession of caliphs who attempted to carry the Prophet’s message forward. Rogerson concentrates on the leaders who ruled in these years immediately after Muhammad’s death and traces the split between Shiites and Sunnis to Ali, the Prophet’s cousin and son-in-law, and Aisha, Muhammad’s wife. Ali was assassinated in 661, after being passed over three times as a successor. For the Shia, the vision of Islam was compromised with Muhammad’s death. The Sunnis, on the other hand, believe that the first four “Rightly Guided Caliphs” provided models of the ways that humankind should live. Rogerson provides portraits of all these leaders to illustrate their love of Muhammad and his message. Helpful tables of key characters in the Prophet’s life and genealogies of Muhammad and the four caliphs round out Rogerson’s charming and captivating chronicle. $27.95
Why Can’t We Be Good?
by Jacob Needleman
In his jarring depiction of this most misunderstood of dilemmas, Needleman takes the reader through various settings and case studies: a college classroom, where students of all ages and backgrounds agonize to define goodness in an era marked by relativism and fundamentalism; a chilling psychological experiment from a generation earlier that reveals the capacity for brutality that lurks within us all-and our inability to see it; ancient stories from Rabbinic Judaism and mystical Christianity where, possibly, esoteric schools have left fragments of their own deep inner understanding of humanity’s predicament and how to begin addressing it; and the words of Socrates, which lay bare the problems of the human psyche while hinting at a missing element that would serve to instruct us not merely on that which is good, but on how to commence our own efforts toward becoming the kind of men and women we are capable of being. Steely-eyed, yet hopeful, Needleman provides ideas, and even exercises, that can start to show us the largeness of this problem-the problem of our inability to be good-and the precious early steps toward struggling with it. Here is one of the great philosophical considerations of our era, crafted in a manner that speaks to the needs of every sensitive person. $24.95
