Now in paperback, a compelling biography of Lydia Maria Child, one of nineteenth-century America’s most courageous abolitionists. By 1830, Lydia Maria Child had established herself as something almost unheard of in the American nineteenth century: a beloved and self-sufficient female author. Best known today for the immortal poem “Over the River and through the Wood,” Child had become famous at an early age for spunky self-help books and charming children’s stories. But in 1833, Child shocked her readers by publishing a scathing book-length argument against slavery in the United States—a book so radical in its commitment to abolition that friends abandoned her, patrons ostracized her, and her book sales plummeted. Yet Child soon drew untold numbers to the abolitionist cause, becoming one of the foremost authors and activists of her generation. Lydia Maria Child: A Radical American Life tells the story of what brought Child to this moment and the extraordinary life she lived in response. Through Child’s example, philosopher Lydia Moland asks questions as pressing and personal in our time as they were in Child’s: What does it mean to change your life when the moral future of your country is at stake? When confronted by sanctioned evil and systematic injustice, how should a citizen live? Child’s lifetime of bravery, conviction, humility, and determination provides a wealth of spirited guidance for political engagement today.

The Radical Life Renovation is a luminous, science-backed program filled with soulful stories, thought-provoking exercises, transforming action prompts and fascinating data that'll whisk you on a journey toward the re-conceptualization of your past, your present and your future. Every page lands like a hug, and serves as a sanctuary of celebration, encouragement, wisdom and tough-love. After combing through her vault of interviews with some of the top psychologists, neuroscientists, entrepreneurs and spiritual thought leaders of our modern day, as well as the weathered, coffee-stained pages of her own late-night journal ramblings, award-winning mental health and relationships journalist and trauma expert Lacey Johnson created this guided program that'll re-energize your brain and heart, and spotlight what's been holding you hostage so that you can reimagine what it means to be you, all the while flinging open new doorways of confidence, determination, possibility and power.

The Beatitudes are our pattern for living. They are radical. From the first, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," to the last, "Blessed are those who are persecuted," each runs counter to our culture. The world praises pride, not humility. The first four shape our character, the last four shape our actions. You'll find no better guide for your life.

In his bestselling book Emergence, Derek Rydall helps you throw aside the self-help books and recognize one simple, radical truth: the answer is already in you. The harder we try to change, the deeper in the hole we get. We find a new partner but have the same old fights. We strive for an ever-bigger paycheck but end up broke at a higher income bracket. This is what happens when the basic principle of life—the Law of Emergence—is disrupted, stopping you from knowing that you are the perfect you. Like an acorn is a perfect acorn that becomes a perfect oak tree, there is not a part of you from beginning to end that isn't exactly what you should be. The Law of Emergence provides the foundation to re-engage with this ancient principle. In this seven-stage framework, spiritual life coach Derek Rydall shows that we aren’t lacking anything; everything we need to fulfill our full potential is already inside us. Backed by an ancient truth that has largely been lost, Rydall changes the conversation around how to achieve your potential by showing you how to activate the genius already in you and empower your purpose in life. If you are struggling to improve something about yourself—your health, your mindset, your relationships, then Emergence is the book and Derek is the teacher you have been waiting for.
