How to create the change you want to see in the world using the paradigm-busting ideas in this "utterly fascinating" (Adam Grant) big-idea book.​ Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world, in which "influencers" are king, "sticky" ideas "go viral," and good behavior is "nudged" forward. The problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same. When it comes to lasting change in what we think or the way we live, the dynamics are different: beliefs and behaviors are not transmitted from person to person in the simple way that a virus is. The real story of social change is more complex. When we are exposed to a new idea, our social networks guide our responses in striking and surprising ways. Drawing on deep-yet-accessible research and fascinating examples from the spread of coronavirus to the success of the Black Lives Matter movement, the failure of Google+, and the rise of political polarization, Change presents groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting new science for understanding what drives change, and how we can change the world around us.

Why do so many clergy burnout in midlife, leaving ministries they've diligently shepherded? The phenomenon has become an epidemic, with an estimated 1,500 pastors leaving the ministry each month in the United States alone. Bishop Trevor Walters draws on his more than three decades as an Anglican priest and counselor, to show how so many professionals (not just clergy) burnout at around age 50. Contrary to popular assumption, the author explains that the primary cause of burnout is not stress, as we thought . . . Rather, burnout is the result of an internal conflict. (Many high-stress professions have relatively low burnout rates.) Lacking affirmation from parents (particularly fathers) during their formative years, many professionals seek to get affirmation from those they serve, a path to inevitable burnout. With collaboration from psychiatrist Jim Stanley, M.D. Walters offers hope by demonstrating that recognizing this source of burnout, far from being a fatal diagnosis, is the first necessary step to seeking the healing available through the Great Physician Jesus Christ. The author looks as a pattern for relationships to the example of the Heavenly Father's relationship with Jesus during his Incarnate Son's earthly ministry. When earthly fathers fall short, real injury is imparted to their children. But seeing, understanding, and acknowledging the injury can set the course for genuine healing and genuine forgiveness. Dr. Stanley, a Stanford University and Yale Medical School trained psychiatrist, affirms that the author's observations and therapy are consistent with current practices in psychiatry, and that they hold true for highfunctioning professionals in a variety of fields. While the insights offered are vital for counselors and psychiatrists treating those suffering from External Affirmation Syndrome (EAS), the book is also valuable, and very accessible, for lay people seeking to understand their own struggles or those of a loved one.
