Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew
By Acho, Emmanuel
From two New York Times bestselling authors, a timely, disarmingly honest, and thought-provoking investigation into antisemitism that connects the dots between the tropes and hatred of the past to our current complicated moment.. For Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby no question about Jews is off-limits. They go there. They cover Jews and money. Jews and power. Jews and privilege. Jews and white privilege. The Black and Jewish struggle. Emmanuel asks, Did Jews kill Jesus? To which Noa responds, "Why are Jewish people history's favorite scapegoat?" They unpack Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? And: Are you antisemitic if you're anti-Zionist? The questions - and answers - might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes, stereotypes, and catalysts of antisemitism in America today.

The Ritual Effect
By Norton, Dr Michael
In the bestselling tradition of Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit and Angela Duckworth's Grit, a renowned social psychologist demonstrates the power of small acts - and how a subtle turning of habits into rituals can add purpose and pleasure to life.. Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track - what we come to know as habits. Over time, these routines (for example, brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we're more mindful about these actions - when we focus on the precise way they are performed - they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a "habitual" mindset to a "ritual" mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.
