SUMMARY:Marianne Ingheim - Out of Love
DESCRIPTION:We all tell ourselves stories about who we are. Many of these stories are self-critical and disempowering. Through the practice of self-compassion\, we can rewrite these stories and become more authentic and powerful versions of ourselves—transforming not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us. \nIn short and personal pieces\, Marianne Ingheim tells the story of how the practice of self-compassion has changed her life in ways big and small\, helping her unlearn harsh self-criticism\, survive multiple tragedies\, and live more authentically. In the wake of a breast cancer diagnosis and her husband’s suicide\, she discovers the power of self-compassionate storytelling and finds belonging within herself—and in doing so\, she learns how to manage anxiety and stress\, how to be authentic in relationships\, and how to let go of comparison and be truly creative. \nThrough stories and journaling prompts\, Out of Love: Finding Your Way Back to Self-Compassion aims to inspire readers to unlearn the self-critical patterns holding them hostage—and begin to live a happier\, more courageous life. \nMarianne Ingheim is a Danish-Norwegian American writer\, teacher\, and PhD student at California Institute of Integral Studies. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information\, please visit www.marianneingheim.com.

We get flashes of forgetting the water.’ How glorious.” — The New York Times Book Review\n\n \nA Boston Globe bestseller and Best Book of the Season: Amazon\, Buzzfeed\, Bustle\, The San Francisco Chronicle\n\nBonnie Tsui is a longtime contributor to The New York Times and California Sunday Magazine. She has been the recipient of the Jane Rainie Opel Young Alumna Award from Harvard University\, the Lowell Thomas Gold Award\, and a National Press Foundation Fellowship. American Chinatown: A People’s History of Five Neighborhoods\, won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature and was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and Best of 2009 Notable Bay Area Books selection. Bonnie has also performed numerous times at Pop-Up Magazine and other live storytelling events.

Ranging across continents\, cultures and generations\, Jin poses profound questions: how might we know ourselves\, or the people we love? And what truths\, if any\, travel with us?” — Claire Messud\n \n“If the mark of a good novel is its ability to delicately rewire the reader’s brain\, then Meng Jin has given us a very good novel….Little Gods is a page-turner—but all the while it winks\, reminding us that possible explanations in our universe are as varied as the beings who populate it.” — The Paris Review\, Staff Pick\n\n\nMeng Jin was born in Shanghai and lives in San Francisco. A Kundiman Fellow\, she is a graduate of Harvard and Hunter College. Little Gods is her first novel.\nAlia Volz\n(Home Baked: My Mom\, Marijuana\, and the Stoning of San Francisco)\n“I devoured this book!

Characters deal with and talk about racism and homophobia\, gentrification and police brutality. These are some of the challenges they endure as they navigate universally human experiences like connection\, community\, birth\, and death. . . . Diverse characters and a deeply likable protagonist make this a standout debut.” — Starred Review\, Kirkus Reviews\n\n\n\nTomas Moniz edited Rad Dad\, Rad Families\, and the kids book Collaboration/Colaboración.
