Written by conscious business pioneer Raj Sisodia and transformational expert Nilima Bhat, this book guides listeners through seven essential steps of inner healing that ripple out to create healthier organizations: Know your self—Strip away the masks you wear as a leader to discover who you truly are. Love your self—Learn to embrace all parts of yourself, even the shadows you try to hide. Be your self—Find the courage to lead authentically, not just effectively. Choose your self—Take back authorship of your leadership story. Express your self—Channel your unique gifts into meaningful impact. Complete your self—Bring together all parts of yourself into wholeness. Heal your self—Transform your wounds into wisdom that serves others. Through vulnerable personal stories, practical exercises, and real-world applications, this book provides a road map for leaders who are ready to begin their healing journey—not just for their own sake but also for the healing of the organizations and communities they serve."

Infected: How Power, Politics, and Privilege Use Science Against the World’s Most Vulnerable

"In this groundbreaking new book, award-winning scientist Muhammad H. Zaman delves into the history of US epidemics, from the earliest cases of syphilis, cholera, and smallpox to AIDS and the recent COVID crisis, to show how the country's response (or lack thereof) to infectious disease in America is part of a critical, time-tested strategy in America's toolbox of oppression of the weak, the poor, and the non-white. In the vein of Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Dorothy Roberts's Fatal Invention, Infected is the epic story of white supremacists, compromised doctors, racist politicians, and the heroes who challenged them. Zaman shows that exclusionary immigration acts, the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the development of biological weapons, the early response to the AIDS epidemic, the fake CIA vaccination campaign in Pakistan, and the xenophobic rhetoric sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic are all parts of the same deeper story—one of medical science twisted in the service of social control. This is a story that continues today, on Native American reservations, in foreign zones occupied by the US military, and on our borders, where asylum seekers are denied lifesaving medicines. Melding cutting-edge science and history, Infected presents infection as a key to understanding our recent past, present, and future."

The Time Beneath the Concrete: Palestine Between Camp and Colony

"In The Time beneath the Concrete, Nasser Abourahme argues that settler colonialism is always as much an attempt to conquer time as it is to conquer land. Taking as his primary object Palestinian refugee camps, created in the fallout of the eliminatory violence of Israel's founding, Abourahme shows how these camps become the primary place where settler colonial attempts to dominate space and time encounter Indigenous refusal. Seen from the camps, Israel becomes a settler colonial project defined by its inability to move past the past—a project stuck at its foundational moment of conquest. At the same time, the Palestinian insistence on return is a refusal to abide by the closure of the past into settler futurity. Palestinian struggle does not just happen in the open time of dispossession; it happens over this time. That struggle, Abourahme demonstrates, is a form of anticolonial refusal that draws its power not from any decisive finality, but precisely from irresolution and keeping time open.
