5/11/2023 0 Comments Jen sincero books in orderShondaland recently spoke with Sincero about her inspiration for the Badass book series, the importance of a positive inner circle, and why going to a “spiritual gym” is critical to success. Many of the steps focus on changing one’s beliefs about oneself because, as she writes in the book, “Good habits are about who you decide to be, not what you decide to do.” In her latest book in the series, Badass Habits: Cultivate the Confidence, Boundaries, and Know-How to Upgrade Your Life, out now in paperback, Sincero takes readers through a 21-day program to establish positive new habits or break bad old ones. Because being a badass, she tells Shondaland, means “giving yourself permission to be, do, and have the things that you really, truly desire that are most authentically you.” The self-proclaimed “motivational cattle prod” has used humor, self-deprecation, and tough love to encourage readers to transform their lives for the better. Since 2013, the books - currently four in total - have sold millions of copies worldwide, making Sincero a leader in the field of self-development. If you’ve been to a bookstore in recent years, you’ve undoubtedly seen one of Jen Sincero’s New York Times best-selling Badass books. 5/11/2023 0 Comments Dreams of gods and monsters bookA vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz.something is happening.

In making these linkages we see how the current hegemony keep social justice movements divided and marginalized. Consequences of Capitalism make the deep, often unseen connections between common sense and power. Is our "common sense" understanding of the world a reflection of the ruling class's demands of the larger society? If we are to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet, Chomsky and Waterstone forcefully argue that we must look closely at the everyday tools we use to interpret the world. The outcome of those contests is uncertain everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands. Contests for controlling the narratives around the meaning of this pandemic will be the terrain of struggle for either a new, more humane common sense and society or a return to the status quo ante. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society by making connections between common sense and power.
