Book Description
In Fear Less, Love More, clinical psychologist and executive coach Dr. Kathryn Haber shares her dramatic experiences of losing her mother, father, brother and sister to cancer, and her own cancer battle while raising three babies under three years of age. To help make it through these losses and other life challenges, Kathryn explored, researched, and concluded that there are five choices that can help us live a peaceful and fulfilled life-which she illuminates through personal and professional vignettes, some funny, some painful, and some inspirational. Her story addresses what it means to be human, and how we often operate from a position of fear in this unpredictable and difficult world we live in-whether we are dealing with day-to-day challenges or larger natural disasters, pandemics, or global concerns. We find ourselves in "protect" mode, falling prey to our egocentric behaviors rather than thinking beyond ourselves, considering the whole environment, our community, what's in the best interest of others. When we behave in eco-centric ways, we are our best selves, connecting with others for the greater good. Helping others gives us a sense of purpose which goes beyond the fleeting emotions of feeling happy, creating an internal peace that is sustainable over time.

Bowling Alone: Revised and Updated

Book Description
Updated to include a new chapter about the influence of social media and the Internet—the 20th anniversary edition of Bowling Alone remains a seminal work of social analysis, and its examination of what happened to our sense of community remains more relevant than ever in today’s fractured America. Twenty years, ago, Robert D. Putnam made a seemingly simple observation: once we bowled in leagues, usually after work; but no longer. This seemingly small phenomenon symbolized a significant social change that became the basis of the acclaimed bestseller, Bowling Alone, which The Washington Post called “a very important book” and Putnam, “the de Tocqueville of our generation.” Bowling Alone surveyed in detail Americans’ changing behavior over the decades, showing how we had become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and social structures, whether it’s with the PTA, church, clubs, political parties, or bowling leagues. In the revised edition of his classic work, Putnam shows how our shrinking access to the “social capital” that is the reward of communal activity and community sharing still poses a serious threat to our civic and personal health, and how these consequences have a new resonance for our divided country today. He includes critical new material on the pervasive influence of social media and the internet, which has introduced previously unthinkable opportunities for social connection—as well as unprecedented levels of alienation and isolation. At the time of its publication, Putnam’s then-groundbreaking work showed how social bonds are the most powerful predictor of life satisfaction, and how the loss of social capital is felt in critical ways, acting as a strong predictor of crime rates and other measures of neighborhood quality of life, and affecting our health in other ways. While the ways in which we connect, or become disconnected, have changed over the decades, his central argument remains as powerful and urgent as ever: mending our frayed social capital is key to preserving the very fabric of our society.
