Life Without Pockets--My Long Journey into Womanhood is a deeply personal story written to help all audiences better understand gender dysphoria, identity, and transformation. The book is an intimate true story chronicling Carla Ernst's journey from male to female. She offers her take on what it's like to transition in the context of societal expectations, while candidly revealing the mental, emotional, and physical impact that gender change can have on a human being. This memoir is an inspiring and thought-provoking view on being transgender, and the challenges of pretending to be someone society says you are until you eventually become the person you know you are. The author uses her own experiences to convey the unique challenges of being transgender while providing a broader framework of the many influences that gender has on the individual and people around her. In response to the countless questions that Ms. Ernst, like most trans people, receives about being transgender, the book is written in an FAQ style. Through these experiences, Ms. Ernst has found her own sense of joy, peace, and happiness. 
 Carla's wish is to help others better understand and cope with the confusion, pain, and fear inherent in the transgender experience. Whether you are on that journey yourself or are a loved one of a transgender person, Life Without Pockets is a powerful narrative that will transform the way you think and feel about transgender.

2019 Eric Hoffer Montaigne Medal Finalist Through her fiercely independent, yet childlike eyes, Tera allows us to enter the recesses of her guarded world. Her Aussie sister, Beth, walks with us, compassionately guiding and explaining.
Tera’s life? A world of secrets. A place of shame. A lifetime of expanding mental illness. Tera moves from collector to hoarder, progressively tipped by the compulsion into a perilous world of rats and disease. As Tera repeatedly expressed through words, actions and even rage, she did not live like other people. And yet, living an ordinary life of home and family was her greatest desire. 
It would never be. (Includes discussion questions.)

Change. Sometimes it wells up from within and we enter gracefully. At other times it is utterly choiceless and the past, present and future get burned up in the most unforgiving flames. The Seven Skills presented in When Bad Lands help guide us through this challenging and rewarding journey. This is not a shortcut to clean up the surface or soften the edges. Rather, it is a mirror for courageously seeing ourselves with humor and heart.

Putting Government in Its Place: The Case for a New Deal 3.0

Putting Government In Its Place: The Case for a New Deal 3.0 tells the story of the House that FDR Built. Responding to the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal team--most prominently, Frances Perkins and Harry Hopkins--created four new clusters of domestic policy. Those policy clusters--(1) broad-based economic security guarantees, (2) means-tested welfare programs, (3) across-the-board market regulation, and (4) massive market manipulation-- emerged quickly during the original New Deal of 1933-1938 (Version 1.0). For the next 80 years, both Democrats and Republicans added dozens of new programs within the same four policy clusters, shaping today's New Deal writ large (Version 2.0). The model worked fairly well during the post-WWII era when the U.S. dominated the world economy and technology remained generally benign. But since the mid-1970s, the New Deal settlement has sputtered in the face of rising international competition and highly disruptive technology. For decades, we've been stuck on a plateau of little-to-no progress--at times, deterioration--in economic security and market effectiveness. Putting Government In Its Place: The Case for a New Deal 3.0 explains the major gaps, flaws, and mistakes of the New Deal settlement. Equally important, the book spells out, in outline and detail, the fundamental and sweeping changes needed to revive the New Deal. The proposed New Deal 3.0 would guarantee far greater economic security for all Americans, make our market economy dramatically more productive, and enlarge the nation's wealth. The result: America's next birth of freedom.
