If you are interested in a crash course from Oprah in the 1990s, then this book is it. People pleasing. Self love. Self compassion.

Not toxic people. Just toxic behaviours.

Faye June is right. Sort of. But capitalism is based on exploitation. And late

The Inclusive Leader's Guide to Healthy Workplace Culture by Meredith Holley

This is a solid book that explores 'healthy' workplace cultures. It offers concrete steps to 'manage' a crisis, but also how to create a healthy workplace to avoid crises in the first place.

The Bystander Nation by Neha Bansal
Rate this book
Clear rating
Look. This isn't really a book. It is a collection of maxims. Mantras. Provocations. T-shirt slogans.

There is no real formatting. Chapters start in the middle of the page. Sentences spill down the page, unframed by paragraphs.

But I have given it four

You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson

Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns by Andrea Gibson
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is a poetry book of the moon. Of women. Of war.

And a desire to believe in faith and rituals of religion, even though we know that gods do not exist.

It is a book that desires what is not present. But could be.

Moving. Potent. Gentle. Provocative.

The Madness Vase by Andrea Gibson

This is a magnificent poetry book. Like the best of the genre, it is small - 158 pages.

But it is mighty.

Andrea Gibson's poetry uses language like the gentlest cleanser. They remove the dirt from our lives, and reveals truths about love, sex, death a
