Hardback. New. <b>âA stunning, big and bold encyclopedia of how to liveâ </b>LISA TADDEO <b>'A guide to liberation and a return to the authentic feminine self' </b>GABOR MATÃ <b>_______________</b> <b>Why do women equate self-denial with being âgoodâ?</b> We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put othersâ needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses â often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts â are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores: Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride. These so-called âdeadly sinsâ have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work. <b>So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be âgoodâ?</b> Provocative and bold<i>, On Our Best Behaviour</i> is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Elise Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover a path toward a more balanced, fulfilled way to live. <b>_______________</b> <b>'Brilliantly reframes our toxic cultural programming' </b>LORI GOTTLIEB <b>'Half historical docent, half big sister with a hot cup of tea, read this and change your life'</b> TERRENCE REAL, 6, Dey Street Books.

MIKE PENCE: THE ULTIMATE POLITICAL SHAPE-SHIFTER "I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican . . . in that order." -Mike Pence As the impeachment of President Donald Trump remains a constant topic of discussion in political circles, the questions around our current vice president also continue to swirl, and in some ways, the puzzlement over his true nature has never truly been clear. Tom LoBianco, a longtime Pence reporter, cuts to the core of the nation's most enigmatic politician in this intimate yet expansive account of the vice president's journey to the White House. In Piety & Power, LoBianco follows Pence from his evangelical conversion in college to his failed career as a young lawyer, to his thwarted attempts at politics until he hitched his wagon to far-right extremism, becoming the Congressional poster boy for faith-based policy and Tea Party rhetoric. Giving readers a minute-by-minute account of the selection process that made him Donald Trump's unlikely running mate in 2016, Piety & Power traces Pence's personal and political life, painting a picture of a man driven by faith and conviction, yes, but also a hunger for power. LoBianco crafts a revealing portrait of the real Mike Pence-a politician whose understated style masks a drive for power, but also a surprising political acumen-by drawing on years of research, over one hundred exclusive interviews with those closest to the vice president, and deep ties both within the Beltway and Indiana state politics. Highlighting Pence's strained, at times obsequious, relationship with Trump; his marriage to Karen; his deeply repressed personality; his presidential aspirations and plans for America's future; and his deep-rooted faith in his country, in God, and ultimately himself; Piety & Power provides insights and answers as it sheds light on this ambitious Midwestern politician, his past, and his possible future.
