About this listen
From friendships to Facebook to far-off countries, what do we do when our lives seem mired in conflict? How do we find connection when our differences are constantly on display and even exacerbated by algorithms and echo chambers? How do we build a kinder society?
If you are tired of the anxiety, frustration, and fear that pervade your connections with other people, both online and in real life, Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers want you to know one thing—you are not alone. In this book they will help you understand the powerful connections you have with other people on a personal, community-based, national, and even international level. Then they show you how to engage your family with a spirit of curiosity; listen closely to the anxieties and fears of your friends; explore shared values within your community; understand your work as a citizen in a diverse country; and hold lightly those things that are beyond your control around the world.
The status quo isn't working. If you long to be a peacemaker and a positive influence in your spheres, Now What? is your door to a future that is characterized by hope, love, and connection despite our differences.

Story
Teenagers are a breed of their own. They speak their own language, they abide by their own rules, and they seem to exist to drive adults crazy. But adolescence is a typical stage of human development that is the essential preparation for success in the adult world. The more you understand about your teen’s brain, the better prepared you will be to handle this turbulent time. Professor Abigail Baird has devoted the majority of her career to studying adolescence, and in this Audible Original, she shares the latest perspectives on this amazing time of cognitive and behavioral growth.

Women get mixed messages about how to succeed at work, and research shows that much of the career advice aimed at men doesn't even work for women.

Known for being 2018’s most-booked female speaker in the world and now a nationally-syndicated talk show host, Mel Robbins answers these questions and more with research-based strategies that you can put into action immediately.

In this emotionally charged how-to guide, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll discover eye-opening lessons about: The mask you're wearing. The one you hide behind when you say everything is "just fine" when it's not. Your unrealistic expectations. The goal-setting tactics you're deploying to get ahead could be what's holding you back. The difference between struggling and suffering. Being a mother is a struggle - it always has been - but your suffering is optional.

In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, author Nick Lane brings together the latest research findings in the exciting field of mitochondria research to reveal how our growing understanding of mitochondria is shedding light on how complex life evolved, why sex arose (why don't we just bud?), and why we age and die. This understanding is of fundamental importance, both in understanding how we and all other complex life came to be, but also in order to be able to control our own illnesses, and delay our degeneration and death.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

All that I hoped for!
Sarah and Beth wrote (or in this case read) this book with their customary wisdom and grace. They discuss how to navigate our increasingly tricky world of politics and polarization. My favorite parts are the precious vignettes from their own lives. Whether you are a seasoned Pansuit Politics listener or have never heard of the podcast, I highly recommend this book! It's an honest and nuanced discussion of how to survive in a world that seems increasingly divided! Thanks for another great listen, Sarah and Beth!

Timeline, Balanced, and Wise
My husband and I listened to this book together on a road trip. First, I love that Sarah and Beth narrated their own writing, so it felt like the four of us were on the trip together. Then, the content of the book was fodder for such good conversation. While we hold similar views on so much, this book helped us to discuss topics on which we don't always agree. This also is incredibly helpful as we work in the Church and public education. Knowing how to discuss difficult topics is incredibly important in our everyday lives. This book was also helpful to us as parents of teenagers who are learning what it means to engage in politics especially in a school environment where many, if not most, of their classmates hold conflicting political views to our family. I am so thankful for Sarah and Beth and highly recommend this book.

A manual for moving beyond division
Thank you for your thoughtful and mind expanding information presented with grace. Every word provides greater insight to our own and other’s beliefs. It is relevant to today and I believe it will hold its value for generations to come. This is a wonderful followup to “I think you’re wrong (but I’m listening)”
