BISON MEDICINE

Now is not the time for politics or activism as usual. Now is not the time for raging online, or escaping to screens or foreign lands. You are needed here and now. Your gifts are needed and we have much work to do. We are a nation that does big things. We are the nation of the Constitution, NASA, and the Internet. We defeated the Confederacy and the Third Reich. We defeated hate before and we will defeat it again. But first we have to scope the problem. The nature of our problems are not political, technological, or material - we already have every resource, tool, and policy we need to be free and flourish. Rather, our problems are moral, cultural, spiritual, and psychological and we have to work the problem on these levels. Only then can we be free, flourish, remake society, and finally give hate no quarter on this soil.

READY, SET, SLOW

From internationally celebrated Qi Gong master and beloved television personality Lee Holden comes a transformative journey filled with wisdom and practices on the power of slowing down for spiritual balance and peace amid modern chaos. You don’t have time not to slow down. In the face of burnout, lack of passion, and endless to-do lists, what if to achieve more you need to do less? “There’s too much at stake not to slow down,” shares Qi Gong master Lee Holden. “By slowing down, you’ll gain time, energy, focus, and clarity.” The idea that slowing down can lead to more productivity may sound too good to be true, but research confirms it does this and more—if only we can figure out a way to apply it in our everyday lives. In this transformative guide, Holden shares the Slow Method, principles of slow mind, body, and relationships drawn from the philosophical wisdom of Eastern meditation, martial arts, and philosophies and merged with Western science. The resulting practices offer ways to access the magical benefits of slowing down to create lasting change in your life and the lives of those you love.

UNSTOPPABLE BRAIN

by Dr. Kyra Bobinet

& watch ZH Balance interview

We all want the autonomy and power to change our lives for the better and yet many of us feel stuck in the same bad habits, patterns, and short-term fixes. We know what we should do, but often we cannot get ourselves to actually do it. In Unstoppable Brain, Dr. Kyra Bobinet debunks today’s over-dependence on performance-driven tools such as calorie counting, SMART goals, and likes/followers that attempt to motivate us into behavior change. These methods work well in the short term but have a long-term downside of negative emotions and harmful behaviors. Yet despite these poor results, we keep using the same performative approaches over and over. Something is missing. Emerging research into the neuroscience of behavior and motivation has brought to light to a little-understood area of the brain, the habenula; possibly the most powerful controller of behavior ever found. If left untended, the habenula acts as a failure detector and motivation kill switch that can rob you of positive or lasting change, leaving you stuck in relapse, frustration, and suffering.

PURPOSE WORK NATION

by Brandon Peele
& ZH Balance Podcast Interview

The United States has a powerful purpose - "all are created equal", "E Pluribus Unum", and "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. But this is not our reality as 97% of us are unhealthy, 84% of us are stressed out, 78% of us are paycheck to paycheck, and most of us no longer believe in the "American Dream". And these are just the averages - life is much worse for women and BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, e.g., $.01 of wealth in Black families for every dollar of wealth in white families. Given our political polarization and gridlock, the low (25%) trust in our government and the high trust in our employers (72%), 68% of us now expect business to fill the leadership void and fulfill our purpose. This book empowers business leaders to do just that. Fans of Simon Sinek, Adam Grant, Clayton Christensen, Aaron Hurst, Daniel Pink, and Malcolm Gladwell will be inspired and challenged in new ways and find a deeper expression of their leadership.
