Some of My Friends Are...: The Daunting Challenges and Untapped Benefits of Cross-Racial Friendships , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 555min
An insightful look at how cross-racial friendships work and fail within American society.In a US national survey conducted for this audiobook, 70 percent of respondents strongly agreed that friendships across racial lines are essential to making progress toward improving race relations. However, further polling found that most Americans tend to gravitate toward friendships within their own racial category.Psychologist Deborah L. Plummer tells us why that is so. She examines how factors such as leisure, politics, humor, faith, social media, and education influence the nature and intensity of cross-racial friendships. With engaging stories and inspiring anecdotes drawn from national focus groups, interviews, and analyses of survey results of contemporary patterns of adult friendships, she provides insights into the fears and discomforts associated with cross-racial friendships. Through these narratives and social analyses of friendship patterns, Plummer explores how we make connections to form solid bonds and why it is so challenging to do so across a racial divide. She discusses how we cross that divide and get beyond the prickly, uncomfortable moments and have meaningful, enlightening, empathetic conversations about race. With the inclusion of personal stories, this audiobook stirs up authentic racial discourse, prompts listeners to examine their own friendship patterns, and encourages us all to create a better path toward a more enlightened future by crossing racial lines in friendship and deepening the strength of current cross-racial friends. ungekürzt.

The Other Side of Impossible: Ordinary People Who Faced Daunting Medical Challenges and Refused to Give Up , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
You’re faced with a difficult health condition. You have exhausted medicine’s answers. What do you do? Susannah Meadows tells the real-life stories of seven families who persisted when traditional medicine alone wasn’t enough. Their adventures take us to the outer frontiers of medical science and cutting-edge complementary therapies, as Meadows explores research into the mind’s potential to heal the body, the possible role food may play in reversing disease, the power of agency, perseverance, and hope - and more. When journalist Susannah Meadows noticed her three-year-old son, Shepherd, shying away from soccer practice, she had no idea it was the first sign of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The diagnosis was the first step of a long journey, physically painful for Shepherd and emotionally wrenching for Susannah and her family. But they pressed on, and using a combination of traditional and complementary medicine they beat the disease, and the odds. Meadows chronicles her own story and takes you into the lives of other remarkable people, exploring their heartbreaks and triumphs. One boy who has severe food allergies undergoes an unconventional therapy and is soon eating everything. An organic farmer in Washington State tries to solve the puzzle of her daughter’s epileptic seizures. A physician with MS creates her own combination of treatments and goes from a wheelchair to riding a bike again. A child diagnosed with ADHD refuses to take medication and instead improves his life, and the life of his family, after changing his diet. Other families take on rheumatoid arthritis and autistic behaviors. Meadows includes new information about traditional and nontraditional medicine and the latest science on how the health of our gut bacteria is connected to wellness - and how the right foods play a key role in helping this microscopic population thrive. She also talks with scientists who study the traits and circumstances that may ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.
