The Anti-Hustle Shelf
In the everyday hustle and rush and the always-on digital mentality, it's good to have the reminder that sometimes the best way to be productive is, in fact, to do nothing at all...Yes, this means you have permission to be easy on yourself. Take a nap. Read a book. Breathe.
These books explain why that's important and help guide you on what you can strike from your to-do list so that you can re-connect with what matters the most.
This is America
As we mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, it's a good time to revisit the history and founding documents that continue to shape our country today. These books help refresh our knowledge, explore enduring myths, and shed light on misconceptions. Knowing our history positions us better for imagining how and what our future could be.
Immigrant Stories: In Search of Home and Belonging
These works share insight into the immigrant experience: the arduous journeys, the heart-breaking separation from culture and family, all in pursuit of a place that promises hope and safety but presents new, everyday challenges and threats. These authors help us bear witness not only to immigrants' resilience and fortitude, but also shed light on the danger imposed on those deemed unwelcome.
