Done:
How to Flourish after Leaving Religion
Americans today are leaving religion in record numbers. For many, the faith, practices, and institutions that once provided comfort and guidance no longer fit their beliefs and values. How can people who are no longer served by traditional religion find new meaning and purpose? How can they process the grief that often accompanies religious or spiritual change? And how can they address challenging interpersonal relationships with people who do not support or understand their religious change? Drawing from psychological theories and research, this book examines the emotional and social processes involved with religious change and offers science-based guidance for building a new life—with or without religion.

Humble
In a world that prioritizes self-aggrandizing and rewards narcissism, people are more disconnected, discontented, and divided than ever. Disagreements are contentious, and we’re unable to respectfully interact with those with whom we disagree. An unhealthy and over-inflated focus on ourselves isn’t working. We need something different. Modern science now supports what ancient wisdom has long suggested: cultivating a life marked by humility can enrich our relationships, improve our work, and transform our society. Rooted in groundbreaking research, this book explores how deliberately developing humility, an often-undervalued character trait and ancient virtue, is central to a life of meaning and purpose.
