The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More—and How We Can Judge Others Less by Ilana Redstone

Title: The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More—and How We Can Judge Others Less Author: Ilana Redstone Narrator: Qarie Marshall, Lisa Larsen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 13 minutes Release date: November 26, 2024 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: When we’re in the Certainty Trap, we tend to view people who disagree with us as hateful, ignorant, or just plain stupid. When it comes to heated social and political issues in particular, many of us know this feeling well—a consuming state of righteous indignation and moral outrage. And this response makes sense because our very certainty tells us that there are simple and obvious causes and solutions to the hot-button issues we care about most. But the things we care about the most are—far more often than not—morally and ethically complex. If the problems that divide us are inherently complicated, then a sense that the answers are obvious—and that anyone who disagrees must be deficient in some way—is misplaced. It's an oversimplification that both leads to and reflects faulty thinking. When we’re certain, we not only fail to recognize the possibility that we’re wrong but also fail to be clear about the principles and values that drive our disagreement in the first place. By committing to challenging and clarifying our thinking—by avoiding the trap certainty sets for us—we can increase social trust, reduce political polarization, and better address the world’s pressing challenges.

Title: A Man Named Joseph: Guardian for Our Times Author: Joe Heschmeyer Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: After spending more than a millennium in relative obscurity, Saint Joseph has become the second-most mentioned saint in the papal magisterium after the Virgin Mary. To understand the life and importance of Saint Joseph, a good place to start is with the first papal title ever granted him: 'Patron of the Universal Church.' What is it that Saint Joseph has to offer the Church—and each one of us—today? That's the question that A Man Named Joseph: Guardian for Our Times seeks to answer. To get there, author, podcaster, and blogger Joe Heschmeyer cuts through a lot of our misconceptions to see what the Bible and the earliest Christians really say about Joseph as a model husband, father, and saint. Questions at the end of each chapter help guide personal reflection and group discussion. Whatever we may be facing in life, we can go to Joseph for his example, his protection, and his prayers.

The hunt for the old king’s lost heir is on, and the first to find them will win the throne. Mikira has allied herself with the rebels in pursuit of the heir, but the deeper her search takes her, the closer she gets to the royal family's wicked past. Ari is struggling to control her own growing power as she grapples with a dark secret that may be her undoing ― and the truth behind Damien's greatest foe. Damien, the new head of House Adair, joins the race to find the royal successor and secure the crown. But as his influence at court grows, so do his paranoia and hunger for power. Reid is trying his best to stay true to the friend who's always had his loyalty ― and the flame who has his heart ― while trapped in a web of chaos and lies. All the while, a darker force is festering in Enderlain’s underbelly. Mikira, Ari, Damien, and Reid will need to find a way back to one another ― and themselves ― before the kingdom is torn apart. Hearts will be broken and new bonds will be forged in this explosive finale to This Dark Descent, where spellbinding fantasy meets Jewish mythology in a cut-throat race for the throne ― and humanity's survival.
