ACADEMIC MARKET: Trustworthy will be a valuable resource for anyone studying or teaching marketing, branding, PR, or advertising. An early reader of the book, an Illinois-based professor, said: "It is the perfect complement to my class, and I will totally incorporate it into the required reading. I'd never assigned a textbook for this class because I could never find anything that perfectly encompassed what I valued when it comes to creating brand loyalty and brand marketing. Until now."ROOTED IN INDUSTRY RESEARCH: Bloomstein incorporates case studies and examples from a broad array of organizations struggling with trust, empowerment, vulnerability, and authenticity-including home audio retailers, email marketing companies, cookbook publishers, TED, the FBI, Airbnb, the United Kingdom Government Digital Service, and Europe's largest adult toy retailer.TIMELY SUBJECT MATTER: Just as Brené Brown focuses our understanding of personal relationships on the strength of vulnerability, Bloomstein emphasizes how vulnerability can be a unifying force for business-to-consumer communication-and demonstrates in case studies how organizations can operationalize vulnerability and implement it as more than just a buzzword.INTIMATE, INSPIRING, PRACTICAL: In a three-part framework of voice, volume, and vulnerability, Bloomstein brings readers into conversation with business leaders, designers, and writers and unpacks their anecdotes to demonstrate how readers can apply lessons to their own work.GRAND SCALE: While other authors limit their scope to the opportunities and responsibilities of managers, marketers, or consumers, Bloomstein goes big. She offers readers examples, tactics, and inspiration to rebuild trust through their work to support their organizations and society itself.

Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, Calm Within the Storm - Won Silver in the Psychology/Mental & Emotional Well-Being category.From award-winning author Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe: A tender, powerful, and achievable path to the everyday resiliency we all need to navigate the uncertainty in our lives.An inspiring new voice in resiliency, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe believes that our modern conception of resiliency as "fighting" or being "tougher" is misguided.

In Calm Within the Storm, Dr. Robyne maps out a kinder approach to taking on the challenges of life and developing authentic self-alignment and balance.By focusing on research-informed, sustainable, and achievable personal development practices, Dr. Robyne presents a new, attainable model for everyday resiliency-one that everyone can use to feel more grounded and capable. She identifies the obstacles that derail us and keep us stuck, and shows us how to enact our resiliency through stories, research, and practical strategies.

Winner of the 2021 Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature. Gold medal winner in the Graphic Novel/Drawn Book category of the 2022 Independent Publisher Book Awards. A few months after Myriam Steinberg turned forty, she decided she couldn't wait any longer to become a mother. She made the difficult decision to begin the process of conceiving a child without a partner. With her family and friends to support her, she picked a sperm donor and was on her way.But Myriam's journey was far from straightforward. She experienced the soaring highs and devastating lows of becoming pregnant and then losing her babies. She grappled with the best decision to make when choosing donors or opting for a medical procedure. She experienced first-hand the silences, loneliness, and taboos that come with experiences of fetal loss. Unafraid to publicize her experiences, though, she found that, in return, friends and strangers alike started sharing their own fertility stories with her. Although the lack of understanding and language around fetal loss and grief often made it very hard to navigate everyday life, she nonetheless found solace in the community around her who rallied to support her through her journey.Through it all, Myriam remained hopeful and here she unflinchingly shares her story with wry humour, honesty, and courage. Beautifully illustrated by Christache, Catalogue Baby is one woman's story of tragedy and beating the odds, and is a resource for all women and couples who are trying to conceive. Catalogue Baby is a compassionate portrait of fertility and infertility that hasn't been seen before.

#1 National BestsellerBased on a viral article, 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act is the essential guide to understanding the legal document and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous Peoples, written by a leading cultural sensitivity trainer.Since its creation in 1876, the Indian Act has shaped, controlled, and constrained the lives and opportunities of Indigenous Peoples, and is at the root of many enduring stereotypes.
