#1 New Release in Punk and Music Philosophy & Social Aspects, Theory, Composition & Performance ─ A Look at the History of the Emo and Indie Music Era

Explore the cultural, social, and psychological factors surrounding the genres. Though songs can be timeless, music is often a result of the era in which it was created. The 2000s in music gave rise to indie, emo, and punk rock, carrying an emotional tone that has resonated with listeners ever since. Originally appealing to a small selection of music lovers, this music era now holds a significant place in the history of rock.

The relationship between music and mental health. Music leaves its mark on the world by touching the hearts and minds of its creators and listeners. This book explores that connection and takes a look at what emo, alternative, and indie music did for the mental health of musicians and listeners.

Inside stories from the music legends themselves. The voices of the rock musicians who contributed to these genres of music are just as important now as they were then. Author Taylor Markarian includes both her own interviews with bands and those from outside sources to provide an oral history and offer an authentic portrayal of these underground arts.

Markarian’s book offers a comprehensive look into genres of music that have been simultaneously mocked and admired. Discover in From the Basement:

  • The beauty and legitimacy of the gritty, wailing music that evolved into indie, alternative, and emo
  • Insights from conversations with favorite emo/indie bands of the time
  • The impact these genres have had on the millennial generation and today’s pop culture and mental health
  • Extensive coverage of bands like Save the Day, Dashboard Confessional, and My Chemical Romance

If books such as Please Kill Me, American Hardcore, Meet Me in the Bathroom, and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs have rocked your world, then From the Basement: A History of Emo Music and How It Changed Society should be your next read.


Please note: A batch of printed copies mislabeled the band Hot Water Music as How Water Music. If you received a copy with this issue, please contact support@mango.bz to recieve a corrected copy of the book.

How to Prioritize for a Productive Day

“Paula Rizzo shows us how to create the happier, more productive lives we want, one list at a time.” —Gretchen Rubin, author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project

Time management is important. Learn to prioritize your time for a less stressed, happy, and productive life.

Don’t waste a minute. A total of 1440 minutes. That’s how many minutes there are in a day. How are you spending those precious minutes? Do you feel drained at the end of the day or look back and can’t figure out where the time went? If you’re not feeling fired up and fueled by your lists, Paula Rizzo, best-selling author and Emmy-award winning television producer, delivers the solution in Listful Living: A List-Making Journey to a Less Stressed You. 

Prioritize what really matters. Listful Living is the journal you need to get your life in order once and for all. Make sure you’re putting the right things on your list, not just lists of tasks but those things you truly want to do that will nourish your soul that ensure you have a good day, everyday.

Make lists work for you. Anyone can make a list. But can that list make you a calmer, more mindful, super productive and less stressed version of yourself? It’s easy to become overwhelmed by to-do’s, bucket lists and goals. The secret to success is not just about what you put on your list, but what you intentionally leave off. Less is more. Leading with intention and how you’d like your life to feel is key. 

In Listful Living learn to: 

  • Tap into your own productivity style to get more done
  • Curate your list making to best serve the lifestyle you want to lead
  • Prioritize what's truly important and be mindful of where you spend your precious energy
  • Create a roadmap to be less stressed

The Beauty of Conflict for Couples

By

#1 New Release in Human Sexuality ― Transform the Way Conflict Affects Your Love Life

Want to bring more peace into your relationship―and also get back that “spark” that’s been missing?

From bad breath to infidelity, find resolution for issues that cause division. If left unresolved, sources of disconnect can lead to major rifts in a relationship. Authors CrisMarie Campbell and Susan Clarke bring over twenty years of experience in family and marriage counseling and relationship coaching to this book. They cater their advice to romantic relationships and provide resolution strategies for women and men.

Bring back the “spark” that’s been missing. Passion is essential to relationships, and equally important across the spectrums of love, sex, and dating. Whether it’s our first love or last love, in order for our bond with our partner to thrive, there needs to be a sense of excitement present. By transforming the way conflict affects us, we create a space for the intimate relationship or passionate marriage we long for to take root and grow.

Conflict doesn’t have to be a deal breaker. While arguments with our partner can get tiring, looking at those disagreements as opportunities to strengthen our bond rather than weaken it can have a significant impact on their effect. With conflict comes the chance to communicate and solve problems together. This can restore a sense of intimacy and connection with our partner, both emotionally and physically.

In The Beauty of Conflict for Couples, you will find:

  • Relatable stories that shed light on the common struggles of romantic relationships
  • Practical tools that offer guidance for addressing conflict
  • A source of hope for relationships that appear to be fated for failure

If you and your significant other have looked for guidance in books such as Mating in Captivity, The 5 Love Languages, Hold Me Tight, or Campbell and Clarke’s first book, The Beauty of Conflict, then you’ll find a further source of resolution in The Beauty of Conflict for Couples.

Awakening from Anxiety author and counselor, Connie Habash, has helped hundreds of spiritual people like you overcome fear, experience anxiety relief, regain happiness, and feel calmer from within.

Spiritual people can suffer from anxiety and depression too. Often, people on a spiritual path have high expectations for themselves–so much so that they become more susceptible to perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety. Sometimes, traditional relaxation techniques either don’t work, don’t last, or, in some cases, actually increase their anxiety.

The missing keys to managing anxiety. Psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and interfaith minister Rev. Connie L. Habash shows us a way to transform our perceptions using mindful awareness, to overcome fear, awaken from stress and worry, and deepen our spiritual awakening. In over 25 years as a counselor helping spiritual people overcome anxiety, Rev. Connie has taught that it takes more than chanting mantras, stretching, or relaxation techniques to calm anxiety. It requires a transformation in perception and a conscious response to thoughts and emotions.

Discover:

  • What anxiety is and when it becomes a problem
  • The 6 mistakes spiritual people make that increase anxiety
  • The 7 keys to a more calm, confident, courageous life
  • How to break through the old patterns of stress, worry, and fear into a new perception of your true self
  • Spiritual principles and yoga philosophy to cultivate inner peace

A Story of Faith, Love, and Destiny for Everyone on a Spiritual Journey

#1 New Release in Mysticism, Miracles & Philosophy

"There are no coincidences in this world: God and Love on Route 80 is the highly entertaining story of a cross-country road trip and a life-long spiritual journey that led the boy to the discovery that a powerful force carries us towards our destinies." ―One Spirit Magazine

Dreams, miracles, synchronicity, and a spiritual journey. This book is for dreamers and questers of any spirituality who are looking for positive meaning and purpose in life. On the road, we can find God, redemption, forgiveness, and the understanding that we are all connected.

There are no coincidences in this world.  Once every generation comes a book so revelatory and lucid, it reconnects us to our very souls. Stephen G. Post’s God and Love on Route 80 is such a book. Post, lead author of the bestselling When Good Things Happen to Good People, was the perfect child and A-student until he took off in the family car, compelled by a persistent vision, his “blue angel dream.” Crossing America on Route 80, his unlikely adventure culminates in a shocking encounter that sets the stage for the rest of his life, a path connected by synchronicities which Post perceived as guidance from God and proof of humanity’s fundamental oneness, Infinite Mind. Truly a story for the ages, God and Love on Route 80 touches on the essential meaning of life and the messages we may all miss unless we begin paying close attention.

Readers inspired by modern classics such as Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle, Peace Like a RiverBecoming Supernatural, or When God Winks at You, will love God and Love on Route 80. Also read Stephen G. Post’s Unlimited Love and Is Ultimate Reality Unlimited Love?
