Recovered alcoholics dissect the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous. We only offer our experience and what we know of the basic text as written in 1939 (which we mostly stole from other people, TBH, but they had some good stuff). Created by the Ladies Big Book club, just a bunch of ladies who like to study the Big Book. ladiesbigbook.com

Recordings of our intensive study of the Big Book covering the title page through "A Vision For You" each journey. This is not a recovery meeting, rather it is a study of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Therefore, it may be a suitable resource for members of twelve-step recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Cocaine Anonymous (CA) and others that follow the practical program of action in the volume "Alcoholics Anonymous". Hosted by David G, David G, and friends - membe ...

Real Recovery is a podcast where recovered alcoholics Natalie Speakman and Michaelis Jacoby share their experience, strength, and hope - but it's not what you think. For them, like many others, they floundered in the watered-down solution shared in meeting rooms - until finding the solution using a specific Big Book study process. In each episode, Michaelis and Natalie are joined by a guest who has had the same spiritual experience as a result of this work. You can find Michaelis at https:// ...

In a day and age of fast paced and brightly colored media on glowing screens, there sits the big book. It is more than a door stop or a place to hide valuable items. But in fact, what can one say about big books? That for some odd reason we either love them or hate them? Why is that? What is the appeal of a big book, yet also the hindrance? Are big books important? Why? And why must they be so heavy? Literally. But also figuratively. In 2017, I have challenged myself to read only big books o ...

The pandemic shook up the way many of us work. It accelerated change in a system often slow to adapt. But more change is needed, argues journalist Brigid Schulte. Her new book, “Over Work,” is centered on the idea that work has not really worked for “far too may people for far too long.” Americans increasingly say they are dissatisfied with their j…

Charles Bock is honest from the beginning of his new memoir, “I Will Do Better”: He never wanted to be a dad. He was much more interested in pursuing his literary dreams than shepherding a child to adulthood. But his wife really wanted a baby. And he didn’t think it would be right to tell her no. “In the book, I say: She wants to be a mom? OK. Let …

American democracy is in trouble. At the heart of the contemporary crisis is a mismatch between America's Constitution and today's nationalized, partisan politics. Although American political institutions remain federated and fragmented, the ground beneath them has moved, with the national subsuming and transforming the local. In Partisan Nation: T…

The volume interrogates the tension between the notion of Israel as a Jew…

The gut is all the rage these days. Many an influencer has built a platform on how to keep our digestive systems happy, healthy and moving. But humans have long fetishized the gut.

What really separates emancipatory thinking from its opposite? The prevailing Left defines itself against neoliberalism, conservative traditionalism, and fascism as a matter of course.

Elections loom large in our everyday understanding of democracy. Yet we also acknowledge that our familiar electoral apparatus is questionable from a democratic point of view. Very few citizens have access to the kinds of resources that could enable them to stand for election; consequently, political candidates (thus officeholders) tend to come fro…

More men than ever are refusing loving partnerships and commitment, and instead seeking out “situationships.” When these men deign to articulate what they are looking for in a steady partner, they’ll often rely on superficial norms of attractiveness rooted in whiteness and anti-Blackness.

An internet search of the phrase "this is what democracy looks like" returns thousands of images of people assembled in public for the purpose of collective action.

Saadia Yacoob’s excellent new book, Beyond the Binary: Gender and Legal Personhood in Islamic Law (U of California Press 2024), makes a compelling argument about gender and Islamic law that has been shockingly overlooked: Legal personhood in Islamic law is intersectional and relational, and gender is not a binary. While Muslims commonly treat gende…

When faced with the realities of climate change, marine biologists must hold two competing thoughts simultaneously: The seas are warming, the fish are waning, the corals are bleaching. But that doesn’t mean the global ocean is doomed. After all, this is the planet’s largest ecosystem. It knows how to adapt. The question is really: Will we enable it…
