Foolish : tales of assimilation, determination, and humiliation / by Cooper, Sarah(Writer on leadership),author.(CARDINAL)876435;
"A painfully revealing and hilariously honest debut memoir that chronicles Sarah Cooper's rise from lip-synching in church to lip-synching to the president of the United States. As the youngest of four in a tight-knit Jamaican family, Cooper cut her teeth in the mean cornfields of suburban Maryland. Soon she became a charmingly neurotic woman trying to break her worst patterns and reclaim her linen closet. From an early obsession with hair bands to her struggle to escape the immigrant-to-basic-bitch pipeline to her use of the Internet as a marriage counselor after being fired by two real ones and the curse of her TED Talk vibe, Cooper invites us to share in her triumphs and humiliations as she tries (and fails) to balance her own dreams with the American dream. With determination and wit, Cooper mines a lifetime of oppressive perfectionism for your laughter and enjoyment, as she moves from tech to comedy, marriage to divorce, smart to foolish, while proving once and for all that being foolish is actually the smartest thing you can do"--Jamaicans go to Disneyland, or world, or whatever -- Because I'm the washbelly -- Diary : the Gulf War and the poison concert -- Black enough to be called it, not black enough to say it -- The immigrant-to-basic-bitch pipeline -- Here's an ergonomic chair to protect your body while your soul is dying inside -- This is your brain on ganja -- Sibling rivalry -- My mother's wisdom comes mostly from homegoods décor -- The prodigal daughter returns.

The shame machine : who profits in the new age of humiliation / by O'Neil, Cathy,author.(CARDINAL)610883; Baker, Stephen(Stephen J.),author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-241) and index."A clear-eyed warning about the increasingly destructive influence of America's "shame industrial complex" in the age of social media and hyperpartisan politics-from the New York Times bestselling author of Weapons of Math Destruction. Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool: When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice. But as Cathy O'Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn. It is increasingly being weaponized-used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. Shaming children for not being able to afford school lunches or adults for not being able to find work lets us off the hook as a society. After all, why pay higher taxes to fund programs for people who are fundamentally unworthy? O'Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations, and the healthcare system capitalize on it. There are damning stories of rehab clinics, reentry programs, drug and diet companies, and social media platforms-all of which profit from "punching down" on the vulnerable. Woven throughout The Shame Machine is the story of O'Neil's own struggle with body image and her recent decision to undergo weight-loss surgery, shaking off decades of shame. With clarity and nuance, O'Neil dissects the relationship between shame and power. Whom does the system serve? Is it counter-productive to call out racists, misogynists, and vaccine skeptics? If so, when should someone be "canceled"? How do current incentive structures perpetuate the shaming cycle? And, most important, how can we all fight back?"--
