Dass R: Be Here Now 2026 Wall Calendar

Be Here Now 2026 Wall Calendar

Teachings from Ram Dass

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

Rebuild Your Attention, Regain Control and Create Lasting Change

Examines whether the rule of law can endure without its natural law and metaphysical foundations, arguing for a renewed, human-centered legal order grounded in objective moral principles and capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as AI, technocracy, and decolonization.
This provocative interdisciplinary volume addresses a mounting global crisis: the erosion of the rule of law in an increasingly secular and technological world. As societies move into what the authors call the "fourth era" of legal history, the rule of law is frequently reduced to a mere "toolkit" for elites or a "checklist" for bureaucratic efficiency, stripped of its deeper moral and transcendent roots. The book explores a vital question: can legal systems remain just when they are "truncated of transcendence" and disconnected from a higher moral order? By sifting through the legacies of legal giants like Lon Fuller and theologians like Karl Barth, the contributors argue that a purely procedural "inner morality" is insufficient to protect human dignity against authoritarian relapses or the cold logic of "technocratisation." 
Central to the book's unique vision is a multivalent, pluralistic re-envisioning of global norms. Drawing on the Christian philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd, specifically his concept of "sphere sovereignty," the authors propose a framework where diverse religious and secular traditions can collaborate without sacrificing their distinct identities. This approach offers a powerful way to decolonize the rule of law, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" Western impositions toward a culturally sensitive synthesis of universal principles and local traditions. 
The text also tackles the controversial relationship between Natural Law and the 10 Commandments, debating whether positive laws should be grounded in "naturally knowable" truths or specific religious revelations in a pluralistic state. 
Looking toward the future, the authors issue a stark warning against the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal adjudication. They argue that replacing human value judgments with machine-driven algorithms threatens to eliminate the discretion and relational interaction essential to true justice. To counter this, the book calls for educational reform and a shift toward "principled legal education" that prioritizes ethics, restorative justice, and a "facts first" approach. Ultimately, this work is a call to action for legal professionals, theologians, and the public to reclaim law as a framework for human flourishing-a "language of love" between the divine and the human that protects the vulnerable from the arbitrary exercise of power.

The Rule of Law, Human Dignity and the Future of Democracy

<div>Learn how the world’s most memorable brands find the words that make them impossible to ignore. Visual identity has its canon. Logos, typefaces, color systems, and design principles have filled bookshelves for decades. But behind every successful brand is another system that shapes perception, builds trust, and creates emotional connection: language. In How Brands Find Their Voice, brand writer and Brand Impact Awards founder Nick Carson gives verbal identity the visual design-book treatment it has long deserved. With a foreword by John Simmons—the acclaimed writer who coined the term “verbal identity”—and built on unprecedented access to leading branding agencies and in-house creative teams, this richly illustrated volume reveals how brand language is developed, expressed, and sustained across every touchpoint. Through in-depth case studies spanning hospitality, technology, consumer goods, and nonprofits, from global institutions to challenger brands, Carson explores how language becomes part of a brand’s DNA. Readers meet the people who do the work and discover how verbal identity emerges from collaboration, research, and craft. Inside, you’ll discover: <ul><li>The evolution of brand voice from advertising copy to modern verbal identity</li><li>How leading agencies develop language systems alongside visual identity</li><li>The strategic thinking behind memorable brand voices</li><li>Different approaches to tone, personality, storytelling, and communication</li><li>How organizations embed verbal identity across teams and touchpoints</li><li>What separates effective brand guidelines from documents that are never used</li><li>The opportunities and challenges that AI presents for brand language</li></ul> Featuring brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry’s, Mailchimp, Virgin, Liquid Death, Innocent, Oatly, and many others—and world-renowned agencies including COLLINS, Wolff Olins, and JKR—the book demonstrates that successful verbal identity is not about clever taglines or isolated campaigns. It’s about creating a coherent language system that shapes every interaction people have with a brand. Filled with photography, packaging, digital experiences, environmental graphics, annotated guidelines, and expert commentary,&nbsp;How Brands Find Their Voice presents language in context, where words and visuals work together to create meaning. For brand strategists, designers, copywriters, marketers, students, and business leaders, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight into one of branding’s most important—and least understood—disciplines.</div>

Why Brands Should Watch Their Language

How Brands Find Their Voice

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

Eight Principles to Craft a More Conscious, Collaborative, and Connected Future

How water infrastructure finance drives the size of our water bills, who can afford them, and the geography of urban landscapes. “Water crises” have emerged in the US with increasing regularity, from Flint, MI to Jackson, MS. Simultaneously, the rise in water bills for the past decade has far outpaced the rising cost of groceries, gas, or electricity, leading more Americans to add water to the growing list of their unaffordable basic necessities. Water and Wall Street by Martin Doyle, Lauren Patterson, and Erika Smull uncovers how the seemingly arcane world of infrastructure finance underlies these and other water trends in US cities, and how water infrastructure shapes the most basic landscape of cities and suburbs. The authors begin by describing the basics of how water infrastructure works, and more importantly, how it is financed by municipal bonds, the backbone of urban finance. They then trace the history of municipal bonds for water from the founding of Philadelphia in the eighteenth century to the bankruptcy of Detroit in the twenty-first. Along the way, they also explore financial geography: how water bills, water affordability, and the peculiarities of infrastructure finance create distinct geographies of water capital. Finally, they take a speculative look at alternative future states for our cities, our infrastructure, and our water.

Eight Zany Tales to Inspire Your Creativity!

SILLY STORIES – And How to Write Them!

The creator and CEO of ProWritingAid uses the latest science of peak performance and psychology to reveal how, in only four minutes a day, writers can become "creative athletes" and unlock their greatest asset: their mind.The Writer's Mind solves the biggest problem in writing: the unfinished manuscript.Most writers don't struggle because they lack talent, discipline, or ideas. They struggle because of what happens in their minds when they sit down to write. Even motivated, skilled writers find themselves blocked by self-doubt, perfectionism, procrastination, and emotional exhaustion. The creative brain must constantly switch between imagination and focus-often over long periods-and this unique mental demand makes writing feel harder than it needs to be.In The Writer's Mind, Chris Banks draws on neuroscience, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral science, and a decade of first-hand research with millions of writers to reveal a simple truth: mindset-not craft-is the primary factor that determines whether writers finish their work or quietly give up.Introducing writers to how their brains actually work, including the concept of the mind as an 'energy landscape' shaped by habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns, readers learn how common 'writing blocks' form, why their biggest strengths often hide their biggest limitations, and how small, intentional mental practices can rewire creativity, focus, and resilience. These tools help writers quiet their inner critic, escape overthinking, build sustainable focus, and develop a healthier relationship with their creative work.Blending science and storytelling, The Writer's Mind reframes writing from an uphill battle into a sustainable creative practice. It offers writers not inspiration alone, but a clear, compassionate operating manual for consolidation, consistency, and joy.
