A Time Must-Read Book of 2025 An NPR Books We Love Most pick From award-winning journalist Joseph Lee, a sweeping, personal exploration of Indigenous identity and the challenges facing Indigenous people around the world. Before Martha’s Vineyard became one of the most iconic vacation destinations in the country, it was home to the Wampanoag people. Today, as tourists flock to the idyllic beaches, the island has become increasingly unaffordable for tribal members, with nearly three-quarters now living off-island. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, journalist Joseph Lee grappled with what this situation meant for his tribe, how the community can continue to grow, and more broadly, what it means to be Indigenous. In Nothing More of This Land, Lee weaves his own story and that of his family into a panoramic narrative of Indigenous life around the world. He takes us from the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard to the icy Alaskan tundra, the smoky forests of Northern California to the halls of the United Nations, and beyond. Along the way he meets activists fighting to protect their land, families clashing with their own tribal leaders, and communities working to reclaim tradition. Together, these stories reject stereotypes to show the diversity of Indigenous people today and chart a way past the stubborn legacy of colonialism.

An unprecedented, dreamwork-centered guide for exploring and understanding your dreams, presented by three Jungian analysts and the hosts of the podcast This Jungian Life With Dream Wise, three expert teachers bring you a resource like none before it--a comprehensive, step-by-step guide synthesizing Carl Jung's renowned theories with the best approaches of those who have followed in his footsteps. Ideal for every level of experience, Dream Wise is for all who are ready to meet "the faithful other, the dream maker, who visits each night with gifts of wisdom." The goal is to do dreamwork, not just learn about it... "Your dreams offer a wealth of wisdom and wonder," explain the authors. "They are one of the best, most reliable ways to get to know our mysterious depths. But you must--quite literally--rise to meet them. Sustained dreamwork facilitates a dialogue between the surface and the depths and is an essential aid in our process of unfolding." In Dream Wise, Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, and Joseph Lee transform the most useful dreamwork concepts and principles into a unique series of 69 "keys" to unlock the meaning of your dreams, illuminating: - How dreamwork assists us on the path of becoming whole (what Jung called individuation) - The three levels of dream imagery: personal associations, factual explanations, and archetypal amplifications - The shadow--the unconscious, unwelcome aspects of yourself that you can meet and integrate with the help of your dreams - Animus/anima--the personification of our unrealized possibilities that urges us toward our highest destiny - The practice of active imagination, Jung's signature technique for psychological healing and growth - How to interpret your dreams--including case examples from the authors' professional practices, 16 daily strategies to boost dream recall, insights into the structure and dynamics of your dreams, and more "Working with dreams requires flexibility, fluidity, and fluency in the symbolic, but above all, it should be enlivening," say the authors. Dream Wise gives you a trustworthy map for exploring the vast reaches of your dreams... an exciting new path to creativity and healing... and a faithful compass to your true becoming.
