› Find signed collectible books: 'Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel'Book summary:"When was the last time you felt this comfortable in a relationship?" -- An ad for sneakers
"You can love it without getting your heart broken."
-- An ad for a car
"Until I find a real man, I'll settle for a real smoke."
-- A woman in a cigarette ad
Many advertisements these days make us feel as if we have an intimate, even passionate relationship with a product. But as Jean Kilbourne points out in this fascinating and shocking exposé, the dreamlike promise of advertising always leaves us hungry for more. We can never be satisfied, because the products we love cannot love us back.
Drawing upon her knowledge of psychology, media, and women's issues, Kilbourne offers nothing less than a new understanding of a ubiquitous phenomenon in our culture. The average American is exposed to over 3,000 advertisements a day and watches three years' worth of television ads over the course of a lifetime. Kilbourne paints a gripping portrait of how this barrage of advertising drastically affects young people, especially girls, by offering false promises of rebellion, connection, and control. She also offers a surprising analysis of the way advertising creates and then feeds an addictive mentality that often continues throughout adulthood. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hunger Pains: The Modern Woman's Tragic Quest for Thinness'Book summary:We live in an appearance-obsessed culture. Fashion ads, magazine covers, TV shows, and movies idealize a body type that is impossible for most real women to achieve. In this comforting, liberating book, Dr. Mary Pipher, bestselling author of Reviving Ophelia, offers advice, counsel, and practical solutions for understanding our needs, our fears, and our many hungers. She shows us how we can at last learn to live at peace with the natural differences in our bodies and appetites.
The rates of anorexia, bulimia, and depression for women are the highest they have ever been, and begin at ever younger ages. Dr. Pipher reveals how society encourages our misery and prevents us from accepting our looks. Indeed, for many women the humiliation of overweight or obesity is a wound that never heals. Dr. Pipher reminds us that accepting our bodies the way they are is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Letters to a Young Therapist: Stories of Hope and Healing'Book summary:Mary Pipher's groundbreaking investigation of America's "girl-poisoning culture," Reviving Ophelia, has sold nearly two million copies and established its author as one of the nation's foremost authorities on family issues. In Letters to a Young Therapist, Dr. Pipher shares what she has learned in thirty years as a therapist, helping warring families, alienated adolescents, and harried professionals restore peace and beauty to their lives. Letters to a Young Therapist gives voice to her practice with an exhilarating mix of storytelling and sharp-eyed observation. And while her letters are addressed to an imagined young therapist, every one of us can take something away from them. Long before "positive psychology" became a buzzword, Dr. Pipher practiced a refreshingly inventive therapy--fiercely optimistic, free of dogma or psychobabble, and laced with generous warmth and practical common sense. But not until now has this gifted healer described her unique perspective on how therapy can help us revitalize our emotional landscape in an increasingly stressful world. Whether she's recommending daily swims for a sluggish teenager, encouraging a timid husband to become bolder, or simply bearing witness to a bereaved parent's sorrow, Dr. Pipher's compassion and insight shine from every page of this thoughtful and engaging book.[via]More editions of Letters to a Young Therapist: Stories of Hope and Healing:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Reviving Ophelia : Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls'Book summary:At adolescence, says Mary Pipher, "girls become 'female impersonators' who fit their whole selves into small, crowded spaces." Many lose spark, interest, and even IQ points as a "girl-poisoning" society forces a choice between being shunned for staying true to oneself and struggling to stay within a narrow definition of female. Pipher's alarming tales of a generation swamped by pain may be partly informed by her role as a therapist who sees troubled children and teens, but her sketch of a tougher, more menacing world for girls often hits the mark. She offers some prescriptions for changing society and helping girls resist. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'What Kids Really Want That Money Can't Buy : Tips for Parenting in a Commercial World'Book summary:As executive director of the Center for a New American Dream, author Betsy Taylor's mission is to shift Americans away from rampart consumerism. Here, she offers parents a clear and simple path to follow to protect their children from the notion that more-is-better. "I want to know that I am loved....My parents buy me many things. But what tells me they love me the most is when they listen to me." At a time when many parents worry that they are raising the "I want" generation, this book offers a helping hand-and a remarkable dose of the truth. Drawing on the touching, honest words of thousands of children who were asked "What do you want that money can't buy?" it helps parents peer into their kids' hearts, hear what really means the most to them, and learn to help them get it. Taylor shows us ways to reinstill a love of life's simple pleasures, teach the difference between friendships and popularity, build family rituals, appreciate nature, and find quiet time together. From protecting your children from a billion-dollar-a-year marketing onslaught to allowing them to develop their own spiritual lives, this much needed book is a dynamic, real-world guide to reshaping our busy lives and giving our children more joy with less stuff-and plenty of what truly matters most.
